Leapspace ii - References
Of the references listed by LEAPSPACE #6 stood out:
Merritt, M.K., Procter, N. (2010) Conceptualising the functional role of mental health consultation-liaison nurse in multi-morbidity, using Peplau's nursing theory. Contemporary Nurse. https://doi.org/10.5172/conu.2010.34.2.158
Had I missed this? When I hear (read) of new citation for Hodges' model, it is added to the blog's bibliography. So, what about this one?
I could not access the full-paper initially, but did so at:
https://lmscontent.embanet.com/MVU/NURS600/Readings/W3_Peplau.pdf
I can see that Merrit and Proctor reference the following [#16 of 1-46]:
Jones, P. (1998). Hodges’ health career – Care domains – Model, nursing – Art or science? Retrieved October 4, 2009, from http://www.pjones.demon.co.uk/holsci.html
This additional cognitive and motivational nourishment is welcome. They are spot on with '1998', the year the former website (p-jones.demon.co.uk) went live.
Pre-2015 and indicative of (what will increasingly follow) from AI, LLMs, agentic ai - LEAPSPACE found a page on the now archived website:
https://web.archive.org/web/20150409004111/http://www.p-jones.demon.co.uk/index.htm
While a positive, perhaps (again) we should worry about regurgitation? Although on another level perhaps the definition of 'grey literature' is also being (has been) redefined?
There is a positive in the author's acknowledgement of Hodges' model on several counts, being associated with:
- Highlighting the need for inclusion of mental health/illness (parity of esteem);
- Peplau's seminal work;
- A search to link mental health with other specialities (emergency, liaison, burns);
- Recognition of the inverse (psychological care within medicine);
- The fact of being listed with Phil Barker (Tidal Model).
Negatively, on the archived homepage (above) many links to content may not work:
The (rather short but referenced) page Merrit and Proctor list is available here:
https://web.archive.org/web/20111018204743/http://www.p-jones.demon.co.uk/holsci.html
I will insert this paper in the bibliographical listing; and revisit this.
