Binge drinking and cigarette smoking among teens: Does body image play a role?

Adolescence is a critical juncture for the development of one's physical, mental, and social self, which includes body image. Previous research has linked poor body image and substance use in adolescents, but existing research on sex differences in these relationships is conflicting. The current study will examine the relationship between body image and substance use in adolescent males and females using data from the Oregon Youth Substance Use Project (OYSUP), focusing on alcohol and tobacco use. The logistic regression results indicated that females who reported lower satisfaction with body image engaged in more binge drinking and smoking, while the relationship was not significant for males. Implications for practice and future research are discussed.

052 Healing as a Path to Self-Transormation: Engaging Eros Through Yogic Principles to Heal the Trauma of the Dys-embodied Sexual Self in Women with Cancer

Based upon the holistic definition of healing taken from wisdom traditions, in which it is a process of self-transformation and discovery, this study seeks to engage spiritual conceptualizations of the erotic and its engagement within yogic contemplative practices to heal the dys-embodiment of the sexual subjective self that arises in women due to the physical and emotional trauma along the cancer trajectory. This is a literature review of both quantitative and narrative-based studies of the effects of gynecological and breast cancer treatment on the embodied sexual subjective self and the applications of yogic practices as an approach to integrating eros into the healing process to heal from the emotional and physical wounds to the embodied sexual self. The yogic practices of surrender, breathwork (pranayama), meditation (dhyana or cultivation of present awareness), and postures (asanas) aid in the healing of the emotional trauma of treatment, promoting an improvement in the perception of the physical and sexual self.

EXERCISE AS AN EDUCATIONAL TOOL: A PILOT PROJECT

Abstract BACKGROUND Exercise has been shown to have long term effects in improving social skills, scholastic performance and quality of life in all children. Unfortunately, physical education courses continue to have their dedicated curricular times reduced. Students may have as little as one period of curricular physical activity per week. Conversely, there is middle school in Windsor, Ontario that has implemented a daily curricular period dedicated to physical activity. This study aimed to assess the effects of this schools’ exercise programme on their students’ social skills, scholastic performance and quality of life. OBJECTIVES Our objective is to study the effects of a daily physical activity period as part of an educational curriculum on student physical fitness, academic performance and self reported quality of life. DESIGN/METHODS We undertook a naturalistic observational study that examined the results of a daily exercise program for Grade 7 students attending École Secondaire E.J. Lajeunesse in Windsor. At this school, all students in Grade 7 and Grade 8 participate in a daily one-and-a-half-hour exercise programme consisting of two different streams: hockey or dance. All Grade 7 students and their families attending the school were asked to participate in our research trial. To study the effects of the exercise programme, student physical fitness, academic performance, and self-rated quality of life were assessed. Specific outcome measures used include: 20 metre sprint test, beep test, squat strength, bench press strength, the Pediatric Quality of Life Inventory, academic grades in mathematics, English and French, and academic learning skills. RESULTS Due to difficulties in participant recruitment and retention, only the following results could be analyzed. After one year of the structured hockey exercise program, the participants demonstrated significant increases in sprint speed (p < 0.0001), beep test (p < 0.005), squat strength (p < 0.0001) and bench press strength (p < 0.0001). There was also an increase in scores assessing organization, independence, collaboration, initiative and self regulation. An increase was noted in the participant’s grades in English and French. Little change was seen in mathematics and science grades. CONCLUSION After one year of consistent exercise, study participants demonstrated significant improvements in physical fitness, learning skills and language studies performance. Our results outline multiple benefits of implementing an organized daily physical period as part of the educational curriculum. A follow up to this preliminary study is currently underway to evaluate the effectiveness of school exercise programs on ADHD symptoms.

