Abstract:

This paper argues the case for participative ecodesign as a means of conducting future rangeland research and development. To embark on this path it will be necessary for the rangeland science community to critically question traditions and myths which shape current practices. These include current conceptions of extension, "technology transfer", community and human communication. Research has shown that attitudes of rangeland decision-makers are rarely a constraint to dealing with issues of land degradation and management and technology "adoption". Attempts to change attitudes are likely to be of little value. A recognition of the unequal power relations implicit in traditional practice is a necessary precondition to the emergence of participative processes which reverse the history of subjection of grazier knowledge and values by institutionalised authority. A set of values and guiding principles are proposed for participative ecodesign. These include (i) reinterpreting our relationship with land; (ii) policy development based on citizen as opposed to individual values and (iii) acknowledging power in the design process.

Abstract:

BackgroundThe baseline findings from a controlled study of the effect of a public education campaign on community attitudes to mental illness are presented.MethodA census of attitudes to mental illness was conducted in two areas, prior to the opening of supported houses for the mentally ill Factor analysis of the Community Attitudes toward the Mentally III (CAMI) inventory revealed three components: Fear and Exclusion, Social Control and Goodwill.ResultsThe only determinant of Fear and Exclusion was having children. The main determinants of Social Control were social class, ethnic origin, age, having suffered mental illness and having children. The main determinant of Goodwill was educational level The attitude factors were predictive of respondents' behavioural intentions toward the mentally ill. Respondents with children and non-Caucasians were more likely to object to the mentally ill living in their neighbourhood.ConclusionsAny intervention aimed at changing attitudes to mentally ill people in the community should be targeted at people with children and non-Caucasians, as these groups are more likely to object.

Abstract:

blue spaces. Attitude towards green-blue space were also studied. However, little attention is given to perceived benefits and attitude components in ecosystem service research. This paper aims to examine community attitudes towards urban green-blue spaces and its association with perceived benefits based on cultural ecosystem services concept. A questionnaire was conducted among 31 respondents of local community at Taiping Lake Garden, Perak. The data were analyzed using Statistical Package for the Social Science (SPSS) which involving multiple regression to capture the effects of attitude components on perceived benefits. The findings suggest that overall attitudes of respondents had an excellent level of perceived attitudes toward urban green-blue space. However, among three sub-construct of attitudes, only cognitive attitude was found to be the dominant variable compared to conative and affective attitude that predicts perceived cultural ecosystem benefits. This indicates that if the community could enhance their positive attitudes toward their urban green-blue space, they may perceive higher cultural ecosystem benefits. Future research should continue to explore ways of enhancing positive attitudes among urban community as attitude may guide them to enhance their engagement in urban green-blue spaces.

Abstract:

Background: Despite a growth in palliative care services, access and referral patterns are inconsistent and only a minority of people who would benefit from such care receive it. Use of palliative care is also affected by community attitudes toward palliative care. As such, determining community attitudes toward palliative care is crucial. We also need to determine what predicts attitudes in order to provide appropriate information and education. Objectives: The 2 research questions were: (1) What are community attitudes toward palliative care? and (2) what are the determinants of community attitudes toward palliative care? Design: A tripartite model of attitudes was used, which articulates attitudes as comprising knowledge and experience, emotions, and beliefs. A cross-sectional descriptive survey was used. Participants: A community sample of 180 participants completed the survey. Results: The average attitude and belief responses were very positive, the average emotions responses were somewhat positive. The sample had good knowledge of palliative care. Lowest knowledge scores were reported for the items: “Euthanasia is not part of palliative care,” “Palliative care does not prolong or shorten life,” and “Specialist palliative care is only available in hospitals.” After controlling place of birth and age, it was found that beliefs, emotions, and knowledge each accounted for a significant proportion of unique variance in attitude toward palliative care. Each variable had a positive relationship with attitude. Conclusion: Beliefs, emotions, and knowledge all need to be incorporated into palliative care community education programs.

Abstract:

Attitudes toward physician-assisted suicide (PAS) were assessed in a sample of 400 community adults, stratified as to gender and socioeconomic class, using a 12-item psychometric scale rather than the more typical survey question. The results indicate that the Domino scale, currently the only psychometric instrument of attitudes toward PAS, is factorially homogeneous and shows considerable internal stability. There were no gender differences, but significant socioeconomic class differences were obtained with better educated, upper class individuals more favorable in attitude than semi-skilled and unskilled poorly educated lower social class individuals. The majority of respondents support physician assisted suicide, but such support is inversely related to age.

