Caring for the Involuntarily Hospitalized Adolescent: The Issue of Power in the Nurse-Patient Relationship

TOPIC: The power relations between involuntarily hospitalized adolescents and their caregivers from the viewpoint of theory development in nursing and the concept of medicalization. PURPOSE: To contribute to the development of nursing theories that can guide nursing care of involuntarily hospitalized adolescents by examining the power relations between the adolescents and their caregivers. SOURCES: Published literature in medical sociology, and nursing and psychiatric ethics. Nursing and psychiatric literature, in which Michel Foucault's theories are used to explicate the disciplinary power of psychiatry. CONCLUSIONS: To empower involuntarily hospitalized adolescents nurses must both recognize the inevitable power imbalance and seek guidance from the egalitarian ideals of nursing. Nurses can draw from postmodern thinkers who dismiss the idea that one theory can explain human relationships.     

Patterns of sexual arousal of accused child molesters involved in custody disputes

Penile plethysmography was used to examine sexual preferences of individuals accused of child molestation in the course of custody conflicts. Information regarding the alleged offenders, victims, and sex offense was gathered. In comparison to accused offenders who are not engaged in custody disputes, the subjects were more often accused of sexually abusing a younger child who was a biological relative. The source of accusations was usually the mother. Additionally, the custody-dispute subjects were less likely to have a prior criminal history. Penile tumescence data suggested that the subjects involved in custody disputes were less sexually aroused by children than those subjects who were not involved in custody conflicts. However, the results revealed that in both groups a substantial number of subjects responded equally or more to the child stimuli. In sum, the alleged offenders involved in custody disputes appeared less deviant on several measures.

护士人文关怀品质与儿童重症监护室患儿家属信任度的相关性

目的:探究护士人文关怀品质与儿童重症监护室(PICU)患儿家属信任度的相关性。方法:选择医院PICU 2020年1月—2021年3月收治的200名患儿家属为研究对象,采用护士人文关怀品质测评量表、护患关系信任度量表对其实施评价,借助单因素分析、多因素分析筛选PICU患儿家属信任度的影响因素,并采用Pearson相关性分析明确护士人文关怀品质与PICU患儿家属信任度的相关性。结果:患儿家属信任度评分为(34.59±5.28)分,护士人文关怀品质评分为(114.59±11.94)分。单因素分析显示,PICU患儿家属信任度影响因素有患儿PICU入住时间、患儿治疗效果、家属文化水平、家属疾病认知水平、家属社会支持现况、家属疾病不确定感、护士工作年限、护士职称、护士学历、护士规范化培训、护理服务态度(P<0.05)。Pearson相关性分析显示,护士人文关怀品质评分与PICU患儿家属信任度评分呈正相关(r=0.853,P=0.031)。多元线性回归分析显示,PICU患儿家属信任度独立影响因素有患儿治疗效果、家属疾病认知水平、家属疾病不确定感、护士职称、护士规范化培训、护理服务态度、护士人文...

PDCA循环在输液室规范化管理中的应用

目的研究PDCA(计划—实施—检查—处理)循环管理模式在医院输液室规范化管理中的应用效果。方法分析影响输液室护理服务质量的原因,成立护理质量管理小组,提出切实可行的整改措施,并组织落实。每月科会讨论实施情况,每季小结一次,未解决的问题进入下一轮PDCA。结果比较输液室在实施PDCA循环前后,护患纠纷发生率及不良事件发生率比较,差异有高度统计学意义(P<0.01);满意度及护理部对输液室质量评分差异有统计学意义(P<0.05)。结论 PDCA循环是输液室规范化管理中的一项行之有效的管理模式。
