Values of baccalaureate nursing students in secular and religious schools.
This study examined if and how values held by baccalaureate nursing students in secular and religious schools changed during their school experience. The Rokeach Value Survey was used to measure and assess respondents' hierarchical arrangement of two kinds of values, instrumental and terminal. Two-way analysis of variance was done on each value to ascertain difference by class level or school orientation. Significant differences were found for 25 of the 36 values when the students were compared for school orientation, but for only 17 or the 36 values when freshmen and seniors were compared.
