摘要:

AbstractThe purpose of this study was to test the effect of a theoretically based nurse‐delivered intervention on BSE behavior. A 2 × 2 prospective, randomized, factorial design yielded four groups: control, belief intervention, procedural intervention, and procedural/belief intervention. A total of 301 women were randomly selected from a target population. One year following intervention, significant differences in self‐reported proficiency, observer‐rated proficiency, and sensitivity (lump detection) were found between the Procedural and Control Group and the Procedural/Belief and Control Group. Significant increases were found on observer‐rated proficiency and sensitivity for the Procedural/Belief Group when compared to the Belief Group. In addition, a significant increase was found in the Procedural/Belief Group on nodule detection, when compared to the Procedural Group alone. © 1993 John Wiley&

摘要:

AbstractDifferences in pain intensity, surface area measurements of induration and erythema, and interstitial fluid volume when warm versus cold applications were randomly made to an intentional intravenous infiltrate of 5 mL of a designated solution were examined. Three solutions were used: 0.5 saline (154 mOsm), normal saline (308 mOsm), and 3% saline (1027 mOsm). Differences in volume were determined by magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) at three intervals postinfiltration. The sample was 18 healthy adults between 20 and 45 years. There was no difference in remaining infiltrate when 0.5 saline or normal saline were used, but a significant (p<0.001) difference was found with 3% saline. For all solutions there was a significant (p<0.001) difference in the volume of infiltrate remaining when warmth was applied and this effect held across MRI readings and solutions. Pain intensity did not differ by treatment but a significant (p<0.005) difference was found by solution, with 3% saline producing the greatest difference. Erythema was absent with all solutions. Surface induration was affected by solution and decreased over time (p= 0.001). There was no effect of warmth or cold on surface area induration. © 1993 John Wiley&Sons, Inc

摘要:

AbstractThe study purpose was to provide an in‐depth description of experiences associated with loss and dying among AIDS family caregivers. Grounded theory provided the methodological framework for data collection and analysis. In‐depth interviews were conducted with 53 family caregivers of persons with AIDS and included individuals from family of origin and family of choice. Living with loss and dying was identified as a major substantive category and was further explicated in two subcategories: facing loss and transformed time. Common strategies of caregivers included taking one day at a time, living fully in the present, and actualizing future dreams. © 1993 John Wiley&Sons,

摘要:

AbstractThe purpose of this study was to identify variables that might influence the behaviors of institutional caregivers when they interact with institutionalized, cognitively impaired elders. Independent variables included type of care situation, type of institution and nursing unit, and selected characteristics of both the caregiver and elder. The care situation was found to have a significant effect on caregiver behaviors. Caregiver characteristics of knowledge of dementia, experience in working with demented elders, and total years of education were significantly related to several caregiver behaviors. Elder characteristics of years of education, number of diagnoses, time on the nursing unit, age, self‐care ability, and extent of dementia were related to several caregiver behaviors. Caregiver behaviors did not vary by the elder's gender. © 1993 John Wiley&Sons, I

摘要:

AbstractThe purpose of this study was to investigate whether ethnicity is associated with insufficient milk supply (IMS) among breast‐feeding mothers. A major reason reported by mothers for early termination or introduction of formula and/or solids is insufficient milk. A retrospective survey was conducted among 42 black and 148 white breast‐feeding mothers participating in the WIC program in a midwestern state. The results suggested that: (1) the incidence of IMS was similar for black and white mothers; (2) controlling for education, black mothers initiated breast‐feeding later and stopped sooner; IMS mothers fed less frequently and for shorter periods; and (3) controlling for education, there were no ethnic differences in the determinants or indicators of IMS. © 1993 John Wiley&Son

摘要:

AbstractThe role of theory in qualitative research is variable and not always well understood. In this article, the uses and varied manifestations of theory at the substantive and paradigmatic levels of research, and as they pertain to different qualitative approaches, are described. Specific consideration is given to the varied sources, centrality, temporal placement, and functions of theory in qualitative research. © 1993 John Wiley&Sons, Inc

摘要:

AbstractA qualitative study typically involves a large volume of researcher‐generated data, including notes about the context of the study, methodological decisions, data analysis procedures, and self‐awareness of the researcher. Such data are important in many aspects of the study, particularly in the development of an audit trail to substantiate trustworthiness. Unfortunately, there is little information available to assist researchers in generating the needed documentation. In this article, we discuss the types of data that contribute to credible investigations. Strategies for maintaining effective records in qualitative studies are included, along with examples from our own research. © 1993 John Wiley&Sons,

摘要:

AbstractThe purpose of this article is to provide a brief review of guidelines for development of culturally appropriate measures of phenomena. The principles are illustrated by citing an example of their use in developing a survey instrument to be used with a rural Mexican American and Euro American population. Discussion focuses on practical issues of implementing the approaches suggested in the literature and adds to the literature about issues in formatting and administration of survey instruments used in cross‐cultural research. © 1993 John Wiley&Sons, I
