Impervious to Elite Influence: Americans’ ACA Attitudes, 2009–2020

The Affordable Care Act (ACA) was a central issue dividing Republicans and Democrats for the decade following its 2010 enactment. As such, it offers key lessons about policy making and public opinion during a highly polarized political period. The author draws out some of those lessons from his 2023 book Stable Condition: Elites’ Limited Influence on Health Care Attitudes, detailing how polarization shaped both the elite- and mass-level politics of the ACA. At the elite level, polarization and nationalization within the federal and state governments laid the groundwork for a highly complex law that was a patchwork of policies experienced very differently by different Americans. At the mass level, polarization and nationalization contributed to a remarkable level of stability in public opinion, so much so that even direct beneficiaries of the law did not typically become markedly more positive toward it. Elite efforts at opinion leadership through policy making and messaging were largely unsuccessful.

Hubungan Perilaku Gotong Royong dengan Sikap Integrasi Nasional Peserta Didik Kelas X di SMA Batik 1 Surakarta

Various current developments have caused various phenomena of civic character that are in accordance with the spirit of Pancasila to begin to fade, one of which is mutual cooperation behavior. This is certainly not in accordance with the basic guidelines of the Indonesian state, namely Pancasila, which is closely linked to the spirit of unity. The problem of low levels of mutual cooperation behavior was discovered by researchers based on observations made on class X students at SMA Batik 1 Surakarta. The decline in mutual cooperation between students is characterized by a lack of caring attitude, egoism of students who prioritize their own interests, individualistic attitudes, and low awareness of students' responsibilities in a collaborative project. Given the related problems, it is necessary to strengthen mutual cooperation behavior among the nation's generations through education. One of them is through Pancasila Education as part of Citizenship Education. This research is research with a correlational quantitative approach. This research aims to prove whether there is a relationship between mutual cooperation behavior and the attitude of national integration of class X students at SMA Batik 1 Surakarta. The variables in this research are mutual cooperation behavior and national integration attitudes. The population in this study was all students in class X SMA Batik 1 Surakarta, totaling 450. The sample in this study was 84 students in classes X-5 and Data collection techniques through questionnaires. Data analysis uses normality, linearity and hypothesis testing. The results of the research show that there is a significant relationship between mutual cooperation behavior and the attitude of national integration of class X students at SMA Batik 1 Surakarta. These results are marked with R, namely 0.603 and a Sig value. namely 0.00. The correlation of behavior and attitudes in the results of this research strengthens the Theory of Planned Behavior.

Analysis of ecological literacy level and creative thinking skills of college students

Higher education institution is one of educational institutions that serve as a place of cultural values, and norms expected to become a foundation to foster caring attitudes toward the environment. These attitudes are accordingly meant to develop ecological literacy in order to overcome environmental problems which are likely to be minimized by combining ecological literacy and creative thinking skills. A quantitative descriptive with correlational study was employed in this research. There were 275 college students from three areas in Indonesia, namely Jakarta, Sumatera, and Gorontalo involved as respondents of the research. Data was collected by means of Google Forms consisting of tests and opinions. The ecological literacy was analyzed using dimensions of caring, practical competence, and knowledge while the creative thinking skills were analyzed using dimensions of fluency, originality, flexibility, and elaboration. This research is limited to students in the Department of Science and Non-Science. Findings of the research indicates that the ecological literacy level is in the medium category, whereas the creative thinking skills are good.

Perceptions of Dementia and Dementia Care Among African Immigrants in Minnesota: Insights From Community Conversations.

This qualitative descriptive study explored the perceptions of dementia, dementia care, and caregiving within the African immigrant community. Six community conversations (focus groups) were held with 24 participants. Three conversations were led by project advisory board members and utilized a 12-question conversation guide. The recorded conversations were transcribed and analyzed using thematic analysis. Of the 24 African immigrants who participated, 52% were 55-75 years old, 67% identified as female, and 39% were married or cohabitating. Twenty percent were currently providing care to a relative with dementia and 40% had provided care to a relative with dementia in the past. Four themes were identified. These included (1) attitudes toward mental health, illnesses, and poor health, (2) community attitudes toward dementia, and dementia caregiving, (3) barriers to dementia care and caregiving, and (4) current dementia care resources in the African immigrant community. The findings show that African immigrant cultural beliefs significantly shape dementia care and caregiving attitudes, preferences, and behavioral practices. African immigrants' cultural backgrounds influence (or have the potential to influence) timely access and engagement in dementia care. And, depending on how deeply held these cultural beliefs are, they could affect dementia care and caregiving both positively and negatively. With the rapidly growing immigrant older adult population, there is a need for systemic strategies to facilitate affordable and culturally responsive dementia care for African immigrants and other minoritized older adults.

