What nurses think of library services: a research study.

The need for more research in nursing has been highlighted by many organisations and official bodies. However, there is evidence to suggest that many nurses involved in research are reluctant to use libraries. This study aimed to ascertain the attitudes of nursing researchers towards libraries by means of questionnaires and interviews. A five-page questionnaire was sent to 289 nursing researchers throughout the UK in July 1994. Common problems found by the researchers were lack of time to get to the library (67 per cent), the library not having the information required (60 per cent) and the library being too far away (40 per cent). The author suggests that nurses and researchers should work more in co-operation with the librarian.

[Tendencies of life quality in the scientific nursing production].

This study is characterized by bibliographical research of life quality, undertaken the BDENF and LILACS databases, at the BIREME Virtual Library. Nursing magazines rated as B and C international and B national were also researched by QUALIS/CAPES. The results obtained indicated that the production of knowledge on the topic being discussed is limited to situations of health problems, especially in specific groups. The production is still restricted to graduate courses, which limits the circulation among its peers.

Research application: teaching staff nurses to use library search strategies.

Journal reading is a major mechanism for disseminating research but much goes unread by practicing nurses. A survey revealed the 10 most frequently read journals are primarily of a clinical/technical nature. To encourage reading of research, we organized a series of library sessions to familiarize nurses with the library and modern search strategies. Over half of the 77 nurse participants indicated they had not visited the library in six months and were less than confident in their library skills. Hands-on experiences, including computerized literature search, gave nurses an opportunity to learn techniques for locating research articles.

Transcultural nursing: a selective review of the literature, 1985-1991.

This paper reviews selected work, published in nursing journals between 1985 and 1991, on the subject of transcultural nursing. The papers were selected by the use of a computerized literature search at the Royal College of Nursing library, using the keywords transcultural, multicultural, crosscultural and cultural. The benefits and limitations of such an approach will be discussed along with an introduction to transcultural nursing. The journal papers were then reviewed under eight headings, theory and concepts, nurse education, health education and patient teaching, clinical, counselling, sexuality, care of the child and research. Common themes and problems are discussed.
