Abstract:

INTRODUÇÃO: Pautados na importância da qualificação profissional de enfermeiros na avaliação e cuidado ao prematuro a partir da análise de óbitos infantis no mundo, desenvolvemos um serious game enquanto ferramenta tecnológica educacional para facilitar a aprendizagem em enfermagem neonatal. O serious game e-Baby é uma ferramenta digital cujo objetivo é oferecer ao estudante a possibilidade de realizar a avaliação clínica e o cuidado ao prematuro em simulação virtual, antes de lidar com o bebê real no cenário de prática, podendo errar e refletir até compreender e aprimorar suas habilidades em um ambiente seguro. Ainda, as tecnologias devem ser vinculadas ao contexto e objetivos educacionais, respeitando e compreendendo os diferentes estilos de aprendizagem. OBJETIVO: Avaliar o impacto do serious game e-Baby: integridade da pele na aprendizagem cognitiva de estudantes de enfermagem, considerando os estilos de aprendizagem. MÉTODO: Trata-se de pesquisa metodológica quanto ao desenvolvimento da tecnologia e possui delineamento experimental e randomizado, com coparticipação de outras universidades brasileiras, para a avaliação do impacto na aprendizagem. Foi oferecido um curso extracurricular semipresencial aos participantes e, mediante aceite voluntário e seguindo os preceitos éticos em pesquisa, estes foram submetidos a avaliações de pré e pós-teste, caracterização, estilos de aprendizagem, avaliação do serious game e do curso. Foram divididos em dois grupos: controle e experimental, aleatoriamente. O tema do curso foi a avaliação clínica do prematuro quanto à necessidade de integridade da pele em alinhamento com o serious game desenvolvido. A análise estatística foi paramétrica, t de Student, considerando distribuição normal, utilizando também os testes Qui- Quadrado e exato de Fisher em determinadas variáveis. RESULTADOS E DISCUSSÃO: O serious game e-Baby: integridade da pele é uma tecnologia inovadora, validada por experts nas heurísticas de usabilidade em interface, elementos educacionais, conteúdo, jogabilidade e multimídia. Foi considerado relevante para auxiliar a aprendizagem de estudantes de enfermagem por refletir a prática clínica do enfermeiro no tema, segundo avaliação de enfermeiros em neonatologia. Teve avaliação geral muito satisfatória pelos estudantes, independentemente de seus estilos de aprendizagem, indicando que apesar das especificidades e preferências, consiste em uma tecnologia versátil para uso na educação em enfermagem. O estudo corrobora a literatura indicando as preferências dos estudantes para a inovação tecnológica e adesão de dispositivos e ferramentas, já inseridas e populares no contexto de nossa sociedade. As estratégias de ensino preferidas pela amostra demonstram interesse pela resolução de problemas, pelo papel ativo e por tarefas claramente vinculadas à prática do enfermeiro, reforçando o potencial sucesso da mudança de paradigma no ensino superior partindo do modelo tradicional para a adoção de novas teorias que valorizam o estudante como centro de sua própria aprendizagem. Não representou impacto significativo na aprendizagem cognitiva entre os grupos do estudo, apesar de ter refletido em melhores escores analisados em média aritmética para o grupo experimental. CONCLUSÃO: Apesar de o serious game e- Baby não ter representado impacto estatisticamente significativo na aprendizagem cognitiva dos estudantes de enfermagem, foi muito bem aceito pela amostra independentemente dos estilos de aprendizagem de cada participante. As principais características atribuídas a ele são: didático, interessante, estimulante para acesso de outras ferramentas semelhantes no curso, educativo ao oferecer feedback imediato e auxiliar a aprendizagem na percepção dos participantes
INTRODUCTION: Based on the importance of professional qualification for nurses and preterm newborns\' care, taking into account the analysis of child mortality in the world, we have developed a serious game as an educational technological tool to facilitate learning in neonatal nursing. The serious game e-Baby: skin integrity is a digital tool which objective is to offer students the possibility to perform clinical evaluation and provide care to the premature baby in a virtual simulation, before he/she does it in a real baby in the scenario of practice. So, the students can make mistakes and reflect on them until comprehension is fully reached and the skills improved in a safe environment. Besides, technologies must be linked to the educational context and goals, respecting the different learning styles. OBJECTIVE: Evaluate the impact of the serious game e-Baby: skin integrity in the cognitive learning of nursing students, considering the learning styles. METHOD: It is a methodological research as the development of the technology and randomized experimental research because it evaluated the impact on students\' learning, with participation of other Brazilian universities. It was offered an extracurricular and blended course to the participants which responded to evaluations of pre and post-test, characterization questionnaire, learning style index, evaluation of the serious game and the course, following ethical in research precepts. The participants were divided into control and experimental groups, randomly. The course\'s theme was the clinical evaluation of a preterm newborn and the proper interventions about the need of tissue integrity focused on skin, in alignment with the developed serious game. It was used parametrical analysis Student t, considering normal distribution, using also tests as Chi-square and exact of Fisher in certain variables. RESULTS AND DISCUSSION: Serious game e-Baby: skin integrity is an innovative technology, validated by experts in usability heuristics of interface, educational elements, content, gameability and multimedia. It was considered relevant to support nursing students\' learning in neonatology and its general evaluation given by students was highly satisfactory regardless their learning styles, indicating that, in spite of specificities and preferences of different users, it is a versatile tool to use in nursing education. This study corroborates literature indicating students\' preferences for technological innovation and adhesion to devices and tools already inserted and popular in our society context. Preferred teaching strategies by the sample demonstrate its interest for problem resolution, active role and tasks clearly linked to the nurses\' practice, reinforcing the potential success of the paradigm change in higher education from traditional model to the adoption of students-centered new theories. E-Baby did not present statistical difference in cognitive learning between the groups, despite it reflected on better scores for experimental group when adopting arithmetic mean. CONCLUSION: Despite the serious game did not represent impact in cognitive learning of nursing students, it was highly accepted by the sample regardless learning styles and validated by experts. Its main characteristics given by participants were: didactical, stimulating to access other digital tools in the course, educative as it offers immediate feedback and supportive for learning in the perception of students

Abstract:

