Abstract:
School-aged children’s health needs have changed over the last several decades to the present day population of many overweight and obese children with health complications (Centers for Disease Control & Prevention, 2015). Tennessee has implemented the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s (CDC) model for Coordinated School Health (CSH) in all public schools. Leading each school district’s program is a CSH Coordinator. The role of CSH Coordinators is to provide leadership to district and school administrators while effectively and efficiently implementing the CSH program (Wechsler, 2012). The purpose of this quantitative study was to explore the self-perceived leadership styles and practices of Tennessee CSH Coordinators. The focus of many public health initiatives in America is childhood health. Research conducted by the CDC has shown that school health interventions have been effective in improving physical activity, comprehensive health education, and nutrition. Good health is essential for academic success (McKenzie & Richmond, 1998). CSH Coordinators are the leaders of health for school systems (Wechsler, 2012). How these individuals implement the CDC model for CSH varies based on leadership style and practices. Many studies exist on the topic of CSH but few consider the people leading the program (Strickland, 2012). By obtaining information regarding the leadership style of current CSH Coordinators, this research provides insight into best practices and continuing education for current and future leaders. The study population consisted of all 137 Tennessee CSH Coordinators. Seventy (51.1%) CSH Coordinators participated in the demographic, best practices, and Multifactor Leadership Questionnaire (Appendix A). Findings indicated that all of the CSH Coordinators self-reported leadership style was transformational. There were no significant differences reported between the degree to which CSH Coordinator identified as transformational leaders compared by years of experience, gender, school district size, education level, and number of best practices implemented.

Abstract:
Official-language minorities in Canada may face specific issues in accessing health care services that can lead to negative consequences on their health, utilization of health care services and satisfaction with the health care system. A secondary data analysis of the 2006 Survey on the Vitality of Official-Language Minorities revealed significant differences between the Anglophone minority (n=5,161) and the Francophone minority (n=12,029) with regards to general health, and access to and use of health care services. Important predictors of these outcomes included age, education level, household income, marital status and place of residence (urban/rural). Access to health care services in the minority language was associated with self-perceived health in the Anglophone minority only. Health policy recommendations elaborated in light of the findings include working on both the supply and the demand of health care services offered in the two official languages, while taking into consideration important contextual differences between regions.

Abstract:

The purpose of the study was two fold: a) to develop and to test the Perceived Health & Exercise Participation Profile (PH&EPP); b) to examine the relationship between exercisers’ perceived health, goal orientation, physical self perception and exercise satisfaction. The sample consists of 126 exercisers (43 Male, 83 Female with mean age 35.6 ± 9). The study included a new questionnaire - the Perceived Health & Exercise Participation Profile (PH&EPP) and three other instruments: 1) Physical Self-Perception Profile (PSPP); 2)Task & Ego orientation in Sport Questionnaire (TEOSQ); and 3) Rosenberg's Self-Esteem (RSE) Scale. The data were analyzed through SPSS 13.0 using Alpha coefficient, test-rest reliability, bivariate correlation and analysis of variance (ANOVA). Cronbach’s Alpha was satisfied

( .70) at 5 of 6 subscales. The test-retest reliability reached to significant level (ranging from .43 to .76) for all subscales. The majority of PH&EPP’s subscales reached to significant correlations except Health and Exercise as Life Values. The Satisfaction with Health and Exercise Participation reached to significant correlations with all PSPP’s subscales, Task goal orientation, and RSE except Ego goal orientation. The Perception of Exercisers obtained significant correlations at 3 of 5 PSPP’s subscales. Exercisers indicated more task goal orientation than ego goal orientation. The results are discussed from the point of view of the Perceived Health and Sport/Exercise Participation model.

