摘要:

With increasing evidence that life‐style is an important influence on health, three nursing faculty members at the University of Minnesota implemented a learning project to enable students to assess, plan, and evaluate their own life‐styles. The goal was to have the students attempt to make positive changes. As part of a “health concepts” nursing course, students became much more aware of social, economic, environmental, and cultural factors that either enhanced or detracted from their ability to achieve their ideal life‐styles. The students responded favorably to this assignment because of the potential benefits of investing in themselves while pursuing the rigorous program leading to a nursi

摘要:

Surely most nurses have heard her name. While in undergraduate nursing programs students dutifully study nursing leaders, trying to differentiate their theories and memorize their accomplishments. At the least, they recognize the names. But does the new generation of nurses understand the impact that one nursing leader can have on the profession? Unless one has been privileged to attend NYU, for example, I wonder if today's young nurse realizes what Martha Rogers has accomplished in her career. Does today's nurse know what her advocacy for nursing has meant to our profession? This paper addresses those issues and attempts to explain the leadership and advocacy roles that Martha Rogers has assumed in the practice of professional nursing.

摘要:

The changing climate in healthcare agencies and institutions of higher education impacts on clinical nursing research. Roles and responsibilities of nursing service organizations for the approval and conduct of nursing research in clinical agencies and those of nurses seeking guest researcher status are proposed. Problems encountered often by both in the process are analyzed. Clarification and understanding of the goals and priorities of each enables nurses in clinical settings and academically based researchers to collaborate more productively, avoid unnecessary conflict, and promote clinical nursing research.

摘要:

The ANA Committee on Ethics'sGuidelines on WithdrawingorWithholding Food and Fluid(1988) delineates those circumstances under which withholding is normally permissible. TheGuidelinesdirect nurses to respect the wishes of competent adults. What of adults who are considered incompetent? Can they make decisions to refuse food and fluids? TheGuidelinesask nurses to judge patient competence and the merit of the reasons behind the decisions. This suggests paternalism. A more appropriate role of the nurse might be to focus on helping the patient to make a decision, rather than on the merit of the decision itself.

摘要:

A relatively new and rapidly expanding technology for the production of viable offspring is in vitro fertilization (IVF) and embryo transfer. The ethical issues surrounding this technology — the status of the embryo, cryopreservation, and the selection of IVF recipients — are explored. These issues and the resulting dilemmas need to be examined by each individual nurse as the unique needs of IVF couples are a challenge to the nursing profession. Many questions arise regarding the role of the nurse in this new dimension of health c

摘要:

The nature and application of professional ethics in relation to patients’ rights is not always clearly understood by healthcare professionals. As a result, patients’ rights are not always respected or upheld in a way that they ought to be. An undersirable consequence of this has been that patients have suffered otherwise avoidable harms. The issue of professional ethics and patients’ rights is one of concern to all healthcare professionals. It is of particular concern to nurses since they are the ones who are often caught in situations involving abuses of patients’ rights. This paper briefly examines the failure of professional ethics to prevent patients’ rights’ abuses in healthcare contexts. It also makes recommendations on how the nursing profession could respond to t

摘要:

Nurses and other health professionals deal with many ethical dilemmas daily. The AIDS epidemic has generated enormous controversy affecting the care and treatment of persons with HIV infections. As the epidemic spreads, the ethical issues become more apparent. The AIDS situation highlights the precarious balance between individual rights and the public welfare, patients’ rights, and the rights of nurses and their professional obligations. Ethical questions have also been raised concerning equal rights to healthcare resources.The AIDS epidemic has caused hysteria among members of our society, including some people in the nursing profession. Implications for nursing practice and education are outlined to help nurses to make ethical rather than emotional decision

摘要:

AIDS has created many challenges for those who provide care for AIDS patients. One major challenge has been the request of many public officials for healthcare professionals to abandon the traditional view of confidentiality and to reveal AIDS patients’ names. This ethical dilemma is explored and some ethical theories are presented as possible resolutions. The conclusion presented is that healthcare professionals must recognize that the power of the healthcare system over an AIDS patient is immense. Therefore, healthcare professionals must make a commitment to protect the patient's right to privacy by preventing any unauthorized disclosure at all cost
