Abstract
AIM This paper is a report of a study conducted to describe emergency department nurses' understanding and experiences of implementing discharge planning. BACKGROUND Discharge planning in the emergency department is an important issue because of increased healthcare costs and greater emphasis on continuity of care. When executed as a collaborative process involving a multi-disciplinary team with the patient and family, discharge planning provides continuity of care for patients, less demand on hospitals, improvement in community services and in the services of other healthcare organizations. METHOD The qualitative approach of phenomenography was used in this study. Thirty-two emergency department nurses were recruited between July and September 2005. Semi-structured interviews were conducted. FINDINGS From interviewees' descriptions of implementing discharge planning, six categories were established: implementing discharge planning as 'getting rid of my patients', completing routines, being involved in patient education, professionally accountable practice, autonomous practice and demonstrating professional emergency department nursing care. The referential meaning of implementing discharge planning 'in the outcome space' was the professional commitment to emergency department provision of effective discharge services. CONCLUSION The results of this research contribute to knowledge of emergency department nurses' experience in the implementation of the discharge planning process. Key requirements for the provision of manageable discharge services both in Taiwan and worldwide highlighted by this study include adequate workloads, sufficient time, clear policies and standards of discharge planning and enhancement of professional commitment.

Abstract
Adenosine A(2A) receptor agonists may be important regulators of inflammation. Such conclusions have come from studies demonstrating that, (i) adenosine A(2A) agonists exhibit anti-inflammatory properties in vitro and in vivo, (ii) selective A(2A) antagonists enhance inflammation in vivo and, (iii) knock outs of this receptor aggravate inflammation in a wide variety of in vivo models. Inflammation is a hallmark of asthma and COPD and adenosine has long been suggested to be involved in disease pathology. Two recent publications, however, suggested that an inhaled adenosine A(2A) receptor agonist (GW328267X) did not affect either the early and late asthmatic response or symptoms associated with allergic rhinitis suggesting that the rationale for treating inflammation with an adenosine A(2A) receptor agonist may be incorrect. A barrier to fully investigating the role of adenosine A(2A) receptor agonists as anti-inflammatory agents in the lung is the side effect profile due to systemic exposure, even with inhalation. Unless strategies can be evolved to limit the systemic exposure of inhaled adenosine A(2A) receptor agonists, the promise of treating lung inflammation with such agents may never be fully explored. Using strategies similar to that devised to improve the therapeutic index of inhaled corticosteroids, UK371,104 was identified as a selective agonist of the adenosine A(2A) receptor that has a lung focus of pharmacological activity following delivery to the lung in a pre clinical in vivo model of lung function. Lung-focussed agents such as UK371,104 may be suitable for assessing the anti-inflammatory potential of inhaled adenosine A(2A) receptor agonists.

Abstract
With advancing technology and transformation in health care delivery, more chronically ventilator-dependent children are being discharged to home. Pediatric home health care aims to increase the quality of life of patients and families, decrease cost and duration of hospital stay, and promote community participation in health care delivery. The authors aimed to describe and identify the qualitatively different experiences of primary caregivers who support ventilator-dependent children at home. Through phenomenographic inquiry 17 primary caregivers described their experiences through interviews that were later analyzed using accepted qualitative methods. Seven categories of description and an outcome space were identified, with findings highlighting the unique experience of this group and providing insight into their personal, social, and collective experiences. Outcomes reveal the significant and distinctive nature of understanding and have implications for clinical practice development, health education, policy formulation, social support, and future research in pediatric home health care.

Abstract
AIM To describe the qualitatively different ways a group of Australian nurses understood their experience of being a palliative care nurse. DESIGN The research approach chosen was phenomenography. Fifteen nurses caring for people in a specialist palliative care unit in regional Australia were interviewed and transcribed interview data were analysed in order to identify understanding of experience. FINDINGS The research identified and described five ways of understanding the experience of being a palliative care nurse: doing everything you can; developing closeness; working as a team; creating meaning about life; and maintaining myself. CONCLUSION The group of palliative care nurses involved in this research understood their experience as journeying with their patients through the final phases of the person's life. The journey involved the patient, his/her family and members of the healthcare team. The journey was described further as a process of personal development which influenced how nurses construct meaning about life and maintain a sense of self. The experiences described reveal a great deal about palliative care nursing and provide useful knowledge and insights to assist practitioners, managers and educators.

