Effects of delayed therapeutic intervention following zone II flexor tendon repair.
The importance of the timing of therapeutic intervention to the results of zone II flexor tendon repairs was retrospectively studied. Twenty-two patients were categorized as having had either early intervention (referral within the first postoperative week) or delayed intervention (referral between 1 and 3 weeks postoperatively). Patients followed a combined Kleinert/Duran program. Patients' results were calculated according to Strickland's formula for total active range of motion. In the early intervention group, 60% of the results were excellent and 40% were good; there were no fair or poor results. In the delayed intervention group, 50% of the results were excellent, 25% were good, 17% were fair, and 8% were poor. The difference between the two groups was not statistically significant. However, these results are clinically significant because a fair or poor result would reduce the patient's use of the affected digit and could lead to further surgical intervention.
Maternal learning needs during labor and delivery.
OBJECTIVE: To determine if the learning needs of mothers are met by nurses during labor. DESIGN: Descriptive survey with a longitudinal time frame. SETTING: Two hospitals in a midsized Canadian city. PARTICIPANTS: Fifty-seven women in their last month of pregnancy, selected at random from 276 eligible women referred by physicians. Final sample for analysis was 40. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: Data described patients, their expected learning needs before delivery, the teaching they received, and factors related to the experience. RESULTS: The majority of subjects wanted teaching in labor and reported that teaching was helpful, but that conflicts in teaching and differing expectations of staff were upsetting. Mothers' expectations and the teaching they received were congruent for some topics and incongruent for others. CONCLUSION: Results suggest a need for assessment of learning needs of women in labor, consistency among caregivers, and further study with a larger sample.
