Objectives The associated factors with job satisfaction can predict the personal and professional progress of middle-aged and elderly people, as well as their future success. The present study aimed to predict job satisfaction based on personality traits and psychological empowerment among middle-aged and elderly working people. Methods & Materials Of all middle-aged and elderly employed people in Kermanshah City, Iran, a sample of 240 people were selected by the convenience sampling method. The study data were collected using NEO five-factor inventory, short form, psychological empowerment questionnaire and job satisfaction survey. For data analysis, the Pearson correlation coefficient and regression analysis methods were used. Results The results revealed that personality characteristics of extrovertism, accountability and flexibility were positively associated with job satisfaction with correlation coefficients of 0.42, 0.34, and 0.07, respectively. In addition, there was a positive and significant relationship between psychological empowerment and job satisfaction with correlation coefficient of 0.43. However, no significant relationship was found between mental health and pleasure with job satisfaction. Conclusion According to the findings of this study, personality traits and psychological empowerment can predict job satisfaction in middle-aged and elderly people.
Introduction: Cancer is the fourth leading cause of death in adolescents. Psychological factors play an important role both in the development and in the sustainability and outcomes of cancer. Among these factors are Attitude to death and Anxiety sensitivity. Therefore, in this research, comparison of Attitude to death and Anxiety sensitivity between adolescents with cancer and normal adolescents are discussed. Method: For the purpose of this study, from adolescents (15-19 years old) with cancer in the Isfahan province who had come to Health centers and Ala Cancer Prevention and Control Center (MACSA), 60 people were selected by available sampling method, and selected 60 normal adolescent (15-19 years old) of Isfahan High School by Cluster Sampling. Then, the Wong Death Attitude Inventory and Anxiety Sensitivity (AS) Inventory was completed by all two groups. MANOVA was used for the analysis of data. Results: Result showed that from attitude to death sub scales, Fear of Death, Death Avoidance and Escape Acceptance and also all sub scales of anxiety sensitivity of adolescents with cancer is significantly higher than normal adolescents. Conclusion: Based on the findings, it can be concluded that attitude to death and anxiety sensitivity play an important role both in the development and in the sustainability and outcomes of cancer in adolescents. So, along with physical interventions, we must take measures to reduce fear of death and death avoidance and anxiety sensitivity in adolescents with cancer.
Objectives Cancer is the fourth leading cause of death in adolescents. Psychological factors play an important role in the development and sustainability, and treatment outcomes of cancer. One of these factors is the attitude towards death. One of the variables that play a fundamental role in the attitude towards death is the quality of the parent-child relationship, which forms the attachment style basis. Therefore, in this research, the structural pattern of death attitude based on attachment styles in adolescents with cancer was explored. Accordingly, we investigated the mediating role of emotional repression and anxiety sensitivity. Methods In total, 150 adolescents with cancer (85 girls & 65 boys) in the Isfahan Province, Iran, referring to Health centers and Ala Cancer Prevention and Control Center (MACSA). They were selected by convenience sampling method. Then, they were evaluated by the following measures: Hazan and Shaver Attachment Style in Adults Inventory, Wong Death Attitude Inventory, Weinberger Emotional Repression Inventory, Anxiety Sensitivity (AS) Inventory. The obtained data were analyzed by Structural Equation Modeling (SEM). Results The collected result indicated that attachment quality has a direct and significant relationship with the attitude toward death in adolescents with cancer. Additionally, attachment quality through the mediating role of emotional suppression and anxiety sensitivity had significant relationships with the attitude toward death in this population. Conclusion Attachment styles, emotional suppression, and anxiety sensitivity are the important determinants of attitude toward death in adolescents with cancer. Moreover, the assessed model could explain the attitude toward death in these individuals.
