The purpose of this study was to determine collegiate athletes’ knowledge, attitudes, and behaviors concerning hydration and fluid replacement. A survey containing questions pertaining to demographics and knowledge, attitude, and behavior on hydration and fluid replacement was distributed to the athletes during team meetings and practices. A total of 139 out of 171 (81.3%) athletes participated in the study. The mean age of the athletes was 19.8 y. The mean score for knowledge, attitude, and behavior was 13.9 ± 1.8, 9.8 ± 2.2, and 12.4 ± 2.5, respectively, with higher scores indicating positive hydration knowledge, attitudes, and behaviors. Significant positive correlation was observed between knowledge, attitude, and behavior scores (P < 0.05). Significant difference (P < 0.05) was observed in the reported hydration behaviors between skilled (11.79 ± 2.08) and endurance (12.71 ± 2.63) athletes. Most athletes correctly answered the general hydration questions on the survey, but the majority did not correctly answer statements in regards to National Athletic Trainers’ Association (NATA) and the American College of Sports Medicine (ACSM) position stands and lacked knowledge regarding appropriate use of sports drink. The results of this study identify specific areas of education for athletes with regards to hydration.

Abstract Background The healthcare system in Pakistan is facing a shortage of human resources and appropriate and sustainable financial measures and therefore fails to provide optimum services to the population of Pakistan. Furthermore, research is limited in the healthcare institutes; therefore, there is a scarcity of information about patient satisfaction with pharmacists and pharmacy services in Pakistan. As evident from the inadequate information in the literature, patients’ opinions about the pharmacy services in Pakistan are important [1]. Therefore, the current study was designed to assess patient satisfaction with the pharmacy performance of the outpatient pharmacy and its variation with socio-demographic characteristics in twin cities of Pakistan (Rawalpindi and Islamabad). Method A cross-sectional study design was used to assess the patient satisfaction through convenience sampling technique. Minimum sample size of 250 respondents who visit pharmacy department of public and private hospital for pharmaceutical care were included in this study. A pre validated tool was used to assess the patient satisfaction. Data was clean coded and import into spss for analysis. Descriptive and inferential statistic was applied to calculate frequency, standard deviation, mean deviation and p value to find the association among different domain of patient satisfaction with different demographic characteristics of respondents. Result Current study shows overall patients were satisfied from pharmacy services provided by government and private hospitals. Furthermore patient satisfaction towards pharmacist medication advice was very good however patient satisfaction towards pharmacist approach was good while patient perception with pharmacy setting, drug availability and cost were underrated. Significance difference (p ≤ 0.05) was observed in pharmacist’s approach with different gender, age groups and qualification. No significant difference (p ≥ 0.05) was observed in pharmacy setting drug availability and cost with different gender, age groups and marital status of respondents. However Significance difference (p ≤ 0.05) was observed in pharmacy setting drug availability and cost with different level of education patients with less education had better satisfaction as compared to highly educated respondents. Furthermore Significance difference (p ≤ 0.05) was observed in pharmacy setting drug availability and cost with occupation. Self-employee and government employee had low satisfaction score while other had better satisfactory score. Significance difference (p ≤ 0.05) was observed in pharmacist’s approach with different gender, age groups and qualification. Females had better satisfactory score as compared to female. Younger age group had better satisfaction as compared to elderly. Patients belong to higher educational groups had better satisfaction toward pharmacist approach as compared to low qualification groups respondents.

