Este estudo teve como objeto analisar o impacto da primeira Lei de Diretrizes e Bases da Educação Nacional (LDB) em 1961, sobre escolas de enfermagem e acessibilidade ao ensino. Foram objetivos do estudo: identificar e descrever as circunstâncias históricas que envolveram a aprovação da legislação de ensino da enfermagem, anteriormente à promulgação da LDB; analisar as implicações da LDB frente ao ensino e ao funcionamento de escolas de enfermagem e a acessibilidade de candidatos a essas escolas; e, discutir a influência da LDB no processo de desenvolvimento da Enfermagem na sociedade brasileira. Trata-se de um estudo descritivo, qualitativo, exploratório, de natureza histórico-social e legal, com base em análise documental da década de 1960. A história nova, sob a ótica de Jacques Le Goff, ajuda a explicar ou recontextualizar os fatos, vinculados ao objeto do estudo por meio da triangulação de dados. As principais fontes documentais para o estudo foram a Revista Brasileira de Enfermagem e o periódico Documenta, do Conselho Federal de Educação. O Decreto n°. 20.109/31 e a Lei n°. 775/49 marcaram profundamente as estruturas do ensino e estabeleceram os primeiros currículos de enfermagem. Ao se analisar hoje o impacto da LDB, parece claro que preocupações de muitas diretoras de escolas de enfermagem no período da década de 1960 não se confirmaram de todo, como por exemplo, a acessibilidade de novas alunas aos cursos de enfermagem. Quanto às escolas de enfermagem, de fato, ocorreu um decréscimo significativo delas, pois havia muitas vagas ociosas nos cursos existentes, durante, praticamente, toda a década do estudo. Quanto ao desenvolvimento da profissão como um todo à luz da LDB, pode-se destacar que houve impacto sobre a regulamentação profissional / This study aimed to having as object to analyze the impact of the first Law for National Education Guidelines and Basis (LDB) in 1961, over schools of nursing and accessibility to education. Objectives of the study were: to identify and describe the historical circumstances which involved the approval of the nursing educations enactments prior to the promulgation of the LDB; to analyze the implications of LDB in relation to education and functioning of the nursing schools and accessibility of candidates to them; and, to discuss the LDB influence on the nursing development process in the Brazilian society. It is a descriptive, qualitative, exploratory study of historical, social and legal nature, based on documental analysis on the 1960s decade. The new history under Jacques Le Goffs perspective helps to explain and re-contextualize facts linked to the study object through triangulation of data. The main documental sources were the Revista Brasileira de Enfermagem (Brazilian Journal of Nursing) and the journal Documenta from the Brazilian Federal Education Council. The Decree 20,109 enacted in 1931 and the Law 775, in 1949, deeply marked the educational structures and established the first nursing curricula. Analyzing today the LDB impact, it seems clear that many of the nursing schools deans, at the 1960s, worries have not confirmed in all, for example, on the accessibility of new students to the nursing courses. In relation to the nursing schools, as a matter of fact, it has had a significant reduction of its number, as there were many vacancies in the existent courses practically during the whole decade of this study. In relation to the profession development as a whole in the light of the LDB, an impact on the professional regulation should be highlighted

D.Cur. / During the last decade there has been a surge of interest in quality issues in education. This is largely due to spiralling costs of education and political demands for accountability in public institutions. In South Africa, higher education institutions are now required by law (Higher Education Act No. 101 of 1997 and the South African Qualifications Act No. 58 of 1995) to introduce quality management in an attempt to assure quality ofboth the programmes and the education providers. The Nursing Colleges in Gauteng provide nursing education to nearly 2000 nurses and, as such, make the major contribution to providing for the quality of the health care services. The colleges therefore have a double reason for introducing quality improvement measures, which start with a system for monitoring the quality of the colleges. In this study a quality audit system has been developed to address this need. There is no comprehensive internal audit system, which allows for quantitative measurement and acts as an empowerment strategy for institutional quality improvement in the nursing colleges in South Africa. The following research questions are relevant: • what should an auditing system for nursing colleges comprise? • what are the indicators of quality in a nursing college? • is the auditing system trustworthy? The overall aim of the study was to develop an audit system for the nursing colleges in Gauteng. This aim was supported by the following objectives: Phase one: to conduct a value clarification of quality within the nursing colleges in Gauteng, as perceived by the internal and external customers. Phase two: to explore and describe a conceptual framework for a quality audit system for nursing colleges in Gauteng. Phase three: a. to develop a quality audit system for the nursing colleges in Gauteng b. To pilot the audit system in one nursing college in Gauteng. A qualitative, exploratory, descriptive and contextual design was conducted within the nursing colleges of Gauteng in order to develop a contextual framework and a quality audit system for the nursing colleges. The content validity was tested by means of quantitative methods. The audit system that was developed included a tool for auditing the quality of nursing colleges as a means to identifY conformance to standards, criteria and indicators and to improve the quality of the structure, processes and results ofthe organization. The standards were developed on the basis of a value clarification of internal and external customers. Clusters ofindicators were developed for each of the standards. The value of this study is that a comprehensive audit system has been developed which empowers the staffand students ofthe college to improve the quality ofthe college. The same system can be used for purposes of accreditation, as an accountability mechanism and for institutional recognition.

