摘要:

AbstractThe efficacy of a relaxation technique involving deep breathing, muscle relaxation, and imagery was tested as a nursing intervention for the promotion of comfort and pain relief in hospitalized oncology patients. The intervention was implemented in accordance with Orem’s self-care approach to nursing practice. Sixty-seven new admissions to an oncology ward were randomly assigned to receive relaxation training by audio tapes, live relaxation training by nurses, or no relaxation training. Relaxation training was conducted twice weekly over a period of three weeks. All subjects were pretested and post-tested with the McGill Pain Questionnaire and Visual Analogue Scale for pain. Analgesic medication was monitored throughout the study. Data analysis showed significant reductions in subjective pain ratings by subjects receiving relaxation training. There was also a significant reduction in non-opiate p.r.n. analgesic intake which suggested a reduced incidence of breakthrough pain.

摘要:

AbstractThe content and process of teaching health assessment coupled with the nursing process gathers momentum because it is consistent with health policy based on the principles of economic rationalism, and it covertly perpetuates positivist medical discourse while overtly postulating the emancipatory nature of adopting such practices.

摘要:

AbstractThis study explores the nature of clinical practice of eight expert nurses working in an intensive care unit. It is ontological and epistemologically grounded in Heideggerian phenomenological hermeneutics. This paper provides a description of the relevant Heideggerian concepts, in particular worldliness, understanding and care. The hermeneutic analysis revealed four themes: being busy, comforting, focusing and balancing. The paper concludes by discussing some ontological qualities, from a Heideggerian perspective, that underpin critical care nursing practice.This study contributes to the endeavour of exploring alternative ways of investigating human experience and also attempts to provide insight into the lifeworld of expert nurses working in an intensive care unit. The specific purpose of the study was to provide a phenomenological hermeneutic analysis of the aesthetics of nursing practice in an intensive care unit. Consistent with the epistemology of phenomenological hermeneutic philosophy, I have chosen to use the first person in reporting these research findings (see Webb 1992 for further discussion).

摘要:

AbstractThe nursing process provides a framework for nursing practice. Nursing literature however, highlights that both nurses and patients may experience problems associated with its use. The nursing process may not be the best method of delivering holistic nursing care.

摘要:

AbstractThe way for community nurse practitioners to promote medical childhood immunization to parents, is for them to become fully conversant with both alternative and traditional medical approaches to this issue. A brief overview of homoeopathy and its approaches to immunization is outlined highlighting the current debate for and against anti-medical and medical immunization. Arguments are put forward supporting medical immunization and the challenges this presents for nurse practitioners.
