    This study was researched to analize developments of the maternal-consciousness in the students of a nursing collage.
    The questionnaire of previous papers already published in 1990 was used.
    These data, 1989 and 1990 were compared by years, classes, and substances.
    The data of the questionnaire were showed that there was a very high correlation and repetition of same answer in 1989 and 1990. But also there were some differences between years, classes, and substances. It was suggested developing change stepping up year by year.
    From the results of the factor analysis, six factors were picked up. We can name as same as last time, 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 character, and hesitative factor for labor and bearing. But the order of the factors were defferent between 1989 and 1990.
    These results suggested that developmental changes of materal-consciousness of this ages were obtained by student's profile, studying the maternal nursing and experience of taking care for pregnant woman, childbirth, and newborn baby.

    The aim of this study was to investigate psychologically changing process longitudinally from the time of visiting clinic for examination to 3 years after surgery of Mastectomy Patients.
    25 consecutive mastectomy patients were surveyed: their anxiety level by STAI ; feelings and anxiety contents by semi-structured questionnaire ; and objective data about their physical status and treatments by their patient's record.
    The highest anxiety score was at the clinic phase, which went down on after surgery with significant difference. Most of their concerns before surgery were about their families and surgery. After surgery, they changed into that of disease with different degrees by age. Especially after discharge, they were focused on the disease, recurrence, and metastasis.
    Concerning about their feelings for the loss of breast, most of patients expressed "resignation" at discharge, and after discharge accepted it with "resignation" and "unconcern". Their attitude to life after surgery changed positively through their great experience.

    The purpose of this study was to investigate the actual state of a Social Support Network (SSN) in mastectomy patients, and to assess longitudinally its influences on them through breast-lossing.
    The subjects were 25 cases mastectomy patients aged from 29 to 73 years. Norbeck Social Support Questionaire (NSSQ), STAI, and semi-structured questionnaire were applied at the important phases from pre-surgery phase to 3 years after surgery.
    The results were the following:
    1. Social Network (SN) size was small with 6.2 at pre-admission phase and 8.7 at 3 years after surgery. The most of support provider were their family and relatives, and then their doctor as a medical profession.
    2. In the patients havig large size of SN at the phases of pre-admission, the A-stae and A-trait scores showed a tendency of low grade during post-surgery phases until 3 monthes after surgery.
    3. SN size 3 years after surgery was larger than that of pre-admission, but the support from each member became less. The patients who had increased of SN size 3 years after surgery than that of pre-admission showed a tendency to be high A-trait score.
    Thus, it was shown that SSN have an effective influence for the patient's recovery from operative stress and anxiety until 3 monthes after surgery. From the data at 3 years after the surgery, it was suggested that frequent and high quality of support resource is important to relieve the anxiety, even though its size being small.

  • -Distribution of Pain Points on Deltoid Muscle-, Anterior Cubital- and Dorsum of Hand-Regions-

    Pain threshold of skin in deltoid muscle-, anterior cubital- and dorsum of handregions which were usually used for injection was tested by stimulation of pain points in 4mm2 width of each area with tungsten wire (140μm in diameter) added 3-4g pressure.
    Eighty-eight healthy students (27 males and 61 females, aged 18-37) were selected for this study. The pain sensation in this study contained both of prick and dull pain. It was ascertained that the number of prick pain points paralleled that of both pain points in the same area. Total number of pain points of skin in the deltoid muscle area was 9.1±5.0/4mm2 in male and 10.7±4.4/4mm2 in female. In the anterior cubital area, it was 11.0±4.1/4mm2 in male and 12.1±3.3/4mm2 in female. In the area of dorsal hand, it was 7.6±4.7/4mm2 in male and 10.2±4.2/4mm2 in female.
    From these results, it could be concluded that pain threshold was significantly high in the area of dorsal hand, and female's pain threshold of skin was lower than that of male. Different mechanisms of biological or psychological influence on the threshold of pain sensation were also discussed.
    It is suggested that nurses should have a recognition of low threshold of cutaneous pain in young adult females and select the dorsum of hand for venous injection or blood sampling.

    In order to evaluate the effect of three kinds of nursing analgesic techniques on pain sensation in dorsum of hand, distributions of the sensory point in the area was tested. Eighty-eight healthy students (27 males and 61 females, aged 18-37) were selected for this experiment. Distribution of the sensory point was determined by skin stimulation with thin tungsten wire (140μm in diameter).
    During rubbing of contralateral dorsal hand, pain points decreased 48.1% in male and 60.7% in female, while those increased 48.1% in male and 32.7% in female. When ipsilateral dorsum of hand was warmed by hot towel, pain points reduced remarkably (77.8% in male and 85.2% in female), and so were during cooling by cold bag and towel (85.2% in male and 91.8% in female).
    From these results, it is concluded that hot and cold compresses are significantly effective for injected pain, while so is rubbing in some subjects. The biological and psychological mechanisms of the nursing analgesia was discussed.

    The purpose of this study is to analize the relation between CAS-test and the consciousness to psychosis of the students in a nursing colledge. subjects of this study were 232 students, who have no knowledge about psychosis. We researched by free description on a report, factor analysis yielded 6 factors. The relation between the result of CAS-test and the factors were investigated.
    The results were as follows.
    1. The variables of CAS-test related to the consciousness, showing the curve in the factor Space.
    2. The students with high score of the anxiety state didn't indicate the consciousness of dislike and sympathy and they guard with prudent attitude towards the psychiatric nursing system.
    3. The students who showed the consciousness of dislike and sympathy towards the pychic people were ego-matured and with stable sentiment, believability of persons and being self-controling and adaptable.
    4. The students who didn't describe the consciousness of real image were apt to have high tention by impulse, so that we ascertained that if the students can obtain a real image by education, their tension by impulse will be reduced.

    The purpose of this study is to examine measurement errors of blood pressure that were influenced by instructing the Accuracy Factor of Cognitive Style.
    Subjects were 79 students from the School-Nurse Course, Faculty of Education, Hirosaki University.
    They were classified by the result of the MFF test into the accurate performance group and the inaccurate performance group, and the half of each group was instructed their own level of Accuracy Factor of the experimental result. The remainders of each group were not instructed.
    Differences between the values of the blood pressure measured by the subjects using the stethoscope and the values recorded by "Pulse Wave and Korotkoff Sound Recorder" were determind as the measurement errors of this research.
    The results were as follows:
    1. Instruction of their own level of Accuracy Factor was effective to reduce measurement error, especially by measuring the systolic pressure by Accurate group, and the diastolic pressure by Inaccurate group.
    2. The non-instructed subjects of Accurate group had enhanced measurement errors such as errors over 11mmHg by measuring the systolic pressure than the instructed subjects.
    3. The instructed subjects seemed to measure the systolic pressure more exactly than non-instructed subjects.
