PREFACE

The Interagency Conference on Nursing Statistics (ICONS ). is.aninformal association of statisticians from a variety of organizations

directly concerned with compiling and 'analyzing statisties on nursing.'-

The membership presently conSists of representatives from axe American.

Nurses' Association'(ANA).; the National League for Nurd'ing (NLN); heAmerican Hospital Association (AMA); and the Public Health Service,DHEW. PHS meMbership ca'me from the Buiea of Health HAnpower',. BRA,

'primarily from staff of the BHH.Division of Nunsing, and the Natianal

Center fol. Health Statistics. Other prganizatigns and governmentalagencies are invited to send'representatives as the agenda warrants.

The initiation of ICONS arose out of a meeting held in 19.53 of-statisticians from the American ,Nurses' Association and the Division of

Nursing Resources of the P4olic Health Ser/ice ta_diSbuss ways of esti-:feting the country'i nurse supply. In 1954, representatives from ANA,NLN, AHA, and the Division of Nursing Resources met to review the

methodology used to prepare joA.nt estimate's of nurse supply. In 1955,,7the group was named the Interagency Conference an Nursing Statistics

ICONS haS continued to meet "each year, thus prOViding a mechanism .

,

-fer the preparation pf national estimates of nurse snliply; for diScussionsof. completed and'needed studies, as well as providing a coordination °

function for nursing,data. The association daes not, in its own name,

ponduet any surveys. Jciowever, its functions and'activities relate to. .

many aspeets of nutSing data. -/n a recent reatatfement ef its fUnetionaICONS ontlined them as follows:

(1) - determine gaps in. planning for or collection of needed data;

(2) improve quality of nursing statistics and improve methodology;

(3) stimulate new data collection;

(4) prepare and disseminate estimates and projections of supply;

(5) 'promote cooperation and informayson sharing amollg statistical

inform the public about nursing related data bases by publishing

written and orAl presentations at con ntions and other meetings.

his publicatiOn evolved from an initial one compiled by ICONS in

INTRODUCTION

therfourth publication which highlights and-describes,.4major dies and surveys relevant to nUrsing Manpower. The.first,

-entitled Abstracts of StudiesInteratency Conference on.Nursing

Statistics, was issued ih June 1974, followed by Abstracts of StudiesIn May 1975.. Both of these publications described the studieS.conducted

and/or supported by .members of the Interagency Conference on Nursing

Statistics (ICONS), and-contained data on nurses, nursing students,. or.

thp systems within which nurses practice. AlsO included were a listing

cif basic source books preigared by members.of ICONS; and a seleOted listof surveyirelated to nursing conducted hy other agencies.

The thiet publication of this type, March 1977, expanded the scope-r

of the abstracts to include the above information together with names

and telephone numbers of people to contact for more information about.

,each dtudy, the,availabilitx of:machine-readable data files, and the.

ordering of relat,pd publication: _Entitled Llitlastm_salici,Data Sources, it was:8ompiled,by the Western Interstate Commission fOr

Higher Education as.partofthe Analysis and Planning ProjeCt f Or IMpro

ved Dlistribution of Nurs4mg iunded by the*Division'of Nursing of the4

"Bureau of Health Mangower, public Health Service.

In 1978, coMmjtted as always to the'quality of nurse manpower data,'

the ICONS members agreed that an updated.edition of the Data Source

Directory would he'most helpful to health planners'and rsearOers in

their attempts to effect areawide, coordinated imnrovement, expansion,

and development of hialth.programs and resources throughout the 'country.'

The purpose of this revised Directory is to implement the ICONS recoci

mendation by identifying and updating sources of data rei,evant-to the

study of nursing resources and other areas of coAcern in the planning'

process. Like it's predecessors,, it is not, nor.is it intended to be,-an

exhaustive listing-of.all data Sources dr publications related to..nursirig

'manpower, but is intended to emphasize the major studies or surveys con-\

ducted or supported by the ICOnmembers.'

1

The revision introduces two. new studieg, The National Sample-Survey

ok.Registered Nurses and the National Nursing Home Survey;,.It also

eliminates some references contained in the 1977 publication,.because

they did mit meee the criteria of relevancy to nursing manpower and use-.

fulness in planning for mursing resources, or data were inaccessible

to the public, e.g. out of print or no publications; or no machine-readable

tape files available. In two.instances, parts of related studies are

combined into one abstract, and.several revisions of previous seleciions

have been made and given new titles.

As in the previous publications, selection of all sources included

in the revision has been.determined by the data, content, i.e., the data

are:t:

relevant to. the study of nurse manpower, and

useful for nurse manpower planning at thp national,

, 'State, or local level.

Members 0 the Interagency Conference op Nursing Statistics sub-

mitted the abiracis of their data sources in the format shown in the

Fact Sheet peScription e(page . The Source Number or identificationV'

numbers were, assigned by the_editor.after all submissions were received.

All other 4nformation contained in the Fact Sheet was,furnished in wtitink

by the IC9N,S members.

Th& aame Fact Sheet, together with thg information contained in

the 197Direttory of Nursing-aelated Data 'Sources,'was used by the

editovaS a basis for telephone calls to the agencies that.are-not

membertof ICONS. The contact persons'iisted in the 1977 publication,

if avetlable, were told the purpose of this compilation, and were _asked

for crent information about their.studies And surveys, new publications,.*t

or sgge,pted aeletiolits. In agencies where reorganization had occurred,

or onasfers oi personnel made since 1976, the current study director

su p4ed the data. The abstracts were then briefed by the editor.

, The Index to Data Sources by Subject Classification (pages 7-9)4

.

list each data sourde alphabetically. The Source Number is an arbitrary,

identification number preceded by .the letter A if the stAr is sponsored

by an ICONS member; the leiter B if sponsoreS by.another agency. The

page numbers are consecutive. The Subject Classifications are structured

into the general areas of Nursing Personnel, Nursing Education,,

Health Care Delivery System, and/or the Client Population.

,Because the emphasis of this pubtication is on studies ad sUrveys

conducted or.supported by members of ICONS, the absSracts are presented

n two partS.

Part A coMprises 35 major data sources submitted by ICONS members

who reviewed and updated the information given in the 1977 publication'

and added or subtracted items as appropriate. Each reference classifies

the subject area in one or more of four 'general categories: Nursing

Peronnelt Nursing Education', Health Care Delivery System, Clienf

Population; and lists the following kinds of inf*mation:

Type and description of the Stndy or survey

History, frequency', and latest edition

whom

Persons or agencies to contact for further 4nfor-