Bakgrund: Sjuksköterskestudenter kan känna sig sårbara i början av sin verksamhetsförlagda utbildning (VFU) och kan påverkas både positivt och negativt av bemötandet från både handledare och övrig personalgrupp. Syfte: Att undersöka sjuksköterskestudenters upplevelser av bemötande från handledare och övrig personalgrupp och hur detta påverkar förmågan att utföra omvårdnad, samt studenternas upplevelse av studentrollen. Metod: Kvalitativ forskningsdesign med fem semistrukturerade intervjuer. Resultat: Resultatet delades in i tre huvudkategorier: Bemötande från handledare; Bemötande från övrig personalgrupp och Studentroll. Ett bra bemötande karaktäriserades av vänlighet, involvering i arbetet och förmedlande av trygghet. Ett dåligt bemötande kunde bestå av försummelse, att känna sig i vägen och dålig struktur. Studenterna hade haft skiftande roller under VFU och samtliga hade positiva aspekter. Studenterna upplevde att de hade utvecklats i sin förmåga att utföra omvårdnad. Slutsats: Studien påvisar att det är viktigt för studenter hur de blir bemötta på sin VFU, och vilken roll de får på arbetsplatsen. Den visar även att det är betydelsefullt att samtliga ur personalgruppen visar studenten ett bra bemötande. En undersköterskeroll kan vara utvecklande för sjuksköterskestudenter i termin två. Det förekommer dock negativa aspekter i bemötande från handledare och personalgrupp, vilket tyder på att studentens roll på VFU bör förtydligas.
Background: Nursing students may feel vulnerable in the beginning of a clinical practice placement. The relationship and interaction with their preceptors and other staff members can have a positive as well as a negative effect on the nursing student. Aim: To investigate nursing students’ experiences of the relationship and interaction with their preceptors and other staff members and the influence these factors have on their ability to perform nursing care, and also how the students experienced the student role. Method: Qualitative design with five semi-structured interviews. Result: The result was divided into three main categories: Relationship and interaction from preceptors; Relationship and interaction from other staff members and Student role. A good relationship and interaction was characterised by kindness, involvement in tasks and a sensation of safety. A bad relationship and interaction would consist of neglect, the sensation of being in the way and a bad structure. The students had a variety of roles that emerged during their clinical practice which all had positive aspects on their ability to perform nursing care. Conclusion: The study presented how important the relationship and interaction with the preceptors and other staff members are for nursing students during their clinical practice placement. As important is the role the student acquires. The study presents the importance of a good relationship with all staff members. A health care assistant role can be of value for nursing students during their first clinical practice placement. Certain negative aspects emerged indicating that clarifying information about the student role during clinical practice placement is needed.

Abstract:

This study is about the progress of a cohort of students who commenced a Project 2000 pre-registration nurse education course in April 1991. The research was undertaken entirely within one setting - in a College of Healthcare which was one of the 13 Demonstration colleges in England - and was conducted over a period of three years and ten months. The aim of the study was to evaluate what was considered by the nursing profession, government officials and educationalists, to be a radically new and innovative nursing course. A case study research approach of illuminative evaluation was used, within which a three stage framework of observation, further enquiry and evaluation was followed. The emphasis of the research was on the illumination of the processes, perceptions and contingencies which resulted in particular outcomes for the participants. This has enabled a comprehensive understanding of the complex realities which surrounded this innovative course, and the effects that a number of contemporaneous events have had on the findings. A description of these events has been presented, as has a literature review, overviews of both the history which preceded the introduction of Project 2000 and the professional concerns regarding the rapidity with which it was implemented. Multiple data collection methods were used to obtain the required information from the April 1991 cohort, the teachers involved with these students, the practitioners from three health authorities and other members of the College staff. The analyses of the data and the progressive focusing on the findings, have resulted in the identification of numerous positive and negative aspects and outcomes, together with problem areas and particular issues associated with the rapidity of the implementation of the course and the management of change. The placing of the negative and positive findings in a broader explanatory context, demonstrates how they relate to each other and with the research literature, and how the resulting conclusions have been reached. The research demonstrated that there were some very positive aspects and desirable outcomes which arose from the P.2000 programme. However, the concerns are the detrimental effects which arose from the introduction of numerous innovations into a constantly changing environment. The nursing profession had placed great importance on the introduction of P.2000, but insufficient time had been allowed for the application of management of change theories which would have enabled a more successful implementation to take place.

Gowing, Christine Mary. "Complementary and Alternative Medicine (CAM) in British nursing practice, 1960-2000." Thesis, University of Birmingham, 2016. http://etheses.bham.ac.uk//id/eprint/7167/.

Full text

Abstract:

Most nursing history has focused on the politics, identity and development of the profession. This study focuses on practice. It examines the surge of interest in complementary and alternative medicine {CAM) in British nursing during the second half of the twentieth century and explores how and why some nurses used CAM in their practice. It examines the therapies that nurses employed and how these practitioners were supported. The merit of this research lies in exposing evidence of a more clearly designed organisation of CAM in nursing than has been suggested previously and places it within a discrete timeframe, one already recognised as a period of reform in medicine. In using the methodology of oral histories, archives and nursing journals, the research is rooted in nursing history, importantly demonstrating that CAM practice in nursing was not only part of a shift in consciousness away from a medical model, but was an extension of the patient-centred nature of nursing culture in the late twentieth century. In presenting a movement that challenged the dominance of biomedicine, this thesis demonstrates the emergence of a changing model of healthcare and contributes an important perspective to the modern history of medicine and healing.

Carville, Keryln. "The evolution and experience of stomal therapy nurses in Australia 1959-2000." Thesis, Edith Cowan University, Research Online, Perth, Western Australia, 2003. https://ro.ecu.edu.au/theses/1488.

Full text

Abstract:

In Australia, stomal therapy nurses are registered nurses who have undertaken an educational programme in the care, counselling and rehabilitation of persons-who have, or who could potentially have, a wound, an ostomy (that is an artificial opening into a body cavity) or incontinence of bodily waste. The genesis of stomal therapy nurses in Australia as a specialty group within the broader nursing profession was in 1971, when 11 founding members established an association for registered nurses with an interest in the care of patients with stomas. However, the serendipitous event that pre-empted the formation of this special interest group, can be traced to an individual nurse's first clinical experience of caring for a patient with a stoma in 1959. The purpose of this study was to uncover the historical events that led to the development and evolution of stomal therapy nurses in Australia, and to describe the lived experiences of stomal therapy nurses within that historical context. The study employed two different qualitative methodological approaches. Separate historical and phenomenological studies were conducted and the uniqueness and philosophical foundations of both methodologies were preserved. The two independent studies stand alone in their sample population, data collection, data analysis and findings. The historical study findings opened a window to the past and revealed the persons, events and forces, that were instrumental in the development and evolution of stomal therapy nurses and nursing in Australia. The phenomenological study findings revealed the essence of what it is to be a stomal therapy nurse in Australia and a member of the Australian association of Stomal Therapy Nurses. Comparative and contextual analysis of the historical and phenomenological findings was then conducted in order to enhance the understanding of the phenomena. This comparative and contextual analysis of historical and phenomenological findings has been termed histro-phenomenology and this approach has revealed the key findings of this study. These key findings revealed an exciting insight into the professional characteristics that define a Good nurse and-the behaviours and attitudes that reflect the essence of Good nursing.

