The current research aims to examine the relationship among emotional labor, job burnout, impulsive buying behavior, and self-monitoring, and designates job burnout as mediator and self-monitoring as moderator. The research chose convenience sampling and sent out 400 questionnaires. 387 effective questionnaires were received and used STATA 8.0 to analyze descriptive statistics, reliability analysis, exploratory factor analysis, t-test, one way ANOVA, correlations and multiple regressions, and used LISREL8.8 to analyze confirmatory factor analysis. Verifying the model of this research institute inference with the structural equation model, the result shows the model mixes the degree rightly well. The findings of the study as followed: 1. First-line employees with different characters will lead to variance emotional labor, impulsive buying behavior. 2. There is a relationship between the emotional labor, job burnout and impulsive buying behavior. 3. There is a prediction between the emotional labor, job burnout and impulsive buying behavior. 4. There¡¦s a partial mediating effect for job burnout on the relationship between emotional labor and impulsive buying behavior. 5. Self-monitoring has moderating effects between the emotional labor of surface acting and impulsive buying behavior of compensatory impulsion.

A lot of scholars has researched on the ¡§Person-Organization fit¡¨ for the general concept discussion, but most of P-O fit focus on the goal, value, culture of organization if it can attract some different kinds of persons and affect the choice of selecting job. The study wants to further research on when the P-O fit candidate enters in the company, whether the organizational commitment will interference with self-monitoring and perceived organizational support or not. For High-Tech industry plays most important role of economics grows; therefore, the study is focus on the newcomer of High-Tech industry to research if the self-monitoring and perceived organizational support affects P-O fit on organizational commitment or not and hope it may help companies enhance the competition ability. There are two main purposes of this study; one is to understand the effect of P-O fit on organizational commitment, another is to understand the interference effect with self-monitoring and perceived organizational support on P-O fit and organization commitment. The study is using the 25 items of P-O fit questionnaire which simplified by Ke-Wei Wu(2008), choosing the newcomer of High-Tech industry to be test sample, the total number of issuing questionnaire are 160, the number of retrieve are 138(the retrieve rate is 86.25%), and the number of valid are 132. The study uses the correlation and regression analysis of SPSS to examine, finding out the result of¡G 1.Self-monitoring has negative interference effect with P-O fit on retention commitment; it means the level of self-monitoring will interference the level of P-O fit on retention commitment. 2.Perceived organizational support has no positive interference effect with P-O fit on organizational commitment; it means the level of P-O fit on organizational commitment will not interference with the perceived organizational support.

This study evaluated self-monitoring and feedback procedures with preschool teachers and reactivity that occurred in a preschool classroom due to a supervisors' presence. Preschool teachers' positive interactions following the implementation of a self-monitoring and feedback procedure only slightly increased without the presence of a supervisor. Reactivity was identified with the presence of the supervisor as accurate reporting increased most in the supervisor's presence. Following the identification of reactivity, positive interactions remained at high levels during the reactivity control and maintenance conditions.

This study evaluated the use of video self-evaluation and video feedback procedures to enhance the accuracy of yoga poses. In the self-evaluation intervention participants watched their behaviors via video and scored task analyses for feedback for each pose. In the video feedback intervention, the participants and the researcher together scored the task analyses for the behaviors along with practice during video recordings. The interventions were assessed in a multiple baseline across behaviors design. Results showed that both video self-evaluation increased the accuracy of all poses and video feedback further increased the accuracy on one pose for one participant

Almost half of Americans between 17 and 24 years of age are enrolled in higher education. College is an important life transition period when many young adults establish independence and adopt lasting behavior patterns, especially with regard to diet and physical activity. The first years of college are often associated with weight gain therefore making weight loss and weight gain prevention interventions necessary in this population. Behavioral weight loss programs (BWLP) have shown to be effective in adults, however, to our knowledge, there have been no reports of BWLP focused solely on college-aged young adults. This study compared a 10-week online behavioral weight loss program to a 10-week face-to-face program on the main outcomes of weight loss, change in body fat percentage, and change in physical activity among college students. Correlates of weight loss including self-monitoring, social support, attendance, selfefficacy, and motivation were also examined. Results showed motivation decreased over time, motivation was positively correlated with weight loss, and self- efficacy increased over time.

