This survey was conducted in October 1990. Survey forms were sent to all nurse anesthesia programs offering master's degrees. The purpose of the study was to determine the dropout rate of students who did not complete their programs during the period from 1985 to 1990. Directors were asked to rate their satisfaction to determine if students were more likely to leave because of clinical or academic difficulties or for personal reasons. The time frame and the circumstances surrounding the students' departures were also examined. The attrition rate of programs ranged from 0-25% (mean = 8.2%). More than half the students left for personal reasons. The remainder were almost equally divided between clinical and academic reasons. In fact, many directors had difficulty distinguishing between these two causes. Most students left during the first 12 months of their program, and more than half of them were not encouraged to resign. A large majority (78%) of directors found their program's attrition rate to be very acceptable.
这项调查于1990年10月进行。调查问卷被发送给所有提供硕士学位的护士麻醉专业项目。该研究的目的是确定1985年至1990年期间未完成学业的学生的辍学率。项目主任被要求对他们的满意度进行评分，以确定学生更有可能因为临床或学业困难还是个人原因而离开。同时还研究了学生离校的时间框架和相关情况。各项目的 attrition rate（此处未明确attrition的准确中文释义，推测为退学率之类的意思）在0%-25%之间（平均为8.2%）。超过一半的学生因个人原因离开。其余学生因临床和学业原因离开的人数几乎相等。事实上，许多主任很难区分这两个原因。大多数学生在项目的前12个月内离开，其中超过一半的人并非被鼓励辞职。绝大多数（78%）主任认为他们项目的退学率是完全可以接受的。