O número de idosos(as) vem aumentando e esta mudança populacional vem redefinindo as relações sociais e constituindo uma nova e preocupante imagem. O envelhecimento é uma experiência singular, sujeita a influências sócio-culturais e o corpo que envelhece é diferente do modelo social vigente e, em relação ao gênero, as mulheres são mais avaliadas pela sua aparência física, passando o envelhecimento a funcionar como uma ameaça, associada à perda da libido e da sexualidade, uma necessidade humana básica, independente de faixa etária, que está para além da genitalidade. O objetivo desta pesquisa foi verificar o conhecimento produzido acerca da interface das temáticas, mulheres idosas, gênero e sexualidade por meio da avaliação sistemática de periódicos da Enfermagem, Saúde Pública e Gerontologia, no período compreendido entre os anos de 2003 e 2007. É um estudo de abordagem qualitativa, caracterizado como pesquisa bibliográfica. A coleta dos artigos foi realizada por meio de descritores pré-estabelecidos e a análise se deu por categorização. Foram consultados 220 exemplares e pré-selecionados 362 artigos (111 na Enfermagem; 95 na Saúde Pública e 156 na Gerontologia), destes, sete foram selecionados, pois versavam sobre envelhecimento, gênero e sexualidade. Através da leitura desses artigos foi possível perceber uma preocupação em relação à qualidade de vida ou a promoção de um envelhecimento saudável, mas sexualidade e gênero das mulheres idosas continua um tema invisível. Foram abstraídas três categorias: feminilização da velhice, questão social da velhice feminina e idosa assexualizada. Sendo o envelhecimento e a própria gerontologia realidades recentes, falta preparo para a temática e, talvez por isso, o escasso material disponível. Apesar da produção pouco expressiva, é importante salientar que os(as) enfermeiros(as) e os grupos de estudos e pesquisa de gênero vêm despontando e apresentando preocupações relevantes com a temática. Quando se refere ao cuidado integral em idosas, não se pode esquecer a sexualidade, pois esta também está ligada ao cuidado e para tanto, os currículos dos cursos de graduação na área da saúde deveriam trazer mais reflexões sobre gênero e sexualidade das mulheres idosas nos componentes ligados à gerontologia e saúde da mulher, portanto, convidam-se os(as) professores(as) para que introduzam a temática gênero e sexualidade nos Projetos Pedagógicos dos Cursos (PPC) e que façam essa discussão nas disciplinas/conteúdos que contemplem a mulher idosa.
The number of elderly has increased and this change in population is redefining social relationships and is constituting a new and worrying image. Aging is a singular experience, subjected to socio-cultural influences and the aging body is different from the current social model and, regarding gender, women are the most evaluated in their physical appearance, so aging is turned into a threat, associated with the loss of libido and sexuality, a human basic need, regardless the age, which is beyond the genital aspect. The objective of this research is to verify the knowledge produced around the interface of themes, elder women, gender and sexuality, through systematic evaluation of Nursing journals, Public Health and Gerontology, in a period that comprises the years from 2003 to 2007. It is a study of a qualitative approach, characterized as bibliographical research. The collection of articles was done through pre-established descriptions and the analysis was carried through categories. 220 samples were consulted and 362 articles were pre-selected (111 in Nursing; 95 in Public Health and 156 in Gerontology), from these, seven were selected, because they talked about aging, gender and sexuality. Through reading of these articles it has been possible to notice the concern regarding quality of life or the development of healthy aging, but sexuality and gender of elder women continues to be an invisible theme. Three categories were abstracted: feminization of aging, social matter of women’s aging and asexualized elder. Considering aging and gerontology itself as recent realities, there is a lack of preparation for the theme and, maybe due to this, the rare available material. Despite the non expressive production, it is important to highlight that nurses and the groups of study of researches of this gender started to emerge and they are presenting relevant concerns about the theme. When it comes to the integral care of the elderly, one can not forget sexuality, because this is also connected to care and for that the syllabus o the graduation courses on health area should bring more reflections on the gender and sexuality of elder women in the components connected to gerontology and women’s health, therefore, professors are invited to introduce the theme gender and sexuality in the so-called Projetos Pedagógicos dos Cursos (PPC) and to create this discussion in the disciplines / contents which involve the elder woman.

Es un estudio de abordaje cualitativa, caracterizado como investigación bibliográfica. La coleta de los artículos fue realizada por medio de descriptores pre establecidos y la análisis se dio por categorización.

A través de la lectura de esos artículos fue posible percibir una preocupación en relación a la calidad de vida o la promoción de un envejecimiento saludable, pero sexualidad y género de las mujeres mayores continúa un tema invisible.

Siendo el envejecimiento y la propia gerontología realidades recientes, falta preparo para la temática y, quizás por eso, el escaso material disponible. A pesar de la producción poco expresiva, es importante decir que los (as) enfermeros (as) y los grupos de estudios y investigación de genero vienen despuntando y presentando preocupaciones relevantes con la temática. Cuando se refiere al cuidado integral en mayores, no se puede olvidar la sexualidad, pues esta también está relacionada al cuidado y para tanto, los currículos de los cursos de graduación en la área de la salud deberían traer mas reflexiones sobre genero y sexualidad de las mujeres mayores en las asignaturas relacionadas a la gerontología y salud de la mujer, por eso, se invitan los (as) profesores (as) para que introduzcan la temática genero y sexualidad en los Proyectos Pedagógicos de los Cursos (PPC) y que hagan esa discusión en las asignaturas/contenidos que contemplen la mujer mayor.

Abstract:

Trata-se de estudo qualitativo desenvolvido por meio de análise de discurso cujo objetivo foi analisar a discursividade dos gestores em diferentes níveis de gestão sobre transferência da política do tratamento diretamente observado (TDO) no controle da tuberculose. Para isto, esta análise parte do contexto de decisão macropolítico para o contexto micropolítico tendo como cenário local o município de Ribeirão Preto-SP, considerado prioritário para o controle da doença. Foram entrevistados quatro sujeitos-gestores envolvidos com a política do TDO nas instâncias estadual, regional, municipal e no nível intermediário entre a regional e o município, mediante aceite de termo de compromisso. Os dados foram coletados no período de agosto a dezembro de 2013, as entrevistas foram audiogravadas, transcritas, respeitando-a na sua íntegra. O corpus da pesquisa foi composto por recortes, formação discursiva e marcas linguísticas, quais foram selecionados dos discursos dos sujeitos. A análise ocorreu mediante a fundamentação teórico-metodológica da Análise de Discurso (AD) de matriz francesa, que se sustenta sobre três vertentes teóricas: o Materialismo Histórico, a Linguística e a Psicanálise. Este tipo de análise não visa uma análise exaustiva horizontal ou de toda extensão do objeto de pesquisa, por entender que este não se esgota e que um discurso institui-se sempre em relação aos outros. Busca-se apoiar na exaustividade vertical com o intuito de contemplar o objetivo do trabalho e da temática abordada. Os dados foram organizados sob o eixo da temática da transferência de políticas e da temática da TB os quais apontaram para diferentes efeitos de sentido durante a transferência da política do TDO como o silenciamento, apagamento, polifonia, polissemia e contradição durante o processo de transferência desta política nos diferentes níveis de gestão, que passou gradativamente pelo processo de transferência autoritária para a transferência voluntária da maior instancia política para a menor. Destaca-se que no município este processo ocorreu de forma incompleta visto que não houve a superação do paradigma da desconcentração das ações de TB para a Atenção Primária em Saúde (APS)
This qualitative study was conducted using discourse analysis, the objective of which was analyzed the reports of different level managers regarding policy transfer of Directly Observed Treatment (DOT) in the control of tuberculosis. This analysis starts with the context of macro-political decisions in the micro-political context and the local setting was the city of Ribeirão Preto, SP, Brazil, considered a priority in the control of the disease. Four managers involved with the DOT policy at the state, regional, and city levels and another manager in the intermediate level between region and city were interviewed after signing consent forms. Data were collected from August to December 2013. The interviews were recorded, transcribed, respecting it in its entirety. The study\'s corpus was composed of excerpts, discursive formations and linguistics marks, which were selected from the participants\' reports according to the guiding question. Analysis was based on the French theoretical-methodological framework of Discourse Analysis, which in turn is grounded on three theoretical aspects: the Historical Materialism, Linguistics and Psychoanalysis. An exhaustive horizontal analysis, or an analysis that encompasses the entire extent of the research\'s object, is not intended in this type of analysis because the topic is not exhausted and discourses are always instituted in relation to others. The objective is to be supported in vertical exhaustiveness to contemplate the objective of the study and the topic under study. Data were organized under policy transfer\' and tuberculosis\' thematic axis, which indicate different effects of meanings during DOT policy transfer, such as muting, blanking, polyphony, polysemy, and contradictions during this policy transfer process at the different levels of management, which gradually moved from an authoritative transfer to a voluntary transfer, from a higher political instance to a lower one. Nonetheless, this process was not completed in the city because the paradigm decentralizing TB actions from Primary Health Care (PHC) was not overcome

