摘要:

The demand for ‘rights’ in all areas of society is overwhelming. Few consider that such rights also impose duties. This is true for both nurses and patients and if not acknowledged may result in conflict. The use of a social exchange model is considered as a pattern for this type of nurse‐patient interaction. The development of this model by social anthropologists and sociologists appears particularly relevant indicating not only the economic aspects of exchange but also its symbolic

摘要:

This paper examines the perception of moral issues in nursing as presented in the literature and in themes of meetings, discussions and study days devoted to the subject. It offers an account of moral issues perceived by nursing students and qualified nurses as being relevant to discussions of moral aspects in nursing. The second part of this paper presents a closer examination of the problems related to professional truth telling and deception as an illustration of an ‘everyday’ moral issue in nursing and in health care genera

摘要:

The current scrutinies and criticisms of organized health services are discussed as an introduction to the need for change. The care/cure dichotomy in the nurse's role is focused on and the dearth of community nursing developments noted, as are the pathology‐orientated hospital‐centred nursing education programmes. The author believes that nursing needs to go forward and develop in depth the body of nursing knowledge and technology. This will require radical reforms of nursing education organization in Europe. But the author is enthusiastic about the possibilities of developments resulting from the extension of nursing education courses in European universities and institutes of higher educat

摘要:

In 1976 the Panel of Assessors for Nurse Training published the ‘Report on the Education and Training of District Nurses SRN/RGN'. This recommends an extended form of training based on an outline curriculum. The new scheme of training will be implemented in 1981, and responsibility for developing the detailed curriculum will rest with district nurse tutors and will be undertaken at local level. One method that might be used by district nurse tutors is the ‘objectives model of curriculum design', which requires educators to (a) consider sources for the derivation of objectives; (b) identify and express objectives, preferably in behavioural terms; (c) utilize the objectives to identify skills, attitudes and learning experiences required to produce desired learning outcomes and (d) evaluate whether or not objectives have been achieved. It is generally acknowledged that this particular model, which has been tested and tried in the spheres of general and vocational education, has strengths and weaknesses. Some of these are identified in this paper and applied to the education and training of district nurses. District nurse tutors might, therefore, consider both the strengths and the weaknesses of this approach as they prepare to develop the outline curricu

摘要:

A self instructional unit (SIU) on nursing care plans was tested to demonstrate its effectiveness on the cognitive performance of three different student achievement groups. Two other text formats: Question Text Type (QTT) and Information Text Type (ITT) were utilized to demonstrate their effect on the cognitive performance of the three achievement groups. The expectation was that the SIU would successfully improve the subjects’ knowledge on nursing care plans, and that the post test scores would be related to the text types used during the study. The subjects were 48 B.Sc. (Nursing) degree students in the first year of a post‐basic nursing degree programme who were divided into high, middle and low achievement groups, according to the results of a pretest on the theory related to nursing care plans. The results showed that the SIU significantly improved the basic knowledge of subjects on nursing care plans. Furthermore, the SIU and the QTT appeared to be superior to the ITT formats. On the whole there appears to be a relationship between text type and cognitive performance whilst students try to accumulate or review informat

摘要:

A behavioural weight reduction treatment model for use with retarded adults is discussed. The model describes five stages of the treatment programme. Instructional components and techniques are reviewed. The model was designed for implementation by nurses, dieticians, and other nutritional health educators.

摘要:

The research on which this paper is based was designed to investigate nurses’ perceptions of relationships in their work. The most important issue to emerge from their descriptions of relationships was that of the nature of authority. From their own accounts; examples of which are included in this paper; it can be seen that views of authority in the hospital setting are both complex and varied. We have identified four different types of authority as seen by nurses: parental, reciprocal, political and arbitrary. Our research suggests that any analysis of authority relationships based purely on structural arrangements would be too simplistic. One possible implication of the findings we present might be that more explicit discussion of the nature of authority in nursing relationships should be encouraged both in training and subsequentl

摘要:

In this very critical evaluation of the value and effectiveness of nursing audits, the author shares information about the state of nursing in Australia, gleaned from a recent study. Some myths about nursing practice are debunked.The stark reality is discussed and analysed and a direction for the future is suggested. Although the paper relates exclusively to Australia, its contents will undoubtedly ring true in many other countries.The dichotomy between nursing education and nursing service is considered at length. As are the resulting conflicts of nursing students, clinical instructors and nurse tutors. Teachers of nursing appear to decry the need for them to be clinically involved, as a result nursing education is less meaningful.A particularly strong plea is made for adequate inservice education programmes and a more flexible and thorough approach to change, free from undue commitment to the past.

摘要:

Two dominant themes are developed in this two part paper. One is that the organizational behaviour of nurse managers has its origins in the social defence system learned during early nursing; the other is that many of the assumptions which underpin current thinking on management training can do little either to help unlearn these early behaviours or to enable managers to be more innovative in their roles. In part one management training is examined in some detail from the three perspectives of the institution, the management trainers and the nurse managers, and in particular the widely differing assumptions and expectations which each have about the management training process. The social defence system of nursing is then analysed and tentative evidence is offered to illustrate how nurse managers transfer this system to managerial positions, with dysfunctional consequences. Although primarily concerned with nurse management training, there are implications for managers and management trainers in a much wider range of institutions and professions.
