ABSTRACT Objective To explore distinctive links between specific depressive symptoms (e.g., anhedonia, ineffectiveness, interpersonal problems, negative mood, and negative self-esteem) and cyberbullying victimization (CBV). Methods This cross-sectional study collected data from 268 adolescents between the ages of 13 to 15 years-old (50.7% female) who responded to the Children’s Depression Inventory (CDI) and to the Revised Cyberbullying Inventory (RCBI). Results CBV was positively associated with all CDI’s domains (anhedonia, ineffectiveness, interpersonal problems, negative mood, and negative self-esteem). Demographics – such as age and gender – were not significant in explaining CBV. However, ineffectiveness (B = .46, p = .04) and negative mood (B = .37, p < .05) significantly predicted CBV. Conclusion This study reports the first Brazilian examination of the links existing between CBV and specific types of depressive symptoms. Data reinforce the negative impact of cyberbullying experiences on youth’s mental health, highlighting stronger associations between negative mood and CBV, which could inform more tailored interventions.

Abstract: Risk Factors, CHD. Coronary Heart Disease (CHD) is the coronary atherosclerotic disease that causes narrowing of blood vessels. Constriction of blood vessels occurs because of atherosclerosis or spasm or a combination of both. the risk factors of CHD were divided into two, namely the factors that can not be changed and the factors can be changed. Factors that can not be changed include age, family history and gender. While the factors that can be changed include an increase in serum lipids (hyperlipidemia), personality type, smoking, impaired glucose tolerance (diabetes mellitus), lifestyle is less activity (physical inactivity), psychological stress, and hypertension. The purpose of this study to determine the risk factors that lead to increased incidence of coronary heart disease. The study is an observational analytic epidemiologic approach with cross sectional design with a sample of 40 respondents. The data analysis using logistic regression. The results showed the significant influence of CHD events by a factor of age> 40 years (p = 0.7370, hyperlipidemia (p = 0162), hypertension (p = 0365), smoking (p = 0153), as well as physical inactivity (p = 0535 ). Smoking is a risk factor most dominant effect on the incidence of CHD with OR = 4,500. the case studies are necessary to further research with a number of larger samples and develop variable-varabel to be studied is associated with other behaviors and lifestyles that affect developing CHD.

The Relationship

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to expand the research on workplace mistreatment and its effects on individual employees while taking into account the organizational setting. This cross-level study explores the interaction between the team Civility climate (CC) and individual experience of exclusion and their combined effect on the target’s organization-based self-esteem (OBSE). Design/methodology/approach In total, 251 individuals nested in 71 teams (mean team size=4.6) completed surveys. A two-way multi-level interaction model was used to test the moderation hypothesis. Findings The cross-level interaction between CC and exclusion was significant, which means that CC influenced the strength of the relationship between exclusion and OBSE. Specifically, it was found that the higher the group-level civility norms, the stronger the negative relationship between exclusion and OBSE. Research limitations/implications The main limitation of this study is its cross-sectional design. All variables were self-reported and collected at one time-point. Originality/value The present study contributes to workplace mistreatment literature by using a multi-level design to examine exclusion as a predictor of OBSE and team CC as a cross-level moderator of this relationship.

Abstract Objectives Ventilator-associated pneumonia (VAP) is the most common nosocomial infection in patients requiring mechanical ventilation in intensive care units (ICUs). VAP is associated with delayed extubation, prolonged hospital stays, increased healthcare costs and mortality rates. The aims of this study to evaluate the level of knowledge for the prevention of VAP among healthcare workers (HCWs) in ICUs and to assess their knowledge in relation to their socio-demographic characteristics. Methods A descriptive, cross-sectional design was conducted to assess HCWs’ knowledge of the guidelines for prevention of VAP in the ICUs of public and private hospitals in Hodeida city, Yemen. Around 140 self-administered multiple-choice questionnaires were distributed between April and July 2017. Results A total of 120 (85.6%) HCWs completed questionnaire were obtained (20 physicians, 20 anesthesia technicians and 80 nurses) in this study. The total mean score of the HCWs’ knowledge was low (41 ± 18). A statistically significant difference was found in the HCWs’ knowledge scores according to their specialties and gender. Anesthesia technicians had the highest knowledge score followed by physicians and nurses (52.2 ± 16.2, 45.6 ± 21.2 and 37.1 ± 16.9, respectively, p=0.002). Males had higher scores than females (Median [IQR] 4 [3–5] vs. 3 [2–4], p<0.001). Participants who received information about the prevention of VAP had better knowledge than those who did not (46.2 ± 17.7 vs. 36.8 ± 17.3, p=0.006). Conclusions HCWs had a low knowledge level of the guidelines for the prevention of VAP, which may affect their practice. HCWs’ knowledge was affected by their previous received information that increases the necessity to provide them with regular in-service education and training programs.
