“…True-experimental design would be the suitable design for the nature of this study, to quantify the cause and effect relationship among the dependent (predictor) and independent (outcome) variables (Sousa, Driessnack & Mendes, 2007). To comply true-experimental design, the researchers assigned two research groups by selecting Posttest Only Control Group, which is a type of experimental design.…”

The present study intended to investigate the effect of utilizing Learning Management System (LMS), Blackboard® on enhancing English as a Foreign Language (EFL) female students' satisfaction in the Saudi context. It is found that the effectiveness of utilizing the supplementary materials on Blackboard® is leading up to EFL students' satisfaction. Since, Blended Learning (BL) model could stimulate a classroom setting with activities that are carried out under flexible and engaging manner. The sample consisted of ninety-eight students from proficiency level -104. The data of the study was collected using a questionnaire to identify students' level of satisfaction. The results revealed that students' satisfaction was apparent as their positive responses outweighed their negative responses mainly in terms of richness of learning resources, opportunity to interact in foreign language, appropriateness and variety of content, and ease of using Blackboard®. Based on the results, the study recommends considering the positive assets and challenges to plan the future of both teaching and learning English language effectively. The study suggested several areas to be investigated in the future such as examining the motivational behavior of both the teachers and the students and finding out the factors that will affect the environment of BL in EFL.

Objective: With increasing demands to provide a cost efficient nursing service, changes to nursing skill mix are being implemented globally. Team nursing as a model of care is seen as a way to address both patient care and safety issues. The aim of this study was to explore job satisfaction (JS) and stress outcomes of nursing staff when introducing team nursing as model of care within the Australian healthcare environment. Methods: An experimental study was utilised. Nursing staff (n = 63) were surveyed, using the Person Centred Nursing Index (PCNI) tool, prior to the implementation of a team nursing model of care and then again six months post implementation of the model (n = 64). Data was analysed to determine if there was a statistically significant difference in the average theme between pre and post surveys. Results: Nursing stress (NS) was reduced and JS was increased post implementation of the new model of care. JS and organisational traits, JS and work stress (WS), were positively related and increased post implementation. WS and nursing care (NC), organisational traits and NC were positively related but showed no statistically significant change after the implementation. This study demonstrated that in introducing a new model of care, levels of stress staff increased yet unexpectedly JS also improved. Conclusions: Decisions to adopt team nursing as the model of care should be based on a broad range of considerations not simply on fiscal considerations and should include staff readiness, staff mix and supportive measures to introduce a changed model of care.

RESUmoEstudo quase-experimental com objetivo de avaliar a qualidade de vida relacionada à saúde de pessoas com diabetes mellitus, antes e após participação em um programa educativo de cinco meses. Participaram 51 sujeitos, com predomínio do sexo feminino (56,9%), média e desvio-padrão de 57,65 ± 11,44 anos de idade, em um serviço de atenção primária no interior paulista, em 2008. Para obtenção dos dados utilizou-se o questionário SF-36. O instrumento mostrou-se confiável para a população estudada, sendo os valores de alpha de Cronbach para os componentes físico e mental 0,83 e 0,89, respectivamente. Os resultados mostraram melhora discreta em quase todos os domínios, embora apenas o estado geral de saúde antes (63,96 ± 19,03) e após (70,59 ± 17,82) o programa educativo tenha apresentado diferença estatisticamente significativa t(50) = -2,16, p < 0,05. A participação dos sujeitos no programa educativo em diabetes mellitus também contribuiu para a melhoria da percepção acerca de seu estado geral de saúde.
