Beyond the Books: COVID-19's Influence on Future Life Behaviors of Aspiring Medical and Health Professionals.

The lifestyle of most people was forced to change due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Perhaps after the pandemic, we will find that these subtle changes in life and from the depths of our hearts are thorough and profound. They may form our conceptual consensus and behavioral habits, becoming part of our long-term personal consciousness. This study explored the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic on the future life behavior intentions of medical and health-related students studying at universities in China. Electronic questionnaires were distributed to students studying at 3 universities in China. A total of 251 valid questionnaires were obtained, and the chi-squared test was used to compare the corresponding groups. In the future, students plan to pay more attention to wearing masks and maintaining social distance in public places, do more online shopping, have more meals at home or in the canteen, engage in less international travel, and have fewer gatherings with friends. However, compared with Chinese students, more non-Chinese students plan to increase domestic and international travel and reduce online learning. Furthermore, only among non-Chinese students did gender, urban or rural origin, and family economic conditions influence how the COVID-19 pandemic affected their future life behaviors. The COVID-19 pandemic changed the future life behavior intentions of medical and health-related students. The future behaviors of these students will impact the entire society. This study will help the government and policymakers predict and prepare for general lifestyle changes in our society.

Assessment of the knowledge, attitude, and practice of childbearing mothers in the geographically coastal region of Bangladesh for cleanliness and food safety of food security.

Household hygiene and food safety are essential parts of food security; better food safety and hygiene will help reduce the chances of illness for young children and family members rarely studied in the selected area of coastal Bangladesh. The study aimed to discover the knowledge, attitude, and practice levels for cleanliness, hygiene, and food safety in the household. In this study, we employed a cross-sectional survey with simple random sampling to collect data from 384 childbearing mothers. The survey used the pretested, validated, and standardized (knowledge, attitude, and practice) questionnaire-model-based interview guide. According to our study analysis, the knowledge, attitude, and practice scores among mothers were inadequate for household cleanliness and hygiene management. In the area context, knowledge efficiency was related to family type (joint and nuclear). Family economic conditions strongly influenced mothers' attitudes and behavior toward knowledge, attitude, and practice score. Unemployed and illiterate mothers have lower knowledge, attitude, and practice scores. Educated mothers have better knowledge, attitude, and practice score compared to illiterate mothers (p < 0.014). Nuclear family knowledge, attitude, and practice attitude was much greater (p < 0.04) and wealthier families showed better practice (p < 0.001) toward cleanliness and food safety in the household level. The study discovered the mothers' and household members' attention need to improve the knowledge, attitude, and practice toward proper hygiene and food safety at the household level of marginalized populations in coastal Bangladesh.

The dynamics of the role of women workers abroad to improve the family economy

Family economics is a branch of microeconomics that focuses on managing resources to ensure an individual's or small-scale family's survival. It examines how a family's economic status influences their consumption level. It is assumed that as the economic level of a family improves, their expenditures also increase. As household income increases, families tend to purchase more goods and may adopt a more materialistic lifestyle, seeking higher-quality products. This study aims to explore the economic conditions of families with female overseas laborers (TKWs) and understand how their participation in work abroad affects their family's income. The qualitative research method employed in this study utilizes a phenomenological approach, which involves structured interviews, participant observation, and documentation. Primary and secondary data sources are used to collect data. The research findings suggest that the involvement of TKWs has been beneficial in enhancing the family economy. The condition is evident from comparing income levels before and after individuals become TKWs. Women's primary motivation for overseas work is to boost their income.

NIKAH MUDA DALAM PANDANGAN MASYARAKAT DESA KEPULAUAN SIMEULUE (Studi Kasus di Desa Lubuk Baik, Kec. Alafan, Simeulue, Aceh)

Young marriage, in the view of the Simeulue community, is a new fact that is present today in a society that aims to avoid violence among teenagers. Young marriage is a sacred bond performed by a pair of teenage men and women who should not be married yet. The purpose of this study is to explain the views of the Simeulue community about the factors that influence the rise of young marriage and the social impact of young marriage. This research uses qualitative methods with data collection techniques through observation, interviews, and documentation. The results showed that the factors that influence parents to allow children to marry young are economic factors and environmental factors.

