Lately there has been attention to work dissatisfaction and declining quality. Most people find it difficult to motivate themselves, therefore it is not surprising that motivating others is a difficult and complicated task. Motivation indicates the process of movement, including the encouraging situation that arises within the individual, the behavior caused by the situation and the purpose or end of the movement or action. The purpose of this study was to analyze the relationship of nurse characteristics with work motivation in Wamena Hospital inpatient room. This type of research is quantitative with an observational approach. The population is the entire nursing plant in Wamena Hospital with 186 people. Large samples were taken as many as 64 respondents. Sampling techniques used in this study is a simple random sampling technique. Based on the results of the study it is known that there is a meaningful relationship between age, working period and position with work motivation. While there are several factors that are not related to work motivation, namely gender, education and marital status. The statistical test used is path analysis. Statistical tests can be concluded that there is a meaningful relationship to variables as follows: the characteristics of nurses that affect work motivation are age, years of service and position, while the characteristics of gender, education and marital status do not have a significant relationship with work motivation. Based on the results of the study is expected to improve the ability and insight of nursing and motivation of work so that their productivity does not decrease. For example, give remuneration, promotion and periodic reward for outstanding nurses will encourage the motivation of nurse work to develop.

This study analyses time trends in the prevalence of activity limitations andconsequent need for help according to gender, education and marital status amongFinns aged 65-74 years. The study is based on the Mini-Finland Health ExaminationStudy carried out in 1978-80 and the FINRISK-97 Senior Survey collected in 1997.During the past 20 years, functional capacity of the elderly at ages 65 to 74 hasimproved markedly. Women, more often than men, have limitations in severalactivities, but the reverse is true in some activities. Persons with higher than basiceducation have less activity limitations than others. Married or cohabiting men reportfewer difficulties in several activities than other men, but among women differencesaccording to marital status are small. A continuation of the observed decline infunctional limitations would significantly attenuate the increasing trend in the burdenof disability that is to be expected because of the ageing of the population.

Cam Use

178 Background: Real life observations suggest CAM is frequently used by cancer patients. The profound knowledge of CAM use details is crucial for both efficacy and safety of anticancer and supportive therapy. Methods: Semi-structured pilot questionnaire about details of CAM use was presented to all 202 consecutive patients of Palliative Care Outpatient Clinic, E. Dutkiewicz SAC Hospice, Gdańsk, Poland (April-22 and September-30/2016). After excluding 112 patients (no-responders group = N-RES) due to low performance status (N = 64), lack of written agreement (n = 10), diagnosis of non-malignant disease (N = 26), others (N = 12), the final analysis included 90 patients (female: 72,0%, median age: 63,5, range: 24-94 yrs) with advanced cancer (responders = RES). Demographic and clinical data were collected at the same time, then statistically related to CAM use details. Results: RES patients were significantly younger (p = 0,0045) and in better performance status (p < 0,05) as compared to N-RES group (no difference with regard to gender, education level, primary cancer location, duration of malignant disease, marital status). Since the primary cancer diagnosis, CAM was used by 56 (62,2%) RES patients and mostly included vitamin/mineral formulations (36,7%), herbs (32,2%), alternative nutrition (24,4%), music therapy (11,1%) and Chinese medicine (5,6%). The main reasons for CAM use were: to enhance the effects of anticancer therapy (48,9%), to treat its side-effects (15,6%) or the lack of conventional therapy possibilities (5,6%). CAM was used more frequently by patients who experienced weight loss since diagnosis of cancer (p = 0,0028) or those who used CAM methods to control symptoms not related to cancer (p = 0,0109); age, gender, education level, marital status, religious practices frequency were not significantly related to CAM use. Conclusions: 1) CAM use is common among patients with advanced cancer under palliative care; 2) some factors might be in relation to higher CAM use (weight loss, CAM use to control symptoms not related to cancer); 3) further research is required to investigate better different aspects of CAM use such as safety, efficacy and outcomes in this population.