Objective: The vaccine is a solution that stimulates the immune system in order to prevent diseases. This study aimed to investigate the knowledge, attitudes and behaviors of family physicians working in primary care about the vaccine. Methods: The population of this descriptive study consisted of family physicians working in Elazığ provinces and districts. We reached 88.7% of family physicians. A questionnaire including demographic questions, 12 knowledge, 13 attitude and 5 behavior questions was applied to family physicians. The data were evaluated with SPSS 22 program. In statistical evaluations, Chi-square, Mann-Whitney U, Kruskal Wallis and Spearman’s correlation tests were used. Statistical significance was set as p<0.05. Results: Of the 165 family physicians participating in the study, 66.7% were male, and the mean age was 40.67 ± 8.85. The correct answer rate of the 13 questions about the knowledge was 7.59 ± 2.17 on average. The flu vaccine, of which 15.8% of the participants had the most hesitation in administration, was the vaccine that 52.6% applied to themselves and their relatives most. There was no significant difference between the correct answers of those with and without children (p> 0.05). The attitude score was higher in married people than singles (p = 0.006) and people with children compared to those without children (p = 0.012). The behavioral score of the 46-55 age group was higher than that of married people (p <0.001), those who had no children (p <0.001), and those who did research (p <0.001). A positive correlation was found between age and attitude (p = 0.02) and behavioral score (p = 0.03). There was no significant difference between the self-administered vaccine status and the number of correct answers (p> 0.05). Conclusions: We determined that family physicians who were primarily responsible for vaccination had misinformation about the vaccine, that the researchers’ behavior score was high, and that age and attitude and behavior score were positively related.

The dissemination of information via social media is important, particularly during a public health emergency. However, while it is undoubtedly useful in the targeting of genuine health communications, social media may also be used to spread health-related misinformation at times of disease outbreak or pandemic. The study presented here researches the spread of COVID-19 misinformation in Saudi Arabia, by exploring the relevant understanding, attitudes, and behaviors of Saudi Arabian citizens. The current study comprises a survey of 318 adults in Saudi Arabia, of all age groups and educational backgrounds, and from all Saudi Arabian provinces. This study highlights the significance of COVID-19 misinformation and concludes that, despite risks to public health and wellbeing, Saudi Arabian citizens do not consider COVID-19 misinformation to be a significant problem. Participants in this study were relatively aware of such misinformation and its dangers, but it did not greatly concern them, and generally they declined to tackle it proactively.

This study was planned and conducted in order to examine the knowledge, attitudes, and behaviors of university students in the logistics department reading about the food safety and cold chain. The study was conducted on 165 university students (59 girls, 106 boys) who are logistics associate degree students. In the collection of the data, 7 information questionnaire and 20 item attitude scale questionnaires were prepared to determine students' demographic characteristics, food safety, and cold chain knowledge, attitudes and behaviors. The obtained data were evaluated with SPSS 20.0 program using frequency (f), percent (%), t-test and one-way variance analysis (ANOVA) method. It has been determined that students have not received any prior training in the marking of "Have you been trained in Food Safety, Hygiene-Sanitation, Nutrition and Health before?" 146 students (88.5%) answered no to the question " Do you find your information on food safety satisfactory " Statistically significant differences were found in the cold chain information group that the students had given the numbers 1, 6, 7 according to their gender (p <0.05). When the average scores of the infectious disease group were examined, it was determined that they participated in all statements in general. It was determined that there was a statistically significant difference between the responses of the students to the expression 1 and 20 in the cold chain of information group according to their gender (p <0.05). It has been concluded that students are not sufficient in food safety and cold chain knowledge. It has been found that most of the students want to be trained by specialists in the field of the field. Lessons in the curriculum have resulted in food safety and cold chain related compulsory courses, or elective courses that will benefit students to be equipped on a sectoral basis after graduation.

Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to examine the influence of age-related stereotyping processes on younger workers’ mood, attitudes, and impression management behaviors at work. Design/methodology/approach – Using survey data from 281 younger workers, the hypothesized model was tested using structural equation modeling. Findings – As younger workers are more self-conscious about being age stereotyped, they are less likely to be satisfied with older co-workers, which is partly explained by negative mood associated with that metastereotype consciousness. Also, chronological age, age-group identification, and age prejudice, were critical influences on the emergence of metastereotype consciousness. Research limitations/implications – Unexpected findings point to: experiences of younger workers which may not follow the same patterns found with older groups and unique operation of age as a dynamic social category that may not parallel findings regarding other social categories. Practical implications – There is clearly potential for younger workers to be concerned they are viewed “stereotypically” and this metastereotype consciousness influences how they feel, think, and behave at work. Organizations should be aware of the potential antecedents and consequences, as well as the nature of metastereotypic perceptions, to better facilitate positive and productive interactions across age groups at work. Originality/value – This research contributes to an understanding of younger workers’ experiences at work, highlights the role of mood in the operation of metastereotypes on attitudes and behaviors in age-diverse contexts, and improves our understanding of social biases and inequality associated with age-based groups.

