The Individual

In this ethnographic study, nurses clearly described their beliefs, values, and experiences related to assessing pain in nursing home residents. These were affected by (a) the nurse’s perception of the role, (b) the resident’s ability to verbalize his or her pain, and (c) the nurse’s skill in identifying behavioral cues including nonverbal pain communications such as agitation or change in functional status. Knowledge of the individual resident was crucial; knowledge of the field of geriatric nursing was also important. Characteristics of the setting including formal and informal job expectations and the use of temporary nursing staff influenced practice.

The Relationship

Locus of control (LOC) has been studied as a parameter for personality assessment since its development in 1966. Several studies of the correlation of LOC with such theological components as faith and spirituality have been reported with varying conclusions regarding the relationship of these concepts. However, the question of how theological issues are assessed within the Levenson LOC scale and assessment of the applicability of this instrument to the lives of older adults, as interpreted by members of this population, has not been addressed. This study investigates those two aspects of the Levenson LOC scale and offers suggestions of how these preliminary findings might be applied in counseling this population.
