Significant Differences In Attitudes Research Articles

Interpretation Accuracy and Acceptance according to AAC Types and Message Error Types

Objectives: This study aims to find which AAC type(high-tech, low-tech) and error type (omission, substitution, and inversion) is more influential to communication partners’ accuracy, acceptance, as well as the attitude of the AAC users. Methods: The error message scripts were constructed based on everyday life expressions; and omisson, substitution, and inversion error videos produced by high-tech and low-tech AAC. The participants of the study were AAC users’ family groups and 30 AAC inexperienced groups. The study participants watched the video and answered online questionnaires regarding interpretation accuracy, acceptance, and attitude of the AAC users. A three-way mixed ANOVA was used to confirm the difference in accuracy and acceptance; and in the case of attitude, the difference was analyzed through a two-way mixed ANOVA. Results: There was no difference between groups in the accuracy and acceptance of message interpretation according to the AAC type and message error type, however the difference according to the error type was found to be significant. In terms of accuracy analysis, high scores were recorded in the order of inversion, substitution, and omission error; and in the case of acceptance, high scores were recorded in the order of inversion, omission, and substitution. There was no significant difference in attitudes toward AAC users between groups. Conclusion: The results of this study suggest that in order for communication through AAC to be successful, direct intervention for AAC users and indirect intervention for communication partners must be provided together. Training for communication partners should be provided, along with interventions to minimize omission and substitution errors by AAC users.

Factors impacting pediatric registered nurse attitudes toward caring for dying children and their families: A descriptive study

PurposeThe purpose of this study was to gain knowledge of the educational preparation and attitudes of registered nurses at a southeastern pediatric hospital toward caring for dying children and their families. Design and methodsA descriptive study with two independent samples was used to examine the attitudes of registered nurses at a pediatric hospital in southeastern United States. Participants completed the Frommelt Attitude Toward Care of the Dying Scale, Form B, a 30-item survey. Descriptive and inferential statistics were used to analyze data. ResultsOne hundred and thirty-two registered nurses participated in the study. Results indicated a statistically significant difference in attitudes toward caring for dying pediatric patient scores in registered nurses working in the hematology/oncology and intensive care units compared to the other units (p = 0.0017; 95% CI: 2.39–10.12). ConclusionsThis study described the educational preparation and attitudes of registered nurses who care for children who are dying and their families. Additionally, pediatric end-of-life care is complex and is further influenced by experiences and attitudes. Future research is needed to identify educational needs to care for pediatric patients and their families at the end of life. Practice implicationsFindings from this project indicated end-of-life care education should be integrated into undergraduate curricula. New nurse graduates who are entering the workforce should receive education on end-of-life care, especially if they are entering into a pediatric specific organization. Healthcare organizations should include end-of-life care education as part of the orientation process and annual competency process.

Cutting down or eating up: Examining meat consumption, reduction, and sustainable food beliefs, attitudes, and behaviors

In response to health, environmental, ethical, and cost concerns, growing numbers of individuals are reducing their meat consumption. However, while people are now subscribing to “flexitarian” or reduced-meat diets, these flexitarian and more “traditional” omnivore diets are usually not well defined. Using an online survey, this research examined the attitudinal and behavioral differences between meat eaters, meat reducers, and occasional meat eaters in terms of their meat consumption (consumption frequency of red and white meat, fish, and meat substitutes) and their reasons for and against meat reduction. We also investigated respondents’ attachment to eating red and chicken meat and their healthy and sustainable food beliefs, attitudes, and behaviors as well as attitudes towards future foods. Our findings suggest lamb and pork consumption was the only factor that differed significantly between meat eaters, meat reducers, and occasional meat eaters, while beef and chicken was consumed similarly by meat eaters and reducers, suggesting this may be more difficult to reduce. There were differences in motivations to eat meat between the dietary groups, but little difference between these groups regarding their reasons for meat reduction. We also found significant differences in attitudes toward future foods such as plant-based substitutes, fortified foods, and cultured meat with meat reducers compared to meat eaters finding these options more appealing. A comprehensive and specific understanding of meat consumption and reduction preferences, attitudes, and beliefs is important for providing segmented marketing and social marketing strategies aimed at encouraging more sustainable and healthy food behaviors.

