摘要:

Reimbursement, competition, and other significant trends in the health field have stimulated an increase in mergers among health care organizations. Mergers inevitably produce significant ramifications for clinicians. Nurses have discovered that mergers produce a greater need for efficient patient care, but not necessarily the mechanism or guidance for achieving this goal. Nursing administrators are responsible for minimizing the negative impact of a merger on nurses while simultaneously promoting merger goals. Despite this increase in mergers and the subsequent challenge to clinicians, little information is available about how to manage mergers. This article reviews the impact of the merger between the Veterans Administration Medical Center and the Kirtland Air Force Base Hospital in Albuquerque, New Mexico. A nursing perspective is used to understand what problems arise and how nursing administrators can effectively manage these problems.

摘要:

Nursing must keep pace with the technological revolution and radical new treatment modalities of patient care, many of which cause ethical dilemmas. To address the unique ethical concerns of staff nurses and managers, the authors discuss the development, implementation, and evaluation of a Nursing Bioethics Committee. The findings of a questionnaire measuring staff nurses' perceptions of the degree of difficulty and frequency of ethical problems in clinical practice are described. The benefits of the committee are presented from the perspective of staff nurses and nurse executives.

摘要:

Role stress among top level nurse executives has been linked to adverse personal effects. A study was conducted to better understand role stress and to assess the coping strategies used by top level nurse executives. The author discusses four major factors—overload, quality of care concerns, role conflict, and role ambiguity—related to role stress and ten coping strategies. Awareness of these issues can help the nurse executive to understand the job stresses inherent in the role and to use constructive methods of coping with that stress.