Abstract:
Self-reported health (SRH) is an important part of the multidimensional construct health related quality of life (HRQL). SRH in the elderly is particularly important, as their absolute and relative numbers are increasing worldwide. In elderly patients, self-reported health is strongly associated with the adverse health outcomes of aging. Knowledge about factors affecting SRH would be informative for ongoing health management of elderly persons. The literature is consistent that aspects of function are important contributors to SRH, making 'function' an important target for prevention and rehabilitation in the elderly. The main objective of this study was to identify, for a community dwelling older population, the extent to which indicators of functional status contribute to general health perception over and above known personal and health related contributors, and to ascertain whether the profile of contributors remains stable over one year. A longitudinal study of a population-based sample of 215 community-dwelling individuals 65 years of age and older, recruited randomly in 1995 from Montreal area, was carried out. Ordinal regression was applied at study entry and twelve months later. The main outcome - self- reported health was measured with the General Health Perception Scale from the Medical Outcomes Study 36-item Short Form (SF-36). Half of the sample was stable (43%) and an equal proportion of people improved or deteriorated. Fatigue was a factor predicting both SRH at study entry and change over time; social engagement was a factor predicting change as was physical function. This information could indicate that worsening fatigue, loss of social engagement and deteriorating physical function could be early warning signs of deteriorating health and these may appear before the effects are detected using standard medical investigations.
L`Auto-évaluation de la santé (AES) est un élément important de la structure multidimensionnelle de la qualité de vie liée à la santé (QVLS). L'AES est particulièrement important chez les patients âgés, car le nombre absolu et relatif de cette population augmente dans le monde. Chez les patients âgés, l'AES est fortement associée à des évènements de santé négatifs dû au vieillissement. La connaissance des facteurs influençant l'AES serait informatif pour la gestion du suivi de la santé des personnes âgées. La littérature est cohérente en soulignant que des aspects de la fonctionnalité des personnes contribuent de façon importantes à l'AES, ce qui fait de la 'fonctionnalité' une cible importante pour la prévention et la réadaptation chez les personnes âgées. L'objectif principal de cette étude était d'identifier, pour une population âgée vivant dans la collectivité, jusqu'à quelle point les indicateurs de l'état fonctionnel contribuent à la perception générale de la santé au-delà des contributeurs personnels et ceux reliés à la santé qui sont déjà connus, et d'établir si le profil de ces contributeurs demeure stable au cours d'une année. Une étude longitudinale d'un échantillon de la population fut réalisée. Cette étude comporte 215 individus de 65 ans et plus vivant dans la communauté et qui furent recrutés de façon aléatoire en 1995 dans la région de Montréal. Le principal résultat, qui est l'auto-évaluation de la santé a été mesuré avec l'échelle de perception générale de la santé provenant du 'Medical Outcomes Study 36-item Short Form SF-36 '. La moitié de l'échantillon est demeurée stable (43%) et une proportion égale de personnes se sont améliorées ou détériorées.
La fatigue est un facteur qui prédisait à la fois l'AES à l'entrée dans l'étude et les changements dans le temps; l'engagement social était un facteur qui prédisait les changements tout comme le fonctionnement physique. Cette information pourrait indiquer que l'aggravation de la fatigue, la perte de l'engagement social et la détérioration du fonctionnement physique peuvent être des signes avant-coureurs de détérioration de la santé et ceux-ci pourraient apparaître avant que les effets ne soient détectés à l'aide des investigations médicales standards.

Abstract:
Bakgrund Äldre personer i Uganda lider av dålig hälsa på grund av åldersdiskriminering och de upplever en bristfällig tillgång till hälso- och sjukvård. Även kvinnor utgör en grupp som har sämre tillgång till sjukvård på grund av könsdiskriminering vilket påverkar deras hälsa negativt. Syfte Syftet med denna studie var att utforska självupplevd hälsa samt faktorer som påverkar hälsan hos äldre kvinnor i Uganda. Metod Detta är en explorativ studie där en  kvalitativ metod användes och semistrukturerade intervjuer genomfördes. En kvalitativ innehållsanalys av datan gjordes och resultatet har diskuterats utifrån ett insektionellt teoretiskt ramverk. Resultat Innehållsanalysen resulterade i sju kategorier, nämligen; Självupplevd hälsa; Förändringar av dagliga aktiviteter relaterat till dålig hälsa; Brist på familjestöd; Dålig inkomst; Tillgång till sjukvård; Att inte ha råd med behandling; och Respektlöshet och misshandel. Kvinnorna i denna studie led av olika sjukdomar och smärtsamma tillstånd. Familjestöd var en viktig faktor och de som saknade stöd från familjen upplevde svårigheter att klara sig. Vissa kvinnor som inte hade något stöd hade inga möjligheter att söka sjukvård och få behandling. Vissa av de intervjuade kvinnorna upplevde diskriminering och blev misshandlade av yngre personer. Slutsats Vissa av de intervjuade kvinnorna led mycket av sjukdomar och smärta men levde utan smärtlindring och behandling. För vissa av de intervjuade kvinnorna ledde ålders- och könsdiskriminering kombinerat med låg socio-ekonimisk status och brist på familjestöd till en låg livskvalitet och dålig hälsa.
Background Older people in Uganda suffer from poor health due to a societal marginalization in the form of discrimination and inequitable access to health services. Women’s access to healthcare is also limited and there are different forms of discrimination against women in the Ugandan society which affect their health negatively. Study objective The objective of this study was to explore in depth the self-perceived health of older women in Uganda, as well as factors that influence their health. Methods This is an explorative study with a qualitative method and semi-structured interviews were carried out. The data was analyzed using a qualitative content analysis and an intersectional framework was used to discuss the results. Results The content analysis resulted in seven categories, namely; Self-perceived health; Changes of daily activities related to poor health; Lacking family support; Poor source of income; Accessing healthcare; Cannot afford treatment; and Disrespect and abuse. The women in this study suffered from various illnesses and pain. Family support was important to these women and those who lacked assistance from family members had a difficult time getting by. Some women who lacked assistance had no means to access health care and some women experienced mistreatment and abuse from younger people. Conclusion For some of the interviewed women, discrimination based on gender and age coupled with low socio-economic status and lack of family support resulted in a very fragile livelihood accompanied by a low quality of life and poor health.

