the nightingale tracker: information technology for community nursing education.	the international health care delivery system is evolving to include an increased emphasis on community care and automated clinical information and communication systems. these trends are dramatically affecting nursing education in the u.s. as faculty consider the strategies needed to communicate with their students at multiple clinical sites, and to educate students to fulfill their changing practice roles. in response to these changes, fitne, inc. is using triangulated research methods to deve ...	1997	10175425
nightingale--a new perspective in nursing informatics education in europe.	the nightingale project, which is an eu financed project, is considered as essential in planning and implementation of strategy in training the nursing profession in using and applying healthcare information systems. therefore, nightingale gives a new perspective in nursing informatics education in europe. in 1997 some major goals of the nightingale project were accomplished. these achievements are described in this document.	1998	10179605
nightingale mm system--the work in progress.	a multimedia computer based system for the self-learning of nursing informatics has been designed as a part of nightingale project. a video thread has been designed as a central structure and "a real life anchor" for the abstract concepts related to the electronic patient record. the hypermedia structure of the application has been maintained through the mapping of illustrated it entries to specific points in the video sequences.	1998	10179620
nursing informatics education for advanced nursing practice.	this paper describes how nursing informatics content will be integrated into the education of advanced nursing practitioners at masters level. changes in health care, especially the need to deliver evidence based nursing care and the growing amount of health data, information and knowledge, require well educated advanced nurse practitioners to lead the nursing profession. the nursing informatics content for this level of nursing education is described and compared with national and international ...	1998	10179630

designing an information technology application for use in community-focused nursing education. nightingale tracker field test nurse team.	changes in healthcare are highlighting the need for nurse educators to include more community-focused clinical experiences in the nursing curriculum. because community experiences often require students to travel to clinics and patients' homes at multiple distant sites, nurse educators are concerned about how to best supervise their students and maintain reliable communication links. in light of these needs, fitne (formerly the fuld institute for technology in nursing education) undertook a 3-ye ...	2006	10194884

sowing the seeds of public health nursing--1920-39.	the florence nightingale international foundation and the florence nightingale international courses played an important role in the development of public health nursing leadership in europe and remain an outstanding example of international collaboration. through the international courses 203 nurses from 40 countries were prepared to organize and implement systems of public health nursing where none had previously existed; another 97 nurses were prepared for leadership as administrators and tea ...	2004	10342125
teaching students about nursing and the environment: part 1--nursing role and basic curricula.	since the time of nightingale, the phenomena of health, person, nursing, and environment have been considered central to nursing. however, of all the concepts, environment appears to have been the least explored, practiced, and researched. nursing education does not adequately prepare nurses to understand the impact of the environment on health or to implement environmental interventions. this 2-part series is designed to assist faculty in teaching this content. part 1 provides historical backgr ...	1999	10349818
health and nursing informatics education.	in europe, coordinated activities in healthcare informatics education started in the late 1980's with the establishment of european courses in health telematics. at the same time the european commission foresaw the need for spreading the knowledge of it in the healthcare sector. therefore the ec, since then, have supported the initiatives that aim to create awareness, stimulate diffusion, educate and train the users (healthcare professionals) in the application of information technology to the h ...	1998	10351863
curriculum development and courseware implementation using world wide web technology.	the curriculum development of medical informatics related courses and their adoption into the faculty curriculum is one of the main tasks of the present day educators. to this end the internet technology has supported this task. the internet was born in december of 1969 and has grown phenomenally since. its graphically interactive, user-friendly modality, the world wide web (www), is younger and growing even more explosively. by its nature, the www is a tool ideally and uniquely suited for the a ...	1998	10384567
'concerning our national honour': florence nightingale and the welfare of aboriginal australians.	florence nightingale was a prolific writer on many subjects from nursing to religion to hospital design and sanitary statistics. her writing on the indigenous people of australia is little known but should be of interest especially to those involved in the present desperate search for ways to improve the health of australia's first settlers. nightingale's evidence was second-hand, derived largely from missionaries, especially bishop salvado of the benedictine foundation of new norcia in western ...	1999	10401285
nightingalism: haunting nursing history.	this paper is concerned with determining how 'florence nightingale' functions in discourse about nurses and nursing. it argues that the nursing profession needs to recognise that the name 'florence nightingale' serves a political function that, even in the 1990s, is still used to construct certain truths about nursing praxis. more specifically, it argues that if the nursing profession wants to know how history affects its practice then we need to question the whole system of knowledge created ab ...	1999	10409971
auditory-visual stimulus pairing enhances perceptual learning in a songbird.	in many oscine birds, song learning is affected by social variables, for example the behaviour of a tutor. this implies that both auditory and visual perceptual systems should be involved in the acquisition process. to examine whether and how particular visual stimuli can affect song acquisition, we tested the impact of a tutoring design in which the presentation of auditory stimuli (i.e. species-specific master songs) was paired with a well-defined nonauditory stimulus (i.e. stroboscope light f ...	1999	10413550
meeting the need. a primary health care model for a community-based/nurse-managed health center.	long before the world health conference at alma-ata, when 113 nations agreed to incorporate the concepts and principles of primary health care in their health care systems (world health organization [who], 1978), nurses were practicing primary health care. indeed, such care has been practiced since the time of florence nightingale. here, in the united states, the records show that public health nurses were involved in numerous primary health care activities in the early and mid-1900s (fitzpatric ...	2004	10446544

