The purpose of this study was to investigate the impact of Teacher Bullying (TB) and Peer Bullying (PB) on student’s Behavioral Engagement (BE) and to make out the comparison between the public and private university students in Islamabad, Pakistan. A quantitative approach and convenient sampling has been used in this study. Questionnaire was distributed among the 400 University students. With the help of SPSS, linear regression analysis and independent two sample t-tests have been used and results indicated that TB and PB significantly affect the students’ BE. In addition, there was a significant mean difference between Public and Private University students and the impact was high in Public universities as compared to Private. Hence the findings included that due to bullying students did not participate in the class and did not follow the teachers’ instruction. The originality of the study is that it focused on the behavioral aspect regarding bullying that was not very much investigated among the University students in Pakistan because the previous studies were focused on the moral and psychological effects among the schools and colleges students. This study is limited regarding the two dimensions of the behavioral engagement. Implications regarding the bullying influence on behavioral engagement have been discussed. Further research can be possible by including the other dimensions of behavioral engagement, giving the preventive measure and by increasing the sample size of the study.","PeriodicalId":91744,"journal":{"name":"Journal of health education research & development","volume":"6 1","pages":"1-8"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.4172/2380-5439.1000261","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"70313983","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}

Therefore, this research was conducted with the aim of determining the views of experts on the dimensions of participation of people in controlling coronary artery diseases. Methods: This research was conducted with qualitative approach and content analysis method. 17 interviews with specialist’s experts and managers in the field of community participation in the cardiology section of the Ministry of Health and Medical Education, NGOs and charitable organizations through a targeted sampling method in 2018. Data were collected using semi-structured interviews and then analyzed by content analysis method. Results: In this study, five main themes were drawn from participant experiences that included \"policy\", \"planning,\" \"organizing,\" \"coordination,\" and \"financing\". Conclusions: Countering the epidemic of non-communicable diseases and their risk factors requires extensive, effective and active interventions for all relevant organizations and ministries within and outside the health sector. Comprehensive community-based programs are an important part of the strategy for solving this global dilemma. Therefore, identifying risk factors, policy-making on how to deal with and eventually decrease their increasing trend can have a significant effect on the reduction of coronary artery disease.","PeriodicalId":91744,"journal":{"name":"Journal of health education research & development","volume":"6 1","pages":"1-6"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.4172/2380-5439.1000264","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"70313565","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}

The gradual shift in disease patterns characteristic of different stages of epidemiological transition are by no means simple, as projected from the Age of (i) Pestilence and famine, (ii) Preceding Pandemics, (iii) Degenerative and Man-Made Diseases, and (iv) Delayed Degenerative Diseases. However, the foresight of the latest transition in this 21st Century is now emerged, in which environmental and climate mediated health risks have increasingly become a priority for the health implications with actual and potential catastrophic and highly complex dynamics of direct and indirect effects on widely diverse health impacts. In this regards, the establishment of ecological public health is crucial to modern public health. This paper proposed a newly emerging role for healthcare professionals to integrate ecological public health education as holistic vision and action agenda towards sustainable ways of living for sustainable health development. The role of Universities in curriculum development by integrating and transforming these epistemology competencies through health education agenda, as capacity building in support of sustainable health development is entirely indispensable.","PeriodicalId":91744,"journal":{"name":"Journal of health education research & development","volume":"06 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.4172/2380-5439.1000270","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"70313732","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}

The country has made significant strides with national health surveys; however there is a dearth of evidence documenting the risk factors associated with adolescent pregnancy among specific groups. Objectives: This study aims to document: knowledge, current contraceptive use and sexual practices among first-year medical students attending the largest public university in Latin America. We also measured the prevalence of unintended pregnancy and substance abuse and correlated these variables. Methods: A convenience sample of 1,388 medical students (17-19 years) responded a survey on risk factors for unintended pregnancy. We carried out a survey’s internal reliability analysis. Multivariate analysis identified variables associated with unsafe sex practices and unintended pregnancy. Results: From the 1,388 students, 26.3% were men, 365/1,388 reported current sexual activity (in the last 3 months). Of 365, 100% had heard of condoms, 71% about oral contraceptives and 76.4% considered emergency contraception an abortifacient. During their first sexual encounter, 88.2% used condoms, 3.6% used emergency contraception, 1.9% coitus interrupts, 5.8% did not use any method, 0.5% “other”. 17/230 women (7.4%) became pregnant after starting their sexual life at 15 years (SD: 1.3, 3.3 mean partners, SD: 1.7). 13/17 had an abortion without specifying type and method used. Multivariate analyses showed that being sexually active, reporting current substance abuse increased the odds of unsafe sex practices and unintended pregnancy. Conclusion: Our findings are consistent with the association of unsafe sex practices, inconsistent method use and unintended pregnancy. Our unintended pregnancy prevalence of 7.4% was lower than the national prevalence. First year medical students are primed to obtain evidence based contraceptive knowledge, correlates of unintended pregnancy, unsafe sex practices and substance abuse prevention.","PeriodicalId":91744,"journal":{"name":"Journal of health education research & development","volume":"06 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.4172/2380-5439.1000273","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"70313820","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}
