This study aimed to study the association between a sense of control and mortality and to identify the effect of changes in this sense of control on mortality risk. This prospective cohort study included 22,793 participants over age 50 and their spouses, drawn from a nationally representative U.S. sample from 2006 to 2018. Cox proportional hazard regression analyses estimated the association between sense of control and all-cause mortality. Kaplan-Meier survival curves were compared using the log-rank test, and changes in sense of control levels associated with mortality risk were evaluated using the Cox proportional hazards model. Over the 12-year follow-up period, 5027 deaths were recorded. An increased sense of control was significantly associated with decreased mortality risk, as revealed by stratified analysis according to sex and age. Hazard ratios (HRs) for the second, third, and fourth quartiles of sense of control levels were 0.91 (95% CI, 0.84-0.98), 0.83 (95% CI, 0.77-0.92), and 0.79 (95% CI, 0.72-0.87), respectively, relative to the first quartile. Compared to individuals with stable sense of control scores from baseline to study conclusion, the HR was 0.58 (95% CI, 0.48-0.70) for those with increased scores and 1.81 (95% CI, 1.53-2.13) for those with decreased scores.

This review examines existing research articles on radon exposure conducted in African countries, focusing on the efforts made by specific nations, such as Tunisia and Sudan, to address this issue.

The findings reveal that the study of radon exposure in Africa is still in its early stages, with limited progress and modest initiatives compared to other regions.

Linear regression analysis with tested independent variables consisting of demographic, professional, health facility, and patient contact data. Confirmatory five-factor analyses of PTGI and PTGI-SF results were performed to validate their associated factors. Unidimensional reliability of the PTGI and PTGI-SF results was calculated.</p><p><strong>Results: </strong>The final regression model included sex and whether the internet was the source of health-related knowledge (<i>F</i> <sub>2102</sub> = 11.979, <i>p</i> < 0.0001). The confirmatory factor analysis of the PTGI confirmed its five-factor structure (χ<sup>2</sup> <sub>189</sub> = 1233.642, <i>p</i> < 0.0001), root mean square error of approximation (RMSEA = 0.229, <i>p</i> < 0.0001), and internal consistency (Cronbach <i>α</i> = 0.971). Similarly for the PTGI-SF (χ<sup>2</sup> <sub>35</sub> = 535.965, <i>p</i> < 0.0001; RMSEA = 0.369, <i>p</i> < 0.0001; Cronbach <i>α</i> = 0.935).</p><p><strong>Conclusion: </strong>Being female and not using the internet as the principal source of information about diseases were each associated with increased post-traumatic growth. The internal consistencies of both the PTGI and the PTGI-SF were confirmed, as were the robustness of the five-factor structure of each instrument.</p>","PeriodicalId":45684,"journal":{"name":"AIMS Public Health","volume":"12 1","pages":"202-216"},"PeriodicalIF":3.1,"publicationDate":"2025-02-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC11999810/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144024141","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
