Nursing in genetics: current and emerging issues for practice and education.

This article focuses on genetics as a dynamic, rapidly expanding health care arena, offering nurses from all specialty areas new career opportunities. Community issues are examined, and the need for nursing research in genetics is identified. A synopsis of a recent national meeting that explored practice changes and the resulting implications for advanced education for nurses in genetics is discussed. Certification remains a controversial issue. Consensus is reached concerning the need to include genetic knowledge at the baccalaureate level. A panel discussion by students and recent graduates describes existing programs in nursing that offer a genetic specialty.

Behavioral strategies for the reduction of pain and anxiety associated with orthopedic trauma.

This study examined the efficacy of behavioral strategies in alleviating pain and anxiety associated with severe orthopedic trauma. Sixty-four patients with multiple fractures were divided into four groups: (1) control, (2) attention only, (3) EMG biofeedback-assisted relaxation, and (4) audiotaped relaxation training. All were measured over at least six sessions, or as long as hospital stay permitted. Significant between group differences were found on the following: systolic blood pressure, peripheral temperature, subjective units of discomfort, state anxiety, with a trend for use of sleep medications. No differences were found on other vital signs, EMG recordings, or other medications. EMG-biofeedback relaxation and relaxation training were relatively equivalent for all measures, and little or no change was observed for those patients who received attention only or served as controls.
