摘要:

Traumatically brain‐injured (TBI) patients compose a large portion of the population treated in rehabilitation programs. Because of the increase in the number and acuity of agitated clients on an inpatient unit at Michiana Rehabilitation Institute in South Bend, IN, the authors conducted a study to establish what techniques currently are used to manage this population. A questionnaire was sent to 60 rehabilitation facilities throughout the United States, with a 50% return rate. The use of an interdisciplinary team, primary nursing, and one‐to‐one monitoring were frequently reported staffing patterns. Orientation for one‐to‐one attendants and self‐defense education were noted as beneficial. The use of behavior modification, physical restraints, environmental modifications, and medications were nearly equally reported. Further research to identify the need for and outcome of specific management techniques is

摘要:

Alcohol and substance abuse are methods of coping with the losses experienced as a result of spinal cord injury. Applying the concept of vulnerability to this population is useful to assess those spinal cord injured individuals at risk for developing these maladaptive coping mechanisms. The concept of vulnerability also can be used in planning interventions during initial hospitalization to help these individuals avoid the development of or relapse into alcoholism and/or substance abuse.

摘要:

The majority of nurses entering the specialty of rehabilitation have little or no previous rehabilitation experience. Specific strategies are needed to assist new staff in developing skills and concepts congruent with rehabilitation nursing practice. This article describes a two‐stage orientation process that has been effective in helping new staff members make the practice transition from acute care to rehabilitation nursin

摘要:

Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a sometimes progressive neurologic disorder of young adults that can result in disability and markedly altered lifestyles. Traditionally, MS has had a negative impact on both the patient and healthcare provider, because there is no known cure and treatments are symptomatic. The Functional Model offers a new way of focusing on MS by evaluating function rather than dysfunction, and by emphasizing healthcare and self‐care activities that may help the patient move from dependency to a more independent functional status. This model provides rehabilitation personnel with a tool to design individualized interventions and encourage the patient to focus on strengths rather than weaknesse

摘要:

Attitudes toward people with disabilities are learned, emotionally toned predispositions. This study compares such attitudes held by nursing faculty, beginning nursing students, graduating nursing students, registered nurses, and people with disabilities. Results of the study indicate that persons with disabilities were significantly more positive in their attitudes. Faculty held the least positive attitude, closely followed by graduating nursing students.

摘要:

An increasing shortage of rehabilitation nurses is anticipated in the coming decade. This article describes one potential answer to the nursing shortage through a course in rehabilitation nursing for senior baccalaureate students. The unique features of the course included the use of holistic learning experiences that integrate theory and practice. Clinical experiences in critical care units, in intensive rehabilitation settings, and in a variety of outpatient facilities, as well as travels with rehabilitation nurse consultants in the field, provided students with rich perspectives on the scope of rehabilitation nursing practice. Replication of this successful course in other settings has the potential to enhance the recruitment of new graduates into the field of rehabilitation nursing.

摘要:

Direct nursing care observations were performed in a 57‐bed head trauma subacute rehabilitation center on four day shifts, three evening shifts, and three night shifts. The type of nursing care and level of personnel providing this care are described. Although nursing assistants give the majority of direct care, the RN still provides most of the psychosocial care that is crucial for these patients and their familie
