Abstract

Abstract

The American Nurses Association (ANA) advocates establishment of a national database, which can collect, aggregate, and analyze patient data to link nursing activities to 10 quality of care outcomes. These outcomes, developed through extensive research, can highlight the essential nature of nursing, demonstrate institutional compliance with external standards, and justify registered nurse staffing patterns. Staff nurses collect and record the data that provide the foundation for the quality nursing indicators research initiative. This paper focuses on the important and unique role that staff nurses can play in advancing this agenda.

Abstract

Abstract

The increased use of unlicensed assistive personnel (UAP) has raised the question: "What nursing research has been conducted to evaluate the effectiveness of the UAP in relation to patient outcomes?" To answer this question, the New York State Nurses Association Council on Nursing Research conducted a literature review on the issue of UAP. The specific purposes of this article are to: (a) present an overview of the health care climate and consumer and RN reaction in relation to the UAP movement, (b) summarize reported reviews of UAP research conducted between 1988 and 1994, (c) critique and synthesize the most recent UAP nursing research conducted between 1994 and 1997, and (d) make recommendations for education, practice, and research.

Abstract

Abstract

This paper describes policy formation and its relationship to nursing research, examining ways in which nursing's disciplinary research can have greater influence on American health care policy. The American Nurses Association's Social Policy Statement (1995) is discussed in its role as a guide for nursing research efforts in a health care reform environment where favorable patient outcomes are key.