Abstract:

Master of Philosophy in Public Health
This thesis is about the substantial service Karitane provided in the teaching of mothercraft to guide parents in the care of their young children in New South Wales. At first called the Australian Mothercraft Society, it emerged in New South Wales as a voluntary organisation in 1923, closely allied to New Zealand’s Plunket Society founded in 1907 by Sir Truby King. Karitane was at its most active in the 1940s when it provided over a quarter of Sydney’s residential mothercraft services. Its beginnings were overshadowed by conflict and the New South Wales Department of Public Health did not acknowledge Karitane until the 1960s. Until then Karitane was absent from the public record of services for mother and baby in NSW. Sydney’s Eastern Suburbs community and the Karitane Products Society in New Zealand supported Karitane before it integrated into New South Wales’ government supported health services. Throughout it delivered on its aims of teaching mothers ways of caring for infants, disseminating knowledge about the care of young children and preparing specialist nurses. The main theme of this thesis is the ‘moving frontier’ that is the boundary between the voluntary providers of health services and governmental provision of health services. Karitane’s development has depended on the politics of health care at Commonwealth, State and local levels. The secondary themes derive from the competition for scarce resources amongst the professional groups involved; doctors, nurses and health service administrators. Karitane’s experience has not been unique; it has followed a trajectory common to voluntary organizations providing personal care services through the twentieth century and it has conformed to trends in public health. Sometimes Karitane led the trends and sometimes it trailed; it adapted to circumstances but it retains a degree of independence. Shining through all the problems with resources are the human experiences of appreciative mothers who used Karitane’s services and the dedicated staff and supporters who provided mothercentred help with the care of infants. The mother/infant relationship continues to be a central concern for public health. This study of Karitane gives a longitudinal perspective on the contribution of a small band of skilled people with a clear mission to provide services to assist mothers with their babies and young children.

Abstract:

Abstract The purpose of this study was to describe and understand the evolution of the content and characteristics of Finnish geriatric nursing from the 1930s till the 2000s. The research approach was based on three underlying assumptions: historicity, multi-level analysis and the dimensions of goals and actual practice. Historicity implied both a long-term analysis of the phenomenon and the use of historical methodology. Multi-level analysis implied that the phenomenon was analyzed at both a macro-level and a micro-level. The macrolevel consisted of the societal geriatric policies (level I). The micro-level was divided into functional environments comprising the municipal context (level II) and nursing organizations (level III) as well as the nursing practice (level IV). The focal aim in the multi-level analysis was to compare the goals (at levels I-III) to the actual practice (level IV). The underlying theoretical premises of the multi-level analysis consisted of system-oriented thinking, and the data were organized in terms of the guidance model. The evolution of geriatric nursing was analyzed on the basis of official documents at the level I, the municipal documents of three municipalities in northern Finland at the level II, the documents of geriatric nursing organizations in selected municipalities at the level III, and retrospective knowledge of nursing aids and assistants and practical nurses at the level IV. In addition to this, contemporary material as well as relevant literature, magazines and research findings were used to shed light on the historico-sociocultural context. The manner of reading applied was systematic interpretation, which allowed the macro- and micro-level information of geriatric nursing in different historical periods to be integrated into a comprehensible whole. The study highlighted the basic dimensions of both goals and actual practice. Using a theoretical societal frame of analysis, they were combined into the general guidelines of geriatric nursing: the retaining nursing of the activation stage (1930-1950), the collective nursing of the preliminary stage (1950-1970), the individual nursing of the revitalizing stage (1970-1990) and the balancing nursing of the renovative stage (1990-). The findings indicated that the evolution of geriatric nursing was shaped by the goal-oriented dimensions of the geriatric policies, the municipal organizations and the functional contexts of the nursing organizations as well as the nurses' role in the actual practice. The findings also indicated that the goals defined in geriatric policies were implemented in the actual nursing practice with some delay. The purpose of the study was to produce synthesizing basic nursing research. It thus opened up a new perspective into the research questions motivated by nursing science. The findings can also be utilized in efforts to understand the value and knowledge base of geriatric nursing and in nurse education. In order to be able to develop nursing further, it is important not to approach nursing as a separate phenomenon, but to integrate it into a wider historico-sociocultural analysis. The methodological solutions made here can also be applied to other nursing research
Tiivistelmä Tutkimuksen tarkoituksena oli kuvailla ja ymmärtää suomalaisen vanhusten hoitotyön sisällön ja luonteen muotoutumista 1930-luvulta 2000-luvulle. Tutkimuksen tarkastelunäkökulmana oli kolme perusolettamusta: historiallisuus, monitasoisuus sekä tavoitteiden ja tosiasiallisen toiminnan ulottuvuudet. Historiallisuus viittasi sekä ilmiön tarkasteluun pitkällä aikavälillä että historialliseen tutkimusmenetelmään. Monitasoisuus liitti ilmiön tarkastelun makro- ja mikrotasoille. Makrotason muodosti yhteiskunnallinen vanhuspolitiikka (I-taso). Mikrotaso jakaantui kunnalliseen (II-taso) ja hoito-organisaatioiden (III-taso) muodostamiin toimintaympäristöihin sekä käytännön hoitotyöhön (IV-taso). Monitasotarkastelun lävistävänä näkökulmana oli heijastaa tavoitteellisia ulottuvuuksia (I-III-taso) käytännön tosiasialliseen toimintaan (IV-taso). Tutkimuksen väljänä monitasotarkastelua ohjaavana teoreettisena lähtökohtana oli systeemiajattelu ja jäsennyksenä toimi ohjausmalli. Vanhusten hoitotyön muotoutumista haettiin I-tasolla virallisten dokumenttien, II-tasolla kolmen pohjoissuomalaisen kunnan kunnallisten asiakirjojen, III-tasolla valittujen kuntien vanhusten hoito-organisaatioiden dokumenttien sekä IV-tasolla apu-, perus- ja lähihoitajien muistitiedon avulla. Tämän lisäksi ajan historiallis-sosiokulttuurisen kontekstin ymmärtämiseksi hyödynnettiin aikalaisaineiston ohella myös ilmiötä koskevaa kirjallisuutta, aikakauslehdistöä ja tutkimustietoa. Tutkimuksen luentatapana oli systematisoiva tulkinta, jonka avulla integroitiin makro- ja mikrotason tiedot vanhusten hoidosta eri aikakausilta yhteen ymmärrettäväksi kokonaisuudeksi. Tutkimus tuotti sekä tavoitteellisten että tosiasiallisen toiminnan ulottuvuuksien peruslinjat. Näistä muodostettiin teoreettista yhteiskunnallista jäsennyskehystä hyödyntäen hoitotyön yleiset kehityslinjat: aktivointivaiheen säilyttävä hoitotyö (1930-1950), luonnosteluvaiheen kollektisoiva hoitotyö (1950-1970), elävöittämisvaiheen yksilöllinen hoitotyö (1970-1990) sekä uudentamisvaiheen tasapainoileva hoitotyö (1990-). Tutkimus osoitti, että hoitotyön muotoutumiseen vaikuttivat vanhuspolitiikan, kunnallisen ja hoito-organisaatioiden toimintaympäristöjen tavoitteelliset ulottuvuudet sekä hoitajan rooli tosiasiallisessa toiminnassa. Tuloksista kävi ilmi, että vanhuspolitiikan tavoitteet heijastuivat hoitotyön tosiasialliseen toimintaan viiveellä. Tutkimuksen ideana oli tuottaa kokoavaa hoitotieteellistä perustutkimusta. Tutkimus avasi siten uutta näkökulmaa hoitotieteen tieteenalasta nouseviin tutkimuskysymyksiin. Tuloksia voidaan hyödyntää myös vanhusten hoitotyön arvo- ja tietoperustan ymmärtämiseen sekä hoitotyön opetukseen. Hoitotyön edelleen kehittämisen kannalta on tärkeää, että hoitotyötä ei tarkastella vain yksittäisenä ilmiönä, vaan se liitetään laajempaan ajan historiallis-sosiokulttuuriseen tarkasteluun. Tutkimuksen menetelmällisiä ratkaisuja voidaan soveltaa myös muissa hoitotieteellisissä tutkimuksissa

