Evaluating Nurses' Self-Efficacy in Caring for Patients with DementiaHopkins, Wendy 01 January 2017 (has links)
In 2011, 5 million Americans had dementia and this number is predicted to increase. As the number of people with dementia increases, the need for quality nursing care, education, and treatment for patients with dementia increases. To address the need, nurses not only must be prepared with the knowledge, skills, and abilities to care for patients with dementia, but they must also have the self-efficacy to provide quality care. The practice focused question guiding the project was to determine the level of self-efficacy for caring for dementia patients among long-term care nursing staff. Using Bandura's social cognitive theory, the purpose of this project was to gain information about the self-efficacy of nurses caring for dementia patients at one long-term care facility. Forty nurse participants each completed the 25-item, 5-point Likert scale Self-Efficacy in Dementia Care Survey. The quantitative data were descriptively analyzed to identify nursing training needed for tasks related to dementia patient care. Administrating medications, providing early management information, educating patient families, maneuvering the environment, and influencing the emotional response of patients were areas of knowledge and skill deficit for nurse participants. Findings from the project will be used to guide education and training to improve nurse self-efficacy in working with dementia patients. When nurses in long-term care facilities enhance their skills and knowledge, they may be able to provide better care to dementia patients, therefore promoting social change.

Kompetenstransfer efter omställning i arbetslivetBacklund, Yvonne, Johansson, Anna January 2013 (has links)
Kompetenstransfer handlar om att överföra sin kunskap och kompetensfrån en situation till en annan. Tidigare forskning har belyst transfer i en utbildningskontext men inte i en kontext av arbetsbyten. Syftet med studien var att se om variablerna: self-efficacy, karriärplanering, samt personlighetsdraget samvetsgrannhet har ett samband medkompetenstransfer i en kontext av omställning och byte av arbete. Studien genomfördes med hjälp av en webbaserad enkätundersökning och urvalet bestod av 62 personer som erhölls av ett omställningsföretag. Resultatet från en hierarkisk regressionsanalys visade att karriärplaneringsvariabeln karriärbyte hade ett signifikant samband med kompetenstransfer; personer som inte bytt bransch upplever mer kompetenstransfer än de som bytt bransch. Denna studie fann inte att variablerna samvetsgrannhet och self-efficacy var viktiga för kompetenstransfer vid arbetsbyten. Flera studier med ett större underlag behövs för att kunna dra mer pålitliga slutsatser huruvida dessa variabler spelar roll eller inte.

The relationship between academic resilience and sources of self-efficacy : investigation, intervention, and evaluationFong, Carlton Jing 26 July 2011 (has links)
Most low-achieving students continue to perform poorly throughout school. However, not all students remain on this achievement trajectory; a subset of initially low-achieving students appear to break this achievement pattern. This phenomenon is called academic resilience, a student’s capacity to overcome prior academic difficulty. The proposed study investigates low-income, low performing sixth-grade students, who will be classified into three groups based on their academic improvement in eighth grade: resilient (large improvement), buoyant (moderate improvement), and nonresilient (little or no improvement). The purpose of this study is to examine the differences among resilience groups on Bandura’s (1997) sources of self-efficacy as a function of sex and ethnicity, using a 3x3x2 MANOVA.
The implications for the proposed study suggested the development of an intervention to cultivate the four sources of self-efficacy for low-performing students in order to increase academic resilience. This report also includes an evaluation plan, which outlines the essential components from a theoretical intervention program, a logic model for this program, and the proposed method to measure the reported outcomes. / text

Utvärdering av multimodal rehabilitering för patienter med långvarig smärta : En jämförande behandlingsstudie i primärvårdAndersson, Marita January 2015 (has links)
Bakgrund: Långvarig smärta är ett vanligt förekommande problem och bidrar till lidande för den det drabbar, samt för med sig stora kostnader för samhället. Multimodal rehabilitering (MMR) sker i team utifrån ett biopsykosocialt synsätt och är en lämplig rehabiliteringsform för personer med långvarig smärta. Detta betyder att förutom fysiologiska aspekter omfattar behandlingen kognitiva, psykologiska, beteendemässiga och arbetsrelaterade komponenter. Syfte: Att utvärdera effekten av MMR för patienter med långvarig smärta inom primärvård avseende upplevd aktivitetsbegränsning, self-efficacy, samt sömnkvalitet. Metod: Studien hade en jämförande kvasiexperimentell design. Redan insamlad data via självskattningsformulär från 50 patienter analyserades efter MMR jämfört med före. De mätinstrument som användes var Pain Disability Index, Self-efficacy Scale samt två frågor om sömn. Resultat: Patienternas upplevda aktivitetsbegränsning minskade signifikant efter rehabiliteringen och self-efficacy ökade signifikant. Inga skillnader i sömnen kunde ses efter MMR jämfört med före. Slutsats: MMR i denna form förbättrade patienternas upplevda aktivitetsbegränsning och ökade self-efficacy, men avseende sömnkvalitet framkom ingen skillnad. För att bättre kunna möta och behandla sömnproblem hos smärtpatienter föreslås förbättringar i innehållet i MMR angående de behandlingsmodaliteter som erbjuds.
