Women's health care in China: American travelers' views.

Chinese health care was examined by three American nurses who visited China between 1986 and 1988. A thorough discussion of women's health care as it was presented to the authors is provided. Each author found the experience invaluable to her understanding of the world and the vast differences, as well as commonalities, between health care in the United States and health care in China.

Elements of grantsmanship: the process--the art.

Kelley and Gay give us an excellent overview of grantsmanship, noting among other things, that a good grant combines a methodical, systematic approach with creative imagination. These two linked articles will offer the beginning grant writer a good guide while providing the expert with some new perspectives to consider.

Nursing journals read and assigned most often in doctoral programs.

Five doctoral faculty members were randomly selected from each faculty group of 35 doctoral programs in nursing to identify which nursing journals they read most often and which nursing journals they assign most often to doctoral students. Five nursing journals were consistently ranked 1-4 as being read and assigned most often. These journals are: Nursing Research, Advances in Nursing Science, IMAGE: Journal of Nursing Scholarship, Research in Nursing and Health, and Western Journal of Nursing Research. Implications for editors, reviewers and research consumers are discussed.

When your manuscript is rejected.

Anyone who submits a manuscript for peer review is at high risk for experiencing rejection. Dealing with rejection is not easy. Sometimes major revisions, based on the reviewers' comments, can help salvage the manuscript. The only way to avoid rejection is to avoid submitting one's work. Even when rejections are received, one has the satisfaction of at least knowing that an effort was made; remember, some people never get that far. Persistence in trying can eventually help one to become a better writer and, thus, a contributor to the literature of nursing.

Graduate education for nursing students who have English as a second language.

Working with international students, especially those who have English as a second language, is a challenge for any educator. To date there has been little information in the nursing literature that is helpful to faculty who teach and/or mentor these students. The shared personal knowledge gained from participation in planning and providing educational options for foreign students and the empirical cognizance made possible from several years of guiding the program of studies of these students is offered as a beginning framework to other faculty. The need for research in the area is identified.

How obstetric/gynecologic nurse practitioners make practice changes: a national study.

A national study to determine how obstetric/gynecologic nurse practitioners (OGNPs) make practice change was conducted. A random sample of 1000 currently certified OGNPs was surveyed. Results indicated that continuing education meetings were primary sources of practice change information. Other important sources included discussion with physicians and other NP colleagues, as well as nursing and medical journals. The survey results indicate that continuous learning for practice change is occurring and that a variety of sources are used to assist OGNPs in keeping their practice activities current.

Diabetes self-care knowledge, behaviors, and metabolic control of older adults--the effect of a posteducational follow-up program.

Older adults with diabetes experience greater barriers to practicing self-care activities necessary for disease control than their younger counterparts. It was hypothesized that posteducational follow-up intervention would increase self-care knowledge scores, improve metabolic control, and reduce self-care behavioral deficits. Twenty-seven hospitalized elderly patients with diabetes who had completed an inpatient education program were recruited and randomized into experimental (n = 15) and control (n = 12) groups. A posttest on HbA1c and diabetes self-care knowledge (DKN) was administered to all subjects, and self-care behavioral deficits were measured. A four-week follow-up intervention via telephone contact also was administered to the experimental subjects. No significant difference was observed in DKN and HbA1c values. A significant difference was achieved in reduction of self-care behavioral deficits (P < 0.05-0.01). It was concluded that posteducational follow-up is necessary for enhancing self-care adherence and ensuring safe practice of home care for elderly patients with diabetes.
