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 ...199711618973
introducing primary nursing to a satellite dialysis setting in singapore.primary nursing originated from the university of minnesota hospitals in the late 1960s. almost 100 years before, florence nightingale defined a "case method" approach to nursing in which she described an individual nurse having responsibility for a given group of patients and dealing with issues relating to health, hygiene and family support.20109663995

florence nightingale's memory loss.alzheimer's disease presents in many guises from the frankly florid to the benign decline in memory and functioning. florence nightingale (1820-1910) is well known to the public as the face behind the nursing profession. what has not been well studied is her cognitive decline in old age. evidence is presented to support the diagnosis of late onset alzheimer's disease, perhaps from a familial basis, this being the major contributor to her death. her last years were with dignity and can be an insp ...19979137312
florence nightingale and holistic philosophy.florence nightingale lived at a time when allopathy and homeopathy were competing for dominance in medical care. nightingale's philosophy of health and healing was more similar to the holistic philosophy of homeopathy than to the mechanistic philosophy of allopathy. why, then, did nightingale align organized nursing with allopathic medicine? perhaps nightingale, always the pragmatist, understood that allopathy would gain the dominant position in medicine. perhaps aligning nursing with allopathy ...19979146193
auditory scene analysis by songbirds: stream segregation of birdsong by european starlings (sturnus vulgaris).three experiments examined the capacity of european starlings to segregate perceptually 2 superimposed, intermixed auditory stimuli. the stimuli were 10-s song samples from 2 of 4 songbird species: european starling, brown thrasher, mockingbird, and nightingale. the birds first learned a discrimination between the intermixed song pairs. then, they maintained the discrimination with novel song exemplars in the mixtures and when song stimuli for each species were presented alone. performance fell, ...19979090135

[florence nightingale's concept of home nursing: an analysis of her writings].the purpose of this study is to identify miss florence nightingale's concept of home nursing in the 19th century. the texts of her 27 writings were analyzed in terms of home nursing. in her writings of 1850's, she discussed patients' own homes as well as hospitals as the settings where nursing care should be provided. "hospitals are an intermediate stage of civilization" was the recognition which formed the core of her philosophy. miss nightingale envisaged "nursing care provided to individuals ...20099305064

the virtues in the moral education of nurses: florence nightingale revisited.the virtues have been a neglected aspect of morality; only recently has reference been made to their place in professional ethics. unfashionable as florence nightingale is, it is nonetheless worth noting that she was instrumental in continuing the aristotelian tradition of being concerned with the moral character of persons. nurses who came under nightingale's sphere of influence were expected to develop certain exemplary habits of behaviour. a corollary can be drawn with the current uk professi ...19979052177

all the young men gone: losing men in the gentrification of australian nursing circa 1860-1899.men played an important role in nursing in colonial australia. however the number of men undertaking nursing duties declined dramatically in the second half of the nineteenth century. reasons for this are explored in relation to ramifications of the introduction of the nightingale pattern of nurse training in australia, which occurred within the victorian ethos of gentility and decorum. in this context, nursing came to be seen as a calling that was natural and appropriate for women. the controll ...19969117770
rules of parameter variation in homotype series of birdsong can indicate a 'sollwert' significance.various bird species produce songs which include homotype pattern series, i.e. segments composed of a number of repeated vocal units. we compared such units and analyzed the variation of their parameters, especially in the time and the frequency domain. in addition, we examined whether and how serial changes of both the range and the trend of variation were related to song constituents following the repetitions. data evaluation showed that variation of specific serial parameters (e.g., unit pitc ...199624896079
florence nightingale's influence on the development and professionalization of modern nursing in japan.this article has summarized the overwhelming sociocultural and geopolitical forces that influenced the development of modern nursing in japan. the irony of japanese nursing is that modern nursing, first introduced by navy physicians, served the needs of japanese military efforts and those of physicians who required others to perform menial hospital chores. because of the harsh realities of nursing in the battlefields or in hospitals, working as a kangofu was, and is, not compatible with a tradit ...20088981499

