A comparison of nurse anesthesia practice types.

The present study examined the differences between anesthesia care team (ACT) and non-ACT practice types. Six practice variables were analyzed. We prepared and distributed a 13-item questionnaire to 1,000 practicing Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetists (CRNAs) with a 44.4% response rate. Data analysis revealed that nurse anesthetists in ACT practices had fewer years of experience and were younger than non-ACT nurse anesthetists (alpha = 0.05). Also, a significantly greater percentage of ACT nurse anesthetists were female, held master-level degrees, and practiced in urban and metropolitan locations. This also was true for placement of laryngeal mask airways and arterial lines, and in providing anesthesia for cardiopulmonary bypass, pediatric, intracranial, and trauma cases. However, a significantly greater percentage of non-ACT nurse anesthetists placed epidurals and central lines and were involved in pain management and critical care consultations. Income was significantly greater for non-ACT nurse anesthetists as well, but they worked more hours per week on average. Lastly, evaluation of employment arrangements showed that more than 91% (n = 361) of ACT nurse anesthetists were employees, and only 4% (n = 17) were self-employed. However, only 49% (n = 24) of non-ACT nurse anesthetists were employees, and almost 43% (n = 21) were self-employed. The present study demonstrates that significant differences exist between the 2 nurse anesthesia practice types examined. As nurse anesthesia practice arrangements continue to change and fewer CRNAs are hospital employed, each nurse anesthetist must be aware of current practice trends and understand the alternatives.

Where is the theory to support infusion nursing?

Even though there has been a dramatic increase in both the type and number of nursing theories, the infusion nursing specialty remains without a theoretical base. This article addresses the need for and types of infusion nursing theory. The obstacles to theory development, including the theory-practice gap in nursing, are examined in terms of their relevance to the infusion specialty. Suggestions for beginning to create a professional environment conducive to generating infusion theory and simultaneously bridging the theory-practice gap are introduced.

The purpose of this article is to present the results of a practice characteristics, salary, and benefits survey of 1,557 nurse practitioners from the United States who attended national nurse practitioner conferences in Las Vegas, Nevada, Orlando, Florida, Chicago, Illinois, and Boston, Massachusetts, in 1999. Specific data are presented on the demographics of the population, practice characteristics and responsibilities, benefits for full- and part-time employees, and salary by region, years of practice, type of certification, and location of the practice. The salary data were compared with the 1995-1996 and 1996-1997 NPACE practice characteristics, salary, and benefits surveys (Pulcini & Fitzgerald, 1997; Pulcini, Vampola, & Fitzgerald, 1998).

[Sense of personal control and the level of occupational stress and related effects].

There is opinion that the sense of personal control at workplace is an important factor determining the occupational stress and related effects. The group of 160 policemen were studied to verify empirically the above-mentioned opinion. The subjects assessed their level of sense of personal control, occupational stress, burnout and mental health. Statistical analysis revealed following significant correlation coefficients between the sense of personal control and stress (r = -0.33); job satisfaction (r = -0.44); emotional exhaustion (r = -0.28); depersonalization (r = -0.26); and feeling of personal accomplishment (r = -0.25); total score in GHQ-28 (r = -0.16). The results of the study let us draw a practical conclusion. In order to diminish the level of job stress it is required to introduce proper organizational changes enhancing the sense of personal control among workers.
