Effects of the Social Responsibility for Health program on adolescents' empathic skills, altruistic and health perception
No full textObjectives: This study aims to determine the effect of the Social Responsibility for Health (SRFH) program implemented under the leadership of a school nurse on adolescents' empathic skills, altruism and health perception. Materials and Methods: This semi-experimental study used the pre test-post test control group design. It was conducted among 116 adolescents attending a private high school in Istanbul. Fifty-six and 60 of the participants were randomly assigned to the control and experimental groups, respectively. The SRFH program was completed in 14 weeks. The data were collected with the Empathic Tendency Scale, the Scale of Altruism, and the Health Perception. Parametric tests (unpaired t-test and paired t-test) were utilized in the data analysis. Results: While there was no significant difference between the experimental and control groups' total pretest scores of empathic skills and health perception (P>0.05), a significant difference was found between both groups' total posttest scores (P=0.00; P=0.05). Furthermore, the experimental group's total posttest score of altruism and their score averages of social and helpfulness subdimensions increased (P=0.03; P=0.01; P=0.02). Conclusion: The SRFH program implemented under the leadership of a school nurse increased adolescents' empathic skills and health perception and created a difference between the experimental and control groups

Internet addiction and physical and psychosocial behavior problems among rural secondary school students
No full textThe aim of this study was to determine secondary school students' levels of Internet addiction and the physical and psychosocial behavior problems they face while using the Internet. This descriptive study was conducted in three state secondary schools in a rural area in the western part of Turkey. This study's sample consisted of 549 students who agreed to participate, with the consent of their families, and who had an Internet connection at home. The data were evaluated using t-tests and variance analyses. In this study the students' score of Internet addiction was at medium level (mean addiction score 44.51 +/- 17.90). There were significant differences between the students' Internet addiction scores and the presence of physical behavior problems (going to bed late, skipping meals, eating meals in front of the computer) and psychosocial behavior problems (suffering from conditions such as restlessness, anger, heart palpitations, or tremors when they could not connect to the Internet, decreased relationships with family and friends, feelings of anger, arguing with parents, and finding life boring and empty without an Internet connection)

The effectiveness of a nail-biting prevention program among primary school students
No full textPurpose: This study aimed to demonstrate the effect of a program called Do Not Bite Your Nails, Cut Your Nails, which is based on a health promotion model to change the nail-biting habit among primary school students. Design and methods: This quasi-experimental study was conducted using the pre- and post-test and interrupted time series design. The study sample included 299 students. Nurse observation form and nail follow-up chart were used to evaluate behavioral outcomes. This program was conducted under the guidance of school nurses and lasted 6 weeks. The data were analyzed using McNemar and Cochran Q tests. Results: The number of those who selected yes for I cut my nails this weekend and I didn't bite my nails today increased. However, the number of the students that selected yes for I pulled out my nails, I pulled out and ate, I pulled out my nail skin, My cuticle bled today, and My nails hurt today decreased significantly and statistically compared with pretest, first and second observation, and post-test (P < 0.001). The rate of the students with minimum one abnormal finger was 83.9% according to observations, and 6% following the intervention (P < 0.001). New insights were provided into the program to diminish nail-biting habit. Practice implications: The program significantly reduced the nail-biting rate among primary school students. The nurse that implement this program will be able to do a comprehensive evaluation of students' nail-biting habits, perform solution-focused interventions, and prevent advanced complications that might develop in connection to nail-biting. Thus, the effectiveness of nursing implementations will improve in the prevention of nail-biting habit, early diagnosis, and changing students' habits. Do Not Bite Your Nails, Cut Your Nails program can be applied again in different schools
The Frequency of and Contributing Factors to the Psychological Abuse of Older People in Nursing Homes in Turkey
No full textObjective: This study investigated the frequency of the psychological abuse of older people in nursing homes and contributing factors. Methods: The population for this methodological and descriptive study was 161 elderly individuals living in two nursing homes in Istanbul. The data were collected using Barthel's Index, the Standardized Mini Mental Test (SMMT) and the Elders' Psychological Abuse Scale (EPAS). The scale's reliability was tested using the Kuder-Richardson Formula 20 (KR-20) and test-retest analysis. Its validity was tested using the Content Validity Index (CVI) and concurrent validity. The frequency of abuse is presented using numbers, percentages, and means. The relationship between the independent variables and abuse was evaluated using the t-test and Kruskal-Wallis variance analysis. Results: The participants' mean age was 73.5 years (42.2% were older than 80 years); 44.7% were female. The mean scores were 5.57 +/- 4.12 on the EPAS and 89.13 +/- 17.13 on Barthel's Index. The KR-20 reliability coefficient for the scale was 0.80. The test-retest reliability was 0.97; p=0.000, and the content validity index was 90%. Of the participants, 14.3% were exposed to psychological abuse. Individuals with high dependency and low levels of income, education and mental capacity were exposed to psychological abuse more frequently (p <0.05). Conclusion: The Turkish version of the originally English EPAS is reliable and valid

