| new aspects of the german 'scientific nursing' movement before world war i: florence nightingale's notes on nursing disguised as part of a medical tradition. | a group of german physicians propagated 'scientific nursing' in the 1890s in order to establish it as a medical specialty. martin mendelsohn (1860-1930) emerged as the figurehead of this movement. one of his earliest key publications on this topic appeared in 1890, with a second edition in 1892. it was entitled the comfort of the sick (der comfort des kranken). the comparison with florence nightingale's (1820-1910) notes on nursing led to the conclusion that mendelsohn's book constitutes a hithe ... | 2006 | 17100800 |

| the nightingale metrics. | staff nurses at children's hospital boston worked together to identify what was important to the patients and families they cared for, measured how often nurses performed these interventions, and used the data to improve the care they provide. this initiative, the nightingale metric project, can serve as a model for ongoing measurement and improvement of nursing care in all settings. | 2006 | 17016098 |
| 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 |

| 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 influence of environment in palliative care: supporting or hindering experiences of 'at-homeness'. | florence nightingale stated that the art of nursing is to provide an environment in which the patient is in the best position for nature to act upon, and martha rogers, in turn, emphasized that one part in nursing is to pattern the environment into a place where healing conditions are optimal. this paper presents a preliminary conceptual framework that describes the influence of environment in palliative care. based on previously published studies, a conceptual framework describing the influence ... | 2007 | 18386962 |
| nursing research: what is it and how can dermatology nurses use it? | the international council of nurses (2007) defines nursing research as a systemic inquiry that seeks to obtain new nursing knowledge for the benefit of patients, families, and communities and includes all aspects of health that are of interest to nursing including health promotion, disease prevention, and care during illness and recovery or towards a peaceful death. there is an increased amount of clinical research available to nurses and now we are challenged to utilize this knowledge to improv ... | 2007 | 18286857 |
| a brief history of infection control - past and present. | the scientific study of hospital or nosocomial cross-infection began during the first half of the 18th century, and from that time until the start of the 'bacteriological era' many of the most notable contributions originated in scotland. however it was only 100 years later in 1858 that florence nightingale promoted the case for hospital reform. the real understanding of hospital infection followed upon the discoveries of pasteur, koch and lister and the beginning of the 'bacteriological era'. t ... | 2007 | 18250929 |
| lights in the shadows: florence nightingale and others who made their mark. | florence nightingale, the 'lady with the lamp' became the image of 'heroic womanhood' (bostridge 2004) when she returned from the crimean war an iconic figure and ever since she has remained fated to wear the mantel of nursings' leading light. but she wasn't the only woman who made their mark or who undertook to risk their live caring for the sick and injured, wounded and dying in the crimea. sadly, nightingale's iconic status has also succeeded in overshadowing the existence and the achievement ... | 2007 | 17348782 |
| from the grey nuns to the streets: a critical history of outreach nursing in canada. | this article traces the historic antecedents of outreach nursing in canada, going as far back as the grey nuns in what is now quebec. it attempts to place modern-day street nursing in a historical context, which includes nightingale, wald, the early victorian order of nurses, and the social reform movements of the early 20th century. the article critiques the involvement of nursing in less than virtuous aspects of social control with respect to impoverished and otherwise marginalized groups. the ... | 2007 | 17214658 |
| brief history of inclusion of content on culture in nursing education. | nursing has a long history of focusing on the cultural dimension of care, dating back to florence nightingale and the early days of public health nursing. nursing education studies advocated for including social science concepts in nursing curricula well before the founding of the first university school of nursing in the united states in 1910. a brief review of the highlights of major nursing curriculum, licensing, funding, accreditation studies, and initiatives reveals that culture competence ... | 2007 | 17204811 |

| the impact of internet access on nursing practice. | currently, according to richards (2001), nurses are unsophisticated in informatics potential. the majority of practicing nurses are limited in their exposure to and competence with computer technology. richards stated. "such a deficiency is juxtaposed against the fact that young nurses entering the profession have grown up surrounded by technology, assimilating it as easily as the air they breathe" (p. 6). the new generation of nurses can greatly influence the art and science of nursing during t ... | 2007 | 14621624 |

| the educational preparation: of nurses in ireland. | the history and evolution of nurse education in ireland has been similar to that of other countries. initially conducted under the apprenticeship model established by nightingale, it continued under this model for more than a century because the educational needs of nurses were seen as subordinate to the needs of the health service. the necessity for reform in nursing education was identified in a number of irish government policy documents. one of the strongest arguments put forward for the fut ... | 2007 | 17557634 |

