The aim of this study was to determine the knowledge of critical care nurses regarding ventilator waveforms in order to develop an educational programme on this topic. A quantitative, descriptive, contextual research design was used, and convenience sampling implemented. A survey, using a questionnaire as measuring instrument, was conducted among critical care nurses in selected private hospitals in Gauteng. The response rate was 69%. Cronbach’s alpha indicated that the questionnaire was fairly reliable. The total average percentage achieved by the group of 111 respondents was 40,28%, which is 19.72% below the set competency indicator of 60%. Only 15 respondents achieved a percentage of or above the competency indicator. Results proved that the respondents required intensive training on the topic. A user-friendly education programme in the format of a PowerPoint presentation was developed to address knowledge deficiencies in critical care nurses’ interpretation of ventilator graphics. / Dissertation (MCur (Clinical))--University of Pretoria, 2007. / Nursing Science / MCur / unrestricted

The purpose of the study was to investigate the knowledge of TB patients receiving TB treatment at a clinic in Tshwane regarding the condition and their treatment. A descriptive cross-sectional survey was conducted. Data was collected using a self-designed structured questionnaire administered by the researcher and nurses. The population consisted of diagnosed TB patients. The total sample consisted of 74 respondents. The respondents were described in terms of inter alia their demographics, aspects of their health and TB and aspects related to clinic visits. For the knowledge about TB a competency indicator was set at 70% which means that those that achieved this were regarded as knowledgeable. Those that were found to be not knowledgeable were 41.9% of the sample. The mean score achieved by the group was 61% with a standard deviation of 25. Recommendations were made to amend knowledge deficits of TB patients and for further research / Health Studies / M.A. (Public Health)

本研究旨在建立國民中學總務主任核心能力指標，藉以提供相關主管單位進行總務人力培訓及學校行政人員職涯進修之參考。研究初始，先以文獻分析法歸納出國民中學總務主任核心能力指標，並邀請專家委員進行適切性問卷與模糊德菲術問卷評估，完成指標的修正與確立。接著，即運用三角模糊術整合專家委員對指標內容重要性之看法，並接續指標篩選作業，最後以歸一化方式求得各構面與指標權重，遂完成整體指標系統建立。 本研究建構之指標系統共為六大構面38項指標，各構面權重介於15.8%至17.3%之間，有關構面權重與指標內涵依序排列為： 一、「自我管理」構面（17.3%），各指標權重介於3.2%至3.8%間，依序為：廉潔自持、敬業精神、溝通表達、行政倫理、情商管理。 二、「法規知能」構面（17.2%），各指標權重介於2.0%至2.5%間，依序為：政府採購法規知能、消防法規知能、財產管理法規知能、建築法規知能、營繕法規知能、主計法規知能、勞工安全衛生法規知能、文書管理法規知能。 三、「管理實務」構面（16.8%），各指標權重介於1.7%至2.0%間，依序為：採購管理、營繕工程管理、防災與校安管理、風險與危機管理、出納與財務管理、資源管理、事務工作管理、職工管理、文書與檔案管理。 四、「行政領導」構面（16.8%），各指標權重介於1.7%至2.0%間，依序為：領導與協調、行政與績效管理、團隊建立與合作、政策執行、人力資源管理、計畫撰擬與管理、問題分析與規劃、公共關係管理、會議管理。 五、「校園營造」構面（16.1%），各指標權重介於3.9%至4.2%間，依序為：設備與設施維護、綠能與環保管理、空間規劃、綠美化管理。 六、「永續創發」構面（15.8%），各指標權重介於5.1%至5.4%間，依序為：顧客導向、前瞻與創新、反思與再造。 / The purpose of this study is to construct main competency indicators of director of general affairs in junior high school, which aim to provide governments with information about training personnel of general affairs and school administrators. To start the research, main competency indicators of director of general affairs was organized by literature review. Then invite experts to conduct appropriate assessment and Fuzzy Delphi questionnaire evaluations, completing modification of indicators.
