Underlättande och försvårande faktorer för fysisk aktivitet, en översikt av kvalitativa studier

Joseph, Mccleaf, Viktor, Stafbom January 2022 (has links)
Bakgrund: Underlättande och försvårande faktorer till fysisk aktivitet (FA) är välstuderat inom flera patientgrupper men hos friska vuxna finns inte lika mycket information. Syftet med denna kvalitativa litteraturöversikt var att sammanfatta litteratur gällande underlättande och försvårande faktorer för FA bland friska vuxna.  Metod: Studien var en litteraturstudie där intervjustudier sammanfattades för att få en bild om vilka återkommande teman som finns angående underlättande och försvårande faktorer för FA hos friska vuxna. Varje studie granskades individuellt med Critical Appraisal Skills Programme (CASP) och det sammanvägda resultatets granskades med Confidence in the Evidence from Reviews of Qualitative Research (GRADE- CERQual).  Resultat: Resultatsammanfattningen visar att det finns gemensamma faktorer som lyfts i många studier. Dessa kategoriserades in i fyra olika teman; biologiska, psykologiska, sociala och ekonomiska, samt miljö och samhälle. De främst förekommande underlättande faktorerna var: viktnedgång, njutning, social kontakt och tillgång till platser att träna på. De främsta försvårande faktorerna var: närvaro av sjukdom och rädsla. En majoritet av studierna i litteraturöversikten hade låg risk för snedvridning enligt CASP. Den sammanvägda granskningen med GRADE-CERQual visar inte på några tydliga risker för snedvridning.   Slutsats: Bland dessa kvalitativa intervjustudier fanns en majoritet av psykologiska och sociala faktorer. De ingående intervjustudierna och det sammanvägda resultatet hade låg risk för snedvridning men resultatet bör tolkas utifrån att de granskningsinstrument som används vid kvalitativ litteraturöversikt i sig kan ha stor risk för snedvridning genom att instrumenten lämnar stort tolkningsutrymme. Framtida forskning bör fortsätta undersöka upplevelser av underlättande och försvårande faktorer för FA för att utforska skillnader och gemensamma faktorer mellan populationer.

Healthy Eating in College Students: 24-Hour Dietary Recall and the Theory of Planned Behavior

Douglas, Megan E. 08 1900 (has links)
The transition to college is marked by poorer eating behaviors. The Theory of planned behavior (TPB) represents a promising tool for predicting eating behaviors through the examination of attitudes (ATT), subjective norms (SN), perceived behavioral control (PBC), and intention (INT). Despite prior application of the TPB, there exist several key methodological issues in the literature addressing eating behaviors. The present study utilized an enhanced dietary assessment methodology, the ASA24 dietary recall, and a short-term prospective design to assess the healthy eating behaviors of emerging adults in college. Dietary recalls of 68 participants (average age = 20.76 years; 70.6% female; 70.6% non-Hispanic, 48.5% White, 22.10% Black/African American, 13.20% Asian) were analyzed using the Healthy Eating Index (HEI)-2010 scoring system. Results revealed that very few college students are meeting recommended dietary guidelines. Linear regression indicated that the indirect TPB variables (ATT, SN, and PBC) were related to INT (F[3,64] = 19.67, p < .001), although SN did not account for unique variance. Further, the direct TPB variables (INT and PBC) were related to HEI-2010 scores (F[2,65] = 4.00, p = .023); however, only PBC accounted for significant variance. Overall, findings suggest that more favorable attitudes relate to intention, but only perceived behavioral control consistently relates to actual healthy eating behavior.

Occupational Exposure to Trichloroethylene and Cancer Risk for Workers at the Paducah Gaseous Diffusion Plant

Bahr, Debra E., Aldrich, Timothy E., Seidu, Dazar, Brion, Gail M., Tollerud, David J. 01 January 2011 (has links)
Objective: The Paducah Gaseous Diffusion Plant (PGDP) became operational in 1952; it is located in the western part of Kentucky. We conducted a mortality study for adverse health effects that workers may have suffered while working at the plant, including exposures to chemicals. Materials and Methods: We studied a cohort of 6820 workers at the PGDP for the period 1953 to 2003; there were a total of 1672 deaths to cohort members. Trichloroethylene (TCE) is a specific concern for this workforce; exposure to TCE occurred primarily in departments that clean the process equipment. The Life Table Analysis System (LTAS) program developed by NIOSH was used to calculate the standardized mortality ratios for the worker cohort and standardized rate ratio relative to exposure to TCE (the U.S. population is the referent for age-adjustment). LTAS calculated a significantly low overall SMR for these workers of 0.76 (95% CI: 0.72-0.79). A further review of three major cancers of interest to Kentucky produced significantly low SMR for trachea, bronchus, lung cancer (0.75, 95% CI: 0.72-0.79) and high SMR for Non-Hodgkin's lymphoma (NHL) (1.49, 95% CI: 1.02-2.10). Results: No significant SMR was observed for leukemia and no significant SRRs were observed for any disease. Both the leukemia and lung cancer results were examined and determined to refect regional mortality patterns. However, the Non-Hodgkin's Lymphoma finding suggests a curious amplification when living cases are included with the mortality experience. Conclusions: Further examination is recommended of this recurrent finding from all three U.S. Gaseous Diffusion plants.

