The purpose of this study was to measure the levels of personal accomplishment, their correlation with the levels of social support and psychological disorders, and whether social support and psychological disorders can act as factors of personal accomplishment among professionals working in community mental health settings. Methods: In this cross-sectional study conducted in 2018, 80 professionals working in community mental health settings from the Association for Regional Development and Mental Health completed three scales: the Multidimensional Scale of Perceived Social Support, the General Health Questionnaire-28 (GHQ-28), and the subscale “Personal Accomplishment” of the scale Maslach Burnout Inventory to measure social support, psychological disorders, and personal accomplishment, respectively. The technique of convenience sampling was applied. The statistical analysis was performed via the IBM statistical package for the social sciences version 22.0. The statistical significance level was set up at 0.05. Results: The levels of personal accomplishment were low (Mean: 9.85, Standard Deviation: 5.9). No statistically significant effect of social support and psychological disorders on personal accomplishment was revealed among professionals working in community mental health settings. However, a statistically significant effect of “Social Dysfunction” (F = 4.564, p = 0.036)—as a dimension of psychological disorders—on personal accomplishment was found. Also, low correlations between Personal Accomplishment and the dimensions of GHQ-28 “Social Dysfunction” (r = 0.235, p = 0.018) and “Severe Depression” (r = 0.202, p = 0.036) were observed. Conclusions: Personal accomplishment does not seem to be influenced by social support or psychological disorders. However, social dysfunction seems to have a significant impact on personal accomplishment. Therefore, further research should be conducted in order to investigate potential buffering coping mechanisms of personal accomplishment, and in turn, burnout among mental health professionals.","PeriodicalId":90204,"journal":{"name":"Journal of behavioral health","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-03-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"43850455","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}

To adopt these changes, women become vulnerable to different psychiatric disorders, particularly depression and anxiety. The prevalence of psychiatric disorders among pregnant women is ranged from 10% to 32% that has a negative impact on general health of women as well as development of children. This study was aimed to find out the prevalence of possible psychiatric disorders among pregnant women and to delineate its relationship with socio-demographic variables, physical health, and pregnancy-related factors. Methods: This cross-sectional, descriptive, quantitative, one-staged survey-type study was conducted from January to March 2018. Through consecutive sampling, confirmed pregnant women attending antenatal care in rural area aged between 18 and above were supplied a structured questionnaire containing sociodemographic and related variables and Self-Reporting Questionnaire (SRQ)-20 for screening psychopathology of the cases. Subjects were divided into screen-positive and screen-negative cases, and a comparison was made. Results: The mean age of the cases was 24.76 ± 5.2 years. Using SRQ-20 cutoff, the prevalence of possible psychiatric disorders among the respondents was 27.5% and that was found to be 20.19%, 24.07%, and 23.28% in first, second, and third trimesters, respectively. Anxiety and depressive symptom category were significantly higher followed by somatic symptom and reduced vital energy categories among screen-positive cases than screen-negative cases. A good number of pregnancy-related variables both the social and physical were found to be significantly associated with possible psychiatric disorders. Conclusions: This study explores and supports the wide magnitude of the possibility of mental health disorders during pregnancy, predominantly depression and anxiety. There should have a provision of the routine screening of psychopathology for all pregnant women with the aim toward early identification and treatment.","PeriodicalId":90204,"journal":{"name":"Journal of behavioral health","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-03-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"43309135","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 study analyzed the effect of behavioral factors on life expectancy at birth, as one of the health status indicator, specific to Japan. Methods: Ordinary least squares (OLS) regression was utilized to identify the effect of alcohol and cigarette consumption, and obesity on the life expectancy at birth. Results: According to the analysis, alcohol and cigarette consumption, and obesity negatively affect the life expectancy at birth. A one-unit increase in the rate of alcohol, smoking and obesity decreases the life expectancy at birth by 0.043, 0.038, 0.054 years, respectively. Conclusions: Although the related behavioral risk factors are individual choices; it is recommended that governments should take a number of measures against such risk factors, since the protection and development of social health are considered as main duties of governments.","PeriodicalId":90204,"journal":{"name":"Journal of behavioral health","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"70809999","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 the present study, ‘the invalid skewed response’ is defined as when majority of respondents consistently rate only at one side which will eventually change the real or valid pattern of overall responses. Methods: A validation approach was conducted using a secondary data from a questionnaire validation study of an eight Likert scale, that has a very stable and strong factor solution. Eight sub samples were retrieved from the data to represent multiple sets of analyses with sample size based on rule of thumbs from 3:1 until 10:1. From each sub sample, proportion of dummy response for the extreme left (scale of 0), the middle scale (scale of 4) and the extreme right (scale of 7) were assigned randomly at 10%, 20% and 30% respectively. Results: The invalid consistent responses of a middle scale have very low impact towards the factor solution. The occurrence of the invalid skewed responses affected the factor solution. Majority of the factor solutions were still valid based on consistent responses with 10.0% only. However, the construct that was based on forcing into 4-factor solution had helped to produce the valid factor solution though some resulted in cross-loadings. All Cronbach’s alphas and minimum corrected item to total correlation were relatively strong for all factor solutions although some of the solutions were invalid. Conclusions: The skewed responses have the potential to change the ideal factor solution. Therefore, necessary steps need to be taken to avoid invalid skewed responses especially in self-administered survey. Therefore, the recommended sample size guideline for EFA with justifications is proposed.","PeriodicalId":90204,"journal":{"name":"Journal of behavioral health","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"70810038","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}

Subsequently, participants completed a source episodic memory task. The experimental group recalled more words than the control group (M = 6.35, SD = 2.99 and M = 5.30, SD = 2.83, respectively; P=0.26, d=0.36). However, there were no differences in performance on the source memory recognition task (discrimination index, -0.20 vs. 1.50, t=0.64, P=0.52, d=0.20). Our results provide some evidence of non-statistically small magnitude of an exercise-induced enhancement effect on episodic memory, but our findings did not suggest a beneficial source memory effect from acute exercise.","PeriodicalId":90204,"journal":{"name":"Journal of behavioral health","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"70810056","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}
