Instruction in Each of Five Nursing Roles and Role Discrepancy Among Associate Degree Nursing Graduates Employed in Hospitals

Abstract

dc:description

The purpose of this research was to examine the relationship of semester hours of instruction in five role areas in associate degree nursing programs and role discrepancy in the same five areas. Role discrepancy was defined as the difference between that level of role functioning the students expected and the actual level at which they were functioning approximately six months after being employed by hospitals. The five role areas were: management of patient care, patient care, patient teaching, communication, and member of a profession.
