The Role of Psychological Variables on Medication Adherence in Patients with Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder

Background: The aim of this study was to investigate the role of psychological variables in medication adherence in OCD. Methods: This descriptive and correlational study was carried out at Tehran Institute of Psychiatry in Tehran. The statistical population of the present study includes all OCD patients referred to the Tehran Institute of Psychiatry. The participants were selected by available sampling method. The patients completed the demographic questionnaire, Yale Brown Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder Scale-Second Edition (Y-BOCS-II), Vancouver Obsessional Compulsive Inventory (VOCI), Medication Adherence Rating Scale (MARS), Drug Attitude Questionnaire (DAI-10), Multidimensional Scale of Perceived Special Support (MSPSS), Coping strategies scale of Lazarus and Folkman (WOCQ), and Temperament and Character Inventory (TCI). Multiple Linear Regression (MLR) was used to analyze the data. Results: The variable of education status (r=0.18) had a positive relationship and the variable of hospitalization history (r=-0.26) had a negative relationship with medication adherence. Medication adherence is only negatively associated with obsessive thoughts (r=- 0.18, r=-0.20). Duration of drug use (r=0.27), attitude to treatment (r=0.25) and social support (r=0.54) had a positive relationship with medication adherence. Among the various dimensions of temperament and character, four dimensions of harm avoidance (r=-0.29), reward dependence (r=-0.44), persistence (r=-0.20) and self-transcendence (r=0.32) had a significant correlation with medication adherence. Variables of social support, reward dependence, persistence, harm avoidance and education status had the highest regression effect on medication adherence. Conclusion: Medication adherence is one of the behaviors that predicts successful treatment and reduces the negative side effects and severity of the OCD.

Interprofessional Comparisons in Patient Safety Culture at a Teaching Hospital Before and During the COVID-19 Pandemic.

The COVID-19 pandemic has posed unprecedented challenges with its impact on patient safety culture and staff well-being. This study was to identify potential changes in safety culture among health care workers from before to during the COVID-19 pandemic, and to determine the differences across occupational groups. The Safety Attitudes Questionnaire (SAQ) was administered electronically in both English and Malay languages using the Google Forms platform in 2018 and was repeated in 2021, during the COVID-19 pandemic. Comparisons were made between 2018 and 2021 to determine changes in patient safety culture for the overall staff population and by occupational groups. A total of 3175 health care workers completed the questionnaire in 2021. Overall, a comparable percentage agreement was found for all SAQ domains in 2018 and 2021 with visible improvements for doctors and support staff. Safety Attitudes Questionnaire domain scores differed in teamwork, safety climate, perception of hospital management, and working condition domains across occupational groups. Self-isolation and COVID-19 were associated with poorer SAQ domain scores, while redeployment was associated with improvements in SAQ domain scores. Interventions targeting areas of weakness as well as utilizing positive experiences such as redeployment should be explored to enhance patient safety in hospitals settings postpandemic.

Vitamin A-related nutrition knowledge gaps and predictors among caregivers of preschool children in Eastern Uganda: a cross-sectional study

BackgroundVitamin A (VA) remains a core micronutrient as VA Deficiency (VAD) in children has persisted as a public health problem in parts of Africa with adverse effects. Caregivers of children are essential in the control of VAD; however, there is a paucity of data on their knowledge of VA, dietary sources, and VAD. This study sought to assess the level of VA-related nutrition knowledge (VANK) and its predictors among caregivers of preschool children in Eastern Uganda.MethodsA cross-sectional analytical design was used. Both socio-demographic and knowledge and attitude (KA) data were collected using a structured questionnaire partly adapted from the FAO model Knowledge, Attitude and Practice (KAP) questionnaire. A sample size of 256 was used. Caregivers of 24–59 months-old children were selected from Bukwo District in Eastern Uganda using purposive and random sampling methods. Knowledge scores (%) based on responses to ten questions were determined and eventually classified as low (≤ 40%) and moderate or high (˃40%). Descriptive and inferential statistics were computed using SPSS (version 24). Logistic regression was used to identify predictors with p < 0.05 considered significant.ResultsThe study had 247 caregivers with a mean age of 30.9 ± 7.7 years. The majority were female (90%), married, subsistence crop farmers and had primary-level education or lower. The mean VANK score was 18.9 ± 24.7%. Overall, most of the caregivers had low VANK as only about 20% had moderate or high. The proportions that knew the different aspects of VANK were correspondingly small. About half of the caregivers (46.6%) knew VA itself and only 27% knew any of its sources. Those who knew VAD, its causes, signs/symptoms and prevention measures were 31, 22, 13 and 24% respectively. The caregivers’ VANK was significantly associated with their overall VA-related attitude, age and level of education. However, education and age were the significant predictors.ConclusionCaregivers had very low VANK. They barely knew VA and its food sources or VAD. The main predictors of VANK were caregiver age and level of education. The study recommends education of caregivers about VA for effective VAD control which contributes to achievement of the Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) 2.

