Developmental Disabilities: Improving Competence In Care Using Virtual Patients, Ida Slusher

Ida Slusher

Nurse practitioners (NPs) have an increasingly important role in health care provision in the United States. However, most nurses report that they receive little or no clinical training in the area of developmental disabilities. A core development team consisting of NP faculty members from three universities, one physician assistant faculty member, the parents of children with developmental disabilities, and educational specialists developed two multimedia interactive pediatric instructional modules in CD-ROM format: one involving a child with Down syndrome and the other, an infant born at 26 weeks gestation. Participants were required to make decisions about proper clinical interaction throughout the …

Recruitment And Retention Of Nurse Educators: An Imperative Intervention To Decrease The Nursing Shortage, Bridget Roberts

Bridget R. Roberts

The United States faces a critical shortage of full time registered nurses as the Health Resources and Service Administration (HRSA, 2004) estimates that one million vacancies will occur by the year 2020.

The current vacancy rate of nurse educators is 8,8%, with an average of 2,2 vacancies reported per school of nursing. A recent survey by the American Association of Colleges of Nursing ([AACN], 2007) found that 71,3% of nursing schools reported vacancies and were in need of additional faculty.

The purpose of this study was to examine data from the 2002 NSFG in order to determine the influence of religiosity on abortion and abortifacient contraceptive use, i.e., the use of the oral contraceptive pill (OC), the injected hormone Depoprovera (IC), the IUD, and hormonal emergency contraception (EC), among American women between the …

The Influence Of Religiosity, Gender, And Language Preference Acculturation On Sexual Activity Among Latino/A Adolescents, Lisa Edwards, Richard Fehring, Keyona Jarrett, Kristin Haglund

Richard J Fehring

The purpose of this study was to determine the main and interactive effects of religiosity, gender, and language preference acculturation on sexual activity among 570 Latino/a adolescents from the 2002 National Survey of Family Growth. Results indicated that adolescents who viewed religion as very important, had frequent church attendance, and had more traditional attitudes on sexuality were less likely ever to have sex compared with adolescents who were less religious. Those with frequent church attendance and high traditional attitudes had fewer lifetime and recent sex partners. Unassimilated religious youth were less likely ever to have sex, had fewer lifetime and …