Abstract:

The peoples understanding of waste affects their attitudes and modes in waste management. The attitudes towards health-community-based waste management has their positive impact i.e. improving environmental and community health and in the end promoting communitys economy. This research aimed at understanding the effectiveness of health-community-based waste management in Yogyakarta indicated by the residents knowledge of waste, attitude, behavior, and the existence of desease vector and economical condition. This was a social action research, which applied a quantitative method. The research was conducted through implementing waste management based on community health perception. The data-collecting technique involved observation participant technique. There was a significant difference between peoples knowledge on waste management before and after waste management counselling with p value 0.000 < 0.05. There was a significant difference between the peoples attitude before and after waste management counselling with p value 0.021 < 0.05. There was a significant difference between the peoples behavior before and after waste management counselling with 0.033 < 0.05. There was a significant difference between the density of fly population before and after waste management counselling with p value 0.013 < 0.05. The average of 30 participants income earned from garbage is IDR 55.952.83 quarterly or IDR 18.650.61 (IDR 13.450.00 = 1 US$). The conclusion is knowledge, attitude, behavior indicators and vector density improved after the training of health-communicty based waste management.

Abstract:

BackgroundThe findings from a controlled study of the effect of a public education campaign on community attitudes to mentally ill people are presented.MethodA census of neighbours' attitudes toward mental illness was conducted in two areas before the opening of supported houses for the mentally ill. In one area an educational campaign was conducted The attitude survey was then repeated in both areas and patients' social contact with neighbours was recorded.ResultsRespondents exposed to the didactic component of the campaign showed only a small increase in knowledge about mental illness but there was a lessening of fearful and rejecting attitudes in the experimental area and not in the control area Neighbours in the experimental area were more likely to make social contact with both staff and patients. It was social contact which was directly associated with improved attitudes rather than education per se. Patients in the experimental area made contact and even friendships with neighbours whereas those in the control area did not.ConclusionsThe public education campaign did not lead to significant changes in neighbours' knowledge of mental illness. However, their attitudes improved and patients' social integration was enhanced.

Abstract:

Variation in the extent an attitude is imbued with moral conviction is a strong predictor of a variety of consequential social judgments; however, the extant literature has not explained variation in moral conviction. The authors predict that some attitudes may be experienced as moral because they are heritable, promoting group survival and firmly rooting people in these attitudes. To test this hypothesis, the authors surveyed two community samples and a student sample (total N = 456) regarding the extent participants perceived 20 attitudes as moral attitudes, and compared these ratings to established estimates of attitude heritability. Across all three studies, attitudes with greater previously established heritability estimates were more likely to be experienced as moral, even when controlling for a variety of measures of attitude strength and the extent to which an attitude is associated with one’s religious beliefs.

Abstract:

Objective: Healthcare providers play a key role in reducing medication errors and improving patient care, especially for those who suffer with chronic diseases. This study aims to assess pharmacist attitudes toward collaborative practice in northeastern Iran.Methods: A face-to-face survey was offered to a sample of 124 pharmacists in Mashhad, Iran, and some other cities of the Razavi Khorasan province. This survey assessed the following elements of community pharmacists’ collaborative behavior: “interactional determinants,” “environmental determinants,” and “pharmacist determinants.” Results were analyzed to determine how pharmacists’ attitudes and other variables would influence their collaborative behavior.Results: The survey response rate was 100%. Principal component analysis revealed that the attitudes towards collaboration instrument for pharmacists (ATCI-P) in our sample consisted of two factors: interactional determinants and pharmacist determinants, both with high internal consistency (Cronbach’s alpha = 0.83). The lowest and the highest scores in the interactional determinants domain were 19 and 35, respectively. The higher attitudes toward collaboration were obtained in the capital city, Mashhad, rather than in towns (P-value = 0.006). Multiple linear regression analysis of the complete model was significant (R = 0.36, P-value = 0.005). The age and city/community size were also found to be significant predictors of collaboration behavior (B = 0.300, p = 0.002 and B = 0.259, p = 0.004, respectively).Conclusion: The community pharmacists in Razavi Khorasan, Iran, have a profound attitude toward collaboration with physicians, and their collaborative behavior is influenced by the age and community size.

