Taking women seriously

Article Abstract:

Social issues are an important factor in explaining why most mental health problems, including depressive illness, are diagnosed more often in women than in men. Women tend to suffer more poverty and deprivation than men, particularly in cases of marriage breakdown, while working women are generally in less well-paid occupations than men. It is important for mental health professionals to recognise that social factors can lower women's self-esteem and make them feel isolated, leading to depressive illness, and to take this into account in their work.

Dealing in hope

Article Abstract:

Nursing leaders often devalue the contributions of others to increase their own feelings of worth. Leadership must be redefined as nursing roles rapidly develop and the NHS becomes market-led. There are few nursing posts clearly defined as leadership positions or management roles. Both the RCN and the Department of Health have recently introduced major leadership initiatives.

Nurse managers are not clinical leaders

Article Abstract:

The British National Health Service points to nurses who have become health care industry managers when it claims to support nursing leadership. But the new administrators are no longer working as nurses so they are not nursing leaders.
