摘要:

More than 450 general medical and surgical patients were surveyed as part of an ongoing study of psychosocial factors in illness. Patients completed the Social Readjustment Rating Scale (Holmes and Rahe, 1967) as a measure of life stress prior to hospitalization and a hospital stress rating scale as a measure of hospital stress. Additional data included demographic variables, information about prior hospitalizations, and diagnosis, coded according to the Seriousness of Illness Rating Scale (Wyler et al., 1968). Analysis using multiple regression procedures indicated age (negatively) and life stress (positively) as predictors of hospital stress, for both medical and surgical patients. In addition, for medical patients, recency of previous hospitalization was a significant predictor of hospital stress, those with recent hospitalization reporting more stress than others. For surgical patients, those with serious illnesses reported more stress than others, and women reported more stress than men. Results revealed several preexisting correlates of hospital stress that can be easily identified at the time of hospital admission.

摘要:

To determine whether nurse perceptions of patients are influenced by a patient's socioeconomic class, 78 nurse subjects observed slides and read about a patient and then rated him on a seven-point sclae. Nurses were randomly given one of eight written descriptions in which the patient was identified as middle or lower class, with a more or a less serious and a more or a less socially acceptable illness. Results were subjected to 2 × 2 × 2 analysis of variance. Nurses were found to stereotype lower-class patients as dependent, passive, unintelligent, noncomprehending, ummotivated, lazy, forgetful, inaccurate, careless, uninformed, unsuccessful, and unreliable. Patients with less-acceptable illnesses were rated more negatively than those with more-acceptable illnesses and were perceived as sensitive, rigid, bored, and resistant to learning about their illness. Since nurses admitted they would feel embarrassed and would conceal having these less-acceptable illnesses themselves, these negative perceptions of patients may be projections of the nurses' feelings.

摘要:

When frequent hospital admissions of patients with acute congestive heart failure who also had alcoholic cardiomyopathy were observed at John Cochran Veterans Administration Hospital, St. Louis, Missouri, nursing interventions were developed in an effort not only to reduce the frequency of hospitalizations but also to improve the patient's clinical condition. Over an 18-month period, 26 patients with alcoholic cardiomyopathy were followed in a modified bedrest program in the patients' homes. The program was individualized, based on each patient's stage of cardiomyopathy. Aggressive nursing interventions reversed significantly (p < .01) the condition in 14 patients. These patients' recovery prompted a one-year follow-up with continuing close medical and nursing support. Data showed significant (p < .01) positive findings one year later:
