Collecting midstream specimens of urine--the research base.

The study reported here, which is based on an undergraduate dissertation, analyses the content of medical and nursing articles published between 1956 and 1989 which consider the collection of mid-stream specimens of urine (MSSUs). Subjective or qualitative and objective or quantitative content analyses were performed. A large disparity was discovered between the results of the two methods of analysis, implying that this research base cannot be translated into recommendations for collecting MSSUs.

Self-medication for elderly patients.

This paper describes the introduction of a self-medication programme for elderly in-patients using action research. The programme was initiated by a steering group which met regularly to implement and monitor self-medication. Ward staff were interviewed to assess their learning needs before the start, meetings were held as the project advanced, and a final staff evaluation questionnaire was administered. Patients' opinions were also monitored. Self-medication was successfully introduced and minor problems were rapidly solved by participating staff. Patients were highly satisfied with the new independence and self-esteem they had gained through taking their own medications. Nurses shared these feelings, but also felt that self-medication was more time consuming than previous drug rounds. Suggestions for further research and development are given.
