“…The results of this study confirm those of previous ‘intention to use studies’ (Hogan & Hogan 1982, Smith & Shamansky 1983, Shamansky et al. 1984, Holbrook & Shamansky 1985) that the attributes of an innovation were the most statistically significant variables in predicting parents’ intention to use NP services.…”

“…Therefore, to determine parental intention to use NP services, further research is necessary. Five of the previous studies involved NPs who were providing independent services (Pender & Pender 1980, Smith & Shamansky 1983, Shamansky et al. 1984, Holbrook & Shamansky 1985, Schilling et al.…”

“…The fourth part of the questionnaire, entitled the Paediatric Nurse Practitioner: Attributes of Innovation Scale, used a 10‐point Likert‐type scale to gather data based on the five attributes of an innovation described by Rogers (1995) Diffusion of Innovation Theory. The questions were designed to reflect the NP as the innovation and were adapted from Rogers’ theory and those used by Ostlund (1974), Hogan and Hogan (1982), Smith and Shamansky (1983), Shamansky et al (1984) and Schilling et al. (1985).…”

The public does not seem to understand fully the scope of nursing practice, and this is a concern if people are to feel comfortable with expanded roles for nurses. Thus, the public should be given information that not only describes the role of nurse practitioners, but also includes facts about the scope of practice of Registered Nurses as this may be helpful in producing a favourable attitude towards nurse practitioner care.

“…In conclusion, although several previous investigators (Armer, 1993;Edmunds, 1978;Murphy & Erickson, 1995;Smith & Shamansky, 1983;) had explored satisfaction with NP services, no studies could be found in which predictors of successful introduction or acceptance of NPs into rural communities were explored. In fact, Zikmund & Miller (1979) and Andersen (1995), found that simply making health care available through an NP or PA does not guarantee use of services.…”

Higher‐order factor analysis of an instrument with dichotomous data

This article reports the use of higher-order factor analysis to examine the underlying dimensions of an instrument designed to measure community acceptance of nurse practitioners/physician's assistants. The instrument consisted of both dichotomous and Likert scale items. Use of factor analysis with dichotomous data is controversial. Higher-order factor analysis provides a potential solution to this dilemma. Following initial factor analysis using maximum likelihood extraction with oblique rotation, the factor correlation matrix was factored to obtain second order factors. The second order factors were interpreted using the factor pattern matrix and examining correlations of individual survey items with the second order factors. This procedure provides additional factorial validity of the underlying uni- and multidimensional concepts related to acceptance of NPs and PAs in rural settings: knowledge, competence, access, and trust.

“…Nurses have become involved in marketing, e.g., in evaluating the market for family nurse practitioner care (Smith & Shamansky, 1983) and marketing hospital care (Chaney, 1987;Sonstegard, 1988). In interactions with health care consumers, which are usually not planned as marketing opportunities, public health nurses (PHNs) are often in a position to market health department services.…”

Low birth weight (LBW) contributes to infant mortality and continues to be a public health concern in the United States. A community-based prenatal program was established to prevent low birth weight through early and continuous prenatal care. Two key dimensions of the program were marketing and the use of volunteer neighborhood outreach workers. This paper explores the role of the program's public health nurses in relation to these dimensions and makes recommendations regarding marketing and use of outreach workers.
