摘要:

When in three midwestern facilities. 49 psychiatric staff nurses, who ranged in age from 20 to 65 years, were questioned about their current duties and their willingness to extend their roles, young, recent graduates were found to be more willing to change themselves personally and professionally.

摘要:

To examine the association between professional attitude and selected situational and demographic factors of baccalaureate nursing students, 157 female students from an upper division major who had not had other college or nursing education answered a questionnaire which incorporated Osgood et al.'s Semantic Differential Test, Hogan's Professional Altitude Test, and an adaptation of the Dawson et al. instructor-leader behaviors. Eight hypotheses were tested. Professional attitude was found to be highest for students 24 to 26 years of age, who saw nursing as highly positive and highly active, had most formal and informal nursing experience, and perceived teachers as taking strong positions on their beliefs and relating to them with high consideration throughout their program and with low structuring when they were seniors. Professional attitude of students was not associated significantly with potency attributed to nursing, career choice, parents' level of education, or placement in sibling group.

摘要:

Regression equations were computed and cross-validated for predicting nurses scores on each of the five state hoard examinations (SBEs). Scores on Jive National League for Nursing (NLN) achievement tests of 101 nurses who graduated from a baccalaureate program between 1968 and 1972 were used as predictor variables. Stepwise regression analysis was used to compute the equations which were, in turn, used to predict the SBE scores for an independent sample of nurses who graduated in 1973. Cross-validation correlations between the predicted and actual obtained scores of the 1973 graduates ranged from .64 to .81. For each equation, the NLN test scores in Nursing of Children and Obstetric Nursing were consistently the best indicators of performance on the SBEs. Additionally, a factor analysis indicated that the SBEs do not measure independent entities, but that all five examinations have high loadings on the same factor. The results suggest that nursing programs should develop and validate prediction equations to assist nurses in preparing for SBEs.

摘要:

This study investigated if nursing pen sonnel would increase, written evidence of the nursing process if favorable consequences were arranged. The charting of 23 nurses was observed and tabulated for a three-neck period. These base-line data were averaged and shared with each nurse, at which lime each nurse set a goal (relative to increased charting) and chose a reward contingent upon achieving that goal. During the next three weeks the nurses were again observed, at the end of which results were tabulated and rewards given. The two periods were repeated. Results showed a sharp increase in charting during each reinforcement phase and a fall off during the second base-line period that was lower than the first base-line. The target behavior, therefore, was found to be increased by systematic reinforcement.
