摘要:

The purpose of this study was to understand (a) the feelings, thoughts and actions of parents at the time their children were diagnosed as having cerebral palsy, (b) the crisis periods in raising their children, (c) the important persons who supported the parents during the ‘acceptance’ phase; and (d) the roles of mothers and fathers in raising the children The subjects were 28 mothers and fathers who had sons or daughters with cerebral palsy The latter offspring were aged 22–29 years at the time of this study They were interviewed at their homes with a semi‐structured method retrospectively The results showed that most parents became aware of their children's disability in infancy and most of their children were diagnosed as having cerebral palsy by around 2 years of age The mothers’ reactions to the diagnosis were emotional and those of the fathers were realistic in coping with the problem Although crisis periods arose throughout the periods of growth and development of the children, the infancy period was the more critical for mothers and the toddlerhood, school‐age and adolescence periods were more critical for fathers The important support people were the spouses The mothers took care of the children while the fathers provided an income, however, some fathers withdrew from competing for achievement i

摘要:

As families maintain the primary responsibility for the care of the chronic painsufferer, this paper examines the family's aetiological role in chronic pain, the ways in which the family influences and maintains pain, and the impact that chronic pain has on the family unit Although some of the research is contentious, it can be concluded that, (a) there is a tendency for patients to come from families which include another member suffering from pain or illness, (b) that it is conceivable that spouses reinforce pain behaviours in their partners, and (c) that it is possible that the chronic pain sufferer may significantly subscribe to poor marital relationships, poor sexual adjustment and high levels of emotional distress

摘要:

This paper reports findings of research assessing the attitudes of both learner and trained nurses towards the elderly At the time of the study, all subjects were employed on wards within the care of the elderly unit of a large district general hospital Assessment of stress perceived on these wards was also made to determine its effect on learner nurses’ attitudes towards the elderly Attitudes of the learner nurses towards the elderly became slightly more negative over their training module Stress perceptions only correlated with this change to a small extent Trained staff were also found to be quite neutral in their beliefs about the elderly The study pointed to the great need for further research into this area so as to prepare the health care services to meet the increasing needs of elderly people Several implications of the research and more practical considerations are discuss

摘要:

The purpose of this paper is to present a multidisciplmary model for use with elderly families in crisis and decision making The application of systems in family assessement theory is outlined in order to understand the complexities of family assessment and decision making A schematic family assessment and decision‐making model is discussed These models identify what the problem is, the family structure and supports, and possible interventions and evaluation Ineffective processing strategies such as regression and premature closure are reviewed, and strategies for effective decision making are outlin

摘要:

The purpose of this study was to explore the relationships between social skills, self‐esteem, social support and burden in a sample of adult caregivers The Gambrill and Richey Assertion Inventory, Rosenberg's Self‐Esteem Scale, Montgomery's Objective and Subjective Burden Scale, Norbeck's Social Support Questionnaire and Sarason's Social Support Questionnaire were administered to a convenience sample of 31 caregivers Unassertive caregivers had less available social support Those caregivers who felt more discomfort in situations also had less available social support Caregivers who had significantly more affection, affirmation and aid from within their social network were found to have higher self‐esteem Those with lower self‐esteem reported losing a greater number of important relationships in the past year Nonasserhve caregivers were more likely to experience lower subjectiv

摘要:

In spite of advances in the management of diabetes mellitus, late complications still present problems Research suggests that improved metabolic control, including the change of lifestyle, which requires the patient's own willingness and ability to adapt, could limit those complications This article is intended to provide the background to a long‐term research programme designed to gain a deeper understanding of diabetic patients’ perspectives in their attempt to adapt It describes an important phase in the programme, building on the conceptual categories emerging from a group of diabetic patients in a previous study (Ternulf Nyhlinet al1987) It also uses the experiences of further groups of diabetic patients, in an attempt to show the usefulness of a cumulative approach towards the building up of a theoretical framework Some inherent methodological issues are discu

摘要:

Thirty diabetic individuals in Austria were included in this study about health locus of control and glycosylated haemoglobin in implantable insulin pump recipients Multidimensional Health Locus of Control (MHLC) scores were generally consistent with the optimal values identified for other populations with chronic conditions Little relationship was found between MHLC scores and glycosylated haemoglobin values Areas for further research are identified

摘要:

This study is a shortened report of research exploring ward sisters/charge nurses’ perceptions of their responsibilities (Throughout the study, the title ‘ward sister’ is used to refer to ward sister/charge nurse) Using semi‐structured interview technique, 10 hospital sisters from two large hospitals in the south of England were interviewed The emergent data were analysed using grounded theory method From the analysis, the substantive theory was developed that ward sisters act to gatekeep the professional function of the nurse Many previous British studies have explored the role of the ward sister, reporting the powerful influence that the ward sister exerts over her environment This study suggests that one of the reasons the ward sister is able to exert such power is because of her professional gatekeeper role The shift in emphasis from the clinical to the managerial function of ward sister could therefore have important implications for the professional nursing function Some possible implications are discussed and recommendations