Abstract:

The purpose of this study was twofold: (a) to develop and to test the Perceived Health & Sport Participation Profile (PHSPP) Questionnaire; (b) to examine the relationship between athletes’ perceived health, goal orientation, self-esteem, physical self perception and sport satisfaction. The main theoretical framework used in this study is the Perceived Health & Sport Participation model (PH&SP) (Stambulova, Johnson, Lindwall & Hinic, 2005). A package of five questionnaires was completed by 139 competitive athletes representing different types and levels of sport. The data treatment involved descriptive statistics, correlation, factor, and regression analyses performed with the SPSS. A test-re-test was also performed on the PHSPP questionnaire with 30 subjects.

The study confirmed major parts of the PH&SP-model and its link to some established concepts and theories, e.g., athletic identity and goal orientation. Factor analyses of the PHSPP resulted in eight extracted factors explaining 61.46% of the total variance of the questionnaire with alpha values between 0.71 and 0.89 for all the factors. Test-re-test reliability appeared as satisfactory. Regression analyses showed that social influences on athletes contribute more to unhealthy than to healthy sport participation. Analyses also confirmed that healthy sport participation contributes to satisfaction with health and sport participation, and unhealthy sport participation contributes to dissatisfaction with health and sport participation. The results are discussed in relation to the corresponding literature and the PH&SP-model.

Key words: competitive athletes, perceived health, social influences, sport satisfaction.

Full text
Abstract:
My research brings together two areas of sociological inquiry. The first area involves the study of the welfare state and the second the determinants of health status. Drawing on Esping-Andersen's work concerning a particular aspect of the welfare state, decommodification, two questions are of interest. First, are individuals in countries with more decommodifying welfare states less likely to report poor self-perceived health than individuals in countries with less decommodifying welfare states? Second, does decommodification affect the health of various population groups in different ways? Gender and income groups are of interest here. Theoretically, I argue that the welfare state impacts the stratification order, that social inequality is tied to social cohesion, and that social cohesion is linked to health. I draw on sources of both country- and individual- level data, including the comparative welfare Entitlements dataset, the World Values Survey, and the European Values Study, to test hypotheses concerning the link between decommodification and self-perceived health. In general, I hypothesize that higher levels of decommodification will contribute to a decreased likelihood that individuals report poor self-perceived health. Given the miltilevel structure of my research questions and hypotheses, I use multilevel binary logistic regression to assess relationships of interest. My findings indicate that, for all groups, decommodification does not have a statistically significant relationship with self-perceived health. In other words, higher levels of welfare support do not decrease the likelihood that individuals report poor health. To elaborate, for all groups, those who are trusting, as compared to those who are not, are less likely to report poor health. Overall, the data do not support my hypotheses, revealing potential flaws in my theory linking the welfare state and health status. My research, then, has both theoretical and empirical implications.

Abstract:
Introduction: Within the past decade, significant developments, new designs, and numerous proposed advantages of self-ligating (SL) brackets have caused them to gain great popularity among practicing orthodontists. The purpose of this study was to determine if there are significant clinical differences between SL and conventional brackets on orthodontic treatment as perceived by practicing orthodontists, and more specifically, if the proposed advantages of SL brackets are evident in clinical practice. Methods: A survey was developed to evaluate how SL brackets compare to conventional brackets when perceived by practicing orthodontists (n=430). The initial series of questions focused on individual practitioner characteristics and the clinician’s experience with SL brackets, while the second part of the survey allowed the orthodontists to indicate a preference for either SL or conventional brackets in regard to a variety of treatment factors. Results: Most of the responding orthodontists (90%) had experience using SL brackets in clinical practice. SL brackets were preferred for the majority of orthodontic treatment factors, and were most significantly indicated as having shorter adjustment appointments (P <0.0001), providing faster initial treatment progress (P <0.0001), and were the most preferred bracket during the initial alignment stage of treatment (P <0.0001). On the other hand, practitioners reported a stronger preference for conventional brackets during the finishing and detailing stages of treatment (P <0.0001), and regarded conventional brackets as being significantly more cost effective than SL brackets (P <0.0001). Less emergency appointments were also reported with conventional brackets compared to SL brackets (P <0.0001). Despite the perceived overall preference for SL brackets, more than one-third of practitioners no longer use or are planning on discontinuing use of SL brackets. In many circumstances, the orthodontists’ bracket preference was significantly influenced by the proportion of patients they treated with SL brackets (P <0.0001), the number of cases it took them to become accustomed to SL brackets (P <0.0001), and their average appointment intervals for both SL brackets (P <0.0001) and conventional brackets (P = 0.0002). Conclusion: Overall, the orthodontists participating in this study reported a perceived difference between SL brackets and conventional brackets on orthodontic treatment. SL brackets were found to be preferred for the majority of the treatment factors, while there were a few situations in which conventional brackets were preferred. Ultimately, due to the lack of high-quality evidence supporting SL brackets, more objective, evidence-based research is essential in order to evaluate definitively the clinical differences of SL and conventional brackets on orthodontic treatment.

