7 What Do We Mean When We Say Nursing Research?

9 NAHRS Officers, Committee and Task Force Chairs, 2010-2011

I hope you all enjoyed the MLA program (A BIG THANKS to all those that made it happen and go so smoothly). I also hope everyone has recovered and gotten caught up from MLA because we’ve got a really busy year ahead us and we’ve already hit the ground running. The Research Committee has big plans, we are moving list servs, planning a Web site redesign, reviewing and revising the Policies and Procedures, planning a 50th anniversary celebration and more! I’m really excited that the need for a Web redesign coincided with me being your chair. The task is right up my alley and my hope is to give NAHRS a Web site that is dynamic and flexible as well as easy to maintain. I’m also headed back to my public services roots this year. My co-liaison to the School of Nursing here at UAB, Paul Mussleman, has accepted a position in Qatar. He and his wife have always wanted to travel... me not so much. While I wish him well this means that while the library searches to fill his spot I’m on deck to be the School of Nursing’s lone liaison once again. It has been four years since I’ve been on the varsity team for reference, instruction, and outreach and I’m looking forward to getting back in the game. Between NAHRS, my systems duties, filling in for Paul, and hearing about Paul’s new job I’m reminded of what a dynamic and varied profession librarianship is. I distinctly remember making the decision to be a librarian rather than to pursue a PhD in history. I made a pro and con sheet and it wasn’t any contest. The pro list of becoming a librarian far outweighed the pro list for the PhD. And now, almost fourteen years later, I can look back and say without a doubt I made the right choice. Librarianship has offered me great variety and opportunity with hardly a dull moment. But this whirlwind of variety and opportunity can be overwhelming. So, since we are facing such a jam-packed year on the way to Minnesota, I thought I’d share a few of my coping strategies.  Break things down into manageable pieces. This is how I got through my

thesis. By flat refusing to think of the thing as a whole, it really helped me

From the Chair continued keep a grasp on the project. This strategy works well for lots of things.  Realize it is ok to ask for an extension. Life happens. Sometimes you just need to allow yourself more time.  Take time to relax. The studies have proved it. If you don’t take time to relax, not only will your work suffer, your overall health will suffer.  Try to get organized. Like Holly [Hubenschmidt, our 2009/2010 chair], I keep lists. I also organize my time. Try setting aside one hour for whatever you need to get done and don’t get distracted. Turn off email, the phone, etc. And don’t get up until that hour has passed. Having written a book recently, this really works even when you don’t want to! If you have a coping strategy you would like to share email me at [email protected] and I’ll compile them for the next newsletter. In the meantime if you have comments or ideas please pass them on. I’m really looking forward to this year and hope you are too.

Remembering NAHRS Founding Member, Mary Leif, 1922-2009 In March 2009, one of NAHRS founding members, Mary Leif, MLS, RN, passed away. Mary graduated from The Washington Hospital School of Nursing (Pennsylvania) in 1946. She worked for many years at Washington Hospital, earned her BSN degree, and served as an instructor for the school of nursing there. Mary earned her MLS in 1974, and held various positions in the Washington library, ending her career as Director of the Medical Library, School of Nursing Library, and CME Program in 1989. In total, Mary dedicated 43 years of her life to Washington Hospital. Retirement did not slow her down. After retiring Mary did consulting work, served as a librarian to residents at her Sherwood Oaks community and also worked with the pet therapy program there with her beloved dog ChocO. Mary is remembered fondly by many. David Nolfi, past chair of NAHRS, remembers her stopping by the Washington library when he worked there from 1990 to 1994 to chat and retrieve articles and reflected on how highly Mary was regarded at the hospital and library. Peg Allen also remembers Mary as a wonderful person. In the August 1983 issue of the NAHRS Newsletter, then NAHRS chair Rosemary Mattox thanked Mary for her work as Section Representative and credited her with revitalizing the section. As NAHRS nears its 50th anniversary in 2012, all of us who benefit from the section as it is today have librarians like Mary to thank for not only getting the section started, but also keeping it going. Mary’s energy and dedication will certainly be missed by many. -Stephanie Schulte