professional closure: constructing the image of new zealand nursing 1880-1940.	the concept of professional closure is a sociological explanation for the way that professions limit their membership. from early in the nineteenth century the medical profession in new zealand promoted exclusionary closure strategies which ensured their control over the other health-related occupational groups. this paper examines the way that professional closure has shaped the development of nursing in this country since nightingale nurses arrived in new zealand in the 1880s, and how professi ...	1998	10481640

outcome evaluation in nursing in australia, 1960-1980.	while empirical evaluation of the outcome of patient care has come to the fore in recent years due to political initiatives, there has always been a professional interest by nurses in the end result of their care. a review of the literature shows that outcome evaluation was advocated for nursing as early as the 1860s by florence nightingale. this article explores the evolvement of outcome evaluation within nursing in australia, discussing its origins during the 1960s and 1970s. the measurement o ...	1998	10537570

one nurse's experience with technology.	this article examines the positive and negative aspects of working with a documentation and information management system from the unique perspective of a practicing home care nurse who was also a student. aspects of the nightingale tracker technology that are comparable with others used in home care, experiences of field testing, and the nurse's observations can help home care nurses see how this technology can benefit their practice.	1999	10562013
effects of song overlapping and alternating on nocturnally singing nightingales.	the timing of songs during vocal interactions in male passerines is an important component in territorial signalling as it can reflect information on the singer's state or possibly its quality. using interactive playback, i investigated effects of song alternation and song overlapping on the nocturnal singing behaviour of nightingales, luscinia megarhynchos. subjects timed their songs differently depending on whether the playback songs overlapped their songs or alternated with them. during overl ...	1999	10564608
an exploration of the potential benefits of pet-facilitated therapy.	there is mounting evidence to suggest that those who keep pets are likely to benefit from various improvements in health. despite founders of nursing such as florence nightingale advocating the importance of animals within the care environment, their integration into hospitals and other health care settings has been slow. the literature on animal-induced health benefits is reviewed and the conclusion is drawn that the potential benefits of pet therapy are considerable. it is suggested that nurse ...	1999	10624248
maximum daily energy intake: it takes time to lift the metabolic ceiling.	conventionally, maximum capacities for energy assimilation are presented as daily averages. however, maximum daily energy intake is determined by the maximum metabolizable energy intake rate and the time available for assimilation of food energy. thrush nightingales (luscinia luscinia) in migratory disposition were given limited food rations for 3 d to reduce their energy stores. subsequently, groups of birds were fed ad lib. during fixed time periods varying between 7 and 23 h per day. metaboli ...	2006	10685904

infection control: do we all have a role to play?	infection control became a recognised discipline in 1970. its principles, however, had been in existence for some time. in the middle of the nineteenth century, semelweiss showed the importance of hand washing in coping with the transmission of infections. better acceptance of semelweiss's idea came after pasteur, lister and koch related asepsis to the prevention of the spread of infection. florence nightingale, on the other hand, at about the same time, made a remarkable contribution to sanitat ...	2007	10723303

