Expressed concerns of Yemeni adolescents.

This study examined the concerns of adolescents in the Republic of Yemen. A short version of the Mooney Problem Check List was administered to 150 13- to 17-year-old males and females. Results indicated that the major concerns and problems reported by Yemeni adolescents were related to their vocational and educational future, recreational activities, religious matters, and school curriculum and teaching methods. Problems related to social life, family, and health and physical issues were less prominent. Results also showed that though there were similarities in the number of concerns expressed by males and females, males reported more difficulties with their vocational and educational future, marriage and sexual matters, and finances and employment, while females reported more problems with recreational activities, personal relationships, and health.

Preaffiliation and postaffiliation concerns expressed by physical therapy students.

The purpose of this descriptive study was to identify clinical education concerns expressed by physical therapy students at a midwestern university. Twenty senior-level baccalaureate degree students participated in open-ended taped interviews conducted after the first five-week affiliation and before and after the next three five-week affiliations that were integrated into their programs of study. The most frequently expressed concerns regarded clinical techniques and interpersonal relationships. Concerns about clinical techniques were expressed most frequently before an affiliation. Concerns about personal interactions were expressed most frequently after an affiliation. Many of those students who expressed concerns about interpersonal relationships expressed the same concerns after consecutive affiliations. A difference existed between concerns expressed after an acute care affiliation and concerns expressed after a rehabilitation affiliation. Through the identification of student-expressed preaffiliation and postaffiliation concerns, student-educator interactions may be improved.

CEOs and CFOs express concern about materials management.

In a recent survey, CEOs and CFOs expressed concern regarding the effectiveness of their materials management departments. Both groups of executives would like to see more improvement in their materials managers' supply expense reduction efforts and leadership skills. More than a third of CFOs are even considering outsourcing the materials management function. Both CEOs and CFOs did admit, however, they needed to learn more about materials management, and both groups of executives could lend their authority to materials management programs to ensure their success. CEOs and CFOs need to reach consensus regard materials management priorities, performance levels, and professional characteristics and desired skills. They also should hold materials managers accountable for operations they can and should be managing by using performance-based compensation.

Evaluation of dietary practices of college women based on expressed concern for one's dietary habits.

On the basis of expressions of concern for their dietary practices, those noting much concern were more likely to practice nutrient supplementation as a margin of safety against possible dietary deficiencies and to rate their diets as good. Although those subjects were more likely to view their body size with satisfaction than subjects in other groups, the majority in each group tended to believe that they were overweight. Diets of those expressing much concern were more likely to meet 100% of the RDAs than diets of other groups.

Personality features and expressed concerns of adolescents with eating disorders.

Differences between adolescent females diagnosed with either anorexia nervosa (n = 26) or bulimia nervosa (n = 30) were investigated using the Millon Adolescent Personality Inventory (MAPI; Millon, Green, & Meagher, 1982). About half of the total sample displayed an inhibited (avoidant) personality style. Anorexics scored higher than did bulimics on the Respectful (Compulsive) personality scale. Expressed concerns over self-concept, personal esteem, and sexual acceptance were common in the total sample. The behavioral correlates of MAPI score profiles indicated that few bulimics, and none of the anorexics, were likely to exhibit problems with impulse control, societal conformity, and scholastic achievement. Results are compared with clinical observations of adolescents with eating disorders and findings for adult eating-disordered samples.

Fears and concerns expressed by families in the donation discussion.

Previous research has identified specific fears and concerns among the general public about organ and tissue donation. However, little to none of that research has dealt with fears and concerns at the time of the donation discussion. In this study, 180 experienced coordinators ranked the fears and concerns most commonly heard during the donation discussion. They further classified the fears and concerns according to the ease with which they can be addressed. Subsequently, the fears and concerns were classified in 4 groups: often heard and easy to deal with, often heard and hard to deal with, seldom heard and easy to deal with, seldom heard and hard to deal with. The results can be used to stimulate further research on family fears and concerns, to train and retrain coordinators to address those concerns in the donation discussion, and to improve existing strategies for increasing organ and tissue donation.

Concerns expressed by underserved individuals regarding family and community healthcare needs.

This descriptive study examines the health concerns that underserved individuals have for their family and community. Of 82 subjects completing a self-report instrument, 29% reported specific health needs for their community and 20% reported health needs for their family. Their major concerns for the community included acquired immunodeficiency syndrome and human immunodeficiency virus; their major concerns for the family related to heart disease and diabetes. Study subjects were mostly concerned with healthcare needs facing specific individuals within their family and community. Results indicated that subjects had difficulty focusing on broader health concerns because of the multiple constraints of being underserved and uninsured.

Ethical concerns expressed by forensic psychiatrists.

A survey was made of American Academy of Forensic Sciences (AAFS) forensic psychiatrists to evaluate whether there is concern among them about potential ethical problems in criminal justice work. Of the respondents, 93.8% had encountered such problems. The main concerns indicated were about those psychiatrists who become a "hired gun," become an advocate, do not give an honest opinion, or have problems with confidentiality. The need for ethical guidelines and further debate about ethical issues is presented.

Searching for solutions: health concerns expressed in letters to an east African newspaper column.

This study examined health care questions from an unusual data set: 1252 unsolicited letters written over a three-year period to an advice column in an East African newspaper. Analysis of the letters was a non-intrusive method of ascertaining prevalent health questions and opinions. People wrote seeking information, advice, solutions, and reassurance about health problems. Emotions expressed in the letters ranged from hope to fear and frustration. The written format allowed questions which are generally too embarrassing or stigmatized to present in other public or interpersonal settings. More than half the total letters raised questions about sexual behaviour, sexually transmitted diseases, and HIV/AIDS. The letters present not only personal health concerns, but also expectations of health-care quality and reflections on the medical options presently available in Uganda. As a whole, the letters express dissatisfaction not only with the outcomes of health encounters, but with the process. Of the letter writers with specific physical complaints, more than one-third had already sought medical care and were dissatisfied with the results. The letters were seeking solutions, especially for alleviation of symptoms and discomfort. Almost equally prevalent was a plea for accurate and relevant health information; people not only want to feel better, but they also want to understand their own health.
