    Let's Talk About the Elephant in the Room: A Psychological Safety Climate Intervention Among Nursing Teams - A Qualitative Evaluation

    Aim: To explore how a staff and managers experienced a multi-component and multi-level intervention to influence the psychological safety climate within nursing teams. Design: Qualitative, to explore the experiences of registered nurses, licensed practical nurses, and managers in a Swedish hospital. Methods: Four focus group discussions were conducted in March 2023 with staff and managers (n = 20). A deductive thematic analysis was conducted, guided by a theoretical model of psychological safety, to examine work climate perceptions and antecedent conditions. An inductive approach was used to explore how participants experienced the intervention. Results: Participants experienced a shift from a blame-oriented to a more psychologically safe work climate. These developments were enabled by enhanced self-awareness, more supportive interpersonal dynamics, and leaders adopting a more accessible and vulnerable role. The intervention created a safe space to reflect on team dynamics. Conclusion: Sustained efforts that integrate self-awareness, interpersonal dynamics, and managerial support are important to intentionally develop psychological safety. The creation of safe spaces can serve as a first step to confront unaddressed group beliefs. Implications for the Profession and/or Patient Care: Interventions aimed at improving psychology safety can have positive effects if they focus on developing individual trust and vulnerability, targeting group dynamics, and including leaders. Impact: Problem addressed: Inadequate psychological safety among nursing teams, hindering effective collaboration. Main findings: By changing work conditions, the intervention led to improved perceived psychological safety. Research impact: Creating conditions for psychological safety can improve how teams function. Reporting Method: COREQ-checklist. Patient or Public Contribution: No PPI patient or public contribution.

    Remediating Games: A New Chapter? The Case of Fallout Digital Games’ Series and Fallout Television Series

    The paper is a comparative analysis of certain narrative aspects of the Fallout digital game series and its television adaptation, Amazon’s Fallout. Using the theory of remediation, the paper compares narrative and worldbuilding techniques in both formats, highlighting how the television series diverges from the games due to media-specific qualities. Key aspects such as character construction, storytelling, spatial narrative, and pacing are analyzed to demonstrate how the adaptation both preserves and transforms the original’s thematic and aesthetic elements. The study underscores the significance of contextualizing media-specific practices within cultural and historical frameworks, contributing to a nuanced understanding of digital game adaptations as a form of remediation.

    In search of the Holy Grail : a quest for educating typographers at Polish (design) universities

    This essay explores the search for an ideal typography course of typograpy. It analyzes the historical and social context of typography in post-war Poland, highlighting the impact of a non-democratic state on graphic design. It addresses the legacy of elitist education and linguistic uniformity, revealing challenges in the current education system. An interdisciplinary team seeks to define the ideal course through qualitative and quantitative research, underlining the need to understand the current chal-lenges. Models of design education are discussed, recognizing the absence of a perfect course and focusing on the need to standardize content and include modern media in education.

    Diplomacy of grievance: National narcissism, exclusive victimhood, and demanding WWII reparations in Poland and Greece

    Demands for war reparations often re- emerge in political discourse, decades after conflicts have ended. This research investigates the psychological underpinnings of public support for claiming World War II reparations, focusing on the roles of national narcissism and ingroup victim beliefs. Across four pre-registered studies conducted in Poland and Greece (total N = 2780), we show that national narcissism—a defensive belief in national greatness coupled with a desire for external recognition—predicts support for war reparation claims. This relationship is mediated by perceptions of ingroup victim beliefs, particularly exclusive victimhood, which emphasizes the ingroup's unique suffering. Our findings illuminate how identity-based motivations, especially those rooted in narcissistic group beliefs and selective historical narratives, can shape support for populist foreign policy initiatives long after the original conflict has ended.

    Gender-Specific Correlates of Suicidal Behaviour: Insights from the Interpersonal Theory of Suicide

    Lubas-Grzyb, Anna

    Marganski, Alison J.
    Background/Objectives: This study examined gender-specific psychological and interpersonal correlates of suicidal behaviour using the framework of the Interpersonal Theory of Suicide (IPTS). Methods: The study included a total of 181 respondents from a clinical group (N = 93) and a control group (N = 88). Logistic regression analyses were conducted separately for women (N = 86) and men (N = 80) for cases that met leverage values (LEV) ≤ 0.2. Variables included personality traits, coping style, hopelessness, self-esteem, hope, perceived burdensomeness, thwarted belongingness, and acquired capacity for suicide. Interaction terms were also tested. Results: Among women, hopelessness (Exp(B) = 1.37; p = 0.038) and perceived burdensomeness (Exp(B) = 1.12; p = 0.033) were identified as significant correlates of suicidal behaviour. Among men, an avoidance-focused style (Exp(B) = 1.18; p = 0.009) and the interaction of general capacity for suicide x perceived burdensomeness x thwarted belongingness (Exp(B) = 5.29; p = 0.043) emerged as significant correlates. Further analysis indicated that thwarted belongingness became a significant factor in men only when perceived burdensomeness and capacity for suicide were high (Nagelkerke R2 = 0.33; Exp(B) = 1.17; p = 0.042). Conclusions: Gendered expressions of suicidality appear to follow distinct pathways. Within the IPTS framework, women’s suicidality is more closely shaped by internalized cognitive and affective processes, including hopelessness and perceived burdensomeness, whereas men’s behaviour is influenced by maladaptive coping, social disconnection, and acquired capacity for suicide. These findings highlight the importance of gender-specific prevention and intervention strategies across clinical and community contexts. Early identification of these correlates may reduce suicidal intent, prevent rehospitalization, and improve mental health outcomes.