Abstract:

Bakgrund: Lex Maria infördes på 1930-talet efter att personal på ett sjukhus i Stockholm råkade förväxla ett läkemedel med ett rengöringsmedel vilket resulterade i att många patienter dog. Genom att känna till vilka misstag som görs och varför ökar, yrkeskompetensen och på så sätt höjs patientsäkerheten inom vården. Syfte: Syftet med studien var att jämföra vad som anmälts enligt Lex Maria på sjukhus i Region Skåne under år 2000 och år 2010. Metod: En empirisk studie med kvantitativ ansats. Lex Maria anmälningar hämtades från Socialstyrelsens regionala tillsynsmyndighet syd. Därefter gjordes en innehållsanalys för att skapa variabler. Resultat: Resultatet innehåller 228 anmälningar från båda åren tillsammans. Resultatet presenteras i form av tabeller och diagram för att det överskådligt ska kunna jämföras. Diskussion: De fyra viktigaste fynden relaterat till sjuksköterskans yrke var: ”Fördröjd vård”, ”Misstag i allmänna vården”, ”Misstag i läkemedelshanteringen” samt ”Misstag i omvårdnaden”. Fynden jämförs och orsaker om varför felen uppstår diskuteras. Slutsats: Fel enligt Lex Maria uppstår i många fall på grund av stress, okunskap, dålig kontinuitet och brist i rutiner. Sjuksköterskors skyldighet är att vara medvetna om lagar och författningar som styr dem i sitt arbete och studien kan vara ett hjälpmedel i deras arbetsliv.
Background: Lex Maria was founded in 1930 after staff at a hospital in Stockholm happened to confuse one drug with a detergent with the result that many patients died. By knowing which mistakes are made and why, the professional skills will increase, thereby increasing the patient safety in healthcare. Purpose: The purpose of this study was to compare what is reported according to Lex Maria in hospitals in Region Skåne year 2000 and year 2010. Method: An empirical study with a quantitatively approach. Lex Maria reports were taken from the Board's regional supervisor South. Then a content analysis was made to create variables. Results: The results include 228 notifications from both years together. The results are presented in tables and diagrams to clearly be compared. Discussion: The four most important discoveries related to the nurse's profession was: “Delayed care”, “Mistakes in public care”, “Mistakes in drug dealing” and “Mistakes in nursing”. The findings are compared and reasons why errors occur are discussed. Conclusion: Errors according to Lex Maria are in many cases caused by stress, ignorance, lack of continuity and lack of procedures. Nurses' obligation is to be aware of laws and regulations that govern them in their work and the study may work as an aid in their work.

Abstract:

Antimicrobial resistance is mainly caused by inappropriate and abundant use of antibiotics. To enlighten the most relevant problematic areas in antibiotic use, where the decisions should be made, the different levels were analysed in this study: the self-medication with antibiotics of the population, ambulatory and also hospital antibiotic use. The results showed that wrong perception about antibiotics is characteristic to Lithuanian population, as there is lack of privity, while traditions of self-medication and also habits to apply the previous experience, when doctor prescribed antibiotics, are entrenched. As the ambulatory care covers the most of the population, the most antibiotics are consumed in this level. However often they are prescribed irrationally for non-bacterial infections just on the basis of clinical symptoms. The antibiotic prescribing for one of the most frequent infection acute pharyngitis / tonsillitis might be improved by implementation of rapid antigen detection tests. The extent of antibiotic consumption in nursing hospitals is low, but it is uncontrolled. Therefore the development of correct population approach, education of health care professionals, implementation of diagnostic tools, antibiotic sales‘ control, guidelines for diagnostics and treatment, approvement of antibiotic prescribing procedures – all those items would promote rational antibiotic use.

Vienos iš dažniausių infekcijų – ūminio faringito / tonzilito gydymas būtų veiksmingesnis, jei optimizuojant antibiotikų skyrimą būtų atliekami greitieji A grupės beta hemolizinio streptokoko testai. Slaugos ligoninėse suvartojama antibiotikų nedaug, bet tai nėra kontroliuojama. Todėl itin svarbu gyventojų požiūrio formavimas, medikų mokymas, diagnostikos priemonių diegimas, antibiotikų pardavimo kontrolė, gydymo rekomendacijų ir antibakterinių vaistų skyrimo taisyklių tvirtinimas. Visa tai skatintų teisingą antibiotikų vartojimą.

Abstract:

This thesis centres on an analysis of the perceptions of lecturers and students on the place of research in the nursing curriculum. An investigation into the conceptions held by both teachers and students requires the research to be conducted from a ‘second order’ perspective. The way teachers think about teaching and the way students think about learning cannot be observed. A recently developed second-order qualitative approach known as phenomenography (Marton, 1981; 1986), which has been used extensively in research, has been adapted for this study. The samples consisted of mental health nursing students from three higher education institutions in Scotland. The lecturer samples were from the same institutions and were selected on the basis of their involvement in delivering the research aspects of the curriculum. Data collection techniques included in-depth interviews and focus group discussions. The qualitative data package - NUD-IST was used to assist management of the data during analysis. It became clear through this project that there needs to be more evidence-based support for the rhetoric on evidence-based nursing, and its place in teaching and learning. The thesis has provided a basis for developing research in nursing education in this direction by describing a fully developed methodology especially suitable for this research purpose. In addition, it has offered a conceptual framework that provides a stronger theoretical underpinning for nurse education, derived directly from the experiences of students, as well as staff, in nurse education. In so doing, it also contributes to the wider research into student learning which is currently paying more attention than in the past to teaching and learning within the differing subject areas.

