Self-neglect in the corporate worldIssel, Rashida 12 1900 (has links)
Thesis (MBA)--Stellenbosch University, 2004. / ENGLISH ABSTRACT: Psychological distress, whether caused by personality traits, biochemical imbalances, or
difficult circumstances or events, can have a profound effect on a one's physical wellbeing
and quality of life as an individual, manager and executive.
Personality traits include type A personality, type B personality, being emotional as well as
management style.
Difficult circumstances or events include changes at work, the birth of a child, the death of
a family member as well as a promotion received at work.
Experiencing constant stress at work, in addition to having unresolved emotions such as
sadness, anger, fear and anxiety can have an effect on one's physical health. This can be
observed in management as sluggishness, tiredness, and depression, increasing
susceptibility to infections, heart attacks, burnout, and rheumatoid arthritis. Personality,
personal experiences and circumstances shape the way one responds emotionally to
problems in life. A particular problem may cause one person to become ill, whereas
another person might cope comfortably with it. However, because responses to problems
are not set in stone, managers can learn to manage their emotional problems more
effectively. Above all, managers can teach their subordinates techniques that can help
them steer clear of self-neglect.
People find themselves living and working in an era dominated by real-time business
decision-making, and many managers are struggling to cope. Of course, there are also
people who are happy, healthy, peaceful and wealthy and who seem to have it all. They
have good positions and seem to have a balanced life regarding their family and work.
They have achieved equilibrium. There is a perception that such people are just lucky.
Perhaps they are, but more likely they simply possess appropriate coping mechanisms
that others too can acquire.
The objective of this dissertation is to assist not only managers, but also the individual to
overcome the rat race that the new millennium has bestowed upon us. It further aims to show that everyone is capable of achieving the necessary tools to combat self-neglect and
destruction of the inner self.
It is suggested that by learning to change ones thinking and behavioural approach to an
event it is possible to change the outcome of the event. By learning a few thinking
(cognitive) and physical (meditation) techniques it is possible to overcome the mere
interpretation of an event, which will allow the individual to improve their ability to cope
with stress and maintain not only their own physical well being, but also the well being of
the organisation.
Furthermore, organisations may assist their employees by encouraging or creating a good
working culture in order to improve both the coqqitive and physical environment as
experienced by the individual. This "looking after the other" relationship can and will only
have a positive effect.
The poet, Khalil Gibran (2002), reflects:
"But I say to you that when you work you fulfil a part of earth's furthest dream,
assigned to you when that dream was born.
And in keeping yourself with labour you are in truth loving life
And to love life through labour is to be intimate with life's innermost secret."
Thus to enjoy life through work, one should learn to enjoy what life hands out by changing
ones perception of the event as well as the attitude towards life and work. / AFRIKAANSE OPSOMMING: Sielkundige distres wat ontstaan as gevolg van óf persoonlikheidstrekke, biochemiese
wanbalanse, moeilike omstandighede of gebeurtenisse ongeag die oorsaak daarvan, kan
'n wesentlike uitwerking op 'n persoon se liggaamlike welstand en lewensgehalte as 'n
individu, bestuurder en bedryfsleier hê.
Persoonlikheidstrekke sluit tipe A-persoonlikheid, tipe B-persoonlikheid, emosionaliteit en
bestuurstyl in.
Moeilike omstandighede of gebeurtenisse sluit veranderinge in die werkplek, die geboorte
van 'n kind, die sterfte van 'n familielid sowel as 'n bevordering by die werk in.
Voortdurende spanning by die werk tesame met onverwerkte emosies soos hartseer,
woede, vrees en angs kan 'n uitwerking op 'n mens se liggaamlike gesondheid hê. In
bestuur kan dit waargeneem word as traagheid, moegheid en depressie, wat 'n mens se
vatbaarheid vir infeksies, hartaanvalle, uitbranding en rumatiek verhoog. 'n Mens se
persoonlikheid, ervarings en omstandighede bepaal hoe jy op die lewe se emosionele
probleme reageer. Een mens mag siek word weens 'n probleem wat iemand anders heel
maklik sal hanteer. Bestuurders kan egter leer hoe om hul emosionele probleme meer
doeltreffend te hanteer. Bowenal kan bestuurders hul onderskiktes tegnieke leer om te
verhoed dat hulle hulself verwaarloos.
Die individu leef en werk in 'n era wat oorheers word deur die neem van vinnige en goeie
sakebesluite en bestuurders sukkel om by te bly. Natuurlik is daar ook mense wat
gelukkig, gesond, vreedsaam en welgesteld is, en lyk of hulle alles het. Hulle beklee goeie
poste en ly skynbaar 'n gebalanseerde lewe tussen hul gesin en hul werk. Hulle het 'n
balans bereik. Die persepsie bestaan dat sulke mense eenvoudig geluk aan hul kant het.
Miskien het hulle, maar dalk het hulle net die regte meganismes om probleme doeltreffend
te hanteer wat ander ook kan aanleer.
Hierdie skripsie se doelwit is nie slegs om bestuurders nie, maar ook die individuele
werknemer wat vasgevang is in die "rat race" wat teweeg gebring is deur die nuwe eeu, te
help om die effekte daarvan teen te werk. Dit streef verder om te bewys dat elke persoon instaat is om die nodige hulpmiddele te bekom om eie-nalatigheid en uiteindelik die selfvernietiging
van die innerlike mens te oorkom.
Dit word verder voorgestel dat deur die aanlering om mens se denkwyses en
gedragspatroon benadering tot die aangeleentheid te verander, is dit moontlik om
sodoende die uitslag van die aangeleentheid te verander. Deur die aanleer van 'n paar
denkwyses (kognitiewe) en fisiese (meditasie) tegnieke is dit moontlik om selfs die
interpretasie van die aangeleentheid te oorkom, wat sal toelaat dat die individu sy vermoë
om spanning te hanteer en die instandhouding van hulle fiesieke toestand te verbeter.
Maatskappye kan ook sy werknemers bystaan deur die aanmoediging van, of die daarstelling van 'n goeie werkskultuur om sodoende beide die kognitiewe en die fisiese
omgewing soos deur die individu beleef, te verbeter. Hierdie "omsien na die ander"
verhouding kan, en sal net 'n positiewe uitwerking hê.
Die digter, Khalil Gibran (2002), reflekteer:
"But I say to you that when you work you fulfil a part of earth's furthest dream,
assigned to you when that dream was born.
And in keeping yourself with labour you are in truth loving life
And to love life through labour is to be intimate with life's innermost secret."
Dus, om die lewe deur middel van werk te geniet, moet mens leer om dit wat die lewe
uitdeel, te geniet. En dit kan slegs bewerkstelling word indien 'n mens se persepsie van
die aangeleentheid sowel as mens se houding teenoor die lewe en werk verander.

