摘要:

ABSTRACT.Ninety‐one focused interviews concerning the feeding of 23 severely demented patients were performed with 62 caregivers who fed the patients in a task assignment system. The aim was to increase the understanding about how caregivers perceive and interpret severely demented patients' behaviour and experiences during feeding. Content analysis showed that the caregivers' commitment or lack of commitment constituted a superior level that determined whether the patient was seen as a subject or as an object. Subcategories that were found were knowledge of the patient's disease and personal history, intuition, identification, empathy, generalisation and routinisatio

摘要:

ABSTRACT.This paper is based on conversations the author had with six nurses about their experiences of caring when working with cardiac patients. The text is orientated to elucidating the lived experience of caring so as to provide new possibilities for understanding, and to raising questions for the sake of opening up different perspectives on the nature of caring. Six themes emerge from the experiential descriptions: Sensing the patient's vulnerability: beyond the call of duty; being in tune with the patient's world; being attentively present; centring on the patient; and being comfortable with the patient. Pseudonyms are used so as to maintain anonymity of the nurses and their patients. The female pronoun is used throughout the paper because all the nurses interviewed were females.

摘要:

ABSTRACT.This article discusses conceptions of sexuality and the satisfaction of sexual needs in a sample of aged home nursing patients (N= 50) in a small rural town in Finland. The purpose of the study, which was carried out as part of a nursing development project in the form of action research, was to gain a deeper understanding of the satisfaction of basic human needs and problems of need‐satisfaction in aged people, particularly in the domain of sexual needs. The data were collected using a semi‐structured questionnaire, which was designed primarily on the basis of the need theories of Yura&Walsh and Orem.Negative attitudes towards sexual needs were found in more than half of the aged respondents; they did not consider it proper for aged people to have an active sex life. One‐quarter felt that sexual needs and desires were shameful and sinful. Only less than one‐quarter had positive attitudes towards sex. The majority of the respondents felt that they could freely and confidently talk about sex with the nursing staff, but only less than one‐quarter were willing to do so. Almost all had some need to show affection to another person. The majority accepted their own self‐image, but half were not satisfied with their physical

摘要:

ABSTRACT.Stress urinary incontinence is the most common form of female incontinence. The purpose with this study was to describe consequences of episiotomy and spontaneous tears on urinary incontinence after the delivery. A postal questionnaire was sent to 205 women who had participated in an earlier study concerning episiotomy and spontaneous tears during delivery. They were contacted four years post‐partum. One hundred and eighty‐five women (90%) responded and there was no difference in the response rate between the group with episiotomy and in the group with spontaneous tears. Urinary incontinence symptoms were found in 65 women (36%). This frequency was similar in both groups. The study does not confirm the protective value of episiotomy on urinary incontine

摘要:

ABSTRACT.Giving of information to cancer patients and their family members regarding the disease, the treatment procedures and the adaptation process for living with the uncertainty inherent in a diagnosis of cancer, is as reported often not effective due to peoples' failure to understand. The impact of emotional stress creates communication difficulties. Information not based on assessed learning needs and considered individual differences as to learning militates against proper understanding. In developing an educational programme a study has been carried out aiming to assess learning needs. Cancer patients (n= 50), their family members (n= 20) and staff members within cancer care (n= 30) were asked to answer a need assessment questionnaire. The patients/family members indicated an extensive desire to learn about cancer and its ramifications, whereas staff members indicated that they seldom were approached regarding some questions in the area. The findings support the appropriateness for providing a structured patient education programme based on assessed needs and planned to meet individual differences in learning readiness and learning capabilities, that would complement the information currently given by staff members.
