[Identification of types in small samples with the help of bootstrap simulation (illustrated with the help of the anxiety/depression subscales of the HAD)]. / Bootstrapsimulierte Typenidentifikation in kleinen Stichproben (dargestellt am Beispiel der Angst/Depression-Subskalen - HAD).

Using a HAD-file as an illustration, we could show that small files (n = 50) can provide statistically significant results if we apply bootstrap simulation. First the subscales "anxiety" and "depression" are computed and afterwards classified (in three categories). Both classified subscales are cross tabled and submitted to a configurational cluster analysis. One type can be clearly identified. To test the stability of the one-type solution, a bootstrap simulation (Lautsch/von Weber: BOOTSTRAP) is applied. The simulation confirms the one-type solution.

[Socio-demographic identification of anxiety-depression types (socio-demographic specification and prediction of types)]. / Soziodemographische Identifikation von Angst-Depressions-Typen (Soziodemographische Erklärung und Prognose von Typen).

In the article "Identification of Types in Small Samples with the help of Bootstrap Simulation" we could show how anxiety-depression types could be explored in small samples. We used the two sub-scales (anxiety and depression) in accordance with the indications of the HAD manual of Zigmond, A.S. & Snaith R.P. . The extraction of types will be repeated with the data of n=168 homeless people. Then the socio-demographic homogeneity of the extracted types will be tested. With this procedure we want to answer the question, whether in the sub-group of homeless people, the knowledge the degree of expression of some significant socio-demographic traits will allow us assigning them to specific anxiety-depression types.

[2 sample configuration frequency analysis: solitary and complementary discriminant types of treatment and control groups]. / Zweistichproben-KFA: Solitäre und komplementäre Diskriminanztypen von Behandlungs- und Kontrollgruppen.

The paper entitled "Two-sample CFA: Solitary and complementary discriminant types of treatment- and control groups" suggests to modify 2-sample and c-sample CFA as follows: While singular patterns of attributes define solitary types, complementary pairs of patterns define complementary types which may be interpreted as poles of a type-defining factor in factor analysis. The new version of 2-sample CFA is illustrated in 2 examples from clinical psychology with patterns of scales and symptoms.

[The record book of a general nursing station--a reflection of daily interventions?]. / Das Berichtsbuch der allgemeinen Pflegestation--ein Spiegelbild der alltäglichen Intervention?

There were analyzed report books of three nursing stations to win starting points for a milieu therapeutical reform. The methodical inventory included the analysis of the contents as well as rules of functional-communicating linguistic description. The qualitative analysis showed that most texts should be classified as texts of the class 'inform'. The members of the staff fall back upon the emotional report in problematical daily situations. The quantitative analysis of the dates showed the tendency for describing live at the nursing stations in the report books with routine notes. In cases the text included a statement there was dominating the medical-careful contents. Social stiking behavior of the inhabitants is more documented as an observation of there global rights and duties or individual and/or social useful activities. An improvement of this situation is possible if the state of affairs is not only told but based too and if the consequences are fixed. The script-approach by SCHANK and ABELSON should be tested for it's usefulness to improve the reports. Isolate requirements must be embed in a general conscions processing of social informations.

[Use of the Küchenhoff continuity correction of the Lehmacher CFA test in search of types of sociogenic behavior disorders]. / Zur Anwendung der Küchenhoff-Stetigkeitskorrektur des Lehmacherschen KFA-Tests in der Suche nach Typen soziogener Verhaltensstörungen.

To avoid anticonservative rejections of CFA null hypotheses when using Lehmacher's test Küchenhoff suggested to apply a continuity correction. This correction reduces the differences between observed and expected cell frequencies by a constant. The present paper discusses this variant of Lehmacher's test. Application of the correction for continuity in the search for types of sociogene neuropathology are presented. The discussion covers the effectivity of CFA tests in connection with Holm's method of alpha adjustment.

[Quality of medical information on admission to a nursing home]. / Zur Qualität ärztlicher Informationen bei Aufnahme in ein Krankenpflegeheim.