PENGARUH PENDEKATAN IMPLEMENTATION INTENTION DALAM MANAJEMEN PERAWATAN DIRI PADA PASIEN DIABETES MELLITUS TIPE 2

Education about self-care DM type 2 has been given, but the failure rate in achieving glycemic control is still high. This leads to the risk of Diabetes Mellitus complications referring to the high cost of care. Action of self-care management of patients with type 2 diabetes is based on the intention. However, intention can not always be an action because of the barrier of self-control (self regulatory problem). Implementation intention becomes an effort in improving the realization of intention into action. This study aims to analyze the influence of implementation intention approach in the self-care management of type 2 Diabetes Mellitus patients. This study uses the quasy experiment method (pre-post test with control design) with comparing the effect of implementation intention in 2 group. The study was conducted in Internal Medicine Outpatient Ward in University of Airlangga Hospital with a total sample of 38 people with hypothesis test formula data proportion of two populations 1 tailed. Variable include action of nutrition management, modification of physical activity, medication adherence and self monitoring blood glucose measures using a questionnaire instrument. Data were analyzed through independent t-test. The result of the research shows that p value < tolerance level with α = 0,05 means that Ho is rejected, so there is an influence between implementation intention approach with nutrition management, modification of physical activity, and medication compliance. Whereas if obtained p value > tolerance level means Ho accepted, so there is no effect of implementation implementation approach with self monitoring of blood glucose. Conclusions: the impelementation intention approach improves the application of self-care management in nutrition management, modification of activity and medication adherence but can not improve action in independent self monitoring blood glucose (SMBG). Reccomendation: Further research can develop SMBG variables by providing standardized assessment based on patient needs and situations; allowing more than 4 weeks, grouping respondents homogeneously based on individual characteristics.

Corporeal Posttraumatic Growth As a Result of Breast Cancer: An Interpretative Phenomenological Analysis

Women’s traumatic experience of breast cancer (BC) can result in posttraumatic growth (PTG). Women’s embodied experiences of BC seem particularly pertinent to their experiences of both difficulty and growth. While PTG is usually conceptualized as having five domains, it seems that BC survivors experience a sixth domain—corporeal PTG (CPTG). CPTG was recently defined as a “reclaiming” and renewed connection to the body through increased appreciation of the physical self, a new sense of bodily responsibility, positive health changes, and a new sense of positive identification with the body. This study’s aim was to explore how women experience CPTG due to BC. In-depth interviews were conducted with female BC survivors. Interpretative phenomenological analysis extracted three themes: losing, regaining, and relinquishing ultimate control over the body, reconstructing embodied identity, and a newfound appreciation for the body. Participants spoke of a complicated journey from distress, loss, and fragmentation to a reshaping of their assumptions about their bodies. The findings suggest that the body plays a vital role in women’s traumatic and growth-related experiences of BC. Future research on the embodied experience of BC is recommended as it forms a crucial part of BC recovery.

The Predictive Effects of Protection Motivation Theory on Intention and Behaviour of Physical Activity in Patients with Type 2 Diabetes.

INTRODUCTION:Theory-based education tailored to target behaviour and group can be effective in promoting physical activity.AIM:The purpose of this study was to examine the predictive power of Protection Motivation Theory on intent and behaviour of Physical Activity in Patients with Type 2 Diabetes.METHODS:This descriptive study was conducted on 250 patients in Rafsanjan, Iran. To examine the scores of protection motivation theory structures, a researcher-made questionnaire was used. Its validity and reliability were confirmed. The level of physical activity was also measured by the International Short - form Physical Activity Inventory. Its validity and reliability were also approved. Data were analysed by statistical tests including correlation coefficient, chi-square, logistic regression and linear regression.RESULTS:The results revealed that there was a significant correlation between all the protection motivation theory constructs and the intention to do physical activity. The results showed that the Theory structures were able to predict 60% of the variance of physical activity intention. The results of logistic regression demonstrated that increase in the score of physical activity intent and self - efficacy increased the chance of higher level of physical activity by 3.4 and 1.5 times, respectively OR = (3.39, 1.54).CONCLUSION:Considering the ability of protection motivation theory structures to explain the physical activity behaviour, interventional designs are suggested based on the structures of this theory, especially to improve self -efficacy as the most powerful factor in predicting physical activity intention and behaviour.

PERAN KONSEP DIRI DAN DUKUNGAN SOSIAL PADA KECEMASAN BERBICARA DI MUKA UMUM

The objective of this research was to study the role of self concept and social support on public speaking anxiety of dakwah faculty students. Fifty one students of dakwah faculty of Sunan Gunung Djati Islamic Religion National Institute Bandung participated in this study. All of subjects studied at grade VII at the Islamic Counseling Program and Islamic Community Development Program. They were given three kinds of scales: public speaking anxiety scale, self concept scale, and social support scale. The results of regression analysis showed that self concept played a role on public speaking anxiety (rPartial = -0,435; t = -3,343; p = 0,002) and the contribution was about 19,803 percent. Social support had no significant role on public speaking anxiety (rPartial = 0,117; t = 0,814; p = 0,575), and the contribution was about 2,013 percent only. Self concept had several aspects that were physical self, moral-ethic self, personal self, family self, and social self. One of those aspect, that was personal self, play a role on public speaking anxiety significantly (rPartial = -0,369; t = -2,667; p = 0,010). Another result showed that no aspect of social support has role on public speaking anxiety significantly.

