Women living with substance abuse and HIV disease: medical care access issues.

This paper presents first-year findings from a multi-site, longitudinal study being coordinated by the Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA) in collaboration with the National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA) on access to care for drug abusers with HIV. The sample of 116 women and 187 men in five sites (Denver, Detroit, New Haven, New Orleans, and St. Louis) were interviewed regarding HIV testing history, HIV disease course, and use of health and social services. For both men and women, there were significant gaps between the medical services they reported needing and those they received. Significantly more women needed and received mental health services. Cost and waiting times emerged as the most important barriers to care. The study also found that significantly fewer women than men subjects received pre- and post-test counseling and were advised to get medical services after their first positive HIV test. Overall, first-year study results suggest that multiple barriers in access to service exist for drug-using women, the largest group of women affected by HIV in the United States.

Drugs from the peptide venoms of marine cone shells.

Australian cone shell venoms are being investigated as an exciting new source of bioactive peptides as part of a new collaborative project between the 3D Centre and AMRAD. Initial studies have already revealed a number of new and novel acting peptides amongst the hundred or so small, heavily constrained peptides present in the venom of each cone shell. The aim of the project is to develop peptidomimetic drugs based on a selection of these native peptides.

What interpersonal skills?

Interpersonal skills is a familiar term for most nurses--but what form do these skills take and can they be measured? In this article, studies are presented that allege to identify such skills, but critical review indicates that they may be a phenomenon that lies outside the realm of empirical enquiry.

Expanding the skills needed in clinical supervision.

In the first part of this article in last week's Nursing Times it was argued that effective clinical supervision required skills fundamental to all good human relationships, such as building trust, negotiation and respecting boundaries. This week we outline techniques to develop and enhance these skills.
