responding to the cultural and spiritual needs of clients.	spirituality has been central to nursing practice since the time of florence nightingale although for many years spiritual care has fallen into disuse. with the increasing movement toward holistic nursing care within a multicultural community, the need to integrate cultural sensitivity with spirituality has become essential. by incorporating spirituality and cultural dimensions into the plan of care, nurses can more holistically provide efficient and quality care within both the hospital and com ...	2000	11951251

'like a possession of the devil'. the diffusion of nightingale nursing and anglo-australian relations.	the main focus of this paper is on the difficulties lucy osburn experienced in transferring british ideals of nightingale nursing to an australian colony. neither nightingale nor osburn allowed for the impact of colonial culture and politics on the nurses in sydney. in particular, the improved economic and social prospects of the five nurses who accompanied osburn had a profound impact on their behaviour. as well, the political ambitions of the two men responsible for the invitation to the night ...	2001	12143443

henry currey friba (1820-1900): leading victorian hospital architect, and early exponent of the "pavilion principle".	the "pavilion plan" for hospital design originated in france in the 18th century and was popularised in england by john roberton and george godwin in the mid-19th century; the underlying rationale was that with improved ventilation the mortality rate (at that time exceedingly high) was significantly reduced. among the enthusiasts for this new style was florence nightingale (herself a miasmatist)--who had experienced astronomically high death rates in the hospital at scutari during the crimean wa ...	2002	12151691
florence nightingale and the transvisionary leadership paradigm.	power utilization and its relative substrate of leadership are essential components of professional change and development. florence nightingale, as the philosophical founder of modern, western, secular nursing, utilized a particular type of power now described as transvisionary leadership. this concept is shown to be integral to a larger paradigm designated as the stairstep leadership development model. by describing the specific type of power utilized by nightingale, it is then possible to ana ...	2001	12152455
the historical role and education of nurses for the care and management of sexually transmitted infections in the united kingdom: 1 role.	nurses have been involved in the management of sexually transmitted infections (stis) well before the era of florence nightingale. their role has varied from that of the technician, almoner, counsellor, and doctor's assistant, to one in which they are able to provide first line management of stis in nurse led clinics. however, changes to the role of the nurse have not been entirely through choice. it appears that nurses have often been called upon in times of crisis and need-their role often evo ...	2002	12181471
equine-facilitated group psychotherapy: applications for therapeutic vaulting.	in this day of high-tech, managed-care service delivery with an emphasis on medication and brief treatment, it is important for nurses to be aware of nontraditional treatment options that may be uniquely beneficial for some clients. although it may still be considered a novelty, including animals in the healing milieu is not a new idea. florence nightingale herself suggested that "a small pet animal is often an excellent companion for the sick, for long chronic cases especially" (nightingale, 19 ...	2002	12217223

[historical archives of italian nephrology: the role of women in the history of medicine and nephrology].	the aim of the present survey of the history of medicine is to provide a series of succinct assessments of the role of women in the development of nephrology. the inadequate role played by women in some areas of medicine underlines the trend that considers health history as part of external history modulating the branches of science. if "external" or social history considers women's role as marginal in many segments of society, no wonder they play a marginal role in the history of medicine. none ...	2006	12369049
developing a nursing perspective on spirituality and healing.	the author of this column presents an overview of selected research and nursing theoretical thinking on spirituality and then offers a beginning exploration of the interrelationships of spirituality and healing. work in both the totality and simultaneity paradigms is highlighted in the belief, following nightingale, that spirituality and healing are crucial concepts in both paradigms, although currently defined differently if at all. some nursing theorists give little or no attention to spiritua ...	2002	12387224
women dentists: the origins.	the pioneer women in dentistry are worthy of recognition and admiration. they broke the traditional barriers for their sex and set the standards for those who followed in their path as dental professionals. as medicine has its elizabeth blackwell, nursing its florence nightingale, so dentistry has its lucy taylor hobbs and henriette hirschfeld. in 1884, lucy hobbs wrote: "people were amazed when they learned that a young girl had so far forgotten her womanhood as to want to study dentistry." tod ...	2002	12519054
clinical application of the omaha system with the nightingale tracker: a community health nursing student home visit program.	the application of computer use in the clinical and educational arena needs to be emphasized for both the improved management of patient data and nursing knowledge. faculty commitment to automation of home visit documentation records was essential to sustain the trial of implementing the nightingale trackers in the clinical area. the nightingale tracker is a software program that automates the omaha system, a community-friendly nursing language that encourages a focus on health promotion. a team ...	2004	12544610