Abstract:
In Healthy People 2010, mental health is listed as a major public health concern as evidenced by an alarming increase in the number of individuals who suffer from mental disorders. Mental disorders are a treatable public health condition. However, health disparities in the treatment of mental disorders are evident. The purpose of this study was to examine factors that affected health outcomes of persons with mental disorders. Two specific aims were addressed: Aim 1: to examine the relationships of population characteristics (predisposing factors and enabling resources), health behaviors (health services use and health practice); and health outcomes (physical health status and mental health status); Aim 2: to determine the differences in the usual source of care and health outcomes between individuals with self-reported mental disorders and individuals without mental disorders. This study was a secondary analysis of existing data collected from 2006 Medical Expenditure Panel Survey Household Component Consolidated file. A sample of U.S. civilian non-institutionalized adults (N=622) was grouped according to three self-reported health conditions: mental disorders (MD), physical illnesses (PI) and co-morbid mental disorders and physical illnesses (CM). This sample was predominantly male, White non-Hispanic and married; had a high school diploma, middle to high income, and private insurance; and preferred office-based clinics as the usual source of care, F(2,29)=5.94, p = .007. No statistically significant differences between groups in usual source of care (p=.069) and physical health status (p=.490) but there was a significant difference in mental health status (p=.001). Participants with CM had a poorer mental health status than those with PI and MD, F (2,619) =21.8, p= .000. The mental health status of individuals with PI was significantly better than that of participants with MD. Awareness of disparities in the usual source of care, health services use, and health outcomes among individuals with mental health conditions is imperative if barriers to care are to be eliminated. Innovative interventions pertinent to decreasing barriers to accessing health care and improving the health outcomes among individuals with MD must be tested. Advocating for mental health care policies that reduce health care services disparities among individuals with self-reported MD must be encouraged.

Abstract:
Despite significant research and inroads with the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), disparities in HIV infection continue to widen for African American (AA) men who have sex with men (MSM). In recent times, cultural competence has been receiving increased attention as a possible factor to enhance the quality of health messaging and lessening HIV disparities. However, there is a dearth of research specifically dedicated to AA MSM and culturally competent HIV health messages. To address this gap, this qualitative research was designed to investigate the self-perceived cultural competency among HIV counselors. The theoretical framework for the project was the PEN-3 cultural model. The interview participants for the study were 10 HIV interventionists employed with health institutions that partially or entirely specialize in HIV prevention in the Richmond, Virginia, area. The analysis of the data was aided by a phenomenology analytical approach. The results revealed that cultural competence training can be one effective means to enhance the quality of health messages targeting AA MSM. This investigation has social change implications, especially in the context of developing sustainable HIV prevention interventions focused on integrating culture, thereby reducing HIV disparities in the Richmond metropolitan area. The findings may also lend insight into the various ways that health establishments can engage in culturally relevant prevention and position themselves to be leaders in informing the development of culturally competent HIV prevention messages that will aid in the acceleration of changing longstanding, ineffective prevention approaches targeting AA MSM.

Abstract:
This study was conducted in South Africa among a total of 86 South African adolescents. The aim of this study was to investigate self-perceived health among youths from two different socio-economic groups in South Africa, what they believe promote their health and what views they have on school health education. The study used a mixed method approach consisting of quantitative questionnaires and qualitative interviews. The study draws Aaron Antonovsky’s theory of health, the salutogenic perspective and the sense of coherence theory. In addition, Antonovsky’s 29-item orientation to life questionnaire formed the quantitative part of the study. The main findings of this study is that higher socio-economic status does not necessarily correlate with higher SOC. Family and supportive people had the greatest affect on the adolescents’ ability to cope with stressors and are therefore the main health promoting factors. Finally, health education and the subject Life Orientation, as well as the school as an institution, are health-promoting factors and have in different ways influenced the participants’ views on health.

Full text
Abstract:
This exploratory research investigated the relationship between a brief neuropsychological measure and everyday functional ability in older community dwelling adults. The association between these two areas is complex, as a specific functional domain often involves several of the cognitive skills typically assessed by a neuropsychological instrument. Whilst there is an extensive literature linking neuropyschological tests to everyday functioning in cognitively impaired older adults, little research has been directed at investigating the relationship between cognitive test performance and everyday competence in non-dementing older people who reside independently in the community. A brief cognitive instrument able to predict coping deficits in instrumental activities of daily living would facilitate identification of health care and service needs, contributing to the functional independence of this population. A sample of 134 independently-living males and females aged 60-93 years completed the Neurobehavioural Cognitive Status Examination (Cognistat) and the Direct Assessment of Functional Status (DAFS). As beliefs about performance have been shown to correlate with actual ability, study participants also completed a 72-question self-efficacy inventory, the Personality in Intellectual-Aging Contexts (PIC). Finally, in order to investigate the relationship of health and functional performance, participants responded to a four-item subjective health measure. Simple correlations revealed modestly significant relationships between subjective health and two of the functional domains. Although there were exceptions, the general pattern was for significant correlations between self-efficacy sub-scales and measures of everyday competence. This pattern was also evident in the correlations between the cognitive variables and the functional domains. Hierarchical regression analyses examined the relative ability of self-reported health, self-efficacy scales from the PIC and the cognitive variables from Cognistat to predict the functional domains of DAFS, in that order. Self-reported health accounted for comparatively little variance in all domains of DAFS. The PIC inventory contributed significantly to the variance of four of the five functional domains, exceeding the contribution of the cognitive variables in two areas. Cognistat scales explained a significant amount of the variance in all DAFS domains, retaining the highest predicted amount in three instances. In summary, when self-reported health and self-efficacy were statistically controlled, cognitive variables remained strong predictors of everyday competence. Memory was identified as the most consistent predictor of everyday task performance. It was argued that components of memory functioning may also be strongly associated with deficits in other cognitive variables. A brief cognitive measure predicting the functional ability of an older independently-living adult may be more practical and cost-effective than a functional assessment. It was therefore concluded that interventions aimed at improving cognitive functioning, in particular memory, may have positive implications for performance in several functional domains.

