Proceedings of the SRBR-KBVR osteoarticular section meeting of October 18, 2003 in Antwerp--Part one. Imaging of chronic ankle pain, with a focus on soccer injuries.

Chronic ankle pain is a very common problem encountered in soccer injuries. It can be divided into three regional entities, including anterior ankle pain, deep ankle pain and posterior ankle pain. The purpose of this presentation is to present the value of each imaging technique (standard radiography, multislice CT and Magnetic Resonance imaging) in the diagnosis of chronic ankle pain.

The Iowa model: a proposed model for nursing administration.

The purpose of the Iowa Model is to serve both as a heuristic device and as a framework for articulating knowledge for nursing administration research, practice, and education. The model delineates two domains of knowledge (systems and outcomes), each with three levels (patient aggregates, the organization, and the health care system). Concepts useful for knowledge development are identified for each level. Practice, research, and curricular applications of the model are made.

Creating a resource database for nursing service administration.

In response to the current information explosion in nursing service administration (NSA), the authors felt a need to collect and organize available resources for use by their faculty and graduate students. An electronic database was developed to facilitate the use of the collected print and software resources. This article describes the creation of the NSA Resource Database from the time the need for it was realized to its completion. There is discussion regarding the criteria used for writing the database, what the database screens look like and why and what the database contains. The article also discusses the use and users of the NSA Resource Database to date.

Inductive methodology and a research team.

Large teams of researchers using inductive methodologies are relatively rare and present unique challenges to team members. A team from the University of Iowa reports on what it experienced during a project to develop a taxonomy of nursing interventions.

[Rheumatic activity and clinico-pathologic dissociation. Clinical and pathologic parameters in rheumatic heart disease].

We studied atrial appendages and valvular apparatus from patients undergoing cardiac surgery for rheumatic heart disease, looking for active histologic lesions. After reviewing 673 specimens (1980-1985) we studied two groups: 31 cases with Aschoff nodules or ill-differentiated histopathological lesions, and 31 cases, without tissular inflammatory abnormalities. In the former we found 8 cases with suspected clinical activity in a 3 months period before surgery, in the latter only 2 cases had similar findings. The Jones criteria are not useful for recognizing rheumatic activity among patients with chronic rheumatic heart disease, there is no clinical-histopathological correlations and it is possible that chronic inflammation occurs at the heart as an organ-limited condition.

Implementing the Nursing Outcomes Classification in a practice setting.

Outcomes management has received increased attention in the current health care environment, but nursing participation has been limited due to the lack of standardized data about the effects of nursing practice. The Nursing Outcomes Classification (NOC) provides a standardized language that can be used to measure the effects of nursing practice on patient outcomes. An overview of the classification and implementation methods is provided.

Dignified dying as a nursing outcome.

The goal for humanistic end-of-life care is to maintain quality of life and personal dignity. The nursing outcome called "dignified dying" is defined as maintaining personal control and comfort with the approaching end of life and lists indicators for measuring this. These criteria enable nurses to measure the effectiveness of their nursing interventions, monitor patient progress over time, and summarize research data. This article describes the development of this outcome and illustrates its use with a case study.