Abstract:

The quality of care in nursing homes has been evaluated from many varying perspectives, but few studies have analyzed quality in light of complaints made to state survey agencies by residents, their family members, or other individuals interacting with the nursing home. This study analyzed complaints, investigation of complaint allegations, and complaint-related deficiency citations to determine their effect, if any, on the quality of care in nationwide nursing homes. Using the Online Survey Certification and Reporting (OSCAR) survey dataset for facility characteristics and the complaint investigation dataset for outcomes of complaint investigation, analyses conducted included descriptives, correlations, conceptual mapping for complaint-related deficiencies, chi-square tests of independence, t-tests, and generalized estimating equations. At baseline, approximately 66% of nursing homes were for-profit and roughly 53% belonged to a chain membership, while the average percent of residents receiving Medicaid for care reimbursement was 60%. Results indicated that nursing homes differed significantly by profit status and chain membership on whether a complaint was received and whether a deficiency citation was issued following a complaint investigation. Additionally, certain facility and resident-aggregated characteristics, as indicated by odds ratios, were associated with an increase in the likelihood of receiving a complaint or a complaint-related citation. With respect to facility characteristics, for-profit nursing homes and those nursing homes belonging to a chain membership were found to have more complaints and more complaint-related deficiency citations than nonprofit nursing homes and non-chain facilities. Resident-aggregated characteristics, such as a nursing home having more residents restrained, more residents with a catheter, or more residents with a diagnosis of depression, indicated a greater likelihood of receiving a complaint or complaint-related deficiency citation in longitudinal analyses. While additional research could aid in interpreting the effect of complaints on quality of care in nursing homes, study results indicate several facility and resident-aggregated factors that may aid in better understanding of quality of care and improve the training of surveyors and nursing home staff to improve quality of care for residents.

Abstract:

Introdução: A Lei nº. 10.216 redireciona o modelo assistencial em saúde mental, enfatizando a convivência comunitária e a atenção extra-hospitalar para portadores de distúrbio mental. No entanto, o Brasil enfrenta um grande desafio na consolidação da reforma psiquiátrica, a qual difunde-se nos discursos, porém as ações de implementação não acontecem na mesma proporção. Constata-se em Ribeirão Preto, o número insuficiente de serviços comunitários, além da fragilidade dos vínculos de integração do usuário com estes serviços. Esses fatos acabam refletindo nas taxas de internações e reinternações psiquiátricas. Objetivos: Identificar o perfil sociodemográfico e as condições clínicas das reinternações psiquiátricas no período de janeiro de 2006 a dezembro de 2007 no Hospital Santa Tereza, buscando-se associação entre estas variáveis. Metodologia: Para a coleta dos dados foi criado um instrumento \"Levantamento de reinternações psiquiátricas; em seguida foram examinados os prontuários de reinternações, utilizando-se o relatório anual de movimentação dos pacientes. Foi construído um banco de dados com todas as variáveis presentes no instrumento de coleta de dados. Resultados e discussão: Dos 2.025 prontuários encontrou-se 681 pacientes reinternados, sendo a maioria proveniente da DRS XIII, branca, entre 40 e 49 anos, masculino, solteiros e nível fundamental incompleto. A maioria das reinternações foi motivada pelo abandono do tratamento isolada ou associada a outras causas e com internações anteriores de 1 a 4 vezes, em outros hospitais psiquiátricos. Os diagnósticos prevalentes foram esquizofrenia, transtorno afetivo bipolar, transtornos mentais e comportamentais devido ao uso de álcool, transtornos específicos da personalidade. O estado físico foi bom, na admissão e na alta. Quanto ao estado mental observouse que 85% dos pacientes que entram calmos preservaram este estado. Os tratamentos predominantes foram o farmacológico e o psicológico. A idade do início da doença nos homens (32 anos) é maior do que as mulheres (18 anos) (P=0,0011). O tempo de permanência na internação hospitalar é maior para as mulheres do que para os homens, na faixa dos 40 aos 49 anos (T>t=0,032). Conclusões: Este estudo possibilitou conhecer as características sociodemográficas e clínicas dos pacientes reinternados no Hospital Santa Tereza de Ribeirão Preto. Confirmou-se que o fluxo de atendimento está de acordo com os princípios de regionalização e hierarquização preconizados pelo Sistema Único de Saúde. A proveniência da maioria das reinternações foi de Ribeirão Preto e a maior proporção dos pacientes já havia sido internada em outros hospitais psiquiátricos. Encontrou-se correlação positiva entre sexo e algumas variáveis, como idade, escolaridade, estado civil, motivo da internação, estado físico na admissão, internações anteriores em outros hospitais psiquiátricos, tipo de alta, tratamento durante a internação e estado físico na alta, bem como com a idade. O estado mental na alta correlacionou-se com a idade dos pacientes reinternados.
Introduction: Law number 10.216 gives a new direction to the mental health care model, emphasizing on community living and extra-hospital care for people with mental disorders. However, Brazil is facing a great challenge to consolidate the psychiatric reform, which is broadly discussed, but effective actions do not follow the same rate. In Ribeirao Preto there are insufficient community services. As a consequence, there is an effect on psychiatric hospitalizations and rehospitalizations. Objectives: to identify the sociodemographic profile and the clinical conditions of psychiatric patients that were rehospitalized from January 2006 to December 2007 in the Santa Tereza Hospital, seeking an association between these variables. Methodology: the data was collected using a tool created specifically for this means, named \"A survey of psychiatric rehospitalizations\". Next, the records of patients who were hospitalized were analyzed according to the annual patient flow report. A data bank was created, comprising all the variables from the data collection instrument. Results and discussion: It was found that 681 of the 2,025 patient records referred to re-hospitalized patients, most of whom had been referred from the DRS XIII Regional Health Directory, were white, between 40 and 49 years old, male, single, and had incomplete primary education. Most rehospitalizations were due to the patients dropout exclusively or in association with other causes and with previous hospitalizations occurring between 1 and 4 times in other psychiatric hospitals. The prevalent diagnoses were: schizophrenia, bipolar affective psychosis, mental and behavior disorders due to the use of alcohol, and specific personality disorders. The patients physical condition was good at both admission and discharge. As for the patients mental condition, it was observed that 85% of the patients who enter calmly remain that way. The predominant treatments were pharmacological and psychological. The age of onset in men (32 years) is higher than that in women (18 years) (P=0.0011). The length of stay is higher among women compared to men, for the age range 40 to 49 years (T>t=0.032). Conclusions: This study made it possible to learn about the sociodemographic and clinical characteristics of patients who were rehospitalized in the Santa Tereza Hospital in Ribeirão Preto. It was confirmed that the service flow is in accordance with the principles of regionalization and hierarchization recommended by the Unified Health System. Most rehospitalized patients lived in Ribeirão Preto and most had already been hospitalized in other psychiatric hospitals. A positive correlation was found between gender and other variables, such as age, education level, marital status, reason for hospitalization, physical condition at admission, previous hospitalizations, type of discharge, treatment during hospitalization, and physical condition at discharge, as well as age. The patients mental condition at the moment of discharge was correlated with the age of rehospitalized patients.