Attitudes and stigma toward seeking psychological help among Saudi Adults

BackgroundIn the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia (KSA), public attitudes and stigma toward mental health illness seem to prevent people from seeking psychological help, which negatively impacts an individual's life. The primary objective of this study was to investigate people's attitudes toward seeking psychological help and identify the extent to which the associated stigma is responsible for preventing them from seeking psychological help.MethodsTwo hundred eighteen adults recruited from the community living in the Eastern Province of the KSA completed the questionnaires, customized to create the Arabic version of Attitudes Toward Seeking Professional Psychological Help Scale-Short Form (ATSPPH-SF-A), the Arabic version of Stigma Scale for Receiving Psychological Help (SSRPH-A), and the Arabic version of Hopkins Symptom Checklist-25 (HSCL-25-A).ResultsBoth stigma and psychological distress significantly affected attitudes toward seeking professional help. Furthermore, it indicated that attitudes were negatively correlated with stigma while positively correlated with psychological distress. No significant difference in attitudes toward psychological help-seeking was identified between male and female participants. However, males displayed higher levels of stigma, while females showed greater psychological distress. Furthermore, the groups who received psychological treatment demonstrated more favorable attitudes toward seeking psychological help.ConclusionStigma and psychological stress influence attitudes toward treatment-seeking behavior for mental illness, making them two major predictors responsible for the underutilization of mental health services. More research is needed to assess specific sociodemographic disparities across more data sources and the factors that further contribute to stigma and psychological distress.

User involvement in ageing and health research: a survey of researchers’ and older adults’ perspectives

BackgroundUser involvement in research has rapidly increased and is often a precondition to obtain research funding. Benefits such as effectiveness and increased relevance of research are described in the literature, but the evidence to support this is weak. Little is known about ageing and health researchers’ experiences and perspectives towards user involvement in research, and their attitudes towards user involvement compared to the attitudes of the users involved are largely unknown. To examine researchers’ experiences and perspectives of user involvement in research on ageing and health, and to compare their attitudes towards user involvement to the attitudes of older adults in the general population.MethodsA panel study survey was used to elicit responses from researchers in ageing and health as well as from older adults (aged 60 years and older). The researcher sample (N = 64) completed the survey online, while the older adult sample (N = 881) could choose among three different options to complete the survey (online, paper format, telephone). A professional survey company collected the data. Descriptive statistics, exploratory comparisons and descriptive qualitative content analysis were used to analyse the data.ResultsMore than half (58%) of the researchers had previous experience of involving different categories of users in a wide range of research activities. The most frequent motivation for involving users was to ensure that the research produced is relevant to the target population. A majority (86%) reported benefits, and more than half (59%) described challenges. Differences in attitudes were found between researchers and older adults in the general population.ConclusionsAgeing and health researchers involve users in their research to improve quality and ensure relevance, but there is no consensus among them whether users should be involved in publicly funded research. While several challenges were identified, training, institutional support and resources from funders could alleviate many of these. Findings reveal significant differences in attitudes between older adults in the general population and researchers. Further research with comparable larger samples is needed to confirm and understand the possible consequences such controversy might have and how to solve them.IRRID (International Registered Report Identifier): RR2-10.2196/17759.

Do educators value the promotion of students’ wellbeing? Quantifying educators’ attitudes toward wellbeing promotion

Educators’ attitudes toward Social and Emotional Learning (SEL) and health and wellbeing promotion can significantly influence the success (or otherwise) of such policies and practices. While numerous studies exist, from which a broad understanding of such attitudes can be garnered, there is currently no attendant measurement which quantifies educators attitudes regarding the promotion of student wellbeing. The aim of this study was to address this gap in knowledge by quantifying the degree to which educators are positively or negatively disposed to the promotion of student wellbeing. The Attitudes Toward Wellbeing Promotion (ATWP) scale was administered to a diverse participant sample (n = 324), which was opportunistically recruited from the population of post-primary educators in Ireland. Analyses using General Linear Modelling (GLM) identified several statistically significant differences in attitude. Main effects included position held in school and the presence/absence of practices such as streaming and vertical education, while Interactions included educator gender*age and educator gender*single-sex/co-educational school status. The results of this study suggest that, overall, educators appear to be positively disposed toward the promotion of student wellbeing. The highest levels of positivity were observed among female educators, particularly those working in all-girls schools. The lowest levels of positivity were observed among older male educators and educators working in schools that adopt streaming and vertical education practices. This study provides the first baseline data pertaining to the degree to which post-primary educators may be positively or negatively disposed to the promotion of students’ social and emotional wellbeing.

