Currently, the population of over 65 years old is 13.3% in Taiwan. The average life expectancy of 65 years old is 19.98 years. It’s mean that the elderly need more and more health maintenance for life expectancy. Therefore, the study made the beneficial strategies for elderly health promotion focus on relationship between quality of Life and Self-discipline behavior. This study sample is the big community which has over 900 families in New Taipei City. The study through 247 questionnaires and were collected 216 valid questionnaires from 65+ years in the case community. There were three conclusions in the study. (1) The significant factors affecting the quality of life of the elderly include age, living status, and education, number of income sources, disposable amount, and number of diseases. (2) The willingness to promote health is positively correlated with the performance of self- regulation. (3) The health promotion willingness and health Self-discipline behaviors are not the moderation variables of life quality. The study showed that the Self-discipline behavior needs to be early in order to have a meaningful impact on the quality of life

Full textThis thesis comprises three chapters about musculoskeletal discomfort (MSD) in veterinarians. Two of these chapters have been submitted to peer reviewed journals and one is in preparation for submission. The first chapter describes the prevalence and risk factors associated with MSD in New Zealand veterinarians. The second chapter is a paper on the tasks considered by veterinarians to cause MSD. The third chapter is a review of published literature on musculoskeletal problems (MSP) in veterinarians. The first chapter in this thesis describes a cross-sectional study of 867 New Zealand veterinarians. We used a modified Nordic musculoskeletal questionnaire to enquire about the presence or absence of MSD, whether this affected normal activities and if MSD necessitated absenteeism from work. Additional questions enquired about work activities, psychosocial factors and workload. The overall period prevalence of MSD was 96%. Normal activities were affected in 67% and 18% of participants reported that they had been absent from work due to MSD. Factors associated with the presence of MSD requiring time off work for clinical veterinarians included 10 year increases in age (odds ratio (OR) 1.26, 95% CI 1.05 - 1.52), work involving awkward grip and hand movements 100% of time (OR 12.91, 95% CI 3.46 – 84.21) and those who were dissatisfied with the level and difficulty of their work (OR 2.72, 95% CI 1.11 - 6.56). In the second chapter in this thesis, veterinarians were asked to indicate tasks that they considered ‘most likely to lead to musculoskeletal aches and pains’ and ‘why these tasks were likely to be the most risky’. They were also asked to suggest ‘any solutions that they applied or knew of’ to reduce musculoskeletal aches and pains. They identified the following tasks: lifting, surgery, rectal palpations and animal handling. Their reasons were primarily related to physical risk factors. Few identified psychosocial risk factors. The most common suggested solutions involved training and selection strategies rather than redesign of tasks, activities or facilities. These findings are consistent with a participatory ergonomics approach for reducing the risk of MSD, which aims to enhance personal well-being and improved system performance. The third chapter in this thesis - a review of the literature - focuses on the prevalence and nature (discomfort, pain, injury and disorders) of MSP amongst veterinarians. Veterinarians are exposed to a range of physical and psychosocial occupational hazards that have been well documented and associated with MSP. The range of reported prevalence estimates in this review was 50% to 96%. This range may reflect real differences among the veterinary populations studied, or more likely be due to differences in MSP definitions, study methodologies, and response rates. The magnitude of the reported prevalence justifies further research to triangulate data and determine other factors associated with MSD. Most of the studies in the review focused on physical risk factors. The lack of studies into psychosocial risk factors for MSP needs to be addressed.

The purpose of this study is to investigate lesbian and gay stressor, stress coping strategy and mental health status case in the high and low degree of homosexual identity. The subjects of this study are gay and lesbian living in Taiwan. The research method is Internet questionnaire investigation. The total returned questionnaires were 414. The data was analyzed by descriptive statistics, Chi-square test, T test, multiple regression. The research tools are “homosexual mental health status questionnaire” developed by this study, “Symptom Check List-90-Revised (SCL-90-R), and “The Gay Identity Questionnaire (GIQ). The major findings of this research were as follow: 1.Regardless of gender differences, for percentage of people on stressors ” I'm afraid the family does not accept my gay identity”, “Students spread ridicule, belittle gay jokes in school”, “There are no friends to share things of mind”, “Coming out may lose existing work”, “Lack of support or discuss couple relationship object”and “Introduction object or marriage”, group of low homosexual identity significantly higher than the group of high homosexual identity. 2.For percentage of people on stressors “Teacher's attitude is not clear in support of homosexuality”and “Not actively promote the concept of homosexuality in schools”,group of high gay identity significantly higher than the group of low gay identity; for percentage of people on stressors “I would worry about my family does not accept my lover”and “People pay attention to my lover's intimacy with the action”, group of low lesbian identity significantly higher than the group of high lesbian identity. 3.Regardless of gender differences, for percentage of people on stress coping methods “correct others’ misconceptions about homosexuality”,”coming out” and “Initiative for homosexual speech”, group of high homosexual identity significantly higher than the group of low homosexual identity; for percentage of people on stress coping methods “avoid similar homosexual behavior”, “disguised as heterosexual”, “repressed feelings by same-sex attraction”and “avoid talking about the topic of marriage”, group of low homosexual identity significantly higher than the group of high homosexual identity. 4.The score of “obsessive-compulsive”, ”interpersonal-sensitivity”, ”depression”, ”anxiety”, “paranoid” and “psychoticism”, group of low gay identity significantly higher than the group of high gay identity; the scores of “obsessive compulsive”, group of low lesbian identity significantly higher than the group of high lesbian identity. 5.“Mental health self-assessment”,”the stressor of social attitudes”,“the stress coping of use drug” and “the stress coping of use behavior to vent their emotions” could reflect the scores of SCL-90-R.

