The experience of feeling that you belong.
Creator
Forrest, James Albert., Florida Atlantic University, Kelley, Lois
Abstract/Description
The purpose of this study was to uncover the structure of the common lived experience of health of "the experience of feeling that you belong", using Parse's research methodology. The nursing perspective for this study is that of Parse's nursing theory of human becoming. The researcher used the processes of the methodology, participant selection, dialogical engagement, extraction-synthesis, and heuristic interpretation to evolve the structure of the lived experience of health: The experience...
Show moreThe purpose of this study was to uncover the structure of the common lived experience of health of "the experience of feeling that you belong", using Parse's research methodology. The nursing perspective for this study is that of Parse's nursing theory of human becoming. The researcher used the processes of the methodology, participant selection, dialogical engagement, extraction-synthesis, and heuristic interpretation to evolve the structure of the lived experience of health: The experience of feeling that you belong. The structure of the experience of feeling that you belong, discovered in this research with four participants, is prizing equivalent differences while illuminating light within the darkness and discovering fullness of self in community. This study demonstrates Parse's research methodology and expands the knowledge base of nursing.

comparison of the Boston Naming Test and Miami Naming Test in an Afro-Caribbean population over the age of 55
Title
A comparison of the Boston Naming Test and Miami Naming Test in an Afro-Caribbean population over the age of 55.
Creator
Keane, Florence., Florida Atlantic University, Tappen, Ruth M.
Abstract/Description
The Boston Naming Test (60 items) and the newly developed Miami Naming Test (76 items) are designed to assess naming deficits and word-retrieval capacities. These two tests were compared in a sample of 106 Afro-Caribbean elders. Analysis included inter-rater, test-retest reliability and internal consistency using Cronbach's alpha. The correlation between the scores of both raters on the Boston Naming Test was r=.9974 and r=.9984 on the Miami Naming Test. The test-retest reliability scores...
Show moreThe Boston Naming Test (60 items) and the newly developed Miami Naming Test (76 items) are designed to assess naming deficits and word-retrieval capacities. These two tests were compared in a sample of 106 Afro-Caribbean elders. Analysis included inter-rater, test-retest reliability and internal consistency using Cronbach's alpha. The correlation between the scores of both raters on the Boston Naming Test was r=.9974 and r=.9984 on the Miami Naming Test. The test-retest reliability scores were r=.936 for the Boston Naming Test and r=.931 for the Miami Naming Test. The alpha level for the Miami Naming Test was .95 and the Boston Naming Test was .94. The individual items for both tests were evaluated for their level of difficulty and the scores on the Miami Naming Test were compared to the Boston Naming Test and the Mini Mental State Exam results. Results indicated acceptable levels of reliability for both the Boston Naming Test and the Miami Naming Test. This study shed light on which items should be replaced or deleted and future directions for research on assessment of dementia on older adults of Afro-Caribbean background. This study was supported by Minority Supplement grant #NR07744-01 and was guided by design of the parent grant Culture Bias in Expressive Ability in Dementia funded by the National Institute of Nursing research.