Knowledge Theory in Ibn Rushd Literature and reflection thereof on its Educational philosophy

This study aims to examine Ibn Rushd perceptions in terms of Knowledge and reflection thereof on his educational philosophy. This study reached at a conclusion that Ibn Rushd partaking had its important role in framing the Knowledge theory and maintain it away from deviations and in the same time originated much jurisprudences starting from Aristotle theory who considered that self perish with the body's yard, while Ibn Rushd considered it as non physical self and image of body in the same time. On the other hand, Ibn Rushd disagreed with Knowledge theory adopted in Mysticism; who believes that human cannot reach Knowledge depending on mental means alone, but in turn Knowledge is gift from Allah achieved through strife, psychological readiness and purifying the heart. Ibn Rushd Knowledge theory is based on knowledge tools (feeling, mind and heart) integration. Serial order thereof based on promotion from feeling to the mind. Any personal cognizance is moral cognizance in Physical such as feeling or fantasy, while total cognizance is meaning cognizance physical. Based on Ibn Rushd Theory on Knowledge this study examined his educational philosophy which proved that it is in line with education's modern vision and acquiring knowledge; i.e. Thomas Aquinas, Jean Beige, Bruner and other pioneers of Epistemology theory in Education.

Evaluation of the Effect of Physical Activity Programs on Self-Esteem and Body Mass Index of Overweight Adolescent Girls, based on Health Belief Model with School-Centered Approach

Background: Obesity in adolescents leads to physical and mental complications. Exercise is one of the main components of weight control programs. This study aimed to evaluate the effect of physical activity programs on self-esteem and Body Mass Index of overweight adolescent girls. Materials and Methods: This study was a semi experimental study.The subjects were 140 second grade student girls from two high schools in 5th district of Isfahan. Data collection scales included: tape measure, carriage scale, questionnaire to collect background and personal information, designed questionnaire based on Health Belief Model, weekly physical self- reportedand adolescent weekly food record form, parent’s nutritional performance questionnaire, teachers’ attitude on adolescents’ nutrition questionnaire and Cooper Smith's Standard Self-esteem questionnaire. Education based program on Health Belief Model for improving nutritional status consistent with model structures during six sessions each 60-minute was conducted with emphasis on diet to control weight in overweight and at-risk adolescents. Questionnaires were compared immediately afterand two months after intervention. Results: Average score of model structures and self-esteem of students in both groups had no significant difference at baseline, but immediately after and 2 months after the intervention, the mean component scores were significantly higher in intervention group in comparison with the control group. There was a significant difference in component scores at different times in the experimental group. Significant difference in BMI scores was seen at different times in experimental group. Conclusion: Findings of this study showed that school based approach of physical activity training leads to increase in knowledge, sensitivity, severity and perceived benefits and eventually increase in self- esteem and physical activity in students.

Cross-cultural validation of the short form of the Physical Self Inventory (PSI-S).

The study examined the cross-cultural validity of the short form of the Physical Self-Inventory (PSI-S) among samples of adolescents speaking French, Dutch, Turkish, Italian, and Arab. A total of 4867 adolescents (1173 Belgian Flemish, 598 French, 1222 Italian, 643 Turkish, 646 Kuwaiti, and 585 Tunisian) completed the original PSI-S version, and a revised version including a positively-worded reformulation of the three negatively-worded PSI-S items. The results supported the factor validity and reliability of revised PSI-S version across all cultural groups, and its superiority when compared to the original version. Compared to confirmatory factor analyses (CFA), relying on an exploratory structural equation modeling (ESEM) measurement model further resulted in superior solution, and more cleanly differentiated factors. PSI-S responses proved to be fully invariant across cultural groups, and presented no evidence of differential item functioning (DIF) as a function of age, gender, body mass index (BMI), and sport involvement. However, the results revealed meaningful mean level differences as a function of gender, age, sport involvement, and BMI that were mostly consistent with the results from previous studies.

A Study on Negative Physical Self Status-quo of Rural Middle School Students and Intervention

This paper explored the negative physical self-status-quo of middle school students in the background of the school, aiming to find out the intervention program for different negative physical self. Method: It randomly selected students of 6 classes in a middle school in Xianning, Hubei Province, and NPSS scale was employed to measure the negative physical self-status of middle school students. Result: In these five dimensions, middle school students are most dissatisfied with the general feature (⎯x =3.266), followed by the feature of short in stature (⎯x =2.372). They show satisfaction at the appearance dimension (⎯x =1.965), fat dimension (⎯x =1.981) and thinness dimension. There is a significant difference in the general feature between male students and female students, and the score of females is higher than that of male (male=15.64, female=17.03, t=-3.074, p=0.002). The difference between male and female students at the fat dimension has statistical significance (Male=20.78, Female=23.08, t=-2.36, p=0.19). The difference between rural and urban students at the thinness dimension has statistical significance (urban students=16.06, rural students=17.84, t=2.43, p=0.15).

