摘要:

ABSTRACT.There is a great need today for clinically useful instruments in the rehabilitation of chronic pain patients. The Arthritis Self‐efficacy Scale measures patients' perceived self‐efficacy to cope with the consequences of chronic arthritis. The aim of the present study was to evaluate a Swedish version of the Arthritis Self‐efficacy Scale with respect to factor structure and reliability. Twenty‐five chronic pain patients and twenty‐four rheumatology patients were given a Swedish version of the Arthritis Self‐efficacy Scale twice within a three week interval. The three factor structure of the scale was confirmed; Cronbach's alpha for internal consistency ranged between 0.82–0.91 and test‐retest correlations ranged between 0.81–0.91, showing that the instrument satisfactorily met psych

ABSTRACT.The purpose of the study is to create a descriptive evaluation basis for the quality of nursing care. In this article a short quantitative description of the most frequent elements of good nursing care is reported, using the views of Finnish nurses and nurse teachers. These elements are: interaction, comprehensiveness, need‐centerness, initiativeness, technical procedures and knowledge‐base. Based on these, further research areas can be seen both in nursing practice and in educat

摘要:

ABSTRACT.The purpose of this investigation was to evaluate whether the condition of the oral mucous membrane and the mouth comfort of the elderly could improve using a mucin‐containing saliva substitute. In total, 52 patients were examined before and after a 60‐day treatment period, with mucin‐containing saliva substitute given three times a day before meals. The patients were examined with regard to weight, oral mucosa condition, the duration of meals, eating and swallowing. Before the treatment period the prevalence of stomatitis was 90.4% and oral candidosis was 80.8% compared to 15.4% and 5.8% respectively after the treatment period. The pH increased significantly. Artificial mucin‐containing saliva substitute seems to be an adequate treatment of stomatitis and oral candidosis in elderly p

摘要:

ABSTRACT.Greek fathers' (n= 157) reactions to their presence at the delivery, their expectations about the baby and their childcare practices were explored at the 4th–6th week postpartum. Only 10% of the sample attended the delivery. Their non‐attendance was attributed, by the greatest number of fathers, to official hospital policy while the rest claimed it was entirely their decision. Half of the non‐attenders expressed the desire to have been present while a large percentage of mothers were said to have wanted them to be present. The small number of fathers who attended the birth felt strong and satisfied. In respect to early fatherhood, three main themes were explored: reaction to fatherhood, enjoyment of the child and involvement in childcare. All three dimensions were strongly corre

摘要:

ABSTRACT.Translation of a research instrument questionnaire from English to another language is analyzed in relation to principles involved, procedures followed, and problems confronted by nurse researchers from the US–Nordic Family Dynamics Nursing Research Project. Of paramount importance in translation are translation equivalency, congruent value orientation, and careful use of colloquialisms. It is important to recognize that copyright guidelines apply in the translation of an instrument. Approaches to solving instrument translation problems are discusse

摘要:

ABSTRACT.The paper proposes that Antonovsky's salutogenic orientation and his sense of coherence (SOC) concept provide a sound theoretical basis for the study and strengthening of the caring component in clinical practice. In order to study the operational utility of the concept, the 29‐item SOC questionnaire (in two formats) was administered to five Swedish samples (3 groups of nurses, patients in a hospital emergency department, and a general population sample). Psychometric data are provided which test the internal and test‐retest reliability of the SOC scale. A Self‐Motivation Inventory (SMI) and the Karolinska Scales of Personality (KSP) were used to test the relation between the SOC concept and personality traits. The results revealed that those with strong SOC also scored as having more general motivation and less Somatic and Psychic Anxiety as well as less Hostility. In addition the data, though in some part modest in sample size, consistently supported the view that the SOC scale is a robust instrument. Particular note is taken of its crosscultural character and of its potential utility in clinical
