Nasogastric and nasointestinal feeding tube placement: an integrative review of research.

The authors present a review of the research on various methods for determining placement of nasogastric and nasointestinal feeding tubes. They also discuss research on associated risk factors, complications specific to critical care patient populations, and techniques for postpyloric placement. They present research consensus, recommendations for practice, and implementation strategies.

Interactive process of conducting and utilizing research in nursing service administration.

The authors report on a project that evolved from a single-purpose project--research use in nursing service administration--to a multipurpose process. The project team initially intended to conduct a classic research use project to develop management interventions to improve job satisfaction. The team eventually conducted three basic research projects and systematically applied this knowledge to the practice of nursing service administration. The members of the team, who came from academic and service settings, collaborated in a dynamic and interactive process of generating and applying knowledge. The products of this work were immediately useful in the setting and can be used more broadly in organizing and managing the care of hospital patients.

Preferences for decision-making autonomy.

Nurses' lack of autonomy has been identified as a leading cause of job dissatisfaction, but attempts to increase satisfaction by increasing autonomy have not always been successful. This survey of 356 randomly selected staff nurses and 130 head nurses from 16 hospitals extends previous work by identifying the preferred level of involvement in 21 patient care and 21 unit operation decisions. Staff nurses agreed on 60 percent of the decisions and, in general, preferred independent decision-making for patient care decisions and shared decision-making for unit operation. Head nurses indicated that staff nurses should have a higher level of autonomy than the staff nurses indicated for themselves.

Aluminium in bone from patients with renal failure.

Some samples of bone from patients with renal failure contained more aluminium than others, and the concentration tended to be highest in patients who had been uraemic or on dialysis longest. The significance of the association of raised concentrations of aluminium in bone with renal failure is discussed.

Infusing research into practice to promote quality care.

This article describes the Iowa Model of Research in Practice, a heuristic model used at the University of Iowa Hospitals and Clinics for infusing research into practice to improve the quality of care. The components of the model are presented with examples. The impact of the model on patient, staff, and fiscal outcomes is delineated.
