Promoting solidarity between generations: the nurse's role.

Throughout Europe certain ageist attitudes persist, and older people are more likely than other groups to endure economic and social deprivation and discrimination. If life is tough in some circumstances for older people, how can nurses make it less so? Is the British approach to the care of older people in all its many dimensions unique to this country or are there common threads and problems prevalent throughout the community? This paper explores the work of The European Nursing Development Agency (TENDA), which suggests that attitudes to and expectations and care of older people are very similar across Europe. The author looks at the part nurses can play in alleviating discrimination against older people and looks at ways in which nurses can work in solidarity with older people.

The named-nurse initiative: what is the point?

The first two papers in this short series explored different views of the named-nurse initiative. The first, more sceptical view, questioned the value of the initiative for nurses, while the second explored the potential value for improving patient care. This paper draws the arguments together and suggests ways in which lessons may be learnt that will help nurses make sense of the named-nurse initiative.

Community nurses take on the task of selling themselves.

Nurses are increasingly called upon to promote and justify their services within a market-driven NHS. If purchasers fail to understand the complexity of nursing, a reductionist approach--involving purchasing of only minimal nursing tasks--may result. This article uses a case study approach to illustrate the considerable scope of community nursing practice. It concludes that nurses need to become bicultural, developing the ability to communicate nurturing and healing values in a way that can be understood in the increasingly commercial NHS context.

The communication gap in the ICU--a possible solution.

Presentations by nurses on ward rounds was introduced to improve multidisciplinary collaboration in the development of quality patient care. A second objective was to reduce nurses' passivity on the medical ward round and encourage them to play a more active role. Two questionnaires ascertained nurses' views, the first on implementation of presentations, and again after 6 months' active participation. Nurses were originally apprehensive about their new role, but then became aware of the positive aspects that the change brought to their working environment. The implications for medical staff were also considered.
