摘要:

The neonatal health and family situation of infants admitted for institutional care were evaluated retrospectively. Based on the criteria for admission they were classified into four groups: handicapped infants; infants of mothers with psychiatric illness or mental retardation; infants of alcoholic or drug‐addicted mothers; and infants of mothers with various social dysfunctions. Mentally disturbed and addicted mothers were to a large extent multiparae. One‐fourth of them already ad children in foster care. The mentally disturbed mothers had a raised frequency of pregnancy and delivery complications. Compared to the general population, the gestational age and birth weight were significantly lower in all groups, and the number of preterm babies was twice as high. The majority of infants at risk for parental failure due to mental disturbance or addiction can be identified in the maternity ward. Deficient maternal behaviour in the maternity ward and the occurrence of previous children in foster care are important risk factors in predicting maternal incapability for parent

摘要:

Fourteen nurse therapists completed self‐administered questionnaires ontheir assessment of and input to management of alcohol and sedative drug use among 110 anxious patients referred to them for behaviour therapy. Information on use and on case management is summarized. The therapists play an active, extended role in assessing, communicating about and in some cases advising on reduction of these substances. Policies on use in the context of behaviour therapy are formed in training, and implications for training and the need for awareness of the relevant literature are discusse

摘要:

This paper considers the issue of nursing science. Nursing, as an art, has long been accepted as integral to nursing. Nursing, as a science, however, is a more recent concept. Nursing science is viewed as a threat to the profession by its opponents, while the proponents of nursing science see it as a promise for advancement of the discipline. This paper examines the issue of nursing science by looking at its history and development, the definition of science, and five factors critical to the nursing science issue. The author concludes that nursing science is, in varying respects, both a threat and a promise. It is clear that the preponderance of evidence favours the promise nursing science holds for the profession of nursing. It is not a matter of choosing either art or science, but rather skillfully blending both for the betterment of nursing. Both art and science are necessary in nursing—neither, however, is sufficien

摘要:

This paper analyses the relationship between the theory and practice of the art of teaching as experienced by the author during a period of teaching practice in a school of nursing. It examines such concepts as ‘aims’, ‘objectives’, 'scheme of work’ and ‘lesson plans’ and sets these in the context of practical class

摘要:

This paper reviews the literature concerned with active learning methods in British nurse education. A case study is presented describing the introduction of assisted independent learning to a cohort of student nurses in a district general hospital school of nursing in England. The implications, advantages and problems associated with such curriculum innovation are discussed and some areas for further study are identified.

摘要:

The nurse‐client relationship is a mutual learning experience and a corrective emotional experience for the client. The terms ‘learning’ and ‘corrective’ imply a change in the participants’ behaviour. Because the prospect of change is threatening, the skilful nurse provides a climate for the client that is conducive to expressing feelings at every step in the course of the nurse‐client relationship. Both positive and negative feelings are appreciated; both are put into the service of the problem‐solving venture other than being allowed to impede it. To the extent that this occurs, the nurse‐client collaborative efforts further the experience of

摘要:

A primarily clinical trial has been undertaken to investigate and compare the use of mercury and digital thermometers in a ward situation. Both laboratory and clinical studies show that there is no significant difference in the average accuracy of the two types of thermometers, however there is a greater fluctuation of readings of temperature when using electronic thermometers. In clinical studies between 9 and 23% of repeated measurements using an electronic thermometer differ by 0.5°C or more whilst the corresponding range for mercury thermometers is 0‐6%. It is also shown that when making clinical measurements with mercury thermometers there is no clinical advantage in using a measurement time longer than 3 minut

摘要:

The purpose of the study was to assess the prevalence of undiagnosed bulimic or pre‐bulimic behaviours in a normal, but high risk population. A questionnaire eliciting information about eating habits and potential binge episodes, demographic background, and information about height and weight was completed by 479 college students. Subjects were designated as a non‐binger, a non‐labelled binger, or labelled binger according to their responses. Consistent with previous literature, findings showed a high prevalence of bulimia in the young, female, middle income population. Findings also revealed a group of students who described frequent binge episodes but did not consider themselves to have an eating disorder in that they did not label themselves as ‘binge eaters’ (the non‐labelled b

摘要:

Using a training programme developed by Heimlich. we have aitempled to train swallowing in a 78‐year‐old man who had been fed by a nasogastric tube for 3 years after a stroke. The training was successful and. during a follow‐up of I year, the patient was eating normal food. The training process is analysed as a two‐level communication between the patient and his trainer; the therapeutic relationship and the training programme. The development of the patient's attitudes during training is interpreted with reference to Erikson's theory of ‘eight stage