Abstract:
Breast cancer is a widespread public health issue in the United States which affects all women. Although mammography is a proven screening tool, screening rates vary widely. Self-reported health status may play a role in how women perceive their risks for developing breast cancer, which may affect mammography use. The purpose of this cross-sectional survey study was to assess the association between self-reported health status and perceived risk for developing breast cancer, as well as perceived barriers towards mammography screening and use. Social action theory, which holds that social and the psychological factors influence health behaviors, served as the theoretical foundation of the study. A convenience sample of 309 African American, non-Hispanic White, and Hispanic women, aged 30+, was recruited to participate in the study. Linear and logistic regression analyses revealed the model including all variables were significance between self-reported health status, demographic characteristics, and the dependent variables perceived risk of breast cancer, receipt of a mammogram in the last 2 years, and barriers (personal, economic, and health). However, self-reported health status was not a significant individual predictor in any of the analyses, and the null hypotheses for the research questions were not rejected. This study may promote positive social change by providing information on the necessity of interdisciplinary and interrelated educational and intervention approaches to address the challenges of women from diverse populations receiving regular mammograms.

Abstract:
The overall aim was to follow the development of nutritional status and its significance for general health status using an epiemiologic method in a representative population‐based selection of older individuals in two cohorts. The main focus was to prospectively examine the significance of demographic, social and medical factors and to establish a basis to investigate the possibilities of preventive measures. Methods: Five hundred and eighty‐three individuals (278 women and 305 men), 75 and 80 years old, when included, living in a municipality in Östergötland in Sweden, participated in this study. Data collection took place 2001‐2006 with one examination yearly. The examination included a single question regarding self‐perceived health demographical questions, different questionnaires in the areas of nutritional status, symptoms of depression, cognitive function, health‐related quality of life and well being and objective assessments such as anthropometrical, physical and biochemical measurements. Results: Fifty percent of the women (I) and 58% of the men (II) perceived themselves as healthy. Important factors for women’s health (I) at baseline were no or few symptoms of depression, better physical mobility and better physical health. Among men who perceived themselves as healthy (II) at baseline, important factors were better physical health, maintaining a social network and the ability to walk outdoors. After one year 69% of the women and 75% of the men still perceived themselves as healthy. Among those women (I) who perceived themselves as healthy after one year, better physical mobility and better physical health were still important, with the addition of less or no pain. Important predictors for preserving health among men (II) were no symptoms of depression and the ability to walk up and down stairs. The prevalence of risk for malnutrition (III) was 14.5% (n=84), among women 18.8% and men 10.6%. Risk factors for malnutrition at baseline were a lower TSF, lower handgrip strength and worse physical health according to the PGC MAI. The incidence was 7.6%‐16.2%, and was distributed equally among women and men over time. Predictors for developing malnutrition were lower self‐perceived health, increased number of symptoms of depression.  Especially men with symptoms of depression ran a higher risk. Reported energy intake (IV) was low in relation to the estimated requirement, on average 74% among women and 67% among men. Intake of vitamins A, D, E and folate was below the recommended intake and the same pattern was found over time. A smaller weight loss was found among women and men from baseline to Follow‐up 2. Conclusions: The experience of a good physical health was the only common factor for a good self‐perceived health among women and men. The highest risk for developing malnutrition was a combination of impaired self‐perceived health and increased number of symptoms of depression. Clinical implications: A combination of nutritional status, self‐perceived health and symptoms of depression can be a base for clinical judgement and can be used by different professionals in ealth and medical care and in home care service.