The purpose of this study is to provide base line data which does not currently exist for libraries supporting nursing education in baccalaureate, masters and doctoral nursing programs. The survey covers physical environment, clientele, resources, budget, and personnel in these libraries. A survey instrument was developed by the researcher and sent to 537 nursing programs in senior colleges and universities listed in Baccalaureate Education in Nursing 1989-90, and Graduate Education in Nursing 1989-90. Two hundred and fifty two or 47 percent of the institutions responded.

Many entry-level nurses are not prepared to handle medical emergencies. Although responsible for managing the care of individuals with complex medical conditions, many of these nurses compromise the safety of patients due to a lack of experience and an inability to apply clinical judgment. The purpose of this study was to explore the perceptions of registered nurses about their transition from entry-level to advanced beginner. Bandura's social cognitive theory, along with Colaizzi's descriptive method of data analysis, provided a basis for this phenomenological study. Research questions focused on challenges that entry-level nurses have experienced with problem-solving and complex patient care that requires advanced critical thinking and the application of clinical judgment. Criterion sampling facilitated recruitment of advanced-beginner RNs, with data collected through semistructured, one-on-one interviews. Data analysis occurred in a series of steps, including extracting and developing meanings from interview transcripts, clustering meanings into description lists, and eliminating outliers. Data analysis revealed 12 major themes aligned with behavior, clinical environment, and personal/cognitive factors. Among the findings were that nurses often felt unsupported, unable to manage conflict, unprepared, unseasoned, inefficient, and unable to lead others effectively. This study was necessary because its findings may provide insights leaders in health services can use to develop strategies to better prepare entry-level nurses to care for individuals with complex medical conditions. Among the implications for positive social change are developing a better tool for the training and advancement of entry-level nurses, consequently improving patient safety and reducing health care costs.

The two purposes of the study were to investigate and compare job perceptions (satisfaction-dissatisfaction) of two groups of part-time nursing faculty teaching in Indiana associate and baccalaureate nursing programs and to recommend guidelines for increasing job satisfaction of part-time employees. Referent groups in the study included:1. part-time faculty surveyed in 1983 and 19872. administrators of nursing programs surveyed in 1983 and 1988A 12-item questionnaire containing 12 job satisfiers relating to current and restructured positions was used to gather perceptions from referent groups.Findings1. Achievement, autonomy, and responsibility motivators were ranked in that order as the three most important job satisfiers by the combined 1983 and 1987 part-time faculty respondents in current and restructured positions.2. Part-time faculty, 1983, ranked salaries as eighth most important job satisfier in current positions and sixth most important in restructured positions. Part-time faculty, 1987, ranked salaries as eighth most important job satisfier in current positions and third most important in restructured positions. Administrators in 1983 and 1988 ranked salaries as ninth most important job satisfier for part-time faculty in current positions and most important job satisfier in restructured positions.3. Administrators cited budget, most frequently, as the reason they employed part-time faculty. Part-time faculty frequently mentioned inadequate salary as the most dissatisfying facet of part-time teaching.4. Part-time faculty most often listed interaction with students as the most satisfying facet of their teaching.Conclusions1. The job satisfier, salaries, has become more important to job satisfaction for part-time nursing faculty.2. With the exception of salaries, part-time faculty respondents ranked job satisfiers classified as motivators as more important in the restructured positions than job satisfiers classified as maintenance factors.3. Part-time teaching offers qualified nurses an opportunity for job satisfaction due to the many motivators which are inherent in the position. / Department of Educational Leadership
