摘要:

To ascertain if faculty preferences affect students' preferences for nursing practice, this study investigated: 1) the convergence of students' preferences with those of their clinical faculty and 2) students' perceptions of faculty characteristics associated with their practice preferences at the completion of a clincal course. Fourteen faculty and 170 junior baccalaureote nursing students were measured at three points in time to determine student preferences for indirect-direct involvement in patient care. Findings did not support the convergence of students' preferences with those of faculty as they progressed through the course. At the completion of the course multiple regressions revealed that students' preferences were associated with preferences they attributed to faculty, their perceptions of faculty reputation among students, students' clinical grades, and their preferences for nursing practice before and after six weeks of the course.

摘要:

To assess factors that affected utilization of breast self-examination in 160 women enrolled in masters degree programs–in nursing and in programs outside of health disciplines–a questionnaire sought information about 1) the relationship between practice of six basic preventive health measures and practice of breast self-examination, and 2) changes which occurred in women's practices of breast self-examination subsequent to the October 1974 mass media coverage of Mrs. Betty Ford's mastectomy. Descriptive data about other factors that influenced women's practice of breast self-examination were obtained. Findings indicated a relationship between positive practice of breast self-examination and positive practices of other preventive health measures in women of health and nonhealth orientation up to 35 years of age and under, but not in those over 35 years of age. Significantly increased breast self-examination practices in women of all ages were reported following Mrs. Ford's mastectomy. Implications favorable to the early detection of breast disease are suggested.

摘要:

Fifty-one nursing administrators attending an institute on administration were asked to respond to two questions: “What is good about conflict?” “What is bad about conflict?” Findings indicated that nursing administrators: made more positive than negative statements about conflict, associated conflict's effects to be greater on people than on task accomplishment, indicated that conflict had greater intrapersonal than interpersonal effects, believed that the beneficial effects of conflict on task accomplishment lie in the realm of problem resolution, and reported that the major negative effects of conflict on task accomplishment were felt on productivity. These findings underscore the complex nature of conflict and its benefit and costs to the individual, organization, and nursing administrator. Views of these nursing administrators are in concert with contemporary behavioral science literature which suggests that conflict is necessary for organizational growth and is not automatically symptomatic of organizational pathology.

摘要:

A classification scheme and an instrument to determine work load, in use since June 1975 in the daily adjustment of supply and demand in the 24 pediatric units of the Sainte-Justine Hospital, Montreal, Quebec, is described. Construction and implementation of the instrument are delineated. The instrument was successful in determining the number of nurses necessary to meet the work load on various units. On the basis of these data, the short- and long-term management of supply and demand of nursing care was examined and the classification system was generalized to all types of patients except psychiatric.
