Master's Degrees (master + degree)
Selected AbstractsGraduate Research Completed in Family and Consumer Sciences During 2008FAMILY & CONSUMER SCIENCES RESEARCH JOURNAL, Issue 2 2009Bernice Dodor Contacts were made with 50 individuals at 35 colleges and universities during the spring of 2009 to gather information on the graduate research completed in Family and Consumer Sciences units during 2008. Nineteen institutions reported a total of 329 graduate research titles. During that same time, 2020 master's degrees and 377 doctor's degrees were granted in Family and Consumer Sciences according to data available from the National Center for Education Statistics. [source] Training psychologists in clinical psychopharmacologyJOURNAL OF CLINICAL PSYCHOLOGY, Issue 6 2002Ronald F. Levant This article first describes three types of psychopharmacology training programs for psychologists: 1. postdoctoral programs that award certificates and/or continuing education credit; 2. postdoctoral programs that award master's degrees in psychopharmacology; 3. a predoctoral program that awards joint psychology and nursing degrees. Next, the postdoctoral masters degree program at Nova Southeastern University is described in some detail. We close with some general comments about the current status of these training efforts. © 2002 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J Clin Psychol 58: 611,615, 2002. [source] Does Advanced Community/Public Health Nursing Practice Have a Future?PUBLIC HEALTH NURSING, Issue 5 2004Ed.D., Julie Fisher Robertson R.N. Abstract Societal trends and predicted needs of the health care system indicate that there will be increasing demands for health care professionals who can effectively manage the health needs of populations and communities. Nurses who have master's degrees in community/public health nursing have the educational background to provide this expertise. Although the Association of Community Health Nursing Educators and many nursing leaders maintain that these nurses are advanced practice nurses, most leading nursing organizations and state nurse practice acts do not include population and community health management skills in their definitions of advanced practice nursing. These exclusions have produced a serious status problem for master's programs in community/public health nursing. This article examines issues affecting the current and future status of master's-level community/public health nursing. Solutions are suggested for ensuring the viability of this specialty area. [source] Assessment of the importance of glenohumeral peripheral mechanics by practicing physiotherapistsPHYSIOTHERAPY RESEARCH INTERNATIONAL, Issue 3 2007Kenneth Kirby Abstract Background and Purpose.,Physiotherapists develop clinical reasoning theories and applied manual therapy skills through a variety of educational exposures. No studies have assessed the importance of selected theories such as the convex,concave rule, capsular pattern and scapulohumeral rhythm during clinical decision-making by physiotherapists. The present study investigated which variables physiotherapists considered were associated with the importance of these theories during practice and investigated physiotherapists' perception of translational motion biomechanics of the glenohumeral (GH) joint.,Method.,Six hundred and sixty physiotherapists in the USA volunteered to participate in this study. Using ologit regression analyses, the identifier themes and clinical background characteristics were associated with importance of peripheral biomechanics in manual therapy application and reliability/validity of the scapulohumeral rhythm theory in predicting pathological sequences of the shoulder complex. An intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC) was used to determine agreement regarding necessary translation of the GH joint for normal movement.,Results.,The majority of physiotherapists indicated that all theories were important or very important during treatment decision-making and reported frequent utilization. Regression models identified that the importance placed on peripheral biomechanics was negatively influenced by academic qualification (bachelors and masters degrees) and gender (men were less likely to report that scapulohumeral rhythm was a reliable/valid predictor of shoulder pathology). ICC values identified excellent agreement among clinicians regarding translational motion.,Conclusions.,The importance of biomechanics of the periphery for use, validation and frequency was based heavily on adoption of selected theories of glenohumeral movements despite evidence that suggests the theories lack validity.