the politics of health promotion: influences on public health promoting nursing practice in ontario, canada from nightingale to the nineties.	the marked and significant differences in the various meanings ascribed to health promotion in professional literature provide evidence of the concept's evolution over the last half of the 20th century and testify both to the powerful influences of dominant ideologies and the invisibility of others. the "new public health" marks a return to a conceptualization of health that is consistent with a nursing paradigm and thus potentially useful in supporting nursing health promotion practice. to take ...	1999	10961264
[clinical nursing research. new standards for quality assurance for nursing and patient].	nursing as a health-service has a long tradition, nursing research however, a relatively short history. florence nightingale was the first to publish about nursing research in the year 1858. since nightingale, the need to study and improve the efficacy and efficiency of nursing has steadily increased. more than ever before, society needs nursing based on scientific knowledge and not just on unchallenged rituals and traditions. this scientific knowledge base can be acquired by clinical research. ...	2000	10969578
defining relationships and limiting power: two leaders of australian nursing, 1868-1904.	this paper analyses aspects of the relationship between nursing and medicine during 1868-1904, in terms of power, gender and authority. a biographical approach is used with a focus on two leading nurses in australia and their relationship with two leading medical practitioners. the first nurse is lucy osburn, the figurehead of the first generation of nightingale nursing in australia. the second nurse represents the second generation when nightingale nursing had largely won acceptance and was fir ...	2000	11022531

naturopathy, nightingale, and nature cure: a convergence of interests.	naturopathy is making a strong resurgence in many western countries, and its philosophical and theoretical basis has much in common with nursing theories of health. this article will give an overview of naturopathy, its origins in hippocratic medicine and nature cure, and its re-emergence during the victorian era in the context of a renewal of interest in health. the question is posed, 'to what extent did the nature cure movement of last century influence the thinking of florence nightingale?' a ...	2000	11033647
healing practices: trends, challenges, and opportunities for nurses in acute and critical care.	florence nightingale espoused a very holistic orientation in nursing. it was her belief that nursing should put the patient in the best possible condition for nature to restore or preserve health, to prevent or cure disease or injury. in other words, nurses should create environments in which healing can happen. complementary therapies and healing practices offer nurses and patients an expanded array of options to improve health and healing. this article provides an overview of complementary the ...	2000	11040548
caring in an environment of change and casemix funding.	caring has been defined by nurses and consumers of health care as an integral component of nursing. florence nightingale was the first nurse to describe an ethos of caring, and since then other theorists and clinicians have continued to support and develop a philosophy of care. studies have highlighted that patients and their families also value care. however, concerns have been expressed that the current health care ideology is making caring practices more difficult to enact. the new priorities ...	1999	11096791
[nurses' work in peru: origin and social conditions].	the study aimed at reviewing the history of the genesis and social formation of nurses work in peru in order to understand it according to women's social situation in the context of a masculine society organized under capitalism. thus, nursing formation was influenced by the nightingale school and the exercise of the peruvian nurses was characterized by the reproduction of social functions that are historically feminine, with a knowledge and practice subordinated to medical knowledge, that is ma ...	2000	11111696

an alternative sectional bedding system: the nightingale smart bed.	this article describes the nightingale smart bed, a unique three-sectional automatic profiling system from nightingale care beds. it is a two-in-one system in that it aids in the prevention and management of pressure sores while also helping nursing staff to move and handle patients. it maintains patients' independence, dignity and comfort and provides an alternative to alternating-pressure systems.	2005	11235276
environmental florence nightingales: nursing's new front line.	nurses comprise the largest health professional group in terms of number, and they can be found in almost every health care setting, including homes, schools, work sites, and hospitals. to a large extent, nurses have always been aware of environmental factors when doing their job, but the definition of environmental health nursing is being expanded. today, in addition to considering the possibility of environmental influences when taking patient health histories, evaluating symptoms, and conduct ...	2001	11333204
nursing provider wins payment for services to aids patient.	blue cross/blue shield of alabama refused to pay claims for nursing care provided by florence nightingale nursing service. the nursing service administered care to an aids patient whose employer provided health benefits through a plan that covered charges for private-duty nursing but not custodial care. the nursing service attempted internal reconciliation, and eventually had to file suit in u.s. district court and won. the appeals court rejected blue cross's claim that the employee retirement i ...	1995	11362238

