A pre-test/post-test control group design with 60 participants was used to examine the subjective feelings of timelessness, motion, boundary lessness, transcendence, and increased imagination experienced during pleasant guided imagery within Martha Rogers' science of unitary human beings. Two hypotheses were derived from Rogers' principle of reso nancy, which describes "the continuous change from lower to higher wave frequency patterns in the human and environmental fields." Pleas ant guided imagery was postulated to pattern the human energy field from a lower toward a higher wave frequency pattern. The hypotheses tested in this study were (a) participants experiencing an 11-minute pleasant guided imagery tape will have significantly lower time metaphor test scores than participants experiencing an 11-minute educational tape and, (b) participants experiencing pleasant guided imagery will have significantly higher human field motion tool scores than participants experiencing the educational tape. Lower time metaphor test scores and higher human field motion tool scores reflect a higher wave frequency pattern of the human energy field. A significant treatment by trials interaction effect (F = 4.358; df = 1/118; p < 0.05) provided support for the first hypothesis. The second hypothesis was not supported. On the basis of a factor analysis, the validity of the human field motion tool is questioned. The findings suggest that Rogers' principle of resonancy may provide an explanation of the subjective feelings experienced during pleasant guided imagery.

Background: The anxiety level of clients who will undergo major surgery is very influential on the smooth operation of the operation to be carried out. Actions of a nurse to overcome the anxiety that occurs on the client pre-operation are needed to be able to resolve the issue. Objective: This study aimed to look at changes in the patient’s anxiety level after guided imagery and music performed by nurses before the surgery performed. Methods: The research was used quasi-experimental with pretest-posttest control group design, sample collected used Quota Sampling method with total 38 sample divided into two group, the instrument of measuring the anxiety levelused(HARS-A)scale,whichthestatistictestusedWilcoxonSignedRankTestand Mann-Withney. Result: There was a decrease in the value of anxiety in the group given guided imagery and music with an average value of 7.50 (p-value:0.000), whereas there was a tendency to increase the value of anxiety in the control group with an average value of 6.00 (p-value:0.083). There were significant differences in the mean value between the intervention groups (14.03) and the control group (24.97) with p-value 0.001. Conclusion: Giving stimuli in the form of guided relaxation techniques can help reduce the level of anxiety in clients who will undergo surgery because it can help clients to distract their anxiety towards the operation process to other things of beautiful nature. The addition of music as one of the image transformation media can strengthen relaxation guidance to be able to reach the maximum level of relaxation that will have an impact on the ability to reduce their anxiety level

