Silence on griffiths.
Nursing Standard (Royal College of Nursing (Great Britain) : 1987)
|May 26, 2016
Summary
A conference on the Griffiths Mark Two report for nurses was planned but had to be cancelled due to a disappointing response. Only 26 delegates registered, indicating low engagement with the community care agenda.
Area of Science:
- Health policy and nursing management.
- Healthcare reform and professional development.
Background:
- The Griffiths Mark Two report, also known as 'Community Care-agenda for action,' aimed to address key issues in community care.
- Nurses were anticipated to require a platform to discuss the implications of this significant policy document.
Purpose of the Study:
- To organize a conference to facilitate discussion among nurses regarding the Griffiths Mark Two report.
- To gauge nurse engagement with the community care agenda and its proposed actions.
Main Methods:
- A conference was planned with a delegate fee of £10.
- The primary method involved assessing delegate registration numbers.
Main Results:
- The conference faced a disappointing response, with only 26 delegate applications received.
- The low registration numbers necessitated the cancellation of the event.
Conclusions:
- The minimal uptake suggests a potential lack of perceived need or engagement among nurses regarding the Griffiths Mark Two report.
- Further investigation is warranted to understand barriers to nurse participation in policy-related forums.

The total amount of current flowing per unit cross-sectional area is called the current density. Hence, the current passing through a cross-sectional area can be written as the surface integral of the current density.

Consider an external electric field propagating through a homogeneous medium. When the electric field crosses the surface boundary of the medium, it undergoes a discontinuity. The electric field can be resolved into normal and tangential components. The amount by which the field changes at any boundary is given by the difference between the field components above and below the surface boundary.

When placed in an external electric field, a dielectric material gets polarized. The charge density in the dielectric material is given by the sum of the bound and free charge densities, while the total charge density can also be written in terms of the total electric field. The bound charge density can be measured in terms of polarization, leading to the relationship between electric displacement and polarization.

The divergence and Stokes' theorems are a variation of Green's theorem in a higher dimension. They are also a generalization of the fundamental theorem of calculus. The divergence theorem and Stokes' theorem are in a way similar to each other; The divergence theorem relates to the dot product of a vector, while Stokes' theorem relates to the curl of a vector. Many applications in physics and engineering make use of the divergence and Stokes' theorems, enabling us to write...

4.9K
In mathematics and physics, the gradient and del operator are fundamental concepts used to describe the behavior of functions and fields in space. The gradient is a mathematical operator that gives both the magnitude and direction of the maximum spatial rate of change. Consider a person standing on a mountain. The slope of the mountain at any given point is not defined unless it is quantified in a particular direction. For this reason, a "directional derivative" is defined, which is a vector...

A line integral for a vector field is defined as the integral of the dot product of a vector function with an infinitesimal displacement vector along a prescribed path. If the prescribed path is closed, the integrals reduce to a closed-line integral. The closed-contour integral of the vector field is referred to in terms of the circulation of the vector field around the closed path. A vector with zero circulation around every closed path is called a conservative field, while one with non-zero...
