Practical Implications

This study examines how employees’ messages about a corporate crisis affect external publics’ attitudes and behaviors toward an organization. Specifically, the study investigates whether the valence (positive vs. negative) and communication channels (face-to-face vs. social media) of employees’ messages interact with each other. The results of an online experiment indicate that negative messages concerning an organizational crisis significantly affect publics’ perception of message credibility, behavioral forgiveness, and message retransmission intentions when the messages were delivered during face-to-face communication, while negative messages on social media do not significantly affect publics’ attitudes and behaviors. Positive messages had almost equal impacts on the outcomes, regardless of the communication channels through which the message was shared. Theoretical and practical implications for corporate and business communication are discussed.

Abstract Objective To evaluate the knowledge, attitudes, and behaviors regarding complementary and alternative medicine methods of patients who were admitted to gynecology outpatient clinics. Methods In the present survey, a questionnaire on complementary and alternative medicine practices was applied on 1,000 women (ages between 18 and 83 years old) who were admitted to the gynecology outpatient clinic of a tertiary maternity hospital. Demographic features and knowledge, attitudes, and behaviors about these methods were inquired in face-to-face interviews. Results While 80.7% of the total participants thought that complementary and alternative medicine was beneficial, only 37.5% of them had used these methods previously. The rate of prior knowledge on this subject was of 59.7% and the source of information was physicians for 8.5% of the patients. However, 72.4% of all participants wanted to obtain information on these methods and 93.7% wanted to be informed by physicians. In the decision tree model, having knowledge about complementary and alternative medicine was the most effective factor determining its use (p < 0.001). Phytotherapy was found to be the most used method, with 91.4%. The most preferred plant was onion (18.9%), and the most common reasons for herbal use were stress (15.4%) and fatigue (15.2%). Conclusion More than one-third of the patients who applied to the gynecology outpatient clinics used one of the complementary and alternative medicine methods at least once. As gynecologists and obstetricians, we need to be more knowledgeable about these methods to provide correct guidance to our patients for accessing accurate and effective information.

During the pandemic process that has been going on for more than a year since the pandemic period was declared in 2020, the troubles and restrictions faced by people negatively affect the morale motivation of people. In this study, the definition of recreation areas, which are the leading places where people feel happy and peaceful, has been defined, what they contain is mentioned, and the adequacy of the recreational areas has been discussed in the survey and it has been determined that they are one of the most important needs in the cities. In the example of the recreation area of Çubuk-1 dam, it was investigated whether there is a change in the attitudes and behaviors of people before and after the pandemic, not face to face due to the pandemic, but through a voluntary survey based on social media. Although individuals thought that it was crowded after the pandemic, they preferred to use the recreation area of Çubuk-1 dam by paying attention to mask, distance and hygiene rules. The positive effects of physical activity, socialization, and outdoor travel on health are generally accepted by individuals. During the pandemic process, it has been observed that people have changed the way they spend their free time and the places they want to be, as they are overwhelmed by staying in their homes due to the prohibitions. The psychological and physical positive effects of recreation areas on human health and the changes caused by the pandemic in people's attitudes and behaviors paralleled the responses of the participants to the questionnaire.

The Relationship

What is the effect of one’s religious attitudes and behaviors on the frequency of different emotions? I propose that a stronger religious affiliation and a higher frequency of attending religious services will lead to feeling happy and ashamed more often and feeling sad, anxious, and mad less often. Further, I propose that a higher frequency of prayer will lead to feeling sad, anxious, mad, and ashamed more often and feeling happy less often. I analyze the frequency of these emotions in 892 respondents to the 1996 General Social Survey, a nationally representative dataset obtained via face to face interviews. Regression analysis revealed that more frequent prayer leads to feeling sad and ashamed more often, and more frequent religious service attendance leads to feeling anxious less often. Demographic control variables are also found to have an effect on how frequently one feels sad, mad, and anxious. The results offer partial support for the hypotheses. Further research is necessary to reconcile these differences and to explain the mechanisms by which the relationship between religiosity and emotions operates.

The Impact

The purpose of this study was to determine the effectiveness of a voluntary educational program — Tip It Lightly, Alcohol Awareness Week — on the drinking attitudes and behaviors of college students. One thousand subjects were randomly selected from a medium-size mid-Western university for the study during the 1979–80 school year. Surveys were mailed to subjects with return envelopes provided. Return rate was 55 per cent for pre-program survey and 45 per cent for the post-program survey. Of those returning the post-program survey, 25 per cent of the students indicated they participated in the voluntary educational program. Chi-square statistics were used to further analyze the percentage differences for the following comparisons: 1) pre-program total population vs. post-program total population, and 2) pre-program total population and post-program participating population. The results of this study revealed that for those subjects who participated in the program, there was a significant improvement in their drinking attitudes and behaviors.

