The early acceptance or failure of these deployments will depend on first users’ knowledge and attitudes about it. Public health educators are on the forefront of environmental and global health research and policy and, as such, their involvement in development and implementation are critical to the public’s acceptance of this technology. This correlation study used two adapted instruments - one on knowledge of technology and one on attitudes - and captured demographic information on 155 public health faculty. The authors found that Public Health university educators were not very knowledgeable about sensor systems in general (76% with little to no knowledge); their highest level of knowledge was on benefits and uses of global sensor networks (22% had some or more knowledge), and lowest was on plans to deploy them. The sample had moderately positive attitudes (range 1-7) about the idea of global sensor deployment (M = 4.57, N = 155) and a slight positive correlation between knowledge and attitudes on global sensor networks.","PeriodicalId":89884,"journal":{"name":"American journal of health sciences","volume":"1 1","pages":"45-52"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2014-05-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"91261735","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}

Organizations need to comply with a new macro-regulatory environment and establish institutionally based strategies that meet mandated standards and processes. The Act represents a shift from employer-sponsored insurance plans to a system where, depending upon subjective evaluations of what is on offer, consumers can shop around and purchase insurance plans listed in a federal or state marketplace. This means that healthcare providers are under intense political and public scrutiny. The new competitive environment may accelerate the shift from care-focused to efficiency-focused management initiatives within the healthcare industry and is viewed by some as an opportunity for contextual ambidexterity and conflict to emerge. In addition to establishing com pliance programs to manage employees’ ethical conduct in an effort to meet the narrow and deterministic demands of governmental pressure, organizations may also introduce ethical programs that reflect organizational commitment, individual integrity, and the willingness to admit mistakes and be creative in problem-solving exercises.","PeriodicalId":89884,"journal":{"name":"American journal of health sciences","volume":"29 1","pages":"5-14"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2014-05-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"90660842","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 addition, to identify any factor(s) considered strong predictor(s) of academic achievement. A descriptive cross-sectional design was used in this study. A cluster random sample of 453 primary school children was obtained from both genders. Smoking was measured by the self-reported smoking behavior questionnaire and the educational achievement was measured by “Jordan Certificate of Primary Education.” The results indicate that there is a significant correlation between smoking status rpb ((451) = -.44, p < .001), age of smoking initiation r ((451) = -.30, p < .001), daily cigarettes r ((451) = -.12, p < .01), and smoked 100 cigarettes in lifetime rpb ((451) = -.28, p < .01) with academic achievement. In multiple hierarchical regression analysis, Model 1 explained 12% of variance with academic achievement. By adding the smoking characteristics Model 2 explained 28% of the variance with academic achievement. The conclusion is that there is a correlation between smoking and academic achievement.","PeriodicalId":89884,"journal":{"name":"American journal of health sciences","volume":"89 1","pages":"37-44"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2014-05-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"82047894","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}

However, many studies on the impact of including calorie labeling on restaurant menus and menu boards have relied on questionable methodologies, yielding inconsistent results and leaving unanswered the question of whether calorie information on menus indeed impacts food selection. In an effort to provide more definitive data, the present study employed a controlled posttest-only experimental design with random assignment. Students assigned to the control group ordered a meal from a typical fast-food menu board that did not display any calorie information, while students assigned to the experimental treatment group ordered from an identical menu board, with the exception that calorie information was displayed for each item. The results demonstrated that the display of calorie information did not cause members of the experimental treatment group to order items bearing significantly fewer calories than those ordered by the control group. Thus, contrary to the results of many previous studies, the present study strongly indicated that the presence of calorie labeling does not have a significant impact on consumer choices in fast-food restaurants. While studies have shown that consumers are strongly in favor of the inclusion of calorie information on menus, this study provides evidence that some further or alternative intervention is needed before such calorie information can translate into healthier food choice behavior.","PeriodicalId":89884,"journal":{"name":"American journal of health sciences","volume":"45 1","pages":"29-36"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2014-05-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"76417366","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}

This article presents the results from a qualitative study exploring health professionals’ perceptions of TCAB and the effect on turnover and overtime. This descriptive, qualitative study utilized focus groups, individual interviews, and a review of administrative documents for data collection. Participants included hospital workers from five units implementing TCAB. The data generated by the interviews and focus groups were analyzed using NVivo with the method proposed by Miles and Huberman (1994). During the first year of implementation of TCAB, the team noted the importance of taking time to see the effects of the changes and thereby facilitate the involvement of other team members. A number of TCAB team members also cited communication as a facilitating element for informing team members of changes. According to the participants, the TCAB strategies that were implemented have had a positive impact on practice and on the work environment, and turnover showed an improvement. There was no change in absenteeism. TCAB has the potential to impact not only nurses’ work, but interprofessional team work as well, through changes that involve everyone. Future research should focus on how to support team members to reduce resistance to change and increase social support in order to implement and sustain changes.","PeriodicalId":89884,"journal":{"name":"American journal of health sciences","volume":"54 1","pages":"157-168"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2014-01-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"80679445","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}
