Adherence to antiretroviral therapy among HIV patients at a hospital in Tacna, Peru

ObjectiveThis study aims to provide an overview of antiretroviral therapy adherence and its related factors within a hospital in southern Peru. Materials and methodsWe conducted an analytical cross-sectional study spanning from April to October 2022. This study involved a review of medical records and the administration of a survey to individuals living with Human Immunodeficiency Virus. Adherence to antiretroviral treatment was assessed using the CEAT-HIV (Questionnaire for the Evaluation of Antiretroviral Treatment Adherence), and was categorized as high, adequate, insufficient, or low. The statistical analysis included the calculation of crude and adjusted prevalence ratios (PRs). ResultsOur study comprised 300 participants, with a median age of 30 years, predominantly male (78.3 %). Among these individuals, 83 % exhibited low or insufficient adherence to antiretroviral treatment according to the CEAT-VIH scale. Notably, patients with a viral load >50,000 copies/ml scored higher on the CEAT-VIH scale than those with a viral load <400 (adjusted PR: 2.78, 95 % CI: 1.21 to 6.40). Furthermore, a higher level of education and a viral load below 400 copies/ml were associated to higher scores in the treatment compliance dimension of the CEAT-VIH scale. ConclusionEight out of ten evaluated patients exhibited low or insufficient adherence. While lower adherence was correlated with lower education, the connection between viral load and adherence remains inconclusive.

Credit Risk Assessment of Heavy-Polluting Enterprises: A Wide-ℓp Penalty and Deep Learning Approach

Effective credit risk assessment of heavy-polluting enterprises can achieve a balance between environmental and economic benefits. It requires the consideration of risk indicators for both the carbon information dimension and the compliance dimension. However, as the feature dimensions of the model continue to increase, so does the irrelevant feature or noise. Therefore, we investigate the use of non-integers for regularization from high-dimensional data under the conditions of a large number of irrelevant features. In this paper, a novel Wide-ℓp Penalty and Deep Learning (WPDL) method for credit risk assessment is proposed, which could provide a sparse solution. The Wide-ℓp Penalty component allows feature selection using a linear model with an ℓp Penalty regularization mechanism, where 0 &lt; p ≤ 2. The deep component is a DNN that can generalize indicator features from the credit risk data. The experimental results show that the minimum prediction error occurs at a non-integer ℓp Penalty. Furthermore, the WPDL outperforms other models such as KNN, DT, RF, SVM, MLP, DNN, Gradient Boosting, and Bagging.

Exploring the "Insight Paradox" in Treatment-Resistant Schizophrenia: Correlations Between Dimensions of Insight and Depressive Symptoms in Patients Receiving Clozapine.

There remains a lack of clarity as to the possible cross talk of insight into illness and depressive symptoms in treatment-resistant schizophrenia. We therefore set our primary aim to evaluate relationship between insight dimensions and depressive symptoms in patients with treatment-resistant schizophrenia receiving clozapine. This was a cross-sectional, non-interventional study, conducted in daily clinical practice conditions. Patients in outpatient clinics between March 2020 and May 2020 with treatment-resistant schizophrenia (based on Treatment Response and Resistance in Psychosis), with no comorbid psychiatric disorder, and with no body mass index greater than 40.0 kg/m2 were included. We collected sociodemographic variables, scores of insight dimensions (treatment compliance, illness recognition, and symptom relabeling with the Schedule for Assessment of Insight), and depressive symptoms with Calgary Depression Score for Schizophrenia. Linear regression models were used to investigate variables associated with depressive symptoms as the outcome of interest. The final analysis sample comprised 55 patients with treatment-resistant schizophrenia, with a mean age of 42.48 (SD = 9.18) years and a predominance of the male sex (n = 42, 76.9%). Model 1 [Calgary Depression Score for Schizophrenia ~ (Schedule for Assessment of Insight + Positive and Negative Syndrome Scale)] displayed that 48% of the variation in the Calgary Depression Score for Schizophrenia can be explained by Schedule for Assessment of Insight-composite and Positive and Negative Syndrome Scale-composite (P < .001). More effectively, model 2 [Calgary Depression Score for Schizophrenia ~ (Schedule for Assessment of Insight-illness recognition + Positive and Negative Syndrome Scale-general psychopathology)] revealed that 51% of the variation in the Calgary Depression Score for Schizophrenia can be explained by the sub-scales (P < .001). We further designed a new model in which Global Assessment of Functioning scores were the response variable to explore the link between awareness into illness and functionality (Global Assessment of Functioning ~ Schedule for Assessment of Insight-illness recognition). In this model, awareness of illness did not explain a significant proportion of variance in functionality scores (R 2 = 0.045, F(1,52) = 2.48, P = 0.121). The treatment compliance part of insight was not one of the significant explanatory variables of depressive symptoms, but it explained the variance in functioning, in contrast to the illness recognition dimension of insight. If our findings were replicated in treatment-resistant schizophrenia, they would suggest that promoting treatment compliance dimension of insight instead of recognition of illness could not increase depressive symptoms.

