Evaluation of group processes in the professional development of mental health nurses.

The purpose of this paper is to report on group process data for 41 registered nurses endorsed as psychiatric nurses. Profile analysis was used to evaluate the flatness of ratings of group interaction by two groups of participants. Accelerated professional development participants had non-flat rating profiles for their ratings of how far group sessions helped them to clarify or validate issues, focused on the 'reasons for' and consequences of session content, achieved resolution of different points of view, or promoted consensus and group cohesiveness. The peer consultation participants had a non-flat rating profile for overall group supportiveness, demonstrating that the participants felt less supported over time.

Perceptions of stressors and reported coping strategies in nurses caring for residents with Alzheimer's disease in a dementia unit.

A study was undertaken on the perceptions of stressors and coping behaviours in a group of nurses caring for residents with Alzheimer's disease in a dementia unit. The purpose of this paper is to report on the preliminary findings of the study. Repertory grid data were used to explore how nurses perceive residents, the stressors nurses experience in their work, and the coping strategies nurses use when caring for residents. The nurses identified 92 sources of stress, 683 coping behaviours and 708 coping strategies. Analyses of selected repertory grid data are presented and the stressors reported by the nurses are summarized. The coping strategies the nurses report using are classified into categories of adaptive and maladaptive responses to stress. In addition, the nursing implications of the coping strategies used by the nurses are also considered.

A rapid protocol for sexing chick embryos (Gallus g. domesticus).

A method for establishing the sex of chick embryos before the appearance or morphological differences between males and females has been developed. DNA was isolated from 5-7-day-old embryos by proteinase K digestion and subjected to polymerase chain reaction (PCR) amplification with W-chromosome specific primers. Sexing can be achieved within 1 day using as little as 1 ng template DNA.