Van blijvenden heelrijken invloed : de stichting van de Kamer van Koophandel en Fabrieken te Utrecht
No full textOp 1 juni 1852 installeerde burgemeester mr N.P.J. Kien in 'de stadshuizinge genaamd het IJzeren Hek' aan de Breedstraat de Utrechtse Kamer van Koophandel en Fabrieken. De heren zullen zich wel hebben herinnerd dat er tussen 23 juli 1842 en 1 september 1843 ook al zo'n Kamer had bestaan die in hetzelfde huis had vergaderd: drie van hen waren toen lid geweest. Er was daarna een onverkwikkelijke discussie ontstaan tussen het gemeentebestuur en de Gouverneur van de Provincie over de stad over de hoogte van het budget van de Kamer. De onenigheid liep zo hoog op dat de leden van de Kamer aan de koning hun ontslag aanboden. Het gemeentebestuur had een onverzettelijk standpunt ingenomen uit onvrede over het betuttelend optreden van de hogere overheden en omdat het weinig waarde hechtte aan het bestaan van een eigen Utrechtse Kamer. Ook in de jaren twintig was het niet gelukt er een op te richten omdat het gemeentebestuur
verwachtte dat de kosten hoger zouden zijn dan de bate
Uvajanje nosljivih kamer v policijske postopke
No full textNamen prispevka: Namen prispevka je preučiti vlogo t. i. nadzora »od spodaj navzgor«, ki ga v prispevku imenujemo podzor. Omenjen koncept bo v raziskovalnem modelu postavljen ob bok klasičnemu nadzoru (oz. nadzoru »od zgoraj navzdol«). S tem bomo ugotavljali: (1) ali sta odnos do podzora in nadzora povezana z odnosom do nosljivih kamer v policijskih postopkih in (2) kateri dejavniki so povezani z odnosom do podzora in nadzora ter ali so enaki dejavniki povezani tako z nadzorom kot tudi podzorom. Metode: Za odgovor na raziskovalni vprašanji smo izvedli spletno anketo v slovenskem jeziku. Anketo smo širili na družbenem omrežju Facebook (n = 249). Vzorec ter pridobljene podatke smo prikazali z opisno statistiko, raziskovalni model pa smo testirali s korelacijsko analizo. Ugotovitve: Rezultati raziskave so dvoplastni. Prvič, kažejo na to, da sta tako odnos do podzora kot tudi nadzora povezana z odnosom do nosljivih kamer. Drugič, nadzora in podzora ni mogoče napovedovati z enakimi dejavniki. Korelacijska analiza namreč kaže, da so z odnosom do nadzora povezani vsi predvideni dejavniki, medtem ko je z odnosom do podzora (negativno) povezana le zaznana legitimnost policije. Omejitve/uporabnost raziskave: Raziskava je lahko v podporo raziskavam pri nadaljnjem merjenju odnosa do podzora. Prihodnjim raziskavam lahko pripomore tudi ugotovitev, da se morajo pri ugotavljanju povezav dejavnikov z odnosom do podzora uporabiti različni dejavniki od tistih, ki so povezani z nadzorom. Glavna omejitev raziskave je način vzorčenja, ki ne omogoča posploševanja rezultatov na populacijo ter načina izbire dejavnikov, ki so povezani z odnosoma do nadzora in podzora. Izvirnost/pomembnost prispevka: Prvič, po našem vedenju gre za prvo kvantitativno raziskavo o podzoru v Sloveniji oziroma merjenja odnosa javnosti do le-tega. Drugič, gre za eno izmed prvih raziskav, ki je merila podzor v odnosu do nosljivih kamer, torej kako je odnos javnosti do podzora povezan z odnosom javnosti do nosljivih kamer
