Abstract

This paper outlines the development process of comprehensive clinical learning environment audit for all placements for student nurse on the education circuit in one Health District. The aims of the audit, the planning of the documentation, audit processes and personnel involved are explained. Difficulties and advantages of the system are discussed. The process, though time consuming, has been effective in terms of achievement of audit recommendations, service and education shared initiatives and improvement in staff morale.

Political principles in action: a critical analysis of Education and Training: Working Paper 10 and its implications for nurse education.

Education and Training: Working Paper Ten (WP10) (Department of Health 1989a) was published in October 1989. It was an integral part of Working for Patients (Department of Health 1989b) and as such was alleged to embrace the same fundamental principles. WP10 may result in the most significant change to nurse education in the UK since the 1949 Nurses Act, with variations in its funding, structure and organisation. Surprisingly, there has been relatively little discussion about this important development within the nursing press. The aim, therefore, of this paper is to evaluate WP10 within the context of the ideology which has underpinned social policy in the last 14 years. Firstly, Conservative Party policy will be explored, the WP10 itself will then be examined in order to assess how far such principles have been applied to nurse education through its implementation. It is intended that by this process of analysis further understanding will be gained about this policy and its potential consequences for the future of nursing.

"Methodological notes on empathy": further considerations.

This article updates and extends Jeannette Gagan's "Methodological notes on empathy," published in the January 1983 issue of ANS. The evolving conceptualization of empathy as a complex, intrapsychic, and interpersonal process suggests that the inconclusiveness and apparent contradictions of research to date might be substantially clarified by considering data from a multidimensional perspective. Attention to the conceptual bases underlying diverse measurement approaches is key to understanding the data produced. Notwithstanding the limitations of their paradigms and models for nursing, the debates and knowledge accumulated in other disciplines can inform a broad range of inquiry relevant to nursing.
