Theoretical Conceptualization

The learning environment (LE) provides a context for many educational phenomena, of which wellness and burnout are particularly important. The LE can be thought of as consisting of a psychosocial dimension of personal, social, and organizational factors and a sociomaterial dimension that consists of spatial and technical factors. The interplay between elements of the LE and wellness of the participants is complex and only partially understood, requiring further research. Using this multidimensional model to describe and to plan to deliberately modify the learning environment can foster more rigorous and meaningful research evidence about the interaction of wellness and the LE. This article highlights four key considerations that scholars of wellness should consider when exploring the impact of the LE or designing interventions to modify the environment. These include 1) a thoughtful definition and theoretical conceptualization of the LE, 2) clarity about the study variables that are essential to the study question(s), 3) thoughtful and appropriate measurement of those variables, and 4) a study design that balances quality with feasibility. We provide a practical illustration of how these considerations can be applied in studies exploring the intersection of wellness and the LE.

Introduction. Health-related quality of life (HRQL) of chronic patients has been researched as the ultimate goal of modern treatment of chronic diseases to improve patients? quality of life. Objective. The objective was to assess the reliability of the Serbian version of the Sickness Impact Profile (SIP) questionnaire on the sample of patients with chronic viral hepatitis. Methods. The research covered 102 patients with chronic hepatitis (47 type B and 55 type C). The assessment of the reliability of the SIP questionnaire was performed by testing the internal consistency of the questions by calculating the Cronbach?s alpha coefficient. The factor analysis was used to assess whether the grouping of the questions within dimensions matches the distribution of the questions in the original English version of the questionnaire administered to U.S. patient population. Results. The Cronbach?s alpha coefficient for the entire questionnaire is 0.925, 0.869 for the physical dimension, and 0.857 for the psychosocial dimension. After running a factor analysis of the psychosocial dimension, ?emotional instability? was extracted as the key factor, confirming the results of previous research. Compared with the English version of the questionnaire, the Cronbach?s alpha coefficient of the Serbian version does not diverge significantly, whereas the factor analysis confirms the classification of the questionnaire into two dimensions. Conclusion. Our study has shown that the Serbian version of the SIP questionnaire is a reliable tool for assessing the HRQL of patients with chronic hepatitis B and C before starting treatment.

The article is an attempt to analyze the phenomenon of multiculturalism and the issues to accompany in the context of building and achieving human identity. The main emphasis is placed on presenting the psychosocial dimension of constructing identity and its interactive character. Social identity is the other essential part of the issue next to individual identity. The objects of the author’s attention here are therapeutic implications and dilemmas presented in the context of multiculturalism.

Retirement is a unique phenomenon experienced by an individual who works very formal. One marker of retirement is lost in many aspects, including income, activities, identit themselves and friends as a source of support. For individuals who do not have the preparation, retirement is a burden that can give psychosocial implications not only to him but also to the family and society. Therefore it is necessary that there is a program that can help workers prepare yourself both before and after retirement.

Psychosocial Dimension

The current study investigated the possibility that certain psychosocial factors may actually have a direct impact on the basic muscular mechanics of the human at work. The psychosocial dimension chosen for this evaluation was personality type. The Jenkins Activity Survey was used to classify subjects as Type A (n=10) or Type B (n=10) individuals. Each subject participated in an EMG-based biomechanical study to investigate the coactivation patterns of the muscles that span the elbow joint. Subjects performed isometric, isokinetic (50 deg/sec) and isoacceleration (50 deg/sec/sec) elbow flexion exertions. Isometric exertions were performed at 20, 40, 60 and 80% of maximum isometric flexion torque. Dynamic exertions were performed at 20 and 40% of maximum isometric flexion torque. Results showed that Type A individuals experienced significantly higher antagonist muscle activity than Type B individuals. Biomechanical implications and possible relations to Type A characteristics are discussed.
