摘要:

The author distinguishes two significant characteristics of a profession, ‘professional service’ and ‘sense of responsibility’, and relates these to the obligations of the professional.Ethical concepts, and the professional code of conduct, are discussed in the context of recent events and publications in the United Kingdom. They are also put into historical perspective, acknowledging the influence of over 3000 years of Greek and Christian heritage.The author concludes that the professional ethic in nursing is a way

摘要:

This paper examines the relationship between the rewards that feature in the ideology of professionalism and those that inspire nurses. A core feature of a wider thesis, which examined the congruence between the status aspirations held by nurses and the aspirations to status recognized and rewarded by nursing's professional leaders, this paper reveals both that professionalism is not all of a piece and that nurses’ expectations of work rewards are characterized by segmentation. No association was found between the expectation of the reward of professional membership and other intrinsic and extrinsic work rewards associated with professionalism. It was found that nurses, for the most part, desired intrinsic rewards for their work and that the high appeal of intrinsic rewards had not been translated into a high desirability for extrinsic rewards‐a dynamic common to many professional groups. Finally, this examination of expected work rewards reveals the segmentary nature of nursing. Not only do factors of biography, mobility, work context and dominant work orientation profoundly influence the expectation of given rewards, only very minimally are the extrinsic rewards currently promulgated as legitimate for the profession as a whole by nursing's professional leaders, reflected in the work reward expectations of this sample of nur

摘要:

The development of changes in the treatment of the welfare of children in hospital has a long history and some resistances are still to be found to unrestricted parental visiting and the introduction of play facilities. This paper surveys the contribution of social research to the care of children and argues against the uncritical adoption of‘rule of thumb’procedures. Instead, a closer cooperation between research and practice is proposed to help overcome the problems of implementing change in hospit

摘要:

This paper describes an experiment testing the effect of informing patients about barium X‐rays on their emotional reactions before and during the procedure. A self‐report scale of emotions was used to compare the level of anxiety reported by the informed patients with that of control subjects who did not receive this information.The barium meal study showed no differences in anxiety scores between informed and control subjects, most of whom reported low levels of anxiety. The enema study, however, showed significant differences in these scores. Informed patients reported less anxiety during the X‐ray than controls, who frequently reported high levels prior to and during

摘要:

Sixty‐six new patients attending a psychiatric outpatient clinic were interviewed by nurses, psychiatrists, psychologists, or medical students. Immediately after being interviewed, each patient recorded their opinions of the interviewer by giving ratings on 30 semantic differential scales. Factor analysis of the ratings suggested that patients perceived nurses as favourably as they perceived the other interviewers. Patients did, however, differentiate between interviewers in terms of their perceived age, seniority and experience. The study indicates that nurses can ‘clerk’ psychiatric outpatients effectively and that this is acceptable to the pat

摘要:

The aim of this paper is to discuss violence in a modem purpose‐built psychiatric unit, with a view to a better understanding of the associated problems of patient care and their management.The unit was built in 1965 and since then certain changes In its design have been necessary. Some modification of philosophy of care has also been introduced and these changes have benefited the majority of patients, but a plea is made for a ‘small area that is lockable’.The paper makes a valuable contribution to the current discussions into violence in psychiatric hosp