Abstract:

Due to the nature of rugby, concussions are a frequent occurrence and can go undetected by different stakeholders. Knowledge regarding identification of symptoms, management and prevention of re-injury is crucial for the welfare of players. The aim of the study was to determine the concussion knowledge and attitudes among different community club rugby stakeholders. The study gathered quantitative information by utilizing the Rosenbaum Concussion Knowledge and Attitude Survey-Student Version (RoCKAS-ST). Of all the participants (N = 434), medical staff (79 ± 10%) provided the highest Concussion Knowledge Index scores followed by referees (78 ± 8%) and players (67 ± 13%). The stakeholders scored 76% overall for Concussion Attitude Index. Across the scenarios the different participants believed to have safer attitudes compared to that of others within their team. Statistical differences were found between stakeholders when asked if concussion is less important than other injuries, as players, coaches and administrative staff all indicated an unsafe response in contrast to that of referees (p < 0.01). Players indicated an unsafe attitude towards returning to play, while symptomatic as a result of a concussion whereas coaches indicated a safer response (p < 0.01). Only two out of eight legitimate symptoms, headaches and dizziness, were correctly identified by 80% or more of participants, which warrants concern that identification of symptoms could be lacking on this level. Investigating the knowledge and attitudes of concussion at community club rugby level could identify which areas are to be further targeted by the South African Rugby Union.

Abstract:

An effective protected area system is essential for the long-term conservation of Myanmar's biodiversity. This study examined the attitudes of 2915 residents in 97 communities around three protected areas (PAs) in upper Myanmar: Alaungdaw Kathapa National Park in the western mountains, Htamanthi Wildlife Sanctuary in the hills bordering the Chindwin and Uru rivers, and Chatthin Wildlife Sanctuary in the central dry zone. Logistic regression indicated a positive attitude toward the PAs was most highly correlated with a perception of conservation benefits and benefits resulting from management of the areas. Attitude was also significantly correlated with a perception of extraction benefits, conflicts with PA staff and crop damage by wildlife. Socioeconomic variables were less powerful than perceptions in predicting attitude and, unlike perceptions, their effects varied among the areas. The much greater effect of perceptions, especially positive ones, on people's attitudes indicates that understanding perceptions is important to improving the relationship between local residents and these PAs. This finding underscores the fact that a focus on conflicts to understand people's attitudes toward PAs may undervalue or miss critical positive perceptions that people hold. Understanding local residents' perceptions of PAs makes possible the creation of strategic, place-based management strategies that build on people's positive perceptions and mitigate their negative perceptions.

Full text

Abstract:

Host communities often very strongly oppose municipal waste disposal facilities despite the absence of very serious physical impacts. In order to effectively manage facility impacts and siting process to reduce host community opposition, waste management engineers and planners must understand the linkage between physical impacts and beliefs and the resulting attitudes in the host community. Physical impacts, community beliefs, and attitudes were assessed at two typical waste facilities, a landfill and an incinerator for municipal solid waste. Typical landfill impacts consist of water and air quality effects, odors, noise, and visual impacts; incinerators generate air quality impacts, visual and slight noise effects. While residents' general beliefs about facility impacts focus on obvious physical impacts (noise, odor, air emissions), residents' opinions of specific waste facilities comprise a broader set of physical and nonphysical impacts, including property value losses, community image impact, and loss of community control. These underlying, nonphysical impact beliefs are associated with exposure to obvious nuisance impacts and correlate strongly with residents' attitudes about the facility. Therefore, impact management efforts will be most effective if they, first, correctly identify underlying concerns and, then, manage the physical impacts that trigger them. Key words: waste disposal facilities, physical impacts, community beliefs, attitude, impact management, community acceptance.

Abstract:

A number of researchers have concluded that females have negative attitudes toward mathematics which impede math achievement. In addition, rural influence may discourage girls' participation in math, thus impeding the chance for very capable females entrance into technical fields. This study utilized the Mathematics Attitude Inventory (MAI) (Sandman, 1980) to assess rural, gifted females' attitudes toward mathematics. Both an experimental and control group were administered the attitude assessment prior to the start of a semester-long intervention program for the experimental group. There were no significant differences at the .05 level in the two groups' attitudes toward math according to pretest scores. The intervention strategies for the experimental group included a variety of problem solving activities, math-related career options, and self-esteem issues. Posttest scores on the MAI revealed significant differences at the .05 level between the two groups. Thus, the intervention program was effective in positively influencing rural, gifted girls' attitudes about math.

