Monitoring activities in a long-term ward.

Moving the emphasis in long-term ward settings from just keeping people clean, dry and fed to providing improvement in their quality of life is a laudable aim, but this article, based on a six-month project, suggests that doing so is not as easy as it might first appear. The authors describe the development of an intervention programme for elderly women in a long-term ward and discuss some of the difficulties encountered in producing positive changes.

Incidence of decompression illness in amateur scuba divers.

This paper reports changes in the incidence and manifestations of decompression illness in amateur scuba divers in the United Kingdom (UK) between 1981 and 1993, a period during which the popularity of the sport increased. Since 1981, there has been a trend to increased annual incidence of decompression illness, but the large yearly fluctuations reflect a considerable annual variation in the numbers of dives. The need for recompression facilities to treat decompression illness in amateur scuba divers in the UK should take account of this greater public participation in the sport, and should also allow for large annual fluctuations related to meteorological and financial factors.

Effects of Web-based instruction on learning behaviors of undergraduate and graduate students.

Web-based instruction requires transformation from traditional teaching strategies to directed independent learning. Careful attention must be given to the creation of effective interactive learning experiences that foster student-to-student and student-to-faculty interactions (l). How content is learned, the effects of the use of computers on learning, and perceived barriers to learning must all be evaluated. Students' responses to Web-based education must also be considered. This article describes the response of 58 undergraduate and 13 graduate students to their initial experiences with Web-based instruction (WBI). While the educational levels of the students and the courses in which the transition to WBI took place differed for the two groups, their computer expertise did not, and similar responses to Web-based learning were noted. Differences in the types of courses and the expertise of the two faculty with regard to WBI also contributed to the production of some dissimilar responses.
