Abstract

The aim of this study was knowing the perceptions experienced by the Nursing students during a voluntary training. The data collected from 12 participants in a university hospital, during the period from May to July 2002 were analyzed through the content analysis technique, resulting in four categories: the nursing staff, the hospital admission unit, nurses' attitudes that promote the students' growth, and the value of the experience for the academic students. The statements evidenced the significance of this practice for the academic student and allowed a reflection on the aspects that must be improved to make the learning process easier.

Taking environmental action: the role of local composition, context, and collective.

This article explores individual and community action taken in response to perceived environmental risks by investigating the determinants of environmental action across a range of action types. A conceptual framework is first presented, which provides a foundation for investigating the role of local compositional (i.e., individual characteristics), contextual (i.e., neighborhood environment), and collective (i.e., social networks) factors in environmental action. To test the utility of the conceptual framework, a quantitative survey was administered to a random sample of households (n = 512) in Hamilton, Canada. The results suggest that the predictors of environmental action vary by action type (i.e., personal change, individual civic action, and cooperative civic action), and that factors related to perceived environmental exposure and social capital generally play a stronger, more consistent role in civic environmental action than sociodemographic or neighborhood factors. The results underscore the role of social connection in responses to perceived environmental risks.

Creating defensible space in the wildland-urban interface: the influence of values on perceptions and behavior.

We examined the effect that value orientation to forests and wildland fire management has on an individual's decision to create defensible space around his or her residence in the wildland-urban interface. Using data from a mail-back questionnaire, respondents in north central Minnesota were clustered by basic value-laden beliefs toward forest and wildland fire management and compared across a number of perceptions and behaviors related to creating defensible space around residences. Value orientation groups differed in attitudes, subjective norms, and perceived behavior control toward creating defensible space. In addition, relative effects of these perceptions on intention to create defensible space differed across groups. Implications lie in (a) understanding differences in motivations and reasons for support of strategies for managing fires near the wildland-urban interface, (b) developing information designed to address the perspectives of different groups related to creating defensible space, and (c) contributing to an improved integration of land management and public concerns and interests.

Perceived neighborhood characteristics and problem behavior among disadvantaged children.

Using survey data from former Head Start children in the third grade from 15 sites across the nation (n = 576), this study examines the relationship between maternal subjective neighborhood attributions and their children's behavioral problems. Maternal perceptions of neighborhood characteristics were measured across five domains, including collective efficacy, barriers to services, negative neighbor affects, probability of child status attainment success, and overall neighborhood rating. Children's problem behaviors, measured with the Social Skills Rating System, includes externalizing and internalizing outcomes. Our results suggest that the worse the maternal assessments on each neighborhood construct, the greater the extent of children's problem behavior, holding constant child demographic factors and parental socioeconomic status. In addition, we find that family income effects on children's problem behavior are partially mediated by these perceived neighborhood domains. Taken together, these results suggest that neighborhood deprivation is related to problematic behavioral outcomes in children.
