摘要:

The AIDS epidemic has caused hysteria among the public and concern to many healthcare workers in the past 12 years. Currently, legislation exists for mandatory AIDS testing in some populations. The questions remain: Should healthcare workers be routinely tested? If so, is mandatory testing ethical? The author explores the incidence and prevalence of AIDS among healthcare workers, discusses why mandatory testing for healthcare workers is an issue, and examines the legal and ethical principles involved in mandatory testing.

摘要:

The purpose of this paper is to reevaluate the nursing diagnosis of spiritual distress in relation to Marjory Gordon's criteria of discriminatory power, generality, flexibility, usefulness, and inclusiveness. The author suggests that nursing's perspective of the spiritual dimension and spiritual distress is both narrow and inadequate in today's multicultural, multidimensional healthcare setting. Views of spirituality from multiple disciplines are discussed to illustrate the diversity of the phenomenon and contrast views that primarily emphasize religiosity and psychosocial factors. Reevaluation of spiritual distress and spirituality must come in the form of holistic and humanistic approaches in nursing education and research, integration of the spiritual dimension within nursing curricula, and recognition of multidisciplinary, global perspectives of the spiritual phenomenon. The author stresses the importance of the spiritual dimension and its impact upon a person as a multidimensional being.

摘要:

The issue of healthcare resource allocation is examined from the macro perspective with the view to building a case for health promotion and prevention. The author suggests a health promotion framework as an alternative, or at least a complementary approach, to resource allocation, with the potential, over the long term, to slow the growth of healthcare costs. Supportive and opposing arguments are presented for the case of health promotion. The author concludes with a synthesis of a new perspective for nursing in the struggle to allocate healthcare resources in a fair and just manner.

摘要:

Nursing has arrived at acceptance of several and diverse paradigms in conceptualization of its phenomena, research methodologies, and guidance of the discipline. Scholars and clinicians recognize the interaction of the person with the environment. Some implicitly focus on the experiences of stress, human responses, or efforts to cope with stress and movement toward adaptation or integrity of function. Stress‐coping‐adaptation is a complex conceptual framework with features powerful enough to explain nursing's phenomena of concern. Discourse dealing with stress‐coping‐adaptation as integral in nursing theory, research, practice, and education is warranted at th
