摘要:

Nurse executives usually have the principal responsibility to respond to the national movement to reduce physical restraint use in hospitals. The results of this three-site, interdisciplinary, prospective incidence study (based on more than 49,000 observations collected on 18 randomly selected days) reveal new patterns in the rationale and types of restraints used. The authors discuss how the results can be used in measuring success and allocating resources for restraint reduction programs.

摘要:

To change from a crisis to a proactive mode for staffing, scheduling, resource pool utilization, information management, and unit workload, nursing leaders developed a resource management plan. Changes that assisted in achieving that goal included: revision of department scheduling guidelines, elimination of day shift central supervisor, responsibility for daily staffing moved to unit-based managers, creation of a staffing model for the nursing resource pool staff, establishment of ideal complement of positions for every unit, expectation for unit to meet its staffing model every shift, reinforced department efforts to fill vacant positions, participation in computerized databases to study the use of resources, and identified critical staffing indicators for each unit.

摘要:

Population demographics are reshaping the healthcare work force with respect to race, ethnicity, gender, national origin, sexual orientation, age, handicap, disability, and related factors as national sensitivity to various forms of diversity grows. Given the demographic trends, it is inevitable that nurse administrators will need skill in transcultural administration as they manage diversity and identify the cultural origins of conflict in the multicultural workplace. Culture influences the manner in which administrators, staff and patients perceive, identify, define and solve problems. In this article, the complex and interrelated factors that influence workplace diversity are examined.

The activities of the 2-year program are based on a model that blends research dissemination and utilization with the change process. The author's purpose is to describe a staff nurse-focused program and its successes in accomplishing these two standards of clinical nursing practice.

摘要:

Evaluation of new patient care delivery models often focuses on their impact on the role of the staff nurse and the introduction of a variety of assistive personnel. This article examines the effects of patient-centered care models on the roles of nurse and non-nurse managers. Interviews with 26 managers approximately 6 months after models have been implemented reveal a number of issues and challenges faced by the managers during and after implementation. The data provide a number of new insights not previously reported in the literature.