what we know and how we know it: contributions from nursing to women's health research and scholarship.	in this first chapter, we trace the historical roots of nursing research and scholarship focused on protecting and promoting women's health. beginning with florence nightingale, modern nursing's first researcher, who focused on the health impact of women's daily lives through her detailed observations of human behavior. more recently, nursing's contributions to women's health over the past 30 years have redefined women's health, proposed new frameworks for understanding women's health; provided ...	2001	11439786
hygiene and health - the need for a holistic approach.	the holistic principles of hygiene and public health have contributed substantially to an increase in life expectancy by more than 30 years and in life quality since the beginning of the 20th century. frank, pettenkofer, nightingale, pasteur, lister, and koch have been pioneering protagonists of the holistic approach to hygiene and public health. socioeconomic development and related factors such as nutrition status and food hygiene, housing conditions, water supply and sewage systems, and educa ...	2001	11486260
respect for human dignity: a central phenomenon to philosophically unite nursing theory and practice through consilience of knowledge.	nightingale suggested that there should be no distinction between "men of thought" and "men of action" and that an "ideal" or philosophy should not be isolated but incorporated into everyday activities. this construct is analogous to the belief that nursing theory and nursing practice should be incorporated, and both should reflect a common central phenomenon. the pursuit of nursing knowledge by women of "thought" is not viewed as a central phenomenon but is an outcome of scholarly inquiry. outc ...	2001	11554531
a servant's heart: an analysis of nightingale's correspondence to mrs broomhead.	during a visit to the nightingale home at lea hurst, the authors discovered correspondence between florence nightingale and a former servant's wife. much of her correspondence that has been studied was to well-known people regarding major issues of public concern. this correspondence reveals nightingale's concern for people of all stations in life. nightingale's caring concern and strong religious faith are evident in each letter. these letters provide evidence of nightingale's lifelong commitme ...	2001	11558692

letters from a nightingale nurse.	mary cadbury was one of six daughters in a wealthy birmingham family, all of whom took up professional or unpaid philanthropic work. in 1873 mary began nurse training at the nightingale school, st thomas's hospital, and regularly sent letters to family and friends, which provide a graphic account of the experience of a nurse in the latter half of the nineteenth century.	1996	11618490
the influence of florence nightingale's image on liverpool nurses 1945-1995.	images of florence nightingale have been crystallised over time so that an iconoclastic image is frequently presented. using oral history as a research method, a convenience sample of liverpool nurses, spanning the period 1945-1995 discussed how this image had a bearing on them as nurses and on their practice. it would appear that during their training, lectures were about florence nightingale as a person and students were expected to emulate her. the influence of the image led to a rigorous att ...	1997	11618973

my dear harry: a life of henry bonham-carter.	henry bonham-carter was both a relative and the 'workhorse' of florence nightingale. his administrative skills contributed much to the development of nursing yet he is less well-known than his cousin. this article describes a recent exhibition in london to celebrate his life and involvement in nursing.	1995	11619065
nurses as observers and monitors: an australian experience 1930-1950.	during the time of nursing reforms being advocated by nightingale in the 1860s, the medical profession was also undergoing considerable change and reform. scientific developments were beginning to make an impact on the world of medicine, and health reformists were campaigning for public health initiatives. as part of this health reformation, nurses took on the tasks of observation and monitoring of patients (formally delegated to trainee doctors) within the wards of the general hospitals. this w ...	1999	11624212
the novel and nursing history: a consideration of potential sources.	the use of novels in general as a historical source is discussed in this paper. the author shows that, while they must be used with extreme caution, a novel can provide insight for the historian. literature concerning the role of novels for informing nursing history is reviewed in the paper. the novel jean becomes a nurse by yvonne trewin is considered in detail. the novel's aim, stated in its introduction, of encouraging readers to become nurses, is highlighted. aspects of the book's content ar ...	1999	11624213
women in mental health nursing: angels or custodians?	like other 'cinderella' services mental health nursing has received much less attention from historians than general nursing. however a study of its history can illuminate such issues as the division of labour, gender, images of nursing, professionalisation and unionisation. drawing on primary historical sources, including hospital archives and contemporaneous reports and journals, the author considers the role of women in mental health nursing, from its origins to the onset of the nhs in 1948. ...	2000	11624494
["the art of nursing" by florence nightingale, published by claud morris books limited and printed in 1946, which is considered a draft of "notes on nursing"].	there are three versions of "notes of nursing," that is nightingale's most famous work. recently a book that is considered a draft of nightingale's "notes on nursing," was published by claud morris books limited in 1946. this book is not contained in the "bio-bibliography of florence nightingale" by bishop and goldie. the publisher says about the source that this book is an entirely new and revised edition of miss florence nightingale's personal notes on nursing, first written in 1859. the publi ...	2000	11624626
men in nursing: ambivalence in care, gender and masculinity.	this paper briefly reviews some aspects of the history of men in nursing and suggests that for centuries men have been at the forefront of caring work, and that it was in the mid-nineteenth century when shifts in the nature of masculinity and femininity occurred, spearheaded by florence nightingale, which resulted in nursing becoming feminised. drawing on techniques of oral history, this paper presents the experiences of two men who pioneered the return of men into nursing, and how their work ch ...	2000	11624736

