Abstract
THE DIABETES RESEARCH and Training Center at the Albert Einstein College of Medicine, in collaboration with Yale University School of Nursing, initiated a project to develop and implement a concentration of study at the Master's level within the field of diabetes. The concentration has resulted in involvement of advanced practice nurses in management and care of individuals with diabetes. In the article, an epidemiological perspective in diabetes care is given, along with information on how the program developed and evolved over the past 5 years. Program graduates have become certified diabetes educators and completed a Master's thesis in the area of diabetes care, resulting in practice-oriented publications.

Abstract
Research findings have changed reproductive decisions for HIV-infected women in their childbearing years. A variety of studies in the United States place the risk of vertical transmission (from mother to fetus) at between thirteen and thirty percent. Recent results of the AIDS Clinical Trial Group (ACTG) 076 protocol have found that zidovudine (ZDV; AZT) had a significant inhibitory affect on HIV transmission from mother to fetus. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) recommends that all women, especially those who are pregnant, be given the opportunity to learn of their HIV infection status through voluntary HIV testing and counseling. This article briefly reviews these issues and other factors that HIV-infected women may consider when making reproductive decisions and HIV-related treatment choices once pregnancy is underway.
Implementation of a variety of computerized bedside nursing information systems in 17 New Jersey hospitals.
Hendrickson, G., Kovner, C. T., Knickman, J. R., & Finkler, S. A. (1995). Computers in Nursing, 13(3), 96-102.
Abstract
This article examines issues of implementing nursing information computer systems in 17 hospitals in New Jersey and the initial effects of such systems as perceived by users. Unlike previous studies that examined the effects of one system in one hospital, this study examines the effects of several major systems in a variety of settings. Many of the hospitals experienced major delays or other problems with implementation; the hospitals in which timely implementation occurred were the ones that had purchased a commercially available stand-alone nursing system and did not try to develop interfaces or do extensive development. While these hospitals did meet with difficulties and needed some software customization, the problems were not so severe as to impede timely implementation. On the other hand, most of the hospitals that had major delays had planned more ambitious projects. These hospitals either required development work with vendors or were implementing a nursing information system while simultaneously putting in place a hospital system. Initial staff impressions of the effects of the system were positive; nursing department staffs reported that they liked the nursing systems. They said that documentation was better (more readable, complete, and timely) and they also believed that care was improved because the computer prompted nurses on what to look for and what to do. Support for these systems from hospital administration, outside of nursing, was cautious and based primarily on cost/benefit results.
Increasing the quality of family visits to the ICU
Clarke, S. P. (1995). Dimensions of Critical Care Nursing, 14(4), 200-212. 10.1097/00003465-199507000-00006
Abstract
Facilitating family visits in critical care settings is a challenging nursing responsibility. Before family members are in a position to be supportive of patients, they must deal with stressful aspects of the ICU environment. A model of the stages in family visits derived from a clinical field study is described. This model provides a framework for assessment and intervention strategies to facilitate patient-family contact in critical care.

Primary Mental Health Care: A Model for Psychiatric-Mental Health Nursing
Haber, J., & Billings, C. V. (1995). Journal of the American Psychiatric Nurses Association, 1(5), 154-163. 10.1177/107839039500100504
Abstract
This article introduces and defines the concept of primary mental health care, a model for the delivery of community-based, comprehensive psychiatric-mental health nurs ing care. The primary mental health care model incorporates professional role re sponsibilities, role functions, and intervention activities for psychiatric-mental health nurses at the basic and advanced levels of practice. Use of this model will enable psychiatric nurses to articulate a nursing perspective about primary mental health care to colleagues, to policymakers, and to consumers.