Abstract:

Trata-se de um estudo exploratório-descritivo do tipo documental e estatístico, de abordagem quantitativa, com o objetivo de analisar as ações judiciais individuais para fornecimento de medicamentos, insumos ou materiais, propostas por usuários com diabetes mellitus (DM) no município de Ribeirão Preto e região, no período de 2004 a 2013. A coleta de dados estudo foi realizada no Departamento Regional de Saúde XIII (DRS XIII) do estado de São Paulo e na Secretaria Municipal de Saúde de Ribeirão Preto/SP, no período setembro de 2013 a janeiro de 2014. Foi utilizado um instrumento semi-estruturado contendo variáveis relacionadas aos elementos processuais e variáveis relacionadas aos usuários com DM. Os dados coletados foram organizados, digitados em banco de dados, importados para o programa Statistical Package for Social Sciences, e submetidos à análise estatística descritiva. No período investigado foram identificados 636 processos judiciais movidos por usuários com DM, dos quais 374 (58,8%) pertenciam a mulheres. A faixa etária predominante nas ações, 372 (58,5%), refere-se a usuários com idade entre 18 e 60 anos. Observou-se que o número de processos é crescente a partir do ano de 2004, três até 2012 (111), e em 2013 medidas administrativas foram instituídas com o intuito de reduzir o número das ações, resultando em uma diminuição para 77 processos. Em 431 (67,7%) casos as instituições que conduziram as ações pertencem ao serviço público e compreendem a Defensoria Pública e o Ministério Público. 457 (71,9%) processos tinham como origem da prescrição médica o serviço prestado por consultórios particulares. 470 (73,9%) processos são movidos por usuários residentes no município de Ribeirão Preto. No que tange as solicitações de antidiabéticos orais, foi possível observar que dentre os pleiteados houve predomínio, 122(19%) das gliptinas, seguidas das glitazonas, que correspondeu a 31 (4,9%) das solicitações. Quanto às solicitações nas quais o pleito referiu-se às insulinas, as mais frequentemente solicitadas foram as de ação longa (glargina e detemir), resultando em 397(62,4%), seguidas das de ação ultra-rápida (lispro, apart e glulisina) que resultaram em 357 (56,1%) ações. Em 17 (2,7%) processos as demandas continham medicamentos já incluídos na lista federal de fornecimento gratuito de medicamentos, entretanto nos anos em que foram solicitados ainda não havia regularidade no fornecimento dos mesmos, o que pode ter suscitado a solicitação via judicial. Dos 636 processos 163 (25,6%) possuíam solicitação de materiais e/ou insumos. Desses, a maioria, 111 (17,5%), trata de materiais e insumos relacionados à aplicação da insulina através de múltiplas injeções diárias e 88 (13,8%) ações solicitaram materiais e insumos relacionados à utilização de bomba de infusão contínua de insulina. Conhecer a realidade da judicialização do direito à saúde em usuários com DM permite levantar indagações a respeito de como tal fenômeno acontece. Além disso, resulta em inquietações sobre o que têm sido relevante para as decisões finais do Judiciário, em relação a tais demandas. Por fim, tais resultados podem servir de base para uma reestruturação dos serviços em questão a fim de que novas propostas sejam apresentadas para solucionar as situações detectadas, além de promover a reflexão sobre o que de fato se entende por direito à saúde
This is an exploratory-descriptive study, documental and statistical, quantitative approach, aiming at analyzing individual lawsuits for providing medicines, supplies or materials proposed for patients with diabetes mellitus (DM) in Ribeirão Preto and region in the period 2004-2013. Data collection was performed at the Regional Department of Health XIII (XIII DRS) of the state of São Paulo and the Municipal Health Department of Ribeirão Preto / SP in the period September, 2013 to January, 2014. A semi-structured questionnaire containing items related to procedural elements and variables related users with DM. The collected data were entered into the database, imported into the Statistical Package for Social Sciences and subjected to descriptive statistical analysis. In the period investigated, 636 lawsuits filed by users with DM, of which 374 (58.8%) belonged to the women. The predominant age group in actions, 372 (58.5%), refers to users aged between 18 and 60 years. It was observed that the number of processes is increased from 2004 (three) until 2012 (111). In 2013 there is a reduction in the number to 77 cases, due to the implementation of administrative measures to this end. In 431 (67.7%) cases the institutions that conducted the shares belong to the public sector and comprise the Public Defender and the Public Ministry. 457 (71.9%) of cases had their origin in the private offices prescription. 470 (73.9%) of the cases are filed by residents of the city of Ribeirão Preto. Regarding requests for oral antidiabetics, it was observed that among those pleaded, there was predominance, 122 (19%) of gliptinas, followed by glitazones, which corresponded to 31 (4.9%) of the requests. Regarding the requests in which the election referred to insulins, the most frequently requested were the long-acting (glargine and detemir), resulting in 397 (62.4%), followed by those of ultra-rapid-acting (lispro, apart and glulisine) which resulted in 357 (56.1%) of the actions. In 17 (2.7%) cases the demands contained medicines already included in the federal list of free supply of drugs; however in the years in which they were requested, there was no regular supply of them, which may have raised the request via court. Of the 636 cases, 163 (25.6%) had a request for materials and / or supplies. Out of these, the majority, 111 (17.5%) comes to materials and supplies related to administering insulin through multiple daily injections and 88 (13.8%) actions requested materials and supplies related to the use of continuous infusion pump of insulin. Knowing the reality of the legalization of the right to health in DM, allows users to collect data about how this phenomenon occurs. Moreover, results in concerns about what has been relevant to the decisions of the judiciary. Finally, these results can serve as a basis for a restructuring of the services in question for new solutions to be presented to resolve the situations detected, besides promoting reflection on what actually is meant by the right to health

Abstract:

L’essor de mouvements islamistes - ou d’inspiration islamiste - et de leurs activités dans le monde contemporain exige l’étude de leur finalité et de leur rôle. Les discours et activités de ces mouvements, qu’ils fussent sociopolitiques ou religieux, et leur relation avec le monde laïque, sont variables. Le présent travail vise à analyser l’émergence et le développement de l’un de ces mouvements en France, le réseau islamique turc transnational de Fethullah Gülen (GM). La thèse présente d’abord le contexte idéologique et historique dans lequel le mouvement de Gülen s’est développé. L’expérience turque de la laïcité (laiklik) a influencé la forme et la stratégie d’expansion du mouvement à l’étranger, notamment en France où le modernisme turc a influencé une implantation relativement restrictive du modèle français. La thèse s’attache à montrer l’étroite interconnexion qui existe entre les activités éducatives, sociales, culturelles et économiques avec la hiérarchie du mouvement en Turquie et à travers son réseau international. Elle met en lumière les éléments fondamentaux sur lesquels repose le mouvement : ses ressources humaines, ses organisations, ainsi que son pouvoir financier mais explique aussi le rôle de l’idéologie de Gülen dans la mobilisation sociale ainsi que dans ses actions de légitimation. Elle montre que le succès de Gülen en France relève de la subtilité de sa stratégie de développement: le facteur islamique est cultivé dans la sphère privée et soigneusement écarté de la sphère publique. Enfin, le présent travail montre que le mouvement de Gülen est ambigu et il questionne son identité proclamée de mouvement apolitique, alors que le mouvement s’est illustré récemment dans l’arène politique contre le gouvernement turc. La thèse clarifie le développement du mouvement en France sur la base du concept d’Islam apolitique, et le pouvoir de mobilisation de ce dernier, grâce à la théorie de mobilisation des ressources via la structure organisationnelle, ses activités d’adaptation et de légitimation et son réseau et organisation hiérarchique
The rise of Islamic or Islamic-based movements and their activities in the contemporary world has required studying their aim and role. However, their discourses and activities, either as socio-political or as religious movements and their relation with the secular contemporary world are diverse. The present work aims to analyze the emergence and development of one of these movements in France, the transnational Turkish-Islamic based “Gülen Movement” (GM). The thesis presents first its ideological background and the historical context in which the GM grew. The experience of Turkish secularism (laiklik) influenced the form and the strategy of the GM abroad, especially in France where Turkish modernism influenced a relatively restrictive implementation of the French model. Then, it shows the close interconnection of the GM’s social, cultural educational and business activities in France, and the hierarchy of the Movement and its network at the national and international level. This thesis highlights the fundamental elements on which the Movement lays, human resources, organizations and financial power, and explains the role of the Movement leader’s ideology in human and social mobilization and legitimization activities. It shows that the GM’s success in France is due to a familiar formula in the installation process of its earlier development in Turkey as well as in other countries, and its capacity to balance visibility and invisibility of Islam respectively in the private and the public spheres. Finally, it shows that the GM has an ambiguous identity, and questions the future of a declared non-political movement, which recently illustrated itself in a political battle – still ongoing – with the current Turkish government. The thesis clarifies that the Movement’s development in France has been made possible by explaining the concept of non-political Islam, and its successful mobilization made possible by outlining resource mobilization theory through its opportunity organizational structure, adaptation/legitimization activities, and hierarchical/network organization