This thesis aimed to explore whether self-management techniques, effective in essential hypertension, could be applied to women with hypertensive disorders of pregnancy postpartum (HDP). HDP affect one in ten pregnancies, remain a leading cause of maternal death worldwide and are associated with elevated long-term maternal cardiovascular risk. Hypertension often persists postpartum and complications can occur. During the puerperium, multiple stresses on new mothers and their healthcare professionals can distract from good quality blood pressure (BP) management. Transfer of responsibility, from secondary to primary care, increases scope for uncertainty. The primary objective was to develop and test the feasibility of a novel self-management intervention for postnatal antihypertensive treatment. A systematic literature review (39 studies), local audit (n=20) and regional survey (n=101) were conducted to evaluate existing evidence and clinical practice. A pilot randomised controlled trial compared self-management of postnatal antihypertensive medication with usual care (n=91). Taking patients' views of self-management into account is essential to successful implementation and these were captured through qualitative interviews (n=68). A sub-study to assess markers of vascular risk (n=16) was conducted to further evaluate the relationship between postnatal BP and elevated long-term cardiovascular risk. There is a lack of good quality evidence underpinning hypertension management postpartum and widespread inconsistencies in approaches to care. The pilot trial suggested that expanding the study would be feasible, and that self-management may be more effective than usual care in terms of BP control. Strikingly, the 4-5mmHg reduction in diastolic BP observed with self-management persisted to six months, despite the majority of women being off treatment by this stage, reinforcing the idea that BP control during the puerperium may influence cardiovascular remodelling. However, no differences were demonstrated in markers of cardiovascular risk between sub-study groups. Participants commonly preferred self-management to usual care, and reported feeling more in control through this approach.

Resumo: Avaliar consiste em um julgamento de valor acerca de uma intervenção, programa ou serviço, com objetivo de tomada de decisões (17) e atualmente processos de avaliação têm sido amplamente estimulados pelos gestores, para favorecimento de planejamentos em saúde. Este estudo teve como objetivo avaliar o Programa de Dispensação de Glicosímetros e Insumos para Automonitorização da Glicemia Capilar (AMGC), implantado em 2006 no município de Botucatu. O processo de implantação em Botucatu ocorreu sem planejamento e coordenação centralizados, e até o momento nenhuma avaliação do Programa foi realizada. O presente estudo tem como finalidade preencher esta lacuna, avaliando como ocorreu e vem ocorrendo o Programa no município. Estudou-se amostra representativa (n=288) dos usuários inscritos e 96 profissionais de saúde que atuavam no Programa desde sua implantação. Tomando como referencial teórico metodológico a tríade proposta por Donabediam - avaliação dos componentes Estrutura, Processo e Resultado - foram coletados dados sobre a capacitação prévia de usuários e profissionais, regularidade da disponibilidade dos insumos; seguimentos clínicos e laboratoriais normatizados, capacidade de autonomia para autocuidado do usuário e satisfação com o Programa, sendo apartir destes construídos os indicadores de qualidade. Foram detectadas falhas importantes na capacitação dos profissionais e usuários, os primeiros desconheciam parâmetros oficiais de controle glicêmicos e critérios para inserção do usuário no Programa, os segundos, relataram falta de orientações quanto a utilização do aparelho e valores de normalidade. Os indicadores de processo foram muito insatisfatórios: apenas 2,5% profissionais relataram verificar os controles glicêmicos domiciliares nas consultas, solicitar todos os exames laboratoriais, orientar plano alimentar, atividade física e ...

At present, evaluation processes have been largely encouraged by managers in favor of health care planning. This study aimed at evaluating the Program for Delivery of Glucometers and Materials for Capillary Glycemia Self-monitoring (Programa de Dispensação de Glicosímetros e Insumos para Automonitorização da Glicemia Capilar - AMGC) for individuals with diabetes mellitus using insulin, which was implemented in the city of Botucatu in 2006. A representative sample (n=288) of registered users and 96 health care professionals working for the program since its implementation were studied. Based on the triad proposed by Donabediam - evaluation of the following components: Structure, Process and Result - as a theoretical and methodological framework, data were collected concerning the previous training of users and professionals and the regularity of material availability; performance and adequacy of the actions developed in relation to technical recommendations; users' capacity of self-monitoring and the effects of the program in the view of users and professionals. From this information, the quality indicators adopted were designed. Important failures were detected in professionals' and users' training: the former were not knowledgeable about official parameters for glycemia control or about the criteria for registering users in the program; the latter reported lack of orientation concerning the use of the device and normality values. Process indicators were also very unsatisfactory: only 2.5% of the professionals reported to check on home glycemic control during consultations, to order all laboratory tests, to provide guidance for a dietary plan, physical education and smoking cessation, as recommended by the program; only 15.3% of users reported to take ...
