AbstractSquires, A., Sindi, A., & Fennie, K. (2006). Advances in Nursing Science, 29(1), 55-68. 10.1097/00012272-200601000-00006AbstractTo evaluate nurses' priorities for health system reconstruction and professional development in Iraq, a survey of 744 Iraqi nurses was conducted, with the research process managed via the Internet. Seven definite priorities emerged along with significant differences in priorities related to years of experience, age, speciality area of nursing practice, gender, level of education, and geographic location of practice. Results indicate that nurses should be included in health system reconstruction processes and that support for the development of the nursing profession should be included in the plan for overall reconstruction.Documentar la falta de personal: Un equilibrio deficil
Squires, A. (2005). Nursing (Español), 43.A dimensional analysis of role enactment of acute care nurses
AbstractSquires, A. (2004). Journal of Nursing Scholarship, 36(3), 272-278. 10.1111/j.1547-5069.2004.04049.xAbstractPurpose: To identify dimensions of the role enactment process of acute care nurses. Design: Dimensional analysis, rooted in grounded theory methodology, was used to analyze the role enactment process. Methods: Twenty-eight articles related to acute care staff nurse roles were selected for analysis. Articles were from eight countries and were published between 1995 and 2002. Significant phrases or themes from each document were categorized to identify themes. Findings: Initial analysis of the articles indicated 37 separate dimensions in the role enactment process of acute care nurses. The final, integrative analysis reduced the initial 37 to 7 core dimensions: care delivery, autonomy, culture management, information management, leadership, psychologic management, and relationship management. The analysis showed a role that is rooted in management processes. Conclusions: The multidimensional nature of the role of acute care nurses was indicated in the dimensional analysis. The findings have implications for the administration and education of nurses, as well as for human resource development of nurses in many parts of the world.Documenting short-staffing: a delicate balance.

AbstractSquires, A. (2002). Journal of Continuing Education in Nursing, 33(5), 203-209.AbstractRetention rates for 1-year new graduate nurses had fallen to 30% at the author's institution. Upon reviewing feedback, a lack of a new graduate orientation program was determined to be a significant factor. The challenge presented to staff development was to develop a program that would increase 1-year retention rates of new graduate nurses without incurring overtime costs or significant additional expenses. The result was a successful 8-week orientation program using multiple teaching methods. New graduates rated their own progress through the use of a self-assessment questionnaire. One-year retention rates for new graduate nurses increased to 77% after the program was implemented.Respiratory assessment