The relationship between physical activity and stroke in middle-aged and elderly people after controlling demography variables, health status and lifestyle variables.

The increase in the number of stroke patients in China brain has led to the decline in quality of life and the burden of family economic conditions. This study explored the relationship between stroke and physical activity (PA) in middle-aged and elderly Chinese after controlling Demography, health status and lifestyle variables, providing a new basis for the prevention and treatment of stroke in the elderly. The data is from the 2018 China Health and Retirement Longitudinal study. Five thousand seventy people over 50 years old with complete information on PA, stroke, Demography, health status and lifestyle were included in the analysis. SPSS 27.0 software was used to conduct Z test, logistic regression analysis and linear hierarchical regression analysis on the collected data. The results showed that high-level physical exercise was significantly negatively correlated with stroke (P < .05). After adjusting Demographics characteristics (gender, registered residence type, education level, age, widowhood or not), health status characteristics and living habits (arthritis, bad mood, asthma, hyperlipidemia, disability, memory disease, health self-evaluation, hypertension, smoking, depression), There was still statistical significance (P < .05) between PA and stroke. This study concludes that middle-aged and elderly people with high PA have a lower risk of stroke. In the process of preventing and improving stroke symptoms in the elderly, it is important to maintain high PA while also paying attention to health management and a healthy lifestyle.

RESOLVING GENDER EQUALITY: HOW FAMILY BACKGROUND CAN HELP TO RESOLVE GENDER EQUALITY IN THE EMPLOYMENT CONTEXT

Occupational segregation encompasses two distinct phases: initial labour market entry, characterised as horizontal gender segregation, and subsequent ascension to upper echelons within firms, known as vertical gender segregation. Existing scholarly work has illuminated how the labour market delineates occupations into men-dominated, women-dominated, and mixed-gender spheres (Beller, 1984; Reskin &amp; Hartmann, 1986; Rytina &amp; Bianchi, 1984; Ruijter &amp; Huffman, 2003; May &amp; McGarvey, 2017; Lewandowski et al., 2020). Concurrently, vertical gender segregation, or the glass ceiling, propels men's expedited progression to upper management positions, contributing to male dominance in this realm. This gender disparity is underscored by global senior management statistics, revealing a mere 29% female representation (Catalyst, 2020). This research endeavours to dissect the familial impact on horizontal gender segregation, hypothesising its consequential role in driving vertical gender segregation. An online questionnaire was distributed to seven branches of the private college, and a total of 599 respondents were received. The descriptive statistical analysis was used to investigate which factor(s) of the family background influenced their education selection. The results found that parental role influenced the most decisions, followed by parents’ education and family's economic condition. However, there were no significant differences between the three factors, probably due to the financial assistance they received during their studies.

Analysis of the Impact of Continuous Ambulatory Peritoneal Dialysis on Nutritional Status in Pediatric Chronic Kidney Disease

Background: Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is a serious problem for all age groups, particularly in children. Several studies have shown that patients with CKD who underwent dialysis, including Continuous Ambulatory Peritoneal Dialysis (CAPD), experienced malnutrition, short stature and growth retardation. This study aimed to evaluate the correlation between the indicators of CAPD regiments with the nutritional status of pediatric patients with CKD and factors that influence it.&#x0D; Method: We conducted a cross-sectional study by collecting secondary data from medical records such as disease stage and duration, the most recent CAPD regimen, etiology, and comorbidities. Data on nutritional status was then obtained by measuring body weight, height, and upper arm circumference. The measurement was then plotted using the WHO anthropometry application or the CDC growth chart. Demographic data such as the education level of father and mother, family economic status, age, and gender were obtained by filling out the Case Report Form (CRF).&#x0D; Result: A total of fifteen respondents were included in this study. Children with CKD who underwent CAPD primarily had normal nutritional status with very short stature. Furthermore, no significant association was found between the CAPD regiments with the nutritional status of children with chronic kidney disease who are undergoing CAPD (p&gt;0.05).&#x0D; Conclusion: Children with CKD who underwent CAPD primarily had normal nutritional status with very short stature. There was no correlation between the parameters of CAPD regiments with the nutritional status of CKD patients who underwent CAPD. This indicates that the regiment used in this study is already quite satisfactory as it does not impact the nutritional status of those patients.

