Introduction:Individuals may consider stroke complications as a threat to their well-being and self- esteem. Anger often occurs in patients after stroke and can disrupt the course of patient’s recovery.The aim of the present study was to investigate anger expression and degree of functionality in patients after stroke. Additionally, the relationship between the above parameters, as well as their correlation with socio-demographic characteristics and clinical factors of these patients were explored.Method:A total of 110 patients after stroke (69 men and 41 women) with a mean age of 69.3 ± 13.7 years were recruited and completed (a) a sociodemographic-clinical questionnaire, (b) the State - Trait Anger Expression Inventory and (c) Barthel Index.Results:76.4% of the participants had ischemic stroke; while the 60% were retired. and the 20% of the sample showed severe to total dependence on self-care of basic parameters such as mobility, personal hygiene, feeding, incontinence and standing alone using the toilet. There was a positive statistically significant correlation between the degree of functionality and anger control. Patient, who were more independent and functional, exhibited more control of their anger. Women had statistically significant lower functionality/ independence score (BI) and anger-in score than men. Finally, patients with a history of prior stroke had higher anger-out score compared to patients with no previous history.Conclusions:People with a previous history were more likely to suffer from greater and/or permanent functional impairment, disability, dependence, and experience emotional distress for longer periods of time. Women usually take care of other family members. Their inability to fulfill their role as well as their own dependence make the situation even more stressful, resulting in expressing anger. The results can be exploited by health professionals in order to recognize patients’ difficulties in rehabilitation programs.

The late Dr. Fazlur Rahman, Harold H. Swift Distinguished Service Professor of Islamic Thought at the Oriental Institute of the University of Chicago, has written this book as number seven in the series on Health/Medicine and the Faith Traditions. This series has been sponsored as an interfaith program by The Park Ridge Center, an Institute for the study of health, faith, and ethics. Professor Rahman has stated that his study is "an attempt to portray the relationship of Islam as a system of faith and as a tradition to human health and health care: What value does Islam attach to human well-being-spiritual, mental, and physical-and what inspiration has it given Muslims to realize that value?" (xiii). Although he makes it quite clear that he has not attempted to write a history of medicine in Islam, readers will find considerable depth in his treatment of the historical development of medicine under the influence of Islamic traditions. The book begins with a general historical introduction to Islam, meant primarily for readers with limited background and understanding of Islam. Following the introduction are six chapters devoted to the concepts of wellness and illness in Islamic thought, the religious valuation of medicine in Islam, an overview of Prophetic Medicine, Islamic approaches to medical care and medical ethics, and the relationship of the concepts of birth, contraception, abortion, sexuality, and death to well-being in Islamic culture. The basis for Dr. Rahman's study rests on the explication of the concepts of well-being, illness, suffering, and destiny in the Islamic worldview. He describes Islam as a system of faith with strong traditions linking that faith with concepts of human health and systems for providing health care. He explains the value which Islam attaches to human spiritual, mental, and physical well-being. Aspects of spiritual medicine in the Islamic tradition are explained. The dietary Jaws and other orthodox restrictions are described as part of Prophetic Medicine. The religious valuation of medicine based on the Hadith is compared and contrasted with that found in the scientific medical tradition. The history of institutionalized medical care in the Islamic World is traced to awqaf, pious endowments used to support health services, hospices, mosques, and educational institutions. Dr. Rahman then describes the ...

Scholarly and journalistic investigations of content moderation have thoroughly documented its emotional impact on workers, but have yet to analyze moderation as care labor. Out of sight from U.S. and European consumers, content moderators are hired by third-party outsourcing firms primarily in the Philippines or India to remove offensive or violent content from internet platforms in order to preserve their profitability and users’ emotional well-being. Situating content moderation in the long history of domestic labor relations in the U.S., which were designed to support the expansion of imperial power, this essay proposes new ways of understanding the relationship between affective labor and the procedures of empire.

