Caring among nursing students.

Nursing students need to have a sense of being cared for in order to nurture their own ability to care for others. This phenomenologic study explored the meaning of caring among nursing students. Fifty-three nursing students were asked to describe a situation in which they had experienced caring from another nursing student. Their written descriptions were analyzed using Van Kaam's phenomenologic method. Four necessary constituents of a caring experience among nursing students emerged: Authentic presencing, selfless sharing, fortifying support, and enriching effects. The enriching effects of caring experiences among nursing students that were revealed support the author's stance that, along with faculty, nursing students can also be role models for caring.

Performance of student nurses on the Edwards Personal Preference Schedule.

One hundred sixty-seven female nursing students in a baccalaureate program were administered the Edwards Personal Preference Schedule. Comparisons were made with the original norms for college women and with recently published norms for a group of urban college women, as well as with data for a group of nursing students collected at the time of the appearance of the original norms. While nursing students reflected some of the significant changes occurring among college women between 1959 and 1973, they continued to maintain a profile of needs consistent with the traditional view of those in their profession.

The attitudes of nursing students and others about mental illness.

Student nurses tend to report somewhat moderate attitudes toward mental illness in that they appear to be less radical than psychology students, but less conservative than teacher-students in education. The student nurses' attitudes are similar to those of psychiatric residents, but more radical than psychiatric nurses.

Student nurse opinions about the importance of health promotion practices.

Senior nursing students (N = 505) attending 13 schools in the NY metropolitan area were administered a questionnaire to assess their beliefs about the importance of health promotion behaviors to the average person. Respondents rated 23 health promotion practices on a Likert scale. The five most important items concerned: knowledge of drug contents and their side effects; the elimination of cigarette and cigar smoking; eating a balanced diet; and using a seat belt. The least important item concerned having an annual exercise test. These results were similar to those found for other health care providers, including physicians, dietitians, and pharmacists. Further, the results were similar to those found in an earlier survey of student nurses. Nurses' attitudes and beliefs seem supportive of health promotion and disease prevention. These attitudes also seem associated with the nurse's role as health promoter. Positive nurse attitudes/beliefs toward health promotion are posited as precursors to the alteration of patient behaviors, although further exploration in this area is needed.

Effects of summer employment on student nurses: implications for recruitment and retention of staff nurses.

Nursing students often seek summer employment in hospital settings to practice and refine previously learned skills. Nursing administrators possibly view this employment as a means of relieving short-term staffing problems. However, if summer employment is seen as a potential strategy for recruiting future graduate nurses, then one needs to address the following: how to provide support for the student nurse to deal with the same concerns and issues as the new graduate (role confusion and reality shock); how to ensure that appropriate feedback is provided to enhance clinical skills. A pilot study of the effects of summer employment in a Quebec hospital on six second year CEGEP (diploma) nursing students explored these issues. The findings suggest actions which might suitably be taken by an agency in order to reinforce and facilitate the maintenance and promotion of excellence in patient care, as well as commitment to the profession and integration into the nursing culture.
