Family recovery from alcoholism. Mediating family factors.

The problems families face during recovery from alcoholism are complex and pervasive. Sobriety for the alcoholic without concurrent alterations in family member relationships and improved family functioning too often leads to relapse and the demise of the family unit. The degree to which a family is able to modulate demands, use resources, implement effective coping strategies, and make necessary relationship adjustments may determine the extent to which treatment effects will be maintained. For those families who have successfully worked together to overcome the negative effects of alcoholism, the experience becomes a major catalyst to continued growth, maturity, and a healthier lifestyle. The nurse has a significant role in assisting the family with early recovery needs and in developing new behaviors for maintaining therapeutic gains.

Understanding research articles. A pilot study of critical reading of research publications.

Developing nurses' ability to understand and evaluate research articles for potential application to practice is a challenge for staff development professionals. Articles are laden with difficult terminology and may seem too difficult. Yet valuable insights for improving patient care rest within the literature. In this article, the authors describe an instructional tool, designed in the federal nursing sector, called Critical Reading of Research Publications (CRRP). The CRRP is an independent study program that helps small groups of nurses increase research understanding while reading relevant articles of clinical interest.
