What kind of nurses do patients want?

This article discusses whether certain aspects of 'New Nursing' which involve changes in nurse-patient relationships and the emphasis of the nurse's role fit with patients' preferences for their care. It reports on a study investigating these issues, and concludes that patients in general want a warm and friendly style of nursing, but a substantial minority do not agree with the use of patients' first names. Patients' evaluations of the most important nursing activities focus on listening to patients' worries, teaching them about their conditions, and relieving pain.

The pregnant adolescent prostitute.

The issue of teenage pregnancy is one of paramount concern and has been covered extensively in the professional literature. Teenage prostitution, as well, has drawn attention from medical and social science researchers. An increasing number of teenage prostitutes are becoming pregnant and delivering infants. These young women constitute a high-risk group that merits professional investigation and requires sensitive clinical approaches. We describe the pregnancy and early postpartum outcomes of 61 teenage prostitutes (age range, 13 to 18 years) in Seattle, Wash, during the period from January 1987 to February 1988. The subjects' environment, prenatal care, drug use, contraceptive practices, repeated pregnancies, and risk for sexually transmitted diseases (including acquired immunodeficiency syndrome) are discussed. Two case examples are used for illustration.

A survey of the qualifications of ophthalmology nurses.

A study was conducted to ascertain the numbers of nurses working in ophthalmology with appropriate qualifications. A questionnaire was sent to 168 ophthalmic nurse managers in the UK which revealed that a much greater proportion of nurses employed at grades I, H, G and F hold an ophthalmic qualification compared with those employed at grades E, D and C. Those nurses working at higher grades were far fewer in number, however. The results also indicated that the smaller the unit is, the less likely it is to employ nurses holding the specialist qualification. More funding and access to courses is recommended.
