摘要:

A new clinical career structure for nurses was planned, introduced, implemented and evaluated in South Australia in 1986 The new structure was based on the Royal Australian Nursing Federation (South Australian Branch) Model, and its trial took place in 11 health units, involving 5000 registered nurses, or one‐third of the nurse workforce in South Australia The findings of the evaluation research were utilized by Government The sociopolitical context within which the evaluation of the new clinical career structure was implemented is re‐examined in this p

摘要:

A descriptive exploratory design was used in this study to evaluate the effects of early parent touch on the heart rates and arterial oxygen (O2) saturation levels of 36 preterm infants The infants were between 27–33 weeks gestahonal age at birth, and were free of congenital defects Infants were videotaped during parent visits on up to three separate occasions during the first month of life Parents were encouraged to interact with their infants as they usually would, and data on the infants’ heart rates and O2saturation levels were recorded every 6 seconds on a portable computer that was interfaced with the infants’ monitors Mean O2saturation levels were significantly lower during parent touch than during baseline periods on 45% of the visits, and significantly higher during parent touch periods on 19% of the visits O2saturation variability was greater during periods of parent touch, and there were more abnormal O2saturation values during parent touch than during baseline periods Mean heart rates during parent touch were significantly lower compared to baseline on 17% of the visits, and were higher during parent touch on 43% of the visits There were no overall differences in mean heart rates between baseline, parent touch and post‐visit classifications, although heart rate variability was greater during periods of parent touch The results indicate that preterm infants’ responses to early parent touch are variable, and suggest that blanket policies that limit parent touch during the early weeks of life may not be appropriate It may be more appropriate to teach parents to modify the types and amounts of touch they provide based on the infants’ physiologic and beha

摘要:

Gay men continue to be the largest group in Canada developing AIDS They have responded to this threat on a personal and community level The purpose of this study was to explore the perceptions of gay men about AIDS, and how they responded to these perceptions Data were gathered through unstructured interviews with 34 healthy gay men, from participant observations chosen from logs that described nursing interactions with gay men who had AIDS, and fieldnotes collected during AIDS education programmes with health care workers and gay men Using constant comparative analysis, a substantive conceptual framework was developed Trusting was identified as the basic social psychological process that determined how gay men responded to AIDS AIDS was perceived by all gay men in this study to threaten their own health and their acceptance by society Variables identified behaviour, ranging from denial of personal risk to taking leadership roles in organizations to fight AIDS related to the trusting theory This theoretical explanation of gay men's responses provides direction for programmes to educate gay men about HIV‐related diseases, as well as to support those who acquire the H

摘要:

Artificial insemination by donor (AID) may be the only means by which many infertile couples are able to have a child However, the treatment is not invariably successful and it is postulated in the literature that psychological factors may be implicated when conception does not occur Further investigation is required to establish the nature of any relationship between psychological stress and conception after AID but designing an adequate study is confounded by many methodological difficulties These include issues relahng to ethics, recruitment, measurement and logistics In this paper, such aspects are examined and the importance of research in this field for nursing is highlighted

摘要:

The discipline of nursing is in a process of rapid transition In this paper, the developments are discussed that have affected nursing in its advancement to a full‐grown profession Nursing and medicine are the products of Cartesian thinking that has fragmented our perspectives on man and his living world The consequences of this scientific viewpoint are reflected in all aspects of life Attention is paid to advances in nursing practice and education, the development of nursing research and the emergence of a nursing science These aspects are discussed in the context of professionalizahon and the position of nursing in the health care system and in society The study findings of the Styles Report Project on the Regulation of Nursing (1985) serve as a framework of analysis Links are made between the recommendations given in this report and the development of primary health care, the new tomorrow of a modern discipli

摘要:

This article outlines the findings of a study which investigated the attitudes of 203 general and psychiatric student nurses from rune schools of nursing towards a defined number of teaching/learning methodologies All students were at the end of their first year or the beginning of their second year of a 3‐year first‐level training Data were collected using an instrument based on a semantic differential scale The findings, when compared against certain vanables, for example, gender, showed that there were very few significant differences in relation to the defined and tested methodologies Students generally showed themselves to be a homogeneous group and the findings indicate that students were more positively predisposed towards student‐centred teaching/learning methodo
