摘要:

A study of the process of maternal role attainment in three age groups (15 to 19 years, 20 to 29 years, and 30 to 42 years) over the first year of motherhood found that the role attainment behaviors of feelings of love for the baby, gratification in the maternal role, observed maternal behavior, and self-reported ways of handling irritating child behaviors did not show a positive linear increase over the year. Behaviors peaked at 4 months postbirth, but declined at 8 months. Interview data suggested that the challenges of the infant's developmental behaviors at 8 and 12 months contributed to feelings of role incompetency. Although age groups functioned at different levels, their patterns of behaviors over the year did not vary, except for gratification in the role, indicating that the maternal role presented similar challenges for all women. There were no significant differences by maternal age in role strain or self-image as a mother over the year.

摘要:

The pattern of newborn handling by 36 newly delivered women during their infants' first postpartum bedside visit was compared with the pattern of newborn handling by 36 female nursing students at the beginning of their first clinical day in a hospital normal newborn nursery. The research hypothesis predicted that the initial pattern of handling a newborn infant would be similar for mothers and persons unrelated to the newborn. However, mothers and students differed significantly, both for the amount of handling during the observation period and the time it took each group to initiate using fingers, palms, arms, and trunk to handle the infant. In addition, the sequence of use of fingers, palms, arms, and trunk was different for mothers and students. Although the mothers did not follow the sequence of handling reported tn the literature, the students did, thus casting doubt on the specificity of a pattern of maternal handling of the newborn infant as a means of assessing maternal attachment.

摘要:

This article describes the development of a new instrument, the Blank Infant Tenderness Scale (BITS), designed to measure mothers' perceptions of infant tenderness needs. These infant needs include physiological requirements, such as nourishment and adequate body temperature, and contact requirements, such as physical closeness and manipulation. Guided by Sullivan's (1953) theorem of tenderness, a 36-ltem instrument was constructed. To assess reliability and validity of the BITS and to develop a beginning data base with new mothers, 65 healthy postpartum mothers participated in the study. The results demonstrated that the BITS has high internal consistency and construct validity, and sufficient split-half reliability. Parity was found to affect mothers' perceptions, with multiparous mothers differentiating more among infant tenderness needs than prlmiparous mothers. Although maternal age did not significantly influence mothers' perceptions, a graded effect was noted. The results further support the view that both physiological and contact needs are important in providing an infant with tenderness.

摘要:

This study investigated the relationship between tpmae support and compliance of myocardial infarction patients. Data were obtained from a sample of 60 couples during home interviews with the husband at least three months following his infarction. The hypothesis tested was that there is a positive relationship between spouse support and compliance. Husband's self-reported compliance was obtained for each of 10 aspects of the regimen. A spouse support questionnaire completed by wives estimated the degree to which they engaged In behaviors theorized to be supportive. Demographic and illness variables were also obtained. The hypothesis was not supported. Moreover, compliance was not related to demographic or illness variables, although those subjects still engaged in a cardiac rehabilitation program had significantly higher compliance than those who had stopped attending.

摘要:

A review of evidence relating to adaptiveness of behavioral self-blame is presented with results of a study of the reactions of senior baccalaureate nursing students (N=144) to vignettes of rape victims who differed in terms of behavioral self-blame (present or absent), affect (positive or negative), and lapsed time since attack (1 month, 6 months, 1 year). Students' assessments of victims' adjustment varied with findings in the literature on length of time needed for recovery and the usefulness of behavioral self-blame.

摘要:

The theoretical model of occupational stress developed by LaRocco, House, and French, (1980) was letted in relation to job stress in critical care nursing. A sample of 164 female critical care nurses was obtained from eight hospitals. The variables of perceived social support, perceived job stress, job dissatisfaction, and psychological symptoms were measured, and specific types and sources of support were examined. Findings from the full sample supported all the main effects in the model but none of the buffering effects. For the married group, a specific type of support (work support) explained 24% of the variance of perceived Job stress, nearly double that of the overall social support measure for this group. For the unmarried group, a specific source of support (from relatives) explained 10% of the variance in perceived job stress and 16% of the variance in psychological symptoms—double or triple the effect of the total network support score for the full sample.

摘要:

This study focused on the degree of burnout experienced by nurses in intensive core units and noninterutve care units. Nurses in both the surgical and medical ICUs, as well as nurses in the intermediate surgical and medical units and general surgical and medical units of a large, university hospital were the subjects. The data indicated that nurses in the ICUs did not differ in level of burnout from nurses in the other units. Across units, however, nurses who were characterized as more “hardy” experienced lower levels of burnout than nurses lower in this construct.

摘要:

This research examined the predictability of internal job transfer and turnover behavior from nurses' career plans, work values, and job satisfaction. Values and career plans rather than job satisfaction were found to discriminate between persons who remained in their jobs, accepted internal transfers, or turned over within a one-year research period. Results raise doubts about nurses' use of internal transfer as a substitute for turnover and support the importance of employees' expectations about future satisfaction as a major determinant of job movement.
