Abstract

To ascertain if faculty preferences affect students' preferences for nursing practice, this study investigated: 1) the convergence of students' preferences with those of their clinical faculty and 2) students' perceptions of faculty characteristics associated with their practice preferences at the completion of a clinical course. Fourteen faculty and 170 junior baccalaureate nursing students were measured at three points in time to determine student preferences for indirect-direct involvement in patient care. Findings did not support the convergence of students' preferences with those of faculty as they progressed through the course. At the completion of the course multiple regressions revealed that students' preferences were associated with preferences they attributed to faculty, their perceptions of faculty reputation among students, students' clinical grades, and their preferences for nursing practice before and after six weeks of the course.

In the wake of hospital inquiries: impact on staff and safety.

Mishandled concerns about clinical standards resulted in whistleblowing in four Australian hospitals. Official inquiries followed with recommendations to improve patient safety. In the aftermath of the inquiries, common themes included loss of trust in management and among clinical colleagues, and loss of trust from patients and the community. Without first rebuilding trust, staff will not report mistakes or other concerns about safety. Successful implementation of patient safety procedures requires policies to stress the professional duty of staff to report concerns about colleagues when they believe there is a risk to patients.

Retrieving the ars moriendi tradition.

North Atlantic culture lacks a commonly shared view on dying well that helps the dying, their social environment and caregivers to determine their place and role, interpret death and deal with the process of ethical deliberation. What is lacking nowadays, however, has been part of Western culture in medieval times and was known as the ars moriendi (art of dying well) tradition. In this paper an updated version of this tradition is presented that meets the demands of present day secularized and multiform society. Five themes are central to the new art of dying: autonomy and the self, pain control and medical intervention, attachment and relations, life balance and guilt, death and afterlife. The importance of retrieving the ancient ars moriendi outreaches the boundaries of palliative medicine, since it deals with issues that play a central role in every context of medical intervention and treatment.
