Multiple Regression Analysis of Factors Affecting the Mental Component Score Constituents of SF-36 in Adult Spinal Deformity

The research on factors that affect employee motivation at Bentre Import Export Joint- stock Corporation (Betrimex) has special significance in motivating employees, attracting and retaining talent, thereby helping the Corporation improve work performance. During the research, 300 employees working at Betrimex were surveyed and 250 employees with valid answer sheets were selected, survey data was processed with the SPSS software and the research model through scale reliability analysis, exploratory data analysis, correlation analysis and multiple regression analysis was tested. The research results have shown 07 factors affecting employee motivation at Betrimex, measured through 37 observed variables and including the pay, bonuses, benefits, allowances, working conditions, relationships with colleagues and relationships with superiors. Where the pay (b = 0.403) is the factor that has the most powerful influence on employee motivation and working conditions (b = 0.171) have the least influence on employee motivation. The results of multiple regression analysis have also showed that the adjusted R2 is 0.732. Thus, 07 independent variables can explain 73.2% of the variations of the dependent variables. Also, the research results have tremendous implications for developing strategies and plans for human resources development of Betrimex in the future.

Abstract INTRODUCTION Aims of awake surgery are considered as maximum resection and functional preservation for postoperative quality of life (QOL). However, any studies have not been focused on the fundamental hypothesis that preservation of brain functions contributes to patient’s QOL. In this study, we investigated postoperative QOL and its related factors to reveal contribution of awake surgery for maintaining QOL. METHODS A total of 63 patients who underwent awake surgery were studied. Several kinds of neuropsychological/neurological tests and SF-36 to assess QOL were performed at 6-month postoperatively. In SF-36, 3-component scores, including physical, mental, and role/social component were calculated and they were compared with healthy volunteers. Additionally, their background factors were collected from medical records. Then, influenced background and functional factors to QOL were analyzed using multiple regression analysis. Moreover, voxel-based lesion symptom (VLSM) analyses were performed to investigate relationship between resected regions and QOL. RESULTS Though physical and mental QOL scores were almost equivalent to healthy volunteers, role and social component score (RCS) were significantly declined (36.7, < .0001). Using multiple regression analysis, RCS significantly related to reinstatement among several background factors (p=0.0038). Until postoperative 6 months, 71.6% returned to professional work. Moreover, RCS correlated significantly with working memory, language, and motor function among several brain functions (p=0.019, 0.0028, 0.010, respectively). In the VLSM analysis, patients who resected following regions showed significantly low RCS; the left inferior frontal and superior to middle temporal gyri which relate to language; and right supplementary motor area and cingulate cortex which are involved in motor control or working memory. CONCLUSIONS The important factors to maintain QOL are reinstatement and preserving brain functions including language, motor, and working memory. This suggests that awake surgery aiming for preserving these functions is a benefit for postoperative QOL.

Multilinear Regression Analysis

Objective In this study, we evaluated factors affecting changes in cervical lordosis after deformity correction and during follow-up period in adult spinal deformity (ASD) patients with severe sagittal imbalance. Methods Seventy-nine patients, with an average age of 71.6 years, who underwent long-segment fixation from T10 to S1 with sacropelvic fixation were included. We performed a comparative analysis of the radiographic parameters after surgery (Post) and at the last follow-up (Last). We calculated the Pearson’s correlation coefficient and performed multilinear regression analysis to predict independent parameters for Post and Last cervical lordosis (CL), T1 slope (T1S), and thoracic kyphosis (TK). Results Hyperlordotic changes of -23.3° in CL before surgery was reduced to -7° after surgery, and Last CL had increased to -15.3°. T1S was reduced from 27° before surgery to 14.4° after surgery and had increased to 18.8° at the last follow-up. Through multilinear regression analysis, we found that Post CL and T1S were more significantly affected by the amount of LL correction (p = .045 and .049). The effect of Last T1S was significantly associated with the Last CL; the effect of Last TK, with the Last T1S; and the effect of Post PI-LL, with the Last TK (p < .05). Conclusion The postoperative kyphotic change in CL in ASD patients with preoperative cervical hyperlordosis is not permanent and is affected by drastic LL correction and SVA restoration. To achieve spinopelvic harmony proportional to the difference in LL relative to PI, TK becomes modified over time to increase T1S and CL, in an effort to achieve optimal spine curvature.

The green building (GB) can be defined as the method of increasing the efficiency of the building and site. However, the spillover effect of GB price in Malaysia has not widely been discovered as there are limited case studies on this issue. This paper attempts to determine the significant factors that influence the GB price. The empirical experiment has been conducted to test the Multiple Regression Analysis (MRA) model on a real dataset of house prices in the area of Klang Valley, Selangor with GB specifications. The result showed that factors related to tenure have significant contributions to the GB price

Background and Objectives: Pain affects psychological stress and general health in the working population. However, the factors affecting psychological job stress related to chronic pain are unclear. This study aimed to clarify the structural differences among factors affecting psychological job stress in workers with chronic pain and those without pain. Materials and Methods: A stepwise multiple regression analysis revealed the differences in structure between the psychological stress of workers with chronic pain and those with no pain. Psychological job stress by the Brief Job Stress Questionnaire was used as the dependent variable, with psychological state (depression and anxiety), specifically that characteristic of chronic pain (pain catastrophizing); information on the nature of the pain (intensity and duration); and number of years of service as independent variables. Selected independent variables were evaluated for collinearity. Results: In the model with psychological stress as a dependent variable (chronic pain: r2 = 0.57, F = 41.7, p < 0.0001; no-pain: r2 = 0.63, F = 26.3, p < 0.0001), the difference between the experiences of workers with chronic pain and those with no pain was that chronic pain was associated with depression (Beta = 0.43, p < 0.0001) and no pain with anxiety (Beta = 0.34, p < 0.0001). In the model with chronic pain-related depression as a dependent variable (r2 = 0.62, F = 41.7, p < 0.0001), job-life satisfaction (Beta = −0.18, p = 0.0017) and magnification (a dimension of pain catastrophizing; Beta = 0.16, p < 0.0001) were significant. Conclusions: The results of this study suggest that the psychological characteristics of chronic pain, such as depression and magnification, should be considered when evaluating and intervening in the job stress of workers with chronic pain.
