This paper is a report of a study to describe the different ways of understanding work among a group of Swedish telenurses. ⋯ The categories together constitute a telenursing 'workmap'. This 'workmap' can be used for reflection to expand telenurses' current understanding of work, and hence promote competence development. Telenurses need to be aware of their role in public health education.

Multicenter Study Comparative Study
Indicators of pain in neonates at risk for neurological impairment.
This paper is a report of a study to compare the importance and usefulness ratings of physiological and behavioural indicators of pain in neonates at risk for neurological impairment by nurse clinicians and pain researchers. ⋯ Facial actions were rated as the most important indicators of neonatal pain. However, as neurological impairment risk increased, physiological indicators were rated more important by nurse clinicians and pain researchers, opposite to pain indicators demonstrated by neonates.

Multicenter Study
Service quality in hospital wards with different nursing organization: nurses' ratings.
This paper is a report of a study to assess: (1) the relations between nursing organization models in hospital wards and nurses' perception of the quality of patient care and dimensions of the practice environment, and (2) if these relations were modified by variations in local conditions at the ward level. ⋯ Caution is needed about using service quality arguments when considering the possible benefits and drawbacks of different organizational models.
