Effect of an emotion management programme for patients with schizophrenia: A quasi-experimental design.

One of the goals of psychiatric social rehabilitation treatment is to improve patients' emotion recognition, emotional expression, and empathetic abilities. In this study, we used a quasi-experimental, nonrandomized design to examine the effect of an emotion management programme on the emotion recognition (emotion attention and emotion clarity), emotional expression (positive expressivity, negative expressivity, and impulse strength), and quality of life (QoL) of a sample of patients with schizophrenia in South Korea. Over eight sessions, we collected data from 56 patients with schizophrenia registered in community mental rehabilitation facilities.

Interactional nursing--a practice-theory in the dynamic field between the natural, human and social sciences.

Nursing is often described from the point of view of either the natural or the human sciences. In contrast to this, the value foundation in Interactional nursing practice is understood from the point of view of the natural sciences as well as that of the human and social sciences. This article presents many-faceted practice-theory of nursing, which is situated in the dynamic field between these three sciences.

Ethics and education.

In the debate concerning the education of nurses that is currently taking place in Denmark, two widely differing views are apparent regarding the best way of training nurses such that the ethical aspect of their work is adequately considered. The first of these is based on the premise that practical care is fundamental to and justified by theories on nursing, care and ethics, which is why the theoretical part of nurse education deserves a higher priority. The second view is based on the premise that social care cannot be taught by means of theories, but can be learnt only through practice.

Evaluating learning opportunities offered to mental health nursing students.

This article is based upon a thesis submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements of Anglia Polytechnic University for the degree of Master of Philosophy. The study, completed in 1997, sought to identify factors making a positive contribution to learning within mental health care settings, and, having done this, to develop a means of auditing. Phase One drew on published work; however, it was necessary to determine the contextual validity of factors shown by colleagues to be conductive to learning, since the focus of this earlier work was, in the main, within general adult nursing.

Validity in qualitative health care research: an exploration of the impact of individual researcher perspectives within collaborative enquiry.

The authors of the present paper are a team of workers undertaking an empirical study of the definitions of quality in nursing used by National Health Service managers and others. At an early stage in that work, their concern to enhance the validity of the findings led them to participate in the exercise reported in this paper. Their purpose was to answer the question 'what is the effect of the researcher's perspective on the interpretation of the analysis of interview data?'.

Hindsight bias in reflective practice: an empirical investigation.

Reflection is seen as a central component in the education and practice of nurses. It is through critical reflection on one's practice that expertise can be assured. This faith in the process of reflection has influenced much of pre and post registration nurse education.

The place of research and development in nurse education.

The National Health Service (NHS) document Research for Health, a research and development strategy for the NHS, provides a starting point to explore the place of research and development in nurse education. The thesis focuses on whether research and development in nurse education is the concern of education or nursing. Some parallels are drawn between nursing and teaching.