The Predictive Role of Illness Perception on Lymphedema Risk-Management Behaviors in Women After Breast Cancer Surgery: A Longitudinal Study.

Illness perception affects lymphedema risk-management behaviors. However, little is known about these behavioral changes within 6 months after surgery and how illness perception predicts behavioral trajectories. The aim of this study was to explore the trajectories of lymphedema risk-management behaviors in breast cancer survivors within 6 months after surgery and the predictive role of illness perception. Participants were recruited from a cancer hospital in China and completed a baseline survey (Revised Illness Perception Questionnaire) and follow-up assessments (Lymphedema Risk-Management Behavior Questionnaire and the physical exercise compliance dimension of the Functional Exercise Adherence Scale) at the first, third, and sixth months postoperatively. A total of 251 women were analyzed. Regarding the Lymphedema Risk-Management Behavior Questionnaire, the total scores were stable. The scores of the "lifestyle" and "skin care" dimensions showed upward trends; the scores of the "avoiding compression and injury" and "other matters needing attention" dimensions showed downward trends. For "physical exercise compliance," scores remained stable. Furthermore, key illness perceptions (especially "personal control" and "causes") at baseline could predict the starting levels of and changes in behavioral trajectories. Different lymphedema risk-management behaviors exhibited different trajectories and could be predicted by illness perception. Oncology nurses should focus on the early development of behaviors related to "lifestyle" and "skin care" and the later maintenance of "avoiding compression and injury" and "other matters needing attention" during follow-up, as well as help women strengthen their personal control beliefs and correctly understand the causes of lymphedema during hospitalization.

Green human resource management: the role of positive levers of control and environmental performance measures in managing performance

PurposeThis study focuses on the role of green human resource management (GHRM) practices through providing an empirical insight into the mediating role of the use of environmental performance measures (EPMs) in the association between Simons’ (1995) positive levers of control (beliefs and the interactive use of controls) with environmental and organisational performance.Design/methodology/approachA survey questionnaire was distributed to 577 chief financial officers within Australian manufacturing organisations who were randomly chosen from the OneSource online database.FindingsThe use of operational EPMs is found to mediate the association between the use of the positive levers of control with two of the four dimensions of environmental performance (resource usage and stakeholder interaction), and non-financial performance (through stakeholder interaction). In addition, the use of management EPMs mediates the association between the use of the positive levers of control with the regulatory compliance dimension of environmental performance. The findings highlight the importance of GHRM practices, in particular, the need for managers to focus on the positive levers of control and using operational EPMs and management EPMs to a greater extent.Originality/valueThe study contributes to the limited empirical research examining GHRM practices, highlighting the importance of EPMs and integrating such measures with internal control mechanisms, specifically beliefs and the interactive use of controls.

ESG impact of Michigan and Indiana right-to-work laws

ABSTRACT We examine the Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) performance of Michigan and Indiana companies before and after they passed the Right-to-Work (RTW) laws in 2012 by referencing it against that of companies in states with and without RTW laws. Our findings indicate that after the laws were passed the Environmental and Social performance of companies in these two states declined on the compliance dimension and so did some of their Social performance on the proactive dimension. Outside of some of the common trends in the ESG performance of companies in states with and without RTW laws, the Social performance of companies in states without RTW laws declined on the proactive dimension as well after the laws were passed. Performance pertaining to Governance was unaffected for companies after the enactments.
