Stigmatisation and shame – a qualitative study of living with obesity
Healthcare personnel should treat obese people with openness and without prejudice. By doing so, they can help them develop a resistance to shame.

Both students in clinical nursing education and their preceptors think that the assessment form, which is based on the principles of the AssCE form, can be used as a model to assess the students.
When public health nurses use the EPDS screening tool in addition to their gut feeling and clinical judgment, they identify more mothers who need help.
The model helped to ensure that work placement supervisors were better prepared to welcome students, and this strengthened the quality of learning. However, this requires management support, as well as planning and professional resources.
Registered nurses noted a greater number of clinical signs of infection in infants with catheter-related bloodstream infections (CRBSI) than in infants without such infections. However, not all observations were documented.
It may be beneficial to screen at-risk individuals for depressive symptoms and recognise that they may need more support from healthcare personnel.
Healthcare personnel who work with parents who are mentally ill or have substance abuse problems are uncertain about their role. The support that the children receive can therefore be haphazard.
The registered nurses demonstrated a higher level of competence than the nursing associates and healthcare assistants. However, scores were too low in all three groups in response to emergency scenarios.
The teaching assistants were second-year students themselves, and used academic competence, social engagement and creative methods. This made it easier for the nursing students to learn complex academic material.
They observe eye contact, comforting and other behaviours based on experience rather than by making use of recognised instruments. Their assessments are influenced by professional development opportunities, a heavy workload and interdisciplinary collaboration.
