Socio-demographic Characteristics Of Subjects Research Articles

Bezbednost mladih zaposlenih na radnom mestu u industriji igara na sreću

Modern society shifts its focus to the security of the individual, as the basic unit of society, in all spheres of his life. The aim of this study is to present the results of research on the subjective feeling of safety of employees in the gaming industry in Serbia. The results showed that almost half of them feel insecure in their workplace. Analysis of the results of research tells us that the socio-demographic characteristics of subjects, such as sex, age structure, but also the Serbian region in which they live, and also if they belong to the student population, have an impact on their perception of the level of safety in the workplace. Other socio-demographic characteristics of an individual which have been studied have shown no statistical significance. Stress in respondents who feel very insecure in the workplace increases most when there is a physical conflict with someone or a major material loss. A linear correlation between indicators of stress and feelings of safety in the workplace was confirmed. The obtained results can be used to improve the safety situation at workplaces where money and people are handled, but also to take preventive measures in order to reduce the level of risk.

24. An analysis of the National Institutes of Health All of Us Research Database: Sociodemographic Disparities Among Patients Who Received Vaccinations

BackgroundThe National Institutes of Health All of Us (AoU) research program is building a diversified database of 1 million+ adult subjects. With this database, we seek to describe the sociodemographic characteristics of those with documented vaccinations.MethodsThe AoU recruited subjects ≥ 18 years beginning in 2018. Eligible subjects were subsequently divided into five vaccine cohorts based on their vaccine history [influenza, hepatitis B (HepB), pneumococcal (Pneu) < 65, Pneu ≥ 65, human papillomavirus (HPV)]. The vaccine cohorts were compared to the general AoU cohort. Subjects in the influenza cohort had documented influenza vaccinations from 09/2017-05/2018. Other vaccine cohorts comprised subjects with ≥ 1 lifetime record(s) of vaccination by 12/2018. The Pneu < 65 and ≥ 65 cohorts comprised those who received pneumococcal vaccination before or after (inclusive) 65 years old, respectively. Descriptive statistics for all cohorts were generated using survey and electronic health record (EHR) data.ResultsWe analyzed 315297 subjects in the AoU dataset R2020Q4R2. The cohort sizes were: influenza (n=15346), HepB (n=6323), HPV (n=2125), and Pneu (< 65 n=15217; ≥65 n=15100). For all vaccine cohorts, comparing the 95% confidence intervals (CIs), the proportions of whites and non-Hispanics/Latinos were statistically higher than the general AoU cohort, the largest being from the Pneu ≥ 65 cohort (Table 1). For educational attainment, the Pneu < 65 (36.5%) had the smallest proportion of college or advanced degree graduates while the largest was observed in the Pneu ≥ 65 cohort (59.0%). The proportions of subjects with < &10k in annual household income (AHI) were largest among Pneu < 65 (17.1%) and smallest among Pneu ≥ 65 (3.8%). In contrast, the largest proportion of subjects with ≥ &100k AHI was among Pneu ≥ 65 (25.3%) and the smallest among Pneu < 65 (15.8%).Table 1. Sociodemographic characteristics of subjects in the All of Us research program based on vaccine receipt ConclusionRacial and ethnic disparities in vaccinations were apparent. Pneumococcal vaccination at age 65 years and above was more prevalent among white, non-Hispanic/Latino subjects who were also more educated and affluent. Conversely, those receiving pneumococcal vaccination before age 65 years were less educated and had lower AHI. Disclosures All Authors: No reported disclosures

