Quality of life is a very complex phenomenon in the life of cancer patients. Individual perceptions might change with the state of disease and with necessary interventions. Some definitions seem to be more useful in cancer care than others. There has been considerable controversy in the quantity versus quality debate. Some confusion in the measurement of quality of life concerns objectivity and subjectivity, referring either to the content of information or to persons other than the patient eliciting it. The relation between quality of life and quality of care has to be further explored: some dimensions of care might be of little or of potential relevance to the patient's quality of life. The dimensions of proven relevance concern psychological well-being through, for example, promotion of self-care or an enhanced perception of self-worth. These findings emphasise the importance of the concept of care, which is the essence of nursing. Contemporary professional and political difficulties require critical analysis. 相似文献

Evidence-based nursing is the concept of critically appraising the best evidence from research. It integrates research evidence with clinical expertise into decision making in nursing care for patients. The method is derived from the new paradigm in medicine--evidence-based medicine, developed as a learning method by epidemiologists at the McMaster University in Canada. This article states the necessity of this method for nursing. With the help of a clinical scenario (fall prevention in the elderly) the author explains how to use evidence-based nursing in practice. 相似文献

Emotional intelligence, a concept well known in the world of business, is quickly gain ing recognition in the healthcare arena. Described as the primal aspect of leadership, emotional intelligence refers to the ability to monitor and discriminate among emotions, and to use the information to guide thought and action. This paper will explore the theoretical and empirical basis of emotional intelligence and its linkages to leadership. Readers will be informed of the origins and theoretical perspectives regarding emotional intelligence, evidence related to the existence of emotional intelligence, benefits and limitations of the concept and implications for nursing leadership. 相似文献

The rhetoric of rupture: nursing as a practice with a history? 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
In this paper we argue that nursing is consistently presented as a practice without a history, constantly reinventing itself within new professional and technical realms. This rupture with and repudiation of a past deemed to be pejorative, coupled with a rebirth in a "preferred present," raises recurrent problems in the construction of nursing's contemporary professional identity and search for social legitimacy. Furthermore, constituting new nursing knowledge and practice as discontinuous with the past produces a sense of historical dislocation of that nursing knowledge and practice that, in turn, reproduces the need for relocation through reinvention. This phenomenon, which we term the "rhetoric of rupture," in our view, arises from nursing's frustrated attempts to gain social status and legitimacy. Paradoxically, this constant reinvention in fact hampers nurses' attempts to gain that status and legitimacy. 相似文献

Background
Swedish social policy enables ageing in place with support from home-based care services despite high age and/or declining health.Aim
This study aims to describe the daily life experiences behind the decision to apply for a nursing home placement in older adults ageing in place.Materials and Methods
A qualitative design was chosen, and 11 semi-structured interviews were conducted and analysed using inductive qualitative content analysis.Results
The participants described a feeling of dependence in which they had to ignore their personal privacy when receiving home-based care. They reached a turning point when ageing in place was, for several reasons, no longer considered an acceptable option. This influenced their choice to apply to a nursing home where they expected that they could maintain control over their lives.Discussion and Conclusion
The results indicate that when enhancing ageing in place it is important to enable older adults to receive support to maintain autonomy in daily activities and to have the opportunity to age in the right place. 相似文献17.

Language is an essential part of communication. This article focusses on the development of a professional nursing language (taxonomy). It is discussed that nurses' communication with patients is determined by verbal and nonverbal interactions. In the development of a professional nursing language, nurses will primarily rely on the verbal communication with patients, by using a patient's information that is objective and embodies observable data, that can be numerically quantified and statistically processed. This "objective" information lends itself to be systematized and classified. However, there is also the domain of nonverbal communication, the "grey" area of interaction, in which the nurse has to rely on her clinical experience when interpreting a patient's body language and symbolic interaction. This "subjective" information can be complex in its meaning and requires sophisticated professional skills in the interpretation of symbols and sounds. Nurses' clinical expertise is particularly required in this nonverbal interaction domain. Whereas physicians' prime responsibility lies in the deductive reasoning of symptoms until a medical diagnosis can be determined, nurses' prime responsibility covers the inductive reasoning of a patient's reactions to disease and illness, the observation of interaction and behaviour through which a nursing diagnosis is derived. Somewhere the medical and nursing process overlap; a physician will also pay attention to a patient's reaction to illness, whereas the nurse has to rely on her knowledge and experience of disease and impairment. It is argued that the construction of a nursing taxonomy can be no more than a means toward the goal in providing comprehensive nursing care. 相似文献