Abstract:

AbstractThe results of various studies have suggested a range of demographic and personality variables that may affect attitudes toward the treatment of nonhuman species; however, the literature has reached little consensus. Various limited populations have used The Attitude to Animals Scale (AAS), developed initially by Herzog, Betchart, and Pittman (1991), as a quantitative measure of attitudes toward the treatment of nonhuman species. The current study administered the AAS to a large community sample within Australia, resulting in approximately 600 respondents. The study found demographic variables such as age, educational level, presence of children in the current dwelling, current, and past companion animal ownership to have no statistically significant effect on AAS scores. The study found both occupation and income to have an effect on AAS scores. This paper examines and discusses all of these variables and their effects (or lack thereof).

Abstract:

Background: Autopsy is a comprehensive evaluation of the body and the circumstances surrounding an individual’s death. Currently, autopsy rates in various countries have been decreased in recent years. This decrease was due to the rejection by people who had inadequate knowledge, attitudes, and perceptions about autopsies. This study aimed to determine the knowledge, attitudes, and perceptions of Bandung residents about autopsies. Methods: This cross-sectional descriptive observational study involved people in the Bandung City who were over the age of 20 during the period August to September 2020. The sample was obtained using a snowball system. Research subjects filled out a questionnaire through a Google form containing questions about knowledge, attitudes, and perceptions. The results were categorized based on the median for each variable. Results: Subjects with questionnaire data obtained were 378 people with an average age of 30.30±13.48 years, and most (66.9%) were female. A total of 259 people had adequate knowledge (68.5%), 254 people (67.2%) had a positive attitude, and 249 people (65.9%) had a positive perception, with a median value of 7, 6, and 12, respectively. However, 95 people did not agree to do an autopsy on their relatives or family to determine the cause of death. Conclusion: The subject as a whole showed adequate knowledge, positive attitude, and perception. However, there are still some people who show inadequate knowledge and poor attitudes and perceptions about autopsies. It is recommended that the government and other institutions intervene in the community to increase knowledge and attitudes and improve public perception.

Abstract:

Background: There is a growing international development in community pharmacists’ and authority prescribing role. Objective: The study assess the attitudes of community pharmacists toward expanding their prescribing role and to identify any contributing factors. Methods: This cross-sectional study was conducted in Jordan. A validated self-administered questionnaire addressing participants’ attitudes toward expanding the prescribing role of community pharmacists, the preferred model, barriers and training need was used. Results: In general, 62.3% of community pharmacists exhibited neutral attitudes toward expanding their prescribing role, and 79.4% favored the supplementary prescribing model. The key drivers for expanding prescribing were a better use of community pharmacists’ skills (88.7%) and drug knowledge (79.4%). However, the most perceived barriers were inadequate training in patient assessment and monitoring (75%) and diagnosis of disease (73%). Female respondents had higher mean attitude scores (65.5± 6.79) than males (63.1± 7.89),(p= 0.021, t=2.321). Respondents with a Pharm .D degree had higher mean attitude scores (68.0 ±9.19) than those with a postgraduate degree (66.3±7.59) or those with bachelor of pharmacy (63.6±6.88, p= 0.010, F=4.709). Conclusion: Although overall attitudes of community pharmacists toward prescribing role were neutral, there were some gaps in their knowledge and skills. Community pharmacists, therefore, require further and urgent training in certain areas together with addressing the identified barriers.

This study was designed to determine the feasibility of improving gifted girls' attitudes toward mathematics. This study was conducted in three school districts in an isolated rural setting. Subjects were 24 gifted girls in Grades 4–7. A control group also contained 24 gifted girls at the same grade levels. On pretest, using the Mathematics Attitude Inventory (MAI), no significant differences were found between groups in their attitudes toward math. The intervention program included problem-solving activities, math-related career options, and self-esteem issues. MAI posttest scores after the 18-week program indicated that the program was effective in changing attitudes toward mathematics of gifted girls in a rural environment.

