Type-1Diabetes mellitus (T1D) management is important to increase the quality of life in diabetic children. This research aimed to explore and to compare the parents and children perspective in the quality of life related to T1D. Cross sectional method was used to 35 dyad children (8-18 years old) and their parents. Children have been registered in top referral hospital in Indonesia. They filled the PedsQL® Module Diabetes 3.2 by self-report. Data were analyzed by t-test. The characteristic of respondents consist of the children and parents age, length of being diagnoses with T1D and the number of visit in the last 6 months.  Quality of life dimensions were measured in the last month since data collected. It consists of sign and symptom, disease and therapy, T1D management concern related to complication and communication. The result showed that the children mean age was 13.11 + 2.85 years old compared to parents (41.03 + 8.34 years old). The average length of being diagnoses with T1D was 4.54 +2.87 years and the average number of visit in the last 6 months was 5.8 + 1.79. Total score of quality of life from parents and children perspective were 64.41% + 10.97 and 63.09% + 13.25. Moreover, t-test analysis found that there was significant difference in parent perspective compared to the children perspective regarding quality of life related to T1D. In conclusion, children have relatively lower perception in evaluating their quality of life in T1D compared to the parents. Therefore, it is necessary for nurses to explore the influencing factors as well as coping mechanism related to T1D management so that nurses can develop individual nursing plan to increase the T1D children's quality of life.

Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to permit further understanding of entrepreneurial personality characteristics of need for achievement, locus of control, innovation, risk-taking and competitive aggression by comparing the self-employed with waged and salaried workers and the general population. Design/methodology/approach – A logistic regression equation was used on the “World Values Survey (WVS)” data set to test the relationship between entrepreneurship and personality characteristics by estimating the probability of an event occurring directly. Findings – This research replicated and extended the earlier work of Beugelsdijk and Noorderhaven (2005). Using two reference groups for comparison, entrepreneurs are different in terms of their psychological characteristics. Specifically, these are need for achievement and locus of control; these were the strongest characteristics. Competitive aggression and risk-taking were moderate in this respect with innovation finding least support. Research limitations/implications – In terms of limitations, the present study does not account for environmental enablers or mitigation of starting and sustaining businesses. Also how do the national media, society and culture regard entrepreneurship? Moreover, is there only one model of entrepreneurship or several? For example, amongst indigenous societies, entrepreneurship is more of a collective rather than an individual pursuit where culture and heritage preservation are more important than purely profit generation. Similarly, no account is taken of the differences (nuanced or otherwise) between entrepreneurial personality characteristics in factor vs opportunity/innovation-driven economies. Practical implications – The self-employed in this study were different to both comparison groups which is important information for government policy formation at all levels in terms of targeted business/career education, infrastructure, funding, opportunity creation and incubator programmes. Furthermore, rudimentary community and university diagnostics could be formulated around these entrepreneurial characteristics to identify potential entrepreneurs for a “career” of self-employment or placement within large firms as “intrapreneurs” to improve productivity and economic growth. Originality/value – This study is the first to use the WVS for scrutiny of entrepreneurial personality traits. It expands and augments earlier work in the field which used the smaller “European Values Survey” by including many more questions pertaining to entrepreneurial personality characteristics adding additional robustness to the outcomes.

The objective of the study was to predict relative accident rates as a function of a two-factor risk-taking model (need for achievement and locus of control). At the same time, the effect of situation-specificity was tested. The subjects were performing the skilled task of Alpine (down-hill) skiing. There were 67 control and 50 injury subjects in all. The 67 controls took a series of three tests (Atkinson's need for Achievement (n Ach), Rotter's Locus of Control (LC) and an experimental instrument called the Situation-Specific Test (SST). The median score on each test was used as the cutting score. Those scoring above the median were scored high, those below were scored as low. Based on the underlying theory it was predicted that the accident/injury group would score high on the LC and SST and would have extreme scores (very high or very low) on n Ach. An interaction between n Ach and LC or SST was predicted. The results indicated that for real-world situations, situation-specific tests are more discriminating than are standardized, non-specific tests. No statistically significant effect for either standard test or the interaction was found. A statistically significant effect was found for SST. The results suggest methodological approaches that may shed light on risk-taking assessment with accident prediction potential in other areas. A successful instrument for discriminating potential accident victims from the population at large was demonstrated. The opportunities for application in other areas of skilled task performance such as industrial jobs and automobile driving are currently being investigated.

Objective - It was previously assumed that the relationship between HLOC and quality of life may be mediated by adherence. HLOC plays a role in determining a person's behavior, including adherence to medical regimens. Methodology/Technique - HLOC was measured by the Multidimensional Health Locus of Control Scale, adherence was measured by the 8-item Morisky Medication Adherence Scale (MMAS-8), and quality of life was measured by the Quality of Life Scale. Findings - The results indicate that Internal HLOC (β = 0,497, p<0.005) and Powerful Others HLOC (β = 0,264, p<0.005) significantly predict quality of life, respectively. However, adherence does not mediate the relationship between HLOC and quality of life (p=ns) Novelty - The study concludes that adherence is not a mediator between HLOC and QOL. Type of Paper - Empirical Keywords: Asthma; Adherence; Chronic Illness; Health Locus of Control, Quality of Life. JEL Classification: I10, I19.

18529 Background: A patient’s spirituality/religious beliefs have a profound role on how one copes with disease & on quality of life (QOL). Perceptions of control play an important role in coping not only with stressful experiences, but also in health outcomes. Therefore, the primary objective was to determine whether patients’ spirituality/ religiosity correlates with quality of life and locus of control. Methods: As part of a pilot study, pts presenting for initial outpatient evaluation in the Department of Symptom Control & Palliative Care were enrolled and completed self-report measures: Functional Assessment of Chronic Illness Therapy-General (FACT-G), FACT-Spiritual Well-Being Scale (FACT-Sp), Duke University Religion Index (DUREL), Locus of Control (LOC), Herth Hope Scale (HHS), Predestination (PDQ), and Hospital Anxiety & Depression Scale (HADS). LOC contained 3 subscales: perceived occurrence of chance, dependence on powerful others, and internal control. Pearson correlation coefficients were calculated to explore the relationship between measures. The Mann-Whitney t-test was used to compare patient scores. Results: One hundred patients (48 men & 52 women) completed the surveys & 90% reported a Christian affiliation. QOL was positively correlated with FACT-Sp (p ≤ 0.001, r = .614) and the DUREL which measures both external/internal religiosity (p ≤ .01, r = .291). Interestingly, there was no gender difference in spirituality as measured by FACT-Sp; however, by the DUREL women engaged more frequently in private religious activity when compared with men (p < 0.001). Men had more perceived internal control with less emphasis on the occurrence of chance events or dependence on powerful others on LOC (p = 0.07), as well as a positive correlation with controlling of one’s own fate as measured by the PDQ (p = 0.1). Conclusions: As oncologists committed to providing comprehensive care, we need to be receptive to the spiritual needs of our patients since it augments their QOL and to empower them to have a sense of control. Future studies need to further define these complex relationships and to recognize possible gender differences. No significant financial relationships to disclose.
