Hospital design. Room for improvement.

Psychiatric and orthopaedic patients treated in new or upgraded units rated their experience and treatment significantly higher than those on old wards. Length of stay on the new psychiatric unit was lower than in the old unit. Orthopaedic patients treated on a refurbished ward required fewer analgesics than those on the older ward. Patients treated in single rooms were more satisfied with their care than those treated in multiple-bed wards.

Promoting assertive behaviours in traditional societies.

Nurses have been encouraged to speak out, to exert power and to stand up for their rights as well as the rights of patients. Yet in many cultures strong assertive women are accepted less readily by both men and other women. The question then is: How can nurses in a traditional society be helped to develop assertive behaviours? Based on their experience in Malawi and Nepal, the authors identify the factors influencing nonassertive behaviours and present a model to foster appropriate behaviours in nurses in these and similar countries.
