The COVID-19 pandemic continues to bring colossal impact on families, particularly on marital adjustments. This paper reports findings of a study that examined perceptions of home demands, social support, and marital adjustment among women during COVID-19. A sample of 252 women was taken. Participants were administered a Demographic information sheet, Home Demands Questionnaire, Multidimensional Scale of Perceived Social Support, and Enrich Marital Satisfaction Scale. The data was analysed using Pearson Product Moment Correlation Coefficient and Multiple Linear Regression analysis. Results revealed a significant negative relationship between perceptions of home demands and social support, and marital adjustment, and also a significant positive relation between social support and marital adjustment among women. Findings showed that women are likely to face additional problems because of limited sources of social support due to COVID-19 which is an imperative aspect for marital adjustment. Findings have implications for marriage counsellors, therapists, and clinical practitioners.

The Relationship

Abstract Social isolation is characterized by lack of social contacts and high degrees of loneliness. Feelings of loneliness and social isolation are linked to declines in cognitive functioning and increased risk of dementia. Previous research suggests that loneliness is more prevalent among Black and rural older adults compared to White and urban-dwelling older adults. Given these disparities, it is important to identify methods that reduce social isolation and loneliness among this population. Social technology, such as Facebook and Skype, is one possible way to connect with others. This study uses the Health and Retirement Study (HRS) dataset to examine racial and rural disparities in the relationship between social technology use and social isolation, loneliness, and social support among individuals age 50 and older. The overarching hypotheses are that (1) rural-dwelling older adults and older Blacks will report less social technology use compared to urban-dwelling and older White adults, and (2) there will be a negative relationship between loneliness and social technology use, and (3) a positive relationship between perceived positive social support and social technology use. Racial or rural disparities in these latter potential relationships are exploratory. Multiple linear regression analysis will be performed to assess these relationships. Preliminary correlational results indicate that, consistent with prior work, greater use of social technology was associated with higher social support (N=6,029; r=.29, p<.001). However, contrary to our hypothesis, greater self-reported loneliness was associated with greater social technology (r=.09, p<.001). Examination of potential racial and rural disparities in these relationships are currently underway.

Predictive Variables

This study aimed to determine how some variables including social support, marital harmony, gender, age, age at marriage, duration of marriage, partner’s job status, number of children, marriage type, income level, and responsibility sharing for housework and child care can predict nurses’ job satisfaction. The study was carried out with nurses, who worked at Ondokuz Mayıs University Faculty of Medicine and had been married for at least one year depending on their willingness for participation. In conclusion, a total of 406 married nurses- 280 (69%) females and 126 (31%) males- were included in the study sample. For data collection, we used the Minnesota Job Satisfaction Scale to determine participants’ job satisfaction; the Marital Adjustment Test to determine the level of adjustment in marriage; the Family and Friends Support Scale to determine the perceived level of support from family and friends and, last but not the least, the Personal Information Form developed by the authors to obtain information on other predictive variables. As the study data did not show normal distribution, we used the non-parametric Mann Whitney U test and Kruskal - Wallis H test for analyses. The predictive variables of marital adjustment were evaluated using the Linear Regression Analysis. While the Spearman correlation analysis was used to determine the correlation between scales, the Cronbach’s Alpha was used to estimate the reliability of the tests. Ultimately, gender, age, duration of marriage, income level, housework, responsibility for child care and marriage type were found to have a significant predictive role on marital adjustment of nurses. Moreover, the regression model aiming to express nurses’ marital adjustment through job satisfaction and perceived support from family and friends yielded significant results. ÖzetBu çalışmada sosyal destek, evlilik uyumu ile cinsiyet, yaş, evlenme yaşı, evlilik süresi, eşin çalışma durumu, çocuk sayısı, evlenme şekli, gelir durumu, ev işlerini yapma, çocukların bakım sorumlulukları gibi değişkenlerin hemşirelerin iş doyumlarını ne ölçüde yordadığının belirlenmesi amaçlanmıştır. Çalışmaya Ondokuz Mayıs Üniversitesi Tıp Fakültesi Hastanesi’nde çalışan ve en az bir yıldır evli olan araştırmaya katılmaya gönüllü olan hemşireler dâhil olmuştur. Çalışma kapsamına 280’i (%69) kadın, 126’sı (%31) erkek olmak üzere toplam 406 evli hemşire çalışma grubu olarak alınmıştır. Veri toplama araçları olarak, bireylerin iş doyumlarını belirleyebilmek için Minnesota İş Doyum Ölçeği, evlilik uyum düzeylerini belirleyebilmek için Evlilikte Uyum Ölçeği, algılanan aile ve arkadaş destek düzeyini belirleyebilmek için Aile ve Arkadaş Destek Ölçeği ile yordayıcı diğer değişkenlere ilişkin bilgi elde etmek için de araştırmacılar tarafından geliştirilmiş olan Kişisel Bilgi Formu kullanılmıştır. Veriler normal dağılım göstermediğinden analizlerde parametrik olmayan yöntemlerden Mann Whitney U ve Kruskal - Wallis H testi kullanılmıştır. Evlilik uyumunu yordayan değişkenler lineer regresyon analizi ile değerlendirilmiştir.  Ölçekler arasındaki korelasyon Spearman korelasyon analizi ile ölçeğin güvenilirliği Cronbach Alfa ile incelenmiştir. Sonuç olarak hemşirelerin evlilik uyumunu, cinsiyet, yaş, evlilik süresi, eşin çalışma durumu, gelir durumu, ev işlerini yapma şekli, çocuğun bakım sorumluluğunu alma ve evlenme şeklini manidar olarak yordadığı bulunmuştur. Yine açıklanan sonuçlara hemşirelerin evlilik uyumunu, iş doyumu, algılanan aile ve arkadaş destek ile açıklanmaya çalışılan regresyon modeli anlamlı sonuçlandığı saptanmıştır.