Experiencing victimization in childhood increases risk of adulthood revictimization, and it is important to understand what may contribute to such risk. One factor that may help to explain the increased risk of future victimization is disclosure. However, the literature is mixed as to whether disclosure of prior victimization is helpful for protecting against adverse outcomes, and much of the research on disclosure focuses solely on sexual victimization. The current study examines the relationship between various forms of childhood and adulthood victimization and whether disclosure moderates this relationship. In addition, this study investigates whether characteristics of disclosure are associated with revictimization risk. The sample included 275 undergraduates ( M age = 19.52 years; 75.6% female, 77.5% non-Hispanic White or Caucasian). Participants reported on previous history of various forms of childhood and adulthood victimization. They also reported whether or not they had disclosed childhood victimization, and, if so, characteristics related to disclosure. Results revealed that number of childhood victimization experiences significantly predicted number of adulthood victimization experiences, and nearly every type of childhood victimization significantly increased risk of experiencing each type of adulthood victimization. Disclosure did not moderate the relationship between childhood and adulthood victimization. Participants who disclosed were more likely to disclose crime and peer/sibling victimization and disclose to parents or friends. Positive reactions to disclosure were more common than negative reactions; however, 75% of disclosers received at least one negative reaction. Finally, revictimized individuals received more overall negative reactions than nonrevictimized individuals. They also received more reactions characterized by the person they disclosed to trying to take control of their decisions or treating them differently. Results highlight the importance of examining relationships between various forms of victimization, considering how characteristics of disclosure relate to risk of revictimization, and the importance of educating potential support networks about appropriate responses to disclosure.

SummaryOf a sample of families containing abused and at risk children, in 29 per cent one or both parents had attempted suicide. The rate at which the suicide attempts were repeated within a year was higher than that expected for other attempters of the same age group. A previous history of psychiatric disturbance and marital breakdown was strongly associated with the combination of child abuse and suicidal behaviour. The relationship between child abuse and attempted suicide did not appear in most cases to have been a direct one; often both forms of behaviour seemed to reflect marital difficulties.

Objective 1) To examine the relationship between migraine status and complete mental health (CMH) among a nationally representative sample of Canadians; 2) To identify significant correlates of CMH among those with migraine. Methods Secondary analysis of the nationally representative Canadian Community Health Survey – Mental Health (CCHS-MH) (N=21,108). Bivariate analyses and a series of logistic regression models were performed to identify the association between migraine status and CMH. Significant correlates of CMH were identified in the sample of those with migraine (N=2,186). Results Individuals without a history of migraine had 72% higher odds of being in CMH (OR=1.72; 95% CI=1.57, 1.89) when compared with those with a history of migraine. After accounting for physical health and mental health problems, the relationship between migraine status and CMH was reduced to non-significance, with both groups having an approximately equal likelihood of achieving CMH (OR=1.03; 05% CI=(0.92, 1.15). Among those with migraine, factors that were strongly associated with CMH were a lack of a history of depression, having a confidant, and having an income of $80,000 or more. Conclusion Clinicians and health care providers should also address co-occurring physical and mental health issues to support the overall well-being of migraineurs.

The conditions of pregnancy can increase anxiety in women, therefore it can cause a negativeimpact on pregnant women themselves and on their fetuses. Anxiety is one of the risk factors ofthe incidence of pre-eclampsia in pregnant women. Pre-eclampsia is still the top three causes ofmaternal death in the field of obstetrics in Indonesia. The purpose of this study is to know andanalyze the relationship of anxiety with the incidence of pre-eclampsia in RSUD Dr. R. GoetengTarunadibrata Purbalingga. This research is a quantitative study, with case control design,sampling technique with an accidental sampling approach. Data collection using a standardquestionnaire from Hamilton. Analysis in quantitative studies using the X2 test (chi square) Theresults of this study that there is no statistical relationship between anxiety and the incidence ofpre-eclampsia with a value of ρ = 0.732 but clinically found that mothers with anxiety have a riskof 1, 26 times higher experience pre-eclampsia ( value of OR = 1.26). As for some externalvariables in this study that theoretically become a predisposing factor for pre-eclampsia includingage, previous history of pre-eclampsia or hypertension, hereditary history, history of hormonalfamily planning acceptors related to pre-eclampsia.

