Physicians' perceptions of nurse-physician collaborative practice
Title
Physicians' perceptions of nurse-physician collaborative practice.
Creator
Thomson, Donna J., Florida Atlantic University, Schuster, Eleanor
Abstract/Description
Nurse-physician collaborative practice is different from and greater than nurse-physician collaboration. Collaboration is a single, temporal event that can occur intermittently in the day to day practice of health care. Nurse-physician collaborative practice is a dynamic process, a commitment to interact on a professional level, that empowers the participants to blend their talent, to achieve a goal that neither can do alone. Despite the fact that collaborative practice demonstration units in...
Show moreNurse-physician collaborative practice is different from and greater than nurse-physician collaboration. Collaboration is a single, temporal event that can occur intermittently in the day to day practice of health care. Nurse-physician collaborative practice is a dynamic process, a commitment to interact on a professional level, that empowers the participants to blend their talent, to achieve a goal that neither can do alone. Despite the fact that collaborative practice demonstration units in the early 1980's showed positive outcomes for patients, nurses, physicians and hospitals, this practice has all but disappeared. This researcher believes this practice modality to be vital in today's health care environment. This study, therefore, addressed the first step in reemergence by asking physicians to define the term, nurse-physician collaborative practice. Over 50% of this select population were able to provide definitions consistent with the health care literature.

The review of literature for the study examined research focusing on adolescents in labor and delivery, caring and adolescent pregnancy and caring from current nursing literature perspective.

The review of literature for the study examined research focusing on adolescents in labor and delivery, caring and adolescent pregnancy and caring from current nursing literature perspective. Recalled labor and delivery experiences were analyzed phenomenologically in order to extract the meaning of the experience. Five recently delivered primiparous mothers were interviewed. Interviews followed guidelines designed to elicit descriptions of nurse caring. Interviews were tape recorded and transcribed. Data were reduced through a search for themes, and analyzed using guidelines of Colaizzi (1978). The findings were discussed with four of the participants and they all agreed that their perceptions of the experience had been described. Results of the study produced an exhaustive description and fundamental structure of nurse caring.

influence of feminism on nursing and its relation to nursing education: 1970-1994
Title
The influence of feminism on nursing and its relation to nursing education: 1970-1994.
Creator
Shinners-Gillenwater, Jean., Florida Atlantic University, Schuster, Eleanor
Abstract/Description
This is a historical research study of the influence of feminism on nursing and nursing education from 1970 to 1994. Historical research contributes to the knowledge of the underpinnings of nursing education practices and the socialization process of nurses as a profession within the male, patriarchal system of medicine. This inquiry identifies select nurse-woman leaders and their contributions in incorporating a new value system for education and nursing based on feminist principles. The...

Historical research contributes to the knowledge of the underpinnings of nursing education practices and the socialization process of nurses as a profession within the male, patriarchal system of medicine. This inquiry identifies select nurse-woman leaders and their contributions in incorporating a new value system for education and nursing based on feminist principles. The implications of this paradigm shift for nursing education, practice and research are discussed.

Show moreMarvin Weisbord's (1992) Future Search Conference model is an innovative organizational planning method recently employed by the College of Nursing at Florida Atlantic University in the preliminary stages of the Global Environmental Project for Healing and Health. The purpose of this grounded theory study was to identify the basic social process (BSP) of a particular social world: the future search conference. A purposive sample of six participants volunteered to describe their perspective on "what happened" and "what was going on" at the conference entitled, "Discovering Common Ground: The Future of Health, Healing and Environment," February 23-25, 1995. Glaser and Strauss' (1967) constant comparative method of data analysis was used to identify the BSP, "Finding Common Ground." This enabled conference participants to cope with the unique conditions of a future search conference (sequestration, diverse population, and self-management) while accomplishing the goals of the conference.
