PURPOSE: The purpose of this study was to identify the relationship of stress, perception of occurrence risk of cancer and cancer preventive health behavior in three-shift nurses. METHODS: The participants of this study were 252 three shifts nurses working at three medium and small sized hospitals with 100 to 300 beds. Data were collected through a structured questionnaire from September to October 2014. RESULTS: The mean score for stress was 24.35+/-7.93. The mean score of perception for occurrence risk of cancer was 12.63+/-4.12 and cancer preventive health behavior was 58.07+/-8.87. Stress had a positive relationship with the perception of occurrence risk of cancer (r=.40, p<.001); the perception of occurrence risk of cancer had a positive relationship with the preventive health behavior against it (r=.31, p<.001); and stress had a positive relationship with preventive health behavior against it (r=.33, p<.001). CONCLUSION: The findings show that participants stress levels were high and degrees of perceptions of occurrence risk and cancer preventive health behaviors were low. Significant correlations were found among these variables. On the basis of these findings, development of intervention is required to reduce stress and enhance the perception of occurrence risk of cancer and cancer preventive health behavior among three shifts nurses.

OBJECTIVES: The aim of this study is to develop Treatment Guidelines for Alcohol Use Disorder-the Korean Addiction Treatment Guidelines-using the Adaptation method. METHODS AND PROCEDURES: As the Adaptation method of Guidelines, the ADAPTE Manual, which is developed by ADAPTE collaboration is applied. In Part 1 : preparatory work prior to the beginning of Adaptation is performed. In Part 2 : the core phase of the Adaptation in which we searched the guidelines and performed a systematic review of the literature. The two guidelines (of the AU and the UK) are selected by gone through the methodological quality and currency evaluation for guidelines. And, in order to choose the proper recommendations, the contents were evaluated with regard to the applicability and acceptability of guidelines to the domestic. Finally, in Part 3 : the adapted guideline is reviewed externally, with review and plan update. Therefore, in this way, the Korean Guidelines for Treatment of Alcohol Use Disorder, comprised of 55 recommendations, was developed. CONCLUSION: In this study, Korean Guidelines for Treatment of Alcohol Use Disorder were developed by application of the Adaptation method of ADAPTE. These are the first evidence-based Korean Guidelines for Treatment of Alcohol Use Disorder, which were modified and accepted in accordance with Korean circumstances within the range not damaging the validity of the treatment worth, and it is expected to contribute to improvement in quality and efficiency enhancement of Korean treatment of Alcohol Use Disorder.
Cooperative Behavior

Purpose: Nurses in the forefront of reproductive health services face the challenge of motivating clients to adapt fertility awareness-based methods, or making them continue with the method due to concerns about handling sexual abstinence. To assist nurses and other reproductive health providers, a sexual health intervention was developed. Thus, this study aimed to determine the effectiveness of the sexual health intervention called Kalabit-kalabit (sexual desire), Irap (abstinence), and Sanggang-dikit (shared behavioral plan) (KIS) on the sexual scripts, motivation, and behavior of couples with difficulty in sexual abstinence in natural family planning. Specifically, it aimed to identify the sexual scripts on pagkatao (personhood), pagkalalaki (manhood), pagiging lalaki (masculinity), pagkababae (womanhood), pagiging babae (femininity), pagtatalik (sexual intercourse), and pagpipigil (abstinence), as well as the sexual motivation and behavior of couples with difficulty in abstinence before and after KIS. Methods: Embedded multiple-case study with purposive sampling using the replication logic was used to satisfy the inquiry. Four couples qualified using the assumption that difficulty with abstinence is caused by illogical sexual scripts, and inappropriate sexual motivation and behavior of either one or both spouses as a template to determine KIS’s effectiveness. Pattern matching, cross-case synthesis, and logic model were used for analytic generalization. Prior to the conduct of the study, the research protocol underwent scrutiny by the Independent Ethics Committee of De La Salle Medical and Health Sciences Institute. Result: KIS was found to be effective in (a) decoding and denouncing illogical sexual scripts and inappropriate sexual motivation and behavior, (b) reframing them to logical sexual scripts and appropriate sexual motivation and behavior, and (c) sharing mutual behavioral plans if accompanied with openness and full acceptance of self and spouse coupled with conviction, cooperation, commitment, and determination. Conclusions Decoding, challenging, reframing, and sharing mutual behavioral plans facilitate couples' competence in achieving sexual abstinence with ease.

Background: The Dietary Habits and Nutrition Knowledge Questionnaire (DHNKQ) is a validated assessment tool that provides information about the nutritional practices of collegiate athletes as an integral support to sports performance. This psychometric study aims to translate and validate the DHNKQ for the Filipino collegiate population to come up with the DHNKQ-FIL using various psychometric protocols consolidated into two phases. Methods: The first phase involved the translation of the tool into Filipino and testing for face and content validity through a focus group discussion by an expert committee and was finalized with the administration of a pre-test to 30 collegiate athletes for final modification purposes. The second phase tested the validated DHNKQ-FIL on a new set of 30 collegiate athletes for internal consistency and reliability testing, statistically analyzed using Cronbach’s α and intraclass correlation coefficient, respectively. Results: The DHNKQ-FIL used modern Filipino terminologies, more appropriate for the modern Filipino collegiate athlete. Item Content Validity Index (I-CVI) had scores of 90% and above in semantic, idiomatic, experiential, and conceptual equivalence for both sections. Food guides and choices, along with the usage of medical jargon, were identified areas for modification in the validity testing. Pre-test subjects considered the questionnaire appropriate and applicable for Filipino athletes after cognitive interview. The pilot test showed scale reliability scores of 0.68 or “Questionable” for dietary habits section and 0.81 or “Good” for nutritional knowledge. Test-retest reliability had a score of 0.79 or “Acceptable” for dietary habits and 0.60 or “Questionable” for nutrition knowledge. Conclusion The acceptable scores for the translation, validation, and reliability of the DHNKQ-FIL makes it a valid tool for assessing dietary habit and nutritional knowledge among Filipino collegiate athletes.

In this paper, we relate the concepts of “You Only Live Once,” delayed gratification, theories of persuasion as used in communication, and economics. We illustrate behavioral changes across generations and seek to explain these changes using a combined framework of communication, psychology, and economics. These concepts are then juxtaposed with the present COVID-19 crisis in terms of both health and economic implications. To provide a human face to the discussion, we describe our experiences as consumers, savers, and investors, thus demonstrating the application of these concepts to our own microeconomies. Philosophically peaking, a decision to do something in the present and a decision to defer something for the future are both acts of faith. We propose the use of theories of persuasion to demonstrate the risk in an overreliance on present orientation. We suggest diversification, not only in investment outlets, but also in temporal orientation, i.e., while people can and should enjoy the present, they should not do so by ignoring the future.
