7. Using traction

Abstract

The use of Hamilton-Russell traction should be limited to patients who have had hip fracture treatment delayed for some reason. A study into the occurrence of bed sores found Hamilton-Russell traction did not increase the chance of bed sore formation and traction could actually help pain management. Hamilton-Russell traction is used to align fractured bones by use of force to maintain a fixed position. The system was invented by Robert Hamilton Russell in 1924.

Abstract

This paper explores the professional ethics of spiritual assessment by health professionals. Recent developments in the literature suggest that there is growing interest in the practice of spiritual assessment. We begin by reviewing recent publications in the nursing and wider health literature that describe generic, quantitative, and qualitative approaches to spiritual assessment. We then link these methods to specific discourses of spirituality. We suggest there are three major discourses, namely evidence-based, secularist, and critical spiritualities. We conclude our paper by outlining a number of professional-ethical implications of spiritual assessment. We explore whether the nursing mandate extends to include the more intrusive forms of spiritual assessment. We express doubt as to whether there is sufficient evidence in favor of spiritual interventions to validate the practice of spiritual assessment, and we note the tensions that exist, especially in the United Kingdom, concerning the provision of spiritual care in publicly funded health care.
