Case managers and ethical decision making
In a descriptive study, Lutzen’s Moral Sensitivity Questionnaire (MSQ) was used to describe nurse case managers’ perception of ethical decision making. Both community-based and hospital-based case managers responded. Research questions addressed (a) relationship between respondent’s age and patient autonomy and between length of experience as case manager and benevolence; and (b) difference in conflict in ethical decision-making by level of education and difference in rules in ethical decision-making by type of setting. No significant correlations were found between the respondent age and patient autonomy nor between the respondents’ length of experience as case manager and benevolence. There was a statistically significant difference in perception of conflict by educational level. Difference in rules in ethical decision making by type of setting approached statistical significance.

A quasi-phenomenological exploration of the engaged reading experience in bibliophilic children
Reading practice has consistently been shown to be of value in acquiring literacy and in developing mature reading skills. Because of the centrality of practice to reading development, finding ways to motivate individuals to read is among the primary challenges of reading research. Some individuals spend considerable leisure time reading independently because they find it rewarding. The project described below was designed to discover the nature of that kind of reading experience and particularly those aspects of the experience which render it rewarding. Data were collected from 13 North Carolina school children, ages 11 to 13, who were identified by parents and/or teachers as able, enthusiastic (bibliophilic) readers. Data were also collected from one or both of the children's parents. Each child participated in a tape-recorded qualitative interview conducted by the investigator concerning his/her most rewarding reading experiences. The parents were interviewed by the investigator regarding landmark events in their children's lives with emphasis on the children's reading histories. Transcripts of the children's interviews were subjected to a four-process qualitative analysis. Written summaries of the parents interviews were reviewed as the analysis progressed. It was found that the primary factor motivating bibliophilic behavior was a kind of aesthetic fugue which the investigator labeled engagement. The children reported reading in order to achieve the engaged state, a type of alternative consciousness which occurred when they became sufficiently engrossed in the text to lose their awareness of the concrete, temporal world around them and become immersed in an internal book-world produced by the interaction of text and reader. Engagement occurred only in the presence of certain enabling conditions: (1) intense curiosity about unfolding story events, (2) strong sensory images, (3) identification with characters, (4) a compelling story, and (5) a quite, distraction-free environment. It was found that the children sought out the engaged state as a means of escape from psychological discomfort--boredom, loneliness, anxiety, or anger. It was concluded that affective factors play an important role in reading motivation. The findings suggest that schools can design materials, environments, and experiences which foster engagement. By doing so, educators may increase reading motivation and ability.
Dissertation
DON'T PLAY GOD
ROBERT BROWNING, if you remember, wrote these lines about a man who deliberately lured a woman away from his best friend. He did it with most excellent intentions. The woman was light and wanton and inconstant. \"... I saw him tangled in her toils. A shame, said I, if she adds just him to her nine-and-ninety other spoils.\" Perhaps it was a shame, but the result...