Emotional adjustment and anxiety levels: A comparative study on adolescent boys and girls of district Shimla in Himachal Pradesh

Adolescents, the emotionally charged pupils are often caught in the ambiguous overlap between the categorically defined roles of childhood and adulthood. Physical, mental, social and emotional upheavals are apparent and more pronounced during adolescence. The rapid growth and their efforts to make adjustments with their physical self, family and peer group is characterized by emotional turmoil and anxiety. The change in lifestyle, peer pressure, emotional disturbances, media influence and attempt to follow the ongoing trends create an imbalance, giving rise to stress and strain. The present research work is an effort to study the relationship between the levels of anxiety and emotional adjustment in adolescent boys and girls studying in different colleges located in district Shimla in Himachal Pradesh. The tools used were AICS inventory in Hindi and STAI to find out the connection between the anxiety and emotional adjustment in these young adults.

Effects of Physical Activity Using Tools on Basal Physical Fitness and Physical Self Concept of Young Children

Children’s and Fathers’ Perceptions of Children’s Competence and Occupational Interests

The study attempts to understand how self evaluation in the child changes across differing periods of childhood and the interrelation between children’s perceived competence and the perception of the father in the four selected domains of competence. The study tested children’s perceptions of self competence, the father’s perception of the child’s competence and vocational aspirations. Ninety children from three occupational groups (thirty in each) rated themselves in four domains of competence- cognitive, social, physical and general self worth. The father of each child was also required to rate his child in the four domains of competence. Children’s ratings of self competence increased with age in the cognitive, social and general self worth domains of competence indicating better perceptions of self efficacy with development. Children in the business sector had higher ratings of self competence as compared to children in the service or skilled occupations. Father’s perception of their children did not differ with age or occupation in all domains of competence, except for self worth ratings of the child, which increased with age. The results indicated that with increasing age children’s perceptions of themselves become more veridical with the views of their father as indicated by the more number of significant correlations amongst children at the beginning of late childhood.

Investigation Into the Relationship Between Adolescents’ Perceived and Actual Fundamental Movement Skills and Physical Activity

Objectives: To explore the relationship between fundamental movement skill (FMS) competence, perceived FMS competence, and physical activity (PA) in adolescents. Methods: The Test of Gross Motor Development (TGMD), the TGMD 2nd Edition (TGMD-2), and the Victorian Skills manual were used to assess FMS competence (locomotor, object control, and stability). The Physical Self Confidence scale was used to assess perceived FMS competence (locomotor, object control, and stability). Moderate-to-vigorous intensity PA (MVPA) was measured via accelerometry. Multi-level modelling analyses was used to examine (i) actual FMS as the predictor and perceived FMS as the outcome, (ii) perceived FMS as the predictor and MVPA as the outcome, and (iii) actual FMS as the predictor and MVPA as the outcome. All analyses were completed for each subtest of FMS (locomotor, object control, and stability). Results: A total of 584 adolescents (boys n = 278) aged 12.82–15.25 years (M = 13.78, SD = .42) participated in this study. Actual stability was associated with perceived stability (p < .01) and MVPA (p < .05) in boys. This was not found true for girls; however, actual locomotor skills were associated with MVPA (p ≤ .05). Boys scored significantly higher than girls for FMS proficiency, perceived FMS, and MVPA (p < .05). Discussion: Gender differences may exist due to cultural gender differences in sport participation norms. Considering the magnitude of physical and psychological changes occurring during adolescence, it is recommended to track young people over time to better understand the relationship between perceived and actual FMS, as well as PA participation.

Courtesy stigma and self-concept in partners of individuals with a physical disability

The article analyzes the relationship between (perceived and affiliate) courtesy stigma and self-concept among spouses of individuals with physical disabilities. The sample consisted of 85 spouses of individuals with physical disabilities. The data was collected using the Courtesy Stigma Questionnaire by Stanisława Byra and Monika Parchomiuk and the Tennessee Self-Concept Scale by William H. Fitts. The respondents reported significantly higher results for perceived stigma compared to affiliate stigma. Courtesy stigma manifestations are similar in the cognitive, affective and behavioral aspects. The study found significant relationships between the dimensions of courtesy stigma and self-concept aspects. The highest contribution in accounting for the specific aspects of self-concept (e.g. moral self, personal self, social self) is presented by the affective component of courtesy stigma. Statistically significant, although minor, contribution is also presented by the behavioral component, especially for the physical self, self-criticism and identity scales. The cognitive component of courtesy stigma was found not to account for the self-concept of the spouses in any way.
