Relationship of Health Belief Model (HBM) with VIA Test Behavior in Women of Childbearing Age

Introduction: Cervical cancer ranks second as the most cancer cases in women. This is due to ineffective early detection programs. Early detection of cervical cancer that can be done is the VIA test, but women's involvement is still minimal. This is because Health Belief in cervical cancer and VIA tests are lacking so that women don’t feel vulnerable and threatened to cervical cancer, don’t feel cervical cancer as a severe disease, don’t know the benefits of IVA tests and don’t feel able to do. The aim of this study was to analyze the relationship between HBM and the behavior of VIA test examination. Methods: This type of research was correlational with a cross sectional approach. The study population was women of childbearing age. Samples of 51 people were taken using the purposive sampling method.The instrument used is a questionnaire. The results of the study were analyzed with the Spearman test. Results: The Health Belief Model among respondents was almost entirely in the moderate category (78.4%). Behavioral VIA test examination was mostly in the positive behavior category (70.6%). There is a relationship between the HBM and VIA test behavior with p value = 0.011 (p value ˂ α (0.05)). Conclusions: Based on the study results, it can be concluded that there is a relationship of Health Belief Model with VIA Test Behavior in Women of Childbearing Age.

Understanding parental secure base support across youth sport contexts in Sweden

The notion of secure base explains how a child can grow and become independent through access to a significant other (i.e., parent) who is available, encouraging, and noninterfering. The purpose of the current study was to develop an understanding of parental secure base support within the context of youth sport in Sweden, with a specific focus on: (a) what parental behaviors constitute a secure base, and (b) how these behaviors differ across contexts (at home before and after sport, at practice and during competitions). An interpretive descriptive methodology (Thorne, 2016) was used. Interviews were conducted with 13 family triads (children aged 12–15 years) and 1 dyad living in Sweden. Analysis was conducted to illuminate associations, patterns, and relationships within the sample. Analysis led to the development of nine categories of parental behaviors that were perceived to underpin a secure base. Availability was seen to comprise physical presence and support provision, being responsive, and developing positive mental representations. Encouragement encompassed demonstrating that sport participation is valued, motivating to explore sporting endeavors, and reinforcing and rewarding persistence in sports. Interference was described as unrequested interference, requested interference, and intentionally constrained involvement. Additionally, influencing factors such as communication, family structure and culture, were identified. The findings provide an empirical illustration for several behaviors that have been perceived as positive in previous literature, as well as highlighting numerous further complexities, particularly as it relates to interference.

210 Sleeping beauties: A daily time budget for individually housed research pigs at 6-d of age

Abstract The pre-wean period of development is difficult to manage and can impact the success of subsequent production stages. Behavior observations can provide insight into the health and welfare status of animals and allow for efficient and timely management interventions. A validated time budget can be utilized as a baseline for further comparisons and the detection of changes in behavior over time. In this project, 24-h of video data for 21 individually housed research pigs at 6 d of age was evaluated using a validated behavior ethogram. The behavior ethogram contained 5 main categories (inactive, consumption, exploratory, social, and other) and 23 behavior labels. The ethogram was applied using a validated sampling strategy, which included 5-min continuous sampling intervals at the start of each hour for active behaviors and 5-min instantaneous sampling intervals for inactive behaviors. The data from each behavior observation was quantified into durations and presented as percentage of observations spent performing a specific behavior label within the observation period. The daily time budget revealed the following time occupation across the 5 main behavior categories: inactive, 98.60% (lying, 85.43%; not lying, 13.14%); consumption, 0.30%; exploratory, 0.97%; social, 0.01%, and other, 0.12%. As expected for very young pigs, most of the day was inactive, with almost 21 h lying. The most performed behavior was “lying socially”, and this behavior represented 38.48% of the overall daily time budget. The remaining 46.95% of time spent lying was spent “lying sternal”, “lying lateral”, or “lying on an object” in the pen. The pigs are housed individually, but they are able to see, hear, and smell a neighboring pig through a plexiglass barrier. The behavior observation “lying socially” is defined as follows: “The piglet is lying (sternal or lateral) touching the plexiglass barrier. The piglet in the adjacent pen is lying directly on the other side of the barrier, and the piglets would be touching each other if the barrier was not in place.” This observation provides insight into the importance of social resting for young pigs.