[the emergence of a professional identity among quebec nurses, 1890-1927].	as part of an important western trend, the professionalization of quebec nurses was initially characterized by the enormous challenge of rallying all nurses into adhering to a single professional model. the story starts in 1895 when an elite corps of english-protestant nurses established the canadian nurses association. these graduates of the montreal general hospital were quite active within the english canadian nursing movement promoting the ideal of the trained nurse, conceived by florence ni ...	1994	11639366
[nurses in immaculate white: an empty page in dutch historiography?].	until recently, the historiography of nursing in england and the netherlands was written from a traditional, 'whig-history' perspective. while focussing on famous leaders and examples such as florence nightingale in england and jeltje de bosch kemper in the netherlands, it told historical events in a chronological, narrative manner. the publication of a collection of essays by celia davies, entitled rewriting nursing history (1980), which used new sources, theories and methods from the social sc ...	1993	11640344
[tidyness and thrift. the exemplary role of religious women in nineteenth-century nursing].	the traditional view of nineteenth-century nursing in holland is anything but bright. the abominable conditions in hospitals and suchlike institutions, the incompetence of the lay staff recruited from the lower strata of society are invariably emphasised. slight improvements are only first noticeable at the end of the nineteenth century, particularly by the efforts of the deaconess' movement and pioneers like florence nightingale. this is a one-sided view. in catholic circles it was already in t ...	1993	11640345
magnetic cues trigger extensive refuelling.	long stretches of sea and desert often interrupt the migration routes of small songbirds, whose fat reserves must be restored before these can be crossed as they provide no opportunity for refuelling. to investigate whether magnetic cues might enable inexperienced migratory birds to recognize a region where they need to replenish their body fat, we caught and held thrush nightingales (luscinia luscinia) in sweden just before their first migration and exposed them to a magnetic field simulating t ...	2001	11689932

rethinking the critical care environment: luxury or necessity?	rethinking the critical care environment, an implicit call to change, can catalyze a return to nursing's intellectual roots. healing environments, as envisioned by florence nightingale, involve system-level changes that require effective negotiations on behalf of our patients and ourselves. the nurse-patient relationship is central to the patient's environment and requires a comprehensive understanding of healing. only nurses can articulate the changes necessary to ensure quality nursing care, a ...	2001	11759352
advancing nursing scholarship through the interpretation of imaginative literature: ancestral connectedness and the survival of the sufferer.	imaginative literature has played an important role in nursing practice and education since the time of florence nightingale. used primarily as an exemplar, however, its potential has not been realized fully by nurses. this article addresses the use of imaginative literature in scholarly inquiry. often considered the aegis of literary critics and philosophers, the formal discipline of literary criticism enables the nurse to identify concepts and to generate theoretic explanations about human phe ...	2001	11763370
research strategies for clinicians.	if there is a story waiting to be told about nurses and research, it is this: research is part of our past, our present, and our future. research gives "caring" a mental muscle that makes it stronger than caring would be without it. since the crimean war, research has been a foundational cornerstone of the profession. florence nightingale espoused caring and human touch but not without also observing and measuring important patient outcomes that identified the spread of infection via human conta ...	2001	11778347
reactions from the medical and nursing professions to nightingale's "reform(s)" of nurse training in the late 19th century.	in 1860, the nightingale school of nursing opened at st thomas's hospital, london. florence nightingale's overriding raison d'etre in the setting up of this foundation was a replacement of the old fashioned nurse (caricatured by mrs gamp-an "ignorant and immoral drunkard") by the highly trained, and eminently respectable "lady-nurse". while this change met with a great deal of approval from the lay public and the majority of the nursing profession, a minority of the latter together with the bulk ...	2002	11807214
a nightingale-based model for dementia care and its relevance for korean nursing.	this article addresses the synchrony between a western middle-range theory of care for persons with dementia and traditional korean nursing care. the western theory is called a need-driven, dementia-compromised behavior model and is heavily influenced by the assessment categories outlined in nightingale's work. this model is presented as congruent with nightingale's work and then viewed from the perspective of traditional korean nursing. several congruencies and a few incongruencies are found be ...	1999	11847637

energy: a bridging concept for nursing science.	a philosophical inquiry into the concept of energy revealed two ideas of energy across multiple disciplines. analysis of the conceptual models of nightingale, levine, and rogers supported the presence of two paradigmatic views of energy in nursing science that, while divergent, share a common theme. the outcome of this inquiry leads to the tentative belief that there is unity in diversity and may perhaps lead to refinement of existing nursing theory and a more congruent framework for scientific ...	2001	11873327