Gender-based violence attitudes and dating violence experiences of students in nursing and other health sciences: A multicentre cross-sectional study

BackgroundGender-based violence is a major public health problem. Healthcare providers' ability to identify this type of violence and support victims may be influenced by their knowledge, attitudes, and beliefs, which requires solid education. ObjectivesTo identify the gender-based violence attitudes and dating violence experiences of students in nursing and other health sciences. DesignA multicentre cross-sectional study was performed. SettingsThis study was conducted in three faculties of the University of A Coruña, Spain. ParticipantsParticipants were undergraduate students of nursing, podiatry, occupational therapy, and physiotherapy. MethodsThe Attitudes towards Gender and Violence Questionnaire and the Dating Violence Questionnaire were used from October 2019 to March 2020. Descriptive and inferential statistics were calculated to determine associated factors and identify differences in gender-based violence attitudes and dating violence experiences between sexes and degrees. ResultsData from 459 students were analysed, of whom 180 (39.2 %) studied nursing. The mean age was 20.9 (SD = 3.6) and 76.0 % were women. Statistically significant differences were obtained in attitudes towards gender-based violence according to sex where men displayed more sexist attitudes and violence justification. Results showed a significant difference in attitudes regarding the biological usefulness of sexism and violence between students of nursing and other health sciences. 61.9 % of students had experienced one or more abusive behaviours in relationships; no significant differences were detected according to the degree. However, male students experienced dating violence more often than females. It was observed that students who had suffered dating violence showed greater agreement with sexist attitudes that justify violence. ConclusionStudents of health sciences, particularly males and nursing students, show sexist attitudes that justify gender-based violence. They also frequently experience dating violence, especially psychological violence. It is necessary to intensify or include education on these types of violence in the curricula of degrees in health sciences.

Background: Human papillomavirus (HPV) vaccination for adolescents helps within the prevention of preventable cancers caused thanks to HPV infection. However, many adolescents don't seem to be vaccinated because of a scarcity of information among parents. Objective: This study aimed to check the extent of information and attitude of oldsters on HPV vaccination before and after the net educational intervention. Methods: A cross-sectional pilot study was conducted among a sample of 45 parents of adolescents studying at school 7th–9th. the oldsters were selected through two-stage simple sampling and assigned randomly to a few groups with three different methods of education – an internet lecture with a PowerPoint presentation, a web short film with discussion, and a self-learning online booklet. Pre- and post-intervention knowledge was assessed with a structured questionnaire and attitude with a modified Likert scale administered online. Wilcoxon and Kruskal–Wallis tests were accustomed find the statistical significance of the study. Results: Only 36% of samples stated that they need not heard about HPV vaccination, while others had heard from healthcare workers, members of the family, friends, or television, but their knowledge was inadequate. all told the three groups, there have been significant improvements within the level of data, but there was no significant difference in attitude. The post-test knowledge countless parents educated with the short film were significantly over the opposite two interventions. Conclusion: Online educational programs were found to be effective in improving the knowledge of fogeys on HPV vaccination and of the three methods; the short film was more practical than the opposite two methods

O11 Development and Pilot Implementation of an Online Trauma-Informed Care (TIC) Educational Module for Graduate-Level Nutrition Students

<h3>Objective</h3> To improve students' attitudes and empathy for creating therapeutic relationships by introducing a trauma-informed approach to nutrition care. <h3>Use of Theory or Research</h3> We adapted a published educational approach tested with pediatric residents. The teaching strategy included principles of Sociocultural Learning Theory. <h3>Target Audience</h3> Participants included 25 students pursuing a master's degree in nutrition. <h3>Curriculum Description</h3> We implemented the TIC educational module within an online nutrition counseling course strategically placed after two modules focused on patient-centered care, cultural humility, and health equity. Students took a pre-test, and we provided them with pre-class reading about TIC, the origins of the Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACE) study, and the National Institute of Minority Health and Health Disparities research framework. The live and synchronous online classroom time for the TIC module included a didactic presentation on the rationale for practicing universal TIC, the link between trauma and chronic disease, examples of TIC practices in nutrition care, and an interactive neonatal abstinence syndrome case-based scenario. In addition to a post-test, we required students to post a learning diary reflection within three days of the TIC module. <h3>Evaluation Methods</h3> We assessed attitudes with an 8 item pre and post-test (5-point Likert scale) in Qualtrics and through online learning diary entries within the Canvas learning management system. <h3>Results</h3> We conducted a paired-samples t-test to evaluate the impact of the TIC education module on students' attitudes with the pre to post-test. There were statistically significant (<i>P</i> < 0.05) changes in attitudes in 5 out of 8 questions with moderate (.37) to large (.95) effect sizes. In the learning diaries, all students reported that the TIC education module was impactful, and most students wrote about how the module challenged their biases and assumptions. <h3>Conclusions</h3> Participation in an online trauma-informed care education module led to significant differences in attitudes that may enhance students' abilities to create therapeutic relationships in future nutrition practice. <h3>Funding</h3> None.