Sosialisasi Tingkat Pengetahuan Remaja Terkait Kecukupan Gizi Harian Anak Usia Remaja

Indonesia, as a developing country, generally has more people who are active or work primarily as farmers with middle to lower family economic status and low levels of knowledge. In particular, knowledge of the importance of daily nutritional needs is not very good. Increasing knowledge of daily nutritional needs is very necessary in order to make people aware of the importance of adequate nutrition for the development of the next generation. Various nutritional sources that can be used to increase nutritional intake, and have relatively cheap prices and can be reached by all groups. It is common knowledge that livestock products have complete nutritional content and high levels of nutrition. Among the livestock products that have quite high quality at affordable prices are eggs. Eggs can be used as a complementary source of nutrition, because eggs are an animal product that is rich in nutrients and easily digested by the human body. This community service is carried out in high school with the target of students so that they gain knowledge regarding the importance of nutritional needs for their physical and non-physical development. The results of implementing community service at SMK N 7 Southwest Maluku school went well in accordance with the strategy that had been prepared by the service team. The implementation of community service is generally divided into four sessions, namely the pretest session, the session providing service materials, the posttest session, and the awarding session.

The influence of growth environment on college students’ mental health based on subjective and objective induction perspectives

Abstract The mental health of college students is closely linked to their upbringing environment. This study utilized a scale method to quantitatively assess family economic status, parenting styles, and closeness using subjective and objective induction perspectives. The survey data was obtained by combining Liket multipoint scoring, and the Cronbach’s alpha coefficient was utilized for testing. For the mental health assessment of college students, quantification and summation was conducted through fuzzy qualitative assessment, and the assessment criteria were established using the fuzzy comprehensive assessment method. The predictions were fitted using multiple linear regression after completing the descriptive statistical analysis and mediating role test. The family socioeconomic status factor was used to predict the mental health index of college students, which could reduce the error by 3.8%. The parenting style factor was used to predict the mental health index of college students, which could reduce 7.2% of the error. Using the factor of family closeness to predict the mental health index of college students can reduce the error by 4.2%. By exploring the influence of upbringing on mental health, psychological intervention methods can be better proposed.

Artificial intelligence and intergenerational occupational mobility

Artificial intelligence (AI) has a huge impact on economic development, while the literature focuses on the effect of AI on employment, and little is known about the impact of AI on intergenerational occupational mobility. Using a large, representative survey of individual-level data from the CGSS database, this paper presents novel evidence on the effect of AI on intergenerational occupational mobility. The results indicate that AI significantly increases intergenerational occupational mobility and induces more upward mobility, which stems from AI-induced demand for more high-skilled labors and changes in occupational task attributes. Furthermore, the effect of AI is heterogeneous for different groups in cognitive ability, family economic conditions, paternal educational attainment, and paternal occupational type.

Effects of COVID-19 outbreak on Korean adolescents: Impact of altered economic perception on physical activity, sedentary behavior, and stress levels in an age-, gender-, and BMI-matched study.

The current study is to examine the disparities in physical activity (PA), sedentary behavior (SB), and stress levels in Korean adolescents concerning changes in their perception of family economic status (ES) during COVID-19. Among a total of 6144 Korean adolescents aged 12 to 18, the participants were categorized into two groups based on their responses regarding changes in their family ES due to COVID-19: Declined ES (n = 3072) and Non-changed ES (n = 3072), with matching in terms of age, gender, and BMI. All variables were assessed using the 16th year (2020) of the Korean Youth Risk Behavior Survey. Statistical analyses were conducted using the SPSS 26.0 version, employing independent t-tests to examine anthropometrics' differences and multinominal logistic regression to predict the impact of perception of family ES on PA, SB, and stress while comparing the two groups. The significance level was set at α = 0.05. Adolescents in the Declined ES group were 1.2 times more likely to engage in MVPA for less than 420 mins/wk (OR = 1.16, p = 0.039), 1.7 times more likely to meet recommended muscular strength activities (i.e., ≥ 3 days/wk) (OR = 1.70, p < 0.001), 37% less likely to not meet recommended recreational sitting time (i.e., ≥ 840 mins/wk) (OR = 0.63, p < 0.01), and were 2.1 times more likely to experience very severe stress level than the Non-changed ES group (p < 0.001). These results shed light on the importance of promoting mental health care in adolescents, regardless of PA levels, for their well-being during potential future pandemics. Understanding the impact of perceived ES changes on health behaviors can inform targeted interventions and support strategies to improve the mental health outcomes of adolescents during challenging times.