| long-term trends in first arrival and first egg laying dates of some migrant and resident bird species in northern italy. | climate change is affecting the phenology of seasonal events in europe and the northern hemisphere, as shown by several studies of birds' timing of migration and reproduction. here, we analyse the long-term (1982-2006) trends of first arrival dates of four long-distance migratory birds [swift (apus apus), nightingale (luscinia megarhynchos), barn swallow (hirundo rustica), and house martin (delichon urbicum)] and first egg laying dates of two migrant (swift, barn swallow) and two resident specie ... | 2007 | 17375338 |
| trace gas emissions from the marine biosphere. | a wide variety of trace gases (e.g. dimethyl sulphide, organohalogens, ammonia, non-methane and oxygenated hydrocarbons, volatile oxygenated organics and nitrous oxide) are formed in marine waters by biological and photochemical processes. this leads in many, but not all, cases to supersaturation of the water relative to marine air concentrations and a net flux of trace gas to the atmosphere. since the gases are often in their reduced forms in the water, once in the atmosphere they are subject t ... | 2007 | 17513265 |
| widespread and structured distributions of blood parasite haplotypes across a migratory divide of the swainson's thrush (catharus ustulatus). | we examined the phylogenetic distribution of cytochrome b haplotypes of the avian blood parasite genera haemoproteus and plasmodium across the migratory divide of the swainson's thrush (catharus ustulatus) in british columbia, canada. from 87 host individuals, we identified 8 parasite haplotypes; 4 of plasmodium and 4 of haemoproteus. six haplotypes were novel; 1 haemoproteus haplotype was identical to h. majoris found in the blue tit (parus caeruleus) in sweden, and another halotype was identic ... | 2007 | 18314697 |
| environmentally safe health care agencies: nursing's responsibility, nightingale's legacy. | florence nightingale and subsequent nurse scholars have written about the impact of the environment on human health. nightingale described, and staked out, the nurse's role in optimizing environments for healing. since nightingale's time numerous scholars have documented that environmental conditions play a major role in the health of individuals and populations. as nurses become more informed about the environment as a determinant of human health, they will be able to advocate more effectively ... | 2007 | 21848348 |
| fuelling decisions in migratory birds: geomagnetic cues override the seasonal effect. | recent evaluations of both temporal and spatial precision in bird migration have called for external cues in addition to the inherited programme defining the migratory journey in terms of direction, distance and fuelling behaviour along the route. we used juvenile european robins (erithacus rubecula) to study whether geomagnetic cues affect fuel deposition in a medium-distance migrant by simulating a migratory journey from southeast sweden to the wintering area in southern spain. in the late pha ... | 2007 | 17609189 |
| exposure of birds to cholinesterase-inhibiting pesticides following a forest application for tick control. | a mixture of malathion (4%), carbaryl (2%) and cypermethrin (4%) was applied as dry powder to forest and grasslands at a rate of 5kg/ha for tick control in 1500ha of a deer hunting estate in the south of spain. the effect on plasma cholinesterase (che) of house sparrow and nightingale, and brain che of red-legged partridge was studied. plasma che was lower after the treatment in passerine birds, but brain ache was not affected in partridges. the body condition of house sparrows was significantly ... | 2007 | 21783779 |
| wake structure and wingbeat kinematics of a house-martin delichon urbica. | the wingbeat kinematics and wake structure of a trained house martin in free, steady flight in a wind tunnel have been studied over a range of flight speeds, and compared and contrasted with similar measurements for a thrush nightingale and a pair of robins. the house martin has a higher aspect ratio (more slender) wing, and is a more obviously agile and aerobatic flyer, catching insects on the wing. the wingbeat is notable for the presence at higher flight speeds of a characteristic pause in th ... | 2007 | 17264054 |
| food intake and fuel deposition in a migratory bird is affected by multiple as well as single-step changes in the magnetic field. | recent studies have shown that migratory thrush nightingales (luscinia luscinia) experimentally treated with multiple changes of the magnetic field simulating a journey to their target stopover area in northern egypt, increased fuel deposition as expected in preparation to cross the sahara desert. to investigate the significance of food intake on the body mass changes observed, in the work described here we analysed food intake of the nightingales under study in those earlier experiments. furthe ... | 2008 | 18281326 |