Race, partisanship, and the distinctiveness of vaccine hesitancy in health care attitudes

ABSTRACT Partisanship has served a dominant role in influencing public opinion on health reform in the United States in the past decade. Republicans are significantly less supportive than Democrats of expanding the Affordable Care Act and implementing broader government insurance provisions. With the onset of the pandemic, partisan divisions have also spilled over into polarized attitudes on public health measures to curb the spread of COVID-19 and vaccine uptake. The influence of partisanship should not be overstated, however, particularly when examining public opinion across racial groups. Black Americans were among the strongest proponents of health reform during the passage of the Affordable Care Act, and they remained strong supporters of Democratic-led proposals to expand health insurance access and of many public health measures to curb the spread of COVID-19. But high levels of Democratic partisanship alone cannot explain the dynamics of Black public opinion on vaccination, an issue for which Black Democrats consistently show more skepticism than white Democrats. Using multiple sources of nationally representative survey data from 2016 to 2022, this study illustrates how self-interest and racialized experiences with the government and the health care system help explain the distinctive racial divide in vaccination attitudes.

Virtual reality-based simulation learning on geriatric oral health care for nursing students: a pilot study

BackgroundThere is a great need for training and education in the nursing curriculum to improve nurses’ knowledge and skills to provide oral health care.MethodsA pilot study was conducted to evaluate the use of a virtual reality (VR)-based Oral Health Care Learning System to train geriatric oral health care among nursing students. Fifty undergraduate nursing students were randomly assigned to experimental (n = 25) and control (n = 25) groups. The experimental group received the VR-based simulation training on geriatric oral health care and the training was implemented twice at two weeks apart from March to November 2021. The control group did not receive the training intervention. Knowledge, attitude, and self-efficacy of geriatric oral health care as well as the intention to assist oral health care for older adults were assessed at the beginning, second, and fourth weeks. Generalized estimating equations were used to analyze the effectiveness of the VR-based simulation training.ResultsAfter the first round of training, students in the experimental group had significantly greater improvements in knowledge and self-efficacy of geriatric oral health care than in the control group. After the second round of training, students in the experimental group had significantly greater improvements in knowledge, attitude, and self-efficacy of geriatric oral health care as well as the intention to assist oral health care for older adult than in the control group.ConclusionsThe VR-based simulation training was effective to improve undergraduate nursing students’ knowledge, attitudes and self-efficacy of geriatric oral health as well as the intention to assist oral health care for older adults. The VR-based simulation learning system is an effective tool to provide practice experiences to build confidence and skills and to bridge the gap of understudied geriatric oral health content in entry-level nursing curricula.Trial RegistrationClinicalTrials.gov (NCT05248542; registration date 21/02/2022).

Pengetahuan Zakat Dalam Islam Untuk Masyarakat

One of the pillars of Islam is paying zakat. Zakat is part of the assets we have that we must spend if we have reached the specified conditions. For Muslims who have the means, of course they are obliged to pay zakat, for example when paying zakat fitrah in the month of Ramadan. Zakat will be distributed to people who are entitled to receive it. The existence of the obligation of zakat is stated in the Koran and must be believed by every Muslim. The purpose of zakat is to train our caring attitude towards the people around us, and to become a form of obedience of Muslims to Allah SWT. in fulfilling obligations. In giving zakat we need to be sincere, without expecting anything in return. Because by giving zakat, the blessings we get do not decrease but increase. However, there are still Muslims who are reluctant to contribute to paying zakat due to their lack of awareness of zakat obligations and the wisdom of zakat itself. Therefore, there is a need for further explanation regarding what zakat is, what its benefits are, what the law is in Islam and the wisdom of giving zakat.