Abstract The issue of job satisfaction has been discussed by the researchers and managers of organizations for several decades. There are many different approaches to the issue. Currently, it is possible to find the research dealing with psychological aspects determining the level of job satisfaction, the research analysing the role of satisfaction and work motivation and the research focused on the consequences of job satisfaction and dissatisfaction. This paper describes how the job satisfaction of employees differs (if so) depending on their gender, level of education and marital status. It was found that people with university education rate their job satisfaction better, than people without university education. Similarly, people in a relationship evaluate their job satisfaction better than people without a relationship. No significant differences in general job satisfaction were found between men and women. The data for the research are based on a questionnaire survey, attended by 4,728 respondents from the Czech Republic working in various industries and in the enterprises of various sizes.

Background and aims: As suggested by the Minorities’ Diminished Return Theory, the association between socioeconomic status and health is weaker for racial and ethnic minorities compared to Whites. The current study compared Blacks and Whites in terms of the association between marital status and physical health. Methods: The State of the State Survey (SOSS) included 881 adults (92 Blacks and 782 Whites) generalizable to the state of Michigan, the United States. The marital status and self-rated physical health (SRPH), which was measured using a single item, were considered as independent and dependent variables, respectively. In addition, age, gender, education, and employment were covariates and race/ ethnicity was regarded as the moderating factor. Finally, logistic regression was used for data analysis. Results: Based on the results, being married was associated with better SRPH, which is the net considered by all confounders. A significant interaction was found between race and marital status on SRPH, suggesting a larger association for Blacks compared to Whites. In race stratified models, marital status was related to better SRPH for Whites and Blacks, but the magnitude of this link was larger for Blacks compared to Whites. Conclusion: Overall, marital status was differently linked to SRPM for Whites and Blacks. Accordingly, policymakers should be cautious while not assuming that diverse racial and ethnic groups with similar economic resources have similar health status.

The aged is one of the most vulnerable cohorts of the COVID-19 pandemic; consequently to curb the spread of the virus public health knowledge is central. This study examines the sources of learning about COVID-19 pandemic, level of knowledge/awareness on the pandemic, and to ascertain if there is variation in the level of knowledge among older adults in South-South Nigeria on the basis of income, gender, education and marital status. The study was carried out in Port Harcourt Metropolis, Nigeria. Using analytical descriptive survey research design, older adults from 60 years and above were randomly selected. The instrument used was a structure questionnaire and an assessment test on Knowledge of COVID-19. Percentage, Mean, range, Standard deviation and ANOVA were used in analyzing the data collected.  The study reveals that radio and television were the major sources of learning about Covid-19 among older adults, that their level of awareness of the symptoms of the disease is poor, moderate in prevention of community spread and basic management of patients with the virus. The study also reveals that there is variation in the level of awareness on the basis of income, while no variation was found in terms of gender, education and marital status. From the findings, it was concluded that radio and television were the dominant source of information on health literacy among the older adults and there is an association between level of level of awareness of COVID-19 and level of income of older adults.

Background of the study: Nursing education is considered one of the academic disciplines with higher levels of job stress. Nursing faculty are seldom viewed as a vulnerable population, yet those who teach nursing are susceptible to physical, psychological, and emotional harm from students, peers, and administrators.[13] In the nursing faculty role, individuals face multiple stressors that, if not handled in a proactive manner, may result in serious stress reactions characterized by negative behavioural, psychological, and physiological outcomes. Burnout, in particular, is a negative consequence of stress. Faculty with higher happiness levels could treat student nurses better. It will have a direct impact nurse's level of happiness and is often displayed how they act in the clinical setting and treat their patients. This study was conducted to assess the level of happiness among nursing faculties working in various colleges of Uttar Pradesh, India. Materials & Methods: Descriptive research design was used in study. The study was conducted among nursing faculties employed in Government and Private nursing colleges of Uttar Pradesh. Through Snow ball sampling method data was gathered among 79 nursing faculties from different nursing colleges. Structured self-administered questionnaire was used to obtain data from the samples. Structured self-administered questionnaire consists of two parts. Part A consists of questions related to demographic data such as Age in Years, Gender, Education, Nature of Job, Annual Income, Marital status and Employment of Spouse. Part B of the tool consists of Oxford Happiness Questionnaire. Results: The mean score of Oxford Happiness Questionnaire of this study is 4.3. Lowest score is 1 and highest score is 5.9. 56.96% of the participants score was between 4 –5. It indicates the majority of the participants of this study was rather happy or pretty happy. 17.72% of the participants score was in between 5 – 6, which indicates they are very happy. 20.25% OF participants score was in between 3 – 4, and it was interpreted as neutral (not really happy/ unhappy). Oxford Happiness Questionnaire score of 2.53 samples was in between 2 – 3 (somewhat happy). 1.27 % of the samples score was 1, which indicates that they are not happy. Conclusion: Results of our study revealed that majority of nursing faculties working in nursing colleges were found pretty happy. Interestingly level of happiness of nursing faculties participated in this study had no association with the demographic variables such as age, gender, education, nature of Job, annual Income, marital status and employment of spouse etc.

