A Suffering Odyssey: A Phenomenological-Interpretive Analysis, William M. Scott

College of Graduate Studies: Theses & Dissertations (1964–2006)

The purpose of this study is to explicate how suffering is experienced and interpreted by sufferers. Nursing and medical literature, until quite recently, has been visibly bereft on the topic of human suffering.

In the past, it has been related to mental anguish, injury, loss, stress, and pain.

The Effect Of Dosage Regimen On Medication Compliance, Ernest William Keich

College of Graduate Studies: Theses & Dissertations (1964–2006)

According to recent data, between 25% and 50% of patients are noncompliant in their therapy regimen in some manner. The fourth report of the Joint National Committee on the Detection, Evaluation, and Treatment of High Blood Pressure (Neal, 1989) states that noncompliance is the major problem in hypertension control.

It was hypothesized there would be a difference in the compliance of hypertensive patients whose medication regimen consisted of single daily dosing as opposed to those patients whose regimen consisted of two or more times a day dosing.

Potential subjects for the study were hypertensive patients selected from a rural, southeastern …

Savannah Biographies

Slavery was a bane to the progress of humanity but it was vital to the economic prosperity of the sugar plantations of the West Indies in the eighteenth century.