APAKAH LITERASI KEUANGAN MAMPU MEMPERLEMAH PERILAKU KONSUMTIF MAHASISWA?

Excessive consumptive behavior has a negative impact on students, such as a hedonic lifestyle, an uncontrollable shopping appetite and a tendency to have no savings in the future. The purpose of this study was to analyze the effect of using e-wallets, lifestyle, and family economic conditions on consumptive behavior with financial literacy as a moderating variable. The research population was 115 students of the Faculty of Economics and Business UNNES Bachelor of Economics and Accounting Education class of 2019. The sample was calculated using the Slovin formula so that a total of 89 students were obtained. The sampling technique used is simple random sampling or random sampling. Research data was collected using a questionnaire with the help of google form. The data analysis technique used is descriptive analysis and PLS Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) analysis. The conclusion of this study is that the use of e-wallets and lifestyle have a positive and significant effect on consumptive behavior. The family's economic situation has no effect on consumptive behavior and financial literacy cannot weaken the relationship between e-wallet use, lifestyle and family economic conditions on consumptive behavior. Keywords: E-Wallet, Lifestyle, Family Economic Situation

Family economic status and vulnerability to suicidal ideation among adolescents: A re-examination of recent findings

BackgroundAccording to the “differential vulnerability hypothesis,” individuals in adverse socioeconomic circumstances as less mentally resilient to stressful events. However, several recent papers radically challenged this hypothesis based on the accumulated literature on stress inoculation and presented cases in which lower-SES adolescents appear to be less vulnerable to suicidal ideation in the face of interpersonal aggression. ObjectiveWe re-examine the link between psychological vulnerability to acute stressors and SES using yearly longitudinal public survey data from South Korea. Participants and settingThis is a secondary data analysis of a multi-year public health panel dataset on South Korean adolescents. MethodsLogistic regression is used to examine the association between suicidal ideation and a range of predictor variables, with a particular focus on the interaction between bullying victimhood and log family income. These variables and the sample were chosen for consistency with recent revisionist research. ResultsWe reaffirm the well-established finding that bullying victimhood strongly and consistently increases the odds of suicidal ideation (OR = 1.859, p < 0.01). However, we find no evidence in favor of the traditional “differential vulnerability hypothesis” or the recently proposed counterhypothesis. A subsample analysis from the latest wave (W4–W5) did produce results that are consistent with recent revisionist findings, but we suggest this is likely a false positive. ConclusionsThere appears to be no systematic association between SES and vulnerability to suicidal ideation in the face of peer aggression among South Korean adolescents. The claim that lower-SES adolescents may be more resilient to stressful events stands on limited empirical support.

Faktor-Faktor Yang Berhubungan Dengan Kejadian Stunting Pada Balita Di Dusun Kelapa Dua Kecamatan Kairatu Kabupaten Seram Bagian Barat

Stunting is a condition of failure to thrive in children due to chronic malnutrition that results in a child's height not in accordance with their age. Stunting is not only caused by one factor but by multifactors. This study aims to determine the relationship between maternal education level, maternal knowledge, exclusive breastfeeding, complementary feeding and family economic status with the incidence of stunting in Kelapa Dua Hamlet, Kairatu District, West Seram Regency. The research design used was cross sectional. This study consisted of 100 samples with probability sampling technique. Data analysis was performed with the Chi-square test. The results showed that there was a relationship between the incidence of stunting and the level of maternal education (p-value = 0.000), maternal knowledge (p-value = 0.000), exclusive breastfeeding (p-value = 0.001) and complementary feeding (p-value = 0.000). However, family economic status (p-value = 0.511) has no relationship with the incidence of stunting in toddlers in Kelapa Dua Hamlet, Kairatu District, West Seram Regency.

