A study of the influence of the socieconomic background of the nursing student on attitude toward selected nursing activities

Thesis (M.S.)--Boston UniversityThis study was undertaken to determine the influence of socio-economic background of nursing students upon attitude toward selected nursing activities. The review of literature suggested that there may be a relationship between socio-economic background and student attitudes. The sample chosen for study was composed of fifteen junior students in a medical-surgical nursing class of a basic collegiate school of nursing. A tool was developed to elicit attitudes about twenty-seven commonly performed nursing activities.

This information was analyzed in relation to the students' expressed attitudes toward the selected nursing activities [TRUNCATED
