An instructional technology for patient education.

A review of the literature on patient education disclosed a high degree of consistency regarding the necessary components of a patient-education program. These components fall into three broad categories: design, implementation, and evaluation. Using these components as criteria for effective patient education, a survey of hospitals was undertaken to determine how closely these criteria are adhered to. Of 200 hospitals sent the questionnaire, 120 responded. Results show that patient educators adhere to the design and implementation components with high to moderate frequency but do little with respect to the evaluation components.

Objective test construction--a must for nursing educators.

In conclusion, this presentation has reviewed the place of objective testing within the evaluation continuum. It is apparent that objective tests are appropriate for evaluating basic levels of Bloom's cognitive and affective domains. The item types of an objective test measure these different levels within each domain. It is the responsibility of the nursing educator to determine which type of test item will most efficiently measure the objectives for a particular learning experience. No matter what the purpose of the test, if the nursing educator wishes to increase validity, reliability and practicality of the test, rules of overall test and item construction should carefully be reviewed and utilized in test implementation.

Nurses' attitudes toward emotional, sexual, and physical abusers of children with disabilities.

Some studies have linked birth defects, disability, and chronic illness with an increased incidence of child abuse. Nurses who are involved with disabled children face a challenge in preventing child abuse and intervening in cases in which abuse has occurred. Nurse must become aware of the risk factors and signs of abuse, understand the role of their personal attitudes toward abuse and abusers, and develop the skills to intervene effectively and deal with abusers. Thus, the authors of this article undertook a study to ascertain nurses' attitudes about emotional, sexual, and physical abuse of children with disabilities and to determine if nurses' anticipated level of comfort differed when dealing with abusers of children with disabilities in contrast to abusers of children without disabilities.

Images and sensations of war: a common theme in the history of military nursing.

We analyzed interviews with 22 military nurses who had served in wars or conflicts since World War II, up to and including Operation Desert Storm. Using a method of hermeneutic phenomenology, we found several common themes in the interviews. In this article, we report on the theme Images and Sensations of War. Within that theme, the subcategories sights, sounds, and other sensations (climate and weather, taste, smell, and comfort) were discovered. We categorized the images and sensations as pleasant, unpleasant, and horrible. The findings from this analysis may be useful to professionals who recruit military nurses, provide ongoing military training, help military nurses return to civilian life, and treat posttraumatic stress syndrome. Furthermore, the findings could be used as a basis for future quantitative studies to determine how widespread this theme is in larger groups of military nurses.

Nursing case management: a rural practice model.

Nursing case management is a blend of individual case- and/or disease-management activities used in urban hospitals or community health settings. The authors propose that in rural communities, a third form of case management is also used. Nursing case management in the rural community has a broader and more diverse scope of practice than nurse case managers practicing in urban settings.

Case management: a case study.

This article describes the implementation of a pilot case management program at Walter Reed Army Medical Center. I, it we discuss obvious pitfalls and problems implementing case management in a large multiservice center and the steps and processes implemented to expedite and move case management forward in its early stages. The insights shared may be useful for those implementing case management in a complex medical center situation. Other models used in similar situations are also reviewed.
