Omega-3 Eicosapentaenoic Acid Is Related to Happiness and a Sense of Fulfillment-A Study among Female Nursing Workers.

Background: Omega (ω) 3 fatty acid (FA) is a polyunsaturated FA (PUFA) that can modulate some mental statuses. However, most studies have not considered the functional differences between eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA). We investigated associations among happiness, a sense of fulfillment and serum ω3 PUFA levels. Methods: Participants were 133 female staff from a hospital and nursing homes. Happiness was measured using the Japanese version of the subjective happiness scale (SHS); a sense of fulfillment was assessed using a visual analogue scale. Serum FA concentrations were measured. A partial correlation test and a regression model were applied. Results: The SHS scores showed significantly positive correlations with a sense of fulfillment, DHA% and EPA% (p < 0.05, < 0.05 and < 0.005, respectively), after controlling for age, BMI, menopause, snacking habits and leisure-time physical activities. A sense of fulfillment was significantly negatively correlated with α-linoleic acid%, and positively correlated with DHA% and EPA% (p < 0.05, < 0.05 and < 0.005, respectively), after controlling for the confounders. A regression model showed that a sense of fulfillment, EPA, and not stopping menstruation explained happiness (standardised beta, B = 0.18, p < 0.05; B = 0.24, p < 0.01; and B = 0.32, and p < 0.05, respectively), whereas age, BMI and snacking habits could not. Simultaneously, a regression model could not explain the association between DHA and happiness. Conclusion: Happiness was related with serum EPA%, a sense of fulfillment, and premenopause.

Learning Chinese as a second language in China: Positive emotions and enjoyment

Exploring language learners’ emotions and their role in facilitating language learning in different contexts has become the focus of much research in recent years. This present mixed-method study investigated the language learning enjoyment of Chinese as a Second Language (CSL) learners studying in Chinese universities. A corpus of 216 international students, mostly from Africa and Asia, participated in a questionnaire survey and 20 of them were invited to take part in follow-up interviews. Analysis of the survey data revealed a distinct three-factor structure underlying CSL learners’ language learning enjoyment: Personal Fulfillment, Interpersonal Relations and Social Bonds. Personal Fulfillment was found to exert a significant direct effect on CSL learners’ language learning enjoyment while the other two factors played an indirect role. This was well supported by the qualitative data from the follow-up interviews. The findings suggest that the structure of learners’ language learning enjoyment may vary in different contexts but for CSL learners in China, especially for these adult CSL learners, a sense of fulfillment is the most effective booster for their learning enjoyment. Implications of the findings provide a better understanding of teaching CSL learners in China.

Constructing cultural identity through weaving among Ri-Bhoi women weavers: a symbolic interactionist approach

With this interpretive study, we sought to understand how weaving as an activity contributed to constructing women handloom weavers’ cultural identity in the region of Ri-Bhoi, a district in Meghalaya, India, by exploring weavers’ experiences through changing tides of modernization in the handloom industry of the region. We adopted a lens of symbolic interaction to consider the ways in which interactions within the Ri-Bhoi cultural context contributed to meanings about the women’s weaving activities and their cultural identities. An ethnographic approach was implemented using participant observation, field notes/journaling, and informal and formal interviews to collect relevant data. Analyses revealed four themes representing the value that Ri-Bhoi women weavers attached to various aspects of their weaving tradition, which in turn, supported their cultural identities: (a) maintaining the tradition of weaving through acquisition and exchange of knowledge, (b) securing social support from family and community, (c) maintaining the tradition of weaving through creation of textiles that symbolize tribe and culture, and (d) achieving a sense of fulfillment (i.e., joy, happiness, and pride). Further exploration revealed that the modernization of the Ri-Bhoi handloom industry increased engagement of women in weaving and their passion to preserve their tradition, which further strengthened their connection to weaving. Implications and future research directions are discussed.

