Report of the Community Integrated Living Arrangement Nursing Services Reimbursement Work Group to the Secretary of the Department of Human Services, the Illinois General Assembly, and the Honorable Rod R. Blagojevich, Governor : in response to Senate Resolution 514 /

This report presents the findings and recommendations of the Work Group; it evaluates the Division of Developmental Disabilities' CILA rate model in terms of the sufficiency of nursing services included in the model, as well as the competitiveness of the wage levels assumed by the model for nurses working in the CILAs. In accordance with Resolution 514, the report is the product of the Working Group's discussions and requests for information and has been facilitated by the Department of Human Services, Division of Developmental Disabilities. As such, the report does not represent the recommendations of the Department of Human Services, nor can the Department of Human Services make any commitment to implement any of the report recommendations or commit funding without executive and legislative direction and a funding appropriation. However, the recommendations of the Work Group are consistent with the nursing services structures of the CILA rate-model and would enhance nursing services reimbursement in CILA, if adopted.

Cot-nursing using a heated, water-filled mattress and incubator care: a randomized clinical trial

Aims: To evaluate the thermal responses and weight gain in preterm infants nursed in a cot on a heated, water-filled mattress (HWM) compared with infants receiving care in an air-heated incubator and to compare mothers' stress, anxiety levels and perceptions of their infants in the two groups. Methods: Stable preterm infants weighing 1300 to 1500 g were enrolled, being randomly allocated to either the study group (n = 41) receiving care in a cot on an HWM, or the control group ( n = 33) receiving incubator care. The mean daily body temperature and episodes of cold stress and hyperthermia were recorded. Weight gain (g kg(-1) body weight d(-1)) was also calculated. The mothers completed questionnaires on their perceptions of their infants, and their anxiety and stress levels before randomization, and 2 - 3 wk later during the trial. Results: The mean body temperature was similar for the first week of the trial ( study group 36.9degreesC vs controls 36.9degreesC). There were no significant differences in the incidence of cold stress, while more hyperthermic episodes were seen in the study group ( p = 0.03). There were no significant differences in weight gain during the first ( study group 21.4 g vs controls 19.6 g) or second weeks of the trial ( study group 20.5 g vs controls 19.2 g). Neonatal morbidity did not differ between the groups. There were no differences in mothers' perceptions of their babies, or feelings of stress or anxiety. Conclusion: There were no differences between infants cot-nursed on an HWM and those receiving incubator care, with the exception of episodes of high temperature. The results suggest that the HWM may be used safely for low-weight preterm infants.

OHS in the nursing workplace: accountability and the management of stress

There has been growing interest in occupational stress in the nursing context, both in New Zealand and internationally. This article takes a critical approach to the literature on nursing stress by examining the implications of a body of research largely informed by a theoretical approach which highlights the individual. In spite of evidence that the main sources of stress for nurses are related to workplace conditions, the focus is on the individual nurse and his/her personal response to stress. This approach encourages the development of interventions where the objectives are the individual management of stress, and thereby consolidates nurses' perceptions of powerlessness. Alternatives to these palliative measures, such as highlighting the legal obligations for employers to provide a safe workplace or collective industrial action for change, are glaringly absent in the literature. The importance of such an approach is supported by recent findings from the United States on the advantages of hospitals which promote nurses' autonomy and control.
