Beliefs Behaviours and Concerns of Adolescents about Food and Weight
ISBN: 9783838321387 / Angielski / Miękka / 296 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. This work examines the food, nutrition, weight and shape related beliefs, behaviours and concerns of adolescents living in north Queensland, Australia and determines how they vary across school years. It examines their sources of information about these issues, and their exercise levels and how these vary with school year. It also identifies predictors of weight loss behaviour and explores how students who try to lose weight differ from those who do not in relation to body image, food intake, knowledge about food, and sources of information about food, nutrition and weight loss. The work also...

An Intervention programme has been designed to facilitate patient in understanding and improving their health condition and quality of life. But, why some patients who have undergone an intervention do well while others do not still remain a question to the health practitioners. The limited amount of literature on the factors contributing to these discrepancies has triggered me to explore the determinants of successful control of hypertension among those attending the intervention programme in Malaysia. Thus, this monograph, elaborates the discrepencies and determinants of successful control...

Strain and Weight Change
ISBN: 9783838353364 / Angielski / Miękka / 260 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. This research takes a new look at why people in the United States change their body weight. The author proposes that the reason for the inability of many individuals to lose weight and keep the weight off (both initially and after weight loss) is strain, and that success with weight control is related to social variables. What researchers have previously learned about strain and weight change is presented. Then, the "Aging, Status, and Sense of Control" (ASOC) data set that was collected in 1995, 1998, and 2001 is used to examine the relationships between five forms of chronic strain...

Turbulence in the Management of Health Services
ISBN: 9783838336497 / Angielski / Miękka / 320 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Using a longitudinal, critical ethnographic approach this book explored how a change process was managed over a five-year period at a large Australian hospital. It aimed to explain how power dynamics that operate in the health system actively generate systemic inertia making organisational change difficult and complex. The book questions the efficacy of the rise of the new public management agenda and clinical management as valorised practice among clinicians.The most important contributions of this book are findings that reveal how new public management infiltrated political, professional...

Psychosocial Correlates in Dietary and Physical Activity Behaviours
ISBN: 9783843383295 / Angielski / Miękka / 272 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Despite efforts to promote healthy diet or adequate physical activity among Type II diabetics in most clinics in Kenya the incidence, progression and severity still persit, possibly because of non- mental related patient input approaches used. Motivation theories have been developed for health educators attending to Type II diabetics to aid in promoting healthy dietary and physical activity practices, however, this approach has not been welcome in most diabetic clinics. There was a crucial need to empirically develop a Mental Health Tailored Communicaion Model that could be used to ...

Predicting Performance
ISBN: 9783843387224 / Angielski / Miękka / 216 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Contextualised within the Medical selection debate, this innovative research critically evaluates current approaches to medical selection. While current selection methods have been moderately effective in predicting academic performance in medical students, there is a paucity of substantiated factors predicting clinical success and satisfaction. There is also a gap in applying motivation research to the prediction of medical student outcomes. The organisational literature reveals that work motivation styles are predictive of performance, job satisfaction and role longevity, but they have not...

Clinical Workflow and Health Care Information Technology
ISBN: 9783843377034 / Angielski / Miękka / 216 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. One of main ideas that motivate the implementation of health care information technology (HIT) is that these systems support clinical workflow and thereby decrease medical errors. However, many argue that the model of clinical processes upon which these systems are based shows a fragile compatibility with the contingent and pragmatic workflow of care providers. But, why is that so? And what are the attributes of clinical workflow that challenge this model? This book aims to gain insight into these attributes and their interplay with HIT systems in practice. To do so, we draw upon a...

ISBN: 9783838325224 / Angielski / Miękka / 244 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Stigma associated with mental illness continues to be a significant barrier to help seeking. This book examines the impact of stigma on racial differences in treatment seeking attitudes and behaviors among older adults with depression. Findings indicate that older adults with depression have high levels of public stigma and do not intend to seek, nor are they currently engaged in mental health treatment. Findings also suggest that African American older adults endorse higher internalized stigma and less positive attitudes toward seeking mental health treatment than their white...

An epidemiological study of adolescents hypertension in Kolkata, India
ISBN: 9783838338323 / Angielski / Miękka / 204 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Hypertension is an "ice berg" disease with high morbidity and mortality and is a silent threat to the health of people all over the world. The roots of hypertension grow in childhood. It is thus of importance to identify children and adolescents at risk of getting hypertension, so that interventions for primary prevention could be suggested and furthermore, prevention of emergence of risk factors, i.e., steps necessary for primordial prevention could be formulated. The detection of high blood pressure during childhood is of potential value in identifying those children who are at increased...