Latar Belakang : Kemoterapi  membuat pasien yang didiagnosa menderita kanker memiliki perasaan gelisah, cemas dan takut akan bayang-bayang kematian yang menghantui setiap saat. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui Pengaruh Spiritual Guided imagery and music (SGIM) terhadap kecemasan pasien kanker yang menjalani kemoterapi. Metode : Jenis Penelitiani ini adalah  Quasi experimental dengan rancangan one group pre and post test with control group design. Penelitian  dilaksanakan diruangan kemoterapi pada 30 pasien yang mendapatkan terapi SGIM dan 30 sebagai kelompok kontrol.  Skore kecemasan  diukur sebanyak 3 kali yaitu 1 hari  dan 30 menit sebelum kemoterapi serta 1 hari setelah kemoterapi. Kecemasan diukur menggunakaan skala HARS. Data dianalsisi dengan uji GLM repeated mesure dengan bantun SPSS 21. Hasil : sebanyak   73,3 % dan  26,7 pasien memiliki kecemasan berat dan sedang  saat pre test    menjadi kecemasan  sedang (56,7%) dan kecemasan ringan   (43,3%) pada pengukuran 30 menit sebelum kemoterapi dan pada akhir pengukuran berada pada kecemasan ringan (63,4 %) dan tidak ada kecemasan (33,3 %) dan  sisanya 3,3 % masih mengalami kecemasan berat pada kelompok SGIM.  Analisis uji GLM repeated measure post hock banferoni diketahui p value = 0,001, dengan nilai r square =0,29. Hal ini menunjukan ada pengaruh SGIM terhadap penurunan kecemasan pasien kanker yang menjalani kemoterapi dengan besar sumbangan   pengaruh sebesar 29% sisanya dipengaruhi variabel yang lain. Kesimpulan : Pemberian Terapi SGIM menurunkan  kecemasan pasien kanker yang menjalani kemoterapi. Rekomendasi penelitian adalah SGIM dapat diaplikasikan sebagai salah satu terapi  komplementer dalam pemberian intervensi keperawatan di rumah sakit untuk menurunkan kecemaasan  pasien terutama pada saat pertama kali melakukan kemoterapi. Background : Chemotherapy make patients who diagnosed with cancer have feelings of aneasy, anxiety and fear of the shadows of death that haunts every time. The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of Spiritual Guided imagery and music (SGIM) on the anxiety of cancer patients undergoing chemotherapy. Method : This is a Quasi experimental research study with one group pre and post test design with control group design. The study was conducted in a chemotherapy room in 30 patients who received SGIM therapy and 30 as a control group. Anxiety scores  were measured 3 times: 1 day and 30 minutes before chemotherapy and 1 day after chemotherapy. Anxiety is measured using the Hamilton Anciety Rating Scale (HARS). Data were analyzed by GLM repeated mesure  test with SPSS 21. Results : as many as 73.3% and 26.7 patients had severe and moderate anxiety during the pre test becoming moderate anxiety (56.7%) and mild anxiety (43.3%) at the measurement 30 minutes before chemotherapy and at the end of the measurement had mild anxiety (63.4%) and (33,3 %) had no anxiety, and the rest  3.3% still have experience  of severe anxiety in the SGIM group. The Analysis of  GLM repeated measure test with   post hock banferoni known p value = 0.001, with the  r sguare value = 0.29. This shows that there is an effect of SGIM on anxiety reduction of cancer patients during chemotherapy with  a contribution of 29% ,and the rest are affected by  other variables. Conclusion :  SGIM Therapy reduces anxiety of cancer patients undergoing chemotherapy.

Neuropathology is a challenging subject for most medical students. Delivering a gamified learning tool on this topic may motivate students and increase knowledge in the discipline. We report the development of such a tool in iBook format for the systemic pathology course delivered at Ross University School of Veterinary Medicine. Composed of 10 chapters (cases), this Neuropathology iBook (NP-iB) reviews basic clinical manifestations, neuropathology, and pathogenesis of common non-neoplastic conditions that cause brain disease in domestic animals. The goal of each chapter is to reach a diagnosis by interactively answering specific questions after reviewing relevant medical history, clinical pathology, and autopsy findings. Our hypothesis: the NP-iB improves students’ ability to recognize these diseases, reflected in higher test scores. Using a post-test only control group design, data were gathered from all students enrolled in the course in two different semesters, fall 2017 and spring 2018 ( n = 300). NP-iB users ( n = 51, 17%) and usage time were identified by answers to multiple-choice questions embedded in the course assessments. Ninety percent of users had a positive perception although no statistically significant differences were found in median test scores between users and non-users. Statistically significant test score differences were found across how much time students used the NP-iB ( p = .005); the lowest test score median values were found for neuropathology questions not related to the NP-iB, in students who used it for more than 3 hours. Unexpectedly, a low number of students preferred this digital learning tool, and its use did not improve their learning outcomes.

A quasi‐experimental matched pre‐test, post‐test control group design was used to investigate the impact of individual student focussed teacher inservice on the progress of students with disabilities enrolled in mainstream kindergarten classes. Twelve student pairs in one district of the NSW Department of Education and Training were matched on pre‐test scores collected at the end of the term prior to kindergarten entry. The kindergarten teachers of each student pair were assigned to a training and non‐training group. Teachers in the training group were involved in a 2 day inservice training program which focussed on the assessed needs of the students with disabilities in their classes. Teachers in both groups were surveyed to gauge their perceptions of the support they received in the identified students’ transitions to school and of their efforts to include the students. The students were reassessed at the end of kindergarten. Although the students as a whole made gains in all areas assessed, there were no statistically significant differences in the post‐test scores of the students in the classes of the teachers in the training versus the non‐training group. The implications of these findings and the results of the teacher survey are discussed.
