“…This provides evidence that if resilience protects individuals from psychological distress, it is likely also to protect their physical, emotional and functional health. Barnfather and Ronis (2000) examined relationships between psychological development, basic need satisfaction, perceived stress and health amongst 171 adults with low levels of education. Using structural equation modelling techniques, they found correlations between higher levels of psychological development and positive health.…”

Health risk factor No. 4: Low fruit and vegetable intake. Worldwide, 19% of gastrointestinal cancer, 31% of ischemic heart disease and 11% of strokes are attributed to low intake of fruits and vegetables. In developed countries, this amounts to 3.9% of DALYs. Health risk factor No. 5: Physical activity. Exercise protects against the risk of cardiovascular disease, cancers and diabetes. Inactivity is related to 10-16% of cases of breast cancer, colon and rectal cancers, and diabetes mellitus. It is responsible for 1.9 million deaths and 19 million DALYs globally, and 3.3% of DALYs in developed countries. Health risk factor No. 6: Illicit drugs. The non-medical use of drugs is related to increased overall mortality though HIV/AIDS, overdose, suicide and trauma. Overall illicit drug use is implicated in 0.4% of all deaths worldwide and is most common in the industrialised countries of the Americas, Eastern Mediterranean and Europe. In developed countries, illicit drug use is responsible for 1.8% of DALYs. Health risk factor No. 7: Unsafe sex. The overwhelming majority of DALYs attributable to unsafe sex result from the global HIV/AIDS epidemic. Although much of this occurs in countries outside of the OECD, of the HIV/AIDS related deaths that occurred outside of Africa in 2001, 25-90% were caused by unsafe sex. In developed countries, 0.8% of DALYs is attributable to unsafe sex. Service use Another important health behaviour is health service utilisation. We define service use in a general sense to include not just the uptake of services per se in terms of quantity of resources used but also in terms of the efficiency of service use and more generally in terms of the communication with health professionals, use of preventative treatments, compliance with advice, expert patients and community level access to health provision. Because of the importance for health of appropriate and effective use of services we add this to the list of health behaviours considered as markers of health. There are three main elements to service use relevant here: • A preventative element which is manifested through the use of health services for preventative reasons (e.g. regular checkups) or to monitor health conditions. • A responsive element, characterised by individuals' use of health facilities in response to diseases, pains, accidents, or in general poor health conditions which usually limit daily activities. • The management of chronic and/or disabling conditions. The role of education We introduce education into the model in Figure 4.2.4. At the centre of the framework is the self in context. Education matters to health firstly through direct effects on the people that engage in it and secondly because it impacts on the choices of contexts that people come to inhabit or on their opportunities to choose such contexts. Also, through effects on multiple individuals and on social relations and wider socialisation and civic processes, education has the potential to impact on the nature of the contexts themselves, changing workplaces, ho...

“…À cet égard, Barnfather et Ronis (2000) affirment que les problèmes dépressifs des jeunes découleraient de la situation de décrochage en elle-même, cette dernière pouvant nuire à leur bien-être physique, psychologique et social. En effet, les difficultés socio-économiques auxquelles doivent faire face les décrocheurs après avoir quitté l'école les amèneraient à éprouver davantage de problèmes de santé physique et mentale (Chavez, Edwards & Oetting, 1989;Gage, 1990;Tousignant, Bastien & Hamel, 1993).…”

