Implications for practice and research:
Promoting research development early in nursing education improves perceptions and use of research findings among practising nurses.
Future research is essential to identify strategies that contribute to developing clinical inquiry skills leading to optimal patient outcomes.

Good clinical practice (GCP) is a set of internationally-recognised ethical and scientific quality requirements that must be followed when designing, conducting, recording and reporting clinical trials that involve people.
What to consider when undertaking research with vulnerable participants
When researchers plan projects they are often filled with enthusiasm about the topic area and the new understanding they will gain from the data. Sometimes, this leads them to overlook the effect on participants of being asked to engage in data collection, especially when this is burdensome.

A major mental health research programme, led by the MRC, has been announced today, to explore what makes teenagers more or less likely to develop mental health problems and how we might intervene early.
In their 2016 article, Sammons et al summarise the recommendations of the Nuffield Council on Bioethics report, Children and Clinical Research: the Ethical Issues.1 We welcome the article’s important message that researchers look beyond age when considering ethical and participatory issues and respond as critical friends (more friends rather than critical) to the six issues they identify. We provide additional material on the history and wider context, including child public health, education and social care research, bearing in mind that the service context for children has tended to be more multiprofessional than for adults. Social science and social care have a sustained history to offer on participation and how to research with and not on children and young people..

The last decade has witnessed increased recognition of the value of literature reviews for advancing understanding and decision making. This has been accompanied by an expansion in the range of methodological approaches and types of review. However, there remains uncertainty over definitions and search requirements beyond those for the ‘traditional’ systematic review. This study aims to characterise health related reviews by type and to provide recommendations on appropriate methods of information retrieval based on the available guidance..

Research letter. Multiple statistical testing (or multiple comparisons) occurs quite often in psychiatric research since it remains common for a given sample to have multiple exposures and outcomes assessed concurrently 1. One reason for this is that clinical presentations in psychiatry are complex phenomena whose etiologies appear to comprise multiple environmental and biological factors with small‐to‐moderate magnitudes 2. So, although complex etiologies could be modeled using interactions and advanced multivariable statistical models, it is common that they need crude estimates of novel variables, increasing the probability of dealing with multiple comparisons..

A small proportion of every nation's young people become sufficiently antisocial to come into contact with the criminal justice system. Many also have disorders of mental health or emotional well‐being. Although countries vary in designating age of criminal responsibility, all must provide services for offenders, perhaps as young as 10, both to help them and safeguard their peers and the wider public..
