摘要:

AbstractIn recognition of the increasing problem of family violence, the authors developed and tested an interview protocol focused on female victims of family violence. The purpose of the protocol was to increase nurses' identification of battered women receiving care in the emergency department. Using a time‐series design, data were collected from patient records during four months prior to introduction of the protocol. These data were compared to comparable post‐protocol data. There was a significant increase in nursing staff identification of female domestic violence victims following introduction of the proto

摘要:

AbstractIssues related to the fit between clients and providers were investigated using data on 244 women who received prenatal care at one of two health care facilities that offered both nurse‐midwifery and obstetrician services. Characteristics of the women who received each type of care, as well as their perceptions of their health provider, were explored. No significant demographic differences were found between the nurse‐midwifery (CNM) and obstetrician (OB) client groups. The CNM clients scored higher on internal locus of control and the OB clients scored higher on chance and powerful others locus of control. For five of six behaviors (prenatal care, diet, exercise, and abstaining from caffeine and alcohol), the CNM clients consistently viewed their providers as holding significantly stronger attitudes about the behavior and as being significantly more supportive of their engaging in them than did the OB clients. Findings from this study provide evidence in support of offering women alternatives in maternity c

摘要:

AbstractA causal model of nurses' job satisfaction was tested using longitudinal analysis of 13 causal determinants and five correlates measured at Time 1, and job satisfaction measured at Time 2. Data were collected from 370 registered nurses at five hospitals using questionnaires mailed eight months apart. Four different models were analyzed using the LISREL maximum likelihood procedure to estimate the path coefficients. Variables reaching statistically significant levels included, in order of importance, routinization, promotional opportunity, distributive justice, age, day shift, workload, kinship responsibility, and opportunity for jobs outside the employing hospital. With the prior level of job satisfaction controlled, only the effects of day shift remained significant.

摘要:

AbstractThis study was conducted to determine the effect of the birth chair on fetal outcome in primigravid subjects with a normal pregnancy and labor. A quasi‐experimental design was used to compare 33 birth‐chair deliveries with 22 delivery‐table deliveries. No difference between groups was found in the mean pH and pO2of arterial and venous cord blood samples. The mean arterial pCO2was lower in the chair group (49.25 and 44.50,p= 0.023), but there was no difference in venous pCO2. In the chair group, the mean vein pO2was higher when the angle of the chair was more than 45° upright (22.3 and 28.4,p= 0.007). Means for chair and table groups were similar for maternal hemoglobin, breathholding while pushing, duration of second stage, time of first cry, time of cord clamping, and Apgar scores. Incidence of cord around the neck was identical. The mean one‐minute Apgar scores were significantly higher when chair or table was more than 30° upright (8.0 and 8.59,p= 0.037). Results suggest that the birth chair is a safe alternative to the delivery table in terms of fetal outcome. The findings of lower arterial pCO2with unchanged pO2and pH in the chair group, support earlier findings of less transient cord compression in upright

摘要:

AbstractIn an evaluation experiment, 80 registered nurses (64% of whom had cared for at least one rape victim) read an account of a rape involving a woman who drove to a drugstore on her way home from work. By random assignment, the nurses read one of four versions of the rape which varied in terms of whether or not the victim locked her car door (carelessness manipulation) and time of attack (5:00 p.m. or midnight). Subjects evaluated the victim on a series of 0 to 9 bipolar adjective scales. MANOVA showed a significant main effect for the locked/unlocked conditions: Nurses who read the unlocked version, as compared to those reading the locked version, showed differences in terms of more negative ratings of the victim on such variables as less liking for her, less identification with her, and assigning greater responsibility for the rape to her (p≤ 0.005). Time of attack and the interaction were not significan

摘要:

AbstractThis research concerns the relationship of subjective stress, job satisfaction, and job performance in hospital nurses. Obtained were self reports from 366 nurses, and performance ratings from 165 supervisors and 139 co‐workers nominated by the original respondents. Reported are the results of exploratory path analyses, based on a general model, whereby standardized beta coefficients were used to estimate paths. The findings are that stress and job satisfaction are not directly related, and that stress, primarily acting through depression, is associated with lower levels of job performance. Job satisfaction is unrelated to job performance, and is based on depression and hostility which are affected by stress and personal characteristic

摘要:

AbstractExamination was made of the relationship of mothers' appraisal of the importance of and need for action around infant‐related issues to maternal experience (parity and time since birth), use of help, and perceived problem‐solving competence. Sixty‐two mothers (38 primiparae and 24 multiparae) kept for 90 days post‐birth a daily log of issues, rated for importance and for need for action, and of help used. Mothers also reported perceived problem‐solving competence on an 11‐item scale. Findings indicated tentativeness in ratings of importance and action. Ratings of importance were associated with action ratings, except for temperament issues. Action ratings for baby care and illness issues decreased significantly with time. Otherwise, maternal experience had no effect on ratings. More of the variance in perceived competence than use of help was explained by action and importa

摘要:

AbstractThis research synthesis was undertaken to study the effects of treatment on the mental health of elderly people. Forty‐one controlled studies were analyzed using meta‐analytic techniques. Type of treatment along with subject, therapist, setting, and methodological characteristics of the studies were identified and their contributions to mental health outcomes measured. Results indicated that the mean outcome of the experimental group, treated with any type of treatment improved from the fiftieth percentile to the seventieth percentile relative to the mean of the untreated control groups. This research synthesis supports the belief that, in general, treatment is effective in enhancing the mental health of the elde
