title: Development of the nurse tutor's attitude subscale: a pilot study.
abstract: This study attempts to develop an instrument to measure a nurse-tutor's attitude toward teacher-pupil relationship. The Nurse Tutor's Attitude Subscale comprised of 37 items was adapted from the Minnesota Teacher Attitude Inventory. Although sample size of this survey was too small to allow confident generalisation, the author wishes to share her experience and problems in developing an instrument for measuring teaching attitude of a nurse-tutor in Hong Kong. It is also hoped that through this preliminary communication, more awareness and attention be directed to helping the nurse-tutors to understand that their classroom attitudes affect effectiveness of their teaching and, henceforth, student learning.
