A Comparative Study Of The Planned Use Of Touch To Enhance The Self Esteem Of The Pregnant Adolescent, Una Marie Reeves
A Comparative Study Of The Planned Use Of Touch To Enhance The Self Esteem Of The Pregnant Adolescent, Una Marie Reeves
Loma Linda University Electronic Theses, Dissertations & Projects
Two groups of pregnant adolescents were compared in a study of the hypothesis that the use of planned touch would enhance the self esteem of the pregnant adolescent. The girls studied were enrolled in a school for the pregnant minor, established by the San Bernardino County Schools system, in a metropolitan area of San Bernardino, California.
The control group was composed of seven and the experimental group of twelve pregnant adolescents, ranging in age from fifteen through seventeen. The Q Sort technique was used as the tool with which to measure the self esteem of both groups. Two preliminary sorts …
The Effect Of Planned Physical Activities On Deficient Motor Skills In Head Start Preschool Children, Darlene L. Robinson
The Effect Of Planned Physical Activities On Deficient Motor Skills In Head Start Preschool Children, Darlene L. Robinson
Loma Linda University Electronic Theses, Dissertations & Projects
During the past few years many physicians, nurses, psychologists, teachers, and physical educators have begun to place more emphasis upon the developmental problems of children. As an outgrowth of this, more attention has been given the child showing mild to moderate motor problems. As a result of these more subtle difficulties going unrecognized and untreated, children may suffer from learning disorders, lack of acceptance by teachers and peers, maladaptive behavior and feelings of low self-esteem (Cratty, 1970; Kiphard, -1970; and Ferinden, 1972).
The purpose of this study was to ascertain whether planned physical activities would aid in remediation and/or modification …
Systematic Nursing Management Of University Students With Infectious Mononucleosis, Lillian N. Yelton
Systematic Nursing Management Of University Students With Infectious Mononucleosis, Lillian N. Yelton
Loma Linda University Electronic Theses, Dissertations & Projects
Infectious Mononucleosis has been one of the most misdiagnosed entities in medicine. Its ability to mimic other diseases and the abundance of misconceptions about it have long confused both diagnosis and treatment. Since there is still no specific drug to combat this disease. patients with characteristic symptoms are treated symptomatically for the period of extended convalescence. This study was carried out to explore the possible effects of systematic nursing management on Infectious Mononucleosis patients, in order to evaluate those things that significantly influence the patient’s course of illness and recovery, in a university outpatient health service.
The hypothesis formulated was: …
The Effect Of Programmed Instruction About Pacemakers Given In The Hospital Setting On The Immediate And Delayed Retention Of Information On Patients With Permanent Cardiac Pacemakers, Ann Ekroth, Eileen Zorn
The Effect Of Programmed Instruction About Pacemakers Given In The Hospital Setting On The Immediate And Delayed Retention Of Information On Patients With Permanent Cardiac Pacemakers, Ann Ekroth, Eileen Zorn
Loma Linda University Electronic Theses, Dissertations & Projects
A convenience sample of nineteen patients composing group A, hospitalized for initial placement of permanent cardiac pacemakers, was studied. A programmed instructional test was prepared by the investiga- tors for this population. The question under study was, does programmed instruction for pacemaker patients affect immediate and delayed recall of information? Patients were pre-tested, presented with the programmed instruction package and given a post-test immediately upon completion of the package. They were retested later to evaluate retention level. An IQ test was administered at the same time as the pre-test. Statistical analysis using t-tests indicated significant differences between pre-test scores and …
The Effect Of Pre-Admission Crisis Nursing Intervention On The Anxiety Level Of Elderly Persons On Admission To A Nursing Home, Doreen C. K. Lee
The Effect Of Pre-Admission Crisis Nursing Intervention On The Anxiety Level Of Elderly Persons On Admission To A Nursing Home, Doreen C. K. Lee
Loma Linda University Electronic Theses, Dissertations & Projects
The experimental study attempted to determine whether pre-admission crisis nursing intervention had any effect on the level of anxiety of elderly people when they were transferred from an acute hospital to a nursing home.
The literature review related to trends in numbers of nursing homes and in the increase in longevity. Several articles indicated that the aged, as a group, lacked power to alter their situations. The need for patients to express their feelings and participate in their own decisions was stressed in various studies. Other theories discussed theoretical aspects and goals of crisis intervention. Several articles suggested that crisis …
Consumer Satisfaction With Services In A Mental Health Center, Sandra M. Hare
Consumer Satisfaction With Services In A Mental Health Center, Sandra M. Hare
Loma Linda University Electronic Theses, Dissertations & Projects
An exploratory study was done with descriptive comparative components to examine the levels of consumer satisfaction at a mental health center, and there was also the intent to determine if satisfaction or dissatisfaction in one area of service affected the general satisfaction level. In addition, other variables and demographic data included in the questionnaire were examined.
Data collection was done by the use of a 23-item questionnaire that was administered to three departments of service, Outpatient, Drug Abuse, and Day-care, at North Orange County Mental Health Services. The sample group consisted of any adult in treatment who had made three …
Evaluation Of A Special Teaching Program With Ambulatory Cardiac Patients, Mary L. Mcgregor Minns
Evaluation Of A Special Teaching Program With Ambulatory Cardiac Patients, Mary L. Mcgregor Minns
Loma Linda University Electronic Theses, Dissertations & Projects
This study was designed to test the hypotheses that ambulatory cardiac patients given a special teaching program would have increased understanding about their medication, make fewer medication errors, and know more about undesirable effects and how to handle them than patients not included in the special teaching program. Forty-one ambulatory cardiac patients were, after a random start, alternately assigned to an experimental or to a control group. All the patients were taking one or more of three different medications before hospitalization, during their hospital stay, and after their discharge. Three medications, digoxin (lanoxin), lasix, and nitroglycerin, were studied. The program …
