Complaints of continuous spine position for two hours was observed with 90 of healthy youth. During this position, body pressure and two-point discrimination of dermal sensation were measured. Correlation between the complaints and these measured value was evaluated.
1.　Complaints were appeared in early stage of spine position and most of them was appeared within 30 minutes. After this point, complaints decreased gradually.
2.　Complaints were recognized in lower limbs, hip and calcaneal region, in where the body pressure being high value. On the other hand. restained feeling by the restricted movement was also frequent.
3.　Paresthesia (numb) was appeared in comparative early stage and pain was in later. These complaints were more often other complaints.
4.　Two-point test of dermal sensation was short in the area of high body pressure. Especially, the distance of two-point was shortest (10±4 mm) in calcaneal region. There was negative corelation between the distance of two point test and the frequency of complaint.
5.　From these results, it is important to notice the complaints in early stage and the appearance of numb in order to arrange the timing of exchanging the position.

It is an object of this Reserch to investigate the actualstate of nursing research taking into ethical consideration.
In order to achive object, the questionnaires were filld out by seven hundred (700) nurses (hereinafter refered to as "inquired nurses of this this Reserch") who work at hospitals and nures' and nures midwives' schools.
The collection rate was at 70.7%. the result of the above questionnaire is as follows:
1)　96.1% of inquired nurses of this Research had an experience of research. It shows that the cooperative research is frequently performed.
2)　The most of research methods by this inquired nurses of this Research were occupied by case-study and investigating Research. The majority of the inquired persons about the research of the inquired nurses of this Research (hereinafter refered to as "inquired persons") was the inpatients, and the adult and aged persons who had a clear consciousness.
3)　On the acceptance of the qoestionnaires, 90% or more of the inquired nurses of this Reaesarch answered that it was "excellent", "good" or "orinary", When requesting the 42% of inquired nurses of this Rsearch obtained the acceptance of the inquired persons and 38% answered that it was "unnecessary".
4)　As for the careful consideration to the inquired persons when investigating, a lot of inquired nurses of this Rsearch answered that they desired to take care of the selection of words "consent", "privacy", "confort".

The purpose of this study is to examine the relation between cognitive style and measurement error of blood pressure. Subjects were 117 students from School-nursing course, Faculty of Education, Hirosaki University.
Subjects were classfied into 4 groups on the basis of their reaction times and errors in Matching Familiar Figures test. "FA" group has fast reaction time and accurate performance, "FI" group has fast and inaccurate reaction, "SA" group has slow and accurate reaction, and "SI" group has slow and inaccurate reaction.
Measurement error was obtained from the difference between stethoscopy and "Pulse Wave and Korotkoff Sound recorder" (automatic sphygmomanometer).
The results were as follows:
1.　Measurement error of both Inaccurate groups was larger than both Accurate groups in systolic pressure, and the error of both Fast groups was larger than both Slow groups in diastolic pressure. Therefore, it was concluded that measurement error by FI group seemed to be larger than by SA group.
2.　Measurement error of systolic pressure was larger than diastolic presure in all groups.
3.　Compared with values obtained by the recorder, every group overestimated both the systolic and diastolic pressures. FA group in systolic pressure and SI group in diastolic pressure had more deviation in decision than the other groups.
4.　Measurement error of systolic pressure was large in overestimation and small in underestimation in comparison with recorder-measured values.

This studies researched to analize the factors of maternal consciousness to the labor and bearing of the students in a nursing colledge.
Questionnaire was established to evaluate the consciousness. From the data of the questionnaire, six faotors were picked up by factor analysis, such as affirmative factor for labor and bearing, theoretically affirmative but really hesitative factor for labor, affirmative factor of becoming mother, affirmative factor to children, affirmative factor to female charactor, and hesitative factor for labor and bearing.
Factor scores were compared by the students'profile, such as profile of parents'existance, mother's occupation, number of sisters and brothers, experience caring for children, motivation to enter the nursing colledge, health-consciousness. These results suggested that nursing students seemed to be on the way of development of the maternal consciousness, mixing the affirmative as well as hesitative consciousness to the labor and bearing. The relations among them were observed by students'profile.
