医疗护理安全与护士的职业道德

目的:探讨医疗护理安全与护士职业道德水平的关系。方法:分析目前护理不安全因素,寻找相应对策。结果:医疗护理安全大大提高,医疗纠纷发生率明显下降。结论:在医疗护理安全活动中,护理安全担当着一个重要角色。通过对护士进行职业道德教育、素质教育及法制教育等措施,提高了医疗、护理安全,减少了医疗纠纷发生。     

Enhancing Nurse Assessment of Alcohol and Drug Dependency: A Preliminary Study

The purpose of this project was to prepare nurses to provide brief interventions for clients with alcohol or other drug (AOD) dependency in order to reduce hospitalization, morbidity, and mortality. The project was a collaborative process between a major medical center and a school of nursing. Nurses were surveyed for understanding of alcohol and other drug assessment, and a day long training was provided to teach techniques of brief interventions. The short-term results included increased knowledge of nurses about AOD assessment. Long-term results indicated that 95% of patients referred to the AOD team were confirmed to have AOD problems (Dunn & Ries, 1997). This project documents the need for nurses to have more knowledge about AOD problems and brief intervention techniques.     

基层医院护理科研论文的现状和护士长工作指导

护理作为一门独立的专业，其发展应以科学研究为基础。护理科研、论文的数量和水平是评价一个地区或单位的护理整体水平的重要指标之一。笔者通过我院10年间医院工作人员科研立项、科研论文发表交流情况及护理人员论文写作的调查，对护理科研滞后的应用进行了综合分析，认为缺乏科研意识、科研潜力不足，观行制度制约，客观条件制约是重要因素。提出改变这种状态应从学科带头人入手，详细阐述了护士长对护理科研、论文工作的指导。     

临床护士锐器伤调查与预防

目的探讨护士预防锐器伤的对策。方法对某所综合性医院193名护士在2004年1月~2005年6月发生的锐器伤进行问卷调查。结果46.1%护士发生锐器伤,人均1.6次;发生锐器伤的锐器主要是注射器针头(36.7%),其次是玻璃(32.4%);护士主要在掰安瓿(29.5%)、使用后处理锐器(22.3%)、安装调整针头(15.8%)、医护配合传递锐器(10.1%)等环节容易发生锐器伤;有79.1%护士发生锐器伤时未戴手套。结论护士面临锐器伤职业危险,各方应当采取对策,预防和控制锐器伤。     

成人护理专科教育护理学基础课堂教学设计的探讨

本文以“健康与疾病”为例，介绍了成人护理专科的护理学基础课堂教学设计。主要包括学生的情况分析、授课计划的制定、教学方法的选择、课程内容的优化、教学媒体和教学案例的运用等。同时，提出了调动学生的学习积极性、学生终身学习意识教育及医德教育等问题，从而使学生既能真正获得有用知识，又尽可能地通过考试取得学历文凭。     

应激相关因素对护士生活质量作用模型的理论构建和结构方程分析

目的应用结构方程分析研究应激相关因素对护士生活质量的影响机制。方法通过随机抽样,采用生活质量综合评定问卷、压力反应问卷、生活事件量表、特质应对方式问卷、领悟社会支持量表、艾森克人格问卷对405名护士进行调查,并应用结构方程分析方法对其作用机制进行探索。结果在5个理论可行的竞争模型中获取了最佳模型(CMINDF2.344;GFI0.928;AGFI0.891;CFI0.945;RMSEA0.060),即应激相关5因素(压力反应、生活事件、社会支持、应对方式和个性特征)中除应对方式外均能直接影响生活质量,而应对方式则以其他应激相关因素为中介对生活质量产生间接影响,这5个因素均可互为中介对护士生活质量产生间接作用。结论结构方程分析方法证实应激对护士生活质量的影响是一个交叉作用系统,在干预应激对护士生活质量的影响时应综合运用直接和间接方法。     

Nurse Migration: A Canadian Case Study

Objective. To synthesize information about nurse migration in and out of Canada and analyze its role as a policy lever to address the Canadian nursing shortage.
Principal Findings. Canada is both a source and a destination country for international nurse migration with an estimated net loss of nurses. The United States is the major beneficiary of Canadian nurse emigration resulting from the reduction of full-time jobs for nurses in Canada due to health system reforms. Canada faces a significant projected shortage of nurses that is too large to be ameliorated by ethical international nurse recruitment and immigration.
Conclusions. The current and projected shortage of nurses in Canada is a product of health care cost containment policies that failed to take into account long-term consequences for nurse workforce adequacy. An aging nurse workforce, exacerbated by layoffs of younger nurses with less seniority, and increasing demand for nurses contribute to a projection of nurse shortage that is too great to be solved ethically through international nurse recruitment. National policies to increase domestic nurse production and retention are recommended in addition to international collaboration among developed countries to move toward greater national nurse workforce self sufficiency.     

Detection of abnormal lesions recorded by capsule endoscopy: A prospective study comparing endoscopist''s and nurse''s accuracy

BACKGROUND AND STUDY AIM: Capsule endoscopy is a non-invasive technique for small bowel examination but its evaluation is time consuming. The aim of this study was to assess whether, following adequate training, an endoscopy nurse is capable of picking up all significant images without reducing the diagnostic accuracy of the procedure. PATIENTS AND METHODS: Between April 2003 and December 2004, a total of 41 consecutive capsule endoscopy studies were blindly reviewed by both an endoscopy nurse and an endoscopist. The two operators had to select all significant images independently and to complete a structured questionnaire. Thirty-nine capsule endoscopy examinations (two studies discharged for premature battery failure) were evaluated. The agreement between the two operators was calculated by kappa statistics (coefficient of agreement). RESULTS: Agreement was excellent for all kind of selected lesions (mean kappa>0.85); the agreement was complete (kappa=1) for site identification, active bleeding, stenosis and negative studies. The greater disagreement (kappa=0.77) was found in cases of subtle mucosal abnormalities (i.e. reduction of villi), which were over-estimated by the nurse. CONCLUSIONS: The preview recordings made by the nurse may increase the cost/effectiveness of the study, by considerably reducing the time needed for the endoscopist to make the final report (about 5-10 min), without compromising final diagnosis.     

Reclaiming 'Big Nurse': a feminist critique of Ken Kesey's portrayal of Nurse Ratched in One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest

Reclaiming 'Big Nurse': a feminist critique of Ken Kesey's portrayal of Nurse Ratched in One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest Nurse Ratched or 'Big Nurse' in Ken Kesey's counter-culture novel One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest is one of popular culture's most arresting and memorable images of the nurse. She is, however, deemed to be remarkable primarily for her malice and authoritarianism. This paper argues that such a purely realist reading fails to fully appreciate the significance of the character of Nurse Ratched. A feminist critique of the novel contends that die importance of 'Big Nurse' is less related to how realistic/unrealistic or good/bad she is as a nurse. Nurse Ratched is important because she exemplifies all diat traditional masculinity abhors in women, and particularly in strong women in positions of power and influence. This paper explores the stereotype of 'Big Nurse' and argues that Kesey's vision of her ultimate 'conquest' is not a progressive allegory of 'individual freedom', but a reactionary misogyny which would deny women any function other than that of sexual trophy.