nostalgic and nostophobic referencing and the authentication of nurses' use of complementary therapies.	in recent years what can loosely be described as a sociology of complementary and alternative medicine (cam) has begun to emerge. although work has been conducted with lay therapists, orthodox practitioners, and consumers, overall, research in this area remains patchy and underdeveloped. despite its role at the forefront of integration, the sociological study of the apparent affinity between nursing and cam is virtually non-existent. this paper provides an exploratory analysis of how writers wit ...	2003	12614698
magnetic cues and time of season affect fuel deposition in migratory thrush nightingales (luscinia luscinia).	bird migration requires high energy expenditure, and long-distance migrants accumulate fat for use as fuel during stopovers throughout their journey. recent studies have shown that long-distance migratory birds, besides accumulating fat for use as fuel, also show adaptive phenotypic flexibility in several organs during migration. the migratory routes of many songbirds include stretches of sea and desert where fuelling is not possible. large fuel loads increase flight costs and predation risk, th ...	2003	12639316

the skills-teaching myth in nurse education. from florence nightingale to project 2000.	using contemporary accounts as well as current academic literature this paper considers the amount and quality of skills teaching to nursing students from the mid 19th century to the late 20th century. all sources agree that the responsibility to teach practice skills lay with ward sisters who are reported to have regularly neglected to focus on this aspect of their role. schools of nursing, on the other hand, were charged with the teaching of theory. failing to find any evidence of good quality ...	2003	12710380

commentary: the evolving role of nurses in terrorism and war.	the health care needs of people in both developed and underdeveloped countries experiencing violent conflict are strikingly similar. nurses are key for infectious disease detection and control, social support, and rehabilitation during terrorism and war in many countries. nurses already provide much of the care in these situations because they are present on a day-to-day basis, have key clinical and organizational skills, and tend to enjoy a high level of popular trust. there is a great potentia ...	2003	12734522

species delimitation and the origin of populations in island representatives of phylica (rhamnaceae).	relationships between the closely related island species of phylica (rhamnaceae) and a mainland species, p. paniculata, were elucidated using amplified fragment length polymorphisms (aflps). parsimony, neighbor joining, and principal coordinate (pco) analyses indicated that each of the species studied is distinct. aflps were also useful in elucidating the genetic relationships and possible infraspecific origins of different island populations in the atlantic and indian oceans. phylica nitida on ...	2003	12778551
a family of vortex wakes generated by a thrush nightingale in free flight in a wind tunnel over its entire natural range of flight speeds.	in view of the complexity of the wing-beat kinematics and geometry, an important class of theoretical models for analysis and prediction of bird flight performance entirely, or almost entirely, ignores the action of the wing itself and considers only the resulting motions in the air behind the bird. these motions can also be complicated, but some success has previously been recorded in detecting and measuring relatively simple wake structures that can sometimes account for required quantities us ...	2003	12796450

long-time storage of song types in birds: evidence from interactive playbacks.	in studies of birdsong learning, imitation-based assays of stimulus memorization do not take into account that tutored song types may have been stored, but were not retrieved from memory. such a 'silent' reservoir of song material could be used later in the bird's life, e.g. during vocal interactions. we examined this possibility in hand-reared nightingales during their second year. the males had been exposed to songs, both as fledglings and later, during their first full song period in an inter ...	2003	12803899
learning organizations need teachers: the leader's challenge.	the leader as learner and the leader as teacher are very basic to the role of any leader, but often overlooked in favor of command and control styles of leadership. continual improvement is the only way we can insure to our patients that we can provide the best care available to them. in the words of florence nightingale: "for us who nurse, our nursing is a thing, which, unless in it we are making progress every year, every month, every week, take my word for it, we are going back (ulrich, 1992, ...	2005	12847990