프로야구구단의 추억마케팅이 팀 자긍심, 연고지 애착도, 팬 확충에 미치는 영향

This study aims for investigating how retro-marketing is associated with team pride, hometown loyalty and fan expansion. Sport audience who visited home grounds of professional baseball player teams were selected as participants. 600 questionnaires were distributed and 518 of them were adopted for actual analysis. SPSS 22.0 and AMOS 18.0 programs were used for data analysis. Moreover, frequency analysis, exploratory factor analysis, reliability analysis as well as correlation analysis were conducted in order to explore socio-demographic characteristics of subjects. Confirmatory factor analysis and path analysis were used in order to describe a causal relationship between confirmatory factor analysis and individual variable and to analyze hypothetical path models. First, outcomes from path analysis has found a remarkably positive influence as remembering among retro-marketing of the entire professional baseball teams gives impacts on team pride and hometown loyalty. Second, outcomes from path analysis has found a remarkably positive influence as event among retro-marketing of the entire professional baseball teams influences on team pride and hometown loyalty. Third, outcomes from path analysis has found a remarkably positive influence as environment among retro-marketing of the entire professional baseball teams influences on team pride and hometown loyalty. Fourth, outcomes from path analysis has found a remarkably positive influence as sense experience among retro-marketing of the entire professional baseball teams gives impacts on team pride and hometown loyalty. Fifth, results from path analysis in terms of the impact of retro-marketing of the entire professional baseball teams on fan expansion turned out uninfluential. Sixth, results from path analysis had reportedly tremendous impacts on audience effects among fan expansion in terms of the influence of team pride of the baseball teams over fan expansion. Meanwhile, the results had no remarkable impacts on both audience effects and behavioral intention. Seventh, results from path analysis found that the influence of hometown loyalty of the baseball teams over fan expansion had little impacts.

Assessment of adherence to psychotropic medications in a psychiatric unit of district hospital

Background: In mental health care, uncertainty about compliance is a challenging source of variation in the effectiveness of treatment. Aims and Objectives: The main aim of this study to assess the level of patients’ adherence to psychotropic drugs and also to explore factors associated with non-adherence to medication. Materials and Methods: A cross-sectional, questionnaire-based study was conducted in 156 patients over a period of 3-month at the Psychiatric Department, Tertiary Care Hospital, Mysore. A questionnaire designed for the adherence of treatment was administered to the psychiatric patients, those who were on treatment for ≥3 months. Results: Adherence varied from low adherence (24.4%) through medium (34%) to high adherence (41.7%) among participants. No statistically significant associations were observed between nonadherence and the socio-demographic characteristics of subjects. Recovery from their illness (21.9%), forgetfulness (19.8%), frequency of drug regimen (17.6%), and adverse effects (16.5%) are major reasons for poor adherence. Conclusion: More than half of the psychiatric outpatients were non-adherent to prescribed medications. Strategies to improve adherence are crucial in psychiatric care.

Similitudes et différences entre le jeu pathologique et la dépendance aux substances : qu’en est-il ?

Similarities and differences between pathological gambling and substance dependence: a clarification. A critical analysis of a French review of the international literature on gambling. The integration of pathological gambling in the spectrum of addictive disorders modeled by substance dependence is currently discussed. To perform a systematic review of the similarities and differences between pathological gambling and substance dependence, and to classify and analyze them, based on the data collected by a previously published French systematic analysis of the international literature on pathological gambling. We established a checklist of each comparison of pathological gambling with substance dependence within the report. Then, every entry was classified as similarity or difference, analyzed and discussed. Similarities retrieved were epidemiological characteristics (gender, age, socio-demographic characteristics of subjects), diagnostic criteria from DSM-IV (five criteria in common), frequent co-occurrence of pathological gambling and substance dependence, neurobiological and genetic characteristics, cases of spontaneous recovery, and similarities of therapeutic care. Differences retrieved were a more elevated prevalence of mood disorders and suicide among pathological gamblers, intrinsic risk factors related to gambling activity (delay between bid and result, gambling device, big win), cognitive distortion of pathological gamblers (notably chasing), specificities of cognitive behavioral therapies focused on these cognitive distortions, and specificities of social care of pathological gamblers. Pathological gambling shared many similarities with substance dependence, but also some differences. However, our critical analysis of these elements, reported to be specific to pathological gambling, showed significant commonalities with substance dependence. Also, the existence of key symptoms of substance dependence such as craving and loss of control in pathological gambling was not discussed in the review, although other data suggest a common ground. These could be key elements to group together pathological gambling and substance dependence within the addictive disorders.

