Toward an International Classification for Nursing Practice: a literature review & survey

In 1991 the International Council of Nurses (ICN) initiated a long-term project to develop an International Classification for Nursing Practice (ICNP). To identify existing classifications and nomenclatures of nursing, a literature search and survey of national nurses' associations and individuals involved in classification across the world were conducted, in addition to a pilot search for articles describing nursing nomenclatures and classifications in countries other than the US and Canada, the latter having provided most of the examples in the original ICNP proposals. Three sources of literature were examined: international conference proceedings, Med-Line and Exerpta Medica.     

Testing the robustness of the job demands-resources model.

[Correction Notice: An erratum for this article was reported in Vol 14(2) of International Journal of Stress Management (see record 2007-07240-008). Several corrections of errata in a paper by the authors published in the 2006 issue of the International Journal of Stress Management are presented: (1) The sentence beginning on page 385, line 16 should read "To avoid identification problems, the error variance of Organizational commitment and Emotional load were constrained using the formula (1 - α) × sigma2." (2) The sentence on page 385, line 18, should be deleted. (3) Degrees of freedom for M3 in Table 2 were incorrectly reported. The correct degrees of freedom were 54. The corrected table is provided.] According to the job demands-resources (JD-R) model, job demands and resources evoke two relatively independent processes: health impairment and employee motivation. The robustness of the JD-R model was tested in two different occupational samples, the first of 654 Spanish employees and the second of 477 Dutch employees. Structural equation modeling analyses provided partial evidence for the two processes. Multigroup analyses showed that the structural paths of the model were invariant across countries, although the strength of the relationships differed. We conclude that the basic structure of the JD-R model is maintained, even when applied in different national and occupational contexts, when using different ways of gathering data (computerized versus paper and pencil), and when using slightly different measures to assess the key variables of the model.
