摘要:

This article discusses the development and significant aspects of Florence Nightingale's beliefs and philosophy as they contributed to her character formation and the roles through which she has been historically recognized. Her beliefs about God and man, explored against a backdrop of the Victorian world, are shown as the essence of her philosophy out of which she initiated major changes in the social life of England. Nightingale's substantive corrective reforms, reflected in attitudinal, educational, organizational, and sociopolitical changes, and her system for effecting them are presented. Chief among these reforms were the system of initiation of nursing as a service and an education; constructive social utilization of women; education for women; national health, hospital and military medical reform for the British Empire, including India. Nightingale's ability to react to and obstruct progressive movement with which she disagreed is also reviewed. The research capacities and contributions of Nightingale as an avenue through which she advocated and documented the changes and reforms proposed and executed are also discussed.

摘要:

In recognition of accountability to both the community and the student consumer for the process and the product of their educational program, faculty and students of Harris College of Nursing, Texas Christian University, Fort Worth, undertook a three-year study of entering and graduating students. Students exposed to a new integrated curriculum, it was found, tended to possess a higher degree of leadership and empathic ability without sacrifice of knowledge but less critical thinking ability than students graduating from the older “block” curriculum. It is suggested that this might have resulted from too much consistency of approach in the integrated program. Intellective characteristics (IQ, scholastic aptitude test scores, critical thinking ability) plus leadership potential and empathic skill were significant in discriminating between successful and nonsuccessful students.

摘要:

This study sought to determine if there is a relationship among locus of control, social desirability, and choice of psychoprophylaxis (PPM). It was hypothesized that internal locus of control and low social desirability would correlate significantly with the choice of PPM by husbands and wives; that externally controlled wives who participated in PPM would have more internally controlled husbands than externally controlled wives who did not participate; and that locus of control and social desirability, when taken together, would be better predictors of choice of PPM than either taken separately. Ninety-eight middle-class nulliparous couples, participant and non-participant, were studied in the seventh or eighth month of the wife's pregnancy. Rotter's I–E Scale and the Marlowe–Crowne Social Desirability Scale were used to measure locus of control and social desirability. Study findings did not support the hypotheses.

摘要:

The problem of predicting success in graduate education in nursing was addressed through a five-year study of students enrolled in four majors at the University of Iowa. Data from a sample of 198 graduates of the majors–medical–surgical nursing, nursing of children, psychiatric nursing, and nursing service administration–were analyzed to determine the efficiency of the traditional predictors, undergraduate grade point average (GPA) and Graduate Record Examination scores–verbal and quantitative–in predicting success in graduate education as measured by the masters GPA. Findings included support for the use of these predictor variables in the selection of graduate students in nursing and evidence that interprogram differences existed, indicating a need for different selection practices for the different majors.

摘要:

The analytic scheme of “limiting intrusion” was generated in this study, using research strategies that involved direct contact with subjects under natural living conditions. Data were collected in an experimental treatment community for diagnosed schizophrenics, where conventional psychiatric control structures are muted and denied. Approximately 200 hours of field observation, in-depth interviews with staff members, and documents related to the setting formed the data base. Qualitative comparative analysis is presented in detail to emphasize its relevance to theory building in nursing science.

摘要:

Dreams were used to ascertain the psychologic impact on nursing students of participation in abortion and of other educational experiences. Stressfulness of the experiences was measured by number of dreams, recurrence of dreams, and content analysis of the dreams during four data-gathering periods. During stressful periods, dreams tended to be more negative. The abortion experience was found to be more stressful than other experiences encountered during the data-gathering periods.