Investigating social entrepreneurial intentions of Generation Z

In this paper, the social entrepreneurial intentions and the three main constructs of the Theory of planned behavior were investigated concerning gender and the (non)existence of parental role models among Generation Z. Role models and gender are used variables in the research of (social) entrepreneurial intentions, but they were not examined in the context of Generation Z. This paper seeks to fill that gap in the literature with additional research into possible differences in three main constructs of the Theory of planned behavior regarding parental role models and gender. The research was conducted on a sample of 306 respondents of Generation Z. The respondents were third-year undergraduate business major students. Independent samples t-tests were used to test the hypotheses. The obtained results show that Generation Z students have statistically significant differences in social entrepreneurial intentions and the three main constructs of the theory of planned behavior with regard to the parental role models. Generation Z students whose at least one parent is an entrepreneur have higher social entrepreneurial intentions than students whose parents are not entrepreneurs. Regarding gender, there are no statistically significant differences in social entrepreneurship intentions and perceived behavior control, while there are statistically significant differences in attitude towards social entrepreneurship and subjective norms: women have a higher attitude towards social entrepreneurship and subjective norms than men. In the end, limitations of the conducted research and recommendations for future research are given.

Perbandingan Tingkat Pengetahuan dan Sikap serta Praktik Pencegahan Skabies Pada Santri Pesantren di Banda Aceh dan Aceh Besar

Introduction: Inadequate knowledge, attitude, and personal hygiene behavior contribute to the prevalence of scabies among students living together at the dorm of Islamic Boarding School (IBS). Moreover, the differences in the schools located in urban and rural areas may also increase these vulnerabilities. This study aimed to compare the level of knowledge and attitudes with the practices of scabies prevention among students of Islamic Boarding School in Banda Aceh and Aceh Besar.Methods: This research used a comparative study design with a cross-sectional approach, involving 86 students in Banda Aceh and Aceh Besar selected by stratified random sampling method. Data was collected using a questionnaire measuring knowledge, attitude, and perceived practice of scabies prevention, which was developed from Bloom's theory, and previously tested its psychometric properties. Data were analyzed using Independent Sample T-Test and Mann Whitney-U Test.Results: Based on the results of the study, it was found that the students of Aceh Besar had a greater experience of scabies (27.9%) than the students of Banda Aceh (18.6%). In the practice of personal hygiene, it is known that more than 85% of students have the habit of exchanging towels which is a factor in the occurrence of scabies. The results indicated a significant difference in students' attitudes in preventing scabies (p-value 0.025). However, there were no significant differences in the level of knowledge (p-value 0.067), personal hygiene habits (p-value 0.055), and the frequency of personal hygiene activities of students (p-value 0.490 α=0.05) in preventing scabies.Conclusion: There is a significant difference in attitudes towards scabies prevention among students in Banda Aceh and Aceh Besar. It is necessary to perform alternate interventions for students in both locations to increase positive attitudes in preventing scabies.

This also clarifies that gender have no significant role in building of attitude among D.El.Ed. trainees.

Attitudes of health professionals towards suicidal behavior: an intervention study.

ABSTRACTOBJECTIVE To evaluate the effect of an educational intervention on the attitudes of primary healthcare providers regarding patients with suicidal behavior.METHODS Clinical trial randomized by clusters, with a sample of 261 healthcare professionals, from 22 health units selected by stratified sampling, were chosen and randomly allocated, by drawing, into two groups: intervention (n = 87) and control (n = 174). The participants of the intervention group were exposed to a 20-hour training on suicidal behavior. All 261 participants were evaluated before and after the intervention; the groups were compared to evaluate their attitude towards suicidal behavior using the Suicide Behavior Attitude Questionnaire (SBAQ), an evaluation made by comparison of the means via t-Student test, for independent samples, and paired t-test, for dependent samples.RESULTS The intervention group, in comparison to their evaluation before and after training, as well as in the comparison with the evaluation of the control group, showed statistically significant differences in attitudes towards suicidal behavior, according to the differences presented in the scores for the domains: “perception of professional capacity,” in all four items; “negative feeling,” in six of the seven items; and in the “right to commit suicide” domain, in three of the five items.CONCLUSION The brief training developed in primary health care was effective to improve the attitudes of the participants who were part of the intervention group regarding patients with suicidal behavior.