Populist by a distance: a relational framework for unifying ideology, rhetoric, and leadership style in populism studies

ABSTRACT Theories of populism have been troubled by the problem of essentially contested definitions of its basic properties. It is difficult to distinguish populism from conventional political behavior. This produces the problem of ‘degreeism’, while other features of populism are expressed in relationships rather than as specific categories of attitudes and behaviors. These problems cannot be eliminated by redefining or excluding aspects of populism in favor of a more restrictive definition. We argue that, given that conceptual indeterminacy is inherent in populism, it is better conceptualized as a relational concept. The article articulates a new, relational conception of populist ideology, discourse/rhetoric, and leadership style in terms of relative distance from an implicit ‘center ground’. Populism is marked by position-taking of distance away from the center in policy (distal), a wide distance between people and elites and/or outsiders (distal), and close distance between leaders and followers (proximal). A general, relational model of populism is deduced in this form: distal – distal – proximal. Far from being an abstract claim, we illustrate how the relative distance framework offers descriptive and analytical tools for social scientists focused on populism.

Uncontrolled vaping and restraint strategies: A qualitative study

IntroductionLittle is known about uncontrolled vaping, defined as vaping more than the user prefers. We sought to understand e-cigarette users’ experiences with uncontrolled vaping and how they restrain their vaping. MethodsParticipants were 24 US adult e-cigarette users recruited in 2021. We conducted semi-structured qualitative interviews about uncontrolled vaping and restraint strategies and analyzed findings based on behavioral categories described in the Process Model of Self-Control. ResultsWhile most participants (21 of 24) described experiences of uncontrolled vaping, some expressed ambivalence about how much they vaped. To restrain vaping, willpower was rarely used and was not perceived as effective. Distraction, deployment of attention away from the urge to vape, and reappraisal, thinking differently about vaping such as reminding oneself of health consequences, were common and helped some participants limit use in the moment of wanting to vape. Participants described using both situation selection, choosing to be in situations where e-cigarette use was less possible, and situation modification, modifying their circumstances to restrict opportunities to vape. DiscussionUncontrolled vaping is not yet a well-defined concept for many e-cigarette users. E-cigarette users employed proactive situational strategies that required planning ahead to restrain use and found these strategies more effective compared to reactive strategies. Tobacco control programs and interventions should consider leveraging restraint strategies that people who vape are naturally using and perceive to be effective.

The Influence of Noise Level on the Stress Response of Hospitalized Cats.

The study aimed to investigate the impact of noise levels in the hospital environment on the stress experienced by hospitalized cats undergoing elective ovariohysterectomy surgery. A total of 33 domestic female cats were included in the study, divided into four groups: a control group (CG) and three experimental groups based on ward noise levels: G1 (Quiet, <60 dB), G2 (Medium, between 60 and 85 dB), and G3 (Noisy, >85 dB). Behavioral assessments, respiratory rate (RR), and plasma cortisol levels ([Cort]p) were measured as indicators of stress. A composite measure of stress, termed the final stress value (FSV), was calculated by summing scores across various behavioral categories. Data collection occurred at three time points: immediately following surgery (T1), and at 2 h (T2) and 3 h (T3) post-surgery. FSV and RR were assessed at all three time points (T1, T2, and T3), while [Cort]p levels were measured at T1 and T3. The study observed that the median values of FSV, RR, and [Cort]p tended to increase with both higher noise levels and longer exposure durations to noise. Significant differences in RR were found between group pairs G1G2 at T1 (|D| = 0.63 < cut-off = 0.98), and G2G3 at T2 (|D| = 0.69 < cut-off = 0.97). Regarding [Cort]p, significant differences were noted between the CGG1 group pair at T0 (p < 0.01), and T3 (p = 0.03). Furthermore, an excellent Spearman correlation coefficient (rho = 0.91) was found between FSV and RR, indicating that RR can serve as an effective tool for assessing stress levels in cats. The findings of this study provide valuable insights into the welfare of cats in a hospital environment and support the scientific validity of existing recommendations aimed at improving their well-being. Specifically, the study underscores the importance of minimizing noise levels in hospitals as a means to reduce stress in cats. This conclusion aligns with existing guidelines and recommendations for enhancing the welfare of hospitalized cats.

