摘要:

The term “compliance” and its traditional definitions frequently are criticized in the literature. Although a number of authors advocate a collaborative model of compliance, with compliance decisions and responsibilities for health outcomes shared by provider and patient, few describe this model in practice. This study investigated compliance communication in two home care agencies. Findings from interviews with 6 nurses and observation during home visits to 25 patients (N = 31) revealed a prosocial, collaborative model of compliance that coincides with the participative model of medical care (Smith, 1989) and a redefinition of compliance advanced by Kontz (19

摘要:

Presence is an important but confusing concept in nursing. At times, it is used to simply characterize a nurse's physical presence, while, at other times, it is used in a highly metaphysical sense to depict a nurse's full physical, psychological, and spiritual presence. As a concept, presence has not been clearly defined. Its core characteristics need to be identified and separated from those characteristics that reflect its variability. The authors establish a definition of presence as “being there” based on the essence of the concept as it is used in the nursing literature; identify four ways in which presence varies based on the quality of being there, the focus of the nurse's energy, and the nature of the nurse‐patient interaction; and address possible outcomes of each

Nursing Forum invites readers to engage in thoughts and activities that may awaken an untouched place. We hope these writings will kindle your personal involvement in something that was previously avoided—because of bias, fear, or uneasiness—in order to stretch your mind and spirit.The purpose of this paper is to explore the act of speaking up as a moral obligation and its relationship to moral courage and habit.
