Time-series designs in clinical nursing research: human issues.

Prospective time-series research methods require substantially greater commitment and effort from both subjects and investigators compared to designs that involve one-time data collection. Human issues such as retention, confidentiality, burnout, and clinician-researcher role conflict have not been adequately addressed in existing literature on time-series methodology. To maintain the scientific integrity of a time-series design and minimize unnecessary costs associated with subject and staff attrition, these issues should not be overlooked.

Defining nursing assignment patterns.

A new way of defining nursing assignment patterns, consistent with current work in studies of organizations, is presented. An instrument has been devised which allows direct measurement of the assignment pattern in use on a patient unit. Although current instrumentation requires continued refinement, the instrument has been used successfully on a dozen patients units to characterize the assignment pattern and appears to be both practical and superior to more conventional methods of characterizing assignment patterns which are now in use.

The world of nursing on prime time television, 1950 to 1980.

This study reported the results of a content analysis of prime-time television portrayals of nurses and nursing over the past three decades with attention to scope of nursing practice, career orientation of nurses, nursing actions, and nurses' impact on patient welfare. The sample was 320 episodes from 28 series. The findings showed that nurses were depicted as working in acute care settings, entering nursing for altruistic reasons, predominantly acting as a resource to other health professionals, not using problem-solving and evaluation skills, deficient in administrative abilities, and remiss in providing physical comforting, engaging in expanded role activities, patient education and scholarly endeavors. Since the 1960s the trend in the quality of nurse portrayals has been downward. This has created a current crisis in communicating the world of nursing to the public via the most powerful form of mass communication, television.
