This paper discusses assessing students' attitudes and how this is essential to the process of teaching about heterosexism. Other pedagogical i…

Nursing staff rated the manifestations of agitation and the characteristics of sleep in 408 nursing home residents. In addition, level of cognitive impairment was independently rated by nurses and social workers. Multiple regressions revealed that both sleep disturbances and cognitive impairment were important variables for explaining agitated behaviors. Moreover, the practice of awakening residents during the night for toileting was found to be …
Agitation and Touch in the Nursing Home
The relationship between manifestations of agitated behaviors and interpersonal distance was examined in 24 nursing home residents with high agitation and severe cognitive impairment. Analysis indicated that agitated residents displayed divergent responses to touch: touch was related to an increase in aggressive behaviors and to a decrease in physically nonaggressive behaviors (e.g., strange movements). The positive relationship between aggressiv…