Does the type of privacy-protective behaviour matter? An analysis of online privacy protective action and motivation

ABSTRACT Individual decisions to protect privacy online are complex. Most research has treated privacy protection measures as a single, unitary category. This paper challenges this notion by looking at multiple categories of privacy protection behaviour. Our data are from the Oxford Internet Survey (OxIS) as well as insights from the semi-structured interviews. We find two types of privacy protective actions, which we call security actions and preventive actions. We use logistic regression, based on protection motivation theory, to investigate what leads people to take either type of action. The contribution of this research is three-fold. First, it shows that individual privacy protection cannot be treated as a single category. Second, it demonstrates that there are different motivations underlying different privacy protection actions. Finally, it proposes an expansion of protection motivation theory to include a contextual aspect based on Nissenbaum (2009, Privacy in context. Stanford University Press). This expansion considers the privacy context defined by actor, activity, values and norms. We suggest that future work on privacy should consider multiple categories and contextual settings.

Personal Resources and Expectations and Health Behaviors Among Solid Organ Transplant Recipients—A Multicenter Study

BackgroundThe long-term success of organ transplantation (Tx) depends on the transplant recipient's ability to self-manage symptoms, treatment, lifestyle changes, and psychosocial consequences. Health behavior (HB) determinants include personality traits such as optimism, self-efficacy, and health locus of control. PurposeAssessing the relationship between personal resources and expectations and health behaviors of organ transplant recipients. Material and methodsThe study was conducted between 01/04/2018 and 30/10/2019 at 3 transplant centers in Poland. The study group consisted of 243 Tx recipients of kidney, heart, liver, and lung. The Health Behavior Inventory, Multidimensional Health Locus of Control Scale (MHLC), General Self-Efficacy Scale, Dispositional Optimism Scale, and Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale were used to collect data. FindingsThe study group had medium levels of dispositional optimism (mean 15) and high levels of self-efficacy (mean 30.18). The MHLC scale was dominated by a belief in the influence of others and an internal locus of control over one's health. The respondents presented a high level of HB (mean 92.09). A positive relationship was found between personal resources (self-efficacy and optimism), MHLC and HB. The presence of depression and anxiety negatively affected personal resources and internal locus of health control and HB in terms of a positive mental attitude. Type of Tx differentiated internal locus of health control and HB. Predictors of HB were dispositional optimism, self-efficacy, influence of others with health locus of control, symptoms of depression, age and time since transplantation-explaining between 6.1% and 14.5% of health behavior categories. ConclusionsTo improve health practices among organ recipients, strengthening their personal resources is recommended. It is necessary to form an internal locus of control for adherence to positive HB.

Play à la mode

ABSTRACT How do we imagine play? Are there as if models or metaphors that underlie and influence our understanding of play and, if so, how do they affect the questions that we ask about this phenomenon? The goal of my talk is to call attention to the model of play that views it as a mode or disposition that can be adopted toward any activity and not, itself, a separate category of behavior. This is not a new argument but I suggest that it is one that needs to be examined in more detail. Central to this approach is the need to understand how play is produced, interpreted and also used in specific situations by all participants: players and researchers. This means recognizing that the goals of researchers and the goals of players may differ in several important ways. I explore this view in more detail by turning to three TAASP/TASP Keynote addresses: Gregory Bateson (1977), Norman Denzin (1980) and June Factor (2006). I believe that the perspectives offered by these scholars are important because they complicate our understanding of what play is while also suggesting new ways to examine the way that play is played.