Fear Of Compassion

Background Compassion satisfaction and fear of compassion affect the mental health of professionals who work with people. In addition, each of these two variables can be important indicators of the quality of the services such professionals provide. Methods This study examines compassion as a source of satisfaction and fear among 293 professionals work with people, including 158 teachers, 57 police officers, 45 nurses and 44 imams. A personal information form, the Fear of Compassion Scale, and the Compassion Satisfaction Scale were used as data collection tools. Results Neither fear of compassion nor compassion satisfaction varied significantly according to the sampled professionals’ genders, educational levels, monthly incomes or area of residence. However, both these measures did exhibit statistically significant variation by the respondents’ professional roles, ages, numbers of children and marital statuses. A significant negative relationship between the participants’ fear of compassion and their compassion satisfaction was also identified. Conclusion Courses related to kindness and social interaction should be provided in schools, to help the adults of the future.

Abstract Purpose The main purpose of this study was to assess health-related quality of life (HRQoL) among Syrian refugees resettled in Sweden. Further, we wanted to investigate whether sex, age, education, area of residence, cohabitation and social support were associated with HRQoL in this population. Methods This is a cross-sectional study including 1215 Syrian refugees from a randomly selected sample frame resettled in Sweden between the years 2011 and 2013. HRQoL was measured by the EQ-5D-5L descriptive system, and EQ-5D-5L index values were calculated. Associations between sex, age, education, area of residence, cohabitation, social support and EQ-5D-5L were investigated using multiple linear regression analysis. Results Depression/anxiety was the most commonly (61.9%) reported EQ-5D-5L problem among the group of Syrian refugees. The mean EQ-5D-5L index value was found to be 0.754. Male sex, younger age, cohabitation and social support were found associated with a higher EQ-5D-5L index score. Conclusions Our results concerning long-lasting health problems among the study population indicate that there is a profound need for policies and interventions promoting refugees’ health. Our results also show that social support, a modifiable factor, is relevant to refugees’ overall health, pointing to the importance of public health interventions and policies targeting the facilitation, mobilization and enhancing of refugees’ social support.

The Relationship

During the development of a citrus fruit, many cycles of infection by Xanthomonas citri subsp. citri may occur leading to the development of a range of characteristics of citrus canker lesions scattered across the fruit surface. This study aimed to determine whether the size of the lesions, their distance from the peduncle, and the number and time of appearance of the lesions on fruit of sweet orange were associated with premature fruit drop. A multiple linear regression analysis revealed a negative relationship between the fruit detachment force and the lesion diameter, the proximity of the nearest lesion to the peduncle and the number of lesions. A survival analysis demonstrated that these characteristics significantly influenced the probability and the time that a cankered fruit remained attached to the tree. More than 90% of dropped fruit had large lesions (>5 mm) but not all fruit with large lesions dropped before harvest. Approximately 50% of the harvested fruit had lesions >5 mm. On the harvested fruit remaining on the tree, although large, the lesions had a smaller diameter, were located farther from the peduncle, and were less numerous than those observed on dropped fruit. Small canker lesions neither reduced the detachment force nor the survival of fruit in the tree. The earlier a fruit expressed canker symptoms, the higher the probability the fruit developed large lesions near the peduncle and/or developed lesions in greater numbers. This study provides a better understanding on the relationship between the time of appearance of lesions of citrus canker on fruit and premature fruit drop. This information defines the critical period for fruit protection and may be used to improve disease management.

The present study was aimed to explore the impact of gratitude and forgiveness in predicting subjective well-being in young adults. The sample for the study included 300 participants between the ages of 18 and 24 years who were conveniently selected from a university in Karachi city. Gratitude Questionnaire (McCullough et al., 2002), Heartland Forgiveness Scale (Thompson et al., 2005) and Flourishing Scale (Diener et al., 2010) were used as the measures to collect data. Multiple linear regression analysis revealed gratitude to be nonsignificant predictor of subjective well-being, whereas, forgiveness was found to be a significant predictor of subjective well-being . Further, weak positive relation of gratitude with subjective well-being (r = .14), and forgiveness with subjective well-being (r = .34) has been found. However, the explanatory power of this model was revealed to be significant (R2 = .12), suggesting that the variables share an important association which needs further extensive study. This study implies that forgiveness and gratitude may be effectively used in psychotherapy and substantially integrated in general counselling for young adult clients.
