摘要:

Little information is presently available about the professionalism of nurse practitioners (NPs). Nor do we know what degree of professionalism is actually exhibited by NPs. Nurse practitioners in this study scored moderately professional. The highest level of education attained had no relationship to degree of professionalism. With increasing age and number of years in practice, NPs expressed a greater degree of professionalism. Nurse practitioners need to continue their development of professionalism, both as individuals and as members of groups and/or organizations. Recommendations for practice, education, and research are discussed.

摘要:

To maximize the potential of a child with a developmental delay, early detection and intervention is essential (Frankenburg and Thornton, 1989). The nurse practitioner who includes a developmental screening with the child's general assessment may detect a developmental delay during a routine office visit. The purpose of this article is to provide an overview of the Denver II, a new developmental screening test.

摘要:

The prevalence of individuals with venous ulcers is estimated to be over 500,000 in the United States. Management should be based on an understanding of the pathophysiology of venous insufficiency and venous ulcers. This article presents a review of the anatomy venous system of the lower leg and the pathophysiology of venous insufficiency. In addition, a current theory of the etiology of venous ulcers, their complications, and management options are discussed. Emphasis is placed on patient education, compression therapy, and dressing choices.

摘要:

The trend toward shortened, postpartum hospitalization has greatly reduced the time available to teach child care and parenting techniques to new mothers. This study surveyed 120, low‐risk mothers during the early postpartum period to identify their concerns and learning needs. During home interviews, a card‐sort tool and questionnaire were used to gather information. Frequencies for family, mother, and infant items are listed. Participants were worried about family finances, meeting the needs of everyone at home, and being a good mother. They were also interested in learning more about their inf

摘要:

The self‐reported health‐promoting life‐style (HPL) of 130 well adults in a primary care clinical population was examined in relation to the cognitive/perceptual and sociodemographic factors hypothesized in Pender's Health Promotion Model (1987) to predict this behavior. Subjects were randomly drawn from the clients of a group nurse practitioner practice emphasizing health maintenance. Data were collected by mailed survey (response rate, 59%) with one telephone prompt. The mean age of the subjects was 39.7 years; 72.3% were female; 51.2% were married; 47.7% had college degrees; and 67.4% were white. Blacks were underrepresented in the sample compared to the practice population (= 7.56,p= .006). Using multiple regression, the definition of health, importance of health, health locus of control, age, gender, marital status, race, education, income, and rural/urban residence were studied to determine their effects on health‐promoting behavior. Results generally supported the Pender Model. Defining health eudiamonistically, that is, as exuberant well‐being (rather than adaptive, functional, or absence of disease), predicted HPL. Ranking health above other values such as achievement and harmony had no effect; chance health locus of control had a negative relationship. In the final regression model, predictors of HPL were eudiamonistic conception of health and college education (p= .0001,R2= 17). Based on this data, considerations of a clients’health conception when framing health‐promotion messages is warranted in th

摘要:

The purpose of this study was to assess the prevalence of battering in a population of adolescent females, to gain information regarding the impact of battering on their health, and to test a portion of the Campbell and Humphreys (1984) framework, which states that our patriarchal society and the resulting machismo attitudes toward women are the cause of battering. If the framework is correct, partners who batter would possess characteristics indicative of machismo. The sample for this descriptive study consisted of a convenience sample of 59 females from a shelter for displaced teens. The subjects provided information on themselves and 92 male partners via interviews. Of 59 subjects, 69% had been battered before the age of 18 and 41.5% had been battered during pregnancy. Health care problems were frequent in all the subjects, especially depression and suicidal ideation. The nonbattered and battered subjects as well as their partners were compared with respect to several demographic variables. There was a statistically significant higher rate of reported qualities of machismo among batterers when compared with nonbatterers. Recommendations include suggestions for further research.
