This study investigated if extraversion negatively predicted social distancing behaviors and mask usage in a sample of participants from North America. Additionally, based on research on sex differences and engaging in health risk behaviors, it was hypothesized that the relationships between extraversion, social distancing, and mask usage would be moderated by biological sex, such that the relationships would be stronger for men than women. Results showed that extraversion was negatively related to mask usage and social distancing guidelines for men and that no relationship between extraversion and complying with these guidelines occurred for women.","PeriodicalId":314729,"journal":{"name":"Research in Psychology and Behavioral Sciences","volume":"110 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-12-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124252180","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

{"title":"Compassionate Care Delivery: Elderlies’ Perception","authors":"Eman Moustafa Ibrahim, Aziza Mahmod, Abeer Elmaghwry, H. Hassan","doi":"10.12691/rpbs-9-1-4","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.12691/rpbs-9-1-4","url":null,"abstract":"Background: Compassion may have a direct effect on the quality of care provided to patients so that they normally evaluate the quality of services based on the compassion demonstrated by the nurse providing compassionate nursing care can lead to higher satisfaction in patients, safer care, saving time and cost, a sense of satisfaction and effectiveness in the personnel, higher confidence, and coping skills in them. Aim: measure elderly patients’ perception of compassionate care in Beni-Suef city. Design: A descriptive cross-sectional design. Setting: This research was conducted at Beni-Suef University Hospital, General Hospital, as well as Continuing/Long-term care and Home Health Care (HHC) services. Sample: All elderly (140) patients receiving care at the mentioned setting. Tools: Two tools have been used to gather data; 1) Structured questionnaire interview sheet; 2) Opinions about compassionate care: This section consisted of 20 statements on a 4-point Likert type scale ranging from “extremely important” to “not important.” They were categorized into 4 dimensions. Results: The mean age of the study sample was 66.3±9.6 years, 60.0% were from medicine departments, and diabetes was the most common admission diagnosis among the patients in the study sample. The median duration of illness was 8.5 years. A statistically significant relationship between patients’ opinions of compassionate care and their education (p=0.002). A statistically significant relationship with the history of previous surgery (p=0.002). The opinions of compassionate care were higher among those with previous surgery. Conclusion: the patients in the study settings tend to have high perceptions and opinions regarding compassionate care, and this is influenced by their age, education, income, as well as the duration of their illness, and the length of hospital stay. Recommendations: Elderly patients’ opinions about the nursing care provided to them and how far their expectations are achieved regarding compassionate care should be regularly surveyed, with proper action according to the results. Further research is suggested to evaluate the long-term effect of in-service training programs on nurses’ practice of compassionate care and their related self-confidence.","PeriodicalId":314729,"journal":{"name":"Research in Psychology and Behavioral Sciences","volume":"85 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-09-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116700912","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

A non-probability snowball sample (N = 594) of general public took part in the study via social media. Data were collected at two occasions for one week for each occasion between 30 August 2020 and 26 September 2020. Self-report measures of demographic information and the PMT constructs were obtained at the initial occasion. Two weeks later, self-report measures of COVID-19 preventive behaviours were collected. Structural equation modelling was used for data analysis. The results provided support of the relevance and predictive ability of the PMT. The pattern of effects among the constructs was consistent with the PMT. All of the PMT constructs, with the exception of perceived vulnerability, were found to explain preventive behaviours against COVID-19. Self-efficacy was the strongest variable in predicting the preventive behaviours from COVID-19. Based on these results, public health campaigns that are tailored toward the severity of COVID-19 may be more effective in increasing individuals’ motivation for adopting COVID-19 preventive behaviours than those that focus on increasing perceptions of individuals’ vulnerability to COVID-19. Health education interventions should consider strategies to increase an individual’s perceived self-efficacy of protective behaviours against COVID-19 such as providing opportunities to direct experience with behaviour through demonstration, modelling, and positive feedback.","PeriodicalId":314729,"journal":{"name":"Research in Psychology and Behavioral Sciences","volume":"15 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-08-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123001952","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
