摘要:

Within a population of 117 entrants of a practical nursing school, the predictive validity of three California tests, used as screening devices, and age were investigated. The findings indicated that age had a significant positive relationship to success in practical nursing as measured by final theory grades, National League for Nursing Achievement Test scores, licensure examination scores, and the students' clinical performance. A significant positive relationship was also observed between scores on the California Reading Test and three measures of academic success. The California Test of Mental Maturity was predictive of only one criterion, the final theory grade. The California Test of Personality was a poor predictor of academic success and all three tests failed to be predictive of on-the-job performance.

摘要:

A classification system—based on examination of 189 Notice of Research Projects (NRPs) that clearly pertained to nursing in the Smithsonian Science Information Exchange for fiscal years 1971,1972, and 1973—for a National Nursing Information Center is suggested. Categories for the proposed system are: Number of investigators, fiscal year, supporting agency, recipient organization, regional location of recipient organization, funding level, methodological considerations, sample and sample size. Also included are pertinent nursing data extracted from the NRPs while the system was being investigated.

摘要:

The essential elements of classical hypothesis testing—power, alpha, effect size, and sample size—are presented. The relationships between power and the other values and their relative importance are discussed, and an example formula for calculating minimum sample size is suggested. The authors propose that consideration and reporting of all these basic elements, particularly power, will enhance the interpretability of research reports inNURSING RESEARCH, regardless of the statistical test outcomes.

摘要:

Selected characteristics of 64 registered nurse students who entered a baccalaureate nursing program between September 1968 and September 1970 and obtained their degree by June 1971 were compared with characteristics of 33 students who either withdrew or otherwise did not complete the program within the time limitations of this study. Findings indicated that overall grade point average in the baccalaureate program. Scholastic Aptitude Test (SAT) verbal score, National League for Nursing Medical-Surgical Examination scores, and type of initial nursing program discriminated significantly between students who completed the baccalaureate degree and those who did not.
