Alcohol Related Problems

This study explores the relationship of the availability of alcohol to various deleterious behaviors and conditions to determine whether laws restricting legal access to alcohol result in a lower incidence of these phenomena. Two alcohol availability measures (city-county ordinance governing the sale of alcohol and number of alcohol outlets per 100,000 population) and five socio-demographic variables were used as independent variables to determine their relationship to the dependent variables of homicide rate, suicide rate, motor vehicle fatality rate, and liver mortality rate. The findings indicate that alcohol availability measures are almost uniformly negatively correlated with the dependent variables. The “forbidden fruit” concept was advanced to explain the findings and questions were raised concerning the effectiveness of utilizing alcohol regulatory measures to reduce alcohol-related problems.

The purpose of this research is to examine the relationship between the entrepreneurship tendencies and self-efficacy of sports college students and whether there is a difference in terms of some demographic variables. The research is a quantitative study based on a relational survey model. The sample of the study consists of 495 participants who continue their education as active students in sports colleges affiliated to the Directorates of National Education in Konya and Kahramanmaraş in Turkey. The data of the research were analysed using a statistical software program. The arithmetic mean and standard deviation values were determined for the data analysis, and the t-test and One-Way Analysis of Variance (ANOVA) tests were used to determine the differentiation of the scores obtained for the variables. In addition, a correlation analysis was used to determine the relationship between variables, and a regression analysis was used to test whether the independent variables predict the dependent variable or not. As a result of the research, it was observed that the entrepreneurship and self-efficacy mean scores of the participants were at a moderate level and that the scores of the participants regarding entrepreneurship and self-efficacy levels differed significantly in terms of the variables of the province, the gender, and the grade level. It was also concluded that as the entrepreneurship perception of the students of sports college increases, their self-efficacy increases and the sub-dimensions “self-confidence, innovativeness, control focus, risk-taking and desire to accomplish” are significant predictors of students’ general self-efficacy while the dimension of “making difference and determination” is not a significant predictor of their general self-efficacy.

BACKGROUND: Seamless and safe discharge of children from hospital requires successful collaboration with community pharmacists, for whom pediatrics is often a small part of their practice. OBJECTIVES: The purpose of this study was to understand community pharmacists' comfort level and confidence in providing care for children. METHODS: We conducted a self-administered online survey of community pharmacists in Ontario, Canada. Respondents rated their comfort and confidence on a scale of 1 to 7 in each of 3 scenarios: oral morphine, prednisone, and amoxicillin. We also evaluated the relationship between participants' comfort level and demographics. RESULTS: We included 622 responses (377 completed and 245 partially completed surveys). A total of 182 participants (48%) were female, 271 participants (72%) had children of their own, and they had practiced pharmacy for a median (interquartile range) of 19 (5–28) years. The percentage of respondents who were comfortable (5–7 on a 7-point scale) with filling the prescriptions as written was 64% for morphine, 58% for prednisone, and 61% for amoxicillin and was not different among the scenarios. Having children was associated with increased comfort (p = 0.02), whereas other demographic variables were not. Compared to the amoxicillin scenario, pharmacists reported being significantly more likely to choose another course of action for prednisone (p = 0.01) but not for morphine (p = 0.25). Although 428 pharmacists (70%) agreed that they maintained adequate knowledge of pediatric topics, 558 (91%) were interested in more education. CONCLUSIONS: Variability exists in the confidence and comfort levels of community pharmacists when dealing with children, and many are not comfortable with the common prescriptions in this survey.
