The label of 'self-neglect' continues to generate much debate in the health care literature. Specially constructed vignettes using six variables (socio economic status, self-care deficits, stated preference for lifestyle, mental illness, functional ability and gender) that the researchers considered played a part in the conceptualisation of self neglect were used in this research project. The sample consisted of nursing students and qualified psychiatric and general nurses. Judgements of self-neglect were measured on a visual analogue scale, and analysis of the data revealed a complex picture. 20 references.