Abstract:

Considering the unique context of the Al-Bab area in Syria hosting Internally Displaced Persons (IDPs), we tested the role of economic individual self-interest in shaping a host community’s attitude towards IDPs. The findings from analyzing data collected from 496 households indicated that self-interest had a significant effect on their attitudes. Interestingly, when positive and negative attitudes were isolated from each other, the findings revealed that the factors shaping the former may not always be the same for the latter. The particular value of this study is in exploring the host community’s attitude towards IDPs, something which has not been studied and thus contributes to enhancing our knowledge about the attitude towards newcomers.

Abstract:

This study aims to analyze and provide empirical evidence regarding the effect of perceived usefulness and perceived ease of use of non-cash (digital) payments with the use attitude as an intervening variable. The population in this study was the Islamic Community of West Sumatra. The sampling method used in this research was a number of 100 West Sumatran people using quota sampling. Data processing with SmartPLS 3.0 shows the results show perceived benefit has a positive effect on non-cash payments (digital). The higher the perception of benefit, the higher the non-cash payment (digital). Perception of Ease has a positive effect on Non-Cash (Digital) Payments. The higher the perception of ease, the higher the non-cash payment (digital).And Perceptions of Benefit have a positive effect on User Attitudes. The higher the perceived usefulness, the higher the user's attitude. Then the Ease of Perception has a positive effect on User Attitudes. The higher the perception of Ease, the higher the User's Attitude. User Attitudes have a positive effect on Non-Cash (Digital) Payments. The higher the User Attitude, the higher the use of Digital Payments. The indirect effect is greater than the direct effect, so it can be said that the User Attitude variable is perceived as an intervening variable between the Perception of Benefit and Perception of Ease with the Non-Cash Payment (Digital) variable.

Abstract:

Global warming is a problem that must be faced by living things. To reduce global warming by providing Green Open Space (GOS). GOS in the city of Bandar Lampung has experienced a broad decline due to the rampant land conversion as happened at Bukit Sukamenanti, due to the existence of rock mining. The purpose of this study was to determine the attitudes of the community, the relationship between the level of knowledge and attitudes and willingness to pay the community to maintain open green space. The sampling method used was simple random sampling with a total of 93 respondents consisting of 35 miners and 58 non-miners. Data collection uses observation, interview and literature studies. Data analysis using quantitative descriptive analysis techniques. The results of the study is the attitude of the community refused to change land use as much as 66.5%. The level of knowledge has a very significant positive relationship to the attitude of the non mining community, but has a non-significant negative relationship between the level of knowledge and the attitude of the mining community. The higher the level of knowledge the community is not the miner, the more positive his attitude will be. But for the mining community, even though they have a high level of knowledge, they do not have an influence on attitudes because of the economic needs that must be met from mining. Total value of willingness to pay the community to maintain green open space is IDR 89.185.648/month.

Abstract:

This paper attempts to go beyond individual-level explanations of attitudes towards unions by exploring the impact of-community. It is argued that factors operating at the aggregate level of the community help shape local industrial relations. A review of industrial relations literature documents that community constitutes a latent but nonetheless important variable.

Abstract:

SummaryThe community treatment order (CTO) was implemented in 2008 as part of the 2007 amendments to the Mental Health Act 1983. Initially, health professionals and patient groups were sceptical about the successful implementation of CTOs. However, as more than the expected number of patients has been subjected to CTOs in the past 3 years in England and Wales, the professionals' views are shifting in favour of CTOs. More needs to be done to improve the approach and attitude of care providers so that CTOs are used in the most appropriate and effective way for the patients.

Abstract:

The white coat has symbolized professionalism, while representing provider–patient fiduciary relationship. Although well described in the literature for physicians, few studies examine the impact of pharmacist attire on patients’ opinions regarding professionalism and trust. Therefore, understanding patient perceptions regarding pharmacist’s attire and its influence on comfort, confidence, trust, and professionalism may provide guidance on ways to enhance the quality of the provider–patient relationship. A 43-item Likert-type questionnaire was administered to 347 adults in a community pharmacy setting to determine preferences about the pharmacist’s attire, accessories, and body art incorporating 8 photographs depicting a male pharmacist in various degrees of dress formality (ie, casual to professional). Descriptive and inferential statistics were used to summarize and analyze the data. Survey respondents reported it was desirable/strongly desirable that pharmacists be dressed in a shirt and tie, dress shoes, white coat, and name tag (mean 4.21-4.72), whereas they should not be dressed in jeans, casual shoes, or have visible body art (mean 2.17-2.78). Over 86% of the respondents felt that a pharmacist with a white coat instilled feelings of comfort, confidence, trust, and professionalism. In a community pharmacy setting, a pharmacist wearing a white coat appears to be the mainstay in displaying professionalism and inspiring trust in adult patients.

