The aim of this paper is to survey the decayed historic areas of Isfahan (DHI) in order to determine the relationship between housing satisfaction and quality of life. The related literature on quality of life was reviewed and WHOQOL-BREF model was selected for measuring the quality of life as a whole; also, 17 indicators depicting the housing domain of quality of life were chosen for the purposes of this study. A multi-stage sampling technique was applied to data collection. For data analysis, firstly, the data obtained on 17 indicators of housing domain of quality of life were analysed using factor analysis. The factors extracted are housing quality, housing space, security of tenure and housing affiliation. Secondly, a path diagram was applied to obtain the relation between housing satisfaction sub-domains and the domains of quality of life as a whole. The results indicate that the housing space was the most effective sub-domain of housing on the domains of quality of life as a whole. We also found that in order to improve the housing domain of quality of life in the DHI, due attention should be paid to housing quality factor and to improve quality of life as a whole in these areas, it is also necessary to pay attention to housing space factor.

The aim of this study is to examine the relationship between leaders’ interpersonal communication skills and nurses’ innovative behaviour. Moreover, innovative behaviour is essential for nurses in today’s dynamic healthcare systems whereby, the interpersonal communication skill has become an increasingly important factor in enhancing innovative behaviour. This study is based on the conceptual framework of interpersonal communication skills, innovative behaviour, and perceived trustworthiness. Using stratified sampling technique, questionnaires were distributed to 246 nurses’ grade U29 in three public state hospitals in the northern region of Peninsular Malaysia. Since this is a correlational study, a quantitative research method is employed to determine the existing relationship between the variables. Findings indicated that the head nurses implemented moderately all the five components of interpersonal communication skills. The existence of perceived trustworthiness was found to improve the interaction between both parties to transform nurses to generate innovation in their work. The study concluded that interpersonal communication skills are required to be implemented by leaders in enhancing nurses’ innovative behaviour.


Organizational commitment among employees is important to determine organizational effectiveness as employees with higher organizational commitment have higher motivation to stay with their organization. In recent years, previous studies have shown that the teachers’ organizational commitment are low and moderate. Therefore, this study focuses on the effect of work passion toward organizational commitment with work intention as the mediator. The objectives of this study was to determine the effect of work passion on work intention and organizational commitment among teachers and to determine the role of work intention as a mediator in the effect of work passion on organizational commitment among teachers. This study employed a cross-sectional survey involving 355 school teachers in Malaysia through multi-stage cluster sampling technique. Data were analyzed using descriptive analysis, while confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) and structural equation modeling (SEM) were used to determine the fitness of the model with the data. Findings showed that organizational commitment and work passion among school teachers were moderate, while work intention was at a higher level. SEM analysis showed that the model has a good fit with CMIN/df= 3.22, GFI = 0.95, CFI=0.97, TLI=0.95, RMSEA=0.08. In addition, job factors have a significant direct effect on work intention and organizational commitment. Results also showed that work intention mediated the relationship between work passion and organizational commitment. The results of this imply the importance of work passion and work intention in enhancing organizational commitment among teachers in Malaysia.

Background: Immunization is an important cost effective tool for preventing the morbidities and mortalities caused by vaccine preventable diseases. The objectives of this study were to assess the universal immunization programme coverage of children of 12–23 months of age in Kozhikode district and to study the factors associated with immunization coverage.Methods: A cross sectional study was conducted in 30 randomly selected electoral wards of Kozhikode district which were selected using multi stage cluster sampling technique during April 2013 to May 2014.Results: 469 children were studied from 30 clusters. 75.5% was fully immunized while 1.5% was unimmunized. Dropout rate for DPT 3 to Measles was the highest accounting to 20.2%. Most common reason for failure of immunization among unimmunized was that the parents didn’t feel the need (57.1%) and for partially immunized was the illness of the child (27.8%) followed by lack of awareness of the time of immunization (22.2%). Religion, early age of the mother at marriage and first delivery and high birth order were significantly associated with a higher proportion of partially immunized while higher education of the parents (>12th standard), health worker’s home visit in the first year of the child and presence of immunization card were significantly associated with a high full immunization coverage (p<0.05).Conclusions: Immunization coverage of 75.5% is far behind the target to be achieved. 1.5% of the children didn’t get any of the vaccinations. It is very important to increases the coverage to prevent the re-emergence of vaccine preventable diseases.

There are several factors that influence psychologycal well-being, such as meaning, purpose in life, and religiosity. The purpose of this study was to determine the relationship between the meaningfulness of life and the regularity of praying with psychologycal well-being in the 2016 class year students at the Faculty of Usuluddin and Religious Studies of UIN Raden Intan Lampung. The hypothesis proposed in this study is that there is a relationship between the meaningfulness of life and the regularity of praying with psychologycal well-being in students. The subjects in this study were students in 2016 at the Faculty of Islamic Studies and Religious Studies of UIN Raden Intan Lampung totaling 70 people taken by propotionate random sampling technique. Data collection methods in this study used three psychological scales namely the psychological well-being scale with 33 items (α = 0.889), the scale of meaningfulness of life with 25 items (α = 0.843) and the regular scale for praying with 49 items (α = 0.958). The data that has been collected is then analyzed using multiple regression analysis techniques assisted by the SPSS 21.0 for Windows program. The results showed that Rx1.2y = 0.530 with a value of F = 13.082 with p = 0.000 (p <0.01) which means the hypothesis is accepted that there is a significant positive relationship between the meaningfulness of life and the regularity of prayer with psychologycal well-being in students with R2 = 0.281. The ability of life and regular prayers contributed 28.1% to psychologycal well-being. The second result with rx1y = 0.302 with p = 0.011 (p <0.05) which showed a significant positive relationship between meaningfulness of life with psychologycal well-being in the 2016 class year students at the Faculty of Usuluddin and Religious Studies of UIN Raden Intan Lampung.

With the surge of higher education institutions (HEIs) offering the health sciences and medical courses and significant changes in the Philippine education sector, an effective marketing strategy is highly needed. Therefore, HEIs have to compete even more in a very competitive market. The present study aimed to determine the major factors that influence preferences of students who just graduated from senior high school, the relative importance they attach to these factors, and whether there were groups of students for whom different factors were more important. A total of 24,263 prospective students in the health sciences and medical courses from the 125 senior high schools in the Philippines were sampled as respondents. Multi-stage cluster sampling technique was used to recruit the sample. A face to face interview with a set of stimulus cards or through a self-completion questionnaire was used to collect the data and Adaptive Conjoint Analysis (ACA) was performed to analyze students’ preferences. Results showed that the four most important determinants of health science and medical HEI choice for students in the Philippines are academic reputation, quality of facilities, job prospects, and campus atmosphere. A cluster analysis failed to uncover any useful clusters, suggesting that the sample was relatively homogeneous in their preferences and the trade-offs that they made in developing those preferences.
