摘要:

Ready access to research results Is essential if nurses are to keep current with the scientific knowledge available to guide practice. Sigma Theta Tau International has supported the development of a software system that facilitates ongoing storage of information from research reports and can be used to gain online access to continually updated databases of research results called “knowledgebases.” One such experimental knowledgebase, the Sleep Promotion Knowledgebase, includes studies of correlates of poor sleep In adults as well as sleep interventions and outcomes. The authors describe the creation of the Sleep Promotion Knowledgebase usingarcsBUILDER to store information about research reports and the scientific findings they contain. The use ofarcsMAPPER to examine sleep promotion interventions also is described. The strengths and limitations of the software system are identified, and the potential uses ofarcsto disseminate sleep research results are discussed.

摘要:

There are no multidisciplinary operational models to guide nursing Informaticists and clinical system users in the design and implementation of computer-supported multidisciplinary care. The patient-Cenetered Informatics Model is offered as just such a pragmatic guide. It fuses earlier work with new concepts and allows a visual deplction of crucial elements-influencing factors such as regulations and healthcare delivery models, system attributes such as healthcare delivery methods, knowledge base and supporting technology and categories of results of application processing. The model can help users and executives organize their thinking about the design, Implementation, and evaluation of clinical systems in complex settings.

摘要:

Colleges are challenged to provide students with diverse teaching-learning experiences. Educators who introduce new teaching-learning experiences must evaluate the outcomes of these experiences. Three faculty members instituted a new multimedia computer-based assignment for undergraduate nursing students enrolled in a pediatric clinical course and then evaluated their knowledge and satisfaction. Students were asked to design a computer program about peripherally inserted central catheters, and to complete tests and summaries. During two semesters, 45 students participated in the assignment. As compared to another group of students who were asked to participate in a pencil and paper Independent study assignment, these students were more satisfied with their computer assignment. Students In both groups, however, produced thought-provoking work and improved their knowledge base about central catheters. In many ways, the results support the use of a computer assignment.

摘要:

Nurses in primary healthcare (PHC) clinics carry a heavy administrative burden, much of which can be computerized. Advantages and disadvantages of computerization and issues related to patient records and other requirements of computerized systems are well documented. However, not much attention has been given to users' needs in PHC environments in developing countries. Users in township areas have very specific needs because of a lack of previous exposure to computers and a reluctance to change working habits. Some general software requirements that system developers should consider are discussed.