Abstract:

Objective: To determine the attitudes of community pharmacists in six states toward technician employment in their community practice and to relate the effects of these attitudes to pharmacist behavior. Design: Four-part mail questionnaire survey. Sections A and B dealt with pharmacist attitudes toward technicians. Section C was 22 activities common to pharmacy dispensing that pharmacists currently allow technicians to perform. Section D was respondent demographics. Respondents: Licensed, practicing, full-time (>32 h/wk) community pharmacists in six states (Illinois, Iowa, Maine, New York, Texas, Washington). Methods: Attitude scores were assessed (ANOVA analysis) by pharmacist age, daily prescription volume, practice site, current technician employment, and state laws. The collective attitude scores (A plus B) were compared with activity scores for correlation between attitude and activities. Results: Overall, responding pharmacists were favorable toward technician use. ANOVA disclosed significant differences for pharmacist age, prescription volume, practice site, and employment of technicians. The top four activities pharmacists allowed technicians to perform were: (1) type labels, (2) select drugs from stock, (3) count needed amount of drugs, and (4) receive refill drug orders. The four least-allowed technician activities were: (1) compound intravenous solutions, (2) verify other technicians' work, (3) provide patients with drug information, and (4) verify completed drug orders. Spearman's r, showed consistency (0.335) between attitudes and activities allowed. Conclusions: Pharmacists approve of technician use, are comfortable with a clinically oriented counseling role, do not feel threatened by increased technician use, are willing to accept the additional professional liability technician use brings, and favor a formally structured technician training program.

Abstract:

This study determined community knowledge, attitudes, and practices after COVID-19 socialization in Rambipuji and Suci Village, Jember District, East Java, Indonesia. This study used the analytic observational design study. As many as 40 people were given socialization about COVID-19 by gathering and online. The questionnaires were completed in two parts included before-socialization and after-socialization. The questionnaire data were analyzed descriptively by calculating frequency, percentage, and inferential statistics by t-test, Spearman correlation, and chi-square test. The data analysis used IBM SPSS version 23 software. The mean and standard deviation of percentage of knowledge pre-test, knowledge post-test, high attitude, moderate attitude, low attitude, very high practice, high practice, sufficient practice, and low practice were 58.33 ± 30.97, 77.70 ± 22.52, 62.5±21.7, 31±22.2, 6.5±17.1, 65±13.8, 32.3±13.8, 1.25±2.4, 1.25±1.8, respectively. Knowledge pre-test and post-test correlated 0.819 (p=0.001) and a t-test with p=0.003. Attitudes and practices correlated with p=0.001. Socialization of COVID-19 was useful to improve the community knowledge, attitudes, and practices in Rambipuji and Suci Village, Jember District, East Java, Indonesia that could prevent the transmission and inhibit the spread of the COVID-19 pandemic in Indonesia. Furthermore, continuous encouragement of COVID-19 socialization in wide areas was recommended.

Abstract:

Purpose In the context of crowdsourced new product development (NPD), the purpose of this paper is to investigate the optimal level of community involvement (CI) (e.g. zero, limited, and high) when creating products from the perspectives of both ordinary and advanced users. The authors also investigate the influence of design interest and need for social affiliation on users’ attitudes toward and willingness to use community co-design. Design/methodology/approach The authors conducted two survey studies using ordinary (Study 1, n=199) and advanced users (Study 2, n=131) to evaluate the co-designed T-shirts reflecting varying levels of CI (i.e. zero, limited, and high). The stimuli for both studies were the same and included ten sets of T-shirt co-designs generated from a CI crowdsourced website, Threadless. Fishbein’s (1963) multi-attribute attitude model was used to compute subjects’ overall attitude score toward the T-shirt co-designs. Findings Results showed both ordinary and advanced user groups rated the design quality of products reflecting limited CI lower than those of zero CI. Advanced users also rated the design quality and sales potential of products from limited CI lower than those of high CI. Further, advanced users indicated that products resulting from high CI reflected significantly better designs with regard to color, shape/line, size, general theme, and overall design as compared to products from limited CI. Design interest as well as need for social affiliation influenced users’ willingness to use community co-design and their attitudes toward a community co-design experience. Originality/value The research made an important differentiation between zero, limited, and high CI during the co-design process as well as between ordinary users and advanced users contributed to the extant literature addressing crowdsourcing in NPD.

