摘要:

This study explored the experiences encountered by spinal cord injured women during pregnancy. The spinal cord injured women experienced complications associated with pregnancy: recurring urinary tract infections, an increase in incontinence, and autonomic dysreflexia. (The first two of these are not unique to spinal cord injury, but are common in all pregnancies.) They neither developed pressure areas nor experienced premature deliveries, major complications predicted by the literature. All felt they were victims of inadequate environmental design that hindered their mobility and inhibited their independence. Many of the psychosocial aspects studied proved to be common to pregnant women in general and not specific to the spinal cord injured population.

摘要:

This study explored the problems of prosthesis use in four dimensions of activity in 122 males and 9 females, aged 24 to 90 years, with lower extremity amputations. Comparisons were made between persons with above‐the‐knee amputation and those with below‐the‐knee amputation. A four‐dimensional prosthetic problem inventory scale developed by the investigators was used. Results of this study provide a framework for identifying and addressing problematic areas in the use of p

摘要:

The purpose of this investigation was to determine how family roles changed after spinal cord injury of a child or spouse. Parental and spousal roles—including provider, child care and socialization, housekeeper, sexual, recreational, therapeutic, and kinship roles—were studied. Results indicated that, overall, families that experienced spinal cord injury did not significantly change in role functioning. In most instances, mothers, fathers, husbands, and wives continued to play roles that traditionally were a part of their family functioning. Spinal cord injury, however, was perceived by family members as a crisis event that lessened over time, but that for the majority of respondents continued indefinit

摘要:

This article describes a flow chart created to help nurses identify interventions other than physical restraint. The decision flow chart comprises five charts, each addressing a common area of patient behavior often cited by nurses as justification for physical restraint in the long‐term care setting: poor sitting posture, rigidity, wandering, agitation, and falls. The charts list possible reasons and causes for the behavior and give specific suggestions for interventions based on the identified caus

摘要:

As traumatically brain injured (TBI) clients emerge from coma, there may be transitory periods of agitation during which they pull at feeding tubes and intravenous catheters and thrash about, thus placing themselves at high risk of injury. During these periods, staff traditionally have resorted to restraints. But chemical restraints actually may be detrimental to cognitive recovery, and physical restraints often serve to increase agitation and foster dependence. Another approach is to modify the environment. The Emory cubicle bed, a modification of the Craig bed used at Craig Hospital in Colorado, allows for freedom of movement while blocking the client's field of vision. In reducing both tactile and visual stimulation, the bed also reduces agitation.
