摘要:

The VIPS‐model developed by Ehnfors et al. (1991) for nursing documentation and writing of care plans was used and evaluated by nursing students in connection with their final assignments. In addition to their evaluation by the use of a questionnaire, the students' written care plans were reviewed. Three instruments were used, two were tested in earlier studies when reviewing registered nurses' care plans, and one was developed especially for this review of the quality of the students' care plan assignments. The results showed that the key words for nursing assessment were evaluated as both useful and easy to use while the key words for nursing interventions were considered useful but more difficult and were used to a less extent. Many students did not document any outcome or any discharge notes. The instruments that were used for the review of the care plans were of great help in analyzing the use of the model as well as the content and comprehension of the key word

摘要:

Cancer patient and staff perceptions of the importance of caring behaviors (Caring Assessment Instrument, CARE‐Q) and patient levels of anxiety and depression (Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale, HADS) were determined in 19 matched patient‐staff dyads. Both groups perceived comforting and anticipating behaviors to be among the most important ones. Patients considered behaviors focused on staff explaning and facilitating to be more important than did staff, whereas staff rated behaviors concerning accessibility as more important than did patients. Patient and staff perceptions of the importance of comforting behaviors were negatively associated. No significant mean value difference or correlation was found on the HADS anxiety or depression subscales. Members of matched patient‐staff dyads did not agree strongly on the importance of caring behaviors and patient levels of anxiety and depre

摘要:

Although nursing literature on ‘caring’ has proliferated in recent years, relatively little empirical data exists about which aspects of nursing practice are those recognized and valued by patients. The purpose of the qualitative study presented here is to explore the manner in which one group of Swedish patients describe and explain the domain of nursing. The data presented derives from interviews with persons diagnosed with cancer during 1987 at one general hospital in the greater Stockholm area. Forty‐six patients were interviewed in 1988–89, and 20 of these survivors were interviewed again in 1992. The domain of nursing practice ‘expected’ by the patients was seen to be defined positively, both by what nurses ‘are’ and ‘do’, as well as negatively, by what they do not do. It was found that the patient—nurse contact, as described by these patients, was between an individual patient and a nursing collective. Finally, the need for local rather than global criteria for evaluating nurs

摘要:

Occupational Case Analysis Interview and Rating Scale (OCAIRS) is an instrument for assessing occupational performance. Consisting of a semi‐structured interview and a rating scale, OCAIRS is based on the Model of Human Occupation (Kielhofner 1985) and has been translated into Swedish. The rater reliability of the Swedish version (OCAIRS‐S) was tested on two different populations: acute psychiatric in‐patients and patients suffering from chronic muscular pain. The Intraclass Correlation Coefficient and the Percentage Agreement methods were used to calculate the strength of agreement between raters. Content validity was tested using the Percentage Agreement method. Research results indicate that the instrument has a reasonable rater reliability. Although the content validity study produced insufficient information, it nevertheless supports the use of OCAIRS‐S as a reliable instrument. Further research and development on the instrument is reco

摘要:

The analysis of life control and its development is an issue of central concern to modern health research. This article discusses longitudinal questionnaire data in an attempt to identify factors that predict young men's life control in early childhood and adolescence. No factors in the childhood family background predicted strong life control in adulthood. A positive development in the family's social situation showed a positive association with life control in adulthood. Poor school performance and unhealthy habits in adolescence were associated with poor life control in adulthood. According to a regression analysis, the following factors predicted a strong life control in adulthood: regular physical exercise, positive changes in the family's social situation, no school class repeats, no experimentation with intoxicants in adolescence, admission into intermediate level of education, and no smoking in adolescence. It is crucially important for purposes of health promotion to identify factors which predict life control in adulthood. By helping adolescents to achieve life control, we are also helping them to cope with developmental tasks and therefore to promote their health.

摘要:

The purpose of this descriptive study was by means of a questionnaire to obtain data on how 13 nursing schools, offering a postgraduate specialization in psychiatric nursing in Norway, have incorporated a public health perspective into their curricula. Since the mid‐1980s, national health policies and Health for All by A.D. 2000 have placed emphasis on decentralization of all health care services, including services for the mentally ill. The Community Health Law of 1984 guarantees all Norwegian citizens such services in their local communities. The schools have traditionally emphasized curative services in hospitals, rather than health promotion and preventive measures at community level. Are the new graduates prepared for psychiatric work at community level? A content analysis of a semistructured questionnaire revealed that a social psychiatric perspective has indeed been incorporated in today's curricula. This was supported by reviewing the required reading lists for each of the 13 schools. Roughly one can say that the schools represent two perspectives: 1) those focusing primarily on relational aspects, and 2) those focusing on relational aspects within a social psychiatric framewor
