Evaluating alternative treatments for HIV infection.

Complementary and alternative medicine (CAM) offers views of disease and its treatment that may not compatible with western medicine. In this review of CAM, the authors provide a strategy by which to evaluate CAM in advanced nursing practice. The strategy is shaped by critiques of how to study CAM in light of the relationships that nurses share with their patients. Expert nursing knowledge of HIV-infected patients, in combination with acquired understandings of CAM, offer nurses additional interventions to use in the management of HIV-related symptoms.

Welfare reforms and services for children and families: setting a new practice, research, and policy agenda.

This article addresses barriers to family and community self-sufficiency. Many of these barriers have resulted from policymakers' biased definitions of self-sufficiency and related social program reforms. Social workers need to understand the worldviews and values that underlie political definitions of self-sufficiency to have a greater influence on social policy. This article describes a more appropriate definition of self-sufficiency and illustrates its usefulness with an example of community research conducted to identify social support needs. The author recommends changes in social work practice and education that can enable the profession to have a stronger influence on social policy. Finally, to achieve this social justice goal and integrate policy development into clinical and community practice, the author proposes new research and policy agendas for the profession.

Educational learning needs of ANAC members--1991.

One of the purposes of the Education Committee of ANAC is to assess the learning needs of ANAC members. In order to achieve this purpose the Educational Needs Assessment tool was developed. It was included in the July 1991 issue of ANACDOTES and sent to the 1,116 members of ANAC. One hundred and fifty-five ANAC members responded (14%) by the cut-off date of August 15th. Demographic information about the respondents was compared to demographic data about ANAC members; the top three interest and expertise areas in the primary, secondary, tertiary prevention of HIV infection categories were identified. The Educational Needs Assessment tool can be used in other settings to plan programs and identify learning needs.
