PURPOSE:To present an overview of dyspnea, differentiate chronic dyspnea from acute dyspnea, critique models of dyspnea found in the nursing literature, and propose a new model of chronic dyspnea to guide the care and evaluation of chronic dyspnea in patients living with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). Dyspnea is the major symptom that impairs quality of life for nearly 16 million Americans who have COPD. METHODS AND SOURCES: Review of scholarly literature on dyspnea by searching CINAHL and MEDLINE (1980-1998) using dyspnea and chronic obstructive lung disease as key words. The search produced studies conducted by a variety of health care professions including those in nursing, medicine, exercise physiology, and respiratory therapy.FINDINGS:The existing models fail to differentiate between acute and chronic dyspnea. These models were found to be inadequate for guiding interventions to decrease the long-term adverse consequences of chronic dyspnea.CONCLUSIONS:A useful model of chronic dyspnea defines chronic dyspnea as distress with varying levels of intensity and long-term physical, psychologic, and sociocultural consequences. The proposed model has implications for both research and clinical practice by identifying the consequences of chronic dyspnea as outcome measures of the effectiveness of treatment.
Some patients are dissatisfied with the pain relief they receive in the immediate postoperative period (Donovan, 1990). Some researchers believe that non‐pharmacologic nursing interventions, used in combination with analgesics, can help decrease pain. The purpose of this study was to document how frequently non‐pharmacologic methods are being implemented and who is responsible for encouraging patients to use these methods.

The combined effect of the medical model of care and a philosophy of health care as a business is threatening the complex human interactions that are essential to nursing. In the United States, nursing in 1999 is practiced in an environment that restricts understanding of its value and purpose.
Purpose:Over the past 2 years, concerns have arisen about the adequacy of the supply of RNs in California and the rest of the United States. Nurse leaders have called upon the California State Legislature to respond to concerns by increasing funding for RN education at public colleges and universities.Design:Descriptive—to ascertain whether California faces a shortage of RNs and whether greater state government funding of RN educational programs is necessary to alleviate such a shortage. Secondary data from several sources were analyzed.Methods:Cross‐sectional analysis of data from the 1996 National Sample Survey of Registered Nurses concerning California RNs' demographic characteristics and employment patterns was conducted. Longitudinal analysis of data was examined for trends in California's population, utilization of RNs, and graduations from RN education programs.Findings:Approximately 230,000 RNs lived in and were licensed to practice in California; 77% of California RNs were employed in nursing (70% working full‐time; 30% part‐time). Only a small number of California RNs were not currently working in nursing but were likely to enter the labor market. Most RNs who were not working were older retired women.Conclusions:A large increase in the RN workforce is needed to keep pace with the rapid growth of California's population. For California to maintain a stable ratio of RNs to population, we estimated an additional 43,000 RNs will be needed by 2010, and an additional 74,000 will be needed by 2020. Educators, employers, and state policymakers should implement concerted and coordinated efforts to avert a shortage. The magnitude of the impending shortage of RNs in California is too large for the RN labor market to resolve. State government should provide additional resources for basic RN education programs.
Purpose:To examine changes in the psychosocial status of caregivers of post‐surgical patients with cancer, and how their status was affected by (a) whether caregivers had physical problems of their own, and (b) whether the patient received a home care intervention. Many studies in this area to date have not included sufficient measurement points to identify fluctuations in psychosocial status over time. In addition, many have used caregiver health as an outcome rather than a predictor.Design:Longitudinal, randomized trial using a sample of 161 caregivers of cancer patients being treated at one large university hospital in the northeastern United States, 1993‐1996. Half the patients were randomly assigned to receive a standardized home‐care nursing intervention. The population of interest was caregivers of patients who were (a) diagnosed with a solid‐tumor cancer within the past 2 months, (b) age 60 or older, (c) hospitalized for surgical treatment of the cancer and expected to live at least 6 months, and (d) had a complex problem at hospital discharge. All caregivers were living with the patient at time of discharge.Methods:Data were collected in structured interviews administered at the time of the patients' discharge and approximately 3 and 6 months later. Psychosocial status was measured using the Caregiver Reaction Assessment and the CES‐Depression scale. A repeated‐measures analysis of variance was performed for each psychosocial measure, using as factors Time (i.e., interview 1, 2, or 3), Group (treatment and control), and Caregiver Physical Problem.Findings:Overall, psychosocial status improved from baseline to 3 months, and was about the same at 6 months. Among caregivers with physical problems, the psychosocial status of those in the treatment group declined compared to those in the control groups in the 3 months after discharge; an opposite pattern was observed in the following 3 months.Conclusions:People who are caregivers for cancer patients and have physical problems of their own are at risk for psychologic morbidity, which may have a delayed onset. This delay may reflect the replacement of an initial optimism with discouragement as the reality of long‐term illness sets in. Home care may create a situation in which caregivers are required to confront the realities of long‐term caregiving quickly, cutting short their initial optimism, but also preparing them for what is to come.