Attitude toward perioperative safety among operation room clinicians at Ethiopian University Hospital.

Patient safety is a fundamental of good quality and also a high priority for the health-care system. Maintaining patient safety reduces errors and harm that patients can suffer during health care. The operating room clinicians have a vital role in ensuring patient safety. The general objective of this study was to assess attitudes towards perioperative safety and associated factors among the operation room clinicians at the University of Gondar Comprehensive Specialized Hospital (UoGCSH), Northwest Ethiopia, 2022. A cross-sectional study was conducted on operation room clinicians at UoGCSH. The data were collected by using a self-administered structured questionnaire that included the Safety Attitude Questionnaire (SAQ). Binary logistic regression analysis was employed, and the strength of association was described in adjusted odds ratios with a 95% confidence interval (CI). A total of 260 (76% response rate) operation room clinicians have participated in this study. The mean ± SD of attitude toward perioperative safety was 57.8 ± 0.9. Only 32 (12.3%) operation room clinicians have shown a favorable attitude toward perioperative safety. Most of the clinicians were found to have unfavorable attitudes toward all domains of SAQ except the stress recognition domain. Age >30 years [adjusted odds ratios (AOR): 3.1, CI: 1.1, 8.7, P = .035], working for ≥40 h/week (AOR: 3.9, CI: 1.4, 11.1, P = .01), working in ophthalmologic (AOR: 12.0, CI: 3.8, 38.8, P < .001) and gynecologic (AOR: 3.6, CI: 1.1, 12.7, P = .04) operation rooms, and having training on perioperative safety (AOR: 2.6, CI: 1.1, 6.5, P < .03) were found associated with having favorable attitude toward perioperative safety. Most operation room clinicians had an unfavorable attitude toward perioperative safety and all the domains of SAQ except the stress recognition domain. Older age ≥ 30 years, working for ≥40 h/week, having safety-related training, and working in ophthalmologic and gynecologic operation rooms were found associated with having a favorable attitude toward perioperative safety.

Factors influencing the level of insight and treatment attitude: a cross-sectional study of 141 elderly patients of major depression in Guangzhou, China.

To explore the insight, treatment attitude, and related influencing factors of hospitalized elderly patients suffering from major depression. A total of 141 hospitalized elderly patients with depression were selected as the research objects. Insight was evaluated by the total score of the Insight and Treatment Attitude questionnaire (ITAQ). The data collected included sociodemographic characteristics, psychiatric symptoms, delirium status, social functioning, social support, suicide risk, and cognitive function. The sample included 74.5% of female patients, and the mean age was 67.53 (sd=7.19) years. The influencing factors of inpatients with depression included alcohol consumption, length of hospitalization, admission types, and the main caregivers (P<0.05). The various factors were further analyzed by linear regression, revealing that the insight and treatment attitude of elderly depressed hospitalized patients were mainly related to the Mini-Mental State Examination (MMSE) (β= 0.225, 95% CI 0.055-0.395, P=0.01), dependent on a caregiver (β=-5.810, 95% CI -8.086~-3.535, P<0.001), the type of admission (involuntary admission) (β=-3.365, 95% CI -5.448~-1.283, P=0.002), Functional Activities Questionnaire (FAQ) (β=-0.156, 95% CI -0.303~-0.010, P=0.037), and length of stay (≤28 days) (β=2.272, 95% CI 0.055~-4.489, P=0.045). The level of insight was affected by cognitive function, involuntary admission, dependent on a caregiver, social function and length of stay. Future studies should focus on cognitive function recovery, observation of admission mode, and self-care ability in elderly patients with depression.

Knowledge and Attitudes Toward Obstructive Sleep Apnea Among Korean Pulmonologists: A Nationwide Survey.

Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) significantly impacts cardiovascular, metabolic, and respiratory health. In Korea, OSA patients are treated by specialists in internal medicine, otolaryngology, neurology, and psychiatry, but the participation rate of pulmonologists in OSA management is relatively low compared to other specialties. This study investigated the knowledge and attitudes about OSA among Korean pulmonologists. An online survey was conducted, targeting respiratory specialists listed in the Korean Academy of Tuberculosis and Respiratory Diseases directory. The survey used the validated "Obstructive Sleep Apnea Knowledge and Attitudes" (OSAKA) questionnaire, which consists of questions about knowledge and attitudes on OSA. To maximize participation, email invitations were sent three times to the target audience. Out of 634 queried pulmonologists, 127 (20%) responded to the survey. The mean age of respondents was 45.4 ± 8.6 years. The respondents' years of specialty acquisition ranged from the 1980s to the 2010s. Additionally, 74 (58.3%) held a doctor's degree, and 96 (75.6%) worked in hospitals with a sleep center. Furthermore, 71 (55.9%) of the pulmonologists reported having experience with OSA patients. Pulmonologists with experience managing OSA patients had significantly higher knowledge and attitude scores compared to those without such experience. Interestingly, older respondents and those who completed their pulmonology training earlier had higher attitude scores. In addition, the knowledge score significantly correlated with responses to the five items of the attitude questionnaire. This study provides valuable insights into the knowledge and attitudes of Korean pulmonologists regarding OSA. The findings indicate that their knowledge levels are comparable to or better than those in previous studies. These results underscore the need for targeted educational programs and practical training, especially for younger pulmonologists, to enhance their proficiency in managing OSA and to encourage a more active role in its treatment.

The knowledge, attitude and behavior of ICU nurses regarding ICU-acquired weakness: a cross-sectional survey

BackgroundIntensive care unit-acquired weakness (ICU-AW) is very common in ICU patients. It is important to understand the status quo of knowledge, attitude and behavior of ICU nurses about ICU-AW. This survey aimed to investigate the knowledge, attitude and behavior of ICU nurses about ICU-AW, to provide useful implications for clinical care.MethodsICU nurses from two tertiary hospitals in China from October 10 to November 15, 2023 were included. The ICU-AW knowledge, attitude and behavior questionnaire of ICU nurses with 31 items were used for survey. SPSS24.0 statistical software was used for data analysis.ResultsA total of 364 ICU nurses were included for survey. The ICU-AW knowledge of ICU nurses was 21.96 ± 5.72 (< 50% of the total knowledge score), the ICU-AW attitude of ICU nurses was 30.24 ± 5.05(< 75% of the total attitude score), the ICU-AW behavior of ICU nurses was 26.77 ± 5.81(< 75% of the total behavior score), the total score was 79.21 ± 12.69(< 75% of the total score). Nurses’ ICU-AW knowledge, attitude and behavior were all correlated (all P < 0.05). Multiple linear regression analyses indicated that age, years of ICU work experience, professional ranks and titles, had received the training about the ICU-AW were the influencing factors of knowledge, attitude and behavior of ICU nurses about ICU-AW (all P < 0.05).ConclusionsThe knowledge, attitude and behavior of ICU nurses’ ICU-AW needs to be improved, and there are many influencing factors. Hospital nursing administrators should strengthen the training of nurses’ ICU-AW knowledge and improve the cognitive and practical ability of ICU nurses on ICU-AW, so as to reduce the occurrence of ICU-AW.

The Swedish version of the back pain attitudes questionnaire - Translation, cross-cultural adaptation and validation

BackgroundPsychosocial factors influence low back pain (LBP) and guidelines recommend assessing unhelpful beliefs. The Back Pain Attitudes Questionnaire (Back-PAQ) is an instrument developed to assess LBP attitudes and beliefs. There is currently no Swedish translation of Back-PAQ. ObjectivesTo translate and culturally adapt the Back-PAQ into Swedish (Back-PAQ-S) and to test its measurement properties. DesignStudy of diagnostic accuracy/assessment scale. MethodsThe cultural adaptation followed established guidelines and 120 individuals with and without nonspecific LBP (NSLBP) were recruited for the assessment of Back-PAQ-S's internal consistency, test-retest reliability, standard error of measurement (SEM) and smallest detectable change (SDC). Construct validity was assessed by testing hypotheses regarding Back-PAQ-S's relationship to the Back Beliefs Questionnaire (BBQ) and Tampa Scale of Kinesiophobia (TSK). ResultsThe Back-PAQ was translated and culturally adapted to Swedish. Expert panelists and informants thought items were relevant, comprehensive, and understandable. Back-PAQ-S of all lengths (34, 20 and 10-items) showed good internal consistency (Cronbach's α 0.95, 0.91 and 0.82) and excellent test-retest reliability (Intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC) 0.97, 0.96 and 0.95). The SEM was found to be 4.28, 3.13 and 1.66, and the SDC to be 11.85, 8.68 and 4.59 respectively. The Back-PAQ-S showed high positive correlations (Spearman's rho (rs) 0.78, 0.76 and 0.72) to the BBQ and moderate negative correlations (rs −0.67, −0.50 and −0.69) to the TSK. ConclusionThe Back-PAQ-S has good validity and excellent reliability. It is viable for clinical and research use to assess LBP attitudes and beliefs in Swedish populations with and without NSLBP.

