摘要:

The observed costs of nursing care for individual patients are compared with their stated dependency levels. The average costs of the dependency groups rise with dependency, but there are very large overlaps between the distributions. The derivation of a systematic method for allocating extra staff to wards illustrates the difficulty in matching staff supplied to labour demanded, especially in view of the small size of wards as management units. Nurses are warned against the consequences of cost‐inefficienc

摘要:

A survey to compare the levels of intrinsic job satisfaction of primary and non‐primary nurses was conducted. Within the survey, the relationship between intrinsic job satisfaction and staff retention was addressed. Wards which met a criteria for primary nursing, designed by Davies (1989) were included in the study. Thirty‐two primary nurses were identified. A comparative group of non‐primary nurses was identified by ‘pairing’ nurses on certain variables. Data was gained by questionnaire using a Likert Scale. Open questions were also asked to gain qualitative data. Non‐parametric statistical tests were used to analyse quantitative data. Content analysis was used to analyse qualitative data. No significant difference was demonstrated between primary and non‐primary nurses levels of intrinsic job satisfaction or intentions to stay in nursing. Qualitative data yielded interesting results. Primary and non‐primary nurses gained job satisfaction in different areas of work. Primary nurses gave intrinsic reasons, non‐primary nurses gave extrinsic reasons for job satisfaction. Research concerning primary nursing and job satisfaction is often based on the assumption that all nurses as professionals find job satisfaction in intrinsic factors. This assumption m

摘要:

It is difficult to understand properly the characteristics and problems of current professional development activities in nursing without reference to the organizational cultural context in which nursing exists. This paper elaborates important aspects of the hidden issues, including organizational events and larger social structures that appear to be influential on the way professional development and other forms of continuing education are conducted in nursing.

摘要:

Nurses who care for psychiatric patients are often located in settings far from nursing schools and medical centres. As these often provide workshops and training in order to familiarize nurses with current concepts, not only in the field of psychiatry but in medical, surgical, maternity and paediatric fields, it is important that a mechanism be developed to ensure that nurses in distant settings receive training on these topics. This paper outlines the assessment, planning, implementation and evaluation phases on the initial ‘Psychiatric Nursing Update’ held at Logansport State Hospital during 1986–1987. The initial ‘update’ was evaluated by nurses as successful and has been

摘要:

In 1989 the Tel Aviv University Department of Nursing introduced a non‐thesis option for the master's degree. This decision was reached in order to enable students who so wished to undertake a major practice project instead of a research study, and to promote involvement in health policy development. Projects focused on health policy issues in administration, education or clinical practice. Students participated in a weekly seminar and conducted field work under the guidance of an expert practitioner/tutor. Evaluation of the project revealed greater awareness of policy issues, high satisfaction by students, faculty and tutors, increase of student admissions by 50%, and enhanced partnership between the university and nursing service/education in the communit
