Recognizing abuse.

After years as a taboo topic, abuse has come "out of the closet" and is being talked about openly in society. Yet, while abuse in the workplace is being confronted, abuse within families still often goes unrecognized by outsiders, including by nurses. Failure of nurses to recognize abuse is unfortunate since frequently they are the first point of contact with the victim of abuse in the emergency room, clinic and home. Understanding and insight into the problem of family violence by nurses is critical in addressing this problem. Knowledge is crucial in planning strategies that will have the long-lasting effect of decreasing the cycle of abuse in families.

Model for cultural diversity in the radiology department.

This article describes a model used in the nursing profession to promote an understanding of cultural diversity among employees and patients of health care facilities. The model addresses six factors important in cultural expression: communication, space, social organization, time, environmental control and biological variations. Managers in radiology departments can use the model as the basis for an educational in-service for employees and to build diverse, yet cohesive, work teams. The model also can be used as the basis for further scientific investigation into cultural diversity in diagnostic imaging and radiation therapy.