Full textUntreated Obstructive Sleep Apnoea Syndrome (OSAS) increases the risk of motor vehicle accidents and morbidity. Its prevalence among taxi drivers is unknown. The goals of this thesis were to: (1) estimate the prevalence of OSAS symptoms and risk factors among taxi drivers; and (2) identify the barriers to accessing health care services for the diagnosis and treatment of OSAS. Between June and July 2004 questionnaires were mailed to 651 taxi drivers from two Wellington taxi companies (response rate 41.3%, n=241). Excessive daytime sleepiness (ESS>10) was reported by 18% of drivers. The estimated proportion with a pre-test risk of OSA (RDI≥ 15/hour) was 15%, according to a questionnaire-based screening tool. Pacific drivers were more likely to report OSAS symptoms than people of "other" (non-Māori) ethnicities. Logistic regression analyses identified the following independent risk factors for OSAS symptoms: increasing neck size, age groups: 46-53 years and 61-76 years, and self-reported snoring 'always'. Three focus groups were conducted in November 2004. Thematic analyses identified the following barriers to accessing health care: (1) sleepiness was not a perceived health problem; (2) personal demands; (3) industry demands; and (4) driver avoidance and dissatisfaction with general practitioner's services. Detailed examination of these themes indicated that drivers were deterred from seeking care by limited knowledge and awareness of OSAS, confusion about responsibility for health and safety, medical costs, and the risk of finding out about other health conditions. General practitioners reportedly failed to screen for OSAS symptoms and demonstrated little knowledge about sleep health. These barriers are a major cause for concern, and they are used to support the belief that earning a living is more important than personal health and safety. The key finding is that improving drivers' knowledge is unlikely to change their behaviour, without concurrent measures to address systemic issues in the taxi industry and in the health care system.

Full textThe practice of sleep medicine is expanding and evolving rapidly, often ahead of the evidence base to support clinical practice. Obstructive Sleep Disordered Breathing (SDB) is a condition characterised by repetitive airway collapse causing harmful intermittent blood oxygen desaturations and fragmented sleep. When combined with daytime sleepiness it is known as Obstructive Sleep Apnoea Syndrome (OSAS). Continuous Positive Airway Pressure (CPAP) eliminates SDB by pneumatically splinting open the airway with positive air pressure applied through the nose and/or mouth. CPAP effectively reduces daytime sleepiness in patients with severe OSAS. However, doubt remains as to the effectiveness of CPAP in the majority of patients with mild-moderate OSAS. The effects of CPAP were compared to a placebo CPAP during a three week crossover Randomised Controlled Trial (RCT) that included 31 mild-moderate OSAS patients. CPAP effectively eliminated SDB (when worn) and moderately improved subjective sleepiness. But. it did not improve objective wakefulness, mood, psychomotor function, or quality of life. Patients who were extremely sleepy at baseline tended to gain the most placebo adjusted benefit from treatment. A systematic review and meta-analysis aimed to gather and objectively combine all relevant RCT studies to find our whether CPAP reduced sleepiness in patients with mild-moderate OSAS. Seven trials were combined and showed that both subjective sleepiness and objective wakefulness were slightly improved by CPAP therapy. Objective sleepiness was not improved by CPAP. It is not clear from these two studies that treating mild-moderate OSAS with CPAP is an effective use of resources. CPAP effectiveness might be limited by sub-optimal compliance. C-Flex aims to improve compliance by modulating pressure during exhalation. C-Flex was compared to CPAP during a pilot RCT that included 19 patients with severe OSAS. C-Flex was associated with a non-significant increase in compliance of 1.7 hours/night compared to CPAP. However, this increase in compliance was not associated with better daytime patient outcomes. Further experiments are proposed as a result of our pilot RCT. This thesis helps expand evidence-based sleep medicine. Practitioners need to be vigilant, ensuring that treatments are effective in the patients groups in which they are being used (clinical drift), and that new treatments are not adopted without superiority over existing treatments (technological drift).
