In this study an attempt was made to measure attitudes that women hold about menopause and the knowledge base women have on menopause. Their sources of information on health matters and persons they considered supportive were also examined. A survey was conducted by means of an anonymous questionnaire given to 250 women; 130 were returned. The results of the survey showed a low positive correlation between attitude toward and knowledge of menopause. A relationship was also shown to exist between knowledge level and income level, with women in the upper income level showing a better knowledge level. A generally positive attitude toward menopause was seen in this sample. A fairly good knowledge base was also seen, although several areas of concern became evident. It was concluded that nursing attention should be directed toward improving the client's knowledge level, especially in lower income women.

Reviews of six books that offer some perspective on the nature of women and their roles, the female‐dominated profession of nursing and its growth in research, professional ethics, and bioethics are presented. These particular reviews are offered as guidelines for persons interested in exploring the interrelationships of women, ethics, and professionals within the context of issues in providing health care for and by women.

A study of 308 midwestern college women was undertaken to ascertain their health care practices, problems, and needs. Specific areas investigated were smoking, alcohol consumption, and drug use; gynecologic health practices and problems; nutrition, exercise, and coping strategies; and physical illness and disabilities. The majority of young women in this study appeared to be in good health. Although there were few negative health factors, those factors identified have significance for long‐term health. Problems were identified in the areas of nutrition, gynecologic health practices, and coping strategies. This survey pointed out the need for further study of practices that influence the health of young women.

Uneven distribution of health care is one of the most controversial topics concerning professionals. Despite the advances made in medical care, there are still neglected groups of patients. Nurses represent perhaps the nation's most appropriate resource capable of responding to the inequity in delivery of health care services. While nurses have the power of numbers, knowledge, position, and pride to improve the quality of care for the underserved population, they must exercise the power of politics to make this goal a reality.

This paper divides, reviews, and describes the relationships among the important issues involved in prolonged gestation and the inherent potential for reproductive risk. The prevalence and significance of the problem is illustrated through comparison of recent reports. Possible physiologic and psychologic contributing factors are discussed including hypothesized etiology as well as recognized associated events. The relationship of prolonged gestation to fetal postmaturity is discussed in pathophysiologic detail. The effects of postmaturity on the developing child with implications for follow‐up are also presented. Assessment of fetal and neonatal status for the purpose of risk identification develops the theme of reduction of reproductive casualties during this period. Finally, the nursing implications are discussed at the primary and secondary perinatal settings, with emphasis on maintaining psychologic and physiologic equilibrium.

A variety of developmental and situational crises are examined for their influence on female sexual identity. These changes are related to coping behaviors associated with loss and the grief process. Components of female sexual identity are described. A self‐care nursing framework is designated from which nursing roles, measures, and responsibilities are identified to promote a positive female sexual identity.
