摘要:

AbstractA convenience sample of 30 patients with breast cancer who were initiating their first course of chemotherapy recorded in a log the side effects of treatment they were experiencing and the preventive self‐care activities they undertook. The patients recalled an average of 2.6 (14 percent) potential side effects they were at risk of developing. Their preventive self‐care activity was low; the average number of initiated behaviors was 0.9. Given that the average number of potential side effects from chemotherapy was 18.8 (mode = 18), the lack of self‐care activity is remarkable. Patients cited themselves as the most frequent source of information for their preventive self‐care actions, then physicians, and last nurses. This clearly emphasizes the need for public health nurses to become more active in facilitating outpatient self‐care activities, since scheduled contact with health care professionals occurs only once every th

摘要:

AbstractToday's high‐level technology has produced at least a twofold impact upon the current health‐illness picture. Industrial, occupational, and environmental problems form the bases for many modern diseases, and thus shift the emphasis from a pattern of infection to one of stress and chronicity. Also, biochemical technology, currently dominating the illness industry in both method of analysis and modes of intervention and allocation of resources at the expense of health, is rapidly evolving into obsolescence. The increasing complexity of the structure of disease is no longer based on direct causality, but rather on the interrelationship of economic, social, psychologic, biologic, and ecologic factors.The outcome of community assessment and analysis therefore presents an aggregate risk profile evolving from knowledge of such problems as unrelieved poverty, environmental abuse, inadequate housing, undernutrition and overnutrition, and occupational structure, and the factor of age distribution of a community. Thus risk profiles form the foundations of community health nursing diagnoses. This model is intended as a tool to assist nurses in meeting the challenge confronting us today and in the future to improve health care in collaboration with and independent of the illness indus

摘要:

AbstractThe mismatch between the American health care system and the health care needs of our older adults is well documented (Butler, 1975; Schwab, 1977). All too often, available services are oriented to acute care, fragmented, poorly coordinated, and not readily accessible. Meeting the complex health care needs of our older adults is a major challenge to our ingenuity and resourcefulness, especially in light of the fact that American health care expenditures have reached 10 percent of our gross national product. This article tells of one approach to help alleviate this problem.

摘要:

AbstractLinkages between community health nurses and voluntary health associations provide rich research opportunities. Developing and nurturing collaborative research requires a significant investment of time and effort from people with diverse interests, backgrounds, and talents. Specifically, successful collaboration requires that each participant demonstrate commitment to the project by making a contribution of time and talent. Open, honest communication and compatibility among team members is essential if research questions and methodology are to be developed and if data are to be collected, analyzed and communicated. Proper credit is important, since people who contribute to a project expect appropriate recognition.Collaborative research between community health nurses and voluntary agencies is certainly not new. Both nurses and the associations benefit since all participants can attain individual and mutually agreed upon goals.

摘要:

AbstractThis paper formulates an updated, multidimensional model of poverty and discusses nursing research and practice implications based on the model. The older, traditional cultural and structural models of poverty are compared and contrasted with special attention to the perpetuating impact of stigmatization. From analysis of the older views of poverty, an updated model is proposed that emphasizes investigation of inter‐relationships among environmental, individual/group, and mediating factors. Drawing from concepts of social learning theory, maladaptive and adaptive responses to the situational environments of the poor are explored. There is a focus on the major emotional responses to poverty such as depression, anomie, feelings of powerlessness, and low self‐efficacy. Finally, specific nursing interventions for the client as well as at higher political levels are asses
