The critical incident technique was used to gather the data for the study. The respondents were nursing supervisory personnel employed in …

An Investigation Of The Feasibility Of Establishing A School Of Nursing In Connection With Bella Vista Hospital, M. Eulalia White Jun 1959

An Investigation Of The Feasibility Of Establishing A School Of Nursing In Connection With Bella Vista Hospital, M. Eulalia White

Loma Linda University Electronic Theses, Dissertations & Projects

The Bella Vista Hospital has had problems of staffing since it opened. Nurse shortages have been typical of all insular hospitals. There have been no national Seventh-day Adventist nurses available and no school where they could receive nursing education. The question has been raised whether it would be feasible to establish a school of nursing in connection with the hospital. This would give opportunity for Seventh-day Adventist young people who seek nursing education and would help prepare nurses to staff the hospital.

Through a survey of the Seventh-day Adventist church and youth membership in the Inter-American Division, it was found …

The Effects Of Manifest Anxiety On Stuttering Adaptation, Joseph Agnello Jul 1958

The Effects Of Manifest Anxiety On Stuttering Adaptation, Joseph Agnello

Masters Theses

I. Introduction

When stuttering behavior is viewed as a problem in learning, the phenomenon of adaptation frequently receives attention. A standard adaptation experiment consists of having the person who stutters re-read the same passage, or a passage of equal difficulty, a specified number of times. Under these conditions a relative reduction1 in stuttering frequency usually occurs. Experimentalists and clinicians alike have long been puzzled as to why this decrement takes place, since stuttering is generally considered by many writers2,3 as a self-reinforcing disorder; that is, stuttering produces more stuttering.

The present experiment was designed to investigate the effects, …

A Pilot Study Of The Nature Of Learning Experiences In The Operating Room, Lucile Lewis

Loma Linda University Electronic Theses, Dissertations & Projects

It was the purpose of this study to consider four phases of the nature of the learning experiences of students of nursing in the operating room. The phases of the problem studied were: (1) Are the learning experiences "new" or "an expansion and/or clarification of previous learnings?" (2) Do new learning experiences continue throughout the clinical assignment to the operating room? (3) Are the learning experiences concentrated in some areas of learning more than in others? (4) Is there a relationship between the area of learning and the type of duty performed by the student in the operating room?

Subliminal Stimulus Recall In Persons Who Are And Are Not Aware Of The Stimulus, Delayne Hudspeth Jun 1958

Subliminal Stimulus Recall In Persons Who Are And Are Not Aware Of The Stimulus, Delayne Hudspeth

Electronic Theses & Dissertations

In this study an effort was made to determine, in part, if the fears of persons who have been decrying the use of subliminal stimulation in advertising were realistic. Accepting the work of other scholars that this phase of perception does exist, this writer attempted to explore one facet of the problem with this hypothesis: persons who receive subliminal stimuli will be more apt to consciously recall the stimuli if they are aware that the stimuli are being given.

Research on this phase of subliminal perception was done with visual stimuli on students in beginning psychology courses. Given a pre-test …