Abstract:

Both positive and negative effects of exercise participation on health are shown in the literature. However, exercisers’ perceived health is still unexplored from this two-line influence perspective. The Perceived Health and Sport/Exercise Participation model (PHS/EP) served as theoretical framework for the study that aimed at testing the Perceived Health and Exercise Participation Profile (PHEPP) Questionnaire and examining factors involved in exercisers’ tendencies towards healthy versus unhealthy exercise participation and their association with perceived health, exercise satisfaction, goal orientation, self-esteem and physical self-perception. A package of four instruments was completed by 148 exercisers. The healthy tendency of exercise participation represented in the PHS/EP model was supported by the results obtained, whereas the unhealthy tendency needs further investigation and some related changes in the PHEPP questionnaire. Regression analyses confirmed some relationships between the PHS/EP model and established concepts such as goal orientation, self-esteem and physical self-perception dimensions. The results are discussed with reference to previous research and the PHS/EP model.

Abstract:
This thesis describes a three year study which explored perceptions and experiences of being involved in self care and perceptions of control and self-efficacy over time amongst patients receiving a six month course of chemotherapy treatment for colorectal cancer. The study was underpinned by Leventhal’s Self Regulation Model and aimed to explore how patients undergoing chemotherapy for colorectal cancer perceived the meaning of self care, what they did as part of their self care in managing the effects of their treatment and whether this changed between the beginning and end of their six month course of chemotherapy. The study also set out to explore the relationship between patients’ perceptions of control and self efficacy and their involvement in self care. The study adopted a patient focussed, mixed method, longitudinal approach for complementarity and expansion purposes in which the qualitative findings formed the focus of the investigation, supplemented by the quantitative findings. This was important to provide a greater breadth and range to the study and to obtain a realistic understanding of patients’ perceptions and experiences of being involved in self care during their six month course of chemotherapy treatment and the influence of their perceptions of control and self efficacy on their involvement in self care. Thirty one patients participated in the study and data were collected using qualitative semi structured interviews (with a subsample of patients who participated in the study) and quantitative questionnaires (Illness Perception Questionnaire-revised and the Strategies Used by People to Promote Health) and prospective self care diaries with the full study sample. Data were collected at several time points over the course of patients’ chemotherapy treatment (beginning, middle and end of treatment) and were analysed and integrated in accordance with Tashakkori and Teddlie (1998)’s guidance for integrating qualitative and quantitative findings in a mixed methods study. The study findings revealed that the use of a mixed method, longitudinal study design was a valuable approach for understanding patients’ involvement in self care during chemotherapy for colorectal cancer and the influence of factors, such as their perceptions of control, on their subsequent involvement in their self care. In particular, the principal findings suggested that self care held a range of meanings to the patients in this study. Principally, patients’ self care consisted of two components; physical self care, carried out to manage the physical impact of undergoing treatment, and emotional self care, carried out to manage their emotional response to being diagnosed with, and undergoing treatment for, cancer. The findings suggested that there was no association between patients’ perceptions of control and the degree of self care that they carried out identified in the quantitative analysis. However, in the qualitative analysis, it was revealed that patients’ perceptions of control were likely to influence their attitudes towards their active involvement in self care and the importance with which they viewed this role. In particular, patients who considered themselves to have a high degree of control during their treatment were more likely to believe that they could limit the impact of the treatment through their own actions, that being actively involved in their self care was important and were interested in taking on this role, and that they would use a greater range of self care strategies in helping to manage the impact of their treatment. Conversely patients who considered themselves to have a lower degree of control during their treatment were less likely to believe that they could limit the impact of the treatment through their own actions, that their active involvement in self care was important and were less likely to expect to take on an active role, preferring to leave the management of treatment-related effects to health professionals, whom they regarded as being the “experts”. The findings from this study have implications for nursing practice because they reinforce the importance of the listening to the patient’s experience and how this approach can contribute to a fuller and more accurate understanding of how patients become involved in their self care and the factors that influence this. This is important so that nurses can provide holistic care, tailored to meet their patients’ self care needs and preferences, and to encourage partnership working between patients, nurses, allied health professionals and other agencies in promoting involvement in self care. The findings also have implications for theories relating to self care in emphasising the importance of patient centred models of care and for Leventhal’s Self Regulation Model in adding further support for the components of the model yet also offering a greater understanding of how the model fits with patients’ emotional responses to the effects of illness and its’ treatments. Finally, the study findings have implications for future research, calling for further research to focus on the meaning of constructs such as self care and control from the patients’ perspective and to further explore the use of the mixed methodology in researching and understanding patients’ involvement in self care and the factors that influence this.

Full text
Abstract:
As a social species, human beings are driven by an innate desire to belong and are thus motivated to develop and maintain meaningful social relationships. As such, perceiving a lack of belongingness strongly impacts psychological and physiological health and well-being. A common form of perceived relationship deficits is loneliness, a negative-affective experience detrimental to health and well-being over time. Through a series of three manuscripts, this dissertation applies the full-cycle model of social psychological research to explore various affective, behavioral, and cognitive consequences of loneliness. Whereas existing models of loneliness focus on long-lasting or chronic forms of loneliness, these studies investigate chronic and transient loneliness, as well as processes through which transient loneliness may develop into more chronic levels. The first paper demonstrates that solitary consumption is a unique behavioral response to transient loneliness, which may exacerbate the experience of loneliness and negatively impact health over time. The second paper provides support for a positivity-deficit perspective, demonstrating that chronic loneliness is related to less disclosure of recent positive experiences, a deficit which may be consequential for the development of close relationships. The third paper demonstrates the role of transient loneliness in inhibiting individuals and their interaction partners from reaping the social rewards of positive-event disclosure, particularly among those who typically feel socially connected. Taken together, these studies expand the current understanding transient loneliness, revealing various social-cognitive and behavioral consequences which could impede the social-reaffiliation process, and thus contribute to the maintenance of loneliness over time.

