Die Unzufriedenheit der Patient:innen steht oft in Kohärenz mit überfüllten Notaufnahmen. Dabei sind besonders die Überschreitung der Ressourcen und Verzögerungen bei der Wartezeit zusammenhängend zu betrachten. In den 1990er Jahren wurde nach einem System zur Verbesserung des Zeitmanagements gesucht. Dies führte zur Methode der Triage. Trotz der Einführung der Triage ist die Patientenunzufriedenheit immer noch ein häufiges Gesprächsthema, wenn es um die Notaufnahme geht. Unter Berücksichtigung des architekturpsychologischen Aspekts stellt sich die Frage: „Wie kann die Raumgestaltung des Wartebereiches architektonisch an das individuelle Empfinden von Patient:innen bei einer Triage angepasst werden?“. Um diese Frage zu beantworten, wurde eine Umfrage mit verschiedenen Sichtweisen von Personen durchgeführt. Betrachtet wurden einerseits Patient:innen, sowie Begleitpersonen und andererseits Personen, die noch gar nicht in der Notaufnahme waren. Anhand der Umfrageergebnisse wurden Hauptkriterien ermittelt, die sich auf die Empfindungen der Patient:innen und Begleitpersonen beziehen. Resümierend haben sich zum einen die Privatsphäre, sowie Ausruhmöglichkeiten und zum anderen Gesichtspunkte wie Ablenkung und eine gute Atmosphäre als Hauptkriterien eines Warteraumes ergeben. Aus den aufgestellten Kriterien wurden verschiedene, raumgestaltende Elemente entwickelt, die sich den Bedürfnissen der wartenden Patient:innen und deren Begleitpersonen anpassen. Sie dienen als Gestaltungsempfehlungen.

Considering this, the measurement of the work load becomes fundamental. This investigation, which is based on observation, has used the sample work technique and it presents the following aims: 1- identifying and validating the activities developed by nurses in a Chemotherapy Center and; 2- to measure the work load and productivity. The stage is a Chemotherapy Central placed in the South-East of Brazil. Nine assistant nurses have taken part (moments 1 and 2) and other seven of them (moments 3 and 4) during the period from May, 2010 to March, 2011. The study has been conducted in four moments: 1- identification of the interventions/activities, 2- validation of content, 3. pilot test and, 4- measuring of work load. In order to identify the activities performed by the nurses, a device was built using triangulation of data, combining three sources of information: semi-structured interview, documents analysis and questionnaire. The activities mapped have been categorized according to the language patterned by the Nurse Intervention Classification (NIC). Afterwards, the device has been submitted to content validation through meetings with the members. The final instrument was formed by 35 interventions and 48 activities organized in five areas (basic physiologic and complex physiologic, behaviorist, security and health system) and 11 classes. The pilot test using the instrument, conducted by two nurses during four consecutive days, has totaled 1000 samples and has resulted in 38 interventions and 88 activities. The sample size has been statistically established. The observations have been conducted during five days totalizing 1.487 samples of interventions/activities. It has been observed that 43,2% of the nurses time have been spent in indirect care, 33,2% indirect care, 11,6% in associated activities and 12% in personal activities. The average productivity has corresponded to 88%. This study has allowed the mapping and the validation of interventions/activities conducted during the attendance process. There has been concluded that nurses from the investigated unit have spent most of their time performing activities of indirect care. It has highlighted, furthermore, productivity indexes above the recommended ones present in the literature. / O aumento do volume de atendimento em central de quimioterapia tem exigido dos enfermeiros melhor gestão do tempo de trabalho e produtividade para atender a demanda. Dessa forma, a mensuração da carga de trabalho torna-se de fundamental importância. Essa investigação, de natureza observacional, utilizou técnica de amostragem de trabalho e teve como propósitos: 1- identificar e validar as atividades desenvolvidas por enfermeiros em Central de Quimioterapia e; 2- mensurar a carga de trabalho e produtividade. O cenário constitui-se em uma central de quimioterapia localizada na região sudeste do Brasil. Participaram do estudo nove enfermeiros assistenciais (momentos 1 e 2) e sete(momentos 3 e 4) durante o período de maio de 2010 a de março de 2011.O estudo foi realizado em quatro momentos: 1- identificação das intervenções/atividades, 2- validação de conteúdo, 3- teste piloto e, 4- mensuração de carga de trabalho. Para identificar as atividades realizadas pelos enfermeiros foi construído um instrumento utilizando triangulação de dados, combinando três fontes de informações: entrevista semiestruturada, análise de documento e questionário. As atividades mapeadas foram categorizadas segundo a linguagem padronizada pela Classificação de Intervenção de Enfermagem (NIC). Posteriormente, o instrumento foi submetido à validação de conteúdo através de reuniões com os participantes. O instrumento final foi composto por 35 intervenções e 48 atividades organizadas em cinco domínios (fisiológico básico e fisiológico complexo, comportamental, segurança e sistema de saúde) e 11 classes. O teste piloto com o instrumento, conduzido por duas enfermeiras durante quatro dias consecutivos, totalizou 1000 amostras e resultou em 38 intervenções e 88 atividades. O tamanho amostral foi estabelecido estatisticamente. As observações foram conduzidas durante cinco dias totalizando 1.487 amostras de intervenções/atividades. Observou-se que 43,2% do tempo dos enfermeiros foram consumidos em cuidados indiretos, 33,2% em cuidados diretos, 11,6% em atividades associadas e 12% em atividades pessoais. A produtividade média correspondeu a 88%. Este estudo permitiu mapear e validar as intervenções/atividades realizadas durante o processo assistencial. Concluiu que enfermeiros da unidade investigada consumiram a maior parte de seu tempo em atividades de cuidados indiretos. Revelou, ainda, índice de produtividade acima dos recomendados na literatura.

