摘要:

To test the usefulness of immediate postoperative behavior observations as predictive indicators of surgical convalescence in the hospital, the behavior of 60 general surgical patients was observed and systematically recorded as they recovered from anesthesia in the recovery room. On the surgical wards, they were interviewed every other day until their discharge about physical, social, and emotional aspects of their convalescence. Patients who gave a relatively high number of negative responses to recovery room stimuli showed less favorable postoperative adjustment than did patients with a low number of negative responses. No other measures of recovery room behavior showed a correlation with surgical convalescence at statistically significant levels. The measure of postoperative adjustment based on patient interview data correlated strongly with both medical indexes of recovery and nurse evaluation reports of patient recovery.

摘要:

Nine nurses employed in four intensive care units in two hospitals participated in a study to investigate the effects of shift rotation on the circadian electrolyte excretion of sodium and potassium in the urine. Results revealed that the shift rotation followed by these nurses did not produce a significant physiological adaptation to reversing their activity-sleep or their stress patterns. Actually, they continued to follow the same physiological activity patterns whether sleeping during daylight hours or vice versa. The literature of the field is extensively reviewed.

摘要:

A construct, “A Theory of Nursing Care of Patients Who Have Had Spinal Anesthesia with Regard to the Need for Catheterization,” illustrates how a theory for practice discipline, as proposed by Dickoff et al. (1968), may be developed through four levels In the construct, as the theory develops step by step- I) factor-isolating or naming, 2) factor-relating or situation-depicting, 3) situation-relating-a) predictive or b) promoting or inhibiting, 4) situation- producing or prescriptive — based on data collected in practice, direction is provided for the prescription of activity aimed at reaching the goal of the theory.

摘要:

Data about the activities and pressures experienced by practicing clinical nurse specialists at eight university hospitals were collected during a two-day symposium in May 1971 at the University of Wisconsin. Based on recall of past and present job experience, 122 activities and 59 pressures were identified. These were categorized into 12 activity and four pressure areas. The data revealed that during the first year following appointment, a concentration of activity appeared within a defined area of responsibility and focused on areas such as patient care and personal growth. Later the clinical nurse specialist's activities broadened to include community activities, consultation, and education. The clinical nurse specialists consistently indicated involvement in planning, setting policies and standards, and change.

摘要:

A replication in three parts of a clinical experiment testing the effect of nursing interaction on pain is reported. Three treatment groups were designed according to categories of an interaction analysis scheme, the Nurse Orientation System. Patients who complained of pain were randomly assigned to one of the three approaches, and measurements of pulse, respiration, verbal and nonverbal behavior were taken at the beginning of the interaction, at the end, and about one hour later. Findings tended to be differentiated according to nursing approach with some variation across studies. Secondary analysis of the sample characteristics and of the conduct of the three studies provided information on the differences among studies. The use of interaction analysis categories seems to contribute methodological rigor to definitions of the independent variable, nursing approach. Suggestions for future studies are made, as well as suggestions for consideration of some issues in replication.

摘要:

An instrument for testing baccalaureate nursing students' ability to make decisions and solve problems was developed for use in the experimental curriculum at the University of California at San Francisco. In 12 sections, the test followed the sequence of a patient's experience from the lime of his arrival at the emergency room through a period of time after his return to his own home. The test had two parts: in a controlled response section a set of alternative actions were listed from which the student chose a preferred action; in a free response section a problem was presented for the student to solve. Five scoring systems were developed. Results from administering the test to 1966 (control class), 1967, 1968, and 1969 (experimental classes) graduates are presented. Analysis of variance revealed that, as hypothesized, the later classes had significantly higher scores on certain criterion measures.