Breast and cervical cancer incidence and mortality among women have been increasing worldwide. This cross-sectional study aimed to evaluate women's knowledge, attitudes, and behaviors regarding breast and cervical cancers. The sample was composed of 507 women aged 18 years and older who were admitted to a primary health care center in Karabük, Turkey, from October to December 2019. The data was obtained using a questionnaire consisting of 34 questions regarding participants’ socio demographic characteristics, knowledge, attitudes, and behaviors toward breast and cervical cancers. The mean age of the participants was 41.3±12.0 years and 68.4% of them were married. Slightly more than seven in ten participants knew that the most common cancer in women was breast cancer. Almost six in ten knew that breast self-examination was the first method in the early diagnosis of breast cancer. Breast self examination practice was found to be significant among university graduates. Periodic mammography and pap smear screenings among participants were 21.9% and 23.3%, respectively. Only 3.4% of participants had received the HPV vaccine and there was no significant difference between socio-demographic characteris tics and HPV vaccination status (p-value > 0.05). Participants had moderate knowledge about breast and cervical cancer. Access to cancer screening programs should be facilitated and increased, considering these cancers' public health importance.

INTRODUCTION: The study was descriptively undertaken in order to determine the negative effects of TV-watching upon the health of children aged 1-6 and to explore mothers’ attitudes and behaviors about TV-watching. METHODS: The population of the study consisted of 4377 children aged 1-6 who were registered to Farabi Family Center and Horasan Family Center located in Horasan county of Erzurum Province in 2013. The sample of the study was composed of 353 mothers who had children aged 1-6 years. The data of the study were collected using an information form. For the data assessment; t test, Mann Whitney U test were used for the independent groups while one way variance analysis, Kruskal Wallis Analysis, Pearson and Yates corrected chi-square analysis were used for the independent groups. RESULTS: It was found out that most of the children watched TV for ≥ 2 hours and 61.2% of them had health problems in case they watched TV for long hours. It was seen that there was no difference in mean attitude scores of children aged 1-6 years in terms of TVwatching as far as mothers’ age groups were concerned (p>0.05) while significant difference existed in terms of mean behavior scores (p<0.001). It was revealed that there was significant difference in mean attitude and behavior scores of the children aged 1-6 in terms of TV-watching as far as mothers’ educational status, employment status, economic status, family type, the number of the children aged 1-6 and children’s gender were concerned (p<0.001). DISCUSSION AND CONCLUSION: It was understood that children watched TV more than the time interval recommended and had health problems-particularly; eye and sleep problems- in case they watched TV for a long time. It was seen that mothers’ educational status, family type, the number of the children they had, employment and economic status were important factors on children’s TV-watching. It will be useful to organize training programs that will make mothers aware of the fact that TV may have important psychosocial, mental, physical effects upon children.

Background:The aim of this study was to investigate the associations of age and education with types of leisure-time physical activity in a population sample of Finnish adults.Methods:The sample, part of the National FINRISK Study, comprised 1940 men and 2497 women age 25 to 64 years. Self-reported questionnaires were used to collect data on education and leisure-time physical activity. Overall leisure-time physical activity was further divided into conditioning and daily physical activity.Results:In men and women, age had an inverse association with conditioning physical activity but not with daily and overall leisure activity. Strong direct associations were found between education and conditioning and overall leisure activity.Conclusions:All age groups report fairly similar levels of overall and daily levels of leisure-time physical activity, but the levels differ across educational groups. In health promotion, more emphasis should be targeted to the population groups with lower education.