The aim of this thesis is to gather data within the harmonization proces between work and family life at addressed families where is the woman´s role either an employee or businesswoman. The theoretical part deals with aspects which help women with easier harmonization between two lifes areas - work and family. Specifically, this part deals with various forms of child care and types of financial support provided by the state. The thesis also solves the forms of flexible working hours, with emphasis on their current use across the European Union countries. The practical part is focused on mapping strategies in addressed families with a woman who is in labour-law relation and families with a businesswoman. For these purposes were chosen families (men and women) with which we were making inteviews and questionnaires focused on the time allocated to various tasks in one day.

Subjects: This diploma thesis is dedicated to the topic of time management in nursing - it deals with four generations of time management and with its different techniques. Furthermore it describes functions and roles of a manager. Objectives: The main objective of this thesis is to analyse time management issues that concern nurse managers working in intensive care. The main goal of the research is to answer following question: How do nurse managers in intensive care use and organise their working time? Secondary goals are: to name priorities of nurse managers on an ordinary working day, to find out which timekeeping devices do nurse managers use for direct measuring of time consumption, to analyze managerial strategies used by nurse managers for their time management, to sum up the most frequent tasks postponed by nurse managers for a later time and find the reasons of procrastination. Methodology: Data were gained through a combined quantitative and qualitative research design. Quantitative research was done through the use of a time frame of a working day and a working week of nurse managers. Results were presented in boxes and charts to provide a better overview. Data for qualitative analysis were gained through semi-structured interviews in three focus groups. Qualitative data were processed...

The general purpose of this study completed in 1999 was to create an accurate, documented description of the experiences of nine students, three faculty members and two administrators in higher education in Chile during the military government 1973 - 1990.A qualitative approach was selected as the most appropriate methodology to' complete the study. A variety of methods and data collection strategies were used. The major data collection strategies were interviews and reviewing of primary and secondary written sources. The interviews were used to collect evidence concerning interviewees' experiences, as well as their attitudes, and perceptions regarding the events that occurred in higher education during the rule of the military government 1973 - 1990.The researcher decided to use a judgment sample of interviewees from the population based on their knowledge about the topic and their willingness to share their knowledge and experiences. Geographical representation, position within the institutions, kind of institution represented, and gender were major the considerations at the moment of selecting the sample too.Thanks to the U.S.A. Freedom of Information Act, which established an effective statutory right to access by any person or organization to federal government information, the researcher found official information that allowed for triangulation of evidence.The findings showed that the changes the military government implemented through their modernization of the educational system did not follow the historical trend of educational development in Chile. Furthermore, under the military government, policymaking in higher education was circumscribed to autocratic arenas, which usually coincided with government policy. Education was utilized to serve the purpose of the government. The educational system 1973 - 1990 failed to serve those with special needs. Free-market policies profoundly transformed education from a right available to all, to a commodity available in varying quantity and quality according to purchasing power of individuals.The impact of military government on higher education during the military rule was notorious and huge. Even though they were destructive in some aspects the military government did good things for the educational system. The issue in discussion is the price that was paid. / Department of Educational Leadership

In 1991, the NCAA created Challenging Athletes Minds for Personal Success (CHAMPS)/Life Skills (NCAA, 2005). The CHAMPS/Life Skills program concentrates on five areas: Academic Commitment, Athletic Commitment, Personal Development Commitment, Career Development Commitment, and Service Commitment (NCAA, 2005). Very few amendments and modifications have been made to the CHAMPS/Life Skills educational material since the program was developed. In the present creative thesis project, revisions and updates were implemented to the current material to satisfy the needs of collegiate student-athletes. Hence, the purpose of this creative thesis project was to update the Academic Commitment module within the CHAMPS/Life Skills manual. Specifically, the Time Management and Study Skills components were revised. These revisions were evaluated by three university professors. In conclusion, the present creative thesis project will assist in presenting CHAMPS/Life Skills material to student-athletes. / School of Physical Education, Sport, and Exercise Science

A key challenge of the learning sciences is moving research results into practice. Educators on the front lines perceive little value in the outputs of education research and demand more “usable knowledge”. This work explores the potential instead of usable artifacts to translate knowledge into practice, adding scientists as stakeholders in an interaction design process. The contributions are two effective systems, the scientific and contextual principles in their design, and a research model for scientific research through interaction design. College student study practices are the domain chosen for the development of these methods. Iterative ethnographic fieldwork identified two systems that would be likely to advance both learning in practice and knowledge for applying the employed theories in general. Nudge was designed to improve students’ study time management by regularly emailing students with explicit recommended study activities. It reconceptualizes the syllabus into an interactive guide that fits into modern students' attention streams. Examplify was designed to improve how students learn from worked example problems by modularizing them into steps and scaffolding their metacognitive behaviors though problem-solving and self-explanation prompts. It combines these techniques in a way that is exceedingly easy to author, using existing answer keys and students' self-evaluations. Nudge and Examplify were evaluated experimentally over a full semester of a lecture-based introductory chemistry course. Nudge messages increased students’ sense of achievement and interacted with students’ existing time management skills to improve exam grades for poorer students. Among students who could choose whether to receive them, 80% did. Students with access to Examplify had higher exam scores (d=0.26), especially on delayed measures of learning (d=0.40). A key design decision in Examplify was not clearly resolvable by existing theory and so was tested experimentally by comparing two variants, one without prompts to solve the steps. The variant without problem solving was less effective (d=0.77) and less used, while usage rates of the variant with problem solving increased over time. These results support the use of the design methods employed and provide specific empirical recommendations for future designs of these and similar systems for implementing theory in practice.
