Research paper thumbnail of Applying the Mims-Swensonsexual health model to nurse education: offering an alternative focus on sexuality and health care

Nurse Education Today, Aug 1, 1998

Several recent publications have documented the existence of negative attitudes towards lesbians,... more Several recent publications have documented the existence of negative attitudes towards lesbians, gay men and bisexual men and women among health care professionals. It has been demonstrated that these negative attitudes predate the advent of HIV/AIDS, and are ingrained in medical and nursing education. Research has shown that, within the hospital environment, negative attitudes towards homosexuality may be directly translated into the medical and nursing care provided for lesbian, gay and bisexual clients. In this article, studies focusing on the attitudes of health care professionals towards homosexuality and bisexuality are examined, and their implications are discussed with reference to the future of nursing education.

Research paper thumbnail of Retrospective reports of school bullying: Stability of recall and its implications for research

British Journal of Development Psychology, Mar 1, 2001

Three particular types of recollection were explored: (1) age factors and calendar reference points, (2) incident or event recall, and (3) recall for peripheral factors (e.g. ramifications and consequences). The results suggested that participants were able to recall key events in their lives and place them within a general chronology which was not found to vary greatly across the 12-14-month period. They were also able to recall specific types of bullying occurring in specific locations with relative constancy. However, recollections of subsequent outcomes (e.g. telling a teacher) were recalled less well. It is argued that this study lends some support to the idea that retrospective studies have a role to play in applied research and that memory stability may be a useful indicator of reliability where prospective studies are difficult to conduct. However, they should not be seen as an alternative to longitudinal research.