"A part of my life". A qualitative study about perceptions of female genital mutilation and experiences of healthcare among affected women residing in Sweden.

Female genital mutilation (FGM) is defined as all procedures involving partial or total removal of the external female genitalia, or other injuries to them for non-medical reasons. Due to migration, healthcare providers in high-income countries need to better understand the consequences of FGM. The aim of this study was to elucidate women's experiences of FGM, with particular focus on perceived health consequences and experiences of healthcare received in Sweden. A qualitative study was performed through face-to-face, semi-structured interviews with eight women who had experienced FGM in childhood, prior to immigration to Sweden. The transcribed narratives were analyzed using content analysis. Three main categories were identified : "Living with FGM", "Living with lifelong health consequences" and "Encounters with healthcare providers". The participants highlighted the motives behind FGM and their mothers' ambivalence in the decision process. Although the majority of participants had undergone FGM type 3, the most severe type of FGM, the lifelong health consequences were diverse. Poor knowledge about FGM, insulting attitude, and lack of sensitive care were experienced when seeking healthcare in Sweden. Our findings indicate that FGM is a complex matter causing a diversity in perceived health consequences in women affected. Increased knowledge and awareness about FGM among healthcare providers in Sweden is of utmost importance. Further, this subject needs to be addressed in the healthcare encounter in a professional way.

Literature review on Curriculum Development

Background: Curriculum development in medical education is vital at all educational levels, from undergraduate to postgraduate and professional education focused on patient care. Understanding the systematic approach to curriculum development and evaluation is essential for maximizing the potential of medical education initiatives. Objective: The objective of this review was to explore and synthesize the existing literature on curriculum development in medical education, focusing on the processes and outcomes, and to provide recommendations for effective curriculum design and implementation. Methods: A comprehensive literature review was conducted using multiple electronic databases, including PubMed, MEDLINE, ERIC, Scopus, Web of Science, and Google Scholar. The search terms included "curriculum development," "medical education," "learning outcomes," "educational strategies," "assessment tools," "curriculum implementation," and "curriculum evaluation." Articles published in peer-reviewed journals were included based on relevance and methodological rigor. Data were synthesized using a narrative approach. Results: The review identified three types of curricula: explicit, implicit, and null. The explicit curriculum is structured and publicly available with clear learning objectives. The implicit curriculum is influenced by geographical, political, and socioeconomic contexts. The null curriculum refers to aspects not covered despite being planned. Key steps in curriculum development included needs assessment, content determination, goal and objective setting, selection of educational strategies, implementation, and evaluation. Educational strategies varied, including lecture-based learning, hands-on skill delivery, flipped classroom, and case-based learning. Continuous evaluation, both formative and summative, was essential for curriculum adaptation and improvement. Conclusion: A systematic approach to curriculum development in medical education ensures comprehensive and adaptive educational programs. This process addresses the diverse and evolving needs of learners and society, ultimately enhancing the quality of medical education. Effective curricula prepare healthcare professionals with the necessary knowledge, skills, and attitudes for high-quality patient care and adaptability to changing healthcare environments.

Menopausal Hormone Therapy, an Ever-Present Topic: A Pilot Survey about Women's Experience and Medical Doctors' Approach.

Background and Objective: Menopause can be associated with many clinical manifestations: vasomotor symptoms, urogenital problems, and additional psychological disturbances, such as anxiety, mood changes, and sleep alterations. The prolonged lack of hormones also increases the risk of long-term consequences. Hormone Replacement Treatment (HRT) in menopause consists of the administration of estrogen, alone or associated to progesterone, to relieve these uncomfortable disturbances and to prevent the onset of other pathologic conditions. The aim of this study is to examine the prevalence of HRT use in a sample of menopausal women and their experience with menopause and HRT. This study also investigates the knowledge of general practitioners (GPs) and gynecologists about HRT and its prescription. Materials and Methods: We conducted a cross-sectional population survey on 126 women of 50-59 years in an industrial city in the North of Italy, Vercelli (Novara), in Eastern Piedmont. We also presented a questionnaire on the topic to 54 medical doctors (GPs and gynecologists) of the same area. Results: The prevalence of HRT use in our sample was 11.9%. In total, a good percentage of the users affirmed to be satisfied with HRT. Additionally, a minority of women reported being ideally against the use of replacement hormones, were advised against using HRT by doctors, and did not use it because of the fear of side effects. We found a positive association between patient education, health care attitude, and HRT usage. A significant number of women knew about HRT from the media, and most of them were not informed by a health professional. Despite this, the interviewed doctors considered their knowledge about HRT as 'good' and would recommend HRT: only 5.6% would not prescribe it. Conclusions: Our results highlight the need for information about HRT among patients and health professionals, along with the need for more effective communication, evaluation, and suggestion of treatment.

