Clinical journal: a tool to foster critical thinking for advanced levels of competence.

Rapid changes in the health care system and the challenge of meeting complex patient care needs require that nurses function at the competent, or higher, levels of expertise. Advanced levels of competence are facilitated through development and application of critical thinking abilities. Journal writing is a tool that can be used by CNSs and other nurses to improve basic thinking abilities and application of critical thinking for clinical decision making. Guidelines are presented for writing this type of clinical journal and for providing feedback to others.

Ethnic identification, social support and coping strategies among three groups of ethnic African elders.

This study explores coping strategies as influenced by ethnic and social identity. The sample consisted of 156 ethnic African elders of African American, Afro-Barbadian and Afro-Haitian in origin aged 62 years old and older. Data were collected using the Ethnic Minority Identification scale, the social Relationship Scale and the Jaloweic Coping Scale. Results show that in some cases there is a correlation between ethnic identity and coping strategy. Only among Afro-Haitians was coping positively related to social support.
