摘要:

ABSTRACTIn 1982 the Maslach Burnout Inventory (MBI) was completed by 98 US educated and employed certified nurse‐midwives. The respondents represented 49% of a randomly selected sample stratified according to regions of the American College of Nurse‐Midwives. The findings revealed that the majority of the respondents reported low levels of burnout on all six MBI dimensions. However, high levels of burnout, ranging from 8.2 to 21.4% for the six MBI dimensions, were reported by the respondents. When relationships between the burnout dimensions and personal and environmental variables were examined, the findings were essentially specific to the MBI dimensions. Burnout is more likely to occur in nurse‐midwives with the following characteristics: young, have children, relatively newly employed in large services serving a high proportion of welfare clients, and often lacking physician, nurse, and consumer su

摘要:

ABSTRACTThe implementation of many hospital alternative birthing centers has been accompanied by a relaxation in the use of surgical drapes or sterile professional attire. To determine if the use or nonuse of sterile attire was accompanied by any difference in postpartum maternal or neonatal infectious morbidity, a retrospective review of records for 1 year was done in a hospital that permits variation in professional attire for spontaneous birth to women at low obstetric risk. A sample of 243 deliveries was reviewed. A comparison of the incidence of standard features of morbidity among six practitioners and three attire groups revealed no differences. Until contrary documentation is available, this supports the safety of allowing variation in attire under circumstances of low obstetric risk and minimal intervention deliveries.

摘要:

ABSTRACTPeer review is now recognized as an essential component of nurse‐midwifery practice. Over the past several years, most professional organizations have published guidelines for the establishment of peer review programs. The nurse‐midwifery service at Phoenix Memorial Hospital has had a functioning, dynamic peer review system in effect since 1980. This article describes the program and provides suggestions to others who are attempting to institute peer review activities in their own servi

摘要:

ABSTRACTThis study was performed to assess the sexual knowledge and attitudes of student nurse‐midwives (SNMs). All SNMs enrolled in nurse‐midwifery programs between November 1981 and February 1982 were surveyed. Instruments used included the Sexual Knowledge and Attitude Test and a demographic and background data questionnaire. Significant findings included generally liberal attitudes toward heterosexual relations, autoeroticism, and the rejection of common sexual myths; more conservative attitudes toward abortion were found. No significant differences in knowledge and/or attitudes were revealed when groups were compared on the basis of age, marital status, level in nurse‐midwifery programs, or length of time in nursing. Significant differences were found when comparisons were made based on religious preference, degree of urbanization, educational level, type of nurse‐midwifery program, and prior human sexuality education. The implications of these differences for nurse‐midwifery practice, education, and research are

摘要:

ABSTRACTThis article describes the process of obtaining hospital privileges and the legal and practical ways of challenging a denial of privileges to a certified nurse midwife. In general, the political and practical means have been more effective than other challenges; but in the future, threats of legal action may be more common and more effective.
