摘要:

This study investigated whether senior nursing students about to graduate from baccalaureate programs were knowledgeable enough about diabetes mellitus to teach diabetic patients and their families. The sample consisted of 144 volunteer subjects from four colleges in a metropolitan area. A student was considered eligible to teach diabetic patients if he could answer all questions correctly on a 34-item instrument. Three additional questions dealt with extracurricular contact with diabetes: was the student diabetic? had he a diabetic in the immediate family? had he taught diabetics? None of the participants answered all questions correctly: one student scored SI correct answers. Only two questions were answered correctly by alt students. The study indicated that the graduating students were not prepared to do diabetic teaching.

摘要:

To test the hypothesis that there will be a significantly greater increase in the rate of healing of decubitus ulcers in subjects who receive topical insulin therapy than in subjects who receive other forms of therapy, a pilot study was conducted, utilizing a two-group before and after design. Decubitus ulcers of six experimental group subjects were treated with a topical application of ten units of regular insulin twice a day for five days; eight control group subjects received one of a variety of topical therapies other than insulin. Data were collected on all subjects for a 15-day period. Although generalizations cannot be based on the results of 14 subjects, data analysis showed that insulin was a safe and effective agent in the healing of small, uncomplicated decubitus ulcers. The results appear to warrant a more extensive study of the subject.

摘要:

Seven patients with neurogenic bladder dysfunction who ranged in age from 16 to 54 years, and who had been on sterile intermittent self-catheterization, were changed to clean intermittent self-catheterization. Urine was monitored for one year after changing to clean technique. Urine specimens obtained while on clean technique were bacteriologically equivalent to urine specimens examined while paints were on sterile technique; the only exception to equivalent urine results were in patients who did not catheterize themselves at frequent intervals. Renal function tests on all patients were also normal. The clean, intermittent self-catheterization technique was effective, since infection did not seem to be caused by introducing bacteria into the bladder via the urethra.

摘要:

Selected literature on conflict is discussed. Approaches to identifying and reducing conflict, diverse concepts of conflict, as well as interpretation of components of conflict, are described in terms of power-welfare, competition-cooperation, cognitive-affective, means-end, rationality-irrationality, and objectivity-subjectivity.

摘要:

An attempt was made to teach an elderly person to reacquire and maintain self-feeding skills. A single-subject ABAB reversal strategy, including assessment for generalization, was planned as experimental design. The treatment procedure consisted of a continuous, immediate reinforcement program contingent on self-feeding responses. Fast and stable control of self-feeding was obtained. A drop in feeding behavior resulted when the patient returned to base-line procedures. The patient died before the second treatment procedure could be carried out. The study found, however, that nursing home staff could facilitate healthy behavior through better use of behavioral management skills.

摘要:

Levels of dependence and independence were studied in 26 patients who had total hip or total knee replacement procedures. Four instruments—a three-situation questionnaire, Beller's Behavioral Checklist, the D-1 Scale, and the Navran Dy portion of the Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory—were administered. Tests were given at five times: prehospitalization, presurgery, postsurgery, predischarge, and postdischarge. Dependence and independence levels were found to change along the prehospital-postdischarge continuum, according to the stress of hospitalization and surgery. There was, however, no significant difference in dependence scores between the prehospitalization and postdischarge administrations of the scales.

摘要:

In a study to formulate regression equations which could be used lo predict performance on the licensing examinations of graduates of an associate degree nursing program, selected sets of National League for Nursing achievement test scores were found to be effective predictors of state board examination (SBE) scores. When test score records of graduates for the years 1969–1974 were subjected lo stepwise multiple regression analysis, prediction equations were empirically validated by correlation of predicted SBE scores with actual SBE scores obtained by graduates of the program.

摘要:

In a study of the effect of smoking on postural reflexes—specifically postural muscle tremor—in man, amplitude of postural muscle tremor, when tested in 30 subjects, was increased to a significant degree immediately following the smoking of one cigarette. Tremor amplitude continued to he significantly increased one-half hour after smoking ceased. There was no significant change in the frequency of tremor. Measurement was made using a piezo crystal accelerometer attached to the third fingers of both hands. Effects were recorded with a Sanborn Twin Visa Recorder. The findings, that smoking does affect postural reflexes, hare implications for the formulation of nursing therapies, particularly in areas such as rehabilitation nursing, where the use of postural reflexes is the primary mode of intervention.
