Attitudes toward research among undergraduate nursing students

Attitudinal changes about research among undergraduate nursing students during their two years in a baccalaureate nursing program showed no significant improvements except for significant improvements in confidence about understanding research terminology methods and evaluating the adequacy of research studies. These improvements were apparent after the course and in the second year when the students were queried again. The overall research attitude score was essentially the same in the senior year as it had been on the pre-test when the students began the program. Although 52.9% of the students indicated they wanted to go on for a master's degree, 6.2% said they definitely wanted to take additional research courses. In the senior year, 31.9% of the students indicated they definitely wanted to go on to graduate school, while 60.4% said they were uncertain; 7.7% indicated they definitely did not want to return to graduate school.     

Attitudes shown by nursing college students,staff, and faculty towards substance abuse

Very little research has addressed nurses' attitudes towards substance abuse. Nurses are socially acclimatized with the same values, biases, and denial of the impact of substance abuse as is the general population, and nursing education programmes allow very little time to the study of substance abuse. Thus, it is likely that nurses and nursing students lack accurate information about substance abuse, and may subscribe to common stereotypes. This paper presents data from 277 students, staff, and faculty at a large midwestern baccalaureate nursing programme. The results have significant implications for nursing education, as they indicate a serious lack of attention, in the curriculum, to the study of substance abuse.     

Attitudes of college students toward sexual behavior of disabled persons.

Empirical data on attitudes toward sexual behavior of disabled persons were gathered from a written, sentence-completion task in which 110 college students engaged. The task consisted of 36 sentence stubs, 18 of which probed attitudes toward sex. To facilitate expression of attitudes rather than values, respondents were instructed to respond rapidly with the first thoughts that came to mind. Responses were scored as positive or negative. Negative responders took significantly less time to complete the sentences than did positive responders. The X2 comparisons of negative responses to 5 pairs of parallel sentence stubs concerned with aspects of sex in general and the same aspects of sex in disabled women yielded statistically significant differences. Four of those differences showed more disapproval of sex for the disabled than for the able-bodied. The 5th difference indicated greater tolerance of homosexual play among disabled girls. On 9 of the 13 sentence stubs concerned with sex and disability, at least 43% of all participants gave negative responses. Similarly, order analysis disclosed that 9 of 10 aspects of sex viewed most negatively were related to sexual behavior by the disabled. It was concluded that attitudes in the sexual revolution have not as yet embraced the disabled even among college students.     

Attitudes toward death: a survey of nursing students.

The literature devoted to the topics of death and care of the dying is expanding rapidly. As nurses are inevitably involved in terminal illness, death and grief, their attitudes toward death and factors which affect these attitudes, are worthy of study. This report describes the results of a continuing two-year survey of one class of students in a baccalaureate nursing program. A questionnaire was used at the beginning and end of one academic year. Data were obtained regarding background experiences with death, involvement in the care of dying patients, and common ideas, concerns and feelings about death. Data from the second testing also included perceived changes in "positive" and "negative" attitudes toward death, and the relative effect on attitudes of various factors during the year. Suggestions are offered for curriculum development and research in the challenging area of death education in nursing.     

护理本科生对老年护理工作态度的调查分析

未来的30年,人口老龄化将成为不争的事实.老年人群存在更多的健康需求,从事老年护理工作的护理人员需求量将大大增加.而且老年人社区护理在我国已开展,其内容要求多,形式也多[1].     

在校本科护生对护理科研认知情况调查研究

护理学的发展要求护理人员不断提高自我素质,创造性地开展工作。由于绝大多数护士未接受系统的科研培训,科研能力及水平与医生有一定差距,致使护理学科较医学学科发展滞后。护理科研在发达国家受到一定的重视。1948年,美国公共卫生部开始有了护理科研规划,1955年创立了护理科研专项基金和研究员拨款方案,如Avalon,Russell sage等基金,

护理学的发展要求护理人员不断提高自我素质,创造性地开展工作.由于绝大多数护士未接受系统的科研培训,科研能力及水平与医生有一定差距,致使护理学科较医学学科发展滞后.护理科研在发达国家受到一定的重视.1948年,美国公共卫生部开始有了护理科研规划,1955年创立了护理科研专项基金和研究员拨款方案,如Avalon,Russell sage等基金,支持护理科研,使护理科研得以广泛开展.1965年,美国护士学会开始召开全国性的科研年会,并成立了美国护士协会护理科研委员会.英国皇家护理学会也积极呼吁英国护士学会组织必须行动起来,1982年英国杂志发表护士须有头脑一文指出护士有了科研头脑,才能直接促进护理质量的提高.我国护理学的形成和发展,在一定程度上受到西方的影响.解放前,护理科研几乎是一片空白,1949年新中国诞生后,护理事业得到党中央的重视而进入迅速发展阶段,1953年创刊的<护士杂志>作为护理科研事业开始的标志.改革开放以来,我国护理工作得到蓬勃的发展,但是,离西方国家还有一定的差距,所以了解及培养在校护理本科生的科研意识成为我国护理学发展的重要内容.护理科研在护理学科发展中起着重要作用,护理科研学术水平的高低,取决于护理研究课题质量的高低,而后者又取决于护理人员科研意识及素养.特别是要从护理教育的源头抓起,提高护生对护理科研重要性的认识,加强护理科研知识和技能教育,是提高护理人员整体科研素质的关键.为了解在校护生对护理科研的认知,从而更好地进行护理科研课程的讲授,进一步提高教学质量,对山西医科大学2005级、2006级本科护生430人进行护理科研的认知情况调查研究,现将结果报道如下.     

Attitudes toward older people among nursing students and registered nurses in Sweden

Geriatric nursing is generally not considered to be a popular branch of nursing among Swedish nursing students and registered nurses. It is, therefore, important for nurse educators and others with responsibilities for the development of nursing to pay attention to trends of importance for the care of the elderly. Attitudes - conceptualized as feelings, knowledge, and readiness to act - may be one important factor. It has been reported that feelings toward older people may change with experience, age and gender. The aim of this study was to measure feelings toward older people among nursing students and registered nurses. A convenience sample of 151 undergraduate nursing students and 41 registered nurses in Sweden participated in the study. Data were collected through Kogan's Old People scale. The results confirmed earlier findings and showed that limited previous experience of care of older people, age <25 years, and male gender were significant factors for showing less favourable feelings towards the aged. In the education of nurses, goal-directed experience of elderly care is recommended in order to create positive feelings towards and interest in older people among students. It is also suggested that special considerations should be given to very young students and male students.