Abstract Background Reducing inequalities in physical activity (PA) and PA-associated health outcomes is a priority for public health. Interventions to promote PA may reduce inequalities, but may also unintentionally increase them. Thus, there is a need to analyze equity-specific intervention effects. However, the potential for analyzing equity-specific effects of PA interventions has not yet been sufficiently exploited. The aim of this study was to set out a novel equity-specific re-analysis strategy tried out in an international interdisciplinary collaboration. Methods The re-analysis strategy comprised harmonizing choice and definition of outcomes, exposures, socio-demographic indicators, and statistical analysis strategies across studies, as well as synthesizing results. It was applied in a collaboration of a convenience sample of eight European PA intervention studies in adults aged ≥45 years. Weekly minutes of moderate-to-vigorous PA was harmonized as outcome. Any versus no intervention was harmonized as exposure. Gender, education, income, area deprivation, and marital status were harmonized as socio-demographic indicators. Interactions between the intervention and socio-demographic indicators on moderate-to-vigorous PA were analyzed using multivariable linear regression and random-effects meta-analysis. Results The collaborative experience shows that the novel re-analysis strategy can be applied to investigate equity-specific effects of existing PA interventions. Across our convenience sample of studies, no consistent pattern of equity-specific intervention effects was found. Pooled estimates suggested that intervention effects did not differ by gender, education, income, area deprivation, and marital status. Conclusions To exploit the potential for equity-specific effect analysis, we encourage future studies to apply the strategy to representative samples of existing study data. Ensuring sufficient representation of ‘hard to reach’ groups such as the most disadvantaged in study samples is of particular importance. This will help to extend the limited evidence required for the design and prioritization of future interventions that are most likely to reduce health inequalities.

There has been significant progress in the usage of digital payment methods as alternative payment options instead of using cash. Although a majority of researches are still focusing on factors of adoption of digital payment methods, the present work moved on to the next level by examining users’ present level of satisfaction. Further, this work augmented by investigating the impact of demographic factors (gender, age, education, occupation, marital status and income) on users’ satisfaction with use of various digital payment methods in Amritsar, Punjab, India. A structured questionnaire was used to collect the data from 163 users of various digital payment methods. The data were analyzed using statistical techniques. The results show a significant effect of age, gender, education, occupation, marital status and income of respondents on users’ satisfaction. The results of the present work revealed valuable insight into users’ satisfaction with six prevailing digital payment methods vis-à-vis demographic factors.

Open Relationships

Romantic relationships are changing in Western culture. The recent rises of alternative relationship models called consensual non-monogamies (CNMs) like polyamory, relational anarchy or open relationships have drawn some attention towards them. However, the psychological characteristics of non-monogamous practitioners have not yet been investigated and compared to monogamous practitioners, mainly for being a hard to reach population. In this study, 372 participants (with 193 hard-to-reach non-monogamous practitioners) were assessed in their relational style and compared in personality, sexual satisfaction, dominance, and jealousy. On most investigated dimensions, monogamous and non-monogamous participants did not significantly differ from each other. However, non-monogamous practitioners were significantly more open, less conscientious, and also experienced more dominance by their partner, which provided mixed evidence to the study hypotheses. Possible psychological and methodological explanations were outlined. In addition, these significant differences were small, thereby needed to be taken with caution. These differences could not be explained by differences in age, gender, education, marital status, sexual orientation or other measured variables. Since only a few small differences between monogamous and non-monogamous participants were found, this study suggests that monogamous and non-monogamous practitioners are psychologically not different overall. Methodological limitations and future recommendations were assessed and provided, with particular emphasis on replication studies.
