It has been suggested that one reason may be the difficulty that such individuals have in communicating about their pain. Aims and objectives: The study aimed to explore the assumption that people with ID are unable to communicate effectively about pain by examining the extent to which they were reported as using language and behaviour that was readily understandable to others to communicate pain as distinct from distress. Design: A postal questionnaire based mixed method design was used. Method: The data from carer reports (n=29) of the ways the people with ID they supported expressed pain and distress were categorised and analysed using descriptive statistics and thematic content analysis Results: Of the 22 people who used verbal communication, 19 (86%) were reported to express pain using words that would be understandable to someone else, often accompanied by behavioural indications of the location of the pain. The language and behaviour that was reported as being used to express distress was more idiosyncratic and there was little overlap between this and the ways in which pain was expressed. Conclusion: The results provide some challenges to the view that people with ID are necessarily unable to communicate effectively about their pain and support the view that pain and distress can be conceptually distinguished and differentially communicated by some people with ID. Relevance to clinical practice: The results suggest that many people with ID can be active participants in describing their experience of pain and that nurses should attempt to obtain this information directly from the individual during the diagnostic process. In addition, nurses need to be mindful of the distinction between pain and distress and should not respond to signs of distress in this group as being indicative of pain, without carrying out further assessment.

Such knowledge is especially important to the liberal arts major because the number, scope, and impact of technological developments increase daily. Such a course would be based on the rhetorical principles which (1) describe things and actions; (2) logically classify, divide, and define reality and the terms used to present it; and (3) reliably evaluate and interpret relevant facts and opinions. The course should also train students in skills common to discursive and creative prose and poetry. Students in such a course should have the advantages of being able to apply rhetorical principles to concrete reality and to comprehend technological writing of various kinds. (JM)

It was the purpose of this study to (l) gather data from selected nurses employed on a part-time basis to determine the degree of satisfaction felt by each regarding certain predetermined factors which are representative of the integral parts of their particu lar employment; (2) analyze the data to determine which of the factors seemed to contribute most to the job satisfac tion of the professional nurse employed on a part-time basis; and (3) present data which are of interest to, and can be utilized by, a director of nursing service to aid in planning for, and staffing with, professional nurses employed on a part-time basis. The sample surveyed included 138 nurses employed on a part-time basis in six hospitals of a large metropolitan area of the Rocky Mountain region. The normative survey method of research and the mail questionnaire technique were used to obtain the data. The contents of the questionnaire included opinionseeking questions concerning factors thought to contribute to job satisfaction of the professional nurse employed on a part-time basis, which might be relative to her particu lar situation. From the analysis of the data it may be assumed that the factors were contributory to job satis faction. It was also considered that the areas of greatest satisfaction were those of job content, and the areas of least satisfaction were those of secondary ele ments which did not involve professional training, skills, or abilities. It was thus found that the professional nurses employed on a part-time basis were satisfied with those factors of their job involving total competency and were least satisfied with the factors that were matters of hospital policy, administration, and working conditions.
