Perceptions of factors affecting student-patient matching in Illinois associate degree nurse clinical experiences
No full textThe study was exploratory descriptive. The purpose of the study was to focus on the student nurse-patient matching process used by nurse educators in the clinical setting, as this process is lacking in the literature.Two hundred and one Likert type questionnaires were mailed to full-time Associate Degree Nurse educators throughout Illinois who had a minimum of one years clinical experience. The questionnaire was designed to identify Illinois Associate Degree Nurse educator's perceptions of essential elements affecting student-patient matching for the student Associate Degree nurse to demonstrate the synthesis of cognitive, affective, and psychomotor skills in the clinical setting.The data analysis revealed three items which the clinical educators identified as having the most importance in the student-patient matching process. These items are (a) the matching of clinical and course objectives, (b) the patient's nursing care implementation, and (c) the specific learning needs of the student.The questionnaire items were then investigated by completing an analysis of variance (ANOVA) between each questionnaire item and eight demographic variables to identify promising relationships. The variable, clinical teaching assignment whether basic, medical-surgical, or the specialities (Obstetrics, Pediatrics, Gerontology, or Psychiatric) indicated a level of significance (p =.01) with three questionnaire items. These three items were: (a) the patient's ability to co-operate, (b) previous courses completed completed by the student, and (c) college laboratory preparation of the student. A second variable, the student-instructor ratio, indicated a level of significance (p =.01) with one questionnaire item which was the responsibility of the instructor's role in the clinical setting.Made available in DSpace on 2011-05-07T12:00:39Z (GMT).

Attitude and Perspectives of Teachers Regarding Principal Effectiveness
No full textabstract: Educational Leadership is inherent of many qualities. Individuals who possess leadership stand apart from the mainstream population in general society and in any organization, thus they are change agents who influence others by their uniqueness and dynamism. The art of leadership is challenging, but meaningful, and purposeful as the focus is implementation of consistent affective and effective practices at all levels to assure achievable outcomes no matter the organization type. A leader's calling is rewarding and the journey is that of making and sustaining change through influence. The purpose of this study centered on the relationship factor of educational leadership especially the dynamics between the principal and the teacher and what constructs affect this relationship to affect principal effectiveness. The methodology employed a quantitative format and consisted of a 20 question survey sent to one school district's teachers (N=465) over a 3 month window. The summaries of results were presented in two formats: Raw (exactly how teachers answered) and a Cross-tabulation (Age & Licensure). The findings of the study yielded attitudes and perspectives of teachers regarding valuable information on leadership behaviors, styles, and practices that teachers believe were relevant to principal effectiveness. The most noteworthy aspect gleaned from this study was the people factor wherein relationships are a key factor to a leader's success in any realm that one leads.Dissertation/ThesisEd.D.