Bilingual gatekeepers' experiences of immigrant women's acculturative stress and mental health improvement in Korea: A qualitative analysis

Immigrant women married to Korean men usually experience pressure to adapt to Korean family culture, which leads to increased vulnerability to mental health problems. I trained mental health gatekeepers who spoke both Korean and the women's original language to work with such women from Thailand, Vietnam, China, Mongolia, Uzbekistan, and Japan. I explored the gatekeepers' experiences with their clients in focus group interviews, to identify comprehensive perspectives on the provision of services for community mental health practitioners. Data were analyzed using qualitative content analysis, and I identified 17 codes, 8 interpretive codes, and 4 themes (gatekeepers building relationships from heart to heart, soothing hardship by speaking in the same mother tongue, encouraging mental health literacy, and instilling a sense of fulfillment), all of which motivated the core theme of caring for acculturative stress with fulfillment and pride. As cultural affinity plays a key role, more bilingual gatekeepers should be trained and employed to improve community mental health literacy and the effectiveness of multicultural services.

Is the signature pedagogy still worthwhile? An empirical study of field practice experience among social work students in Nigeria

ABSTRACT The ability of social work education to graduate ethical, competent, innovative, effective social workers is highly reliant on the quality of the field experience. The focus of this study, therefore, is to share the reflections of Nigerian social work students about their field practice education and training. Semi-structured interview schedule based on one-on-one interviews was conducted among graduating social work students in one major university in southern Nigeria. Following the qualitative data analysis, findings illustrate that the students, while having a sense of fulfillment and pride in the profession as a result of the fieldwork education, encountered several challenges. Although involving a cohort of social work students, the findings of this study may have broader implications for social work education across the country. Consequently, suggestions are offered to social work educators, as conveyors of social work knowledge, skills, and values, to ensure that students undergo a memorable and hitch-free practicum education.

Bridging Social Issues and Local Community through Service Learning

This study endeavors to integrate service learning in major teaching professional courses. Results show that the integration of service learning for pre-service teachers requires a carefully planned and a well-structured system. This is to ensure that students truly benefit from the experience and that the entire process enhances the learning of the course. In this study, the major steps in the integration process include: identifying relevant social issues in the local community; organizing nonformal community education; and assessment of the activities conducted. Students report that integrating service learning in major professional courses is valuable for several reasons. First, it enhances application of knowledge learned in the classrooms to real world setting. Moreover, it increases awareness of the local issues in the community. And lastly, it provides a sense of fulfillment in one’s contribution to the society. Problems encountered while doing this project, however, include: problems among group members; problems on reaching out to the community; technical and financial problems; and weather and other environmental problems.

Exploring dimensions of satisfaction experienced by student volunteers

ABSTRACTThe significance of involving young volunteers in various projects, notably students of colleges and universities, cannot be underestimated: such global events as Olympics or Soccer World Cup would hardly take place without them. However, non-profit organizations find it challenging to retain such volunteers, as the majority of students take part in social campaigns only occasionally. This research employs a complex qualitative methodology to investigate a specific case of a student volunteer group in one of Canada’s universities with a relatively low turnover rate. It is suggested that the satisfaction obtained during fulfilling voluntary tasks defines the willingness and the likelihood of students to stay in a group. The analysis of collected data revealed four principal emotions associated with the satisfaction of young volunteers: sense of freedom, sense of belonging, hope of positive externalities, and sense of fulfillment. Several managerial and theoretical contributions conclude this paper.

Liminality as a dimension of the experience of living with terminal cancer.

This paper is concerned with the phenomenology of death awareness within the context of being diagnosed with terminal cancer. The objective of the research presented here is to provide a deeper insight into terminally ill cancer patients' engagement with their mortality. The analysis forms part of a wider project that involved conducting a metasynthesis of 23 phenomenological studies of the experience of living with the awareness of having terminal cancer published between 2011 and 2016.ResultThe metasynthesis identified four master themes that represent distinct experiential dimensions of living with terminal cancer. This paper focuses on one of these themes, liminality, to provide novel insights into the structure of death awareness whilst living with terminal cancer.Significance of resultsThe results suggest that liminality describes an experiential space from within which terminal cancer patients encounter a new relationship with their existence. Liminality offers opportunities for both connection (e.g., with the natural world) as well as disconnection (e.g., from loved ones and others who still have a future) and therefore contains the potential for suffering and distress as well as for joy and a sense of fulfillment. This understanding of liminality can help healthcare professionals provide psychological support for this client group.

