The study was designed to explore the attitude towards coping of cancer and cardiac patients as related to certain socio-demographic factors like gender and SES. Purposively selected 360 respondents constituted the sample of the present study. Attitude towards Coping Scale (Rahman, 2010) was used for the collection of data. The sample was equally divided into three categories (cancer. cardiac, normal) on the basis of type of individuals (N=120 for each category).Again they were equally subdivided into male and female on the basis of gender (N=60 for each group).Each category was again equally subdivided into lower middle and upper middle on the basis of SES (N=30 for each group). Results analyzed through ANOVA revealed that the main effects for type of individuals, gender and SES were statistically significant. That is, both cancer and cardiac patients expressed lower coping attitudes as compared to normal individuals, females expressed lower coping attitudes as compared to males and lower middle SES individuals expressed lower coping attitudes as compared to upper middle SES. Again the two way interactions between type of individuals and gender, and type of individual and SES were statistically significant. DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.3329/jles.v7i0.20121 J.

The objective of this study was to review the Brazilian epidemiologic literature on periodontal outcomes and socio-demographic factors, assessing bibliographic and methodological characteristics of this scientific production, as well as the consistency and statistical significance of the examined associations. A systematic review was carried out in six bibliographic sources. The review was limited to the period between 1999 and 2008, without any other type of restriction. Among the 410 papers identified, 29 were included in the review. An increasing number of articles, specifically in the last four years of study, was observed. However, there is a concentration of studies in the South and Southeast regions of Brazil, and many of them are not closely connected to theoretical formulations in the field. In spite of these shortcomings, the review findings corroborate the idea that poor socioeconomic conditions are associated with periodontal outcomes, as demonstrated primarily by income and schooling indicators.

Introduction. The research paper seeks to identify the level of motivation of Slovak educators teaching in Hungary in the context of a low level of teachers’ motivation in Central and Eastern Europe. The aim of the paper is to show the relationship between socio-demographic factors (age, gender, type of school) and the degree of teachers’ motivation at Slovak national schools in Hungary. The results of research on motivation in relation to gender, age and type of school are shown to be inconsistent and yield varying findings. Materials and Methods. This paper is based on the data collected in the survey conducted in 10 Hungarian counties between January and April 2019, using a sample of 139 teachers of ethnic schools (monolingual, bilingual and schools teaching the ethnic language as a separate subject). We processed the obtained research results using methods of descriptive statistics and methods of inferential statistics (Pearson correlation coefficient; Mann-Whitney U test; Kruskal-Wallis H test). Results. The results showed that there was no correlation between the teacher’s age and teaching motivation (p > 0.05). No statistically significant differences were found between gender and teaching motivation when using the Mann-Whitney test. Using a non-parametric Kruskal-Wallis test, the existence of significant differences in the level of motivation of teachers working at various types of schools was confirmed. The research showed that teachers of bilingual schools were the most positive in relation to motivation, and the lowest average scores were achieved by teachers in schools where Slovak is taught as a subject. The age and gender of teachers were not significant in relation to the evaluation of the degree of motivation for teaching Slovak. Discussion and Conclusion. The results presented in the article will be beneficial not only for pedagogical researchers, but especially for Slovak teachers in Hungary, as research of this kind was conducted for the first time.

This paper is a result of primary research titled “Mapping the Profile of Persuasive Da’wah Agenda in Cimahi City.” Cimahi is well known as the industrial centre of ‘creative animation’. The method of research is quantitative by conducting surveys through questionnaires to 399 respondents in Cimahi using multistage random sampling technique. This paper presents important data on the socio-demographic factors of the citizens which can be basic in planning the effective da’wah activities. The sociodemographic factor aforementioned are age, education, and gender of respondents. Those factors must be accurately identified in order to plan the persuasive da’wah. The views of the citizens toward da’wah activity can be parameters toward persuasive da’wah, including what religious theme they preferred to, their preference on the actual da’wah themes, their liking on entrepreneurial da’wah, etc. Citizens give responses to da’wah agenda of both bil-lisan (da’wah through speech) and bil-hal (da’wah through one’s character). The more accepted a da’wah, it means the more persuasive the da’wah is. When citizens do not like the da’wah, it can be said an unpersuasive one. Da’wah persuasion is closely related to its acceptability by the citizens.