Abstract
The amount and complexity of information nurses are expected to manage continues to increase exponentially. Support has grown for integrated curriculum approaches that include appropriate content on the use of a variety of information formats and instruction using resource-based and process methods. Such teaching-learning approaches demand a major shift in educational paradigms and encompass resource-based learning, undergraduate research, service learning, inquiry learning, and problem-based learning. The implementation of an integrated curriculum promises advanced information skills, access, and use of available evidence to support clinical decision making and a foundation for lifetime learning. In this article, we argue that for information literacy to be enhanced, collaboration between teaching faculty and librarians must be fostered in meaningful ways. We report on the rationale of an integrated curriculum, changes to nursing education, and obstacles to the development and application of advanced information skills that exist within higher education and clinical settings.

Abstract
The HIV/AIDS pandemic is posing major challenges to all sectors in South Africa, including the health sector of the city of Johannesburg. The health sector of the city of Johannesburg, as a result of the pandemic, is faced with increasing demands on its scarce resources at a time of major reform at local government level including transformation of the health sector. The overall objective of the study is to explore and describe a strategy for the management of HIV/AIDS by the health sector of the city of Johannesburg. An exploratory, descriptive and quantitative research design was utilized and the UNAIDS "Guide to the strategic planning process for a national response to HIV/AIDS" (1998), was employed to formulate the strategy. The content validity of the strategy was determined according to the process originally described by Lynn (1986) and adopted by Muller (in Booyens, 1998:607-609). The research was conducted in two phases. The first phase, the developmental phase, involved the exploration and description of the theoretical framework and the response to the pandemic, and formulation of a draft strategy. The second phase, the quantification phase, involved the assertion of the content of the strategy by a group of experts and determination of the content validity index (CVI). The final strategy focused on the following: to lead and facilitate intersectoral collaboration; to strengthen primary health care services to provide comprehensive community-based care; prevention of new infections; community mobilization towards prevention, non discrimination and non stigmatization and empowerment of the health sector to deal with the AIDS.pandemic. The CVI results showed that the average content validity index determined during this study was adequate: full score (1.0) for acceptability and technical soundness, and 0.89 for feasibility and perceived affordability. The strategy formulated for the management of HIV/AIDS by the health sector of the city of Johannesburg is therefore acceptable, technically sound and feasible and perceived as affordable. It was finally recommended that the strategy be adopted for implementation within the health sector of the city of Johannesburg.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Advances in medical technology and nursing care have enabled children who rely on long-term medical and technical support to reunite with their families and community. The impact of discharging these children into the community involves a number of unprecedented social implications that warrant policy consideration. To begin with, an effort must be made to understand the phenomenon of caring for technology-dependent children living at home. AIM The aim of this paper is to provide a comprehensive literature review on caring for technology-dependent children living at home. METHODS The review was conducted via keyword searches using various electronic databases. These included CINAHL, MEDLINE, Social Science Index, Sociological Abstracts, Australian Family and Society Abstracts, and the Australian Bureau of Statistics. The articles and books found were examined for commonality and difference, significant themes were extracted, and the strength of the research methods and subsequent evidence were critiqued. FINDINGS In this paper, themes relating to home care for technology-dependent children and their families are elucidated and summarized. These are: chronic illness and children; the impact of paediatric home care on children; the uniqueness of technology-dependent children and their families; and parents' experience of paediatric home care. DISCUSSION Contentious issues, relevant to the social life of these children and their families, are raised and are discussed with the intention of extending awareness and provoking further debate among key stakeholders. These issues include: the changed meaning of home; family dynamics; social isolation; saving costs for whom?; shifts in responsibility; and parent-professional relationships. CONCLUSION More research is needed in the arena of paediatric home care, to facilitate relevant policy formation and implementation.
