Full textThis dissertation explores the social, cultural, and political effects of the “Great Church Crisis,” a conflict between the Protestant and Anglo-Catholic (or Ritualist) parties within the Church of England occurring between 1898 and 1906. Through a series of case studies, including an examination of the role of religious controversy in fin-de-siècle Parliamentary politics, it shows that religious belief and practice were more important in turn-of-the-century Britain than has been appreciated. The argument that the onset of secularization in Britain as defined by both a decline in religious attendance and personal belief can be pushed back until at least the 1920s or 1930s is not new. Yet, the insight that religious belief and practice remained a constituent part of late-Victorian and Edwardian national identity and public life has thus far failed to penetrate political, social, and cultural histories of the period. This dissertation uses the Great Church Crisis to explore the interaction between religious belief and political and social behavior, not with the intent of reducing religion to an expression of political and social stimuli, but with the goal of illuminating the ways politics, culture, and social thought functioned as bearers of religious concerns. The intense anti-Catholicism unleashed by the Church Crisis triggered debate about British national identity, Erastianism, and the nature of the church-state relationship. Since the Reformation, Erastians – supporters of full state control of the church – and proponents of a more independent church had argued over how to define the proper relationship between the national church and state. This dissertation demonstrates that the Church Crisis represents a crucial period in the history of church-state relations because the eventual Anglo-Catholic victory ended Parliamentary attempts to control the church’s theology and practice and, therefore, sounded the death knell of political Erastianism. In short, tensions between Protestant and Catholics reached a high water mark during the years of the Great Church Crisis. These tensions catalyzed both a temporary revival of Erastianism and its ultimate descent into irrelevance

Full textBACKGROUND: Breast cancer survivors experience a range of needs in the post-treatment phase as they transition into survivorship and beyond. The transition to survivorship requires breast cancer survivors to actively engage in self-managing their care, but little is known about patient engagement into survivorship care and what factors may contribute to this. Information is needed to further explore patient engagement into survivorship care, what factors may contribute to it and which patients are more likely to engage in their care and thus be better equipped to self-manage during survivorship. PURPOSE: The purpose of this study was to explore how demographic/personal factors and survivorship outcomes are related to and may contribute to patient engagement in early stage breast cancer survivors. METHODS: A cross-sectional, web-based self-report national survey was conducted using measures assessing personal/demographic factors, survivorship outcomes: health-related quality of life (HRQOL), fear of cancer recurrence (FCR), cancer health literacy (CHL) and two measures of patient engagement (patient activation (PA) and knowing participation in change (KPC). There was one open-ended question regarding additional survivorship concerns, not addressed in the previous survey items. Participants were recruited using Dr. Susan Love’s Army of Women Research Foundation and Craigslist. Data were analyzed via bivariate associations and backwards linear regression modeling in SPSS. RESULTS: The final sample included 303 participants (301 females and 2 males) with a mean age of 50.70 years. The sample was predominantly White, non-Hispanic and equally dispersed across the United States. Patient engagement, as represented by PA and KPC, was significantly correlated with 13 predictor variables and there were 10 predictor variables that resulted in significant ANOVA relationships with PA and KPC. In both the KPC and PA regression models, HRQOL significantly predicted for patient engagement. In the KPC regression model, social support and level of education also significantly predicted for patient engagement and receipt of a survivorship care plan contributed unique variance to the model. The open-ended question response categories included: physical concerns, mental health concerns, financial toxicity, social support, body image concerns, other concerns or no concerns/none. CONCLUSIONS: This study provides preliminary evidence that personal/demographic factors and survivorship outcomes may contribute to patient engagement in breast cancer survivors. Using assessment tools that measure factors such as HRQOL, social support, education level and patient engagement may give providers some insight as to which survivors may be ready to engage in survivorship care and those that may need more resources and/or support. Additional studies are needed to replicate and validate these results. More research is needed aimed at maximizing patient-centered care, patient engagement and ultimately improving SC. Keywords: breast cancer survivor, survivorship, patient engagement, health-related quality of life, social support

Full textTidigare forskning har visat att tids- och riskpreferenser är viktiga faktorer när man försöker förklara olika beteendemönster, såsom rökning, övervikt och sparande. Vi fokuserar på tids- och riskpreferensers effekt på finansiellt beteende och finansiellt välmående. Finansiellt beteende mäts genom tolv frågor, där individer exempelvis anger hur ofta man sparar eller använder kreditkort. För att mäta finansiellt välmående, konstruerar vi ett mått baserat på individens självupplevda nuvarande och framtida ekonomiska tillstånd. Tidspreferenser mäts genom “matching questions” och vi använder flera riskmått, både individers angedda riskattityder och riskfyllda val som visas genom riskfyllda spel. Våra resultat visar att ökat tålamod på kort sikt leder till bättre finansiellt beteende. Dessutom uppvisar individer med högre finansiella riskattityder bättre finansiellt beteende. I motsats till detta uppvisar dock, vid faktiska beslut, förlustaversiva individer bättre finansiellt beteende. Finansiellt välmående påverkas, å andra sidan, positivt av både kort- och långsiktigt tålamod. Det förbättras också av både högre generella och finansiella riskattityder. De riskfyllda valen påverkar inte finansiellt välmående. Vi visar att tidspreferenser påverkar riskpreferenser. Att ha högre tålamod på kort sikt leder till högre finansiell riskattityd och ökar sannolikheten för att vara förlustaversiv, medan det minskar sannolikheten att vara riskaversiv. Våra resultat är viktiga för att förstå heterogen finansiell beslutsfattning och det finansiella välmående det leder till. Denna kvantitativa studie baseras på ett stort, representativt sampel av den svenska befolkningen (N=2063).

