Phase I of a longitudinal study compared characteristics of abstractness-concreteness of junior-level baccalaureate nursing students at the University of Colorado with characteristics of practicing nurses and other college students. Three measurement instruments were used: Harvey's Conceptual Systems Test, the Role Survey, and the Self-Esteem Questionnaire. Nursing students were found to be more abstract than practicing nurses; no difference was found on abstractness-concreteness between nursing and the other students. More nursing students than practicing nurses or other students were found to have a need for structure and order. And, nursing students showed higher overall expanded role orientation than practicing nurses. Phases II and III of the study will examine nursing students' changes in abstractness-concreteness during the second and third years of study.
一项纵向研究的第一阶段，对比了科罗拉多大学护理学本科低年级学生的抽象性 - 具体性特征与执业护士及其他大学生的特征。研究使用了三种测量工具：哈维概念系统测试、角色调查问卷和自尊问卷。结果发现，护理学专业学生比执业护士更抽象；在抽象性 - 具体性方面，护理学专业学生与其他专业学生之间没有差异。与执业护士或其他专业学生相比，更多的护理学专业学生表现出对结构和秩序的需求。此外，护理学专业学生比执业护士表现出更高的整体角色扩展倾向。该研究的第二阶段和第三阶段将考察护理学专业学生在学习的第二和第三年抽象性 - 具体性方面的变化。
