Η παρούσα διδακτορική διατριβή μελετά θέματα κοινωνικού κεφαλαίου, υγείας και προαγωγής της υγείας, καθώς και πολιτικών για την προαγωγή της υγείας στην Τριτοβάθμια Εκπαίδευση. Πιο συγκεκριμένα η διδακτορική αυτή διατριβή εξετάζει πώς οι πολιτικές για την προαγωγή της υγείας, οι οποίες αναπτύσσονται στην Τριτοβάθμια Εκπαίδευση, συνδέονται με το κοινωνικό κεφάλαιο των φοιτητών και επηρεάζουν την υγεία τους με διαφορετικούς τρόπους. Επίσης, ο σκοπός της παρούσας διδακτορικής διατριβής είναι να διερευνήσει πώς οι φοιτητές υιοθετούν τις πολιτικές για την προαγωγή της υγείας στο Πανεπιστήμιο φοίτησής τους με βάση το κοινωνικό τους κεφάλαιο. Για τη διεξαγωγή της εμπειρικής έρευνας χρησιμοποιήθηκε το ανώνυμο γραπτό ερωτηματολόγιο. Η επεξεργασία των δεδομένων πραγματοποιήθηκε με το στατιστικό πακέτο SPSS 24 και χρησιμοποιήθηκαν οι στατιστικοί δείκτες: t-test, One Way Anova και Παραγοντική Ανάλυση, ενώ στα ποιοτικά δεδομένα του ερωτηματολογίου εφαρμόστηκε θεματική ανάλυση. Το δείγμα της έρευνας αποτελείτο από 445 τεταρτοετείς φοιτητές της Σχολής Ανθρωπιστικών και Κοινωνικών Επιστημών του Πανεπιστημίου Πατρών, οι οποίοι φοιτούσαν στο εαρινό εξάμηνο 2017-2018. Το μέγεθος του δείγματος θεωρήθηκε αντιπροσωπευτικό του πληθυσμού που διερευνήθηκε. Με βάση τα αποτελέσματα της εμπειρικής έρευνας, διαπιστώθηκε ότι το κοινωνικό κεφάλαιο των φοιτητών επηρεάζει σε μεγάλο βαθμό την αποδοχή και την υιοθέτηση των πολιτικών για την προαγωγή της υγείας οι οποίες προωθούνται από το Πανεπιστήμιο Πατρών, καθώς και τις αντιλήψεις τους σε θέματα σχετικά με την υγεία και την προαγωγή της υγείας στο Πανεπιστήμιο. Αυτή η έρευνα κατέδειξε ότι οι φοιτητές πρέπει να δημιουργήσουν ένα ισχυρό κοινωνικό κεφάλαιο στο Πανεπιστήμιό τους. Για να επιτευχθεί αυτό, τo Πανεπιστήμιο θα μπορούσε να βοηθήσει τους φοιτητές και τις φοιτήτριες να αναπτύξουν το κοινωνικό τους κεφάλαιο, για παράδειγμα δημιουργώντας δεσμούς μεταξύ του προσωπικού του Πανεπιστημίου και των φοιτητών, και παράλληλα προωθώντας δραστηριότητες οι οποίες να ενισχύουν την κοινωνική αλληλεπίδραση στην πανεπιστημιακή κοινότητα.

This study aims to explore the association between nurses' leadership styles and personal and professional nursing profile and workload. The sample consisted of seven nurses and seven nursing technicians who were grouped into pairs. At the end of three months, nurses were queried regarding what leadership style would be adopted when the nursing technician under their evaluation delivered care to patients admitted to the ICU. Relevant data was analyzed by applying descriptive statistics, Tukey's multiple comparison test and Student's t-test (p< 0.05). Nursing workload reached 80.1% on average. The personal and professional profile variables did not show any relation with the leadership styles chosen by nurses (p>0.05). The determine, persuade, and share leadership styles prevailed. However, whenever the nursing workload peaked, the determine and persuade styles were used (p<0.05).

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to identify the factors associated with the fear of falling after discharge in older adults who had surgery for fall fractures.Methods: The participants were 143 older adults aged 65 or older hospitalized at the General Hospital due to a fall fracture. Data were collected from July 2019 to June 2020 using questionnaires for activities of daily living, pain, depression, and fear of falling. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, t-test, one-way ANOVA, Pearson’s correlation, and multiple regression.Results: The average age of the subjects was 75.34±6.89 years, and 74.1% were women. The influencing factors on the fear of falling after discharge were activities of daily living (β=.31, p=.001), age (β=.20, p=.004), the need for walking aids or assistance in walking before the fall (β=.20, p=.005), and pain (β=.15, p=.027). Total explained variance was 55% (F=13.17, p<.001).Conclusion: Based on the results of this study, it is necessary to actively intervene the fear of falling once older adults are hospitalized, considering the factors associated with the fear of falling after discharge in older adults who had surgery after experiencing a fall fracture and to develop an educational program to reduce the fear of falling.