Sun exposure profile in the French population: Results of the EDIFICE melanoma survey.

1566 Background: The main environmental risk factor for melanoma is related to UV-exposure. Our objective was to evaluate in a survey the profile of sun exposition in the French population as well as the level of knowledge about UV risk and UV protection. Methods: “Edifice Melanoma” a nationwide observational survey was conducted in France via phone interviews among a representative sample of 1502 subjects aged ≥ 18, using the quota method. The survey took place shortly after the summer (September 28th to October 20th, 2011). Results: From the total population of 1502 subjects, 330 (22%) denied any sun exposition. Among those declaring being exposed to the sun (1172), 62% affirmed using a photoprotection method (clothes, sun protective cream). The opportunities for sun exposure arose during holidays (85%), sport (79%) or professional activities (23%), with an annual average exposure of 113 days. 902 subjects (77%) declared avoiding sun exposure between 12 and 4 PM. The main sociodemographic characteristics of subjects exposed to the sun, compared to non-exposed ones are as followed (p&lt;0,05): men, aged &lt;40, with no children or with children aged &lt;15, from high social and occupational group, with at least a 2-years university degree. The analysis of sociodemographic characteristics of subjects declaring to use sun protective measures are (p&lt;0,05): women from high social and occupational group, with at least a 2-years university degree, with high income levels. We explored additional risk behavior in the population studied. Subjects who declared having sun exposure were more likely (p&lt;0,05) to be : smokers, alcohol users and/or alcoholic, tanning bed users before the age of 30, and have a high number of nevi (&gt;50). On the other hand, prior history of cancer was associated with a non-exposure behavior. Conclusions: These data provide important new information about sun behavior in the French population and might give important clues in the field of public health and education to increase the effectiveness of melanoma primary prevention campaigns. A better knowledge of the target to improve would provide better results for public health benefit.

Prevalence of social phobia and its comorbidity with psychiatric disorders in Iran

This study explored the prevalence of social phobia (SP) in the general population of Iran, the sociodemographic characteristics of subjects with SP, and its comorbidity with the other lifetime psychiatric disorders. Our study was part of the nationwide study on the prevalence of psychiatric disorders in Iran. Overall, 25,180 Iranian subjects, age 18 years and over, from urban and rural areas of Iran were selected by a clustered random sampling method and interviewed face-to-face by 250 trained clinical psychologists using DSM-IV diagnostic criteria. Out of 12,398,235 households, 7,795 households in the form of 1,559 clusters of five households were selected. The statistical framework was based on the household lists available from the Department of Health in the provinces. The response rate was 90%. The lifetime prevalence of SP was 0.82%. The rate was 0.4% in males and 1.3% in females. The rate was higher in younger age groups and widows/widowers. It was not related to educational level and residential area. Specific phobia (66.7%), obsessive-compulsive disorder (17.4%), major depressive disorder (15%), and panic disorder (12.1%) were the most common lifetime psychiatric disorders among subjects with SP. The rate of SP in Iran is more similar to that in other Asian countries, and it is lower than that in Western countries. The rate of other psychiatric disorders among subjects with SP is more than that in the general population, and the most common psychiatric disorders were the other anxiety disorders and major depressive disorder.

Changing Attitudes Toward Women: A Longitudinal Study of College Students

Cross sectional data indicate that college students show more liberal attitudes toward women with increasing years of college attendance. This shift may reflect intraindividual change or simply differential dropout of more traditionally oriented students. To study this problem longitudinally, the Attitudes Toward Women Scale was administered to 430 university students who had completed the same questionnaire 2 years earlier. Attitudes toward women generally became more liberal over time for both male and female students, supporting the intraindividual shift hypothesis. For both sexes, attitudes involving women's educational-vocational rights became more liberal than those involving women's marital and maternal responsibilities. Socio-demographic characteristics of subjects who became more traditional were compared with those of subjects who became more liberal.