Sexual Orientation, Gender Identity, and COVID-19 Vaccine Skepticism: A Global Assessment [ID 2683475

INTRODUCTION: The effect of sexual orientation (SO) and gender identity (GI) on pandemic-related behaviors is poorly understood, with conflicting prevention adherence in communities. We sought to delineate how SOGI relates to COVID vaccine skepticism to understand sexual orientation’s effect on COVID risks. METHODS: This analytical cross-sectional study in seven languages examined SOGI and COVID-19 vaccine skepticism in 158 countries. SO was the primary independent variable, with 4,360 people self-identifying as heterosexual, lesbian/gay, bisexual, queer, or another SO. Primary outcome was a summative scale of six four-point Likert-scale questions ascertaining COVID-19 vaccine skepticism (VSS; range: 0–18). Multivariate logistic regression rendered adjusted odds ratios (aORs) with 95% CIs. Our IRB determined that STUDY00004825 met federal/university criteria for exemption. RESULTS: Heterosexual men had the highest mean VSS (mVSS: 7.6; 95% CI, 7.3, 7.9), significantly higher than heterosexual women (mVSS: 6.7; 6.5, 6.9), lesbian women (mVSS: 4.8; 3.2, 6.4), and gay men (mVSS: 4.6; 3.5, 5.7). mVSS for people identifying as bisexual was 5.4 (95% CI, 4.9, 6.1), as queer was 4.5 (3.3, 5.7), and as another SO was 5.8 (4.8, 6.8). Adjusting psychosocial factors, social media use, perceived oppression, science/health care attitudes, geography, and gender, heterosexuals (aOR 2.6; 95% CI, 1.5, 4.5) and bisexuals (aOR 2.9; 1.4, 5.8) were significantly more likely to have VSS over mean than did lesbians/gays. CONCLUSION: Those with lesbian/gay SO were significantly less likely than those of other SOs to be skeptical of the COVID vaccine, even after controlling for important confounders, including gender. Better understanding dynamics in lesbian/gay communities that promote lower vaccine skepticism could help generate novel public health strategies for the LGBTQ+ and other communities.

The influence of the project for strengthening the profile of Pancasila Students on increasing Students' environmental care attitudes at SMP Islam Gandusari, Trenggalek

Stanislavsky’s Legacy: From Vasily Toporkov to Oleg Yefremov and Oleg Tabakov

This article discusses the continuity of Konstantin Stanislavsky’s pedagogy directly to his disciple Vasily Toporkov, and from him to his students Oleg Yefremov and Oleg Tabakov. Toporkov joined the Moscow Art Theatre (MAT) as an actor eleven years before Stanislavsky’s death, which allowed him to participate in the final phase of Stanislavsky’s life’s work and his development of the method of psychophysical actions. Struck by Stanislavsky’s authority, scrutiny, and caring attitude towards all actors, as well as other co-workers of the theatre, Toporkov transmitted this legacy, together with the practical knowledge that he had gained, to Yefremov and Tabakov, recounting vivid stories and anecdotes about Stanislavsky. The article traces the professional development of both men: each founded his own theatre, Yefremov the Sovremennik, and Tabakov the Tabakerka. Thus, whether or not they set out to do so, both Yefremov and Tabakov followed Stanislavsky’s life example, when he founded the MAT. Their decision to follow Stanislavsky’s example was a logical consequence of this great teacher’s life-affirmative, spiritual, material, and intellectual legacy, which is on a par with the most significant humanistic writings. The key spiritual-physical aspects of Stanislavsky’s legacy have been passed down in a straight line from Stanislavsky to his students, from them to their students, and so on, from one generation of the Moscow Art Theatre to the next, until the present day.