Evidence-Informed Approach to De-Prescribing of Atypical Antipsychotics (AAP) in the Management of Behavioral Expressions (BE) in Advanced Neurocognitive Disorders (NCD): Results of a Retrospective Study

IntroductionDiagnosis of behaviors in advanced neurocognitive disorders (aNCD) is one of exclusion, and the framework has been laid out in DSM-V. However, clinical assessments in aNCD become increasingly unreliable, and commonly used psychometric tools for clinical assessments lack reliability and validity, thereby making outcomes unreliable. Consequently, the syndromic and symptom management approaches for behaviors in aNCD behaviors have yielded poor results. To address this, the focus has shifted towards understanding the ‘meaning’ of behaviors in aNCD, recognizing them as a ‘mode of communication’. To date, there are no existing frameworks to ascribe ‘meaning’ to behaviors in aNCD.ObjectivesLuBAIR™ paradigm is the first step in offering such a framework for understanding the ‘purpose’ and ‘meaning’ of behaviors in NCD. The ‘meaning’ ascribed to each behavioral category was used to guide the use of atypical antipsychotics in their management. De-prescribing was attempted on patients who qualified to enter this retrospective study. De-prescribing was defined as successful if individuals were completely withdrawn from AAP and remained off them for 60 days without the re-emergence of behaviors.MethodsThe data collected on the second occasion, in the successful and failed de-prescribed groups, were compared in this retrospective study. MANOVA, Chi-Square paired t-test statistical analyses were used to detect the differences in the behavioral categories between the two cohorts. Cohen d was used to measure effect size.ResultsPatients who did not have Mis-Identification and Goal-Directed Expressions were more likely to successfully de-prescribe: X2 (1, N = 40) = 29.119 p &lt; 0.0001 and X2 (1, N = 40) = 32.374, p &lt; 0.0001, respectively. Alternatively, the same behavioral categories were more likely present in patients who failed de-prescribing: MANOVA and paired t-test (p &lt; 0.0001). Atypical antipsychotics, in their role as an antipsychotic and mood stabilizer, may be used to manage Mis-Identification and Goal-Directed Expressions, respectively.ConclusionsLuBAIR paradigm has the potential to guide the development of specific behavioral care plans and the use of AAP in managing individual behavioral categories. AAP use can be justified for managing Misidentification and Goal-Directed Expressions. Vocal expressions may warrant the use of AAP, pending further study. The LuBAIR paradigm offers guidance for de-prescribing AAP for all other behavioral categories in the LuBAIR Inventory. This study is also a preliminary step in validating the psychological theories used to support the individual categories. This workshop will educate the participants on the LuBAIR paradigm and its application in developing person-centered interventions for behaviors in a NCD.Disclosure of InterestNone Declared

RESEARCH ON USERS' SUSTAINABLE USE BEHAVIOR IN ONLINE HEALTH COMMUNITY UNDER THE VISION OF SERVICE QUALITY PERCEPTION

This study is based on the theory of social cognition and expectation confirmation theory, on the basis of current online health community research, using a field survey, model and empirical analysis, theory, and system analysis, from the perspective of service quality perception, to explorethe continuous use of users in the online health community. Put forward research hypotheses between variables from the categories of service quality perception, community identity, and continuous use behavior, and construct a model framework between related variables. Through the network questionnaire and other forms of research, to verify the basis of the hypothesis and theoretical model, Through empirical research, it is concluded that service quality perception has a significant influence on users' continuous use behavior; service quality perception significantly affects users' community identity; community identification positively affects users' health knowledge acquisition behavior and health knowledge contribution behavior; community identity mediates the influence of service quality perception and continuous use of users; and the perception of service quality and continuous use influence of users is not valid. In the end of the paper, based on the verification results of the hypothesis, this paper explores the continuous participation promotion strategies of online health community users from the practice level, as well as future research suggestions, to provide theoretical support and practical guidance for the healthy development of the online health community.

