摘要:

The purpose of this study was to examine what aspects of the mother-child relationship are measured by the Nursing Child Assessment Teaching Scale (NCATS). A racially heterogeneous sample of 128 mothers completed questionnaires measuring maternal depression, parenting self-efficacy, knowledge of developmental and parenting principles, and perceived difficult toddler temperament. Mothers and children were also videotaped during home visits while completing two teaching tasks that were later scored using the NCATS. NCATS Parent subscale scores were significantly related to maternal knowledge and education but unrelated to depression and self-efficacy. Child subscale scores were unrelated to all of the study variables, including perceived difficult temperament. Significant differences were noted among African-American, Hispanic, and white mothers. The findings suggest that the NCATS taps cognitive factors more reliably than affective factors underlying the mother-child relationship and the cognitive factors may be culturally biased.

摘要:

The reliability and validity of the Spanish language version of the Health-Promoting Lifestyle Profile (Spanish-HPLP) was evaluated for a predominantly Central American sample. A convenience sample (N = 106) completed the demographic sheet and Spanish-HPLP. Alpha coefficients were 0,94 for the total scale and ranged from 0.64 to 0.89 for the subscales. Significant Pearson correlations were found between Spanish-HPLP scores and the variables of age, education, income, length of residence in the United States, and perceived health status. Significant differences based on sex and marital status were noted. The Spanish-HPLP was found to be reliable for this sample. Although content and construct validity were supported, the instrument is in need of further convergent, or criterion-related validation.

摘要:

The purpose of this study was to explore the relationships of functional, urological, and environmental characteristics to the frequency of urinary incontinence in 131 community-dwelling older women. Subjects with detrusor instability with or without concomitant genuine stress incontinence had significantly more impaired physical functioning, slower gait speeds, smaller bladder capacities, and less ability to delay voiding than subjects with genuine stress incontinence alone. Age, distance to toilet used most, and toilet-gait speed explained 17% of the variance in incontinence severity. Younger age, slower mobility, and a shorter distance to reach the toilet were associated with a higher frequency of incontinence. Physical functional status and urological characteristics, including urodynamic diagnosis, did not predict incontinence severity. These findings confirm, in part, the commonly held assumption that mobility and the environment influence urinary incontinence.

摘要:

Efficient research design and well-chosen methods of analysis help immensely in clearing the way for coherent interpretation of study results. The articles published in the “Methodology Corner” are particularly useful for accomplishing this objective. In this issue of Nursing Research, we have again been able to expand this valuable feature into an entire section.
