The relationship of sleep and anxiety in anxious subjects.

The present study provided polysomnographic corroboration of the frequently reported relationship between anxiety and subjective sleep disturbance. When compared to normals, anxious individuals were found to have significantly less sleep period time, total sleep time, percent stage REM and percent stage 4; shorter latency to stage REM; and greater percent stage 1. Partial correlations (holding depression constant) showed significant positive relationships between anxiety rating and number of awakenings, latency to stage 1, and percent stage 2. A significant negative relationship was found between anxiety and percent stage 4, and a nonsignificant negative trend was found between anxiety and latency to stage REM. Overall there was a tendency toward less sleep and lighter sleep in subjects with anxiety, thus validating subjective reports. The decreased latency to stage REM and its negative relation to anxiety, raised the possibility that this variable may not be specifically indicative of depression.

Effects of a participative intervention on high school students' image and valuation of nursing.

In this pretest, posttest, control group study, high school biology students (N = 451) were actively engaged in a dialogue with an investigator/change agent regarding specific nursing situations in which the image dimensions of caring, useful, scientifically knowledgeable, and autonomous were highlighted. The effects of this involvement and participation on students' image and valuation of nursing were assessed. The process was found to be highly effective in expanding students' image of nursing and moderately effective in increasing their valuation of nursing.
