摘要:

Reliability and validity of two clinical simulation tests were studied, using a multimethod approach. The instruments were originally tested in a project that compared ability of physicians, nurse practitioners, and public health nurses to provide primary care. Reliability was assessed by comparing test scores of the same subjects on two occasions. Validity was assessed by: 1) comparing test scores of two expert panels and of professional health groups (nurses and physicians) with preprofessional groups (nursing and medical students), 2) comparing test contents with authoritative literature on the disease, and 3) analyzing results of test evaluation by all subjects. Subjects of the original project were compared with those in this study. Both tests were found reliable and valid, corroborating the original project's findings that nurse practitioners and physicians are equally proficient in assessment and treatment of health problems. Findings also lend validity to the tests' developmental model and suggest the usefulness of such tests in nursing and medical education.

摘要:

Stressful life events (SLEs) and coping behavior were compared in 25 emergency room patients with nonserious acute illness and 25 newly diagnosed hypertensive patients. Stress was evaluated with a modified Rahe's SLE questionnaire and coping with a rating scale developed by the primary investigator. Results showed that: ER patients reported significantly more (p<.05) SLEs for the one year preceding illness onset, although more hypertensives subjectively rated their stress level as high; ER patients experienced significantly more SLEs in personal and social, home and family, and financial categories; hypertensives experienced significantly more health-related SLEs; age was seen as influencing SLEs; hypertensive patients used significantly more problem-oriented coping methods than did ER patients; hypertensives relied more on religion and physical activity in coping than did the ER group; ER patients more often day-dreamed or used their past experience as a guide for coping with stress; each group rated use of drugs as least important in coping; and educational level proved to be a salient variable affecting coping.

摘要:

An interview schedule to determine whether individuals could be diagnosed psychologically as being in a bored, confused, or adaptive state of mind was constructed and tested. Boredom and confusion were viewed as two distinct maladaptive states of mind. Objectivity, reliability, and validity were demonstrated for the interview schedule. The schedule was effective in diagnosing maladaptive and adaptive states of mind in outpatients who sought help at a family practice clinic and in detecting changes from maladaptive states to an adaptive state of mind after four weeks of psychological treatment.

摘要:

The Committee on Clinical Nursing Research was established in April 1979 at the Hospital of the University of Pennsylvania, Philadelphia, not only to encourage clinical nursing research for the provision of optimal care and the development and evaluation of nursing practice, but also to monitor consumer safety vis-à-vis the research effort. The development of the committee and relevant issues are discussed.

摘要:

Access to nursing service settings and protection of human subjects for research purposes are facilitated by the institutional review board if nursing is represented on the board and nurses' research protocols are reviewed for scientific merit and human subject implications. A nurse researcher recounts experiences in achieving these goals within a service setting.
