A simulation program that teaches clinical decision making in nursing.

The aim of this project is to produce a multimedia computer simulation program, to be used in the training of clinical decision making with nursing students in Swedish schools of nursing. The program is based on a number of clinical scenes filmed in a ward and dealing with the postoperative care of a patient who has undergone reconstruction of the crucial ligament. The student's task is to assess the need for care for a newly postoperative patient and to plan the care for the first 24 hours. Special emphasis is given to pain assessment, pain relief and drug administration.

Quality of life of patients treated with abdominoperineal resection or anterior resection for rectal carcinoma.

The functional results of surgery for rectal carcinoma were evaluated in 68 patients, 37 treated with anterior resection and 31 with abdominoperineal resection. The patients answered a questionnaire 8-84 months after surgery regarding bowel habits, urgency, incontinence and quality of life. Those who had undergone anterior resection had significantly more frequent bowel movements per day than those treated with abdominoperineal resection, and problems with urgency and flatus. Significantly more patients treated with anterior resection used medication to achieve normal bowel function. Despite the problems of frequent bowel movement, urgency, flatulence and the need for frequent medication, the patients who had undergone sphincter-saving procedures seemed to have a better quality of life than those treated with abdominoperineal resection.