Effect of a spiritually-guided intervention on breast self-care attitudes in afro-Caribbean womenUnknown Date (has links)
Little is known about breast health behaviors in Afro-Caribbean women (ACW) residing in the United States, as they are often included in the collective group of African American women (AAW). The objective of this study was to determine the influence of a spiritually-guided intervention on breast health self-care (BHSC) attitudes in ACW residing in southeastern Florida using a concurrent triangulation mixed methods design. One hundred and seventeen women were recruited from three local south Florida Caribbean churches. Inclusion criteria included: (a) self-identification as Afro-Caribbean, (b) female aged 30 years or older, (c) living in the United States for at least 1 year, (d) able to provide informed consent, (e) able to speak and read English at the 8th grade level, and (f) no previous history of breast cancer. / Includes bibliography. / Dissertation (Ph.D.)--Florida Atlantic University, 2015. / FAU Electronic Theses and Dissertations Collection

Predictive modeling for wellnessUnknown Date (has links)
Wellness and healthy life are the most common concerns for an individual to lead a happy life. A web-based approach known as Wellness Scoring is being developed taking into people’s concerns for their health issues. In this approach, four different classifiers are being investigated to predict the wellness. In this thesis, we investigated four different classifiers (a probabilistic graphical model, simple probabilistic classifier, probabilistic statistical classification and an artificial neural network) to predict the wellness outcome. An approach to calculate wellness score is also addressed. All these classifiers are trained on real data, hence giving more accurate results. With this solution, there is a better way of keeping track of an individuals’ health. In this thesis, we present the design and development of such a system and evaluate the performance of the classifiers and design considerations to maximize the end user experience with the application. A user experience model capable of predicting the wellness score for a given set of risk factors is developed. / Includes bibliography. / Thesis (M.S.)--Florida Atlantic University, 2014. / FAU Electronic Theses and Dissertations Collection

Examining the perceived nurses' support for self management among type 2 diabetes mellitus patients in BotswanaKajinga, Rose Kiwala 07 1900 (has links)
Patients’ perceptions of health care and support is a key determinant in self-efficacy and active participation in the management of chronic conditions. Nurses play a significant role in Diabetes Self-Management Education by providing clients with tools, empowerment and knowledge to self-manage their condition.
The purpose of this study was to examine and describe diabetes patients’ perceptions of nurses’ support for self-management in Botswana. The aim was to improve clients’ skills in self-management and to strengthen diabetes health care management. This study was carried out at the Diabetes Clinic of Excellence, in the city of Francistown, the second largest city in Botswana. The study population comprised of Type 2 Diabetes patients registered at the Diabetes Clinic for their follow-up. All were aged 18 years and above. Three hundred and fifty-four (354) patients participated in the study.
The study used a non-experimental, descriptive, quantitative design. Probability sampling method was used to recruit diabetes patients from the selected clinic. Data were were collected using a structured, researcher developed, questionnaire mostly in face-to-face interviews, a few participants completed the questionnaire. The Quantitative data analysis included descriptive and inferential statistics using SPSS (Statistical Package for Social Science Software (version 25). Spearman rho was used to determine statistical correlation between patients’ perceptions and their self-management practices.
The findings showed that generally, patients’ perceptions of professional support was positive regarding most of the constructs measured. However, there were areas that showed less satisfaction with the support such as foot-care, risk control, and ability to identify signs of low and high blood sugar level and carrying of Identification Band (ID). Perceptions of nurses’ motivational behaviour showed varied responses. Patients’ self-care activities were sub-optimal and showed some variations which tended to correspond
with their perceptions of professionals support. The Spearman's correlation results ranged from strong, moderate, and weak positive correlation. A few demographic variables showed some impact on self-care activities. Based on the findings, the study concludes that professional support through DSME and DSMS, self-management and patients’ perceptions of care play a significant role in diabetes management. / Health Studies / M.A. (Nursing Science)
