Meaningful life experience to the elderly.

The purpose of the study was to identify the basic structure of an experience from life through which or during which the elderly derive the sense that life is meaningful, as a manifestation of the human spirit. A phenomenological methodology was used, with participants being interviewed until common themes emerged. Protocols obtained from the interviews were analyzed according to the seven-step method developed by Colaizzi (1978). An exhaustive description of the meaningful experience was obtained; it includes four common themes. The themes and the implications for nursing practice are discussed.

The efficacy of individualized computerized testing in nursing education.

This study examined the effects of an individualized computerized testing system for baccalaureate nursing students enrolled in health assessment and obstetrics/women's health during a 3-year period. One hundred twenty-seven students participated in the study. The testing software, Pedagogue, was used to generate the computer tests, and the students took all quizzes on-line. The mean scores on computer tests in both courses were as good as, or better than, previous scores on paper-pencil forms of the tests (P < .05).
