Factor Affecting Residents’ Satisfaction with Infrastructure and Service Management in High-Rise Apartment in Kathmandu Valley, Nepal

Rapid urbanization in the Kathmandu Valley, Nepal, has increased the demand for housing, prompting the development of high-rise apartments to address space constraints and population density. This study investigates the factors influencing residents' satisfaction with infrastructure and service management in these apartments. Employing a cross-sectional quantitative design, data were collected from 287 residents across 10 high-rise apartments through structured questionnaires. Principal Component Analysis (PCA) was utilized to identify and categorize key factors affecting satisfaction, supported by reliability and validity tests, including the Kaiser-Meyer-Olkin (KMO) and Bartlett’s Test of Sphericity. Results indicate six latent variables explaining 78.803% of the total variance in satisfaction, highlighting components such as structural stability, water and sanitation systems, fire safety measures, and vertical circulation systems (e.g., lifts and staircases). Satisfaction levels were influenced by the quality of materials, apartment size, and adherence to safety regulations. Demographic data, including age, gender, and education, further shaped residents' perceptions. This research underscores the importance of addressing performance gaps in infrastructure and management services to enhance resident satisfaction and guide future high-rise developments in the region. The findings provide actionable insights for policymakers, developers, and urban planners aiming to improve housing conditions and ensure sustainable urban development in Kathmandu Valley.

The relationship between women’s cognitive flexibility and perceived partner responsiveness with sexual satisfaction: a cross-sectional study

Abstract Cognitive flexibility and perceived partner responsiveness are thought to be important for sexual satisfaction as they facilitate adaptive communication, emotional closeness, and the ability to cope effectively with relational challenges. The objective of the present study was to examine sexual satisfaction in terms of various variables and to explore the relationship between sexual satisfaction and cognitive flexibility with perceived partner responsiveness. Data was collected online between 25.11.2022 and 20.06.2023 from 432 women living in Turkiye. Personal Information Form which was prepared by the researchers in line with the literature, Cognitive Flexibility Inventory (CFI), Perceived Partner Responsiveness Scale (PPRS), and Golombok-Rust Sexual Satisfaction Scale-Female Form (GRSS) were used as data collection tools. The mean age of the women was 30.34 ± 6.75 (min: 19, max: 70). This cross-sectional study revealed that significant negative correlations have been found between the deterioration in women’s sexual satisfaction and cognitive flexibility, and partner responsiveness. In addition, while cognitive flexibility alone accounted for 10% of the total variance in sexual satisfaction in Model 1, the explained variance increased to 28% with the addition of perceived partner sensitivity in Model 2. This study, which shows that cognitive flexibility and perceived partner sensitivity have a significant effect on sexual satisfaction, is important for health professionals in terms of evaluating the factors affecting women’s sexual satisfaction and raising awareness within the scope of evaluating sexuality holistically.

Organizational measures to increase work satisfaction in residential long-term care: A cross-sectional survey from Austria

With increasing care needs and a decline in nursing staff, measures must be found to make long-term care (LTC) attractive for nursing staff and at the same time encourage them to remain in the care sector. For this reason, the question is answered: "How do organizational measures, identified by nursing staff, contribute to improving job satisfaction?". In a non-proportional quota sample along the federal state distribution, the implementation of measures was surveyed in a cross-sectional survey in LTC facilities. The effect of the measures on job satisfaction was analyzed using multiple linear regression. The bundles of measures show a high internal consistency of 0.771 to 0.863. Regression analyses revealed that the bundles of measures, like making LTC more attractive (B = 0.244; p < 0.05), integrating interns (B = 0.222, p < 0.05), duty scheduling and working hours (B = 0.324, p < 0.05), and strengthening relationships (B = 0.078), explain more than 60% of the variance in job satisfaction. Overtime has a negative effect but can be mitigated by duty scheduling (B = -0.017, p < 0.05). Women report higher levels of job satisfaction than men. The type of organization, age and vocational training have no influence on job satisfaction. Duty scheduling and working hours are important factors. Loss in job satisfaction can be cushioned by focusing on these measures. The bundles of measures "Making LTC more attractive", "Duty scheduling and working hours", "Integrating interns", and "Strengthening relationships" are positively associated with job satisfaction. Accordingly, care facilities that implement these bundles of measures have higher job satisfaction rates.

The logistic model reported patients seen by Mexican physicians were almost twice as likely to be satisfied as those attended by non-Mexican physicians.

