    Notes: Community care research in central Birmingham has shown that disabled and old black people are under-represented on thecaseloads of distnct nurses compared to their white counterparts Whilst factors suggested as contributing to this (service ethnocentnsm and general practitioners as ‘gate-keepers’) are discussed elsewhere, this paper focuses on those few old and disabled black people who are distnct nurse patients Following comparisons between these black and white patient groups, the differing perspectives of black patient and distnct nurse are explored Stereotypes and myths, knowledge about each other and language/communication are discussed as important areas which may disadvantage black patients in their interaction withdistrict nurses Attention is drawn to the urgent need for distnct nursing to address the issue of black disabled and old people in the community and the accompanying central role of research

    Mental health nurses’ perceptions of nurse prescribing (2001)

    Notes: Mental health nurses’ perceptions of nurse prescribing Aims. This study aimed to ascertain mental health nurses’ perceptions of the advantages and disadvantages of nurse prescribing and to identify the educational needs of mental health nurse prescribers. Design. A questionnaire was designed and administered to a convenience sample in the UK of 73 mental health nurses in clinical practice, 14 working in in-patient settings and 59 in the community. Questions included both closed and open-ended items. Descriptive statistics were used for numerical data, and category analysis of the open-ended questions was undertaken by two of the researchers independently and then conjointly. Findings. The majority of respondents felt that mental health nurse prescribing would significantly improve clients’ access to medication, improve compliance, prevent relapse and prove cost effective. However, many were anxious that they did not have sufficient knowledge and skills to assume responsibility for prescribing. Conclusions. Although there would be benefits to clients and patients, further training, rigorous supervision and the co-operation of doctors will be required if mental health nurse prescribing is to yield the anticipated benefits.

    The nursing auxiliary service and the care of elderly patients (1989)

    Notes: Although nurse auxihanes cornpnse a large and rapidly expanding part of the distnct nursing service, nursing research has largely neglected this group of nurses and the people they see Using a patient-centred approach, which is a key element of the research, we studied the characteristics of patients who were either physically handicapped, frail elderly or elderly mentally infirm, who make up a large majority of the patients We found that auxiliaries' patients fell into a typical ‘at risk’ group, they were older and more likely to be living alone than qualified nurses' patients, and yet they received less frequent visits Motives for providing and continuing the service to patients were not always related to nursing need, and while recipients were grateful for the service, both they and auxihanes themselves identified areas of potential improvement The need to continue to monitor and improve the overall quality, effectiveness and efficiency of the service to patients and potential patients, demands that practitioners, managers and researchers systematically review referral to the service and the work of the nurse auxiliary using a patient-focused approach

    Room for improvement? Reporting response rates and recruitment in nursing research in the past decade (2005)
    Oxford, UK : Blackwell Science Ltd

    Notes: Aims.  This paper reports an analysis of recruitment and response rates in published nursing research in three peer reviewed nursing journals in 2002. We wished to establish if the deficits in reporting nursing research identified a decade earlier had been addressed.Background.  This analysis was informed by our personal experiences of research which produced widely differing response rates. An examination of the literature revealed a lack of consensus on desirable response rates in nursing research. Previous analyses have shown deficits in describing participants, sampling methods and reporting recruitment.Methods.  Papers reporting empirical research in three nursing journals in 2002 were reviewed in terms of a number of variables including research methodology, respondent type, recruitment method, response rate, location, and data collection method. Nominal coding was used as necessary. Data were analysed using the Statistical Package for Social Sciences and a variety of descriptive statistics were employed.Results.  Half of the papers did not report a response rate. Of those which did, over three-quarters of both qualitative and quantitative studies had response rates of 60% or more. Research conducted in hospital and educational settings produced higher response rates than those in community settings. Studies with response rates of less than 60% did not always refer to their rates in the study limitations, and low response rates do not appear to be a barrier to publication.Conclusion.  Reporting of sampling, recruitment and response rates in nursing research must be improved to support nursings’ claim to be an evidence-based profession and to underpin clinical governance requirements. Only through improvements in the quality of nursing research publications can knowledge be extended and a better-informed research community be created.

    District nurses' patients — issues of caseload management (1989)

    Notes: Current pressures on all community services mean that practitioners must give more detailed attention to evaluahon of patient outcomes and caseload review District nursing caseloads in one health authority have been examined using a patient-focused approach Random samples of patients who were either physically disabled, frail elderly, or elderly mentally infirm (n= 202) were examined for the distinctive and differing characteristics, if any, of recently referred and long-stay patients. Recently referred patients in our sample were either terminally ill, or had more chronic physical disorders Patients who stayed on the books received either injections, general care from qualified staff or baths from nurse auxiliaries Although covering similar areas of the health authority, nursing teams varied in the proportions of recently referred and long-stay patients, suggesting that individual nurses' caseload management is a crucial determinant of length of time on the books. In particular, nursing and medical review of all patients receiving vitamin B12 injections is urgently called for. In order for caseload monitoring to be facilitated, practitioners need relevant local and patient based data in order to make inter-team comparisons. The findings also have training and management support implications