Two Essential Free Apps for Apple Mobile Devices Mark D. Puterbaugh Information Systems Librarian, Eastern University, Warner Memorial Library Dropbox, Dropbox, Inc., http://www.dropbox.com. Price: free basic service and app, premium upgraded available from $9.99 to $19.99 a month. AjiReader PDF, Aji, http://www.ajidev.com. Price: free mobile app. Aji Reader Service, Aji, http://www.ajidev.com, Price free. The popularity of Apple’s iPod Touch (a.k.a. iTouch), iPhone, the iPad and other mobile devices makes it important for librarians to know something about their use. If trends continue, mobile devices will become essential tools for the librarian. Mobile devices provide a convenient means to store, retrieve and share information relevant to patrons’ needs. All comments for the two products reviewed are based on their use in an Apple iTouch with 8 gigabytes of memory and running version 3.1.3 of the operating system. The review will show that the apps described make the iTouch and similar mobile devices essential tools for librarians’ consideration. Dropbox Dropbox, a free service from https://www.dropbox.com/, “is a Web 2.0 based file hosting service operated by Dropbox, Inc. which uses cloud computing to enable users to store and share files and folders with others across the Internet using file synchronization.” [“ (service),” 2010] It is an indispensible tool for anyone using multiple computers and devices. The service provides free access to two gigabytes of storage. Paying customers can have storage up to one hundred gigabytes. Dropbox can be accessed using applications for Windows, Macintosh and Linux platforms. The mobile app is available for iTouch/iPad, Droid and the Blackberry. Lastly, files can be accessed using the Dropbox site and an Internet browser. With a Dropbox account, files are synced or matched across PCs, Macs, the Dropbox website and any phone or mobile device capable of accessing the service. If a file in the Dropbox is updated on a desktop computer linked to the Internet, as soon as another device accesses that account the files are automatically updated and synced. If a file is updated on a laptop not attached to the Internet, as soon as the laptop connects to the Internet, the web account is synced and every subsequent computer that accesses the account is updated with the latest revision. Favorite documents can be saved to a directory on a mobile device to be read regardless of a Internet connection. Files are securely maintained on the website with identical copies placed on each of the devices accessing the account. This means that there are multiple copies of documents available across all the platforms that access the Dropbox. This greatly reduces the chances of losing important information. Dropbox also maintains revision history. The free version maintains revisions for thirty days. The subscription service maintains an unlimited revision history. Dropbox's version control also helps users know the history of a file they may be currently working on, enabling more than one person to edit and re-post files without fear of losing its previous form.” [“virus protection,” 2010] This is an excellent resource for librarians’ tracking revisions of their instructional materials and other documentation. Additionally Dropbox provides a way to share files and folders either through direct invitation or via a public accessible Dropbox. Links to a file can be e-mailed providing an easy means to share documents across the Internet. Secure invitation-only Dropboxes can be established, when wishing to greatly limit access to files, a great tool for librarians wishing to share information with specific faculty, staff and students. Dropbox has partnered with several other app developers providing additional functionality for a NAHRS Newsletter

Apps continued variety of mobile devices. These can be viewed through the website. One concern about Dropbox is viral infections. This is highly unlikely as long as the virus infection software on the client is up to date. Dropbox on a client computer is treated just as any other folder. If your software automatically checks for infections, then any virus should be detected. According to support, “The virii will not automatically infect computers linked via Dropbox, only when (and if) the infected file is executed. Giving you ample time to check it, with your preferred virus-scanner.” [2009] If there is a doubt disinfect the directory before viewing a file. AjiReader PDF The second app reviewed using the iTouch is AjiReader (also available for the iPhone and iPad). It is a free app from the Apple App Store used for viewing and sharing Acrobat .pdf files. There are two parts to AjiReader PDF; 1.) iTouch app and 2.) the AjiReader Service. The AjiReader Service, which runs on a Macintosh or a PC running Windows having a wireless connection, acts as a file server to the AjiReader app on the iTouch. The AjiReader Service is available as a free download from the developers website http://www.ajidev.com. Using the AjiReader on the iTouch Acrobat files are read using the standard functionality of the interface. Move your fingers to enlarge, shrink and navigate through pages of a document. Next to the ability to read Acrobat files, the ability to download files directly into the iTouch is very important. This means that whether the device is attached to the Internet or not the files are available for the reader. This is great for reading journal articles or e-book chapters available through most research databases. Another feature is the integrated browser that functions much like the Safari browser that comes installed on the iTouch. URLs can be typed into the browser with the onscreen keyboard. Additionally, the AjiReader browser captures the most frequently used urls. This makes it easy to return to Acrobat file collections for further downloads. The AjiReader also works with the Safari browser using the pdf:// or pdfs:// protocols. While this is a fairly easy process, the AjiReader instructions should be consulted for details. It is sufficient here to say that downloading Acrobat files and reading them from the web via Safari is a straightforward process. Both means of fetching Acrobat files from the Internet worked successfully searching PubMed Central, CINAHL, Sage Premier and Google Books. Download time from the tested sites was acceptable using the campus network and remotely using Wi-Fi through a DSL based router. Finally, the AJiReader interface provides a convenient e-mail icon that allows any viewed Acrobat file to be automatically attached to a message using the iTouch default e-mail client. This is a great way to share while on the go. AjiReader Service AjiReader Service “provides a fast and convenient way to transfer PDF documents between your computer and your iPhone or iPod Touch.” Using the AjiReader Service for sharing files with a local desktop or laptop computer is easy. The AjiReader Service application acts as a file server for the client. The iTouch and the serving computer must be on the same local Wi-Fi network. Choose the “Fetch” icon from the reader app and then select the “Fetch from Aji Server" link to examine the directories on the target computer. Once in the directory, Acrobat files can be selected and sent to the Touch. The AjiReader maintains the same directory structure as found on the desktop computer. This makes for easy navigation and organization. Dropbox can also be selected as a directory served via AjiReader Service, so that Acrobat files created on a computer can be synced and accessible to the AjiReader. This adds additional functionality to both products. “More importantly, it processes PDF files for Continued on p. 11

