Analysis of the practice environment of nurses in a public hospitalMotaung, Mmatimeng Catherine 08 1900 (has links)
The National Health Act aims to protect the health care users and workers by ensuring that their work environments are protected against injuries. Practice environment is described as a physical, social and psychological characteristic of a work setting in which policies, procedures and systems are designed so that employees can meet the organisational objectives and achieve personal satisfaction in their work environment.
The aim of the study was to describe and analyze characteristics of the practice environment of nurses. A quantitative descriptive study was conducted in a public hospital in Gauteng Province. Practice Environment Scale-Nursing Working Index (PES-NWI) questionnaires were distributed to 207 nurses who were proportionately stratified.
Data was analysed using the SPSS version 25. Findings identified gaps of the current characteristics of the practice environment and developed strategies that will assist managers to enhance practice environment. There was alignment and correlation between the means, standard deviation and the frequencies which were drawn from the findings. The overall Cronbach’s alpha was 89% which confirmed the internal consistency of the instrument. The majority of the variables demonstrated statistical significance which had a p value of 0.001.
In conclusion, practice environment affects all health care professionals although the study only analyzed the practice environment of nurses. / Health Studies / M. P. H.

Integrating a software engineering approach and instructional factors in instructional software development--illustrated by a prototype in theoretical computer scienceDe Villiers, M.R. (Ruth) 09 1900 (has links)
This dissertation is a multi-disciplinary study, which integrates a software engineering
approach with instructional factors in the decision-making, analysis, design and development
processes of instructional software. Software engineering models, tools and representations
are used in the process of software construction. With reference to the fundamental
characteristics of the software product, several disciplines and factors, from both instructional
and computing perspectives are considered, and the most appropriate approach/es selected.
Software engineering, instructional design and instructional theory are considered as pillars
of courseware engineering.
The object-oriented design paradigm and a prototyping life-cycle model are found to be most
suitable for development of computer-aided instruction. The conceptual study is illustrated
by prototype development of a component-based multi-activity practice environment in
theoretical Computer Science. It offers perusal or practice, in various instructional modes,
according to the user's preferred learning style or need. / Computing / M. Sc. (Information Systems)
