The control group of 30 adolescents was randomly selected from a population (N = 80) that underwent treatment for behavioral problems. Analysis of variance was utilized to determine if significant differences existed between the treatment and control groups. The paired t test was utilized to determine within group differences between pretest and posttest scores on both groups. Alpha for both tests was set at the .05 level.

Ensayo Clínico

Objetivo: Describir el efecto de una dosis de ejercicio gradual y progresiva de bajo impacto cardiovascular sobre el autoconcepto físico en un grupo de adultos mayores.Métodos: Ensayo Clínico Aleatorizado y Controlado con intervención simple ciego en dos grupos equivalentes (experimental y control), bajo un modelo de mediciones repetidas. La muestra estuvo compuesta por 20 sujetos por grupo. Se seleccionaron adultos mayores de 60 a 70 años, de ambos sexos, sin riesgo cardiaco; se excluyeron adultos mayores con patologías que pudieran causar limitaciones en la funcionalidad músculo-esquelética o cardiopulmonar. La intervención consistió en la realización de ejercicio de forma gradual y progresiva, 3 veces por semana durante 10 semanas. El indicador para evaluar el autoconcepto físico fue el Instrumento de Auto descripción (SDQ), con un patrón de respuesta tipo Likert.Resultados: Ingresaron 45 sujetos, grupo control 22 adultos (edad 66.6±6.14) y grupo experimental 23 adultos (edad 67.0±7.19); completaron el programa 38 adultos. En ambos grupos predominaron las mujeres (66.7%), nivel socioeconómico medio (73.3%) y escolaridad básica (44.6%). No existió diferencia significativa entre los grupos antes de la intervención, en contraste, después de la intervención existió diferencia significativa entre grupos, lo que resultó en un incremento del autoconcepto físico en el grupo experimental y un descenso del autoconcepto físico en el grupo control.Conclusión: La intervención de ejercicio controlado, gradual, progresivo y de bajo impacto cardiovascular, de tres sesiones por semana durante 10 semanas probó ser efectiva para aumentar el autoconcepto físico en el grupo experimental de adultos.

The aim of this study was to compare the quality of life among workers with and without accident. In a cross-sectional study, 93 workers were selected, 31 who experienced accident and 62 as control group. To gather the data, a researcher-made questionnaire for demographic characteristics and the quality of life questionnaire (SF-36) were used. Mann-Whitney and Chi-square tests were used for data analysis. The mean and standard deviation of age was 30.81±7.29 and 30.56±7.19 in workers with accident (case group) and control group, respectively. Homogeneity was ensured in terms of age and work experience and the two groups had no significant difference in this regard (p&gt;0.05). Most of the participants were high school graduates (67.7%). The majority of accidents (68.8%) had occurred in the manufacturing sections. The most common accident type was sprayed chemical substances (19.4%) and the less frequent was electrocution (3.2%). The mean total score for the quality of life was 37.61±14.29 and 74.92±12.95 in the case and control groups with a statistical significance difference (p&lt;0.001). The results of this study indicate that the incident could affect the quality of life of workers. Therefore, promoting the safety culture can help to reduce the occupational accidents.</p>

This study aims to measure the impact of an intervention, the Community Investment Fund (CIF), on the socio-economic life of rural women. CIF is a community-managed fund aimed at improving the living standards of women by empowering them to undertake income-generating projects to become financially more stable and self-governed in the Khairpur, Shikarpur, Kandhkot-Kashmore and Jacobabad districts of Sindh, Pakistan. This study used a quasi-experimental design approach that involved two groups, i.e., the treatment group (beneficiaries) and control group (non-beneficiaries). The sample size of this study was 708 respondents including the treatment and control group. The results of comparison of mean indicate that there is a significant difference between treatment and control group in terms of socio-demographic variables (including monthly income and consumption, saving amount, total asset value, an asset purchased value and household diet) and women empowerment’s indicators, thereby suggesting that CIF has resulted in women empowerment. Concerning the results of the poverty scorecard, the higher graduation of beneficiaries (treatment group) asserts that the intervention of CIF has also a positive impact on targeted beneficiaries. In particular, the findings indicate that 72% of beneficiaries (treatment group) have graduated from one poverty band to another higher band compared to 59.4% of non-beneficiaries (control group) in poverty score. In addition, the findings of the logistic regression analysis confirmed that participation in the CIF program empowers women beneficiaries. This study will support policymakers to further improve CIF so that it can become more effective and sustainable.
