Objective. To assess the impact of PPHN on mortality, morbidity, and behavioural skills.Methods. A retrospective observational study of 143 newborns with PPHN, over an 11-year period, using objective health-status data from medical records and family doctors, and subjective health status data from a standardized Child Behaviour Checklist.Results. The majority of patients were males, treated with inhaled nitric oxide had maladaptation/maldevelopment as pathophysiological mechanism and a gestational age >37 weeks. In term newborns, types of pathophysiological mechanism () and Oxygen Index () were independent predicting risk factors for PPHN-related mortality. Analysis of preexisting disease and outcome categories in term newborns showed only a significant correlation between the use of iNO and respiratory complaints (), not confirmed by multivariate analysis and regression analysis.Conclusions. PPHN is a serious, often fatal condition. The incidence of PPHN in preterm newborns is high. In term survivors, PPHN had no additional role in morbidity/outcome.

Abstract This study examined the factors associated with suicidal ideation among older individuals and compared those factors by their objective and subjective health status. Data were obtained from the 13th wave of the Korean Health Panel Survey in 2018. The sample of 6,283 older individuals, who are 55 years and older, was classified into four groups by their objective and subjective health status. Objective health status was measured by the number of chronic health conditions, and subjective health status was defined by an individual’s self-reported health status. To examine the factors associated with suicidal ideation among four groups of older individuals, logistic regression analyses were conducted after controlling for socio-demographic characteristics, physical health and mental health characteristics. The results show that depression and anxiety were found as common factors associated with suicidal ideation for all four groups. As for the group of older individuals who reported bad objective health and bad subjective health, younger age, being male, and low educational attainment were found to be associated suicidal ideation. For those with bad objective health regardless of their subjective health status, the level of stress was found to be related to suicidal ideation among older individuals. Based upon those results, the present study discussed practical and policy implications for suicide prevention among older individuals by reflecting their objective health and subjective health status.

AbstractSeveral research works in the related international literature on sociology and health sciences deal with the state of health in one selected population. In these studies, the chosen sample is often connected with special jobs, especially with healthcare professionals and their working conditions. These studies predominantly examine the self-rated subjective health status using questionnaires. There are others that assess the state of health based not only on self-rated subjective indicators, but also using objective data gained by measuring. Considering the international experiences, we chose a special population in our research – healthcare professionals working in an institute for chronically ill psychiatric patients. Our choice was influenced by the fact that we wanted to include their unique working conditions when exploring and assessing their health status. Moreover, our approach was to assess the objective state of health alongside the subjective factors, as our hypothesis was that the majority of the indicators presumably coincided. The data were collected with the help of three questionnaires and some indicators of the objective health statuses were measured. The findings were processed using the SPSS 17.0 mathematical-statistical software package. Following the descriptive statistics, we applied hierarchic cluster-analysis based on results of the WHOQOLD-BREF26 life-quality questionnaire, the WHO WBI-5 Well Being Index, and on the body composition analysis. The results show the objective and subjective health status of population and the factors that influenced it; the working conditions and the interpersonal contacts in the workplace. The conclusion was that in the examined population the subjective and objective health status doesn’t coincide.

Stress And Health

Abstract Self-perception of aging may affect the interpretation of health-related changes that influence behaviors. Understanding how self-perception of aging is associated with healthy behavior, stress, and health is essential to prepare healthy aging. The purposes of this study are to examine the influence of healthy behavior on stress and subjective health status and to investigate whether self-perception of aging affects the association in midlife Koreans. This is a cross-sectional study. Data were collected through a self-administered survey using a convenience sampling of 466 midlife Koreans (mean age = 50.7, 52.4% male). The PROCESS macro for SPSS was applied for data analysis. Self-perception of aging was significantly related to stress (r= .20, p<.00), and subjective health was related to healthy behavior (r= .22, p<.00) and stress (r= -.38, p<.00). Healthy behavior predicted stress, which, in turn, affected subjective health status (index=.05, 95% CI [.01, .10]). A significant interaction between healthy behavior and self-perception of aging was found (β= -.22, p=.002), indicating that the influence of healthy behavior on stress was different depending on the individual’s self-perception of aging. It means that the impact of healthy behavior on stress was stronger in individuals with a more negative self-perception of aging. The findings demonstrate the critical role of self-perception of aging, which affects the benefits of healthy behavior on stress and subjective health status. This study highlights the importance of assessing self-perception of aging and developing cognitive behavioral interventions that contribute to modifying stereotyped beliefs about aging for better quality of life in midlife.

Objective: The objective of this study was to investigate the impact of experiencing diverse, multi-dimensional health promotion programmes in school on students’ self-reported health status. Design: Cross-sectional design. Methods: We surveyed 2,568 students from 15 middle schools and 15 high schools in Korea between August 2014 and January 2015. Self-reported information related to health status, attendance at physical, social, mental or spiritual health promotion programmes, and socio-demographics was collected and analysed. Results: Male students, students aged 15 and below, and students living in rural areas were more satisfied with their health status. Regardless of programme type, the number of health promotion programmes attended correlated positively with better overall health status ( p < .001–.032). Attending physical health promotion programmes was significantly associated with physical, mental, spiritual and overall health (adjusted odds ratio [aOR] = 1.28–1.40). Attending mental health programmes was significantly related to all aspects of health status (aOR = 1.49–2.17), and participating in social health programmes was significantly related to all aspects of health status except physical and social health (aOR = 1.36–1.67). Participation in spiritual health programmes was related to spiritual and overall health (aOR = 1.33, 1.58). In hierarchical regression analyses, health promotion programme attendance was independently associated with subjective health status after controlling for differences between schools. Conclusion: Participation in health promotion programmes was found to be related not only to the targeted health status but also to other aspects of subjective health.
