Nurses in an intensive care unit must make immediate care-giving decisions that have observable and potentially life-altering consequences for patients. Previous research suggests that information-seeking behavior in this setting would be based on perceived expertise and availability. However, social network research has also found a strong tendency in groups toward balanced relationships between members. In a group with an uneven distribution of expertise but strong norms of cooperation and reciprocity, seeking information from others may also depend on expectations of reciprocal behavior in difficult situations. This study examines the reported interpersonal consultation networks of 32 nurses in an intensive care unit to explore competing explanations for their information-seeking behaviors. Nurses did tend to report they would seek information from nurses they perceived as having high levels of expertise. Nurses with an intermediate level of nursing experience, however, reported differentiated information-seeking behavior with novice nurses, while nurses perceived as experts were either highly selective or very unselective in who they reported they would consult with. There were also meaningful differences in reported consultation patterns between the day and night shifts. ..PAT.-Unpublished Manuscript [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Reviews the book "Treating Compassion Fatigue," edited by C. Figley.

Children in early childhood settings today face an adulthood full of decisions about how and for whom they should care. As the world is literally accessible through their fingertips and ever-increasing technological advances, the need for a deeper and perhaps an earlier understanding of global differences appears imminent. Children must be equipped to get along with a wide variety of people throughout their lives. In early childhood, young children begin to learn to work cooperatively, compassionately, and empathetically. Empathy, or being able to feel for others has been identified by as one of the core moral emotions. It drives prosocial development and motivates children to do something on behalf of another. Empathy is supported when adults use books and literature to encourage secure attachment and nurturing among children.