In this paper one aspect of social relation in health and social service is investigated by means of documentation analysis: the quality of medical information on admission to a nursing home. In 6% of all cases (n = 120) the nursing home received detailed data on the diagnosis and therapy, the status praesens and on the clinical symptoms, on the social and psychological situation of the aged person in need of care and his/her clinical parameters. With 6% the basic data (name, date of birth, diagnosis) were incomplete. With 66.7% the data were available on the day of admission. There was no dependence on age, sex and stage of care of the person in need of care. The data were less extensive if the person in need of care was referred to from an out-patient department and inquiries could not be made with him/her or his/her relatives/acquaintances. An improvement of this situation is possible if the cooperation between hitherto attending doctor, the care institution of the municipal district for aged people and the nursing home is coordinated better.

[Age and sexuality from the viewpoint of the inmates of homes for the aged and nursing homes]. / Alter und Sexualität in der Sicht von Feierabend- und Pflegeheimbewohnern (3).

This work refers to the former informations. It expands the hitherto existing way of investigation by the use of unifactoral , univariate and multifactoral , univariate models of factor efficacy. The medium coinage of all indicators of the investigated need lets percept significant differences in the groups of age, sex, personal status, time of being in homes and content of work. So, young groups of age expect from the new partner a greater readiness for intimate contacts. Female home inhabitants are sensitive for emotional relations between each other, male inhabitants are stronger interested in sexual aspects. The importance of these relations is increasing by higher content of work. The application of multifactoral , univariate models divides the settled efficacy of the elected characteristics for the person of inhabitant into main and interaction effects. The results let percept deep relations of factor efficacy between these characteristics at elected indicators of the central questions. At the end there is given a summed view of the results of all three articles.

[Age and sexuality from the point of view of inhibitants of homes for the aged and geriatric nursing homes (author's transl)]. / Alter und Sexualität in der Sicht von Feierabend- und Pflegeheimbewohnern (2).

It is to be said that the value orientations of inhabitants of homes for the aged in loveful and tender demonstrations at age contain the whole range of the social differentiation without clear attachment. No type of the social differentiation of inhabitants of homes for the aged and geriatric nursing homes tends to a certain type of choosing a partner. There was no evidence for a well defined connection between social differentiation and attitude to sexuality at age and in the home of aged.

[The measurement of factors influencing on complex needs of the inhibitants in geriatric nursing homes for cultural entertainment (author's transl)]. / Zur Messung von Einflussgrössen auf das komplexe Bedürfnis nach kulturellen Veranstaltungen bei Bewohnern geriatrischer Pflegestationen.

The paper investigates the question if the factors age, sex, kind of work and during of stay in the geriatric nursing home influence the indicators selected showing the development of the needs of cultural entertainments of the inhibitants of these home. The data have been obtained by way of interviews covering 60 inhibitants. For solving this problem we have used (1) the analysis of variance and (2) the H-Test, combined with the Dunn-Test. For none of the indicators selected to reflect the need for cultural entertainment have we been able to prove statistically on influence by the factors age, sex, kind of work and during of stay. This statement is not valid for the combination: during of stay and striving for special knowledge obtained from cultural entertainments (about problems of life in the geriatric nursing home). The special test (Dunn-test) explains the chance age-factor influencing the indicators striving for increasing the general knowledge and striving for special knowledge obtained from cultural entertainments. We can recognize a similar tendency in regard to the influence of the factor during of stay on the indicator striving on the part of inhibitants for been confronted with the problems of their environment.

[Group specific peculiarities in the need for cultural entertainments for residents of nursing homes for the aged]. / Zu gruppenspezifischen Besonderheiten des Bedürfnisses nach kulturellen Veranstaltungen bei Bewohnern geriatrischer Pflegestationen.

For the leading of the complex care as all social process the exact notice of need-structure among aged people important. The investigation of the complex need for cultural entertainments among inhabitants of geriatric nursing stations shows group-specific particularities, so that by taking cultural measures the didactiv principle is to be demanded to offer differentiated entertainments concerning the contents with different intentions. In our institution the complex need for cultural intertainments is satisfied by the real cultural offer with the exception of the indicators "moral-educational aspiration--special knowledge--compensation!" The existing difference must be used as a motiv power for increasing the cultural living standard. At a defined moment not all eventual and entitled aspects of the explored need can be satisfied, but the cultural measures must be set in relation to the objective [corrected] functions of a geriatric nursing station and to the orientation of action among the inhibitants.