Elder abuse has continued to be a serious concern to many stakeholders in the world and Nigeria as reported by researchers, as well as various media platforms. It is from this fact that this present study examined the role of social support and socio demographic factors on elder abuse in Ile-Ife Osun state, Nigeria. Theory of social exchange provided the theoretical framework while a descriptive survey was adopted. Three hundred and ninety-two (392) respondents (Males = 192, Females = 200, M = 70.77, S.D. = 6.33) were selected using a purposive sampling technique. Data were collected using a structured questionnaire comprising demographics variables, elder abuse scale (α = .65), and social support scale (α = .94). Data were analysed using T-test for independence measure and analysis of variance (ANOVA). T-test for independent statistics revealed that social support differentiated the experienced elder abuse t(390) = -3.33; p < .001). There were some gender differences in elder abuse (t(390) = 2.20; p = .028). There was no significant relationship between socioeconomic status and elder abuse (F(3, 389) = 1.46;  p = .225). The study concluded that social support and gender played a vital role with elder abuse in Osun state. The study, therefore, recommended that government should provide appropriate social support such as prompt payment of pension and gratuity, provision of feeding, good, as well as living arrangements with special attention on elderly men

Abstract Introduction Febrile illnesses in children and its management (especially infectious diseases) continue to result in an enormous increase in morbidity and mortality in developing countries causing a global public health concern. However, most low-middle-income countries have failed to institute systematic outcome assessment measures to ensure quality in the management of these conditions at one breadth. This study therefore aimed at assessing the quality care management of febrile illness in under five (5) in health facilities in the Atwima Kwanwoma district of Ashanti Region, Ghana.Methods The study was quantitative using a cross-sectional study design. Data were collected from 58 healthcare providers and 390 folders of children treated for febrile illnesses. Data were analyzed using STATA version 14. Univariate and multivariate analyses were performed to identify socio-demographic, patient and prescribers’ factors influencing management of febrile illness among children under 5 years. Statistical significance for all testing was set as 0.05.Results The mean age and standard deviation of the prescribers were 30.2 ± 3.4. Majority of the prescribers (65.5%) were aged between 23-30years and the rest (34.5%) between 31-37years. About 67.3% were females and the rest (32.7%) were males, more than half of the prescribers (70.7%) were married and the rest (29.3%) were single. More than half (55.6%) of patients seen were females and 44.4% were males. Most of the patients (43.8%) who presented with febrile illnesses were between 0-11 months, while 29.1% and 27.2% of them were between 1-2 years and 3-5 years respectively. The average age of children was 5.7 ± 2.3 months for those who were less than a year and 2.8±1.4 years for those between 1-5years. Patients who believed in superstition were less likely to receive quality care management of febrile illness as compared with those who did not believe in superstitions (AOR=0.50; 95% CI= 0.03-0.70).The results depict that socio-demographic factors such as age of a child and gender, influenced quality care management of febrile illness as detailed in Table 4. For instance, children below 1 year were less likely to receive quality care management of febrile illness as compared with those above 3 years (AOR=0.05; 95% CI= 0.08-0.28). Also, female children were more likely to receive quality care management of febrile illness as compared with their male counterparts (AOR=1.50; 95% CI=0.03-0.70).Conclusion The study concludes that, prescribers’ factors such as those who believed in superstition and socio-demographic factors of children such as age and gender influenced quality care management of febrile illness.Recommendations Health policy makers should promote health education to reduce the negative effects of supersitition in health care management.

The Impact

INTRODUCTION: The World Health Organization defines patient adherence as the willingness to adapt its behavior (in terms of therapy, diet, lifestyle, and diagnostic procedures) to the recommendations agreed with the healthcare provider. Objective. The study aimed to determine the impact of socio-demographic factors and length of elevated blood pressure on the adherence of patients with arterial hypertension. METHOD: The study was performed as a cross-sectional study. The sample consisted of 170 patients, 88 (51.8%) women and 82 (48.2%) men, with a mean age of 58 ± 7.9 years. In addition to the general questionnaire, the study used the Adherence in Chronic Diseases Scale. RESULTS: Statistically significantly higher adherence was found in subjects aged 60-69 years and participants in the study with arterial hypertension for more than 15 years (p<0.05). Subjects with completed primary school had statistically significantly lower adherence (p<0.05). Place of residence, employment status and gender of the respondents did not show a statistically significant influence on the adherence of the respondents (NS). CONCLUSION: It uses the age, educational status and duration of arterial hypertension in the adherence of examination statistics. Place of residence, employee status and gender of respondents do not show a statistically significant impact.

Main Effects

Gender differences in managerial aspirations and managerial potential have been advanced as possible explanations for the structuring of organizations along gender lines, with women concentrated in lower level jobs and under-represented in managerial positions. These hypothesized gender differences were examined in a sample of male and female physical education and non-physical education students. Analysis of variance results showed that the effects of gender, faculty, or their interaction on managerial aspirations were not significant. The main effects of aspiration level, faculty, and gender on the set of managerial potential variables were significant. Aspirants scored higher than nonaspirants on self-assurance, decisiveness, and need for dominance. Non-physical education students scored higher on need for dominance than did physical education students. Males were higher in need for autonomy and need for dominance, while females were higher in decisiveness.