A Descriptive Study: Investigation of Plagiarism among Undergraduates in a Sino-US Cooperative University

Plagiarism is prevalent all over the world, especially in higher education. This quantitative-descriptive study investigated the reasons and gender differences for plagiarism among undergraduate students at Wenzhou-Kean University (WKU). To collect quantitative data, the random sample of 102 undergraduates at WKU answered questions about plagiarism in the online questionnaire. The results revealed that the development of technology and the Internet is the main reason for plagiarism. Surprisingly, the study found that students are confident with their citation skills. The participants reported that using additional materials to help with their online testing is easy during the COVID-19 pandemic. The COVID-19 pandemic has become another significant reason for plagiarism. In terms of gender differences, the results showed no significant difference in attitudes and behaviors toward plagiarism among WKU undergraduate students by gender. The study advises educational institutions like WKU should use both traditional solutions (e.g., failing the plagiarized assignment, giving suspension to student) and new solutions (e.g., using plagiarism tracking system) to deal with plagiarism.

Valuing Teaching Profession: Exploring Attitude of Pre-Service Teacher Educators

Education plays a significant role in changing the behaviour, perceptions, feelings, and beliefs of the individual. The ability of a teacher to teach is dependent on their attitude toward the profession. The teacher helps create a conducive and learner-friendly atmosphere in the classroom through his attitude. It has a positive impact on the learning ability of children. The quality of education through pre-service and in-service teacher Education Programmes (PIEP) uplifts the standard of education in the whole country. These programmes help to support and develop the necessary pedagogical skills and competencies among teacher educators. The objective of the present study is to measure the attitude of pre- Service teacher educators towards the teaching profession. The sample consists of 30 Teacher educators. The study uses an Attitude towards the teaching profession scale standardized by Tewari to collect data. Statistical measures are employed to find the difference in attitude towards the teaching profession among pre-service teacher educators. The results reveal that significant differences do not exist between the attitude towards the teaching profession and pre-service teachers’ locale. There is a significant difference in attitude towards the teaching profession among pre-service teacher educators concerning their gender.

Dental Students’ Perception, Attitude and Willingness to Interact with Mental Illness Patients: A Multicentre Cross-Sectional Study

Mental illness is a psychological impairment involving emotions, cognitions, and behaviors, and its prevalence is increasing worldwide. Dental students may encounter patients with underlying psychological problems during their training. Objective: To evaluate dental students’ perception, attitude, and willingness to interact with patients with mental illness. Methods: A multi-center cross-sectional study was conducted involving undergraduates at three dental institutions in Malaysia using an online self-administered questionnaire. Descriptive data analysis was conducted and statistical analysis using chi-square test was done for associations (p &lt; 0.05). Results: The response rate was 63% (225); the majority of respondents were female (77.8%) and of Malay ethnicity (88.4%). Our study found that positive attitudes are independent of respondents’ sociodemographic profiles. No significant differences in attitudes were portrayed by gender, race, or history of mental illness. Our findings suggest that respondents’ place of study, gender, and previous encounter with mental illness are associated with willingness to interact with patients (p &lt; 0.05). Conclusions: Dental students displayed positive attitudes and willingness to interact with patients with mental illness. However, to further improve students’ attitudes and enhance their readiness to interact with patients with mental illness, more mental health-related educational programs should be introduced in the dental curricula.

Impact of Assessment as Learning on Attitudes towards Mathematics of Senior High School Students in Ahanta West and Mpohor Districts

Students’ attitude towards learning of mathematics has been of interest to both mathematics educators and other stakeholders. This is because students’ achievement and attitude have been described to like the siemese twin; almost impossible to separate. The concerns have been on how to improve students’ attitude towards mathematics. The study examined the impact of assessment as learning on attitudes on mathematics among Senior High School students in Ahanta West and Mpohor Districts. Quasi-experimental pre-test/ post-test control group design was adopted for the study. Multi-stage sampling techniques were applied to generate a sample of 81 participants comprising 32 in the experimental group and 49 in the control group. A questionnaire was mainly used for the data collection. A questionnaire on attitudes was administered students to determine classes with no significant difference in attitudes towards Mathematics. Then a training package with assessment as learning and a similar package with the traditional assessment methods were administered to the Experimental group and control group respectively. Finally, post intervention questionnaire on attitudes were administered to both groups. The results revealed SHS students in the experimental group have positive attitudes towards mathematics than those in the control group. Also gender has no significant effect on attitude towards mathematics in the face of assessment as learning.
