Physical Function And Health-Related Quality Of Life Of Older Adults Undergoing Hospital Rehabilitation: How Strong Is The Association?, Steven Mcphail, Elaine Beller, Terry Haines
Physical Function And Health-Related Quality Of Life Of Older Adults Undergoing Hospital Rehabilitation: How Strong Is The Association?, Steven Mcphail, Elaine Beller, Terry Haines
Elaine Beller
Extract:To the Editor: When an elderly patient has a first-time presentation of psychiatric symptoms, a physical cause should be suspected. In geriatric practice, these symptoms are often due to delirium, cognitive decline, or a mood disorder. The present case history illustrates the importance of further investigation when geriatric assessment alone cannot explain the symptoms sufficiently.

Growth is an important indicator of child health; however, measurements are frequently inaccurate and unreliable. This article reviews the literature on linear growth measurement error and describes methods used to develop and evaluate an evidence-based clinical practice guideline on the measurement of recumbent length and stature of infants, children, and adolescents. Systematic methods were used to identify evidence to answer clinical questions about growth measurement. A multidisciplinary team critically appraised and synthesized the evidence to develop clinical practice recommendations using an evidence-based practice rating scheme. The guideline was prospectively evaluated through internal and external reviews and a pilot study to …

Jan M. Foote
OBJECTIVE: To describe a case of pyloric channel stricture secondary to high-dose ibuprofen therapy in a pediatric patient with cystic fibrosis. CASE SUMMARY: A 12-year-old white girl started taking high-dose ibuprofen to treat the pulmonary manifestations of cystic fibrosis. The peak plasma concentration at dose initiation was within the accepted therapeutic range. Approximately one month later, the patient developed emesis and intolerance of solid foods, which persisted for several months and resulted in a weight loss of seven kilograms. The patient was referred to a pediatric gastroenterologist, who performed an upper endoscopy and subsequently diagnosed a pyloric channel stricture. The …

Development And Description Of The Incivility In Nursing Education (Ine) Survey, Cynthia Clark, Judy Farnsworth, R. Landrum
R. Eric Landrum
Incivility in nursing education is a challenging problem and difficult to measure. This paper describes both the development and description of the Incivility in Nursing Education (INE) survey. The INE includes eight demographic items, six quantitative items, and four open-ended questions. It measures nursing students' and faculty’s perceptions of and experience with academic incivility. The INE was initially tested in a 2004 pilot study using a convenience sample of 356 nursing students and faculty and re-tested in a 2006 study with another convenience sample of 504 nursing faculty and students. Revisions were made to the INE based on findings from …

Demonstrating Tutoring Effectiveness Within A One-Semester Course, R. Landrum, Garvin Chastain
R. Eric Landrum
The results of college-level tutoring programs are best described as mixed. Although some studies have detected beneficial effects (Lidren, Meier, & Brigham, 1991; Longuevan & Shoemaker, 1991), others reveal no positive tutoring effect (Griffin & Griffin, 1995). In 1986, McKeachie concluded that there are few clear demonstrations of the benefits of undergraduate peer tutors. The present study attempted to contribute additional evidence to understanding the effect of peer tutors in the undergraduate classroom.

Evaluating The Undergraduate Research Assistantship Experience, R. Landrum
R. Eric Landrum
If you are a frequent reader of Eye on Psi Chi, you already know the importance of the undergraduate research experience for students planning to attend graduate school. The importance of this experience has been chronicled not only in the literature (Keith- Spiegel, 1991; Keith-Spiegel & Wiederman, 2000; Landrum & Clark, 2005; Landrum, Jeglum, & Cashin, 1994), but also in the pages of Eye on Psi Chi (Kaiser, Kaiser, Richardson, & Fox, 2007; Slattery & Park, 2002; Sleigh & Ritzer, 2007). The tasks of the undergraduate research assistant have also been defined in numerous articles. Some of these articles include …

Writing Letters Of Recommendation, R. Landrum
R. Eric Landrum
Writing letters of recommendation (LoR) may qaulify as one of the most time-consuming and critical tasks performed by faculty, yet faculty rarely receive training or guidance as to how to craft a successful LoR (Range et al., 1991). The scholarship concerning LoR deals mostly with how letters are perceived and evaluated, and indirectly addresses writing LoR.

