the future of nursing in a technological age: computers, robots, and tlc.	the computer has become a major tool in the medical treatment of disease. computers can record vital signs, keep records, and provide central networks for interactive diagnosis. individual medical histories can be contained in an optical card the size of a credit card. advances in technology just over the horizon will permit an individual to consult a computer much as one now consults a physician for diagnosis, recommendations, instructions, and treatment. surgery can be conducted in "virtual sp ...	1992	1301425

on the other side of the battle: russian nurses in the crimean war.	one redeeming feature that emerged from the horrors of the crimean war was the skilled and compassionate nursing care provided by women. the work of florence nightingale and her nurses with the british forces is a familiar story. what is less well-known is that the fighting forces on the other side of the battle lines also had their contingent of nurses who helped to alleviate the suffering of their sick and wounded. this paper discusses the events leading up to the organization of russia's volu ...	1992	1541474
the current status and future significance of nursing as a discipline.	the nature of nursing and the need for knowledge distinct from medicine was first spoken of by florence nightingale in 1859. her notions may be regarded as the earliest formations of nursing as a discipline. since that time there has been substantial effort committed to the development of a distinct theory base for nursing. increased interest in nursing's unique body of knowledge has been particularly evident in the last decade, as seen by the growth in research undertaken from a nursing perspec ...	1992	1537982

mothers and daughters: a powerful spell.	an unanticipated finding of a small exploratory study of the health of never-married women in old age is discussed. focused conversational interviews yielded evidence of the potent effect the mother-daughter relationship had in a group of women who had lived for all their adult lives in the parental home. usually mothers had outlived fathers, and when they finally died daughters lost someone to whom they had been very close and at the same time had to cope with living alone for the first time in ...	1992	1430640

[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

it's all in the name.	in recent years it has become fashionable to call a person seeking health care a client instead of a patient. some consider that this is part of the change in nursing, from the old military model that florence nightingale was acquainted with to the new consumer model. nurses are also finding themselves in the position of acting as advocates for the care-seeking person. for me, none of these models appear appropriate for nursing.	1993	8221603

nursing research: on what basis?	in the past 150 years nursing science has developed into a discipline of its own which has integrated features of various stages of theory development. so far most nursing theories, originally borrowed from other disciplines, have been adapted and moulded to suit the nursing context. the theories developed after nightingale, such as developmental, need-oriented, interaction, system-oriented and simultaneity theories have come about this way. they have depicted the areas of interest in nursing wh ...	1994	8188964

100 apples divided by 15 red herrings: a cautionary tale from the mid-19th century on comparing hospital mortality rates.	in 1863, florence nightingale argued that london hospitals were dangerous, especially compared with provincial facilities. she bolstered this contention with statistics published in william farr's registrar-general report which claimed that 24 london hospitals had mortality rates exceeding 90%, whereas rural hospitals had an average mortality rate of 13%. farr had calculated mortality rates by dividing the total number of patients who died throughout the year by the number of inpatients on a sin ...	1996	8633823