Exploring Intimate Dynamics in Same‐Sex Couples: The Role of the Subjective Orgasm Experience in Relationship Satisfaction

ABSTRACTThe subjective orgasm experience (SOE) is conceptualized as the evaluation of orgasm from a psychological approach. There are a few precedents regarding the association of this dimension of sexuality with nonsexual aspects, such as relationship satisfaction. This study involved 110 Spanish same‐sex couples (53 male and 57 female), ages ranging from 18 to 54 years, and an average relationship duration of 42.82 months. Most participants reported exclusively homosexual sexual practices, with some engaging in varying degrees of bisexual contact. The study analyzed the dyadic effects of SOE dimensions (i.e., affective, sensory, intimacy, and rewards) on relationship satisfaction and the extent to which intradyadic discrepancies in SOE dimensions explain the variance in relationship satisfaction. In male couples, relationship satisfaction was positively explained by the individual's affective dimension and negatively explained by the partner's intimacy dimension. In female couples, it was positively explained by the partner's rewards dimension. The analysis of discrepancies revealed a decrease in relationship satisfaction due to intradyadic discrepancies in the affective and intimacy dimensions, but only in male couples. Our findings emphasize the need to consider how the perception of orgasm may influence satisfaction with relationship quality and the valuation of bonding.

How does loneliness affect satisfaction with life? What is the role of the perception of God in this interaction?

This study examined the role of loneliness and the perception of God in affecting the satisfaction with life of Muslim individuals living alone in Turkey during the COVID-19 pandemic. Additionally, the study explored the regulatory role of the perception of God in the relationship between individuals' loneliness and satisfaction with life. The research is a cross-sectional study that evaluates individuals' loneliness, satisfaction with life, and perception of God. The study group consists of 378 individuals living alone in Turkey. Among the participants, 196 are women (51.9%) and 182 are men (48.1%). The UCLA loneliness scale, the satisfaction with life scale, the perception of God scale, and a personal information form were used as data collection tools in the study. The examination of research findings indicated that the variables of loneliness, perception of God, and the interaction between loneliness and the perception of God explained 28% of the variance in individuals' satisfaction with life. We determined that satisfaction with life was affected significantly and positively by the perception of God (β = 0.28, p < 0.001) and significantly and negatively by loneliness (β = -0.38, p < 0.001). The interactional effect of the variables of loneliness and perception of God on satisfaction with life was also found to be significant (β = -0.10, p = 0.023). When we examined the details of the regulatory effect, we found that the effect of loneliness on satisfaction with life decreased even more in cases where the perception of God was high. The research findings suggest that loneliness decreases life satisfaction, while positive self-image mitigates this effect. It can be stated that using belief-sensitive therapeutic approaches in the therapeutic process could contribute to alleviating the negative effects of loneliness.

Understanding the influencing mechanism of continuance utilization of rehabilitation services among children with disabilities: a cross-sectional survey in two cities of China

BackgroundContinuance utilization of rehabilitation services among children with disabilities is not optimal. However, little is known about the factors that influence whether rehabilitation is continued. Therefore, a cross-sectional study was conducted in a sample of family caregivers in China to explore the relationship between perceived rehabilitation benefit, expectation, satisfaction, self-efficacy, continuance intention and continuance behavior.MethodsA total of 368 family caregivers of children with disabilities were recruited from rehabilitation institutions through the convenience sampling method in Shanghai and Kunshan, China. We developed a research model that drives continuance utilization of rehabilitation services and proposed 13 research hypotheses based on the Expectation Disconfirmation Theory (EDT) and the extended Expectation-Conformation Model of Information System Continuance (extended ECM-ISC model). A structure equation model was built to test the hypotheses.ResultsAmong the 13 research hypotheses we proposed, 11 of them were supported. The results suggest that family caregivers’ continuance intention of taking children with disabilities for rehabilitation services was associated with their continuance behavior. Satisfaction and self-efficacy were associated with continuance intention. Perceived rehabilitation benefit and expectation were associated with satisfaction. Expectation was associated with perceived rehabilitation benefit. Furthermore, we found that perceived rehabilitation benefit was positively associated with continuance behavior from three different paths, whereas expectation had an indirect correlation with continuance behavior via the sequential mediation variables of satisfaction and continuance intention. In addition, satisfaction and self-efficacy were found to have a significant indirect correlation with continuance behavior via continuance intention.ConclusionsBased on these findings, improvements in perceived rehabilitation benefit, expectation, self-efficacy, satisfaction, and continuance intention are the important issues contributing to the enhancement of continuance utilization of rehabilitation services among children with disabilities.