army nurses in wartime: distinction and pride.nurses have served with distinction in wartime since florence nightingale went to the crimea. women often accompanied their husbands to battle during the revolutionary and civil wars, caring for the sick and wounded. although not officially given officer status until 1920, army nurses served in the spanish-american war and world war i. as officers, thousands of nurses served in subsequent wars, distinguishing themselves by their heroism, devotion to duty, and sheer tenacity of spirit.19968772301
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 ...19968633823
wound healing and critical illness.critically ill patients with acute wounds provide a multitude of challenges for the critical care nurse. assessment of the patient's wound and associated-disease risk factors must be an ongoing process involving the evaluation of the treatment modalities and the stage of wound healing. nightingale stated that the nurse's role "is to put the patient in the best condition for nature to act upon." the critical care nurse plays a pivotal role in establishing and maintaining the best condition or env ...19968716381
to pauperize or empower: public health nursing at the turn of the 20th and 21st centuries.from its inception, public health nursing has provided health care and teaching to all people including those who are disadvantaged and impoverished. based on the work and beliefs of florence nightingale and lillian wald, public health nurses developed positive relationships with people which resulted in healthier environments and lifestyles among diverse families and communities. and, despite societal concern that nursing care for the poor would pauperize them, it did not. it empowered them. a ...19968677231

the effect of ward design on the well-being of post-operative patients.changes in the design of hospital wards have usually been determined by architects and members of the nursing and medical professions; the views and preferences of patients have seldom been sought directly. the hospital anxiety and depression scale and the disturbance due to hospital noise questionnaire were administered to 64 female patients on bay and nightingale wards together with a questionnaire designed for this study. perceptions of social and physical factors of ward design were examined ...19968675902
the incidence of malnutrition in hospitalised patients.this paper is the third in our literature review series and looks at the subject of nutrition. in 1859 florence nightingale suggested that thousands of patients were 'annually starved in the midst of plenty, from want of attention to the ways which alone make it possible for them to take food'. over 130 years later it is still being suggested that nutrition remains a neglected area of patient care. it is sobering to realise that little has changed in this time. this paper provides an overview of ...20138710558

sexual harassment and hostile environments in the perioperative area.nursing has dealt with sexual harassment since the era of florence nightingale. despite legislation and increased media attention, perioperative nurses continue to experience frustration, embarrassment, and psychological and economic repercussions because of sexual harassment. prevention of sexual harassment must encompass individuals, employers, and the health care profession as a whole. individuals can take steps to stop sexual harassment by reporting the incidents and confronting the harasser ...19968907748

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 ...200710723303

the role of gender, phrenology, discrimination and nervous prostration in clara barton's career.clara barton was 39 years old before she became involved in civil war humanitarian activities. prior to that time, three factors shaped her personality and her future: phrenology gave her philosophical principles to live by, especially "know thyself"; sex discrimination on her first two jobs steeled her for living in a male dominated victorian era; and psychohygienic therapy for her long term nervous prostration changed her behavioral approach to illness and to life. with these three influences ...19958568024

art, science and social science in nursing: occupational origins and disciplinary identity.this paper forms part of a wider study examining the history and sociology of nursing education in england between 1860 and 1948. it argues that the question of whether nursing was an art, science and/or social science has been at the 'heart' of a wider debate on the occupational status and disciplinary identity of nursing. the view that nursing was essentially an art and a 'calling', was championed by florence nightingale. ethel bedford fenwick and her allies insisted that nursing, like other p ...19957664158

progress in measuring nursing outcomes.this paper examines the progress made in the measurement of the 'outcomes' of nursing. although nursing has a long history of outcome research which extends as far back as florence nightingale, an examination of the literature over the past 30 years gives little impression of progress. significant difficulties still remain in identifying outcomes relevant to nursing intervention, measurement techniques and appropriate study designs. however, progress has been made. the paper examines various rec ...19957665773

from 19th century nursing reforms to current practice: a selective overview with special reference to the royal london homoeopathic hospital (the royal london homoeopathic hospital nhs trust from 1993).early nursing reforms in the 19th century are usually associated with nightingale, although later emphasis has been placed on similar movements in the poor law sector. extension of nursing influence over decision-making in terms of nursing practice and education is charted, using examples from 19th century minutes of hospital committees and more recent experience based mainly on the observations made by one of the writers, who had substantial input into steering the hospital through the stages p ...19957735653

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.19938221603