Lessons in Developing a Behavioral Coding Protocol to Analyze In-the-Wild Child–Robot Interaction Events and Experiments

Behavioral analyses of in-the-wild HRI studies generally rely on interviews or visual information from videos. This can be very limiting in settings where video recordings are not allowed or limited. We designed and tested a vocalization-based protocol to analyze in-the-wild child–robot interactions based upon a behavioral coding scheme utilized in wildlife biology, specifically in studies of wild dolphin populations. The audio of a video or audio recording is converted into a transcript, which is then analyzed using a behavioral coding protocol consisting of 5–6 categories (one indicating non-robot-related behavior, and 4–5 categories of robot-related behavior). Refining the code categories and training coders resulted in increased agreement between coders, but only to a level of moderate reliability, leading to our recommendation that it be used with three coders to assess where there is majority consensus, and thereby correct for subjectivity. We discuss lessons learned in the design and implementation of this protocol and the potential for future child–robot experiments analyzed through vocalization behavior. We also perform a few observational behavior analyses from vocalizations alone to demonstrate the potential of this field.

Adaptive attention-aware fusion for human-in-the-loop behavioral health detection

Identifying behavioral health is paramount for law enforcement officers to provide appropriate follow-up community care. In the current practice, law enforcement offices manually identify these behavioral health cases to allow the designation of the relevant follow-up resources. In this work, we develop a tool to automatically detect behavioral health cases from police public narrative reports by identifying behavioral health indicator signals. We propose a novel adaptive attention-aware fusion model for detecting behavioral health signals in sensitive police reports. Our model leverages contextual and semantic information from the reports and relevant behavioral health cues as keywords from a pre-trained attention-weighted keyword-based model. Our model also employs label self-attention mechanisms to correlate label embeddings with the report and keyword representations. Furthermore, we propose a novel clustering-based uncertainty-enabled informative sampling query strategy to integrate humans-in-the-loop in the active learning framework to reduce required annotation from experts. This querying strategy selects the most informative and diverse samples for expert annotation. Our experimental results showed that the proposed model outperforms state-of-the-art classifiers on a dataset of 300 manually annotated ground truth police reports, achieving an accuracy of 87.58% and an F1-score of 85.67%. Applying our querying strategy to our proposed model increased the detection of behavioral health, achieving an accuracy of 92% and an F1-score of 91.1%. Also, our proposed model achieves an accuracy score of 93.75% and an F1-score of 93.61% on unseen samples. Lastly, our proposed model demonstrates its interpretability by extracting the keywords associated with each behavioral health category.

Abstract P300: Evaluation of Organizational Behavior in a Rural Cardiology Clinic

Introduction: In the healthcare industry, organizational behavior plays a pivotal role in patient care and staff well-being. Exploring these dynamics in a rural setting may add the unique factors of community engagement, resource allocation, and staffing limitations. Taking steps to understand how these concepts manifest can improve the effectiveness of healthcare delivery and form positive work environments that benefit both patients and providers. Research Question: How do healthcare staff at a rural cardiology clinic operate in the context of organizational behavior? Goal: The goal is to understand the organizational behavior in a rural clinic to optimize healthcare delivery and tackle operational-related challenges. Methods: Conducted in 2022 during the COVID-19 pandemic, this study employed a mixed-methods approach featuring interviews with staff at the rural Georgia cardiology clinic of Lake Country Medical Group (LCMG) and a five-point Likert scale survey of twenty-three questions developed from qualitative data gathered through the interviews. The survey queried organizational behavior concepts such as job satisfaction, communication, and leadership, with answers being graded on a scale of 1 being “strongly disagree” to 5 being “strongly agree.” Descriptive statistics were used to analyze survey responses. Results: Twenty LCMG staff responded to the survey. Key survey results were analyzed according to organizational behavior categories (Figure 1). Qualitative data from interviews described operational inefficiencies and day-to-day challenges including scheduling issues, billing difficulties, and deficient recordkeeping perpetuated by “siloed” teams at the clinic. Conclusion: LCMG faces some operational challenges that can be ameliorated by organizational behavior approaches. Solutions oriented around enhancing synchronous work, cross-training, and stress-reduction could improve staff well-being and ultimately lead to improved patient care.