Aim: Despite increasing application of health-related quality of life (HRQoL) on various diseased populations, few existing studies have examined the difference in HRQoL between people with non-medical use (NMU) and those with medical use (MU) of prescription drugs. This study aims to examine the relationships among socio-demographic characteristics, NMU or MU of prescription drugs, and self-reported HRQoL among the general population in Taiwan. Methods: Participants (N = 17,837) of 2014 National Survey of Substance Use completed a computer-assisted self-interview questionnaire with information on their socio-demographic characteristics, use of sedatives/hypnotics and analgesics, as well as the EuroQOL five dimensions questionnaire (EQ-5D), among others. Participants’ use of sedatives/hypnotics or analgesics were classified into non-use, medical-use (MU), ex-NMU, or current NMU. Individual dimensions and the visual analogue scale (VAS) in EQ-5D were compared among subgroups of different socio-demographic characteristics and prescription drug use. Quantile regressions of VAS were conducted on socio-demographic characteristics and prescription drug uses. Results: Among the participants, prevalence of MU, ex-NMU and current NMU of sedatives/hypnotics were 8.31%, 0.89%, and 0.71%, respectively, and the counterparts for analgesics were 6.91%, 1.93%, and 3.02%. The mean EQ-VAS among the participants was 78.8 (S.E. = 0.3). Results from multi-variable quantile regressions showed that participants who were male, 25-34 years old, having an educational attainment of college or above, single, living in urban areas, having MU or NMU of sedatives/hypnotics or analgesics were more likely to report lower EQ-VAS, especially in the lower quantiles. Age, education, and use of sedatives/hypnotics were the strongest correlates of poor EQ-VAS. For sedatives/hypnotics, people with current NMU had greater negative effects than those with MU, while there were no significant differences between MU and current NMU for analgesics. Conclusions: In Taiwanese general population, unexpected poor HRQoL for young adults with college degree was observed. Meanwhile, current NMU of prescription drugs, especially sedatives/hypnotics, were also associated with poor HRQoL. Keywords: Health related quality of life, EQ-5D, non-medical use of prescription drugs, sedatives, analgesics, quantile regression

Objective: This cross-sectional study was conducted to explore the difference of perceived health status and life styles among elderly population of obese group and not-obese group in Taiwan. Materials and Methods: This study utilized cross-sectional data from the Bureau of Health Promotion, Department of Health in Taiwan. The information was collected during the National Survey on Health Promotion Knowledge, Attitude, and Practice (HP-KAP Survey) in 2002. This population-based cross-sectional survey was conducted by face-to-face interview of 26,755 Taiwanese, and had a response rate of 81.9%. The participants (596 obese and 3343 non-obese) in our study were aged 65 and over. Means, percentages, Chi-Square test, Spearman rank-order correlation and Logistic regression were used for data analysis. Results: The prevalence of obesity among Taiwanese elderly was 12.8% in men and 17.7% in women. When using Spearman rank-order method to analyze the obese group, prominent correlations were found between the current perceived health status and chronic diseases, such as hypertension, hyperlipidemia, heart disease, stroke, diabetes mellitus, osteoporosis, and renal disease. Similar results were seen within the non-obese group. When using Logistic regression, a correlation was identified in the elderly population in which those being older(OR= 1.03, 95% CI: 1.01- 1.04), non-exercisers (OR= 2.23, 95% CI: 1.92- 2.58), having more chronic diseases(OR= 1.62, 95% CI: 1.53- 1.72), living independently(OR= 1.27, 95% CI: 1.01- 1.60), visiting Western clinic(OR= 2.12, 95% CI: 1.81- 2.50), visiting Chinese clinic(OR= 1.74, 95% CI: 1.36- 2.23) and visiting alternative medicine clinic(OR= 1.39, 95% CI: 1.02- 1.88) in the past 1 month usually reported a poorer self-perceived health status. Significant correlation of age, BMI, hypertension, heart disease, diabetes mellitus, and the habit of smoking with obesity was found using Spearman rank-order correlation. After adjusting for age, gender, and years of formal education, logistic regression showed the risk of obesity was higher in elderly betel nut chewers than non-chewers(OR= 1.63, 95% CI: 1.01- 2.61) and elderly ex-smokers of cigarettes than non-smokers (OR = 1.46, 95% CI: 1.07 - 1.97). Conclusions: Perceived health status among elderly population is correlated with the presence of chronic diseases as well as regular exercise. Therefore, our health care systems should be fully aware of these issues and consequently provide better control or care for those elderly patients with chronic diseases and simultaneously encourage them to participate more in regular exercise. More attention to the relationship between betel nut chewing and obesity in the elderly should be paid by our health care system to provide better care for this subgroup of obese elderly.

The objectives that guided this report aimed to establish a connection between the Golegã cultural heritage and the History School Program in the Basic and Secondary teaching levels. The completion of this Work Project Report required a survey of the Golegã, Entroncamento and Torres Novas cultural heritage. The chapter that dealed with the local heritage studied the Parish Church, the “Pelourinho”, The House of Carlos Relvas, the Typewriter and the Martins Correia Municipal Museums, located in Golegã, the National Railway Museum, in Entroncamento and the Roman Ruins of Vila Cardilio, located in Torres Novas. The sudy of this monuments and museums aimed to clarify which ones could be framed in the objectives of the 8th, 10th 11th and 12th school years, taught under the Supervised Teaching Internship. The last chapter of this report approaches three case studies, about the Golegã Parish Church, the Roman Ruins of Vila Cardílio and the National Railway Museum. As part of these three case studies, we created school lessons and visit plans, didactic and pedagogic instruments like powerpoint presentations, tests, chronologies and school visit guides. This work established a connection between the History School Programs and the museums and cultural heritage of these three municipalities, Golegã, Entroncamento and Torres Novas.
