“…As delays to necessary medical care can adversely impact well-being,29 this behaviour is concerning. As efforts have been successfully made to encourage help-seeking in those personnel/veterans experiencing mental health difficulties (eg,30), a similar approach for promoting treatment seeking for physical health issues may also be beneficial. Furthermore, close companions often provided support for veterans to access medical treatment as well as informal care.…”

ObjectivesMilitary veterans often experience physical health problems in later life; however, it remains unclear whether these problems are due to military service or are a feature of the ageing process. This study aimed to explore veteran and non-veteran perceptions of the impact of their occupation on their physical well-being later in life.DesignSemi-structured qualitative interviews analysed using thematic analysis.SettingInterviews were conducted face-to-face in participants’ homes or via telephone.Participants35 veterans (≥65 years), 25 non-veterans (≥65 years) were recruited, as well as a close companion of all participants for triangulation (n=60).ResultsMost veterans reported good physical health later in life which they attributed to the fitness they developed during military service. However, several veterans described challenges in maintaining their desired level of physically activity due to new commitments and limited sports facilities when they left service. Fewer non-veterans had experienced work-related fitness activities or exercise in their civilian jobs. Ongoing physical health difficulties, such as deafness, were perceived to be due to exposure to workplace hazards and appeared more common in veterans compared with non-veterans. Veterans also described greater reluctance than non-veterans to seek medical treatment for physical health difficulties, which could be challenging for close companions who had to provide informal care.ConclusionsMilitary service was largely perceived to be beneficial for physical well-being; although when occupation-related physical health problems were experienced, many veterans were unwilling to seek treatment. These findings may inform clinicians of the needs of older veterans and highlight potential barriers to care.

“…These factors will be briefly discussed in this section. First, food hawkers' actual behavior reacting towards abiding government policy (Tyler & Darley, 1999), willingness to use EFFP (Horváth et al, 2018), involvement in recycle activity program (Chen et al, 2018;Jansson et al, 2011;Ohtomo & Hirose, 2007), encourage others (Clark-Hitt et al, 2012;Dunhill, 2018), and use of EFFP in daily life (Kahneman et al, 2004) and business activity (Han et al, 2009;McLachlan et al, 2018). These issues revolve around the actual behavior determination of the use of EFFP among food hawkers.…”

In recent years, the issue of food packaging waste has become a vital environmental concern in the society which revolves around waste management practices particularly among food hawkers. The problem has been highlighted by many researchers and numerous suggestions have been made in order to improve sustainability with regard to green environment. Food packaging waste ranks the highest contributor to waste. Thus, environmentally friendly food packaging (EFFP) has been introduced in the market to ensure good management practices could be promoted among food hawkers so that environmental pollution can be reduced. However, even though many environmental programs have been implemented, the usage of EFFP among food hawkers has not improved. Hence, this paper aims to propose a specific actual behavior model to determine the usage of EFFP among food hawkers with personal value as a mediator. The development of the model used data that were collected from local food hawkers. Structural equation modeling was used to test related hypotheses. The findings indicated that personal values were a suitable mediator construct. Furthermore, attitudes, subjective norm, and perceived behavioral were all found to have had significant effects on the intention to use and the actual behavior. Finally, this paper also discusses the limitations of the present study and the contribution it has made.

“…with a wealth of US research(Clark-Hitt, Smith, & Broderick, 2012;Hipes, 2011) contact with soldiers reporting positive treatment experiences and testimonies was indicated as a further effective method. US research indicates this is especially effective if the person sharing their story had combat experience as this enhanced their credibility to the soldiers (Clark-Hitt et al, 2012).…”

Mental health stigma and barriers to care (BTC) have been reported as impeding help-seeking among UK military personnel. A deeper understanding of the impact of stigma and BTC on help-seeking may be accessible via the perceptions of UK military health service providers. Secondary thematic analysis of interviews with 21 UK Army Welfare Officers and Medical Officers was conducted to investigate their perceptions of how mental health stigma, BTC, and stigma alleviation efforts impact UK Army soldiers' help-seeking. Three master themes were identified; Military culture; Barriers to care: and, Stigma alleviation success. The Welfare and Medical Officers perceived that military culture and its promotion of stoicism lead to certain beliefs surrounding legitimacy of mental health problems, confidentiality, and concerns for career impacts that affect UK Army personnel seeking help. They also reported perceiving stigma to have decreased and attributed this to some of the stigma reduction interventions currently in place. Recommendations for education based stigma reduction methods are made, including reframing beliefs surrounding the need to "soldier on" and that help-seeking is a weakness, providing consistent advice about confidentiality of health service attendance, and education for leaders to promote symptom recognition and treatment seeking.
