Abstract: oncommunicable diseases pose a significant threat to women’s health globally, with most diseases being attributed to modifiable risk factors such as physical inactivity. Women perceive a range of benefits and barriers to exercise however, there is little evidence about the effect of different lifestyle intervention delivery modes on perceptions of exercise. his study aimed to compare the effect of a multiple health behavior change (MHBC) intervention called the Women’s Wellness Program. This intervention was delivered in 3 different modes on perceived exercise benefits, perceived exercise barriers, and actual physical activity and exercise in midlife women. omen aged 45 to 65 years were recruited via the study website. They were assigned in blocks to 3 different treatment groups (A: Web-based independent B: face-to-face with nurse consultations and C: Web-based with virtual nurse consultations). All participants received the 12-week intervention that utilizes principles from social-cognitive theory to provide a structured guide to promote healthy lifestyle behaviors with an emphasis on regular exercise and healthy eating. Data were collected using a self-report Web-based questionnaire at baseline (T1) and postintervention (T2) including perceived exercise benefits and barriers and exercise and physical activity. A data analysis examined both within- and between-group changes over time. articipants in this study (N=225) had a mean age of 50.9 years (SD 5.9) and most were married or living with a partner (83.3%, 185/225). Attrition was 30.2% with 157 participants completing the final questionnaire. Women in all intervention groups reported a significant increase in positive perceptions of exercise (P .05) a significant increase in exercise and overall physical activity (P .01) with moderate-to-large effect sizes noted for overall physical activity (d=0.5 to d=0.87). Participants receiving support from registered nurses in the face-to-face and Web-based groups had a greater magnitude of change in benefit perceptions and physical activity than those in the Web-based independent group. There was no significant change in exercise barrier perceptions within or between groups over time. he results of this study suggest that the (MHBC) intervention is effective in increasing exercise benefit perceptions, overall physical activity, and exercise in midlife women. Although Web-based programs are cost-effective and flexible and can be delivered remotely, providing a range of options including face-to-face group delivery and personalized electronic health coaching from registered nurses has the potential to enhance participant engagement and motivation.

Abstract: Kinerja pegawai Rumah Sakit Umum Daerah (RSUD) Mukomuko dari aspek kedisiplinan masih rendah yaitu 80% pegawai terlambat dan 35% pegawai meninggalkan ruangan pada jam kerja, serta masih banyak pegawai yang pindah dari RSUD Mukomuko. Hal ini menunjukkan bahwa masih lemahnya budaya organisasi di RSUD Mukomuko. Banyak faktor yang dapat mempengaruhi kinerja pegawai, diantaranya budaya organisasi. Tujuan penelitian ini adalah menentukan hubungan budaya organisasi terhadap kinerja pegawai. Penelitian ini menggunakan metode analitik kuantitatif dengan disain cross sectional study. Populasi penelitian adalah seluruh pegawai, dengan teknik pengambilan s el simple random s ling, sehingga didapatkan 90 orang. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa sebagian besar pegawai berkinerja cukup (75,6%) dan menyatakan budaya organisasi lemah (71,1%). Dari empat dimensi budaya organisasi yaitu keterlibatan, penyesuaian, konsistensi dan misi, ditemukan bahwa sebagian besar pegawai menilai lemah pada dimensi keterlibatan (80%), konsistensi (68,9%) dan misi (63,3%). Hasil analisis menunjukkan bahwa terdapat hubungan budaya organisasi dengan kinerja pegawai RSUD Mukomuko (p=0,001). Penelitian ini menyarankan agar pihak manajemen dapat mengembangkan budaya organisasi keterlibatan, konsistensi dan misi dengan melibatkan pegawai dalam perencanaan, menetapkan target kinerja pegawai pada awal tahun dan mengevaluasinya secara berkala, serta resosialisasi misi dan tujuan rumah sakit.

Abstract: This paper examines the direct and intermediary relationships between life stress, stress appraisal, and resilience, and increased anxiety and depressive symptoms in Australian women after cancer treatment. Data examined from 278 women aged 18 years and older previously treated for breast, gynaecological, or blood cancer, participating in the Australian Women's Wellness after Cancer Program. Serial mediation models interrogated the effect of stressful life events (List of Threatening Experiences-Modified) mediated by appraisal and coping (Perceived Stress Scale and Connor-Davidson Resilience Scale), on symptoms of anxiety and depression (Zung Self-rating Anxiety Scale and Center for Epidemiologic Studies Depression Scale). Over one-quarter (30.2%) of participants reported 1 or more stressful life events, other than their cancer, in the previous 6 months. Results indicate that perceived stress fully mediated the relationships between life stress, anxiety (indirect effect = 0.09, Bias-corrected bootstrap 95% CI 0.02-0.18, Percent mediation = 0.51), and depressive symptoms (indirect effect = 0.11, Bias-corrected bootstrap 95% CI 0.02-0.23, Percent mediation = 0.71) and accounted for more than half of the relationship between predictor and outcome. Findings indicate that stress appraisal mediated the relationship between past life stressors and anxiety and depressive symptoms. This analysis also highlights the need to consider wellness within a broader care context to identify potentially vulnerable patients to possibly avert future health concerns.
