HIV patients have been challenged to attain the optimal level of adherence to ART owing to a variety of social, psychological, spiritual, and medical reasons.To examine factors associated with adherence among HIV patients taking antiretroviral treatment at five government hospitals in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia.A survey was conducted in ART clinics of five randomly selected hospitals in Addis Ababa from January 21, 2018 to February 25, 2018. Data collected using six standardized scales were entered and analyzed using SPSS version 20. Descriptive statistics was used to summarize socio-demographic information, estimate the prevalence of alcohol use, depression, and adherence to antiretroviral treatment. ANOVA and t tests were used to examine mean differences, and multiple regression was used to identify the contribution of the independent variables on the dependent variables at95% confidence Interval and a statistical significance p< .001. Adult HIV patients consisting of 64% were fully adhered to ART, 52% reported current use of alcohol, and 55.6% reported having some degree of depressive symptoms. Alcohol use (𝛽= -.059), depressive symptoms (𝛽= -.022) and HIV disclosure stigma (𝛽= -.034) were associated with adherence. In conclusion, ART adherence was significantly associated with alcohol use, depressive symptoms and HIV disclosure stigma. Addressing psychosocial factors related to ART adherence would help Adult HIV patients to improve their level of adherence.","PeriodicalId":366070,"journal":{"name":"Indian Journal of Health Studies","volume":"62 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115647883","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 total of 385 single-parent adolescents from Kerala (179 boys and 206 girls, Mean age=15.03, SD = 1.45) were selected using a convenient sampling method. 185 participants (48.1%) were from single-parent families due to the death of one parent, and the other 200 participants (51.9%) were from single-parent families due to divorce or separation. Data were collected using self-reported measures for social competence, resilience, and psychological well-being. Analysis of the data was performed using IBM SPSS and AMOS version 24. The results indicated that social competence and resilience are significantly correlated with the psychological well-being of single-parent adolescents. According to the findings, resilience completely mediates the linkage between SC and PWB. When compared to adolescents who experienced parental divorce or separation, those who lost one parent due to death reported higher levels of social competence, resilience, and psychological well-being. Except for antisocial behavior, one of the dimensions of social competence, adolescents from divorced or separated family backgrounds scored low on all other scales. No gender difference is identified in any of the variables in the present study. Adolescents living with grandparents and those who have siblings significantly differ from others. The findings have clinical as well as educational implications.","PeriodicalId":366070,"journal":{"name":"Indian Journal of Health Studies","volume":"466 ","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"120884017","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}

Cognition related to the disease is a primary step in warranting its manifestation. Hence, this study aims to explore the efficacy of a 30-minute audio-visual hypertension knowledge intervention facilitated by a health psychologist in increasing awareness about hypertension; the retention of information, and its effect on healthy lifestyle practices among children. A sample of 100 children was recruited through purposive sampling and was assessed using the Hypertension Knowledge Test (HKT) and Healthy lifestyle Practice Scale for Children and Adolescents (HELIPSCA). Post assessing the baseline scores for HKT and HELPISCA,the children were re-administered HKT immediately after the first exposure, the second exposure (after two weeks), then after 6 weeks of first exposure, and followed up after an interval of 10 months along with a post-test administration of HELIPSCA. Results were statistically tested using paired t-tests which revealed a significant improvement in hypertension knowledge levels among the children. However, there was no significant change in the self-reported lifestyle practices of the children. This school-based knowledge intervention holds promise as an innovative method to raise school children’s knowledge about hypertension through video-based educational intervention.","PeriodicalId":366070,"journal":{"name":"Indian Journal of Health Studies","volume":"5 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124496345","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}

Due to the COVID-19 pandemic since 2019, the north-eastern people have become the target in other parts of mainland India, thereby facing greater coronavirus racial attacks. The aim of the study was to explore and analyse the various forms of racial attacks and emotions associated with the act of discrimination among the victims of north-east India. The study was conducted on participants from the northeast region of India currently residing in other parts of mainland India. The results of the study highlighted some forms of racial attacks such as calling names with coronavirus, blamed to spread the virus, compelled to leave the apartments and pulling mask by walking away from the north-eastern people. Moreover, six different emotions were identified among the participants such as anger, anxiety, sadness, shock, embarrassment and fear associated with the racial act. Racism can damage our society, the consequence of which may be likely to persist beyond the global pandemic, hence it is important that required measures are taken by the state to curb racism.","PeriodicalId":366070,"journal":{"name":"Indian Journal of Health Studies","volume":"8 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121869679","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}

In adolescents’ period, all kinds of physical changes can happen which affect their physical perception about themselves. They may highly bother about their appearance. Present study aims to find out the relation between objectified body consciousness and social interaction anxiety among adolescents. Current study examined the moderating impact of self confidence in relation between objectified body consciousness and social interaction anxiety. Total 120 students were included in the study which comprised both boys and girls. The age range varied between 13 to 21 years. OBC scale (Objectified Body Consciousness, McKinley and Hyde 1996), Self-confidence inventory (Basavanna,1975), and social interaction anxiety Scale (SIAS) constructed by Mattick and Clarke (1998) were used to collect the responses from the participants. The dimensions of OBC include body shame, surveillance and control belief. Selfconfidence is another variable which is used as moderating variable. Result shows surveillance is negatively and significantly related with self-confidence. Body shame and social interaction anxiety shows positive relation in participants. Surveillance and social interaction anxiety found positively correlated. And self-confidence also shows negative significant association with social interaction anxiety of the participant. Current study reminds the importance of right perception among adolescents. The negative self-evaluation may spoil their life, so developing self-confidence is a vital process in mature social development.","PeriodicalId":366070,"journal":{"name":"Indian Journal of Health Studies","volume":"24 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130341935","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}
