Stressful events among pregnant Salvadoran women: a cross-cultural comparison.
OBJECTIVE: To compare stressful events, including violent episodes, experienced by pregnant Salvadoran women with those experienced by two other groups of low-income, pregnant women living in the United States (non-Salvadoran Hispanics and non-Hispanics) and to examine the association between episodes of violence and drug or alcohol use among the three groups. DESIGN: Comparative, descriptive study. SETTING: Public health prenatal clinics. PARTICIPANTS: One hundred four Salvadoran, 69 non-Salvadoran Hispanic, and 187 non-Hispanic pregnant women. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: Difficult Life Circumstances (DLC) scale and psychosocial history assessment. RESULTS: Statistically significant differences were found among the three groups in total DLC scores, F(2, 357) = 14.98, p < .001; reported episodes of violence, F(2, 357 = 17.82, p < .001; and drug or alcohol use, F(2, 357) = 6.33, p < .001. A significant difference was found to the extent that alcohol or drug use accounted for the variance in violence among the three groups, F(3, 360) = 6.28, p < .001. CONCLUSIONS: Cross-cultural comparisons revealed group differences in the number of stressful events, including episodes of violence and alcohol or drug use.

Developing a preceptor program: what are the ingredients?
Facilitating the orientation process has historically been the responsibility of staff development personnel. In recent years, hospitals have experienced the need to enhance the clinical orientation of new nurses; thus, the preceptor has emerged as a viable means of orienting nurses to the clinical setting and in socializing the graduate nurse to the role of a professional nurse. This article discusses the preceptor program for nurse orientation at The Cleveland Clinic Foundation.
