With the aging Canadian population expected to double within the next 15 years, the elderly are at the highest risk of developing incontinence. It is now recognised that incontinence can be successfully managed, and in many cases, resolved. A survey was conducted with seniors experiencing problems with incontinence who were receiving home care services. Results showed that incontinence has a significant impact on their lives. Seniors tend to mistakenly see the problem as an inevitable factor in the aging process; consequently many hesitate to seek information. In addition, they face barriers to receiving incontinence care that includes knowledge and access to services and resources. Nurses have the potential to take a leading role in reducing the problem of incontinence and in reducing the impact on the lives of seniors. In order to realize this potential, nurses need to be more aware of their attitudes towards incontinence and more informed about conservative treatment options. Some thought needs to be given to the role of the general nurse, and the role of a specialized nurse such as the nurse continence advisor.","PeriodicalId":80260,"journal":{"name":"Canadian journal of nursing leadership","volume":"12 3","pages":"13-7"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1999-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"21919328","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Three questions were developed and included: what variables do nurses use to define acuity; does variation exist between and among groups of nurses; and are there nursing activities taken for granted or overlooked that can contribute to the perception of acuity? The purposive sample included all the full time and part time nurses (11 RNs, 16 LPNs) working on the units. Focus groups were used to facilitate the data gathering for this qualitative study. Five themes were identified from the data and the program NUD*IST was used to visualize the relationships between the individual items and themes. Patient acuity was defined differently by the RNs and LPNs and is based on their reality and the realm of their mandated practice. A large category of indirect non patient related activities was found to contribute greatly to the nurses' perception of acuity. Two benefits of the study were: 1) provision of a breakdown of items nurses incorporate into their definition of acuity; 2) a list of categories to guide decision making when determining which category of staff is required to best meet the needs of the patients.","PeriodicalId":80260,"journal":{"name":"Canadian journal of nursing leadership","volume":"12 3","pages":"18-23"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1999-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"21919212","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Using the results of recent meta-analyses of job satisfaction, a conceptual framework was developed that predicted that work content (variety, autonomy, task identity and feedback) and work environment (ward facilities, collaboration with medical staff, cohesion amongst nurses, staffing, pooling and respected by others) would influence job satisfaction. A descriptive survey of 135 nurses employed in a 170 bed hospital was undertaken. Strongest predictors of job satisfaction were job variety, feedback and collaboration with medical staff. Other moderate correlates were cohesion amongst nurses and task identity. This study demonstrated that feedback from colleagues and supervisors should never be trivialised as a strategy to improve job satisfaction. Furthermore, the need to be considered as part of the health care team by the medical profession can be influenced by proactive workplace strategies and policies.","PeriodicalId":80260,"journal":{"name":"Canadian journal of nursing leadership","volume":"12 2","pages":"30-40"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1999-05-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.12927/cjnl.1999.19075","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"21919329","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Task force members were drawn from Medicine, Nursing and Social Work. The overall goal was to increase the quality of care that the interdisciplinary team could provide to their patients. This mandate encompassed three major tasks. First, to study the extent of awareness about the issue among health care professionals; second, to assess their needs for resources and education; and finally, to recommend and implement means of increasing the level of awareness of this health concern among professionals and patients. The task force members educated themselves about conjugal violence and developed a questionnaire that was distributed to health care professionals within the hospital. The number of individuals from each discipline who received the survey was proportionate to their actual number in the center and selected at random. Results of the survey indicated that all groups desired more information and education about the scope of the problem as well as means for assessing and intervening with patients who are abused. The task force developed a Conjugal Abuse Information Package, an Abuse Assessment Screen, a Public Awareness Program and an Ongoing Teaching Program for Health Care Professionals. This project provides an example of how an interdisciplinary health care team can successfully work together for the benefit of patients.","PeriodicalId":80260,"journal":{"name":"Canadian journal of nursing leadership","volume":"12 1","pages":"23-6"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1999-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"21912604","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