Pfaff, Nicole. "The Novice Licensed Professional Counselor's Perceived Preparedness to Use Self-Disclosure." ScholarWorks, 2018. https://scholarworks.waldenu.edu/dissertations/5249.

Full text
Abstract:
Self-disclosure is used by feminist, humanistic, client-centered, and a variety of other counselors to build therapeutic alliances with clients. However, little research has been conducted on counselors' perceptions of their preparedness to use self-disclosure. This exploratory multiple-case study used attachment theory as a framework to explore the perceptions of novice licensed professional counselors' preparedness to use self-disclosure. The 12 participants who participated in face-to-face interviews practiced as licensed professional counselors in Delaware, New Jersey, or Pennsylvania. The participants described how they learned, practiced, and used self-disclosure. After analyzing interview data through cycle coding and peer review, themes emerged showing participants' life experiences, clinical practices, education, and supervision as having prepared them to use self-disclosure. Participants perceived they were prepared to use self-disclosure through their educational experience but primarily learned to self-disclose through trial-and-error. Participants reported learning to self-disclose by taking a chance and practicing the self-disclosure skill with clients after receiving their license. Professional counselors, supervisors, and counselor educators who are the gatekeepers for future counselors may use the study's findings to improve understanding of and training in self-disclosure. The findings can be used to enhance the training of how to prepare counselors to use self-disclosure, therefore, minimizing harm to the clients. Learning more about training counselors to use a skill that is of use with or without intent is of significance to the field of mental health counseling.

Full text
Abstract:
Prohealth competencies, positive outcome expectancies, and adaptive stress appraisals have profound implications for the real-world transition of college seniors—a population for which engagement in physical activity reflects a preeminent concern. Prior studies on exercise self-efficacy (ESE), dispositional optimism (DO), perceived stress (PS), and physical activity have yielded inconclusive evidence of the emergent psychosocial challenges encountered during the final year of the college experience. Using a triadic framework of self-efficacy, attribution, and cognitive appraisal theories, this crosssectional, quantitative study was conducted using a web survey to examine (a) the impact of physical activity level on ESE, DO, and PS; (b) the relationships that exist between ESE, DO, and PS; and (c) whether DO, PS, and sex predict ESE in a sample of 138 college seniors. The Barriers Self-Efficacy Scale, Revised Life Orientation Test, Perceived Stress Scale, and Stages of Exercise Change Questionnaire were used to assess the respective lines of inquiry. Between-groups analysis of variance, correlation, and standard multiple regression analyses were conducted to test each respective hypothesis. Results indicated (a) significant mean differences in ESE, DO, and PS for exercise maintainers; (b) large intercorrelations among ESE, DO, and PS; and (c) PS as the most significant correlate and the strongest predictor of ESE. Findings can be used to frame the college years as a transformative experience for indoctrinating the competency beliefs that underpin leadership potentials, internalizing perceived controllability over objectives, and engendering challenge-approach orientations—prerequisites for real-world adaptation and potential building blocks for positive social change.

Bodling, S. & Larsson, S. (2010). A descriptive study of how people with HIV/AIDS in Cambodia experience attitudes regarding the disease from people around them. Essay for bachelor degree in Public Health 15 hp, Department of Occupational and Public Health, University of Gävle.

Cambodia is the most HIV-afflicted country in Southeast Asia. The level of knowledge about the virus among the people is low and because of the poor conditions few people have access to testing and treatment. The HIV/AIDS epidemic has been followed by a stigmatization against people living with the disease and negative attitudes are common. The aim of this study was to identify self-perceived attitudes experienced by people living with HIV/AIDS in Lvea Em, Cambodia.

In this study, a qualitative interview method was used. Ten interviews were conducted with ten Cambodian men and women, aged 25-48 years. They lived in different villages in the district of Lvea Em, outside Phnom Penh. The contact-organization Asian Outreach Cambodia (AOC) provided us with the informants. Most interviews were conducted in the informant’s own homes. One of the staff from the AOC also worked as an interpreter during the interviews. Since HIV/AIDS can be a sensitive topic, particular consideration was given to ethical considerations. To evaluate the results from the study a content analysis was used.

The results showed that there are several negative attitudes connected to people living with HIV/AIDS. The main reason for negative attitudes seems to be fear of contagion. The result also showed some positive attitudes that derive from having HIV, like the discovery of love and care from family members and strengthening of the relationship to them. The results indicate that it is important to target the main underlying causes for stigmatization against people living with HIV/AIDS, but also that it is necessary to focus on the positive attitudes that do exist towards them. We wish that this study may contribute a little in the future work to eliminate the stigma and negative attitudes and also in the work to bring forward and increase the positive attitudes.

