Relationship of spiritual wellbeing with life expectancy and quality of life for patients living with heart failure

Aim: Spirituality is a crucial dimension in human health. However, it is often overlooked in patients with heart failure (HF) in Iran. Thus, the purpose of this study was to determine the relationship between spiritual wellbeing, life expectancy and quality-of-life (QOL) in patients with HF. Methods: This cross-sectional study was performed with 150 HF patients, who were enrolled through convenience sampling. Data were collected using a questionnaire comprising four parts: the Minnesota Living with Heart Failure Questionnaire, Schneider's life expectancy instrument, Ellison's and Paulotzin's (1982) Spiritual Well-Being Scale, and a demographic checklist. SPSS software was used for data analysis. Results: In this study, mean and standard deviation of QOL, life expectancy and spiritual wellbeing were 41.82±19.17, 30.20±4.58 and 87.80±5.28 respectively. There was a significant relationship between spiritual wellbeing and quality of life (r=-0.633, P<0.001) and also life expectancy (r=0.544, P<0.001). Quality of life and life expectancy were significantly higher in men than in women. Linear regression tests showed that the existential and religious dimensions of spirituality could influence 44.9% of the QOL variance (F=54.54, P<0.001) and increased values of existential spirituality would improve QOL by an average of 3.45 units. Improving life expectancy also raised QOL by 14.0% (F=21.26, P<0.001). This study also demonstrated that life expectancy is impacted by spiritual health, with a variance of 34.2%, in which the role of existential-spiritual health is of particular significance (t=7.10, P<0.001). Conclusion: The results revealed that spiritual wellbeing, especially the existential type, enhances life expectancy and quality-of-life among HF patients. Therefore, it is recommended that healthcare professionals design a comprehensive and supportive care model for the promotion of spiritual wellbeing in HF patients.

Study on Michelet's View of Women

In recent years, Jules Michelet has been increasingly studied, but most of them focus on his Romantic Historiography as a whole. As a representative figure of French Romantic Historiography in the 19th century, Michelet paid special attention to women in addition to country and revolutionary history. This paper analyzes Michelet's view of women in terms of his attitude toward women, the moral qualities he advocated, and the ideal social relations he constructed for women. Michelet justified the historically stigmatized women and emphasized the outstanding contribution of women in French history. Michelet saw tolerance and elegance as inherently virtues of women, on the basis of which the ideal woman should also be humble, chaste, and patriotic. Michelet regarded the "supernature", which is a combination of the spiritual qualities of both genders as the perfect one, and he constructed a set of gender relations in which both sides are unified, complementary, harmonious and even equal. He valued the social value of women's pregnancy and child education, and encouraged them to devote themselves to society and the nation without leaving the family in order to achieve the unity of the people. There is no denying that Michelet's view of women is limited by the times, but it is still highly progressive and noteworthy.

ОПИУМ ДЛЯ НАРОДА: АТЕИСТИЧЕСКОЕ ВОСПИТАНИЕ КАЗАХСТАНЦЕВ ПЕРИОДА «РАЗВИТОГО СОЦИАЛИЗМА»

This study examines the state policy in the field of religion and how it was reflected in the life of Kazakhstani children during the period of “developed socialism”. During the period under study, the country’s leadership proclaimed an improvement in the material and spiritual quality of life of people, the implementation of the idea of raising a “new person” and “ensuring a happy childhood for every child.” The Soviet government promoted Marxist-Leninist scientific atheism, which rejected traditional religious beliefs and practices. The new communist worldview had to be formed from childhood, the ideological and informational campaign at school and in the family is aimed at this.This was facilitated by new Soviet holidays and ceremonies, which should replace religious ones. Religious practices and rituals are harshly criticized, declared enemies of progress, believers were recognized as representatives of a hostile ideology. It was necessary to protect the younger generation from “opium”, to form an atheistic worldview based on scientific knowledge. Proceeding from this, the party and state bodies made the school, the Komsomol, pioneer and public organizations the vanguard of this campaign. But archival sources and oral history data testify to the preservation of religious rituals in the family and everyday life of schoolchildren.

Bodies of earth and air: corporeality and spirituality in pre-modern British narratives of the undead

ABSTRACT Scholarship on the returning dead has tended to contrast corporeal revenants, or risen corpses, with incorporeal ghosts, or phantoms returning from the afterlife. This article argues that it is misleading to draw so clean a distinction between material and spiritual apparitions. Focusing on accounts discussed in Britain between c.1200 and c.1750, the article demonstrates that the bodies of the returning dead were persistently ambiguous. Popular stories endowed apparitions with both spiritual and corporeal qualities, while medieval and early modern theories about elemental bodies offered a philosophical framework for understanding how apparently insubstantial spectres could interact with the material world. The article further suggests that we might better understand the history of ghosts, and of pre-modern bodies generally, by attending to how understandings of ‘spiritual corporeality’ changed over time.

Spiritual well-being and its relationship with patient characteristics and other patient-reported outcomes in peritoneal dialysis patients: Findings from the PDOPPS.

