摘要:

The purpose of this study was to test the hypotheses that children who receive systematic psychologic preparation and continued supportive care, in contrast to those who do not, would show less upset behavior and more cooperation in the hospital and fewer post-hospital adjustment problems and that their parents would be less anxious and more satisfied with information and care received. Eighty children scheduled for minor surgery and their parents were randomly assigned to experimental and control conditions. The experimental intervention consisted of accurate information about sequences of events, sensory experiences, role expectations and appropriate responses, previews of procedures through play techniques, and supportive care given at critical points pre- and postoperatively. Significant differences between experimental and control children and parents on ratings of upset behavior, cooperation with procedures, pulse before and after painful procedures, resistance to induction, time to first voiding, posthospital adjustment, and parental anxiety and satisfaction with information and care consistently supported the hypotheses. Results were also analyzed in relation to the age and sex of the children and whether parents roomed with the children.

摘要:

Approaches to patient care evaluation (process, outcome, and process-outcome) are placed in perspective and organized into a framework which clarifies the need for working toward the goal of process-outcome evaluation. Some issues of interest to researchers and to quality control programs are discussed, and recommendations are made.

摘要:

A theoretical basis for the diagnosis of nursing problems, centered on the concepts of role insufficiency and role supplementation, is offered. Role insufficiency is anticipated and experienced by clients during role transitions with developmental, situational, and health–illness implications. The conceptual basis of nursing intervention is role supplementation, and components, strategies, and processes of role supplementation are described. Conditions that predispose clients in the health setting to undergo role transition, conditions under which aspects of role transition may become nursing problems, and the role of the nurse in dealing with clients' role transition problems are described. A predictive and prescriptive paradigm, showing the interaction of construct components, is presented.

摘要:

A five-year-old child with Down's syndrome and severe failure to thrive, given a program of individually tailored developmental nursing care, showed substantial improvement as evidenced by changes in seven of nine criteria chosen for measurement. When investigation of the child and his family suggested that the failure to thrive was the result of masked deprivation, a study was designed to measure the effect of a 17-day program of developmental nursing care on specific parameters of growth and behavior–height, weight, amount of sleep, caloric intake, active mobility, awareness of the environment, prelanguage vocalizations, self-stimulation behavior, and play activity with toys. Data on these criteria were gathered before, during, and after the nursing care program. Findings supported the assumptions that there would be an increase in height, weight, amount of sleep, active mobility, awareness of the environment, prelanguage vocalizations and a decrease in self-stimulation. Findings did not support the assumptions that there would be an increase in caloric intake and play activity with toys. The study supported the use of nursing care as the primary therapeutic modality for children with this condition and illustrated an approach to systematic evaluation of the effects of nursing care.

摘要:

Results of a five-year investigation at the University of San Francisco of the impact–as measured by the students' perceptions of their collegiate experience–of an innovative four-year curriculum, leading to a bachelors degree and professional preparation in nursing, are summarized.

摘要:

Medical data of 48 children up to six years of age who were hospitalized at a public children's hospital for battering between 1965 and 1973 were compared with a random sample of comparable data of 50 nonbattered children. The average age of the battered children was 15.5 months. No differences were found between abused and non-abused children on study questions.

摘要:

In a study to ascertain effect of direct tape access as an adjunct to learning, junior nursing students in a course in epidemiology were divided into control and experimental groups. The study extended through three quarters–fall, winter, and spring. Experimental students in the winter and spring quarters were given access to 15-minute taped summaries of each week's lecture. When midterm and final examination scores were analyzed according to study group, no statistically significant differences between control group scores and experimental group scores were computed, so that the tapes were found to have no effect on learning; however, student satisfaction with the course showed a significant increase.

摘要:

In a three-stage project, a computer program was devised to assist in the nursing process. As Stage I, a definition of nursing was developed upon which a systems model of the nursing process was constructed. In Stage II, the computer program was written to collect patient data and formulate nursing diagnoses related to functions of the skin, mucous membranes, nails, and hair. The program was designed to serve as a model for the development of a more comprehensive program that would include other functional areas, suggest patient objectives and nurse interventions, and help to evaluate nursing care. In Stage III, initial trials were conducted to obtain feedback from nurses. Nurses found the program took too long but agreed that with modification it could help them give better care.