Abstract:

Interpersonal violence and abuse in New Zealand is so widespread it is considered a normative experience. Mental health nurses witnessing the inscribed effects of abuse on service users are lead to consider whether we are dealing with a breakdown of the mind or a breakdown in social or cultural connection (Stuhlmiller, 2003). The purpose of this research is to examine the cultural context which makes violence and abuse against women and children possible. In 2003, the public debate on prostitution law reform promised to open a space in which discourses on sexuality and violence, practices usually private or hidden, would publicly emerge. Everyday discourses relating to prostitution law reform reported in the New Zealand Herald newspaper in the year 2003 were analysed using Foucauldian and feminist post-structural methodological approaches. Foucauldian discourse analysis emphasises the ways in which power is enmeshed in discourse, enabling power relations and hegemonic practices to be made visible. The research aims were to develop a complex, comprehensive analysis of the media discourses, to examine the construction of harm in the media debate, to examine the ways in which the cultural hegemony of dominant groups was secured and contested and to consider the role of mental health nurses as agents of emancipatory political change. Mental health promotion is mainly a socio-political practice and the findings suggest that mental health nurses could reconsider their professional role, to participate politically as social activists, challenging the social order thereby reducing the human suffering which interpersonal violence and abuse carries in its wake.

Abstract Nursing plays a vital role in the whole medical system. Among all the medical personnel, nurses stay along side and care for the patients for the longest time. Their performances directly influence the effectiveness of the whole hospital. Doctors and Nurses help to alleviate patients’ pains and sufferings and the Gospel saves lost souls. Nursing ministry can fulfill the callings of both. Thus, it’s valuable to emphasize and study this subject. This study “The Nursing Ministry in Taiwan---A study of Nurses Evangelical Fellowship of Taiwan” (1982-2007) aims to investigate the development, core essence, value and influences of the Nurses Evangelical Fellowship in Taiwan ( NEFT). This study lays out the history context of nursing profession and history of how western medical and nursing sciences were brought into Mainland China and Taiwan through church medical and nursing ministries. Literature reviews and personal interviews are used as method in this study. Examples of two influential Canadian missionary nurses in mission history are described and discussed in this study, despite limited documentations on these two missionaries. All the materials and interview scripts are organized and listed in the study. The founding, development, and expansion of NEFT presented in this study are based on the materials including files, pictures, meetings records and magazines published by the NEFT. These materials, collected from volunteers, staff and ministers who have involved in NEFT for the past twenty-five years, explain the essence and influences of NEFT. This study concludes that with a healthy balance between theory and practice and spiritual grace, NEFT shall continue her development and is expected to continue the legacy of the Gospel-nursing integrated mission for generations to come, and to bring honor and glory to God!

Abstract The purpose of this study is to analyze and discuss on the correlation between the hospital accreditation results and the knowledge, attitudes and behaviors of nurse staffs to the 2007 version of Hospital Accreditation System (abbreviated to “2007-HAS” thereinafter). A cross-sectional and descriptive research design with self-administered questionnaire method was used for this study. The content of questionnaire was composed of three parts: the knowledge, attitude, and behavior parts, subjects ware randomly drawn from each of four studied hospitals. From the nurse who had experienced the accreditation operation of 2007-HAS, 100 subjects were randomly drawn from the four hospitals. Three hundred and sixty-one questionnaire were returned with 359 completely filled. Data collected were processed and analyzed with SPSS 15.0. The major statistical procedures applied included descriptive statistics, chi-square, independent t-test, one-way ANOVA, and Pearson’s correlation were applied for the gathered data. A p value of less than .05 was taken as the significant. The result shows that the ratings in the knowledge part of nurse staffs were fair, but that both the attitude and behavior parts were satisfactory. There was a tendency towards that the more their age and working experiences, the better in the attitude expression of nurse staffs. Additionally, nurse staffs with higher position have better evaluation in knowledge. The ratings of knowledge and behavior are increased with the increase of participation frequency in the education program of hospital accreditation. However, the scores in behaviors were lower in subjects had lower satisfaction on their acquired accreditation-related information. In conclusion, the behaviors and knowledge of nurse staffs display a positive correlation（r＝0.23, p＜.001）.So dese their attitudes and behaviors (r＝0.35, p＜.001). However, this study could not yet find any significant correlation between hospitals’ accreditation results and nurse-staffs’ knowledge, attitudes, and behaviors. According to this study results, there are some suggestion for faciliting the hospital to prepare for the accreditation process: (1) increase time and frequencies of the education programs on content of accreditation moniter the knowledge satisfaction for the nurse staffs; (2) establish a task-force of accreditation to assist nurse to familiarize to the procedures of on-site accreditation. The findings of this study can provide hospitals with referable materials in preparing on-site accreditation. Key word： nurse staff, hospital accreditation, , attitude, behavior

Abstract:

D.Litt. et Phil.
In an examination of the training of nurses in Swaziland from 1927 – 2007, this study argues that the actions of the Church of the Nazarene (CON) and the state, as well as local conceptions of gender, contributed to the introduction and advancement of training of young Swazi women as nurses at the Ainsworth Dickson Nurses’ Home. Aiming at opening a medical mission at Bremersdorp in the Manzini District in Swaziland in 1925, the CON entered into an agreement with the British Colonial government, whereby the latter provided the CON with a piece of land on which to establish the first hospital in Swaziland, which it would staff with a British physician and white nurses. This agreement began an enduring relationship between the CON and the Swaziland government, which saw not only the establishment of the Raleigh Fitkin Memorial Hospital (RFM) but also the inauguration of nursing training in 1927. This study argues that the endurance of this training programme was largely dependent on the government’s financial support and on the provision of medical workers by the CON. From the 1930 onwards, the government not only paid salaries for the teaching staff, but also provided funding for nursing students. Following the example of Florence Nightingale, the CON and the Swazi government agreed, in the 1930s, to train only Swazi girls as nurses on the job, using the RFM as the teaching hospital. This agreement proved very suitable to the Swazi context, where cultural understandings precluded the training of boys as nurses, yet, from the beginning, marking the training of nurses in terms of gender...
