    Notes: This descriptive study examined the coping styles and specific strategies used by a group of pregnant adolescents attending an adolescent family support service. Seventy-one adolescents, with a mean age of 17 years, and a mean gestation of 25 weeks, completed the Revised Jalowiec Coping Scale (JCS-R). The findings demonstrated that the optimistic coping style (emotion-focused) was the most frequently used and most effective coping style for these young women. A confrontive coping style (problem-focused) was also used and found to be effective. A combination of problem-focused and emotion-focused styles is recommended, with an increased emphasis on problem-focused approaches. The focus by the adolescents on optimistic approaches is suggestive of a lack of understanding of the challenges that motherhood will place upon them, but is consistent with their age and developmental stage. A longitudinal study of coping styles and changes in style throughout pregnancy and early motherhood is recommended. Initial assessment and monitoring of coping styles of pregnant adolescents is proposed. This assessment would be the beginning point for a teaching program that highlights increased use of adaptive coping styles (problem-focused) with decreased use of maladaptive approaches, and includes emotion-focused styles. By expanding the repertoire of coping styles and strategies available to the adolescent, the public health nurse (PHN) prepares these vulnerable mothers for the challenges ahead.

    Notes: Abstract  This study sought to develop and test a set of criteria to distinguish elders at high risk of an untoward medication event within community nursing caseloads. A descriptive correlational design was used to identify relevant risk factors for elders. Data on medication knowledge, regime, management abilities, and adherence were obtained from 111 elders receiving community nursing care. Four predictors—12 or more doses of medications per day, more than one prescriber, caregiver available, and sometimes forgetting to take medications—of complexity (R2 explaining 39% of the variance) and adherence (R2 explaining 49% of the variance) were identified as potential factors that subsequently confirmed a discrete group of high risk elders. The use of these four risk factors or screening criteria is recommended for older people within community nursing caseloads.

    A nursing intervention for the quality use of medicines by elderly community clients (2004)

    Notes: Although considerable research and development work has been undertaken on the role of General Practitioners (GPs) and pharmacists in medication management, monitoring and referral, there is limited research into a role in medication management for community nurses. One hundred and thirteen older people living at home and receiving community nursing care were assessed for their knowledge of, and ability to manage their medication regimen. From these data, a nurse-initiated intervention was developed that included nursing interventions and referral pathways to GPs for people who might benefit from a GP and/or pharmacist medication review. A subgroup of 24 participants with diminished knowledge of medications or ability to manage their regime (considered to be at risk of drug-related problems) who were followed up, demonstrated an increase in knowledge, some alteration in compliance aids and with no statistically significant change in medication regime complexity. This paper details an approach to medication review and intervention suitable for community nurses that includes referral pathways within the medication team.

    Comprehensive measurement of maternal satisfaction: The modified Mason Survey (2002)

    Notes: A three-stage process was undertaken to identify and modify a tool that was capable of measuring the many aspects of maternal satisfaction relevant to Australian women. First, the scope of maternal satisfaction to be measured was defined by summarizing available literature and surveys purporting to measure maternal satisfaction (including surveys used in maternity services in New South Wales). The multidimensional nature of maternal satisfaction was confirmed, with 16 core aspects (common to the literature and local surveys) and nine additional unique aspects of maternal satisfaction being identified. Second, these core and additional aspects were used to examine the comprehensiveness of the Mason Survey, a survey recommended by the National Health and Medical Research Council of Australia for use in maternity services. Eighty-eight per cent of the core and additional aspects (22/25) were found to be present in the Mason Survey. Third, an expert panel further modified the Mason Survey by removing items not applicable to the Australian context. The modified Mason Survey is a comprehensive measure of maternal satisfaction suitable for Australian women and capable of providing valuable information on the quality of services and future planning for maternity services.

    Feeding outcomes and influences within the Neonatal Unit (2000)

    Notes: This study examined the feeding intention of mothers (n = 100), and the factors and beliefs, and changes in those factors or beliefs that influenced their choices, in the challenging environment of the neonatal unit. Mothers’ experience and the frequency of nurse-assisted feeding activities were examined in mothers intending and not intending to breast-feed on discharge. Eighty-one per cent of mothers were either partially or fully breast-feeding or intending to do so on discharge. The most important factors identified as influencing this feeding choice included personal choice, with other influences being special benefits, more natural and feeling closer to the baby. Experiences such as infants receiving their first sucking feed from either the breast or bottle (inclusive of breast milk) and mothers expressing breast milk more frequently, were found to be significantly different and increased in frequency, in mothers intending to breast-feed. Differences in the mean weighted total daily nurse-assisted feeding score confirmed that these activities varied with gestational age (≤32 weeks [2.57], 32 to less than 35 weeks [3.86], and ≥35 weeks [4.91]; F = 7.04, d.f. 55, P = 0.002), although there was insufficient power to determine differences between breast-feeding and non-breast-feeding mothers. The use of the Feeding Activities Calendar may have contributed to increased activity and high levels of breast-feeding in this preterm group.