What Do We Mean When We Say Nursing Research? Hope Leman, MLIS Research Information Technologist, Center for Health Research and Quality, Samaritan Health Services, Corvallis, OR

So what is nursing research anyway? This is a surprisingly complex issue and one that I have had to think about as I work on the free online resource ResearchRaven http://www.researchraven.com/ and have to make decisions daily about what items to place under the rubric, “Nursing Research” on it. I basically find myself putting nearly anything that has to do with public health (itself a highly elastic term) and preventive medicine (ditto) into the Nursing Research category. Not to mention end-of-life care, wound care, patient education, lots of health technology (much of which has to do with home care which itself leads to lots of material about assistive technology which I also then put under Nursing Research) and informatics material, and cancer care generally and items about complementary medicine and on and on. Here is a bit of background. I entered the field of medical librarianship in 2004 just as the movements Web 2.0, Library 2.0, Medicine 2.0 and Health 2.0 were taking off. My first position was as a library technical specialist in a community-based hospital library, Murray Memorial Library at Good Samaritan Regional Medical Center in Corvallis, Oregon which is one of the five hospitals run by Samaritan Health Services (SHS). I started as a library assistant to a superb, experienced medical librarian and was soon doing searches under her direction for any SHS employees, patients and members of the public. I soon found that a huge part of a hospital librarian’s job is doing research for nurses and allied health personnel on a large array of issues (e.g., violence against healthcare workers, shoulder dystocia, sepsis prevention). Thus, I did research for nurses who were not nurse researchers. And often the search results we provided to the nurses did not come from the nursing research literature but from medical journals, the primary audience of which was often physicians. For example, one of our biggest customers (or “patrons” if you prefer) was an assistant manager of ambulatory infusion who often needed the latest information about cancer drugs. Much of what we provided her was from the pages of the Journal of Clinical Oncology, which is not a nursing journal. Additionally, several of our nurse managers were earning master’s degrees in such fields as healthcare administration and public health and, again, much of what they needed and asked for was not strictly from the nursing research corpus but from journals in other fields and specialty journals such as those in the fields of patient education and counseling or quality improvement, journals that cater to a readership across the healthcare spectrum. You might justifiably argue that they were studying outside the field of nursing per se. But they were career nurses and their reading shows how broadly educated nurses are and how elastic our definitions of their informational needs should be. And indeed very often the information requested by nurses was not from the medical literature field at all but from publications like the Harvard Business Review. Thus, when I left the library to start work at the Center for Health Research and Quality and became a research information technologist (I am one of the increasingly large group known as librarians without libraries) and started working on developing free online services for researchers and students in the health sciences I had developed my own fairly broad definition of “nursing research.” That is, I knew that there were specific journals aimed at and written by nurse researchers such as Nursing Research and Nursing Science Quarterly. But I also began to note that nurse researchers and prominent nurses who did not self-identify as nurse researchers and who did not hold positions in schools of nursing also wrote about healthcare matters generally (such as on matters of health policy, AIDS care, gerontological matters). This has led to a certain amount of daily decision making muddles in my own head as I work on our two Web services, ScanGrants http://www.scangrants.com/ and ResearchRaven. That is, what falls under “Nursing Research” versus “Nursing?” Things are less of a challenge for me deciding such matters on ScanGrants (versus harder cases on NAHRS Newsletter

