摘要:

&NA;This article describes the utilization of nursing research findings in a coronary care setting. A standardized nursing care plan, based on Hampe's eight research‐identified needs of grieving spouses, was developed by staff nurses in an intensive care unit. The 13 spouses of acutely ill coronary patients who had received specific nursing interventions reported more of their needs were met by nurses than did 13 spouses on whom base‐line data were collected prior to the adoption of systematic nursing interventions.

摘要:

&NA;This study evaluated the impact of a one‐month management concept course on 80 senior baccalaureate nursing students. Findings revealed that leadership values held by nursing students did not affect their leadership behaviors. Nursing students who took the course demonstrated significantly more leadership behaviors and knowledge of leadership concepts than students who did not take the course. Reasons for the findings are discussed.

摘要:

&NA;This investigation was undertaken to study the effects of cutaneous burn on the integrity of the gastric mucosal barrier (GMB). H+back diffusion and peptic activity of gastric aspirate were determined in burned and shamburned rats. Twenty‐four hours after a 30 percent body surface contact burn (Brevital® anesthesia) and a 48‐hour fast with saline and ten percent dextrose ad libitim gastric secretions were collected for two hours following pyloric ligation under urethan anesthesia. Studied were: basal secretion, histamine stimulation, glycine instillation, saline instillation, and a combined glycine instillation with histamine augmentation. Significant reductions in acid secretion occurred in burned rats unless the secretion was stimulated by histamine and/or glycine. Following stimulation, acid values in the burned rats exceeded those of unburned rats. GMB disruption, as determined by glycine trapping, was not an apparent pathogenetic mechanism of gastric erosion in 24‐hour postburn rats. Peptic activity was elevated in burned rats with mucosal erosion, suggesting a contributory role for this proteolytic enzyme.

摘要:

&NA;A study of attitudes toward dying patients of 1,061 Minnesota nurses who practiced in the metropolitan area (210 nurses) and outside the metropolitan area (851 nurses) revealed that they supported home care for dying children. They reported they would be willing to care for the dying adult or child in the home, but would feel more comfortable if they had added specialized preparation.

摘要:

&NA;Of 182 students who successfully completed an eight‐week program for high school graduates with marginal credentials and who were admitted to schools of nursing, 125 (69 percent) subsequently received degrees or certificates. This success rate compares favorably with national and regional norms. This study documents the marginality of the students' credentials and evaluates their success rates. Of 11 academic variables correlated with successful completion of nursing programs, the two subjective evaluations of each student by the academic personnel teaching the eight‐week program were the only variables to reach significance (p = .01).

摘要:

&NA;History‐taking, disposition, and telephone communication skills of pediatric nurse practitioners, pediatric house officers, and practicing pediatricians were assessed and compared. To evaluate the management of five common acute pediatric problems, a “programmed mother” made 148 unidentified calls to these health professionals during evening hours. The calls were tape recorded, and scored for history‐taking, disposition, and interviewing skills. The scoring system, developed by a panel of 11 experts, assessed the relevance and completeness of each history obtained. Nurse practitioners averaged 79.6 percent of the total possible score, as compared to 52.6 percent for pediatricians (p<.001). When disposition was similarly analyzed, the nurse practitioners scored significantly higher than pediatricians. Analyzing only those items of history‐taking and disposition deemed most critical by the panel, nurse practitioners included 91 percent and pediatricians only 55 percent (p<.001). Parameters of interviewing skill were scored by the interviewer and each author with agreement of 80 percent or above; nurse practitioners obtained significantly higher scores than pediatricians (p<.001). Calls handled by nurses averaged 7.4 minutes, those by pediatricians 3.2 minutes (p<.001). Nurse Practitioners, it was concluded, can safely and effectively share responsibility with physicians for night and weekend telephone call coverage for a pediatric practice with adequate physician back up.

摘要:

&NA;A sample of 144 senior nursing students from four baccalaureate schools in the New York metropolitan area was used to study the relationship between self‐actualization and the baccalaureate nursing student's response to stress. Levels of self‐actualization and state and trait anxiety were measured at a time defined as low in stress; state and trait anxiety were measured again at two high‐stress times. Instruments used for the study were Shostrom's Personal Orientation Inventory and the Spielberger et al. State‐Trait Anxiety Inventory. The three phypotheses were supported by significant results (p <.05), confirming the prediction that level of self‐actualization is a factor in the differential perception of evaluative events as stressful. Findings are considered applicable to the revision of recruitment and selection procedures and to incorporating in baccalaureate nursing curriculums measures more likely to produce graduates who can sustain the personal values prerequisite to a professional level of nursing practice.