Study on the impact of sensitization on materiovigilance programme among pharmacy and dental postgraduate students

ABSTRACT Background Medical devices play a crucial role in patient care but entail inherent risks, necessitating the presence of materiovigilance to monitor and prevent medical device adverse events (MDAEs). The primary objective of our study is to evaluate the impact of an awareness and sensitization program regarding medical devices among participants. Methods A self-administered, validated knowledge, attitude, and practice (KAP) questionnaire consisting of 15 questions was distributed to study participants, and their responses were collected. The data were analyzed using SPSS software version 18. Results Out of the 182 responses received, 56% were from the Pharmacy, while 44% were from the Dental field. 64.8% of the participants were unaware of the Materiovigilance Programme of India (MvPI). However, an overwhelming 97.5% displayed a positive attitude towards reporting MDAEs. Only 5% of the participants had received training on how to report MDAEs. Furthermore, 85.71% of participants had not seen the MDAE reporting form. Conclusion To improve the reporting of MDAEs, it is essential to implement educational interventions and provide training to Pharmacy and Dental postgraduate students. These measures will increase awareness and promote better understanding and implementation of materiovigilance practices.

Evaluation of the nexus between student attitude, teacher teaching methods, and achievement in junior secondary school mathematics

This study investigated the relationship among students’ attitudes, teachers’ teaching methods, and mathematics achievement in Lagos State, Nigeria. The study employed a correlational research design. The population consisted of all the public junior secondary school students in Lagos State. The stratified sampling technique was used to select 30 junior secondary schools across the six education districts in the state, and the simple random sampling technique was used to select 900 students from the selected schools. Participants completed standardised instruments: the Student Attitude Questionnaire (α=0.77), the Teacher Teaching Methods Questionnaire (α=0.92), and the Mathematics Achievement Test (α=0.89). The data collected were analysed using frequency, percentage, Pearson product moment correlation, and multiple regression at α=0.05. The majority of the respondents (75 %) were between 12 and 15 years old, of which 341 were boys and 342 were girls. There is a low positive significant relationship between students’ attitudes and students’ mathematics achievement (r=0.24) and between teachers’ teaching methods and students’ mathematics achievement (r=0.17). The multiple correlation coefficients (R) of all the variables were 0.25. The adjusted R2, which estimates the variance of the dependent variable measured, was 0.06. This implies that all the independent variables students’ attitudes and teachers’ teaching methods—made a 6 % contribution to the variance in students’ achievement in mathematics (F=29.029). It is recommended that students be motivated to have the right attitude towards mathematics and that appropriate teaching methods be employed throughout the teaching-learning process.

Impact of an educational intervention on water, sanitation and hygiene knowledge, attitudes, and practices in early childhood development centres in low-socio-economic areas in the Nelson Mandela Bay, South Africa.

Good water, sanitation, and hygiene (WASH) enhance healthy living and safe environments for child development. The study aimed to evaluate the impact of an educational intervention on WASH status, knowledge, attitudes and practices in early child development (ECD) centres in low socio-economic areas in the Nelson Mandela Bay in 2021. This quasi-experimental, one group, pre-post-test study elicited responses from 51 ECD practitioners (1 per ECD centre). Telephonic structured knowledge, attitude and practices (KAP) questionnaires were used. KAP was good among participants. The educational intervention significantly improved mean knowledge (p<0.001, 95% CI: 0.58-1.11) attitudes (p<0.001, 95% CI: 0.39-0.67) and practices (p = 0.001, 95% CI: 0.20-0.74). WASH knowledge was significantly impacted by toilet facilities ventilation status (p = 0.083) while WASH attitudes scores were significantly impacted by ventilation where the potties are kept (p = 0.041). WASH practice scores were significantly impacted by across the bush/field (no facility) (p = 0.021) and plastic potties usage (p = 0.057). The educational intervention significantly improved WASH-related knowledge, attitudes, and practices among ECD practitioners. WASH conditions in the ECD centres in the study area require additional interventions targeted to sustainable strategies to enhance behavioural modifications for acceptability and sustainability of intervention strategies.

