Evaluations of After-School Programs: A Meta-Evaluation of Methodologies and Narrative Synthesis of Findings
Funding for after-school programs has increased dramatically, and there has been a corresponding increase in the need for sound evaluations to document the quality and impact of the programs. A comprehensive search for after-school evaluations was completed in order to conduct a meta-evaluation of evaluation methodologies used and to synthesize the findings of the evaluations. Results of the meta-evaluation indicate that the after-school evaluati…
An Objective Counterpart to the Visual Scree Test for Factor Analysis: The Standard Error Scree
Many methods have been suggested for determining the number of factors in factor analysis solutions, most of them trying to match visual solutions. Presented here is a linear regression approach providing objectivity while producing the same results as the visual scree test. The standard error scree is based on the standard error of estimate for a set of points in the plot of eigenvalues. The number of factors to retain corresponds to the point w…
Relationships among Burnout, Death Anxiety, and Social Support in Hospice and Critical Care Nurses
The present study was undertaken to compare the occupational stress, levels of burnout, death anxiety, and the social support of a national sample of 376 hospice and critical care nurses, t tests indicated that critical care nurses reported significantly more occupational stress, showed higher burnout, and experienced more death anxiety than hospice nurses. The two nursing groups differed significantly when the three components of the Maslach Bur…
Preschool Children's Attitudes toward Health Risk Behaviors
The development of attitudes toward health and the practice of health-related behaviors begins at an early age. This includes positive atutudes, such as seeing the need for safety belts when riding in a car, as well as negative attitudes such as the preference for junk food over more nutritious choices. Since changing negative health attitudes and behaviors is more o!ifficult than establ~shing positive attitudes and behaviors, the importance of b…
Prediction of Attrition from a Therapeutic Community
This project attempted to identify potential dropouts from a therapeutic community utilizing results from the Personal Orientation Inventory. It was hypothesized that the higher the Personal Orientation Inventory score, the sooner the resident would drop out of the program. It was also hypothesized that the scales would be better predictors of length of stay than the demographic variables traditionally gathered in such programs. The Personal Orie…
