The purpose of this study was to examine the effect mediated by self-determined motivation on an athlete’s burnout, anxiety and fear of failure. To this end, the sample group consisting of 235 semi-professional yachtsmen and women was asked to answer four questionnaires which set out to assess each of the study’s variables: Behavioural Regulation in Sport Questionnaire, Performance Failure Appraisal Inventory, Sport Anxiety Scale-2 and Athlete Burnout Questionnaire. The ex-post facto research was designed to analyse a single group based on structural equation modelling (SEM) between the constructs under analysis. The results illustrate that behavioural regulation could be used to positively predict burnout and fear of failure mediated by sport anxiety. Moreover, behavioural regulation has a significant, positive and moderate bearing on burnout and is wholly mediated by sport anxiety. It concludes by underscoring the point that there is no relationship either between behavioural regulation and burnout or between behavioural regulation and fear of failure, unless the athlete in question experiences anxiety.

Background:In recent years more attention has been given to patients reported outcomes (PROs). Systemic sclerosis (SSc) is no exception. As there is no effective treatment or cure to SSc, it is important to recognize the relevance to patients of the different features of the disease to improve quality and enjoyment of life: the ultimate targets of therapy. Remarkably lacking in PROs is the evaluation of the overall perspective of subjective well being, equivalent to ‘happiness’ or “positive psychological dimensions”.Objectives:To examine the determinants of happiness and quality of life (QoL) in patients with SSc with emphasis on disease activity, disease impact and personality traits.Methods:This is an observational, cross-sectional and multicenter study from six rheumatology clinics in Portugal. A total of 113 patients with SSc with a complete set of data on disease activity, disease impact, personality, quality of life and happiness were included.Structural equation modelling (latent variable structural model) was used to estimate the association between the variables using a maximum likelihood estimation with Satorra-Bentler’s correction and performed with STATA® 15.0. Two hypotheses were pursued: H1 – Disease activity and impact of disease are negatively associated to overall QoL and happiness; H2 – ‘Positive’ personality traits are related to happiness both directly and indirectly through perceived disease impact.Results:Results obtained in the structural equation measurement model indicated a good fit [χ2/df=1.44; CFI=0.93; TLI=0.90; RMSEA=0.06] and supported all driving hypotheses (Figure 1). Happiness was positively related to ‘positive’ personality (β=0.45, p=0.01) and, to a lesser extent, negatively related with impact of disease (β=-0.32; p=0.01). This impact, in turn, was positively related to EUSTAR activity score (β=0.37; p<0.001) and mitigated by ‘positive’ personality traits (β=-0.57; p<0.001). Impact of disease had a much stronger relation with QoL than with happiness (β=-0.78, p<0.001). Quality of life and happiness had no statistically significant relationship.Conclusion:Optimization of Qol and happiness in people with SSc requires effective control of the disease process. Personality and its effects upon the patient´s perception of the disease impact, seems to play a pivotal mediating role in these relations and should deserve paramount attention if happiness and enjoyment of life is taken as the ultimate goal of health care.Disclosure of Interests:Tânia Santiago: None declared, Eduardo Santos: None declared, Ana Catarina Duarte: None declared, Patrícia Martins: None declared, Marlene Sousa: None declared, Franscisca Guimarães: None declared, Soraia Azevedo: None declared, Raquel Ferreira: None declared, Miguel Guerra: None declared, Ana Cordeiro Consultant of: Ana Cordeiro has acted as a consultant for Roche, Speakers bureau: Ana Cordeiro has received speaker fees from Boehringer Ingelheim, Lilly, and Vitoria, Inês Cordeiro: None declared, Sofia Pimenta: None declared, Patrícia Pinto: None declared, Maria Joao Salvador: None declared, José Antonio P. da Silva Grant/research support from: Pfizer, Abbvie, Consultant of: Pfizer, AbbVie, Roche, Lilly, Novartis

Abstract:Objective:The quality of life (QOL) of patients with schizophrenia has been found to be positively correlated with the social network and empowerment, and negatively correlated with stigma and depression. However, little is known about the way these variables impact on the QOL. The study aims to test the hypothesis that the social network, stigma and empowerment directly and indirectly by contributing to depression influence the QOL in patients with schizophrenia and schizoaffective disorders.Method:Data were collected on demographic and clinical variables, internalized stigma, perceived devaluation and discrimination, empowerment, control convictions, depression and QOL. Structural equation modelling (SEM) was applied to examine the impact of the above-mentioned constructs on QOL.Results:The influences of the social network, stigma, empowerment and depression on QOL were supported by the SEM. A poor social network contributed to a lack of empowerment and stigma, which resulted in depression and, in turn, in poor QOL. Interestingly, however, the social network and stigma did not show a direct effect on QOL.Conclusions:Following a recovery approach in mental health services by focusing on the improvement of the social network, stigma reduction and especially on the development of personal strength has the potential to reduce depression in patients with psychosis and improving their QOL.

Introduction: Diabetic ulcer is one of the chronic complications of diabetes mellitus. Several studies in Indonesia reported that the mortality rate of gangrene ulcers in people with diabetes ranged from 17-32%, and diabetic ulcers affected the quality of life of sufferers. All patients hospitalized require discharge planning. From the explanation above, it can be concluded that Diabetes Mellitus is a degenerative disease that indeed requires hospitalization. The purpose of this study is to find out whether the Discharge planning process has a relationship with the quality of life of patients with Diabetic Ulcers. Methods: With the Ex post facto study design, 28 respondentwho were in accordance obtained measurements of discharge planning processes using interview methods and measurements on quality of life using the WHOQOL-BREEF questionnaire with spearman rank non parametric correlation analysis methods. Results: The results of the value are obtained: a = 0.05 with = rs table (0.707), RHO count (0.949)>rs table then categorized in the table Relationship Strengths correlation results obtained in this category is very strong / near perfect with the value 0.76- 1.00. Conclusions:This shows that there is a significant relationship with the strength of a very strong / near-perfect relationship according to the table.

The purpose of this paper is to examine the suitability of SERVQUAL for trade shows. Theobjective is to identify the significant SERVQUAL dimensions and their relative importance toincrease the purchase intention of visitors to a trade show. The study uses a survey of 400visitors to a big trade fair. Structural equation modelling was used to determine the relativeimportance of the dimensions. Results suggest that SERVQUAL is well suited for assessing theservice quality of trade shows. The tangibility and assurance are the two most significant factorsinfluencing the purchase intention of trade show visitors. Exhibitors should enhance tangibilityin trade shows by methods such as display of product or product prototypes, brochures, andscreens. Further, they should increase assurance by displaying medals and awards won, qualitycertifications achieved, testimonials of past satisfied consumers, and experienced salespeople atthe trade show counters. Trade show organisers should attract big brands for the exhibition toenhance assurance. The present study contributes to the ongoing debate on the relevance ofSERVQUAL in the trade show context. The study demonstrates that SERVQUAL is a decentmeasure to study service quality in trade shows even though the majority literature claimsotherwise. Further, the present research prioritises the SERVQUAL dimensions, helpingmanagers to design customer-oriented sales strategies.
