“…Maslow distinguished between what he termed deficiency needs and those he termed being needs, with the former representing physiological and safety conditions necessary for existence and the latter (including affiliation and self-actualization), relating to personal growth, selfhood and integration (Maslow, 1970). Although Maslow's theory has been criticized, primarily based on his assertions about the relative potency of needs (Wahba & Bridwell, 1976;Wanous & Zwany, 1977), a growing recent literature is finding support for the needs Maslow proposed and for the distinction he made between deficiency needs and being needs as elaborated in his later writings (Cameron, Banko & Pierce, 2001;Hagerty, 1999;Wicker, Brown, Wiehe, Hagen & Reed, 1993;Wicker & Wiehe, 1999;Wicker, Wiehe, Hagen & Brown, 1994).…”

The perceived stress of time-pressures related to modern life in Western nations has heightened public interest in how lifestyles can be balanced. Conditions of apparent imbalance, such as workaholism, burnout, insomnia, obesity and circadian desynchronosis, are ubiquitous and have been linked to adverse health consequences. Despite this, little research has been devoted to the study of healthy lifestyle patterns. This paper traces the concept of lifestyle balance from early history, continuing with the mental hygiene movement of the early twentieth century, and extending to the present. Relevant threads of theory and research pertaining to time use, psychological need satisfaction, rolebalance, and the rhythm and timing of activities are summarized and critiqued. The paper identifies research opportunities for occupational scientists and occupational therapists, and proposes that future studies connect existing research across a common link-the identification of occupational patterns that reduce stress. The importance of such studies to guide health promotion, disease prevention and social policy decisions necessary for population health in the 21st century is emphasized.

“…Vroom (1964) stated "Individuals are satisfied with their jobs to the extent to which their jobs provide them with what they desire, and they perform effectively in them to the extent that effective performance leads to the attainment of what they desire" (p. 264). Empirical research has not supported a strong relationship between job satisfaction and job performance (Ambrose & Kulik, 1999;Kanfer, 1990;Wanous & Zwany, 1977). Furthermore, according to Kanfer (1992), general needs can be satisfied in various ways and a job is only one method of satisfying a need.…”

Although there are many job satisfaction studies, research related to the job satisfaction of African American counselors (AACs) is negligible. The purpose of this study was to investigate the job satisfaction of AACs. A total of 182 employed AACs who were members of the American Counseling Association (ACA) completed a modified Minnesota Satisfaction Questionnaire and a data information form. Results indicated that 87% of participants were satisfied or very satisfied with their current job.

“…The Need Fulfillment Theory suggests that people have physiological and socio-psychological needs which can be fulfilled and these needs determine and motivate how individuals act, think, or respond [20,21]. Different levels of need fulfillment impact the relationship between satisfaction and importance, and a need is fulfilled when both importance and satisfaction are met [22,23]. Need fulfillment is greatest at this point when the need is important and when the person is satisfied that the need is met.…”

Validation of the Needs Assessment of Family Caregivers-Cancer scale in an Asian population

et al. 2020

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Background: The Needs Assessment of Family Caregivers-Cancer (NAFC-C) scale is shown to have adequate psychometric properties in assessing family caregiver needs during the cancer journey and its psychometric properties have been studied only in Western populations. This study sought to validate the NAFC-C in an Asian population for wider applicability. Methods: Participants (n = 363) completed questions on sociodemographics, the Depression Anxiety Stress Scale, the Zarit Burden Interview, the Caregiver Quality of Life Index-Cancer scale, and the NAFC-C. Results: Results revealed good internal consistency, test-retest reliability, and concurrent validity of the NAFC-C. Confirmatory factor analysis did not demonstrate a good fit of the NAFC-C in our sample. Exploratory factor analysis revealed a similar factor structure in this study's population. Further reliability and validity analyses with the EFA factor structure demonstrated similar reliability and validity assessments. Conclusions: The NAFC-C is shown to be applicable in an Asian population. It would be a useful instrument for determining family caregivers' needs and to inform future interventions to address those needs and improve or maintain quality of life in both patients and their caregivers.
