摘要:

The author contends that with the acceptance of health care as a universal human right has come a variety of national, provincial, state, and local systems for providing health care. An international network of rapid communications makes peoples everywhere aware of the variety of systems and the fact that some systems other than their own show better results, as measured by, for example, the infant mortality rate, or the incidence of venereal disease. Traditional roles for doctors, nurses, health educators, social workers and others are in question.To meet the needs of the people, health educators, physicians, social workers, nurses and all other categories of health personnel must constantly evaluate their roles and be ready to modify them for the common good and modify the programmes that prepare them for their work. While the roles of doctors, nurses and others are, necessarily, in these rapidly changing times, in · a fluid state, some health workers must provide a 24‐hour service that helps human beings with their essential daily activities when they lack the strength, knowledge, or will, to carry them out unaided and to work towards the development of a healthy independence. This intimate and essential service is, in the author's opinion, the universal element in the concept of nursing.The most successful preparation of nurses will, the author argues, always include whatever gives them the broadest possible understanding of humanity and the world in which they live. It will also provide an opportunity to see expert nursing care given and to have the satisfaction of seeing the care they themselves give, hasten a person's recovery, help a person cope with a handicap, or die in peace when death is inevitab

摘要:

This paper presents a tested and useful method of research in clinical nursing at the doctoral and post‐doctoral levels of research skill. Field theory‐based, salient variables in patients' experience are inductively arrived at from empirical data. The unitizing of data provides true numbers for measurements of relationships and change in the dependent variable. Descriptive analysis and data‐based theory benefit from increased reliability.The authors argue that clinical field research permits a wide choice in designs and observational tools to fit the exigencies of the patient situation under investigation. The method is particularly useful td nurses in direct nursing care situa

摘要:

Four factors associated with authority, namely, (1) extensive knowledge of one's field, along with a good understanding of related area, (2) accountability, (3) interpersonal relationships, and (4) power, are identified and applied to the field of nursing. The author argues that nursing authority is a vital tool for individual nurses and for the nursing collective and that the capacity of nurses to influence is enormous if only they can develop the confidence to mobilize their own individual and collective potential.

摘要:

The interview has, for a long time, been the central method for the assessment of applicants for nurse training in the United Kingdom. The lack of a clear person specification, and, in particular, training in the skills involved in assessing personality, have been excused on the grounds of the universality of types required in nursing. This paper outlines some initial work that has been done on identifying a ‘personality mix or constellation’ and ways of exploring and assessing it in face‐to‐face int

摘要:

This study, conducted in three hospitals in the Western State of Nigeria, focused on Nigerian patients' perception of their nursing care needs. The basic hypothesis that‘patients determine patient care' was supported by respondents' verbalization in the interviews. Sixty‐five patients were interviewed and the findings are presented to indicate patients' perceptions of their nursing care needs, which are considered to be a contribution to the nursing proc
