Abstract/Description
This study describes the experiences of nursing students with disabilities through interviews, observations, and document analysis. The sample included five current students and five graduate nurses with physical or auditory impairments and 61 nursing faculty members, staff members, patients, and fellow students. The Colaizzi (1978) method of data analysis was modified to include additional information from interviews, observations, and documents. The findings revealed important concerns...
Show moreThis study describes the experiences of nursing students with disabilities through interviews, observations, and document analysis. The sample included five current students and five graduate nurses with physical or auditory impairments and 61 nursing faculty members, staff members, patients, and fellow students. The Colaizzi (1978) method of data analysis was modified to include additional information from interviews, observations, and documents. The findings revealed important concerns related to potentially unsafe nursing practice. The findings should assist nursing faculty with admission and retention decisions and development of reasonable accommodations. Recommendations for nursing programs to develop enforceable guidelines for admission and state regulatory boards of nursing to consider licensure with practice limitations are included.

GRIT IN ADULT STUDENTS WITH DISABILITIES: A MULTIPLE-CASE STUDY
Title
GRIT IN ADULT STUDENTS WITH DISABILITIES: A MULTIPLE-CASE STUDY.
Creator
Kamburov, Teodora, Sembiante, Sabrina F., Florida Atlantic University, Department of Curriculum, Culture, and Educational Inquiry, College of Education
Abstract/Description
This multiple-case study sought to understand how adult students with disabilities demonstrate grit in the pursuit of higher education. Through in-depth, semi-structured interviews, this study found that adult students with disabilities demonstrate grit through seeking to understand their own disabilities and the impacts of those disabilities on their academics, finding solutions-based approaches in improving their academic skills, persevering through various forms of sacrifice, “pushing...
Show moreThis multiple-case study sought to understand how adult students with disabilities demonstrate grit in the pursuit of higher education. Through in-depth, semi-structured interviews, this study found that adult students with disabilities demonstrate grit through seeking to understand their own disabilities and the impacts of those disabilities on their academics, finding solutions-based approaches in improving their academic skills, persevering through various forms of sacrifice, “pushing through,” and practice, seeking help from their support networks, and maintaining consistent interests in their courses of study while also keeping a greater purpose in mind. These findings are discussed in detail and implications for practice as well as future research are identified.

Abstract/Description
This study is directed at the compilation of materials, ideals, and developments which resulted from the federally funded program entitled, "Moving On to Enrollment and Completion of Junior College" (MOTEC-JC). The purpose of this investigation is to identify specific aspects of raw data obtained through the research and training program of MOTEC-JC and to analyze through descriptive procedures such selected evidence with the intention of providing a complete history of the origin,...
Show moreThis study is directed at the compilation of materials, ideals, and developments which resulted from the federally funded program entitled, "Moving On to Enrollment and Completion of Junior College" (MOTEC-JC). The purpose of this investigation is to identify specific aspects of raw data obtained through the research and training program of MOTEC-JC and to analyze through descriptive procedures such selected evidence with the intention of providing a complete history of the origin, development, and administrative instructional purpose of MOTEC-JC at Florida Atlantic University. The significance of this study lies in the inherent value of the compilation of a single historical journal as the record of a movement which may be used to generate interest and guidance in the future development of programs for low-income and minority students at community junior colleges. Long-range research beyond the limits of the present investigation may finally answer general questions of future program initiation and survival. Of primary concern here is the evident need for the documentation of the materials, ideas, and developments which resulted from the federally funded research-action project designed to recruit, enroll, and educate low-income and minority groups in community colleges. Consequently, the formation of a plan proposing a number of follow-up studies should serve as a model for measuring the impact of MOTEC-JC's activities on community junior colleges projected for a twenty-five year period. The present study projects a five year model which should be revised and amplified at succeeding intervals. The twenty-five year projection is necessary because by that time MOTEC-JC participants will either have made their major contribution or completed their professional careers. Such long-range evaluation has been noticeably lacking in American education. This dissertation is a first step toward implementing this logical and needed approach to action research.
