摘要:

Over an eight-week period, 176 surgical patients in a general hospital participated in a comparative study of the effect of preoperative visits by operating room nurses on effectiveness, efficiency, and safety of nursing care in the operating room; preoperative and postoperative level of anxiety; mode of emergence from anesthesia; number of analgesic agents administered in the recovery room and in the first 48 postoperative hours; number of postoperative physiological problems; and length of hospitalization. The study supported four conclusions regarding the preoperative visits by operating room nurses: 1) The visit was an efficacious means of increasing the effectiveness of nursing care in the operating and recovery rooms. 2) The visit which attempted to influence the emotional response of the patient was an ineffective approach to altering his adaptive responses during the postoperative period. 3) Patients who experienced minor surgical trauma experienced less anxiety postoperatively if they had been visited preoperalively by the operating room nurse, but other benefits of the visit were not altered by the degree of surgical trauma. 4) Benefits to the patient derived from the visit were not influenced by the age of the patient.

摘要:

This descriptive study attempted to identify factors which nursing supervisors in general hospitals describe as consistently leading to job satisfaction and dissatisfaction and to assess the validity of Herzberg's motivation-hygiene theory for this population. A semistructured interview, adapted from Herzberg, was used to collect the data. Factors most often mentioned as leading to either job satisfaction or job dissatisfaction (in descending order of frequency) were: Work Itself, Achievement, Hospital Policy and Administration, Recognition, Working Conditions, Supervision-Technical, Interpersonal Relations, Responsibility, and Possibility for Growth. Three motivators—Work Itself, Possibility for Growth, and Recognition—appeared significantly more often in stories of satisfaction; Supervision-Technical, a hygiene, was found significantly more often in dissatisfying accounts (p < .03 for all four factors). For these four factors, the validity of the motivation-hygiene theory appears to be upheld.

摘要:

The responses of 444 United States Air Force active duty female flight nurses to a questionnaire survey pertaining to physiologic/psychologic changes associated with flying duty showed significant changes (p < .05) for all items except one-blurred vision after flight. The questionnaires revealed that a larger percentage of the nurses who flew in jet aircraft exclusively (N = 102) experienced a change in the factors covered than did the nurses who flew only in propeller aircraft (N = 168). These percentages were significantly higher (at least p < .05) for changes associated with the menstrual function (frequency, flow, and dysmenorrhea), with bruising of thighs and legs, and in bowel habits, sleep patterns, and weight.

摘要:

Reactions of 65 graduate nursing students at the the University of California at San Francisco who participated in a study of small group formats were measured on the Gough Adjective Check List, Semantic Differential Rating Scale, Whalen's Group Rating Category System, and Training Group Rating Scale. The formats included: 1) the traditional leader always present group, 2) a leader alternately present group, 3) a programmed tape format with leader on call, 4) a programmed tape group with leader in attendance, 5) a marathon group with videotape feedback, and 6) a marathon group without video feedback. The marathon groups met for eight hours twice during a semester; the other groups met once a week for one and one-half hours during the semester. Differential personal and group processes operative in the various formats did not produce demonstrable variations in personality dimensions investigated. Member dissatisfaction with a particular format was limited, and such dissatisfaction was seen not to effect crucial aspects concerning the total quality of the group experience.
