Survivorship Of A Low-Grade Glioma Brain Tumor, Cynthia A. Bautista

Open Access Dissertations

Due to dramatic improvements in diagnosis, treatment options, and improved survival rates, the experience of cancer is changing.

Research in the area of brain tumor survivorship is limited and provides minimal understanding of the survivor's experience. The purpose of this study was to describe the survivorship experience of adults who were one to four years posttreatment for a low-grade glioma brain tumor and to explore how family, friends, employers, and health care providers had been helpful in the transition back to life after treatment.

The Experience Of Mild Traumatic Brain Injury For Selected Cases, Joanne Baggerly

The purpose of this study was to develop a descriptive base and highlight the perspective of the client. This is important to nurses in that appropriate intervention must be grounded in an understanding of the problem as perceived and acted upon by the client. This study describes the experience of three women over 50 years of age who had a mild traumatic brain injury. The analytical process followed the case study …

Nursing Practice In A Magnet Hospital: A Descriptive Study, Kathleen M. Stolzenberger

Studies of organizations designated by the American Nurses Credentialing Center (ANCC) as magnet hospitals demonstrate significant and positive relationships among organizational, nurse, and patient variables. However, knowledge about the nursing work environment as an influence on practice is limited by the absence of studies exploring the actual practice of staff nurses and the nursing unit as the more immediate context in which it …