Dental caries clinical and experimental investigations

Ockerse, T January 1947 (has links)
Magister Scientiae Dentium - MSc(Dent) / pental caries is the most prevalent of all diseases among civilized peo_ple. ~_n_ol middl~~-~o=~ay with ~full c<?_P.plement of !fu.rty-t~~.J>§rfectly healthy tee!h. From various statistics obtained ffo·m- practically every country in the world, the incidence is estimated to be over 95 per cent. By this is meant that more than 95 ont of every 100 persons suffer or have suffered at some time from one or more carious teeth. Statistics are based mostly on dental examinations of school children, because of the obvious difficulty of examining large groups of adults for dental defects. There is a lamentable lack of reliable and accurate statistics concerning the incidence of dental caries in most civilized countries. Klein and Palmer (1938) reported that the incidence of dental caries (as defined above) among elementary school children in the United States is 95 per cent. Day and Sedwick (1935) found the incidence among Rochester (N.Y.) schoolchildren to be 99 per cent. The final report of the Mixed Committee of the League of Nations of 1937 shows that in Norway, of 25,000 school children examined, only 160 possessed perfect sets of teeth, or 99 per cent. affected by dental caries. Day and Sedwick (1935) state that, in the county of Shropshire in England, 97 per cent. of the children at the age of 12 had dental caries. The Director-General of Health of New Zealand, in .his annual report of 1941, states that of 52,500 children examined, 95 per cent. were affected by caries: In India, Day and Tandan (1940) reported that the incidence of dental caries among urban children in Labore was 94 per cent. In South Africa, Friel and Shaw (1931) found 93 per cent. of urban children suffering from dental caries. Staz (1938) reported that of 300 European adults examined in Johannesburg none showed caries-free mouths.

God, Me, and Thee: Associations Between Religion, Sexuality, and Marital Connection

Clarke, Rebecca Walker 24 February 2022 (has links)
There is a well-established and positive association between religiosity and marital satisfaction. What is less clear is the effect of religiosity on marital sexual outcomes, with research findings that have run the gamut from negative to positive. Given that most religions teach that marriage is the divinely appointed context for a sexual relationship, religious persons who are married and in sexual relationships could have a different experience with sex than those who are not in a marital sexual relationship. Although the majority of the population in the United States is religious, sex in religious marriages has received scant research attention. The purpose of this dissertation is to examine in three manuscripts the association between religiosity, sexuality, and marital connection. In manuscript one, I look at how doctrine of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints dovetails with principles of social science in ways that could potentially improve the sexual connection in these religious marriages. Specifically, I examine how Latter-day Saints can better sanctify their sexuality through autonomy and relatedness. As member couples dovetail healthy religious principles with social science principles, such as focusing on avoiding selfishness and developing a self in a larger moral context, they can experience improved marital connection. In study two, I research the spontaneous mentions of sexuality in interviews with highly religious families in the American Families of Faith dataset. These 198 highly religious families come from a rich variety of socioeconomic, racial/ethnic, and religious backgrounds. Couples and families mention four major themes that matter to them at the intersection of religion and sexuality--boundaries and rules of sex, purposes of sex, navigating culture and media, and concerns around children and sex, such as imparting values. I also offer clinicians who work with religious couples and families ways to help their clients better navigate the intersection between religion and sex. In study three, I use a nationally representative (CREATE) survey dataset to examine the effect of religion on marital connection (emotional and sexual), and whether commitment and empathy mediate that relationship. Commitment and empathy are both elements of Martin Buber's dialogic philosophy that should help individuals enjoy better connection. The association between religion and marital connection is analyzed over time (Waves II, III, and IV, which are approximately one year apart) and with dyadic data (1,818 households completed all three waves). Commitment and empathy do concurrently mediate the relationship between religion and marital connection, but the effects do not last over time, suggesting that these connective attributes need to be renewed often to have a positive effect on marital outcomes. Religion appears to have a positive impact on marital sexuality and marital connection. Popular thought might indicate that marriage often settles into comfortable complacency, but it is not doomed to. Like dynamic individuals, religious married individuals might find their relationship gets better with time and effort. Married religious individuals might also benefit from future research that examines specific religious doctrines or teachings that help married couples enjoy sanctified sex and increase marital connection.

Alfaro Rojas, Julia Stefany 08 July 2020 (has links)
Los cambios en el comportamiento del consumidor que se ha logrado percibir a través de los años ha causado que muchas de las empresas que compiten en el mercado, sin distinción de rubro, hayan optado por adaptarse a los nuevos cambios latentes. Estos cambios se generan en base a que los consumidores ya no buscan solamente adquirir productos o servicios, sino que esperan que estos les generen emociones, es así que nace el marketing experiencial, un nuevo tipo de marketing que, a diferencia del marketing tradicional, busca generar vínculos con el cliente y que así viva experiencias únicas de consumo. Como consecuencia se logra generar valor y trasmitir fidelidad y lealtad en el cliente de hoy en día, el cual es más exigente con las marcas. Por lo tanto, el siguiente trabajo investiga a la lealtad de consumo que los consumidores de 25 a 39 años de NSE A/B que residen en los distritos de la zona 6, 7 y 8 de Lima Metropolitana desarrollan, en base a la aplicación del marketing experiencial, en restaurantes saludables. Las variables que interactúan a partir del tema son: lealtad de consumo y marketing experiencial. Mediante la metodología cualitativa y cuantitativa aplicada en el curso se desea conocer cuan influyente puede ser la experiencia vivida dentro de este tipo de restaurantes para que un consumidor se vuelva leal. / Los cambios en el comportamiento del consumidor que se ha logrado percibir a través de los años ha causado que muchas de las empresas que compiten en el mercado, sin distinción de rubro, hayan optado por adaptarse a los nuevos cambios latentes.