Electronic tags reveal high migratory diversity within the largest Atlantic halibut (Hippoglossus hippoglossus) stock

Growing evidence suggests that complex spatial structure occurs within the Scotian Shelf and southern Grand Banks (SSGB) Atlantic halibut stock, yet large knowledge gaps remain about diversity of migratory and spawning behaviors. Here, 71 pop-up satellite archival tags were deployed on large Atlantic halibut (FL: 87–166 cm) between 2012 and 2020. Migration tracks were successfully reconstructed for 43 fish using a hidden Markov geolocation model, and temperature and depth time series were available for an additional nine fish (total n = 52). Five migratory behavior categories were identified: shelf residency, slope residency, shelf-channel migration, shelf-slope migration, and dispersal. High-resolution data for four of 20 physically recovered tags provided evidence of putative spawning behavior in deep channels on the continental shelf and along the continental slope between January and February. Additionally, four halibut displayed previously undocumented periods of sustained, oscillatory vertical movements along the continental slope between November and February. The high migratory diversity observed in this study provides support for the existence of multiple resident and migratory contingents in the SSGB stock in the apparent absence of significant genetic structure.

Results: Food Handler stands were 6 Food Handlers in the good category with a percentage of 75%. And 2 Food Handlers in the sufficient category with a percentage of 25%, so that the results of all aspects of observation are classified as good. In the respondent's knowledge category, there were 5 respondents in the good category with a percentage of 63%, and 3 respondents in the sufficient category with a percentage of 37%, so that the knowledge aspect was classified as good. In the respondent's attitude category, it is dominated by the good attitude category with a percentage of 75%. And there are 2 frequencies in the very good category with a percentage of 25%, so that the attitude category is classified as good. In the behavior category, the results obtained were 6 respondents in the good category with a percentage of 75% and 2 respondents in the sufficient category with a percentage of 25%. Conclusion: aspect of the Food Handler is classified as good so that the recommendations are that it needs to be improved on components that have not met the requirements.

A Review of Virtual Impression Management Behaviors and Outcomes

Over the past half century, virtual interactions have become a mainstay of contemporary organizations, whether leveraged for formal job interviews or day-to-day communication. Despite this central role, there is a lack of a holistic understanding of how employees make and manage impressions in these virtual contexts. In this article, we review, organize, and evaluate the state of the growing body of cross-disciplinary research on virtual impression management. We develop a guiding theoretical framework that identifies three categories of virtual impression management behavior (verbal, nonverbal, and meta behavior) that meaningfully alter impressions, and the conditions under which these outcomes vary. Through considering this body of research as a whole, we highlight that virtual interactions are quite rich when it comes to creating impressions. By illustrating where virtual impression management research has concentrated thus far, our review enables us to conclude by offering an agenda for future research on virtual impression management.

Autism Spectrum Disorder Diagnostic Scale – Revised

The main aim of this study is to empirically prove the Diagnostic Accuracy Scale to diagnosis of people with autism spectrum disorders (ASD), the sample of participants has been extended, paying special attention to students over 14 years of age, adapting the activities and, therefore, the indices-criteria of the observation factors. A total of 94 students have participated in the study, whose coded data allow us to corroborate the data found in the initial scale, facilitating a precise and exhaustive diagnosis of the disorder by levels. The diagnostic conclusions were based on the gaussian curve found from the typical scores obtained from the direct scores obtained in the ten dimensions of the analysis, made up of three dimensional categories, whose percentage weighting is as follows: 1) the procedural category (60%), 2) the social dimensional category (20%), and 3) the behavioural dimensional category (20%), the overall sum of which allows the diagnostic conclusions of the disorder to be drawn, both at a general level and according to the specific level of ASD. The percentage levels are justified by the empirical studies of the study. Thus, the stepwise linear regression analysis carried out includes two dimensions corresponding to the procedural category as basic predictors of the disorder: I) semantic retrieval (Beta: .90, R2: .82), and II) relationship between retrieval (Beta: .57) and interconcepts or relationships (R2: .82). 57) and interconcepts or relationships between information (Beta: .35), being the overall constant (Beta: .92, R2: .84), ahead of the social or behavioural dimensions, which supports the importance of the procedural dimension, especially related to the development of nodes or relationships between information content in determining the specific criteria for the diagnosis of ASD.
