Nephrology nursing 1915-1970: a historical study of the integration of technology and care
1University of Virginia, Charlottesville, VA, USA.
Abstract:
Findings of this study of the role and functions of nurses working with renal dialysis and transplant teams between 1915 and 1970 suggest that many of the activities of dialysis and transplant nurses were assistive and technical in nature. However, further analysis of the characteristics of direct nursing care demonstrates that early nephrology nurses incorporated family support, interpersonal communication, and patient teaching as essential components in order to assist patients and their families in coping with the stresses of receiving these new experimental treatments.
