A staff development programme to support the incorporation of the McGill model of nursing into an out-patient clinic department.

In order to adopt a nursing model as a framework for professional practice in an out-patient department of a paediatric tertiary care hospital, a staff development programme was instituted. The nursing model chosen was the McGill model of nursing, which emphasizes the complementary role of nursing and focuses on people's health, strengths and potentials. Staff development initially consisted of a journal club and clinic nurses were exposed to such concepts as family, coping, and health. As the nurses acquired theoretical knowledge, the staff development programme was concerned with applying this knowledge to clinical situations. As well as the nursing in-service training, clinical supervision with small groups of nurses was instituted. A study showed that staff development helped nurses to build a larger repetoire of family nursing skills. The nursing role in the department evolved. Nurses developed a more professional practice and provided health services which were complementary to those offered by other health professionals.

The human needs model of nursing.

Nurses in the United Kingdom spend much time attempting to fit British nursing practice into the theoretical framework of American nursing models. This is often a manipulative process in that it seeks to establish positive links with a care delivery system totally unlike our own. In the present paper the authors detail the process of establishing a new nursing model which integrates nursing curricula, education and practice to meet the needs of patients, staff and students within their own health district. An over-emphasis on lower levels of human need is common within nursing practice, which, although often blamed upon lack of human and financial resources, is also due to practitioners' misconceptions. The latter are invariably the result of a lack of an adequate or overt, practice orientated, conceptual framework. The Human Needs Model of Nursing adapts Maslow's concept of human needs to create such a conceptual framework for practice. It places equal emphasis on those patient problems which arise as the result of unmet needs at higher levels as well as those at lower levels, thereby acknowledging the holistic and dynamic nature of man.

A model nursing computer resource center.

Nursing graduates are required to demonstrate computer technology skills and critical reflective thinking skills in the workplace. The authors discuss a model computer resource center that enhances the acquisition of these requisite skills by students in both an associate degree and vocational nursing program. The computer resource center maximizes student learning and promotes faculty effectiveness and efficiency by a "full-service" approach to computerized testing, information technology instruction, online research, and interactive computer program practice.

A model nurse practitioner-managed smoking cessation clinic.

PURPOSE/OBJECTIVES: To describe an intensive nurse practitioner (NP)-managed smoking cessation clinic that evolved from a primary-care quality-management initiative. DATA SOURCE: Published articles, abstracts, books, clinical experience, and clinical data. DATA SYNTHESIS: Smoking continues to be the leading cause of preventable deaths in the United States and accounts for 87% of all lung cancers. Although smoking is responsible for nearly 30% of all cancer deaths, smoking prevalence rates remain stagnant in adults and are continuing to increase in adolescents. Twenty-five percent of all Americans smoke. An NP-managed clinic was developed within a large teaching hospital located in the southeastern United States based on the Agency for Health Care Policy and Research guideline for smoking cessation. The clinic provided effective smoking cessation interventions that can be replicated by experienced nurses with a smoking cessation background. All nurses have opportunities to assist patients to stop smoking through brief counseling and minimum interventions. CONCLUSIONS: Nurses can effectively manage an intensive smoking cessation clinic that is utilized by the interdisciplinary team to treat referrals. Cessation rates were high because therapies combined intensive behavioral sessions and pharmacologic approaches rather than either single modality. IMPLICATIONS FOR NURSING PRACTICE: Nurses can replicate this practice in a variety of healthcare settings. Innovations in clinical practice often facilitate research studies to further define effective approaches for smoking cessation. Nurses need to identify and target smoking as the serious health problem it is and conduct much-needed research on cessation approaches within the inpatient and outpatient settings.

Facilitating a multidisciplinary parent support & education group guided by Allen's developmental health nursing model.

Parents are generally the primary source of support and nurturing for children experiencing an eating disorder; yet, they often feel blamed for the illness. Guided by the developmental health model, the group focused on parents' competence and helped them share solutions; reframed situations related to development in adolescence and mid-life; and shifted the emphasis to process to help parents understand behaviors. Parents became partners in helping their children recover by sharing solutions and creating learning opportunities from adversity.
