Abstract Objectives This study aimed to determine the educational needs of the families of patients discharged from the intensive care units and to compare the views of families and nurses about these needs.Method This was a cross-sectional study. Two hundred eighty nurses and family members of the patients discharged from the intensive care units participated in the survey. A researcher-made questionnaire about the educational needs of the family were used for data collection.Results Nurses significantly estimated the educational needs of families more than what they did (P <0.001). The families and nurses reported the educational needs of self-care as well as nutrition and medicine at the highest level, respectively.

Purpose: To explore staffing and organisational characteristics of nursing care in cardiac intensive care units (CICUs) in Greece. Methodology: An exploratory descriptive survey design with additional cross-sectional comparisons was employed. A specifically developed survey-type questionnaire, addressed to nurse managers, was distributed to all CICUs in Greece. Results: The response rate was 76.2% ( N=32 units). Nursing staff per bed ratios over 24 h (whole-time equivalent) were very low and exhibited a mean of 1.25 (±0.53). The total registered nurse to assistance nurse (RN/AN) ratio was 2.74, but a lot of variability was observed and in many units ANs operated in RNs positions. Only 42% of the nurses had participated at in-service continuing education programs and a systematic training program in cardio pulmonary resuscitation (CPR) was provided in only 12 (37.5%) units. The reported frequencies at which specific technical tasks were performed autonomously by nurses varied substantially and reflected a medium to low level of practice autonomy; the most frequently reported tasks were: peripheral IV line insertion, CPR chest compression, titration of vasoactive drugs and administration of analgesics. Higher percentages of nurses had received in-service training associated with the likelihood of performance of several technical tasks ( P<0.03). Conclusions: Future studies need to explore the effect of these organisational characteristics on patient outcomes. The endorsement of nation-wide standards for nursing staffing and training in CICUs is imperative.

One problem in treating schizophrenia is recurrence. Recurrence indicates the return of symptoms of the previous disease is quite severe and disturbing daily activities and requires further treatment. Prevention of recurrence in schizophrenia can be sought by the family. This study aims to identify factors related to family abilities in preventing recurrence of schizophrenic patients. This study used a cross sectional design. The sample in the study were 82 families with family members of schizophrenic patients obtained using simple random sampling. The results of the analysis have a relationship between the age range of the family (p value 0.012), the role of respondents in the family (p value 0.032), duration of treating schizophrenic patients (p value 0.001) but there is no relationship between the ability to prevent recurrence with the sex of respondents (p value 0.835) and education level of respondents (p value 0.508). Recommendations from this study for health workers provide health education to families to provide an understanding of the ability to prevent recurrence in schizophrenic patients.   Keywords: Schizophrenia, Prevention of recurrence, Family

The communication and information, emotional support and family participation were the highest rating categories, while coping and visits had the lowest ratings. Conclusions: The participants of the study perceive as moderate the humane care, since they relate this to the quality of the care provided, considering the evaluated categories in the research. On the other hand, the family members point out that they receive the necessary information and support to involve themselves in the care activities, allowing them for more interaction with the hospitalized familiar and the personnel.
