摘要: The amounts of fear contagion aroused in nurses by 15 unnamed diseases were examined. chosen to allow factorial arrangement according their degrees transmissibility and the severities prognoses. Concern about was hypoth esized increase as increased prognosis worsened, accord with a multiplicative model. model tested functional measurement procedures, because this method allows simultaneous evaluation descriptive accuracy proposed validation rating scale. supported graphically statistically. Nurses' worries found have regularity prescribed multi plicative process. Although one constructed simulate character istics AIDS, no magnification relation other deadly infectious diseases. Key words: contagion; measurement; model; nurses. (Med Decis Making 1994;14:40-46)
