[Health education and the prevention of HIV infection in schools]
No full textThis review describes the HIV prevention strategies adopted since 1990 by the Italian Ministry of Health and Ministry of Education, coordinated by the National Health Institute, for use in Italian schools. It sets out reasons for believing that action in schools is essential in containing the spread of the HIV epidemic and presents teaching materials prepared for school use. An analysis is made of the IV national HIV information campaign, in which the Ministry of Health trained 4,000 middle and senior schools principals. The prospects for continuing the work with these 4,000 principals in the V information campaign, are also reported
Motivational climate, resilience, and burnout in youth sport
No full textMethods: Participants were 87 adolescent basketball and volleyball players.
Purpose: Grounded in the theoretical framework of achievement goal theory, the purpose of this study was to examine the role of some personal factors (perceived competence and resilience) and situational variables (motivational climate) on burnout in young athletes practicing team sports.
Results: Mastery (task-involving) climate correlated positively with resilience and perceived competence, and negatively with the three dimensions of burnout (emotional/physical exhaustion, reduced sense of accomplishment, and sport devaluation). In contrast, performance (ego-involving) climate related positively with the three dimensions of burnout. Regression analysis results showed perceived mastery climate to significantly contribute to the amount of the variability in two burnout variables (i.e., reduced sense of accomplishment and sport devaluation). In addition, resilience and perceived competence were shown to moderate the effects of the motivational context towards burnout.
Conclusions: Overall, findings suggest protective effects of mastery climate, resilience, and perceived competence against burnout symptoms. From an applied perspective, coaches should adopt suitable behaviours to promote a mastery-involving climate
Post-traumatic symptoms, resilience, and enjoyment of physical activity in children exposed to the 2012 earthquake in Emilia
No full textLa régulation du comportement d’exercice et les raisons de l’activité physique: la validation italienne des questionnaires BREQ et MPAM-R
No full textBased on self-determination theory, the purpose of the present study was to provide the first Italian validation of two different instrument to assess the exercise behaviour: the Mullan et al.'s (1997) BREQ which measures external, introjected, identified and intrinsic forms of regulation and Ryan et al.'s (1997) MPAM-R, which assesses five distinct motives for physical activity (appearance, health and fitness, social, competence, and enjoyment). Confirmatory factor analysis conducted on data collected from 1995 students attending three different secondary schools empirically supported respectively the four-factor structure of behavioural regulation and the five-factor structure of motives for physical activity, supporting convergent and discriminant validity of both scales. Furthermore, multi-group confirmatory factor analysis showed the invariance of the factor structures, structural parameters and correlations of the two scales across gender. Criterion-related validity of the scales also received partial empirical support. Finally, the factor structure of behavioural regulation and motives for physical activity was empirically supported when both constructs were included in a single measurement model.Sur la base de la théorie de l’auto-détermination, le but de cette étude est de proposer la validation de deux instruments différents pour l’évaluation du comportement d’exercice : le BREQ de Mullan et a. (1997), qui mesure les formes externe, introjectée, identifiée, et intrinsèque de la régulation, et le MPAM-R de Ryan et al. (1997), qui évalue cinq raisons distingués de l’activité physique (apparence, santé et forme physique, sociale, compétence, et amusement). L’analyse factorielle confirmatoire, conduite auprès de 1995 étudiants inscrits à trois lycées différents, a soutenu empiriquement la structure à quatre facteurs de la régulation du comportement ainsi que la structure à cinq facteurs des raisons de l’activité physique. De plus, l’analyse confirmatoire multi-groupe a montré l’invariance des structures factorielles, des paramètres structuraux, et des corrélations des deux échelles en relation au genre sexuel. La validité critériée des échelles a aussi reçu un soutien empirique partiel. Enfin, la structure factorielle de la régulation du comportement et des raisons de l’activité physique a été soutenue empiriquement lorsque les deux construits ont été inclus dans le même modèle de mesure
L'uso dei risultati dell'indagine "Health Behaviour in School-aged Children": il caso del Veneto
No full textIl crescente decentramento del sistema sociosanitario italiano comporta che gran parte delle scelte di programmazione e orientamento dei servizi si svolgano a livello regionale.
Le politiche socio-sanitarie possono essere orientate anche dai dati provenienti dalla ricerca psico-sociale sulla salute. La ricerca HBSC, implementata nel Veneto, è un esempio di come dei dati, raccolti per studiare gli stili di vita e la salute dei preadolescenti tra gli 11 e i 15 anni siano stati usati ed abbaino avuto un impatto anche sulla programmazione socio-sanitaria della regione.
Oltre ad evidenziare i passaggi che hanno consentito di raggiungere questi risultati vengono evidenziati gli sviluppi e le potenzialità di quest’indagine

Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
Full text linkThe present study examines one of the fundamental aspects of author co-citation analysis (ACA) - the way co-citation
counts are defined. Co-citation counting provides the data on which all subsequent statistical analyses and mappings
are based, and we compare ACA results based on two different types of co-citation counting - the traditional type that
only counts the first one among a cited work's authors on the one hand and a non-traditional type that takes into
account the first 5 authors of a cited work on the other hand. Results indicate that the picture produced through this non-traditional author co-citation counting contains more coherent author groups and is therefore considerably clearer. However, this picture represents fewer specialties in the research field being studied than that produced through the traditional first-author co-citation counting when the same number of top-ranked authors is selected and analyzed. Reasons for these effects are discussed
