摘要:

Fever is a major childhood complaint. Parents have numerous means at their disposal to assess and manage childhood fevers. Previous studies of parents of infants and preschoolers have uncovered parental fears and misconceptions surrounding fever (“fever phobia”). A study of 84 parents of otherwise well school-age children revealed that these misconceptions remain, regardless of the child's age or parental level of education. The nurse practitioner must understand both parental fears and the body-temperature dynamics of children to successfully access and manage fever in the school-age child.

摘要:

The focus of this article is on the current research, theories and management strategies related to simple nausea and vomiting in pregnancy (NVP). Research related to the physiological, psychological and cultural factors associated with the expression of NVP are reviewed. The studies which have examined the effectiveness of non-pharmacological therapies in the treatment of NVP are presented. The results of these studies indicate that more rigorous experimental studies are necessary. However, preliminary findings can serve as a basis for the development of nursing approaches to the treatment of simple nausea and vomiting. The findings of these studies suggest research questions for future study.

摘要:

This study critically analyzes the underlying values, beliefs and behaviors of 18 family nurse practitioners and physicians who identified themselves as being in a joint practice relationship. Participants in the study were interviewed separately and in pairs around issues related to their reasons for joint practice, their interactional patterns, and how these patterns could be different. Transcribed interviews and data summaries for each practice were returned to the participants for review, discussion and validation. Results of the study suggested that the language, values and behaviors of the nurses continued to support, to varying degrees, the authoritarian and dominant position of the physician. In addition, nurses tended to demonstrate distorted communication and non-meaningful interactions. The possibility for nurses to create conditions in the practice relationship oriented toward mutual understanding and effective collaboration was clearly apparent in a few of these practices. Steps essential in achieving these conditions include the following: 1) self reflection; 2) clarification of goals; 3) examination of interactional patterns; 4) analysis of the level of commitment to mutual understanding; 5) willingness to risk calling issues into question; 6) conscious commitment to maintaining this level of communication over time; and 7) facilitating the physician partner's commitment to these goals.
