Abstract
This study examined attitudes toward cost-effectiveness among nurses who were stratified according to their highest educational nursing preparation (ie, diploma, associate degree, bachelor's degree). A convenience sample of 65 staff nurses from OR and intensive care settings participated. Descriptive statistics and one-way and two-way analyses of variance were used to analyze the data. Mean scores on the Blaney/Hobson Nursing Attitude Scale for the associate degree nurse (ADN), diploma, and bachelor of science in nursing (BSN) groups were 69.90, 76.65, and 81.27, respectively. The diploma- and BSN-prepared staff nurses had significantly more favorable attitudes toward cost-containment issues in nursing practice than did the ADN group (p = .05).