Spiritual well-being (SWB), an individual's understanding of the meaning and purpose of life, may help patients with chronic or terminal illnesses cope with their diseases. This study aimed to assess SWB in patients on peritoneal dialysis (PD), as well as its relationship with patient characteristics and patient-reported outcomes (PRO). The data were obtained from questionnaires that formed part of the PD Outcomes and Practice Patterns Study (PDOPPS). Measures used in this study were SWB scores derived from the WHO quality of life, spirituality, religiousness and personal beliefs (WHOQOL-SRPB) tool including 32 items from eight facets; physical (PCS) and mental component summary (MCS) scores of the 12-Item Short-Form Health Survey (SF-12), Center of Epidemiologic Studies Depression Scale-10 (CES-D-10) scores, burden of kidney disease scores and functional status scores. Overall, 529 out of 848 participants (62%) completely responded to the questionnaires and were included in the analysis. Over two-thirds of PD patients (70%) had moderate or higher SWB scores. The SWB scores were significantly lower in patients with age >65 years and unemployed status. SWB scores positively correlated with higher PCS, MCS, burden of kidney disease scores and functional status scores, while negatively correlated with depression scores by CES-D-10 scale. Patients who reported significant depressive symptoms (CES-D-10 score ≥ 10) had significantly lower SWB scores. Better SWB was significantly associated with better health-related QOL (HRQOL) and the absence of depressive symptoms. SWB may be an essential consideration in the delivery of high-quality PD.

Eland: An Efficient Lightweight Anonymous Authentication Protocol Applied to Digital Rights Management System

&lt;p&gt;A digital rights management (DRM) system provides the function of packaging raw content into an appropriate distribution form, protection for content temper-proof transmission and circumvention of unauthorized use. The digital rights contents in DRM system improve people&amp;rsquo;s spiritual quality and create huge market value. However, in the sharing of digital contents, malicious adversaries could bring security and privacy issues even cause infringement of copyright. To solve these problems, valid user identity authentication and secret key distribution to legal users is an efficient method. Nevertheless, the existing authentication schemes for DRM system have problems of security weakness or efficiency to be enhanced. Thereby, we cryptanalyze these protocols&amp;rsquo; vulnerabilities and propose a new lightweight anonymous authentication protocol called Eland that can be efficiently applied to DRM system. We compare our protocol with six DRM-related authentication protocols from the aspects of security properties, computation expense and communication cost. Comparisons results indicate that our protocol achieves a well trade-off between security and performance. Specifically, our protocol reduces 37.5% communication cost and satisfies more security requirements than Yu et al.&amp;rsquo;s scheme.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

Burnout: exploring the differences between U.S. and international medical graduates

BackgroundInternational medical graduates (IMGs) have less burnout than U. S. medical school graduates (USMGs) during residency training. This study evaluates possible correlates of differences in burnout rates between USMGs and IMGs.MethodsWe surveyed 375 first-year residents at orientation in June/July 2017. We assessed burnout using the Copenhagen Burnout Inventory (CBI) and used validated scales to measure stress, quality of life (QoL), mastery, and spirituality. We collected data on gender, place of graduation, language fluency, and specialty. We compared CBI scores between USMGs and IMGs, performed a multivariate linear regression analysis of relationships between covariates and CBI subscales, and logistic regression analysis for our categorical definition of burnout.ResultsTwo hundred twenty-two residents responded for a response rate of 59%. Personal, work or patient- related burnout was common among residents, particularly among USMGs. The most common form of burnout was work-related. Forty nine percent of USMGs have work burnout compared to 26% of IMGs (p < 0.01). In multivariate analysis, being an IMG reduced odds of work-related and of total burnout by 50% (OR 0.5 C.I 0.25-0.99). Perceived mastery was associated with reductions in all subscales of burnout (p < 0.05). Stress and low QoL related to personal and work burnout scores (p < 0.01).ConclusionWork-related burnout is more common among USMGs than in IMGs. Although mastery, QoL and stress were correlates of burnout among all residents, these factors did not explain the difference. Future studies should evaluate the role of medical school structure and curriculum on differences in burnout rates between the two groups.

Hauntological Pedagogies: Confronting the Ghosts of Whiteness and Moving towards Racial and Spiritual Justice

The purpose of this conceptual article is to bring critical theoretical frameworks and discourses used in educational research on leadership, pedagogy, and policy into conversation with literature on hauntology. Furthermore, this work aims to pursue avenues for theorizing and developing notions of hauntological pedagogies by evoking the language and imagery of ghosts to confront the political, social, and spiritual problems in U.S. schooling contexts that stem from whiteness. This article is grounded in the critical discourses of antiracism, BlackCrit, critical pedagogy, critical race theory, critical whiteness studies, decolonial studies, and TribalCrit. By juxtaposing historical and contemporary case studies in U.S. schooling, this study demonstrates that whiteness, apart from constituting a socially constructed set of power relations, takes on religious or spiritual qualities. Critical educational researchers and practitioners will benefit from engaging with this work as it can help them conceive of and strive for more epistemologically, racially, and spiritually just schooling environments.
