Full textOBJECTIVES: To assess the attitudes of future health professionals towards taking medication. METHODS: A beliefs about medications questionnaire (BMQ) was passed out to pre-pharmacy students at a pre- pharmacy club meeting on April 4, 2011. The questionnaire utilized a five-point Likert scale with 1 being strongly disagree and 5 strongly agree. The collected data was used to compare with the BMQ scores from the general public available in the Horne et.al. study. RESULTS: Pre-pharmacy students had significantly less agreement with negative statements (mean and SD, 2.43 ± 0.65) than the lay public (mean and SD, 3.75 ± 0.29) (p = 0.029). CONCLUSION: We found that pre-pharmacy students tended to view medication use more positively than the general public. However, more surveys were needed in order to confirm these results. Overall we found a significant difference between attitudes held by pre-pharmacy students towards medication use and attitudes held by the lay public.

Full textThirty-five years have passed since the HIV epidemic began and the stigma associated with the disease is still present today. This study examined the level of HIV stigma that exists among students attending a nursing school in an area with a high prevalence of HIV/AIDS. The study also determined if the level of stigma differed between pre-licensure and post-licensure nursing students.
Demographic data and responses from the Health Care Provider HIV/AIDS Stigma Scale (HPASS) were collected from 234 nursing students attending a large, urban university in Long Beach, California. Results indicated that participants had an overall low to low-moderate level of HIV stigma, but a moderate level of stigma was noted on the stereotyping subscale. No significant differences were found between pre-licensure and post-licensure students. However, students who personally know or knew a person living with HIV/AIDS had a significantly lower level of stigma than those who did not.

Full textSilva, Pimentel Diane H. "Secondary Science Teachers' and Students' Beliefs about Engaging in Whole-Class Discussions." Thesis, Boston College, 2012. http://hdl.handle.net/2345/2927.
Full textReform movements in science education have repeatedly called for more dialogic and student-centered discussions during science lessons. The approach secondary science teachers take towards talk during whole-class discussions continues to be predominantly teacher-centered even when curriculum materials are designed to support a shift in discourse. This dissertation explores what factors may be influencing the approach that both teachers and students take towards whole-class discussions in order to understand why the type of talk that occurs in high school science lessons is not changing. In order to achieve a more comprehensive understanding of this issue, this dissertation made use of mixed methodology. To explore secondary science teachers' beliefs in general, responses to a statewide survey of science teachers (N=185) were analyzed statistically to investigate factors that were related to their efficacy beliefs about whole-class discussions, as well as their beliefs about the effectiveness of dialogic and authoritative approaches to bring about learning in students. Acknowledging that discursive interactions are context dependent, a case study of a high school chemistry teacher and her students (N=45) was also included which examined both the teacher's and her students' beliefs as well as how those beliefs manifested themselves during instruction. Findings suggest that although teachers believe that a dialogic approach to whole-class discussions is more important for student learning than an authoritative approach, lower self-efficacy for engaging in dialogic talk is related to limited opportunities teachers have to learn and recognize alternative strategies that can be used to shift talk during whole-class discussions. Furthermore, school and student characteristics may play a role in teachers' beliefs about the effectiveness of dialogic talk as an approach to learning science. The teachers' role is only one part of the interaction, however. This dissertation also shows that secondary students have beliefs and expectations about whole-class discussions that also influence the type of discourse that can occur. Changing the type of talk that occurs in high school science classes will require not only professional development about talk strategies for teachers, but also a shift in how students frame their role in discussions and the purpose of talk in learning science

Full texts judgments of their own abilities about a specific situation. The present study examined self-efficacy beliefs of senior students about using ESP (English for Specific Purposes) in their prospective careers. For this purpose, a new scale was developed by the researcher. The predictive power of certain variables (gender, English course grade, watching English language films, reading English language books, listening to English language songs) was investigated through multiple regression analysis. The study was conducted at a private university in Ankara and 303 senior students participated in the study. Exploratory factor analysis (EFA) was performed to determine the factor(s) in the questionnaire. EFA provided evidence for two factor solution and they were named as Academic Reading-Writing Skill (ARWS) and Academic Communication Skill (ACS). Cronbach&rsquo
s alpha coefficients of both ARWS and ACS scales were .97 for each which was a satisfactory result. The results of multiple regression analysis showed that the model of the combination of variables which were gender, reading English language books, watching English language films, listening to English language songs and English grade significantly predicted both ARWS and ACS scores of the participants. The variables which were reading English language books, watching English language films and English course grade significantly predicted both ARWS and ACS scores of the participants. Listening to English language songs predicted ACS scores but not ARWS scores. However, gender predicted neither of them.

Full textSpecific Aims: The purpose of this study was to assess the attitudes, beliefs and knowledge of pharmacy students regarding geriatric care. Methods: A questionnaire was administered to first, second and third year pharmacy students to assess the impact of geriatric curriculum on students at the University of Arizona College of Pharmacy. The primary grouping variable was whether or not students had previously taken a course focused on geriatrics. Main Results: A total of 193 pharmacy students completed the questionnaire which resulted in a response rate of 64.33%. There is no comparison group for the first year class as all students in this class had never taken a geriatric-focused course. Therefore, no tests for statistical significance could be performed for this class. Students in the second year class who have taken a geriatrics-focused course scored higher than those without course experience on all four of the attitude and beliefs questions (p = 0.104, p = 0.042, p = 0.045, p = 0.025). The same held true for the third year class (p = 0.006, p <0.001, p = 0.050, p = 0.653). Both classes showed a statistically significant increase in knowledge of geriatric care in those students who have previously taken a geriatrics-focused course (p = 0.032 for second years, p = 0.022 for third years). Conclusions: This study showed that pharmacy students at the University of Arizona College of Pharmacy who have previously taken a geriatrics- focused course have more positive attitudes and beliefs regarding geriatric care as well as a stronger knowledge base regarding geriatrics. With an aging population, it is important that pharmacists be knowledgeable and capable of caring for geriatric patients. Thus, we recommend that all pharmacy schools include a geriatrics-focused course as part of the standard curriculum for Pharm D. candidates.
