Classifying Matter by State02:49

Classifying Matter by State

103.8K
Chemistry is the study of matter and the changes it undergoes. Matter is anything that has mass and occupies space. Matter is all around us; the air, water, soil, mountains, even our bodies are all examples of matter. Matter is divided into three states — solid, liquid, and gas — that are commonly found on earth. The fourth state of matter, plasma, occurs naturally in the interiors of stars.

Nursing Process for Patient and Caregiver Teaching III: Evaluation and Documentation

2.6K
Evaluation of the teaching process enables the nurse to determine if the patient's learning needs were met and if training was effective. If the expected outcomes are not met, the care plan is revised, and additional education or reinforcement is provided. Nurses can ask questions after the session or obtain feedback to assess the patient's understanding of the topic.
Nurses can use several methods to evaluate patient outcomes. For example, oral questions can assess cognitive learning,...

Matter: Pure Substances and Mixtures
According to its composition, the matter can be classified into two broad categories — pure substances and mixtures. 
A pure substance is a form of matter that has a constant composition throughout with uniform properties. For example, any sample of sucrose has the same composition and same physical properties, such as melting point, color, and sweetness, regardless of the source from which it is isolated. 
A mixture is composed of two or...

The Atomic Theory of Matter

128.4K
The earliest recorded discussion of the basic structure of matter comes from ancient Greek philosophers. Leucippus and Democritus argued that all matter was composed of small, finite particles that they called atomos, meaning “indivisible.” Later, Aristotle and others came to the conclusion that matter consisted of various combinations of the four “elements” — fire, earth, air, and water — and could be infinitely divided. Interestingly, these philosophers...

What is Matter?01:13

What is Matter?

103.1K
The substance of the universe—from a grain of sand to a star—is called matter. Scientists define matter as anything that occupies space and has mass. An object’s mass and its weight are related concepts, but not quite the same. An object’s mass is the amount of matter contained in the object and is the same whether that object is on Earth or in the zero-gravity environment of outer space. An object’s weight, on the other hand, is its mass as affected by the pull of...

Area of Science:

  • Developmental Psychology
  • Child Development Research
  • Parent-Infant Interaction Studies

Background:

  • Caregiver sensitivity's role in child development is debated due to inconsistent predictive value.
  • Lack of definitional uniformity and issues with assessment tools hinder understanding of caregiver sensitivity.
  • Inter-tool concordance and construct validity of sensitivity measures require examination.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To examine the correspondences among four established standardized measures of caregiver sensitivity.
  • To assess how different instruments classify caregiver sensitivity in the same sample of mothers.
  • To investigate the interchangeability of popular caregiver sensitivity assessment tools.

Main Methods:

  • Compared three observational caregiver sensitivity measures: Emotional Availability Scales (EAS), Parent Child Interaction - Nursing Child Assessment Feeding Scale (PCI-NCAFS), and Maternal Behaviour Q-Sort (MBQS).
  • Juxtaposed ratings with classifications from the Ainsworth Maternal Sensitivity Scales (AMSS).
  • Assessed 50 European American mother-infant dyads of diverse socioeconomic status (SES).

Main Results:

  • The EAS, NCAFS, and MBQS showed relationships with the AMSS.
  • Large proportions of variance were unshared among the measures.
  • Significant differences in how the instruments assess caregiver sensitivity were observed.

Conclusions:

  • Researchers and clinicians should exercise caution when assuming interchangeability of caregiver sensitivity measures.
  • Popular observational instruments may evaluate different facets of caregiver sensitivity.
  • Further research is needed to clarify the construct of caregiver sensitivity and its measurement.
