摘要:

The purpose of the study described here was to examine the attitudes of nursing students toward people with disabilities 1 year after the students had participated in an educational program on caring for such people. The program provided (a) information about this care, (b) simulated experiences related to different aspects of care, and (c) contact with disabled people as well as with rehabilitation health professionals. The study also examined how students' attitudes were influenced by the students' age, the number of years they had spent in the nursing program, their degree of experience in caring for people with disabilities, and their amount of personal interaction with disabled people. The Attitudes Towards Disabled Persons (ATDP) scale was administered to 67 nursing students before they completed the workshop. The participants were tested again 1 year later, thereby providing a matched group for examining attitude changes over time. The participants' attitudes were significantly more positive at the follow‐up. At the 1‐year follow‐up, the ATDP scores of the intervention group were also compared with those of a second group of nursing students (n = 170) who had not participated in the educational program. The findings suggested that completion of the educational program was an important influence on students' development of positive attitudes toward people with disabil

摘要:

The Roy Adaptation Model has provided a framework for nursing practice, education, and research for more than 20 years. This article focuses on the model's contribution to nursing practice. Adaptation, the goal of the model, serves as an effective guide for planning care for the client with quadriplegia. A case study is used to show the effectiveness of using the nursing process within the guidelines of the Roy Adaptation Model to promote adaptation in a client with quadriplegia who is coping with living in a long‐term care facilit

摘要:

This article describes the results of a study undertaken to identify perceptions of possible social isolation among individuals who become quadriplegic as young adults. Two focus group sessions were held with 4 male participants in each group. All the young men were between the ages of 19 years and 35 years, and all had been disabled for more than 3 years. The results showed that the participants felt challenged by the environment and their resources but did not experience the feelings associated with social isolation as defined by Goffman (1963). The participants, however, identified important socially isolating stressors based on the human needs described by Maslow (1970) as existing in a hierarchy. The results of the study suggest that people with disabilities need interpersonal techniques that enable them to feel a sense of security and control of their time; rehabilitation nurses are ideally suited to assist clients in developing such techniques.

摘要:

As partners in health care, clinical and administrative nurses must share in the work, risks, and rewards inherent in nursing practice while promoting high‐quality results in a cost‐conscious and cost‐effective environment. One way to achieve these results is by developing a nontraditional rehabilitation structure and nursing practice model. This article discusses practical strategies for constructing and implementing such a model; it also identifies tangible outcomes of using the model. The healthcare environment in the 1990s demands a high level of involvement on the part of staff; the rehabilitation nursing model presented in this article meets this chal

摘要:

In this case study, the author discusses how a spinal cord injury affected the achievement of developmental goals by a 73‐year‐old man for whom the usual coping mechanisms were not effective. Nurses on a neurosurgical unit, under the guidance of a rehabilitation nurse, learned how to incorporate considerations of the psychological aspects of the injury into the patient's plan of care. Strategies to intervene with growth and developmental issues had a positive impact on the patient's rate of progress in the rehabilitation sett

摘要:

This article discusses the initiation and development of a home care rehabilitation nursing team at a large home care agency in northern Virginia. The team had its origins in the concept of the therapy nurse, which evolved into the current rehabilitation nursing role. A team of rehabilitation nurses at the agency provides in‐service programs and consultation and case management services for clients with a variety of medical diagnoses. The idea of the rehabilitation nursing team in the home care setting is a fairly new one and warrants the attention of all rehabilitation nurses who are concerned with patients' posthospital care as well as those nurses who are ready to consider moving into the home care fiel

摘要:

Pulmonary rehabilitation strives to relieve symptoms, improve functional status, and enhance quality of life for patients with pulmonary disease. This article describes the condition calledpostpolio syndromeand its associated pulmonary complications. Forty‐two percent of the respondents to a national survey on the late effects of polio were experiencing new problems related to breathing. Pulmonary rehabilitation, originally developed to address functional impairment and disability related to chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, can benefit patients with postpolio syndrome. A case study is presente
