The Internet and pediatric nursing: guide to the information superhighway.

Today's health care providers are learning the technologies available on the Internet and Worldwide Web and becoming more proficient at accessing information. Pediatric nurses are at a point where they, too, need to be able to use the information technologies that are available to them. The Internet contains resources such as directories, on-line medical and nursing texts, graphics and databases that are invaluable to nurses and all health professionals.

[Foreign international bibliographic databases: Index Medicus. Presentation and user instructions].

Index Medicus, edited by the National Library of Medicine, Bethesda, MD, USA, is a bibliography of the international biomedical literature and indexes more than 3,000 scientific reviews. The printed edition contains five sections: a list of indexed journals, the medical subject headings, a bibliography of medical reviews, a subject section and an author section. We explain how to conduct bibliographical searches within these five sections. The list of indexed journal shows the reader the abbreviated title in addition to the full title for writing a citation, as well as most of the important journals indexed by subject and the editing countries. Authors names are simply retrieved within the author section. Subjects are located first under the medical subject headings which contain the keywords, and then under the bibliography of medical reviews or the subject section. Despite the emergence of computer-aided literature searches, the printed data base of the Index Medicus remains a useful tool in the medical libraries around the world.

Ophthalmology's interaction with the Internet (you say, 'Internet what?').

1. You can be connected to the information Highway by a local phone call. So, you will have a monthly charge for your access, but not a more expensive phone bill. 2. Mail lists are discussion groups; actually, they are "computer remailers." When you join a mail list, your e-mail address is entered into a computer, along with a group of people with common interest on the Net. 3. The World Wide Web is the graphical and multimedia part of the Internet--color, sound, video, and all! To access the World Wide Web, you'll need a browser. A browser is a piece of software that allows you to look at all the Web's various home pages and websites. Organizations, individuals, universities, and corporations have Web addresses (called URLs) that allow you to look at their "roadside stand" on this Information Highway.

Taking a bite out of CRISP. Strategies on using and conducting searches in the Computer Retrieval of Information on Scientific Projects database.

A vast array of information useful to the scientific community is readily available on the internet. Currently, the National Institutes of Health (NIH) offers user access to several large databases, some of which are pertinent to nurses interested in research, health policy formation, and identifying funded research projects. One such database, the Computer Retrieval of Information on Scientific Projects (CRISP), provides information on research grants funded by the NIH from 1972 to the present. Retrieval of scientific information for each project in CRISP is made available by project title, grant number, abstract, principal investigator, eight-digit CRISP Thesaurus terms, and key words. This article introduces the reader to CRISP and provides a set of succinct strategies for conducting comprehensive searches in the database.

Nursing students' use of collaborative computer technology to create family and community assessment instruments.

Undergraduate nursing students enrolled in a community health nursing clinical course collaboratively designed their own family or community assessment instrument using innovative computer technology. Student perceptions of using an instrument they designed and the effects of technology on the group process were evaluated across four groups. Overall, students felt an enhanced sense of ownership of the jointly developed product. Additionally, they perceived that the computer-assisted process enabled a more positive group experience compared with past group work that did not use technology. The learning experiences of the four groups of students are analyzed and discussed in this article.

Integration of laptop computer technology into an undergraduate nursing course.

An evaluative study was done to determine the effects of laptop computer use on baccalaureate nursing students' attitudes toward computers, computer knowledge, and computer skills. Students in the experimental group (n = 20) received laptop computers and 9 hours of computer instruction. They were encouraged to use the laptop computers for e-mail, library searches, and word processing. The comparison group (n = 18) completed the same assignments in the usual manner. Students had positive attitudes toward computers both pretest and posttest with no significant increase or difference between the two groups. There was no significant difference between the two groups in computer knowledge outcomes; however, the experimental group had statistically significant gains in computer skills. Results of this study suggest that the integration of laptop computer technology into the undergraduate nursing curriculum can be an effective way to increase students' computer skills while maintaining positive attitudes toward computers in nursing.
