The emerging role of the nurse teacher in Project 2000 programmes in England: a literature review.

This paper explores the literature on the role of the nurse teacher in the United Kingdom, in order to support a research study on the role of the nurse teacher as it emerges in Project 2000 programmes in England. Explicit within the reform of nurse education is a change in the role of the teacher. It is being influenced, first, by the creation of colleges of nursing and midwifery and their links to higher education, secondly, by the content and academic level of the course and, thirdly, by the supernumerary status of the student. Studies carried out on the activities nurse teachers undertake highlight the complex and multifaceted nature of the role. Excessive paper work, meetings and lack of autonomy are given as dissatisfying aspects of their work leaving only a small proportion of their time for classroom and clinical teaching. The literature suggests that the nurse teacher is required in Project 2000 to be a nurse, a teacher, a graduate in a specialist subject and clinically and academically credible. The study, which is mentioned briefly in this paper, will critically analyse the key components of the role of the nurse teacher as it emerges in the Project 2000 courses in England. The methodology and findings will be discussed in a later paper.

Generating research in mental health nursing.

This paper explores a number of areas for research development in mental health nursing in the United Kingdom. Several potential areas are identified: historical research, policy related research, the role of mental health nurse as a provider of a therapeutic milieu, as therapist and as teacher. Academic centres are identified in mental health nursing research and a plea is made for the preservation of valuable archive data being lost as mental hospitals are closed. Nurse leaders in mental health nursing are encouraged to make particular provision for research activity.

Preventing school vandalism and improving discipline: a three-year study.

Vandalism is a major problem facing educators and taxpayers alike. The present investigation analyzed how vandalism costs and student disruption were related to the implementation of a training and consultation package designed to increase the reinforcing ambience of the school. A positive environment, it was posited, would displace previous events that may have set the occasion for vandalism, with cues to promote productive school performance. Eighteen elementary and junior high schools were involved over a 3-year period. Using a delayed treatment control design, treatment was delivered following either 4 or 13 months of baseline. During treatment, teams of school personnel attended training workshops in behavioral strategies for reducing vandalism and disruption by students in school. Each team also met regularly on its campus to plan and implement programs on a schoolwide basis. To demonstrate that reinforcing procedures were actually implemented and accompanied by change in student performance, these variables were periodically probed throughout the study. Project staff also provided consultation. Vandalism costs decreased significantly (p less than .05) more in treatment than control schools, with an average reduction of 78.5% for all project schools. Rates of praise delivered by project teachers and other randomly selected teachers in the school increased significantly (p less than .05), and rates of off-task behavior by students decreased significantly (p less than .05) following treatment. The staff development model used in this study appeared to be both feasible and economical.

Leukonychia partialis. A phase of leukonychia totalis.

Accumulated evidence indicates that leukonychia striata and leukonychia totalis are distinct entities transmitted by automonal dominant gene. Much less secure is the status of leukonychia partialis in which the nail is white proximally and pink near its free edge. Leukonychia totalis and leukonychia partialis have occurred in different members of the same family and on different digits of an individual simultaneously, and either has presented as the clinical manifestation in an individual at different times. The two conditions are probably expressions of the same genetic defect. Historically, the term leukonychia totalis has priority over leukonychia partialis and the former form should be used, with the latter considered a variation of it.

Ethical dilemmas in clinical supervision. 1: Need for guidelines.

In this article, the first of two parts, the authors focus on ethical dilemmas in clinical supervision. Given that there may be several factors that contribute to the limited uptake of clinical supervision, the authors suggest that one reason might be the clinician's concern and confusion regarding the potential ethical dilemmas that could arise when providing clinical supervision. Most issues do not produce ethical dilemmas, but some do. Therefore, this article offers a brief description of the purpose and alleged benefits of supervision, and examines the current position of the law in regard to ethical dilemmas within supervision. It then provides six vignettes where supervisors are faced with ethical dilemmas. These will be discussed in the second part of this article.

Ethical dilemmas in clinical supervision. 2: Need for guidelines.

In this, the second half of this two-part article, the authors focus on ethical dilemmas in clinical supervision. Referring to the case vignettes included in the first part of this article (Vol 7(15): 920-3), the authors highlight how ethical dilemmas can arise and then provide some discussion on how they might be handled. As a result of the discussion, the authors conclude that there is a clear need for a specific set of guidelines to be produced that would help safeguard best practice within clinical supervision and ensure it remains an opportunity to help and support nurses in reflecting on their dilemmas, difficulties and successes (Cutcliffe and Proctor, 1998a). This would prevent supervision from becoming another form of management monitoring which might inadvertently prevent the resolution of intra- and interpersonal issues affecting the care of clients.

Meeting the challenge of a new Europe.

Tony Butterworth gives an overview of the collaborative work which awaits nursing as Europe removes its boundaries and becomes a federation of associated interests. He also addresses the work of the World Health Organization, the International Council of Nurses, the European Community, and finally research being conducted by the University of Manchester which is examining those subjects which most interest nurses in Europe.
