TL;DR: In this article, the authors argue that the cumulative potential of small tourism operators to play a significant role in the alleviation of poverty through tourism to the mutual benefit of both operators and local communities is highlighted.
Abstract: South Africa, like many developing countries, views tourism as a panacea to the evils of poverty that bedevil the country's rural African communities. Whilst there has been substantial growth in the tourism sector since 1994, the anticipated benefits have not materialized for those most in need of an improved quality of life. Work undertaken in the field of pro-poor tourism focuses predominantly on the large tourism actors and their potential role in the alleviation of poverty through the development of sustainable supply chains and joint venture arrangements. The role that could be played by the myriad small operators, who collectively comprise the bulk of the South African tourism industry, has largely been ignored. This article argues that greater attention should be paid to the cumulative potential of small tourism operators to play a significant role in the alleviation of poverty through tourism to the mutual benefit of both operators and local communities.

TL;DR: In this paper, focus groups were formed to discover the views of preceptors and preceptees in children's nursing on what their programme should include and achieve and the knowledge gained from this exercise informed a preceptorship model for one NHS trust.
Abstract: The impending change to nurse education with the move to an all-degree profession in the UK from 2013 and the increasing demands made on nurses working in the NHS make successful transition from student to staff nurse a high priority. The stress of this move can be minimised by efficient preceptorship for the first six months of practice. As part of a practice-based project two focus groups were formed to discover the views of preceptors and preceptees in children's nursing on what their programme should include and achieve. The knowledge gained from this exercise informed a preceptorship model for one NHS trust.

TL;DR: The A-BSS-R represents a robust and valid measure of the birth satisfaction concept suitable for use within Australia and appropriate for application to International comparative studies.
Abstract: Objective and background: The 10-item Birth Satisfaction Scale-Revised (BSS-R) has recently been endorsed by international expert consensus for global use as the birth satisfaction outcome measure of choice. English-language versions of the tool include validated UK and US versions, however the instrument has not to date, been contextualised and validated in an Australian English-language version. The current investigation sought to develop and validate an English-language version of the tool for use within the Australian context.
Methods: A two-stage study. Following review and modification by expert panel, the Australian BSS-R (A-BSS-R) was (Stage 1.) evaluated for factor structure, internal consistency, known-groups discriminant validity and divergent validity. Stage 2. directly compared the A-BSS-R dataset with the original UK dataset to determine the invariance characteristics of the new instrument. Participants were a purposive sample of Australian postnatal women (n=198).
Results: The A-BSS-R offered a good fit to data consistent with the BSS-R tri-dimensional measurement model and was found to be conceptually and measurement equivalent to the UK version. The A-BSS-R demonstrated excellent known-groups discriminant validity, generally good divergent validity and overall good internal consistency.
Conclusion: The A-BSS-R represents a robust and valid measure of the birth satisfaction concept suitable for use within Australia and appropriate for application to International comparative studies.