COMBINATION OF ETHNOMATHEMATICS AND THE MOZART EFFECT TO IMPROVE PROBLEM-SOLVING SKILLS AND MATHEMATICAL DISPOSITION

The background of this research is that student learning outcomes in analytical geometry lecture during the transition from pandemic to Covid-19 endemic are still low, which is due to a lack of student interest in learning, and they are still accustomed to online learning, thus having an impact on their low problem-solving skills and mathematical disposition. This research aims to determine to what extent the implementation of ethnomathematics and the Mozart effect can improve students' problem-solving skills and mathematical disposition in analytical geometry lecture during the transition from pandemic to endemic COVID-19, so the research is important to do. The implementation of ethnomathematics and the Mozart effect in mathematics learning is unique because it is a combination of learning approaches that have never been used before in Indonesia and other countries. The research method used was a quasi-experimental non-equivalent control group design because this research was experimental and sample determination was not carried out randomly, but using purposive sampling technique on the second-semester students of the mathematics undergraduate program, Faculty of Mathematics and Natural Sciences, Universitas Padjadjaran. The instruments used in this study were problem-solving skills test, mathematical disposition scale, and students’ attitude questionnaire toward learning with the implementation of ethnomathematics and the Mozart effect. The results showed that: (1) problem-solving skills of students who received learning by implementing ethnomathematics and the Mozart effect are better than students who achieved direct instruction; (2) mathematical disposition of students who received learning by implementing ethnomathematics and the Mozart effect is better than students who achieved direct instruction; and (3) students are interested and motivated to learn mathematics by implementing ethnomathematics and the Mozart effect. This research concludes that the implementation of ethnomathematics and the Mozart effect can improve students' problem-solving skills and mathematical disposition in analytical geometry lecture during the transition period from the pandemic to endemic COVID-19. It can be seen from good average post test scores achieved by students.

Converting an interprofessional opioid use disorder simulation from high-fidelity to an online branching pathway scenario

The Covid-19 pandemic caused a disruption in teaching for institutions across the country, particularly for those using simulation-based education. Our team converted a live high-fidelity simulation (HFS) into an online virtual simulation using a storyline and branching pathway approach. The team collaborated with multimedia specialists in video production to create a branching path simulation (BPS), taking interprofessional teams of online students through several decision-making points of a patient's experience in the emergency department (ED). Video vignettes of simulation decision points are incorporated throughout the simulation, with a final outcome eventually emerging. The TeamSTEPPS® Teamwork Attitudes Questionnaire (T-TAQ) was administered before and after the online simulation and descriptive data analysis (paired sample t-test) was conducted using SPSS statistical software. A post simulation satisfaction survey was similarly analyzed.

The data were analyzed using the Spearman rho test and obtained a value of p= 0.000 and a value of 0,516, meaning that there is a relationship between attitudes and adherence to the use of Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) in Ngimbang Hospital. The result showed the nurses who had high motivation and high compliance were 46 nurses (52.3%). The research data were analyzed using the Spearman rho test and obtained a value of p= 0.000 and a value of 0,508, maintaining the health and comfort of nurses in any type of work environment, especially in a hospital.

ATTITUDE OF ELEMENTARY SCHOOL TEACHERS TOWARDS INCLUSIVE CLASSROOM AT ELEMENTARY STAGE

The present study has made an attempt to find out the attitude of elementary school teachers towards inclusive classroom. Teacher’s attitude has a significant role in implementing the inclusive education in classroom.The populationof the study comprised of all the elementary teachers of Puri district. Out of this, 70 teachers were selected through incidental sampling from 20 schools of Nimapara Block of Puri district. Teachers’ attitude towards inclusive classroom was studied on the basis of three demographic variables i.e. locality, qualification and experience. The study was descriptive in nature and two tools (attitude scale and questionnaire) were used for data collection. The findings of the study revealed that (i) There is no significant difference in the attitude of rural and urban teachers towards inclusive classroom (ii) No significant difference is foundin the attitude of more qualified and less qualified teachers towards inclusive classroom and (iii)No significant difference isfoundin the attitude of more experienced and less experienced teachers towards inclusive classroom. Moreover, 90 percent teachers’ perceived inclusion is a desirable educational practice as inclusive classroom facilitates participation, encourage cooperation and enhance learning achievement of students. Only 10 percent teachers perceived inclusion negatively. The study has analysed some of the barriers to the development of successful inclusive practices and suggested the ways for overcoming these difficulties and to reconsider the roles, responsibilities and identities of teachers.
