The role of social support in the family and community integration of right-hemisphere stroke survivors.

The goal of this project was to understand better the communicative processes by which social support can assist right-hemisphere stroke survivors in the process of community integration. Open-ended interviews were conducted with 12 right-hemisphere stroke survivors and their family caregivers. The transcribed interviews revealed 7 challenges (physical, cognitive-perceptual, emotional, relationship, employment, financial, and challenges to activities of daily living) and three types of resources (formal external, informal external, and internal).

Incorporating research into associate degree nursing curricula.

All nurses are urged to be involved in research as participants and/or consumers. Such involvement may range from using research findings to participating in one or more of the research process steps to serving as principle investigator of a funded study. Clinicians at the bedside, including associate degree (AD) nurses, are well positioned to contribute to the body of nursing knowledge and enhance nursing care by identifying nursing care problems worthy of research, collecting data for nursing studies, and applying research findings in the care they provide.
