Drowsy driving claims many lives every year. While all drivers are susceptible to the problem of drowsy driving, the nurse population is of particular concern. Studies have shown the severity of drowsiness for night shift nurses both at work and on the drive home. Many work and non-work factors contribute to the drowsiness that nurses experience. This study used a semi-structured interview approach to gain the perception and experiences of nurses concerning drowsy driving and possible interventions. Interviews were conducted at a large hospital in south central Texas with 30 night shift nurses. Visualizations depicting nurses’ responses are presented to aid in the understanding of the themes derived from the interviews. The nurses experience drowsy driving on a regular basis, use ineffective mitigation techniques and have differing preferences for an educational and technological intervention for drowsy driving. An emergent theme was how work and non-work factors work in conjunction to impact the nurses’ experiences of drowsy driving. Potential, implementable solutions regarding some of these factors are presented.

Abstract This study aimed to investigate the extent to which school leaders practice the ethics of educational leadership to make decisions. A mixed-methods research design was used in this study. The quantitative data of this study were obtained from the participation of 260 teachers, and the qualitative data of this study were collected from nine school leaders. The questionnaire and the semi-structured interview were used to collect the data. The study was conducted during the school year of 2017-2018. The study found that the overall extent to which school leaders practice the ethics of educational leadership to make decisions was classified as “always occurs". The findings showed that there were statistically significant differences between participants with different gender and school levels on the overall and all dimensions of the extent to which school leaders practice the ethics of educational leadership to make decisions, while there were not statistically significant differences between the groups of the participants with different teaching experience. The qualitative findings provided some common factors that influence school leaders’ practice to making ethical decisions. These factors were explained based on two concepts including management knowledge and leadership skills as well as the context of school's culture.
