Diary writing as a means to increased self-evaluation.

The completion of a structured diary task is considered as a means of increasing self-evaluation. Seventeen drug dependence inpatients completed 5 weeks of the diary. Change was assessed using a self-rating of self-evaluation skill and the Rotter Locus of Control Scale. Pre-post changes on both indices indicated significantly increased internalization/self-evaluation. Clinically, the diary procedure has been helpful in gathering baseline information, encouraging self-evaluation habits, facilitating rapport, providing material useful in understanding cognitive style, and validating therapy progress. Clinicians are cautiously encouraged to use the diary procedure with substance dependence patients although design confounding variables limit the extent of the endorsement.

An analysis of the writings of Janet Geister and Mary Roberts regarding the problems of private duty nursing.

Fifty years ago there were two widely circulated nursing journals, each with a unique purpose and style. The Trained Nurse and Hospital Review was the privately owned older journal, and the American Journal of Nursing was the voice of the professional organization. Each journal was edited by a strong nursing leader, Janet Geister and Mary Roberts, respectively. Each editor had many years of service to the nursing profession in varied capacities. Naturally, each had distinctly different interests, visions, and styles of communication. These editors witnessed and commented on the change in the sphere of nursing practice from a private duty and public health orientation to one that eventually became dominated by the hospital. Although their approaches differed, both recognized the need for organization, versatility, and creative problem solving. However, the legacy of these leaders must be considered in view of the gap that continues to exist between practicing nurses and the American Nurses' Association leadership.

Clinical Research 6: Writing and research.

This six-part research series is aimed at clinicians who wish to develop research skills, or who have a particular clinical problem that they think could be addressed through research. The series aims to provide insight into the decisions that researchers make in the course of their work, and to also provide a foundation for decisions that nurses may make in applying the findings of a study to practice in their own Unit or Department. The series emphasises the practical issues encountered when undertaking research in critical care settings; readers are encouraged to source research methodology textbooks for more detailed guidance on specific aspects of the research process.
