摘要:

The value of models of nursing to provide direction for nursing practice, education and research is becoming increasingly evident in the literature. Nursing is developing a heightened awareness of the importance of models as vehicles to professional accountability. By delineating the boundaries of nursing, they serve as a framework for the development of nursing knowledge. This paper describes the use of the Betty Neuman Systems Model in practice using a case study approach. The selection of the model for practice reflects the congruency between the practitioner's personal values and assumptions and those of the model, the major elements of which are highlighted in the first section of the paper. The second section explores the model in practice via a nursing situation in which the client is recovering at home following hospitalization and treatment for a myocardial infarction.

摘要:

This article presents an introduction to theories of nursing, and a discussion of the structure of the discipline, its relationship to the nursing curriculum, and nursing theories as curriculum content. Some results of a content analysis of curricula for Australian post‐basic clinical nursing courses are presented. Such curricula do not appear to afford much coverage of the nursing process and theories of nursin

摘要:

This study analyses data collected by the community psychiatric nursing team in the Bloomsbury Health Authority. After the 1982 National Health Service reorganization one large CPN team was created from two smaller ones each operating a separate mode of care delivery. Four CPNs were based at a day hospital and five CPNs worked from primary health care bases. Regular statistics collected by all the nurses were used to examine two hypotheses. First, there is a type of client seen by a CPN who varies according to the main base from which the nurse operates. Second, that there were differences in individual CPN ‘caseload activity’ that are determined by main work‐setting. The results indicated that the characteristics of the two client‐referral samples were indeed different using various measures of social deprivation and isolation. Substantial variations in ‘caseload activity’ between the two teams were also found, the largest difference being the number of hours spent in clinical activity, face to face with the client. Various implications of these findings for the overall planning and management of the CPN team are discussed. The overall conclusion reached is that, as Mangen&Griffith have suggested, the planning of CPN services requires the systematic collection of evaluative data on which to base futu

摘要:

Nursing research has not evolved with immunity from the qualitative–quantitative debate which has surrounded the behavioural and social sciences. The outcome of this debate should be better nursing science since researchers are forced to face and address the controversial issues. Attaining this goal requires researchers to debate the issues with a knowledge of epistemology and methodology and not blind devotion to the tradition of the hard sciences. This paper addresses the issues of epistemology, methodology, and ethics for two prototypes of the qualitative–quantitative continuum. Grounded theory explains the issues of qualitative research: the search for meaning, the inclusion of environmental factors, the depth of data, and the treatment of participants as subjects. The true experiment, the epitomy of the quantitative approach, seeks to identify existing truths by isolating the significant variables and controlling for contaminating factors. Based on these arguments, recommendations are made for nursing research which rely on both approac

摘要:

This paper outlines research priorities in general student nurse training, which include looking at curriculum content and methods of teaching/learning, and the linking of theory and practice—particularly the inclusion of research findings. The student nurse's ability and counselling needs are assessed. Finally, the need for research into the teacher's training and role is outline

摘要:

Nursing students, like their college counterparts, are beginning to revolt against hierarchical authority and to claim a more active part in their educational planning. Nurse educators can no longer assume that their students will never revolt; they must face up to the challenge of developing strategies for proper management of student unrest. The authors propose some ways to deal with the complex issue of student unrest. These suggestions are made with emphasis on faculty‐student relationship and the curriculum. Improved faculty‐student relationships, proper utilization of student peer influence and student involvement in curriculum planning are some of the strategies proposed in this pa

摘要:

The value of sound communication/interpersonal skills in nursing has been clearly demonstrated over recent years. However, precise definition of what constitutes such skills, and how these skills should be developed, remains comparatively ill‐defined. This lack of positive definition in turn presents considerable difficulties for nurse training in communication skills, where both the basic purpose and value of such training may be perceived quite differently by teachers and by student nurses. Based on a field study in Nothern Ireland, this paper not only highlights some of the existing inadequacies of current nurse training in communication skills, but also examines some of the disturbing wider educational implications of this proble

摘要:

This paper is based on a study which investigated the perceptions and expectations held by nominated nurse experts from Hong Kong, concerning the future developments of nursing education in the local context. A modified Delphi survey method was utilized to gain a consensus of opinion regarding the leadership role that the Hong Kong Polytechnic's newly established Nursing Studies Section should play. The findings suggested that the present plans proposed by the section were inadequate and in juxtaposition with the expectations held by nursing education experts working in this field. The respondents indicated that the section should take total responsibility for post‐basic nursing education, nursing research activities, curriculum development in association with the hospital schools of nursing and assisting clinical staff in the development of clinical and management practic

摘要:

A content analysis of 141 articles on breast feeding by discipline revealed differences in the factors considered necessary for breast feeding success and in the criteria used to determine success. Whereas medical articles focused on maternal factors prenatally and infant health post‐natally, or the length of time breast feeding was maintained, lay articles focused on the relationship of the mother with her infant (the nursing couple) and the mother's ability to manage breast feeding within the family context. The implications of this discrepancy for nursing practice and research are discusse
