    Abstract Funding bodies and accreditation organizations now demand objective data from hospice evaluations, and quantitative measures assessing outcomes. This is despite the fact that the goals and outcomes of hospice practice are not reductionist and are not easily quantified. One alternative to this bureaucratic challenge that does not necessitate compromise to hospice ideology is to develop an assessment tool through qualitative research using phenomenological data on carers' insights with regard to hospice practice. In this article, the findings from the qualitative research that preceded the development of the assessment tool provide an insight into the key issues that carers give priority in evaluating a hospice. These findings provide valuable baseline data for understanding aspects of hospice practice that are valued by carers. The information gathered is a significant affirmation of the success of the hospice ideology and highlights the need to protect this precious philosophy. In short, it is an important statement about the need to keep the hospice spirit alive in client satisfaction. The findings from the qualitative study for the questionnaire can be interpreted as an affirmation to hospice workers that their vision and beliefs are valued and appreciated by those they serve.

    Abstract Objectives of this study were to determine whether single-family room (SFR) design enhances parental presence, involvement, and maternal well-being during neonatal intensive care hospitalization. An observational cohort including mothers of infants was randomly assigned to receive care in a tertiary-level open-bay (OB) (n = 35) or SFR (n = 36). Mothers were asked to complete daily diaries documenting parental presence, involvement in care, and questionnaires examining maternal well-being. Mother and father mean presence (standard deviation) was significantly higher in the SFR-17.4 (5.2) and 13.6 (6.8)-compared to OB-11.9 (6.3) and 4.6 (3.7) hours/day. Total time spent in care activities did not differ for mothers, except SFR mothers spent more time expressing breast milk (EBM). SFR fathers had greater involvement with care activities. There were no other significant differences. The SFR was associated with greater maternal presence, but not greater involvement in care activities except for EBM, nor improved maternal well-being. The SFR appears to have greater impact on fathers' involvement in care and comforting activities, although the amount of time involved remained quite low compared with mothers. Further studies examining ways to enhance parental involvement in the neonatal intensive care unit are warranted.

    Abstract Background: Presence in the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) is a vital step for caregivers initiating involvement, such as skin-to-skin contact, holding or singing/reading to their newborn. Little is known about caregiver presence and involvement in Canadian NICU's context by caregiver type (mother, father, other), and the association between maternal presence and key maternal and newborn characteristics.
    Purpose: The primary objective was to examine the presence and involvement of family caregivers in the NICU. The secondary objective was to examine the relationship between maternal presence and maternal and newborn characteristics.
    Design and methods: A prospective observational cohort study in an open bay setting of an Eastern Canadian NICU. Presence (physically present at the newborn's bedside) and involvement (e.g., skin-to-skin, singing/reading) were tracked daily by families in the NICU until discharge. Demographic information was also collected.
    Results: Participants included 142 mothers and their newborns. Mothers were present 8.7 h/day, fathers were present 4.1 h/day, and other caregivers were present 1.8 h/day in the NICU in the first 34 days. Mothers were involved in care activities 50% of the time they were present in the NICU, whereas fathers and other caregivers were spending 20% and 6% of their time respectively. Regression identified maternal age, distance to home, parity, birthweight, and length of stay to be statistically significant variables related to maternal presence.
    Conclusions: There is variation in presence and involvement by caregiver type. Targeted interventions to maintain and increase mothers, fathers and other caregivers' presence and involvement in care throughout their stay in the NICU are recommended.

    Abstract The many gains that have been made toward achieving equal education for women will definitely affect the world future. There are now more women throughout the world that can read and write, and the opportunity for literacy has provided them with a means for achieving social mobility and for participating in the affairs of both their own communit ies and the larger world. Now almost as many females as males are enrolled in primary and secondary schools in every continent except Africa and Asia. The most rapid gains, however, are being made at the university level, and since higher education is the training arena for leadership positions, this gain will have a greater impact on society than did the early gains at the primary and secondary school levels. Changes in the behavior of women tend to appear 1st and be most apparent among the college educated. This group will experiment with new lifestyles, concentrate on professional careers, and will choose to have the fewest number or no children. Additionally, it is the women in the college educated group who are most actively involved in women's rights and who tend to challenge traditional male-female role stereotypes. In almost every country educated women have fewer children, and healthier and better educated children than women without education. They are more responsive to family planning, because they understand it and because they want to keep working. Educated women also achieve higher l abor force participations rates, higher productivity, and higher earnings. These fertility and economic rates have desirable implications for a woman's status in the family. Education allows women to enter "the system" and once there they will have to make a difference. Changes in female access to education reveal other social t ransformations and offer an index of future changes in fertility patterns, family status, martial behavior and support for ideas of sexual equality. Further discussion concentrates on the following areas: 1) the historical background of this educational trend, 2) women's literacy, 3) the primary school experience, 4) women and secondary education, 5) acquiring technical skills, 6) women in the universities, 7) women as educators, and 8) obstacles and solutions to full equality in education.