Jakość związku partnerskiego a satysfakcja z życia młodych matek – mediacyjna rola samooceny

Abstract. The birth of a child is a significant personal experience for a woman, but it is also an event of great social importance (Koronkiewicz, 2014). The arrival of an offspring changes forever the identity of a woman and her role both in her family and in the society. Motherhood can provide women with a sense of fulfillment and self-realization, but also give rise to conflict of roles, feeling overloaded with duties, discomfort, or health problems. Support from a close relationship partner is an important factor in self-esteem. It can be a source of happiness and satisfaction for a young mother. The results of numerous studies indicate that having children and a successful marriage are at the top of the hierarchy of values ​​affecting one’s happiness (Czapinski, Panek 2011; Miotk-Mrozowska, 2013). The study involved 336 mothers in the stage of early adulthood (average age M = 30.9, SD = 4.22). The quality of women’s partner relationship and their self-esteem were considered to be important factors for their life satisfaction measured with the SWLS Scale adapted by Juczynski. The independent variables were measured with the Quality of Relationship Inventory adapted by Suwalska-Barancewicz, Izdebski and Liberska, and the SES Scale adapted by Łaguna, Dzwonkowska and Lachowicz-Tabaczek. The analyzes carried out as part of the study confirmed the importance of the quality of the partner relationship and the level of self-esteem for the life satisfaction of young mothers.

Collegiality and career success

Success in one’s career and life are subjectively determined. However, the presence or absence of regrets are good indicia of one’s sense of fulfillment. In the context of professional education, “learning environment” is a key predictor of one’s future sense of fulfillment. Collegiality, mutual support, and decency towards one’s classmates were considered by the author in this small-scale study to be important predictors of one’s later success in life and medical practice.

Students’ Care-Related Attitudes During Geriatric Nursing Training

The study examined students’ care-related attitudes during geriatric nursing training over 6 years based on <xref>Roach’s (1996)</xref> caring components. A total of 337 students joined the study. Autonomy, one caring component, was shown to be key to the development of appropriate care-related attitudes, suggesting the necessity of educational approaches to nurture autonomy. Students’ sense of fulfillment and appropriate care-related attitudes during nursing training were promoted by acquiring successful experiences. Educational approaches helped students to define their caring experiences appropriately, clearly show the outcomes of care performed by the students, and help them realize the effects of such care.

Characteristics of medical students who would like to be a generalist physician and contribute to remote area medicine.

We administered a questionnaire to 5th grade medical students to examine the effect of community-based clinical practice on their attitudes to remote area medicine and their course after the graduation. Data from 192 students were obtained. The intensity of students' attitudes was estimated by using visual analogue scale. The intensities of the interest and a sense of fulfillment in remote area medicine were significantly increased after the practice. A significantly lower level of the intensity to become a generalist than that to become a specialist was seen in the students with low intensity in a sense of fulfillment. The percentages of the students who answered that they can work for 5 years or more in remote area were significantly lower in students with low intensity of a sense of fulfillment than in those with high intensity. A significantly higher percentage in students who worked at a familiar prefecture to them after the graduation was seen in female than in male. This study shows that the community-based practice is meaningful in increasing motivation which desire to work in remote area medicine, and that the motivation may affect their course after the graduation.

Defining embryo donation: an Ethics Committee opinion

Building families through the adoption of children has been supported by human society throughout history. The ethical appropriateness of patients donating embryos to other patients for family building, or for research, is well established and is affirmed by this Committee. The use of the term ''adoption'' for embryos is inaccurate and should be avoided. This document replaces the ASRM Ethics Committee statement by the same name, last published in 2013 (Fertil Steril 2013;99:1846-7).