The Curriculum Vita: A Student's Guide To Preparation, R. Landrum
R. Eric Landrum
Undergraduate psychology majors with aspirations toward graduate school have a number of preparations to make. It is well known by now that the top factors that influence graduate school admissions are grade point average (GPA), Graduate Record Examination (GRE) scores, letters of recommendation (Keith-Spiegel & Wiederman, 2000), research experience, and autobiographical statements (Landrum, Jeglum, & Cashin, 1994). Previous issues of Eye on Psi Chi (accessible at www.psichi.org) contain valuable guides on many aspects of the graduate school application process (Buskist, 2001; Dirlam, 1998; Lammers, 2000; Terre, 2002), including specific articles on the GRE (Matlin & Kalat, 2001; Norcross, 1997a; Walfish, …

I'M Getting My Bachelor's Degree In Psychology--What Can I Do With It?, R. Landrum
R. Eric Landrum
The answer is - plenty! While some undergraduates continue their education in graduate school, the majority of students do not go to graduate school (only about 25% of undergraduate psychology majors nationally go to graduate school). This article is about the options, opportunities, and challenges for the rest--the remaining 75% who seek a good job with their bachelor's degree in hand.
Individual And Family Characteristics Of Juvenile Sexual Offenders, Heather Plager, R. Landrum
Individual And Family Characteristics Of Juvenile Sexual Offenders, Heather Plager, R. Landrum
R. Eric Landrum
Descriptive data on 100 juveniles seen for assessment and treatment at a nonprofit, community-based, outpatient treatment program for sexual abuse are presented. Prior physical and sexual abuse characteristics of the juvenile sexual offender (JSO) are discussed as well as the incidence of victimization and perpetration within the offender’s family. Statistically significant associations emerged for the following characteristics: (a) prior physical and sexual victimization of the offender and having another family member identified as a perpetrator of sexual abuse; (b) prior sexual victimization of the offender and prior sexual victimization of another family member; and (c) a history of sexual abuse …

Building A Psychology Orientation Course: Common Themes And Exercises, Brian Loher, R. Landrum
Building A Psychology Orientation Course: Common Themes And Exercises, Brian Loher, R. Landrum
R. Eric Landrum
Psychology is one of the most popular majors in higher education. According to the National Center for Education Statistics, in the latest year data are available (2005-2006), 88,134 students earned psychology bacalaureate degrees in the United States (Synder, Dillow, & Hoffman, 2008). Given that "degrees awarded" represents only those who successfully complete a program, the overall number of psychology undergraduate majors is undoubtedly much higher.

Documenting The Beneficial Effects Of Student Engagement: Assessing Student Learning Outcomes, R. Landrum
Documenting The Beneficial Effects Of Student Engagement: Assessing Student Learning Outcomes, R. Landrum
R. Eric Landrum
Assessment is a broad topic in higher education, and often used for program review, outcomes assessment, or institutional accreditation. To narrow the focus to student learning, Walvoord (2004) defined assessment as “the systematic collection of information about student learning, using the time, knowledge, expertise, and resources available, in order to inform decisions about how to improve learning” (p. 2; italics in original). Readers should consider assessment as a specialized area of research which seeks to measure of student learning. Assessment is more akin to action research, where the purpose of the research is to inform and improve self-practice. The typical …

Family Dynamics And Attitudes Toward Marriage, Diana Muench, R. Landrum
Family Dynamics And Attitudes Toward Marriage, Diana Muench, R. Landrum
R. Eric Landrum
To examine our hypothesis that family experiences would be associated with attitudes toward marriage, we administered the Family Environment Scale (FES; Moos & Moos, 1986) and a Marriage Attitudes Questionnaire (MAQ; adapted from Long, 1987) to 40 unmarried college students. Correlational analyses indicated that for the conflict subscale of the FES, only two of the six marital expectation questions approached significance. However, family expressiveness (another subscale of the FES) was significantly correlated with three of the marital expectation questions and approached significance with a fourth question. These results indicated that higher expressiveness in the family was significantly related to positive …

Student Perceptions Of The Effects Of Test Delays, R. Landrum
Student Perceptions Of The Effects Of Test Delays, R. Landrum
R. Eric Landrum
Assesses how students feel about test delays and their perceptions of the effect on class performance. Two instances of test delays were examined that varied in class level and how the situation was resolved. Ss were 534 college students. Results of survey questions indicate that the lower level class (Introduction to Psychology) felt the delay hurt their performance, while the upper level class (Personnel and Industrial Psychology) felt the delay helped their performance. Alternative explanations to these conclusions are also discussed.
The Relationship Between Student Performance And Instructor Evaluations Revisited, R. Landrum, Ronna Dillinger
The Relationship Between Student Performance And Instructor Evaluations Revisited, R. Landrum, Ronna Dillinger
R. Eric Landrum
Students in introductory psychology completed an end-of-semester evaluation containing specific and global questions concerning instructor performance and course evaluation. Students' actual and expected course grades were matched with evaluation outcomes. Global items referring to overall course and instructor were significantly correlated. Whereas the instructor evaluation is weakly (but significantly) correlated with actual grade (but not with expected grade), the course evaluation is not significantly correlated with actual grade (but is weakly yet significantly correlated with expected grade). The results are discussed in the context of the differential predictors for course and instructor evaluation.
