Abstract

The nursing care of cancer patients has increased in complexity over the past 20 years. Cancer nurses are offering highly specialized care that is frequently delivered in teamwork in hospitals as well as in the community. Cancer nursing uses the development of nursing science and research. Nurses could not be accountable for their practice if this expert knowledge was not made accessible to them. This article focuses on nursing science as a new development in clinical nursing practice in Germany, it identifies why cancer nursing is so demanding on part of the patients, their families (significant others) and professional nurses. Research studies are discussed to demonstrate how scientific knowledge can support the nursing expert in the development of cancer nursing care, a well developed domain of nursing science.

[Sex education in practice and science in Germany].

Sex education in Germany has a history full of conflict and ideological change between emancipatory, reforming, and repressive tendencies. As a science, sex education has only recently gained independence from its mother disciplines theology, medicine, psychology, and sociology and at the same time has taken a critically constructive position towards sexual science. Its topics range from dissemination of knowledge about biological processes and contraception to relationship concerns, sexual orientation, gender issues, sexual transgression, moral, and ethical questions. Sexual socialization happens nearly everywhere. Sexual education takes place mainly in families, elementary education, and school, but increasingly also in all other areas of education, social work, and health service. Its clientèle are no longer exclusively children and adolescents but increasingly adults of every age group. Subjects such as AIDS, sexual abuse, and teenage pregnancy have contributed to governmental funding of projects and training in sex education. Thus, sex education still reaches from mere protection from dangers to fostering or maintaining psychological health.
