“…In taxonomy formation, concept development is intertwined with conceptual framework development, requiring both induction and deduction (Suppe & Jacox, 1985). Further, integration of quantitative and qualitative methods for identification and testing of nursing-sensitive patient outcomes is needed (Erben, Franzkowiak, & Wenzel, 1992). The classification methods used for the research are modeled after (Iowa Intervention Project, 1992;Cohen et al, 1991).…”

“…What do patient outcomes describe? The phenomena of concern with nursing-sensitive patient outcomes are patient states or behaviors, including patient perceptions or subjective states (Erben, Franzkowiak, & Wenzel, 1992). These phenomena are in contrast to nursing interventions where the concern is nurse behaviors (Iowa Interventions Project, 1992).…”

“…Because the outcomes and indicators are conceptualized as variable patient or family caregiver states, conditions, or perceptions, they are given nonevaluative labels representing concepts that can be measured along a continuum. This allows negative, positive, or no changes resulting from nursing interventions to be described (Erben, Franzkowiak, & Wenzel, 1992). The research team defined the set of rules listed in Table 2 for conceptualizing the outcomes and writing nursing-sensitive outcome labels.…”

This report describes research at the University of Iowa College of Nursing to develop a comprehensive classification of nursing-sensitive patient outcomes. The Nursing-Sensitive Outcomes Classification (NOC) completes the nursing process elements of the Nursing Minimum Data Set (NMDS). We describe resolution of conceptual and methodological problems that define the inductive approach taken to develop the NOC. Strategies used to develop NOC included review of the literature, clinical databases and instruments; concept analysis; and surveys of nurse experts. Examples of outcomes, definitions, and indicators are presented. The NOC provides standardized patient outcomes for determining the effectiveness of nursing interventions and enables inclusion of these data in data sets for healthcare effectiveness research.

“…Como afirman Pérez-Álvarez y García-Montes (2004), el estilo de vida es una cuestión con un gran componente de estética. El estilo de vida de un individuo aparece vinculado al estilo de vida de sus grupos de referencia o pertenencia, es decir, a un tipo de estilo de vida colectivo, y ambos se forman en relación con las condiciones sociales en las que viven individuos y grupos (Erben, Franzkowiak y Wenzel, 1992). Los estilos de vida recogen variabilidad de sus pautas entre grupos sociales diferentes -por ejemplo, grupos generacionales-, pues éstos se hallan sometidos a procesos de influencia distintos y peculiares (Lindstrom, 2006).…”

Resumen. El consumo abusivo de alcohol en la adolescencia es, en el momento actual, un importante problema de salud pública, hasta el punto de que su prevención se ha convertido en una de las prioridades en las políticas de salud. También, y en el ámbito de la intervención social, se ha venido estudiando, en los últimos años, los factores psicosociales implicados en ese consumo. En el presente trabajo se lleva a cabo una revisión de esos factores en el marco de la perspectiva ecológica, en la que se integran las variables psicológicas, relacionales y socioculturales. El consumo de alcohol es analizado como parte integrante de la cultura juvenil, despojando la explicación de contenidos patologistas o moralistas, y aproximándonos a la concepción de que el consumo de alcohol es un medio que utiliza el adolescente para lograr su ajuste en una sociedad que se caracteriza por la complejidad. Se analiza, en primer lugar, las variables disposicionales del sujeto, seguidamente se repasan las provenientes del contexto familiar y, finalmente, se explora la relación entre el consumo de alcohol y los factores del entorno sociocultural. Palabras clave: adolescencia, alcohol, consumo abusivo de alcohol, drogas, modelo ecológico.Abstract. Abusive alcohol consumption in adolescence is currently an important problem of public health, to the point that prevention has become a priority in health policies. Also, in the field of social intervention, the psychosocial factors involved in that consumption has been studied in the last years. In the present work a revision of those factors is carried out from the ecological perspective, in which psychological, relational and sociocultural variables are integrated. Alcohol consumption is analyzed as part of the youth culture, rejecting explanations of pathological or moralistic content, and following an approach in which alcohol consumption is understood as a mean used by the adolescent in order to achieve adjustment in a society characterized by complexity. First, individual dispositional variables are analysed; following this, variables from the family context are examined, and finally the relationship between alcohol consumption and factors of the sociocultural context are explored.

“…The constructed research priorities best known to researchers are the speci®c calls for proposals that designate circumscribed topics for investigation. Erben (1992) asked whether researchers control what they want to control, or whether the scienti®c control mechanisms control intentions? In the case of funding, the latter seems to be the case; the power of funding bodies to structure inquiry cannot be under-estimated.…”

This paper explores philosophical and methodological issues involved in determining 'What counts as making a meaningful difference?'--the fundamental question in health outcomes research and evidence-based practice. Eight diverse stakeholders are identified along with the competing agendas they bring to the debate. The power to define what counts as meaningful change in health status is typically rooted in disciplinary socialization, linguistic traditions and an orthodox consensus that circumscribes acceptable research foci and methods. The various implicit assumptions and sites of definitional authority have consequences both for health researchers and for the public being served. For researchers, their designs may be driven by available instrumentation, short political time lines, and statistical rather than clinical significance. Because methods to capture salient health outcomes are still being developed, failure to capture significant outcomes may be methodological in origin. The public may experience the consequences of subsequent programmatic funding decisions and the exclusionary potential of different categorization schemes. Despite this, the public seldom has a voice in deciding what constitutes a meaningful health outcome. Researchers are urged to involve their target population in designing studies to help rebalance relative stakeholder power, and to consider the consequences of their methodological decisions.
