Implementing an ethics committee in rural institutions.

Ethical conflicts occur in rural as well as in urban healthcare institutions. One means of addressing these complex issues is through interdisciplinary discussions by a bioethics committee. There are, however, social, economic, geographic, and demographic variations unique to both environments that can impact ethical issues, and these must be addressed when such a committee is implemented in either setting. The authors describe the rural variations and the implications for nurse administrators who often assume an active role in planning and organizing bioethics committees.

Rural U.S. women: traditions and transitions affecting health care.

Warren (1972) proposed a means for determining differences between rural and urban social contexts that expands on the population definitions. Essentially, these differences are geographical, social, and economic in nature, and the health status of individuals in either setting may be affected by these variations. The health issues of women that evolve from these rural factors are the focus of this article.

Rogers' adoption model in the implementation of change.

In this era of marketplace competition and cost containment, the most efficient methods of implementing change must be utilized. Rogers' adoption of innovation theory (1972; 1983) provides a framework to identify human responses to innovation/change. The model's six categories exemplify varying degrees of acceptance or rejection behaviors. In the current paper employee responses to the implementation of a new computer system in a larger hospital in the upper midwest with implications for clinical nurse specialists will be discussed.

A rating scale to evaluate research posters.

Many nursing conferences include research reports in the form of oral reports, symposia discussions, and poster presentations. To assist faculty, students, and clinicians in the systematic preparation and critique of poster presentations, the author discusses her 30-item research-poster appraisal tool (R-PAT). The tool assists nurses in preparing nursing research posters, guides nursing faculty in grading research posters that are a class assignment, and lets viewers systematically critique posters.