Abstract:

Objective. There are no studies that have explored attitudes towards mental illness that are held by rural primary healthcare (PHC) providers. The aim of this study was to conduct evidential and comparative research about attitudes towards mental illness among primary healthcare providers from different mental health service models in China rural communities.Methods. A self-administered questionnaire was conducted with a total of 361 rural primary healthcare providers engaged in mental health service delivery.Results. Total attitude score mark of rural primary healthcare providers shows that most PHC providers still held pessimistic and negative attitude towards mental illness patients. 71.3% of respondents agreed that “the mental patients often impulsively perform destruction of property”; 72.9% agreed that “mental patients are burdens to the families and society.” There are also positive correlations between attitudes and abilities of primary healthcare providers to mental illness.Conclusion. This study provides baseline evidence that primary healthcare providers in rural China hold negative attitudes towards mental illness. It is critical to improve negative attitudes and understanding about the importance of the management of severe mental illness among rural primary healthcare workers in mental health services. We should take comprehensive methods to enrich primary healthcare providers’ professional knowledge about mental illness and eliminate discrimination and inappropriate perception against the mental illness.

ABSTRACTThis study uses a quantitative method entitled The effect of the communication campaign on the "BOGOH KA BOGOR" movement towards changes in people's attitudes. This study discusses how much influence the "Bogoh Ka Bogor" campaign has on the attitudes of the people of Bogor City. In this study, the independent variable is the communication campaign while the dependent variable is the change in community attitudes. The population is 104120 people, with a sample of 100 people. The sampling technique used is stratified random sampling. The hypothesis used is a statistical hypothesis.Based on the results of the multiple regression analysis that has been done shows that based on the t test it is known that the probability value of the t-count for variable X1 that is community characteristics is greater than the significant level of 0.05 (5%) which means that the respondent's characteristic variables have influence but not significantly towards community attitudes.The t-test results for the communication campaign variable showed that the t-count probability value was smaller than the significance level of 0.05 (5%), which means that the communication campaign variable affected the attitudes of the people of Bogor, Bogor Tengah sub-district. The results of multiple regression testing obtained a regression coefficient of 0,000 with a significance value of 0,000 0.05, meaning that the communication campaign has a positive effect on community attitudes, so if the communication campaign is improved the public attitude will increase. Based on the results of the F test this study showed that the two variables X1 and X2 with the F test produced p value = 0,000. Because the p value is 0,000 0.05, based on the results of the F test or the simultaneous test shows the characteristics of the community (X1) and the communication campaign (X2) simultaneously influence on changes in community attitudes. Adjusted R-Square value of 0.481 This means that individual characteristics and communication campaigns have a proposition of influence on community attitudes of 48.1% while the remaining 51.9% (100% - 48.1%) are influenced by other variables that are not in the regression model linear Keywords: Communication Campaign, BOGOH KA BOGOR, Public Attitude

Abstract:

Youthful drug use violates both formal law and informal norms for conventional behavior. Analyses of influences on permissive drug attitudes and behaviors among adolescents should, therefore, focus on both attitude toward the law and the informal normative climate of these youths. Legal attitude and norm qualities, however, can vary depending on the cultural and situational context. We examine the effect of legal attitude and norm qualities on drug permissiveness attitudes, as well as actual alcohol and marijuana use of 196 adolescents comprising three cultural groups: American Indian residents of a rural community, non-Indian residents of the same community, and transient Indians attending a job-training program in the community. In general, for all three groups, legal attitude primarily affects permissiveness toward drug use, while norm qualities of peers and personal permissiveness influence actual substance use. However, the three cultural groups vary in the relative salience of these variables.