The construction of a psychological support system for college students’ innovation and entrepreneurship incorporating a nonlinear stochastic model

Abstract In this paper, a non-linear stochastic model was constructed to introduce psychological capital as a random disturbance and predict students’ entrepreneurial intentions. Then, we conducted a differential analysis of students’ psychological capital on indicators of gender, family economic status and parents’ attitudes toward their children’s entrepreneurship, and also tested the mediating effects of innovation efficacy and perceived behavioral control to reveal the inner mechanism of the psychological capital of college students’ innovation and entrepreneurship. Finally, a psychological support system for college students’ entrepreneurship was constructed, including three dimensions a positive organizational system, positive emotional experience, and positive personality traits. The study showed that the direct effect of psychological capital on entrepreneurial intention was significant, β = 0.15, t = 3.19, p &lt; 0.01, and overall significant. Innovative efficacy significantly and positively predicted perceived behavioral control β=0.48, t=12.67, p&lt;0.001 and entrepreneurial intention β=0.09, t=2.15, p&lt;0.05. This study has important implications for improving the quality of entrepreneurial activities and optimizing the entrepreneurial environment of college students.

Adaptation and psychometric properties of the Greek version of Youth Efficacy/Empowerment Scale – Mental Health

Empowerment as a crucial element of health promotion has increasingly been prioritized among people who are capable of raising their voice and having a meaningful input in their care. The “Youth Efficacy/Empowerment Scale-Mental health” (YES-MH) is a measure designed to evaluate empowerment from the perspective of young service users living with mental health problems. The present study aimed to examine the psychometric properties of the YES-MH among youth clinical population in Greece and secondarily to analyze the relationship between empowerment and socio-demographic variables. Data were collected in mental health care settings of Athens from 150 participants aged 12 to 17 years. Exploratory factor analysis was conducted by the method of Principal Components to determine the structure. Validity was tested by comparing the YES-MH with two scales and reliability by using Cronbach alpha coefficient. Results indicated the predicted three-factor solution and acceptable internal consistency (0.76 to 0.86). Concerning the concurrent validity, YES-MH significantly correlated with mental well-being (r = 0.60) and the presence of difficulties (r = −0.34)”. Moreover, empowerment was associated to gender and family economic status at the self-level and significantly higher scores were observed to the younger. The current study added evidence for the validity and reliability of the Greek version. Its implications extend from research to practice including the evaluation of interventions and the improvement of services.

Work-Life Balance of Working Mothers in the Healthcare Industry in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia

This article investigated the work-life balance of working mothers in the healthcare industry in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. It aimed at identifying the factors contributing to family-work conflict (FWC) (the impact of the family on the work) and work-family conflict (WFC) (the impact of the work on the family) among working mothers and deciding which measures dictate a negative impact on work or home, WFC or FWC. It utilized Netemeyer et al.’s (1996) WFC and FWC Scale to examine which areas cause the most conflict for working mothers. A descriptive survey research design was applied, and 80 respondents were chosen for analysis. The results revealed that many factors contribute to WFC among working mothers. For example, the time the job requires makes it difficult to fulfill family responsibilities. Moreover, many factors contribute to FWC among working mothers, such as home life interfering with the responsibilities at work, such as arriving at work on time, accomplishing daily tasks, working overtime, and having to postpone tasks at work because of family or spouse/partner demand. Finally, the impact of work on the family is higher than that of family on work. In the light of the results, the researcher recommended holding training courses in effective time management, stress management, and burnout prevention to help working mothers in the private sector. Shareholders, decision-makers, and bodies interested in work-life balance can benefit from the results to develop programs and plans that help working mothers in the healthcare industry. Therefore, further studies are required to dig deeper and find if other measures have not been addressed in the research that may cause WFC and FWC. The researcher recommended investigating the benefits of work-life balance, how it affects the broader context, and how to improve it, investigating the impact of work–family conflict, stress, and family work conflict and job involvement, investigating the relationship between work-life balance and job satisfaction, and investigating the link between family economic status and work-family conflict.