In this study, the prevalence and associated risk factors of vaginal candidiasis among female patients attending the Federal Medical Centre, Owerri was investigated. High Vaginal Swabs (HVS) specimens were collected, cultured and C. albicans identified. The overall prevalence rate of vaginal candidiasis was 28.3%, with the highest rate of 33.3% observed among the age group 26-30years, while the lowest prevalence (17.1%) was among ages 31-45 years. Based on the nature of underwear, those who wore silk and very tight underwear recorded the highest prevalence (34.5% and 77.8%, respectively) while those who wore nylon and loose underwears had the least prevalence (23.1% and 24.2%, respectively). By level of education, primary school leavers had the highest prevalence (50%) while graduates had the lowest prevalence (23.9%). Those who had history of STI and those with vaginal discharge/discomfort had high prevalence of 30.8% and 30.1%, respectively. The study revealed the prevalence of vaginal candidiasis among general study subjects to be 28.3%; 34 out of 120, which was considerably higher than that of non-candidiasis; 86 out of 120. Low income, sexual activity, tight underwears, previous history of STI, ignorance, as well as poor personal hygiene have been implicated as possible risk factors. Efforts should therefore be made to educate females on the subject from time to time and access to quality social amenities, health care services, prompt diagnosis and treatment of STI and vaginosis should be improved upon. Microbiological analysis of HVS for all pregnant women during their first antenatal visit is also recommended.

Introduction: Occupational contact dermatitis can be interpreted as a health problem on the skin caused by exogenous and endogenous factors related to work. Electroplating is one of high-risk jobs that caused occupational contact dermatitis because of direct contact with chemicals during working. In addition, contact dermatitis is also affected by individual factors of each worker. This research purpose was to identify the relationship among endogenous factors and the occupational contact dermatitis case in metal coating workers in home industry. Method: The research design used was observational with a cross sectional approach. The total population was used as the sampling technique in this study with a total of 28 workers from two metal coating industries in Durungbanjar Village consisting 13 workers from CV. M and 15 workers from CV. N. The data were obtained from the survey, sighting, and medical record notes. Variables from the study included age, working period, history of illness, and personal hygiene. The data were processed using the coefficient contingency test. Result: There were 64.3% of electroplating workers experienced contact dermatitis. The age aspect has a weak relationship (c = 0.295), the working period element has a weak relationship (c = 0.298), the disease history factor has a weak relationship (c = 0.352) and the individual hygiene factor has a strong relationship (c = 0.547). Conclusion: The endogenous factors including age, working period, history of disease, and personal hygiene affect contact dermatitis case. There is a strong relationship between personal hygiene and contact dermatitis cases in metal coating workers. The worse personal hygiene of the workers, the higher risk of workers experiencing contact dermatitis. Age, working period, and history of disease had weak relationship with contact dermatitis case.Keywords: contact dermatitis, endogenous factors, metal coatings

SummaryDuplex ultrasonography was used to measure the diameters of the common femoral, superficial femoral and popliteal vein segments in 123 patients following DVT. A cross sectional analysis was done based on the most recent visit to determine chronic venous diameter changes following DVT.Venous diameters in recanalized segments were smaller at all levels compared to those never occluded (p = 0.06 for CFV and p <0.05 for SFV and PV). After accounting for a previous history of occlusion, the diameters of the segments with and without reflux were not significantly different. There was also no evidence of venodilation in segments caudal to cephalad reflux or thrombus.Recanalized veins are smaller in diameter than those which were never thrombosed. Cephalad thrombus or reflux is not associated with venodilatation of caudal segments. Reflux following DVT is probably secondary to valvular damage rather than hypertension, since there was no diameter difference between refluxing and non-refluxing segments.

This article builds on earlier work by Rich in the Journal of Humanistic Psychology on relations between positive psychology and humanistic psychology and examines both developments and challenges over the past 15 years, including discussion of leading critics of positive psychology such as Brown, Friedman, Held, Kagan, Waterman, and Wong. The discipline of positive psychology is contextualized with respect to the history of psychology in general, and humanistic psychology in particular, and several notable examples of well-being research are examined critically, including work by Fredrickson on the positivity ratio, and mixed-methods research by anthropologists. The article explores some limitations of the use of quantitative methods in positive psychology, notes some advantages of the use of qualitative methods for positive psychology, and discusses issues regarding the relationship between positive psychology and humanistic psychology, including how, whether, if, and when scholars from the two disciplines could collaborate in meaningful and effective ways.
