Death, Dying, And End-Of-Life Care: Nurse Educators' Prescription For Nursing Education, Carmencita C. Mercado-Poe

Theses and Dissertations

Education on death, dying, bereavement, and end-of-life care is a vital component of the basic preparation of the registered nurse. Yet, practicing nurses continue to report that programs offered in nursing schools do not prepare them adequately to provide comprehensive care to the dying. An explanation given in the literature is that some nurse educators do not value the inclusion of death education in the nursing curriculum. These educators argue that the current curricula are already too full and that skills related to the care of the dying are not as important as life-sustaining skills. They believe that skills related …

The Relationship Among School Climates, Pupil Control Ideologies, And Relative Frequency Of Student Suspensions In Pulaski County Elementary (K-6) Schools, Julia Brown-Rauton

Theses and Dissertations

Student discipline in the public schools has been a major public concern. Public elementary schools in school districts in and around Little Rock, Arkansas are faced with rising numbers of discipline referrals resulting in out-of-school suspensions. This study examined three questions: (1) Is there a significant relationship between elementary school climates (open, closed, mixed) and the relative frequency of suspensions? (2) Is there a significant relationship between elementary school teachers' and principals' pupil control orientation, humanistic or custodial, and the frequency of suspensions assigned? (3) Is there a relationship between school climate and pupil control ideology? Certified teachers, principals, and …

Nurse-Physician Collaboration And Nurse Satisfaction, Michelle R. Troseth

Masters Theses

The purpose of this study was two-fold: (a) to describe nurses' perception of collaborative practice behaviors with physicians in a 529 bed mid-western acute care hospital setting and to relate those findings to nurses' satisfaction, and (b) to describe the perceptions of collaborative practice behaviors reported by physicians.

The study was a cross-sectional descriptive correlational design. The convenience sample included 264 nurses, 72 staff physicians and 22 medical residents in a sample setting of medical-surgical, critical care, pediatrics, women's health services, emergency, and surgical services departments. The study used the Collaborative Practice Scales (CPS) to measure nurse and physician perceptions …

Voicing Differences (Comment), Margaret E. Montoya

Faculty Scholarship

Jane Aiken and Kimberly O'Leary undertake the difficult work of developing specific approaches and techniques for taking account of characteristics such as race/ethnicity, gender, dis/ability, and sexual identity in clinical pedagogy. Carolyn Grose uses outsider narratives and popular culture to challenge the "pre-understanding" of students, and to assist them to accept client stories as true and valid. Focusing on the professional value of striving to promote justice, fairness, and morality identified in the MacCrate Report, Professor Aiken exhorts us to promote justice by unmasking privilege, the invisible package of unearned assets--about which I (we? or you?) was "meant" to remain …

Development Of A Scale To Assess Concern About Falling And Applications To Treatment Programs, Michelle M. Lusardi, Everett V. Smith Jr.

All PTHMS Faculty Publications

This study used Rasch methodology to pursue three goals. First, we sought to demonstrate the psychometric limitations of the Falls Efficacy Scale (Tinetti, Richman, & Powell, 1990). Second, we addressed these limitations using a simultaneous calibration of the Falls Efficacy Scale and Mobility Efficacy Scale items. Third, we review previous explorations of the self-efficacy construct in relationship to health behaviors and discuss a possible treatment program based on the simultaneous calibrated items and Social Cognitive Theory. Results indicate that responses from the Falls Efficacy Scale fail to assess the higher ends of the self-efficacy continuum. Simultaneous calibration of items improved …

Unveiling Protectionism: Anti-Dumping, The Gatt And Suggestion For Reform, Patrick Gay

Dalhousie Journal of Legal Studies

While anti-dumping actions taken under the auspices of the GATT are becoming increasingly prevalent, many commentators have questioned their economic justification and called for the replacement of current anti-dumping provisions with a system based upon competition law principles. This paper reviews the economic analyses, in light of political considerations, and suggests that calls for reaching reforms are premature and ignore the important safety valve function of anti-dumping measures. The paper concludes that a public economic interest provision should be added to the GATT Anti- Dumping Code, and that anti-dumping regulation should be subsumed within expanded safeguard provisions of the GATT …

Rights Without Meaning - Failing To Give Effect To The Purpose Of Section 15(1) Of The Charter, Laura Fraser

Dalhousie Journal of Legal Studies

The recent Supreme Court of Canada decision in Egan v. Canada has resulted in significant controversy and unanswered questions surrounding the status of homosexual couples. Egan has also raised doubts as to the status of the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms section 15(1) analysis first announced in Andrews v. Law Society of British Columbia and later expanded in R. v. Turpin. Egan was released concurrently with Miron v. Trudel and Thibaudeau v. Canada. All three cases in the trilogy dealt with alleged breaches of section 15(1). Because of the peculiar combination of Supreme Court Justices who supported the new …

Making Constitutional Doctrine In A Realist Age, Victoria Nourse

Georgetown Law Faculty Publications and Other Works

In this article the author considers three examples of modern constitutional doctrine that show how judges have stolen bits and pieces from popularized skepticisms about the job of judging and have molded this stolen rhetoric into doctrine. In the first example, she asks whether constitutional law's recent penchant for doctrinal rules based on "clear law" could have existed without the modern age's obsession with legal uncertainty. In the second, the author considers whether our contemporary rhetoric of constitutional "interests" and "expectations" reflects modern critiques of doctrine as failing to address social needs. In the third, she asks how an offhand …

Fame, The Founding, And The Power To Declare War, William Michael Treanor

Georgetown Law Faculty Publications and Other Works

Almost without discussion, and essentially without opposition, the Framers and Ratifiers of the United States Constitution vested in Congress the "Power ... To declare War, [and] grant Letters of Marque and Reprisal." During the past fifty years, one of the fiercest controversies in constitutional law has concerned what the Founders meant by this grant. It is a debate that has had, and that continues to have, dramatic importance. When Presidents committed troops or prepared to commit troops in Korea, Vietnam, Grenada, Panama, Iraq, Somalia, Haiti, and, most recently, Bosnia, they claimed that the Constitution did not require them to seek …

Free Speech At Work: Verbal Harassment As Discriminatory (Mis)Treatment, Deborah Epstein

Georgetown Law Faculty Publications and Other Works

In his reply to my article on workplace harassment law and freedom of speech, Professor Volokh does not respond to my most important critiques of his earlier work. For example, he fails to grapple with the true complexity of the problem by focusing exclusively on one side of this conflict of rights-the burden that the law imposes on workplace expression. Equal attention must be paid to the other side: the harm inflicted by discriminatory speech on employees of a single gender. As I describe in detail in my original piece, these harms may include: an adverse effect on the quantity …

The Santa Clara Experiment: A New Fee-Generating Model For Clinical Legal Education, Patricia Pierce, Kathleen Ridolfi

Clinical Law Review

Santa Clara University's Law Clinic was established over twenty-five years ago. From January 1995 through May 1996, we experimented with a fee-generating model at the Clinic which consisted of an employment law project operating in conjunction with the criminal defense clinic already in place. Our results exceeded our expectations and offer an encouraging new model for a clinical program that can generate substantial fees without compromising the goals and values of clinical educators. In recent years a lively and often heated debate has arisen in clinical scholarship about the feasibility and utility of implementing fee-generating legal clinics. This debate has …
