摘要:

Use of a Q-Cards technique in group interviews, in which a stack of cards containing a “trigger” phrase was placed before each member of each group, resulted in more productive responses and freer flow of opinions; provided a more systematic yet less visible structure; and encouraged fuller participation in the grup process by all group members in a shorter time and with less overlap. Use of a modified content analysis technique for objective coding and quantifying of a large amount of subjective data from a group interview provided reliability and consistency. The methodological findings grew out of an ongoing curriculum evalution study following a curriculum change at the University of San Francisco School of Nursing.

摘要:

Four psotcardiotomy patients ranging in age from 46 to 64 years, who did not demonstrate a previous history of mental illness or brain damage, and whose surgery had necessitated use of the cardiopulmonary bypass, were studied to ascertain if sleep deprivation does occur in selected postoperative cardiotomy patients, the amount of uninterrupted rest apparently available to the patients, if behavioral manifestations of sleep deprivation occur, and the nature of nursing activities which may interfere with the patients' sleep during the hours of 11 p.m. to 7a.m. Descriptive data were obtained by means of nonparticipant observation with subject awareness. Presence of sleep as well as potential interruptions of sleep were recorded at ten-minute intervals. None of the subjects obtained more than four potential sleep cycles per night, the mean being less than one per night. The frequency of periods of uninterrupted rest of 60 or more minutes varied from zero to seven, the mean being three and three-tenths. Two of four subjects demonstrated paranoid behavior. The mean number of potential interruptions of sleep varied from 56 on the first postoperative night to five and one-half on the eighth postoperative night. The most frequent sources of potential interruptions were direct and indirect monitoring and measures to promote respiration.

摘要:

When 37 second- and third-year nursing students in a Nigerian hospital School of nursing identified stressful situations in academic, personal, social, and clinical areas, 36 reported stressful events concerned with their clinical experience. The greatest cause of stress was critical evaluation of their professional performance, followed by patient hostility toward them.

摘要:

Two computations in a series of ongoing studies on prediction of success in a collegiate program of nursing are reported. In both studies, results obtained via product moment and multiple regression analyses demonstrated that collegiate nursing grade point average (GPA) could be predicted using 20 or even five predictors, but prenursing (freshman and sophomore) GPA emerged as the significant variable in overall prediction. In the data presented first, 56 intellective, interest, personality, and educational varibales were examined as potential GPA predictors on two independent student samples. The data in the second study used 55 variables (omitting the prenursing GPA). Under cross-validation, in the study discussed first, the best five predictors manifested only minimal predictive shrinkage, and prenursing GPA clearly emerged as the single most significant predictor; in the second study, when prenursing GPA was deleted from the prediction matrix, considerable prediction shrinkage occurred, revealing that prenursing GPA clearly was a significant factor in overall prediction.
