Collaboration between community nurses and nursing faculty using substance abuse prevention focus groups.

Collaboration between community nurses and nurses from a university who conducted focus groups is discussed. The focus groups explored why low-income, inner-city, white women of childbearing age did not abuse drugs. This partnership effort resulted in positive, successful outcomes for both groups of nurses and yielded culturally sensitive information that may be useful in preventing substance abuse. Methods of facilitating this collaboration and results of our joint endeavors are explored.

Multicultural students' perceptions of nursing as a career.

Junior year students (= 276) at a culturally diverse, urban high school were surveyed to examine how their perceptions of nursing compared with their perceptions of an ideal career. Findings indicate that significant differences exist among cultural and racial groups and between genders. Recommendations are made to increase recruitment of multicultural students into nursing.

Involving the target population and their providers in evaluation of substance abuse videos.

Substance abuse prevention and case finding are serious challenges to nurses who care for pregnant women and their infants. Audiovisual media can be useful in helping these nurses and their patients. This article discusses the insights of pregnant, low-income, minority women and their health care providers regarding selected substance abuse prevention videos. Focus group sessions were used to elicit valuable information, not only about reactions to substance abuse media but on their use in facilitating communication between patients and providers. Through this process, collaborative relationships were fostered among pregnant inner-city women, nurse clinicians, and nursing faculty, all of whom share a concern about substance abuse and an interest in working together to combat the problem.
