The argument is made new, tranformative needed. Background. Cultural awareness other foundation existing strategies teach education. Students encouraged learn about each culture, often described as a monolith, by learning unique...
Purpose: To examine methodological issues associated with using the Internet and World Wide Web for scientific research, namely, related to nature of sample, testing environment environmental factors, privacy, confidentiality, response rates. Methods: Reviews literature personal observation experience. Findings: Web‐based research provides many advantages such as access specific, sometimes difficult‐to‐find populations, speed data access, decreased costs collection entry. Such benefits are...
Nursing research has not evolved with immunity from the qualitative–quantitative debate which surrounded behavioural and social sciences. The outcome of this should be better nursing science since researchers are forced to face address controversial issues. Attaining goal requires issues a knowledge epistemology methodology blind devotion tradition hard This paper addresses epistemology, methodology, ethics for two prototypes continuum. Grounded theory explains qualitative research: search...
Health locus of control, self-esteem, and health status were analyzed for their impact on health-promoting life-style activities in 262 women between 35 65 years age. Negative chance current status, worry/concerns, post-high-school education, internal control explained 25% the variance likelihood to engage activities. Two canonical variates 72.8% criterion set, subscale scores Health-Promoting Lifestyle Profile (Walker, Sechrist, & Pender, 1987). Internal future 36.3% self-actualization,...
The purposes of this study were to describe the health-promoting lifestyle behaviors 397 employed Mexican American women and compare them with in other published reports that used Health-Promoting Lifestyle Profile (HPLP). had highest HPLP total scores all minority groups, but lower than predominantly White groups. self-actualization interpersonal support subscale scores. exercise was lowest score for including minorities. Canonical analysis revealed two significant canonical variate pairs...
The study investigated relationships among demographics, self esteem, health locus of control, promotion behaviors, perceived and functional ratings in 179 older men women from 65 to 99 years. Canonical correlation stepwise discriminant analyses demonstrated several meaningful significant suggesting that exercise nutrition may be critical activities associated with better scores on five dimensions. 85+ years age group differed younger groups through having significantly higher reported scores.