Le phénomène du décrochage scolaire en Amérique du Nord, et notamment au Québec, est devenu une préoccupation importante aussi bien pour le milieu scolaire que pour le gouvernement et les parents, étant donné les coûts considérables qu'il engendre, tant pour les individus décrocheurs que pour l'ensemble de la société. Les nombreuses recherches réalisées sur le sujet démontrent d'ailleurs l'ampleur et les conséquences importantes associées à ce phénomène. Ce mémoire présente un aspect novateur de la problématique du décrochage scolaire en se penchant, plus spécifiquement, sur le vécu et le parcours scolaire antérieurs déjeunes de moins de 18 ans qui fréquentent un centre d'éducation des adultes (CEA), plus communément appelés "raccrocheurs". À ce jour, peu d'études se sont intéressées à la question du raccrochage scolaire. L'objectif général de la présente étude vise donc à dresser un portrait du parcours scolaire de ces jeunes qui, après avoir quitté l'école secondaire, du secteur jeune, ont décidé de reprendre leur cheminement en s'inscrivant dans un CEA. Pour ce faire, elle tente d'atteindre quatre objectifs spécifiques. Le premier vise à dresser un portrait du parcours scolaire des jeunes au primaire, au secondaire et au CEA. Le deuxième objectif tente de documenter l'image qu'ils ont pu avoir d'eux-mêmes tout au long de leur parcours scolaire. Le troisième cherche à identifier les facteurs personnels, scolaires, familiaux, sociaux et environnementaux qui ont marqué leur parcours scolaire au primaire et au secondaire. Enfin, le dernier objectif s'intéresse à leur vécu au sein du CEA. L'échantillon se compose de 14 garçons, âgés en moyenne de 17,5 ans, qui fréquentent un CEA du Saguenay-Lac-Saint-Jean. Ils ont été recrutés par trois assistantes de recherche (dont, entre autres, l'auteure de ce mémoire) et les données ont été recueillies dans le cadre d'entrevues semi-dirigées portant sur leur situation personnelle, scolaire, familiale et sociale au primaire, au secondaire et au CEA, ainsi que sur leur image de soi tout au long de leur parcours scolaire.Les résultats de l'étude, reposant sur l'approche systémique, démontrent, conformément aux autres recherches réalisées sur ce phénomène, que c'est la présence de nombreux facteurs de risque et les interactions entre ces derniers qui peuvent mener à la dégradation du parcours scolaire et, de ce fait, au décrochage scolaire. Parmi les éléments mentionnés par les participants, on retrouve des facteurs aussi bien sur les plans personnel, scolaire, familial et social. Ainsi, concernant les facteurs personnels ayant influencé le parcours scolaire des répondants, Ton retrouve l'apparition de problèmes de santé physique, de problèmes de comportement ainsi que de troubles d'apprentissage, notamment, l'hyperactivité. Les facteurs scolaires regroupent, quant à eux, les difficultés scolaires, les échecs répétés, les redoublements, la fréquentation de classes spéciales, le manque d'assiduité dans les travaux scolaires ainsi que la piètre qualité des relations que les jeunes ...

“…[1] In a study by Acton (1993), based on the theory of Erickson et al, basic needs satisfaction was the main predictor of well-being status of care providers for Alzheimer patients, and the total model described 49 percent of variance of care providers' well-being. [2] Barnfather (1993) reported that there is relationship between basic needs satisfaction and potential adaptation status. Individuals that their four basic needs (Out of four) were met, they have been in more balanced state in terms of adaptation and none of them was in impoverishment stage, where one is not able to cope with stress.…”

BACKGROUND Modeling and role modeling theory is one of the applied theories in nursing, which originates from the practice. Basic needs satisfaction is the core concept in this model. Theorists of this theory believe that when basic needs are met and dependence is developed in the individual, he will be able to adapt with the stresses, feel valuable, and mobilize resources for coping with stresses. While if basic needs are not met and confident dependence is not developed in the person, the ability and mobilization of resources for stress coping would be reduced. Since the elderly population is growing in Iran, current research was conducted investigating basic needs satisfaction based on modeling and role-modeling theory and some individual characteristics in the elderly people. METHODS The research population in this descriptive study included all elderly people referring to Kahrizak Charity Institute in Alborz province to receive daily care. Census was used as sampling method (n = 88). Ratio of response was 72.2 percent. A three-part questionnaire was used as data collection tool. Data were collected using the questionnaire. First part included demographic characteristics, second part contained 'basic need satisfaction questionnaire' by Haymes-Green, and third part included modified Barthel Scale. This scale was psychometrically evaluated in Iran and correlation between the respective version and original version of Barthel was reported as 0.99. RESULTS Regarding basic needs satisfaction based on Maslow's pyramid, mean of three dimensions (physiologic, support, and attachment) was higher than average. Highest mean of basic needs satisfaction was related to physical dimension and lowest mean was related to support dimension. Regarding independent daily functioning, lowest frequency was related to complete independence in performing daily function in "climbing stairs" followed by "urinary control". CONCLUSIONS In investigation of basic needs satisfaction, mean scores of all dimensions was higher than average. Majority of the elderly people has low dependence on others' help, or they were completely independent. HOW TO CITE THIS ARTICLE: Sharifi S, Safabakhsh L, Khojasteh F. Investigating basic needs satisfaction in the elderly people with some individual characteristics based on modelling and role-modelling theory.