Full text
Abstract:
Improving Access to Psychological Therapies (IAPT ) therapists form a relatively new workforce delivering psychological interventions to people with mild to moderate mental health difficulties in often high-volume environments (Department of Health [DOH], 2008c). Emerging research has suggested that working as an IAPT therapist can be a demanding and stressful role (Walket & Percy, 2014 ; Westwood, Morison, Allt, & Holmes, 2017). Work-related stressors have been linked to physical and mental health difficulties (e.g. Bosma, et al., 1997; Stansfeld, Fuhrer, Shipley, & Marmot, 1999) and the financial cost of stress related illness is considerable (Blaug, Kenyon, & Lekhi, 2007). Across the literature stress has been conceptualised in a variety of ways (Cooper, Dewe, & O’Driscoll, 2001). The transactional approach understands stress through the relational processes between the person and the environment (Lazarus, 2006). Self-compassion (Gilbert, 2010a ; Neff, 2003b), a way of self-relating in times of hardship and suffering, has predominately been inversely associated with perceived stress and has been linked to psychological wellbeing (Neff & Costigan, 2014). This quantitative cross-sectional online project explored IAPT therapists’ levels of perceived stress and examined whether self-compassion moderated the relationship between work-related stressors and perceived stress in IAPT therapists. IAPT therapists reported experiencing levels of perceived stress that were higher than the norm. Self-compassion did not moderate the relationship between work-related stressors and perceived stress. Multiple regressions, employed as model cleansing strategies, revealed that work-related stressors and self-compassion are independent predictors of perceived stress in IAPT therapists and that self-compassion is more strongly related to perceived stress than work-related stressors. The study demonstrates the applicability of Lazarus’ (2006) approach in workplace research. The findings are discussed in relation to self-compassion theory (Neff , 2003b) and affective regulation systems (Gilbert, 2006), and are considered in relation to future research and practical implications around workplace wellbeing.

This research determined the nutrition status of people with chronic lower-leg wounds and explored nutrition care from the perspective of health professionals working with chronic wound populations. The study found that despite high BMI of the group, nearly 20 percent of participants were malnourished and, that in chronic wound care settings malnutrition screening and management may be insufficient. The research was conducted within a nutrition-focused socio-ecological framework. Nutrition status was determined by considering dietary intake, health, demographic profile and validated malnutrition assessment. This study supports guidelines which recommend nutrition screening, assessment and management be standard care in this population.

Full text
Abstract:
African Americans have a higher proclivity to depression than other ethnic groups in the United States and also have a greater propensity to avoid seeking professional mental health treatment. The available research has shown that racial and cultural barriers such as perceived discrimination and self-concealment are the primary factors that negatively affect African Americans' attitudes toward mental health itself and mental health treatment. Perceived discrimination and self-concealment may also negatively affect whether African Americans seek help for depression and from whom, but further investigation was needed. The quantitative survey study provided answers to which factors influence whether and where African Americans seek help for major depression. A total of 147 participants were recruited through word of mouth, local churches, community organizations, and virtual venues such as electronic mail and social media. Multivariate analysis of variance revealed the mean scores of African Americans' use of natural supports and their use of outpatient treatment (dependent variables) were not equal across all levels of their self-concealment, perceived discrimination, and depressive symptoms (independent variables). Multivariate analysis of covariance revealed that the mean scores remained the same when controlling for gender, income, education, and relationship status (covariates). The results suggest that the latter factors influence African Americans' decisions on where to seek help for depression regardless of their gender and socioeconomic status. Increasing the propensity of African Americans to seek professional help for depression should improve the mental health of the population as a whole and reduce the incidents of serious mental illness of those who are treated.

Full text
Abstract:
The expectations of young families regarding care they would like to receive from community nurses working in the child health area is affected by the relationship between those expectations, utilisation and sociocultural factors such as family type, family composition and ethnicity. These factors influence family dynamics, needs, functioning and interactions with the wider community. A descriptive study with both quantitative and qualitative components was used to identify and analyse the self-identified requirements of young families utilising Child Health Services in the Belmont area, Western Australia, and their patterns of utilisation. Twenty five women who had a child or children under 5 years of age were interviewed. The study was guided by a conceptual framework provided by the Ottawa Charter (World Health Organisation-Health and Welfare Canada-Canadian Public Health Organisation, 1996). The three main themes that emerged from the data showed that the young families identified knowledge acquisition, reassurance of normal growth and development and accessibility as their key self-perceived requirements of Child Health Services. Family type, family composition and ethnicity were examined within the contexts of these themes, resulting in a greater understanding of the child health issues relating to all types of family groups. The challenge for the providers of Child Health Services is to provide culturally appropriate Child Health Services based on the principles of primary health care within an environment experiencing fiscal restraint The long term benefits to the families and the health care system are not easily evaluated but have important and wide ranging positive effects on the health and wellbeing of the community.