Volume 30, Issue 3

Page 8

What Do We Mean When We Say Nursing Research? continued ResearchRaven) in that as a general rule announcements of grants and scholarships and prizes for meritorious scholarship and for public service usually specify what is to be recognized. Thus, if the award is for nursing or for nursing research, I can usually decide which category (sometimes both) to put such items in and need not worry about also categorizing such items as public health, preventive medicine, health services research and so on. But on ResearchRaven matters get a little more challenging. But let’s start with the relatively straightforward case of what happens to be on ScanGrants under Nursing Research as I pen this article today. It is an odd sensation to pop over and examine my own idiosyncratic thinking but a useful exercise for me (and I hope for you, my readers!). As I look over the top few items under Nursing Research in ScanGrants as of this morning, I see, “National Patient Safety Foundation’s Research Grants Program” and the wording, “…research and development that is broadly related to identifying the causes of preventable injuries and errors and/or developing prevention strategies and methods to implement them” and “innovation and creativity are strongly encouraged, as are cross-disciplinary research teams.” Okay, sounds like Nursing Research works here. And things that might not look at first glance like items that belong under Nursing Research, such as this one, “National Multiple Sclerosis Society Mentor-Based Postdoctoral Fellowship in Rehabilitation Research” end up under my broad definition as belonging there given that this one also says, “The mentor and fellow may come from a variety of different fields including medicine, physical, occupational, or speech therapy, psychology, rehabilitation engineering, nursing, or other fields.” That works for me as Nursing Research. How about you? These are the kinds of things we have to think about. And things get even more complicated when I work on ResearchRaven given that I list on it calls for papers for conferences and for journals and list meetings. Some of those are straightforward enough in eliciting submissions from nurse researchers (e.g., “Call for Abstracts: Research and Evidence-Based Practice: Society of Trauma Nurses 2011 Annual Conference – Deep in the Heart of Trauma Care” and “Call for Abstracts: National Association of School Nurses NASN 2011, 43rd Annual Conference”). But what about other items I have put under Nursing Research such as, “Call for Abstracts: International Conference on Stigma: The Attitude That Spreads HIV” or “Call for Papers: 14th World Conference on Lung Cancer?” Now why would I put that last one under Nursing Research? Because it says, “Authors are asked to submit abstracts under one of the following categories…” and way at the bottom after such categories as “Basic Research, Cancer Biology, Novel Cancer Genes and Pathways, Technology and Models” we find “Nursing” and as far as I am concerned, if something asks for papers on nursing, we might as well err on the side of inclusiveness on ScanGrants and ResearchRaven and pin Nursing Research (and Nursing—I am still working on when to use one or the other or both) on that announcement, the better to broaden opportunities for nurses to establish a presence in venues they might previously not have been prominent at and to gain for them a greater voice in medical research and public policy debates when it comes to healthcare. That is the wonderful thing about running a Web service. You can play monarch of all that you survey and issue your own edicts. Please feel free to develop similar Web services and spend hours pondering such matters, too! The more such services and the more discussion about nursing and nursing research the better.

Apps continued Aji Reader and provides the "Metadata" required to support some of the advanced features of Aji Reader, such as Document Search, Library Search, and accessing PDF Annotations and Outlines.” The AjiReader Service was tested using a Windows VISTA Home Edition system and on an iMac running Mac OS X version 10.5.8. Both systems used a 2.66 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo with 2 GB memory. The Service worked well on both systems. One flaw in the AjiReader is the speed at which the reader can turn the pages of a document. This appears to be dependent on the file size. Some users may find this annoying if a document needs to be read quickly. Aji also offers additional apps, for annotating and marking up Acrobat files. Their growing product line adds excellent productivity tools for librarians using the iTouch, iPhone, or iPad. Are there similar products for the iTouch/iPad? Yes, but none compare to the services that Dropbox offers through a multiple of cross platform access points. Nor do any apps provide the combination of free cost and access to a PC that either tool permits. Both make excellent selections for your iTouch. References 1. (service). (2010, June 19).
