摘要:

AbstractIn this study, the general hypothesis tested was that differences in rate of employment activity between baccalaureate and diploma nurses are due to effects of extraneous and intervening variables and not to intrinsic differences in the educational process. Mailed questionnaires from 1,475 nurses registered in the State of Indiana provided data on two measures of employment activity, as well as four control variables: marital status, spouse's income, presence of young children at home, and disillusionment with career. Among recent graduates, there was a negative association between possession of the baccalaureate degree and current employment status (γ = ‐.359,p<.05). It was expected that holding constant the four control variables would reduce this association to or near zero. The opposite was generally the case, however; controlling for marriage, children, and disillusionment actually increased the association between type of education and employment status. Differences in employment activity between the two types of graduates therefore can not be accounted for by “traditional” variables used in the study of female labor‐force parti

摘要:

AbstractCareful needs assessment is a prerequisite to addressing issues of health care program effectiveness and program planning from a population‐based perspective. Home care program evaluation literature is lacking in examples of strategies for such assessment. A nurse‐screening of admissions was conducted at an acute care general hospital to estimate need for hospital‐based home care (HBHC) services among the 2,613 patients discharged from medical and surgical services over a 5‐‐month period. After careful delineation of inclusion and exclusion criteria for identifying HBHC patients and participant‐observer training, the nurse's judgments on patient appropriateness for HBHC care were shown to agree reliably with those of the HBHC staff (k= +.45). In the study hospital under current conditions, an estimated 64% of discharged patients appropriate for home care do not receive these services. A comparison of the incidence according to service of HBHC‐appropriate patients and patient‐referral rates to HBHC suggests that one service over‐refers (neurology), but most under‐refer. Screening nurse salary expenditures constitute the major costs of this approach to home care needs assessment, which is recommended only for addressing major, infrequent program

摘要:

AbstractSince maternal anxiety has been implicated as one variable in the etiology of maternal and fetal complications, this study was done to identify specific concerns and anxiety levels among pregnant women. One hundred pregnant women, 48 private and 52 clinic patients, completed the Taylor Manifest Anxiety Scale, a concerns questionnaire, and an information sheet. Twenty‐nine specific concerns were identified by 50% or more of the pregnant women. Major concerns identified were “if your baby will be healthy and normal” (94%) and “your baby's condition at birth” (93%). The number of expressed concerns showed a statistically significant correlation with anxiety level (rs= .5678;p= .001), with clinic patients having significantly higher anxiety levels than private

摘要:

AbstractThe dissertation is one of the most important vehicles for providing the novice researcher with the necessary socialization for a future of productive and scholarly research activities. Research productivity and the scholarliness of research are needed in developing nursing science. In this article, the processes that have the potential to enhance the quality of the doctoral dissertation are addressed; the psychological, social, and structural processes involved in completing a quality dissertation are delineated and discussed; and a model for the development of scholarliness and scholarship in doctoral programs is presented. The authors address three major areas for consideration: (a) the dependence of scholarship and scholarliness on researchable questions that are important, evolve in the context of theoretical considerations, and improve the scientific base of nursing knowledge; (b) the development of these qualities as enhanced by the resolution of several dilemmas that revolve around decisions made throughout the dissertation process; and (c) the recommendation that these qualities (scholarship and scholarliness) be fostered meticulously during doctoral education in nursing and, preferably, earlier.
