Online journals: access and support for evidence-based practice.

Online journals are one of the tools useful to nurses in providing patients with evidence-based nursing care. Available 24 hours a day and capable of including manuscripts of nearly unlimited size, these journals expedite dissemination of information to readers by both their electronic format and the changes that can be made to shorten the publication process. They are, however, subject to the same requirements for critique applicable to print journals, requirements that are essential in evaluation of evidence for practice.

Electronic access to military/uniformed services nursing research.

The Graduate School of Nursing of the Uniformed Services University of the Health Sciences, with the help of Cinahl Information Systems, has created a virtual electronic military/uniformed services nursing research (EMUSNR) database. This database is an integral component of the newly created specific interest category for military and uniformed services, which will tag all their documents in the Cumulative Index of Nursing and Allied Health Literature database. The virtual research database will allow easy access to military/uniformed services nursing research documents completed by students at the Graduate School of Nursing and final reports of the TriService Nursing Research Program. The EMUSNR offers electronic searching and retrieval of citations to the nursing research documents. The citations will be fully indexed, consisting of an informative abstract, unique subject headings, cited references, and other research concepts. Individuals both in and out of the military and uniformed services around the world will benefit from this new resource.

Cumulative trauma disorders: developing a framework for prevention.

1. The mechanism of a special order by a regulatory agency is an effective tool to reduce workplace CTD injuries. 2. Occupational health nurses can make a major contribution to the health of workers in their companies by developing an ergonomic program to identify the scope of the problem and by providing early identification and conservative treatment. 3. A workplace prevention program for CTD injuries consists of job analysis, recordkeeping, and corrective measures including engineering controls, administrative controls, personal protective equipment, treatment, and training components. 4. The goals of any program to control CTD are to prevent injury and disability to the employee, control costs of such injury to the employee and company, and comply with OSHA regulations.

General nursing and occupational health nursing: a comparison of scientific progress.

Education, research, theory development, and scientific knowledge development are indices that can be used to measure scientific progress. The progress of occupational health nursing science has followed the progress of general nursing science by a period of 20 years. A critical mass of doctorally prepared occupational health nurses is necessary for the scientific development of the profession. Federal funding of doctoral programs in occupational health is needed to increase these numbers. Occupational health nursing has established research priorities. Acting on these priorities will help develop scientifically based nursing practice.
