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

using health statistics: a nightingale legacy.	no more forceful example of the value of using health statistics to understand and improve health conditions exists than displayed by florence nightingale. the recent book by dossey (1999), florence nightingale: mystic, visionary, healer, relates the dramatic tale of nightingale s use of statistics to understand the causes of deaths in the crimean war and of her advocacy to standardize the collection of medical data within the army and in civilian hospitals. for her, the use of health statistics ...	2001	11936946
evaluating attributions for an illness based upon the name: chronic fatigue syndrome, myalgic encephalopathy and florence nightingale disease.	in recent years, considerable discussion has occurred about stigma surrounding the name given to an illness currently known as chronic fatigue syndrome (cfs). although patients and medical personnel have expressed varying opinions on this issue, no studies have evaluated how beliefs about the illness change based upon the type of name used for diagnostic purposes. proposals have been put forth to rename the illness with an eponym (a famous patient's or researcher's name) or with a less trivial s ...	2002	11928774
registered male: a discussion on men in the nursing profession.	the aim of this discussion paper is to alert the profession to issues surrounding men in nursing. there is a historical connection between men and the nursing profession; men having served as nurses long before florence nightingale. literature suggests that women and men enter the nursing profession for the same reasons, however the paths which lead men to nursing differ. feminist sociologists express alarm at the disproportionate number of males in managerial nursing positions and hold that thi ...	2001	11924621

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
recruiting nurses for the new millennium.	the challenge of finding the very best candidates to become the nurses of the future is not new. even in the mid-1800s, florence nightingale struggled to seek out the best prospects for training at her new institutions. today, however, with nursing colleges and universities in competition for the top candidates to fill their entrance quotas, recruitment has become not just a challenge but an art.	2000	11865470
can celebrity chefs crack it?	what became of the splendid idea to involve celebrity chefs in hospital catering? (no doubt they were offered a larger budget than the paltry 10p per patient per day that is allocated to our poor cooks.) our worthy founder florence nightingale engaged the help of top chefs to nourish her charges in the crimea. she recognised the importance of appetising food for sick patients, not just for nutritional purposes, but also as a psychological aid to recovery.	2002	28076172

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
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
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

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

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 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
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
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

	thank you so much for 'the nightingale legacy' article (may 2001) about lea hurst, the agecare residential home in derbyshire, which admirably proves the point that not all care homes are terrible places. what impressed me more than anything was the involvement of residents in interviewing prospective members of staff. i'd like to think this practice is widespread but am willing to bet very few care homes give residents a voice and a choice in who gets to look after them. maybe your readers can ...	2001	27702235
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

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
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

[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
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

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
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

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

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
'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

effects of dyadic vocal interactions on other conspecific receivers in nightingales.	during vocal interactions birds can time their song output so that their songs overlap those of a conspecific. such overlapping is usually interpreted as a directed signal of arousal or as a signal of readiness to escalate contests. inevitably, these interactions can often be heard by other conspecifics. to investigate if these conspecifics would perceive and use information derived from listening to others' interactions we conducted playback experiments in the field on male territorial nighting ...	1997	9794778
