Abstract

Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a chronic, complex neurologic disease of unknown origin characterized by exacerbations and remissions. This demyelinating disease of the central nervous system primarily affects young adults. Lately, research has provided new and important findings regarding various etiologic possibilities. Knowledge of comprehensive care is necessary not only for acute hospitalizations but also for individualizing daily home activities for MS patients and their families.

Hospitals' responses to nurse staffing shortages.

Hospitals have used a mix of short-term and long-term strategies to deal with nurse shortages, particularly efforts emphasizing nurse education, competitive compensation, and temporary staff. Interviews with health care leaders from Round Five of the Community Tracking Study indicate that these activities, in conjunction with other factors, have assisted in reducing shortages of hospital nurses. However, hospitals' actions have increased costs and raised concerns about their potential impact on patient care. Additionally, a large degree of doubt exists among hospitals about their ability to meet future nursing needs.
