Previous research investigating shift work and its impact upon the quality of registered nurse performance and outcomes (including biological, psychosocial and organizational) is reviewed. The present study, which involved non-participant observation of staff nurses (n = 34) within their first year of practice (Part 1 or Part 12 of the United Kingdom Professional Register), is described. The findings demonstrated support for earlier research which suggested that 12 1/2 hour shifts are associated with less effective performance. This study, together with previous research, highlights important indicators for the design and management of future empirical work which is required to investigate the influence of shift work upon process as well as outcomes for nurses, service users and the employing organization. This is particularly pertinent in the light of recent changes in work patterns. The well-being and effectiveness of the nursing workforce requires enhancement, and the effective management of shift-work is a key strategy in achieving this.

“…Some authorities believe conflict results in productivity, allows for creativity, and serves as a stabilizing rather than a destructive force. 12,13 In contrast, others believe conflict results in a lack of professional growth, a loss of interest in one's work, and a decrease in the effectiveness of performance. 10,14 Whether conflict is useful or destructive, recognition of role conflict or overlap in function must accompany identification of areas of unique practice.…”

Perceived Role Responsibilities of Physical Therapists and Adapted Physical Educators in the Public School Setting

1985

Right to Education legislation has brought physical therapists and adapted physical educators together in the public school setting to serve the child with special needs. Investigation of the role responsibilities of these professionals would facilitate not only communication between the groups, but also understanding of their functions by other school personnel and administrators. We analyzed questionnaires returned by 79 physical therapists and 30 adapted physical educators to determine areas of uniqueness or similarity in 18 identified role responsibilities performed by these two groups. Each subject rated the appropriateness of each role to physical therapists and to adapted physical educators. On 10 of the 18 items, a statistically significant interaction indicated disagreement with regard to the relative contributions of the two professions. On the other 8 items, the two groups agreed that the role responsibility tends to belong to one profession or agreed that either profession could assume the responsibility. These data should provide information to help further delineate the role definitions for each of these professionals. In addition, the most efficient use of available resources may be used to meet the educational needs of these children.

“…Furthermore, she noted tha~ good physician-nurse communication is not part of the usual medical school curriculum. Benne and Bennis (1959) studied the nurse-physician relationship, as seen by nurses, by having a group of nurses complete cartoons involving nurse-physician interaction. Their results indicated that there was a considerable amount of conflict between the nurse and the physician, primarily due to the differing opinions physicians and nurses hold concerning the appropriate functions of the nurse.…”

Forty-three medical students and 78 nursing students each filled out four copies of the Interpersonal Check List. The subjects described self, ideal self as physician or nurse, and typical and ideal work partner. For each questionnaire the two summary scores Dom and Lov were computed. The results indicate a discrepancy between concepts of self and ideal self and the results also point to considerable disagreement between medical students and nursing students about their roles on the physician-nurse team.
