摘要:

The aim of the present paper is to examine ideas of professionalization, and to explore in what way they might give directions for the development of nursing practice. An examination of the literature on professionalization in social science reveals that the existing ideas of professionalization may be divided into two paradigms, denominated naive paradigm and cynical paradigm. Both paradigms have been criticized on the grounds of being idealistic and ahistoric. A contemporary view has developed from this criticism, oriented towards the historical and social contexts of professions. The implications for nursing practice of this view brings into focus the development of nursing practice in relation to the public and the tradition of nursing. This view of professionalization contributes to a contemporary view of nursing practice, and an expanded idea of professionalization is discussed.

摘要:

Transition to parenthood involves the fine balance of family dynamics which both affect, and are affected by, the infant's temperament. The purpose of this study was to investigate changes in family dynamics over the transition to parenthood and the relationship of family dynamics to infant temperament. A sample of 99 families in Odense, Denmark, completed the Family Dynamics Measure in the third trimester of pregnancy and again when the infant was 8–9 months old. At this second time, the mothers also completed the Revised Infant Temperament Questionnaire. Overall we found small changes, although always in a negative direction, in family dynamics over this transition. The largest change was an increase in perceived role conflict reported by both mothers and fathers. Mothers reported more role conflict than fathers. Positive family dynamics were related to infant rhythmicit

摘要:

The identification of individualized patient care planning as a core element in clinical nursing training showed the need to evaluate how nursing students perceive themselves to be prepared for implementing the concept into patient care. Ninety‐five nursing students, with a mean age of 27 years, participated in this study at the end of their first theoretical block. Three questionnaires were used; 1) One questionnaire designed for the study concerning demographic data, attitudes and valuation of the theoretical education of the nursing process, 2) Rosenbaum's Self‐Control Schedule, and 3) Antonowsky's Sense of Coherence test. The results showed that the students' pre‐educational health care experience, which varied from one to twenty years, significantly (p<0.05) influenced the evaluation of their preparedness for clinical training. Attitudes towards nursing research and development of nursing care were negatively correlated (p<0.05) to their years of previous experience of health care and positively correlated to a more theoretical school background. The students' personal preparedness to develop independence varied greatly as measured by the Self‐Control Schedule and the Sense of Coherence test independently of age, work experience and earlier education. It was concluded that students might be favoured by individualized study planning as a parallel model to individualized care p

摘要:

The purpose of this study was to describe the opinions of a group of Polish nursing students in 4‐year university programmes on the aims of palliative care. A questionnaire was used to collect relevant data. Findings show that the students (n = 72) view palliative care as an area of nursing practice requiring a complex range of professional and non‐professional skills, attitudes and predispositions. Findings also indicate the critical opinion of the students about the content of academic courses offered by Polish nursing schools and departments with respect to palliative c

摘要:

In 1988, the demented in an elderly rural population (n = 851) were traced and assessed with the GBS geriatric rating scale. The aim of the study was to investigate the level of impairments of demented persons primary cared for and to relate their impairments to form of housing; to compare the distribution of care between not‐demented and demented in an elderly population, and to establish the primary caregiver/patient ratio. The majority of the demented (44/50) were cared for in the studied primary health care area, despite the scarcity of staff. All received formal care. They consumed more formal care than the not‐demented in the population. In relation to amount of elderly persons helped, the home‐help personnel ratio was 0.30, in district care the ratio was 0.02, whereas the ratio of general practitioners was 0.002, estimated from the number of contacts and

摘要:

In a previous study (Wilde et al. 1993), we developed a model of quality of care from a patient perspective using a grounded theory approach. The aim of the present study was to derive an instrument from this model. A questionnaire, Quality from Patients' Perspective (QPP), was developed which consisted of 56 items. Each item was evaluated in two ways by the respondent; assessment of perceived reality and evaluation of subjective importance (Likert scales). A personal quality of care index was computed on the basis of the relationship between these two scores. The QPP was tested on two samples, patients with infectious diseases (n = 147, mean age: 60 years) and nursing students (n = 103, mean age; 27 years). Patient's scores were factor analysed (principal factoring with oblique rotation) and 17 factors were extracted. Subgroups of patients were compared and correlations were computed between factor scores and self‐rated health and well‐being. Students also responded to a short form of the QPP (41 items) and personality scales. Correlations between these sets of variables were computed. The QPP was discussed in relation to existing sca
