Nurse education in Australian universities in a period of change: expectations of nurse academics for the year 2005.
In Australia, the education of nurses in the academic arena now has a decade of history which arguably represents advancement of the nursing discipline. Until the conduct of the study which is the subject of this report, however, expectations for the next decade were unknown. In order to provide information concerning the future of nursing education and related professional and social factors, and entire population of nurse academics in Australia was surveyed. Findings indicate that although advances have been made, there are a number of concerns regarding the rate of disciplinary development. These include parity of status with other academic areas, resource issues, the workload of nurse academics and the perception that there is lack of cohesiveness amongst nurses as a professional group.

Nursing research 'down under'.
1. The major constraints preventing psychiatric nurses from conducting research are lack of time and knowledge. 2. Nurses can be motivated to explore the possibility of conducting research without having necessary skills or knowledge to start. 3. The nursing profession must face its responsibility to support and nurture nurses' interests in conducting and using research.

A phenomenological study of families and psychoeducation support groups.
1. An essential characteristic for nurses is hope, which much be passed on to caregivers of people diagnosed with schizophrenia. 2. The sharing of experiences by families contributes to the development of a common human bond that facilitates understanding and acceptance of mental illness by significant others. 3. Empowerment of family caregivers increases their ability to deal with the illness and enhances the family's chance of living a normal life.

A brief mental fatigue questionnaire.
A brief mental fatigue questionnaire was administered to normal subjects and muscle-diseased, Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (CFS), recovered CFS and depressed patients. The questionnaire was found to have excellent internal consistency and discriminated effectively between CFS and depressed patients on the one hand and recovered CFS, normal and muscle-diseased patients on the other. However, the scale failed to discriminate between CFS and depressed subjects, who were found to experience qualitatively and quantitatively similar mental fatigue symptoms.

In vivo interactions of NAN-190, a putative selective 5-HT1A antagonist, with ipsapirone.
The actions of NAN-190, a putative 5-HT1A antagonist, were assessed in rats. The selective 5-HT1A agent ipsapirone suppressed operant responding, but this effect was not antagonised by NAN-190, which suppressed responding itself in a dose-related manner, and had additive effects when administered with ipsapirone. These data do not support suggestions that NAN-190 is a 5-HT1A antagonist. NAN-190 may be a 5-HT1A partial agonist which can antagonise effects of full 5-HT1A agonists.
