Perceptions of the psychiatric nurse's role: a pilot study.

In this article, the authors report on a face-to-face survey of members of the public regarding the role of psychiatric nurses. One open-ended question was asked of 100 pedestrians in a city centre. The resulting data were analysed and then validated by a panel of senior psychiatric nurses. The researchers found a generally positive perception of the role, certainly in relation to the esteem in which nurses continue to be held, but detected that the stigma of mental illness still surrounds those who have to come in contact with mental health professionals. The researchers believe mental health nurses must be better prepared to articulate their contribution to mental health care to counteract public fear, and that the media can play an important role in this process.

Temperature-dependent surface charge modulation, membrane fluidity, and metastatic ability of L51178Y lymphoma.

The isoelectric characteristics of Y/ES (metastasizing) and Y/E (non-metastasizing) DBA/2 lymphoma, and the effects of reducing the ambient temperature on the surface charge density of the cells have been investigated. The change in the surface charge density caused by lowering the temperature is greater in the Y/ES than in the Y/E cells. It is suggested that the protrusion of membrane proteins into the aqueous phase, the consequent expression of cell surface charge, and the temperature-dependent modulation of the latter may be related to the lateral mosaicism of membrane lipids and reflect the state of membrane fluidity.

Disadvantaged women and smoking.

High rates of smoking are found among disadvantaged women, and there is a demand for cessation interventions specifically targeted to meet their needs. This project used a number of information sources to examine the factors associated with these women's smoking behaviours and the potential barriers and supports to cessation. Few of the women-centred cessation programs whose representatives were contacted were appropriate for, or available to, disadvantaged women in Canada. Interviews with 386 disadvantaged women revealed that their smoking was intimately linked with their life situation of poverty, isolation and caregiving; smoking was a mechanism for coping with the stress of their lives. Agencies outside traditional tobacco control organizations, such as women's centres, were well positioned to initiate or expand services that support smoking cessation for these women and were trusted by the women who used their services. The findings have implications for programs, research and policy.
