Direct tape access as an adjunct to learning.

In a study to ascertain effect of direct tape access as an adjunct to learning, junior nursing student in a course in epidemiology were divided into control and experimental groups. The study extended through three quarters--fall, winter, and spring. Experimental students in the winter and spring quarters were given access to 15-minute taped summaries of each week's lecture. When midterm and final examination scores were analyzed according to study group, no statistically significant differences between control group scores and experimental group scores were computed, so that the tapes were found to have no effect on learning; however, student satisfaction with the course showed a significant increase.

Public health nursing in crisis.

The problems experienced in public health nursing in the United States are serious and many. The proposed solution may provide a method for change. Delivery of services will then focus on public health needs and will resist the the pressure to fit needs to available funds. Provider outreach to meet community needs will supersede primary care. The health professions will share resources rather than responsibilities. Public health nursing will focus on disease prevention and control rather than on treatment, and nurse practitioners in other specialties will refer clients to public health nurses when their particular skills are needed. Thus resolution of the present crisis may result in a stronger cadre of public health nurses who are secure in their role and revitalized in their dedication to health care in the community.
