BACKGROUND Medical students face a variety of stressors associated with their education; if not promptly identified and adequately dealt with, it may bring about several negative consequences in terms of mental health and academic performance. This study examined psychometric properties of the Korean version of the Higher Education Stress Inventory (K-HESI). METHODS The reliability and validi...

Abstract Background Studies in the literature have relied on a single instrument to assess stress levels and sources among nursing students Jordan other Arab countries. Thus, there is need develop Arabic versions of psychometrically validated instruments for evaluating wider range aspects related stressors. The Higher Education Stress Inventory (HESI) an used various stressors higher education ...

The aims of this study were to describe current policy practice related to the use of the HESITM Exit Exam in schools of nursing and to determine which policies result in higher HESI Exit Scores. Deans and directors of nursing schools that administered Elsevier HESI Exit Exam to students during the 2010 academic year were queried. Data were collected regarding students’ HESI Exit Exam results, ...

Several articles reporting radiocarbon dates of Early Bronze Age (EB) material from excavations in the southern Levant have been published over the last 30 yr. The excavations conducted at Tell el-Hesi have produced material from which 2 additional 14C dates have been extracted to date. The 2 samples confirm the EB dating of Field VI material and suggest EB III settlement at Hesi might be earli...

The hydrocarboxylation and hydrosilylation processes proposed in the copper-catalyzed reaction among carbon dioxide, diphenylacetylene and HSi(OEt)3 were comparatively studied with the aid of density functional theorycalculations. Our study is to explorewhy the reactionpreferred ahydrocarboxylation rather than a hydrosilylation process. It was found that the s bond metathesis between CueC and H...

The gastroprotective effect of the hexane extract of the leaves of Sesamum indicum (HESI) was investigated in twenty-eight male rabbits. Gastroprotective activity against necrotizing agent induced ulceration was studied. Gastric wall mucus was determined by standard methods. Anti-secretory activity was determined in twelve pyloric-ligated rabbits. Phytochemical and acute toxicity tests were per...

(ILSI) Health and Environmental Sciences Institute (HESI) formed a multisector consortium to address challenges associated with the integration of genomics data into risk assessment (Pennie et al. 2004). Following its formation, the HESI Committee on the Application of Genomics to Mechanism-Based Risk Assessment identified several key hurdles. These included a lack of publicly available toxico-...

Using Seidman’s retention formula as a theoretical foundation, this study investigated historical data from a Bachelor of Science (BSN) nursing program to determine whether the admission variables of the preprogram grade point averages (GPA), American College Testing (ACT) scores, anatomy and physiology course grades, and/or the Health Education System Inc. (HESI) Exit Exam scores could predict...