Abstract Background: To describe the practices and behaviors of patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) who attend to a face-to-face education program, during the quarantine of the COVID-19 pandemic. Methods: Patients who attended previously a face-to-face education program, responded to a telephonic survey in July 2020. The survey included questions about their practices related to the COVID-19 pandemic, SARS-Cov-2 symptoms, adherence to rheumatoid arthritis treatment, virtual rheumatology consultancy compliance and, the influence of news on their adherence. Results: A total of 260 patients participated in a survey. In July 2020 88% of patients had accessed a telemedicine-based and 12% a face-to-face rheumatology consultation. 3.5% of patients reported having been less adherent to pharmacological therapy due to information received through media or social networks. In general patients had been compliant with COVID-19 prevention recommendations. Only one patient was positive for SARS-CoV-2 and reported only flu symptoms without any complications. Patients highlighted the necessity to have information and education about the relationship between rheumatoid arthritis, its treatment, and COVID-19. Conclusions: An educational program is a helpful tool to maintain high adherence rates to the RA treatment despite of the new challenges associated to the pandemic; Patient-centered education programs should continue to address the patient's concerns and beliefs about their disease and COVID-19.

Background:The new coronavirus disease has become a public health emergency that has not been seen for generations. Covid-19 disease leads to an extreme immune activation and cytokine response and constitutes a big risk and a challenge for patients with inflammatory conditions such as rheumatoid arthritis (RA). During the Covid-19 pandemic, rheumatologists and health-care professionals have faced many challenges to provide an adequate follow-up and treatment to RA patients; one of them, has been the establishment of lockdown for populations older than 60 years and the limitation of having face-to-face consultations, moving us to telemedicine activities. On the other hand, in our center an education program for patients with RA had been established in the second semester of 2019, which due to the epidemiological risk control measures, it was necessary to interrupt when we only had 5-6 months of a project that was planned for 2 years; it was mandatory to pause it and implement virtual education alternatives; this educational program for RA patients was also moved to virtual mode later.Objectives:To describe possible changes in the practices and behaviors of patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) during the lockdown that started in March 2020 in Colombia due to the Covid-19 pandemic, who previously partially attended to an educational program on RA.Methods:We included patients who attended previously a face-to-face educational program, that aims to teach and empower patients in all aspects related to RA. After the lockdown, the educational program had to stop abruptly while an online strategy was developed later; meanwhile the patients did not have any educational activity for 3-4 months. For this study, patients answered to a telephonic survey in July 2020; the survey included questions about their practices related to the Covid-19 pandemic, SARS-Cov-2 symptoms, adherence to rheumatoid arthritis treatment, virtual rheumatology consultations compliance and, the influence of news on their adherence.Results:A total of 260 patients took part in the survey; mean age of the respondents was 60 years IQR (54-66), 93% were female. In July 2020 88% of patients had accessed a telemedicine-based and 12% a face-to-face rheumatology consultation; only 3.5% of patients reported having been less adherent to pharmacological therapy due to information received through media or social networks. Regarding the prevention measures taken during the pandemic, 98% reported to have stayed in their houses since the lockdown was stablished in Colombia, and have implemented or increased hand washing from one or none to more than three times per day. Also 8% of respondents lived with people who were at bigger risk of having SARS-CoV-2 (i.e. health care professionals, workers at public transportation, and supermarkets among others), the main measurement taken was to be completely separate from the person at risk to avoid contagion and maintaining hygiene measures and physical distancing (Fig 1). Only one patient was positive for SARS-CoV-2, due to a possible contagion from a relative at home and reported only flu-like symptoms without any complications. Patients highlighted the necessity to return to the educational on RA program agreeing to attend to an online modality. Patients highlighted the need for educational sessions focused on the relationship between rheumatoid arthritis, its treatment, and Covid-19.Figure 1.Behaviors, practices, and its changes due to Covid-19 pandemicConclusion:An educational on RA program shows to be helpful tool to maintain high adherence rates to the RA treatment despite of the new challenges associated to the pandemic and despite being incomplete due to lack of time; patient-centered education programs should continue to address the patient’s concerns and beliefs about their disease and the Covid-19 issues.Disclosure of Interests:Fernando Rodriguez: None declared, Diana Buitrago-Garcia: None declared, GUILLERMO SÁNCHEZ: None declared, Pedro Santos-Moreno Speakers bureau: Pedro Santos-Moreno has received fees for conferences from: Abbvie, Abbott, Biopas-UCB, Bristol, Janssen, Pfizer, Roche, Sanofi., Consultant of: Pedro Santos-Moreno has received fees for counseling and advisory boards from: Abbvie, Abbott, Biopas-UCB, Bristol, Janssen, Pfizer, Roche, Sanofi., Grant/research support from: Pedro Santos-Moreno has received esearch grants from: Abbvie, Biopas-UCB, Bristol, Janssen, Pfizer, Roche, Sanofi.
