Online journals: access and support for evidence-based practice.

Abstract

Online journals are one of the tools useful to nurses in providing patients with evidence-based nursing care. Available 24 hours a day and capable of including manuscripts of nearly unlimited size, these journals expedite dissemination of information to readers by both their electronic format and the changes that can be made to shorten the publication process. They are, however, subject to the same requirements for critique applicable to print journals, requirements that are essential in evaluation of evidence for practice.

[Acute and transient psychotic disorders (ICD-10: F23). Empirical data and implications for therapy].

The defining clinical features of acute and transient psychotic disorders (ICD-10: F23) are an acute onset and a duration of psychotic symptoms not exceeding 1-3 months. Previous empirical investigations show that patients with this diagnosis have a favourable prognosis, but also a high risk of relapses (58-77%). The diagnostic stability in the further course of illness seems to be low (34-73%) with a frequent diagnostic change to schizophrenia and affective disorders being observed. As yet, data from controlled clinical trials regarding therapy do not exist. The implications for the treatment of acute and transient psychotic disorders are discussed with this background.
