The Impact

The Cancer Information Service, a telephone information and referral service, was implemented to provide cancer patients, their family members, community physicians, and health professionals access to current information about new methods of cancer detection, diagnosis, treatment and rehabilitation. The use of the service was evaluated over a thirty-six month period by an analysis of more than 20,000 inquiries. Initial findings suggest that the impact of diagnosis and treatment of cancer upon patients and their family members creates needs for information and support not met by patient-physician relationships. Results also suggest that telephone intervention by para-professional counselors can be effective with respect to providing information about cancer and its treatment, as well as limited psychosocial support and referral to available community resources.

Object: This study aimed to assess the relationships between trend of mortality rate from subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH) and blood pressure and smoking prevalence among about 700,000 residents of Shimane prefecture, Japan. Methods: A retrospective review was performed to identify the age-adjusted mortality rate from SAH calculated using the standard population of Japan in 2010 and changes in population of Shimane prefecture used the date based on government statistics during 1999 through 2017. Blood pressure dates were extracted from Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare during 2008 through 2015, and smoking prevalence from Cancer Registry and Statistics. Cancer Information Service, National Cancer Center, Japan every 3 years since 2001. Result: Age-adjusted mortality rate from SAH in Shimane prefecture tended to decline by 3.6% between 1999 through 2017 regardless of gender, as 14.86 (95%CI:14.65-15.07) per 100,000 person-year in 1999 to 7.96 (95%CI:7.81-8.11) in 2017. The Population of Shimane prefecture, where one of the most aging region in Japan, was decreased by 10.4% since 764,291 in 1999 to 684,668 in 2017. Blood pressure was invariable during 2008 through 2015, while smoking prevalence decreased since 2001 to 2016, as 25.0% to 18.0%. Conclusion: Age-adjusted mortality rate from SAH in Shimane prefecture have declined since 1999 to 2017, regardless of decrease of population and advancement of aging region. The factor of decline might be not only development of treatment and management, but decrease of incidence of SAH in Japan accompanied by improvement of smoking prevalence or lifestyle habitation.

The Impact

The bureaucratic reform at the local government level in Indonesia that was instituted in 2012 has turned local government internal auditors into an important part of government governance systems. The role of local government internal auditors has been expanded to include not only the area of audit oversight, but also the areas of anti-corruption-related and consulting activities. These fundamental changes may potentially induce role conflict and role ambiguity among internal auditors. The objective of this study is to examine empirically the determinants and consequences of role conflict and role ambiguity among local government internal auditors. More specifically, this study attempts to examine the extent to which formalization determines role conflict and role ambiguity; it further tests the impact of role conflict and role ambiguity on commitment to independence and job performance. Questionnaires were distributed to 248 local government internal auditors from 12 Regional Inspectorates in the provinces of Yogyakarta, South Sumatra, and East Java. A total of 176 responses were received, and 124 useable responses from the 176 responses were analysed to test the hypotheses. Using Structural Equation Modelling-Partial Least Square the results show that: formalization is negatively related to role conflict and role ambiguity; role ambiguity has a negative impact on commitment to independence; role conflict has a positive impact on job performance; and role ambiguity has a negative impact on job performance. These findings serve as important external validity evidence on the phenomena associated with role conflict and role ambiguity that occur in the public sector, especially among internal auditors at local government institutions.Keywords: role conflict, role ambiguity, local government, internal auditors
