摘要:

Computer hardware and software have revolutionized research data management. Data collection has, however, remained a time-consuming and expensive component of most research projects. This article presents a description of an innovative strategy for data collection using computer network forums on the Internet (the “information superhighway”). The success of the electronic data collection strategy is illustrated by a report of the results of a survey of the needs and coping mechanisms of cancer survivors.

摘要:

The impact of a bedside terminal system implemented in a community hospital was evaluated using a one-group before-and-after design. Contrary to predictions, the amount of time registered nurses spent in direct care and the positiveness of registered nurses' attitudes toward bedside terminal technology decreased after the implementation. Registered nurse overtime decreased in accordance with the prediction and unit medication errors remained unchanged. The internal validity of these results was threatened by organizational changes that directly and indirectly affected the study unit. Recommendations are made for conducting evaluation research in a rapidly changing hospital environment.

摘要:

Computers increasingly are being integrated into nursing education. One method of integration is through computer managed instruction (CMI). Recently, technology has become available that allows the integration of keypad questions into CMI. This brings a new type of interactivity between students and teachers into the classroom. The purpose of this study was to evaluate differences in achievement between a control group taught by traditional classroom lecture (TCL) and an experimental group taught using CMI and keypad questions. Both control and experimental groups consisted of convenience samples of junior nursing students in a baccalaureate program taking a medical/surgical nursing course. Achievement was measured by three instructor-developed multiple choice examinations. Findings demonstrated that although the experimental group demonstrated increasingly higher test scores as the semester progressed, no statistical difference was found In achievement between the two groups. One reason for this may be phenomenon of vampire video. Initially, the method of presentation overshadowed the content. As students became desensitized to the method, they were able to focus and absorb more content. This study suggests that CMI and keypads are a viable teaching option for nursing education. It Is equal to TCL In student achievement and provides a new level of interaction in the classroom setting.

摘要:

As the discipline of nursing strives to remain the logical orchestrator of case management, the ideal tool to support this effort would be based on a practice-oriented nursing theory. One such theory, Self-Care Deficit Nursing Theory, has formed a base for a computerized system that has the potential to support case management. This article briefly describes the Professional Care System and the component of the system that can support case management: Intelligent System Access to Automated Clinical Charting (ISAACC) and plans for further expansion of the system.

摘要:

Computerized Clinical Simulation Testing (CST®) is under research and development by the National Council of State Boards of Nursing for potential use as a component of the National Council Licensure Examination for Registered Nurses. This interactive software permits the realistic assessment and management of client needs through free-text entry of requests for nursing activities. Implementation of each nursing activity elicits a realistic client response. A major component of the system is a default client response database that incorporates responses for 38 different client condition categories as well as rules for their automation. This article describes and illustrates the characteristics and complexity of this database that Is designed to assist in the portrayal of realistic client situations.
