The Frequency Of Nurse Reported Stress And Its Relationship To The Physical Attributes Of Various Nursing Units, Richard Michael Jones
The Frequency Of Nurse Reported Stress And Its Relationship To The Physical Attributes Of Various Nursing Units, Richard Michael Jones
Electronic Theses and Dissertations
The nursing profession has a high attrition rate with respect to its work force. A 1977 study conducted by the United States Department of Labor estimated that twenty-seven percent of the total nurse population was neither employed nor looking for work. Holding this percentage constant for the 1980 statistics, there are approximately 400,000 additional registered nurses who are not working today. White asserts that "burnout" is the primary factor responsible for the attrition rate among professional nurses. Burnout is defined by Lavendero as the ineffective ability to cope with stress in the work environment. He argues that conclusive evidence concerning …

Economic Effects Of Rural Water Systems On Agricultural Production And Productivity In Selected Counties In South Dakota, Robert Edward Green Jr.
Electronic Theses and Dissertations

The Adjustment Of Foreign Students At Sdsu, Mansour Haghighatian
Electronic Theses and Dissertations
A visible and significant subset of the student body of many U.S. institutions of higher education is its foreign student population. These students come from a wide variety of cultures and as Skinner & Hendricks have put it, "Despite the variety of views of foreign students Americans may have, Americans have a common feeling that the foreign student is somehow different, a 'they' and not a 'we' ". The foreign student is different because he/she is from culture that has different values, traditions and different codes of behavior and guides for conduct. Meleis asserts that ''whereas American business-people need know …
Demographic Correlations With Exercise Of Self-Care Agency In Women, Susan Marie Hubka Todd
Demographic Correlations With Exercise Of Self-Care Agency In Women, Susan Marie Hubka Todd
Electronic Theses and Dissertations
The particular health needs of women have not been addressed by health care professionals. There are three reasons for this: first, only the reproductive functions of women are thought to be particularly female health problems, thus producing a severely limited scope of study on women; secondly, all other health problems are measured in terms of normal adult functioning, those norms having been set by research on adult male normalcy or pathology; and lastly, what studies have been individualized to women have been done on women only in illness situations. Dunbar et al illustrated in their comprehensive, nursing literature search the …

Doodles On The Walls Of The Cave : An Interpretation Of Four Popular Novels, Carole Krysan
Electronic Theses and Dissertations
There are many possible influences which shape the culture or the way of life of a society. One of the strongest of these influences has been the movies. Movies and moviegoing have been a part of American culture for more than eighty-five years, but the movies as a way of life in America perhaps reached its peak in the period from 1945-1955. This was the post World War II era when there were as many as 90,000,000 paid admissions per week from a population of 150,000,000.
