Predictors of Art Adherence among People Living with Human Immune Virus Attending Treatment at Hospitals in West Shewa Zone, Oromia Region, Ethiopia, 2015

Back ground:  Anti-retroviral therapy (ART) is a treatment for people living with HIV to help them to attain a maximal and durable suppression of the viral replication and prevention of the resistance. ARV regimens require adherence rate of at least 95.0% to achieve undetectable viral load, reduce the risk of drug-resistant HIV development and minimize recurrence of symptoms of AIDS. This study is aimed improve the information gap regarding adherence level and factors predicting the adherence of people to ART attending clinics of hospitals in west shoa zone of Oromia regional state, Ethiopia.Objectives: This is designed to identify predictors of ART adherence among people living with HIV and following ART treatment at hospitals in West Shewa Zone of Oromia Region, Ethiopia.Methodology:  data for the study is conducted from January to March 2015. at public hospitals found in West Shewa Zone of Oromia Region. A cross sectional study design that includes quantitative and qualitative study type was employed. Participants were selected by computer generated simple random sampling method. The collected data was cleansed, edited, coded, entered to SPSS version 16.0 window and analyzed.  Multiple logistic regressions model is used to identify the predicting factors of ART adherence. Result: A total of 326 people living with HIV/AIDS were participated in the study. From the participated clients, 66.2% of them achieved the recommended high level adherence. Being a jobless (has no job) (AOR= 0.005, 95% CI= 0.035-0.559), being on ART for 12-24 months (AOR= 8.9, 95% CI=2.816-28.0556), good knowledge of the importance of ART drug (AOR= 0.039, 95% CI=0.019-0.079) and being bored with drug consumption sometimes only (AOR=2.718, 95% CI=1.077-6.860) are factors significantly independently predicting ART adherence among people living with human immune virus. Traveling distance, felt depressed at dosing time, being busy with other work and long distance to facility were among the participants reason for not taking doses but these are not significantly associated with the adherence rate. Conclusion and Recommendation: From this study it was seen that ART adherence is not satisfactory to achieve the intended treatment outcome. Occupational status, duration of ART usage, knowledge of ART benefit and being bored with drug consumption are the statically significant predictors of ART adherence. So that ART treatment adherence enhancing program should target the client’s knowledge of the importance of the drugs, personal behaviors and work condition of the community. Keywords: ART, PLHIV, drug adherence

The Moral Dimensions of Boredom: A call for research

Despite the impressive progress that has been made on both the empirical and conceptual fronts of boredom research, there is one facet of boredom that has received remarkably little attention. This is boredom's relationship to morality. The aim of this article is to explore the moral dimensions of boredom and to argue that boredom is a morally relevant personality trait. The presence of trait boredom hinders our capacity to flourish and in doing so hurts our prospects for a moral life

"Arne Naess between Reason and Emotion." (This paper was the basis for lectures held at the Universities of Prague, Vienna and Belgrade, May 2003)

I try to convince the reader that we all too often consider our decisions more or less unreasonable – and due to emotions overpowering reason. The dualism: reason/emotion may be dangerously misleading. Psychoanalysis may be said to have been the first systematic effort to help us find the real reasons for our important decisions and views. Personal maturity involves both strength of emotions and clearness of thinking

What does touch tell us about emotions in touchscreen-based gameplay?

This is the post-print version of the Article. The official published version can be accessed from the link below - Copyright @ 2012 ACM. It is posted here by permission of ACM for your personal use. Not for redistribution.Nowadays, more and more people play games on touch-screen mobile phones. This phenomenon raises a very interesting question: does touch behaviour reflect the player’s emotional state? If possible, this would not only be a valuable evaluation indicator for game designers, but also for real-time personalization of the game experience. Psychology studies on acted touch behaviour show the existence of discriminative affective profiles. In this paper, finger-stroke features during gameplay on an iPod were extracted and their discriminative power analysed. Based on touch-behaviour, machine learning algorithms were used to build systems for automatically discriminating between four emotional states (Excited, Relaxed, Frustrated, Bored), two levels of arousal and two levels of valence. The results were very interesting reaching between 69% and 77% of correct discrimination between the four emotional states. Higher results (~89%) were obtained for discriminating between two levels of arousal and two levels of valence

Family eating and physical activity practices among African American, Filipino American, and Hispanic American families: Implications for developing obesity prevention programs

Overweight and obesity among children and adults is well-documented as an escalating problem. The purpose of this study is to determine the blood pressure, self-esteem, and eating and physical activity practices among African Americans, Filipino Americans, and Hispanic Americans; and project implications for development of childhood obesity prevention programs. This descriptive study was conducted in a convenience sample of 110 mothers recruited in health clinics and community centers located in Southeast Florida: 19% African Americans, 26% Filipino Americans, and 55% Hispanic Americans. The data, collected via self-administered questionnaires and a guided interview (Family Eating and Activity Habits Questionnaire, Rosenberg’s Self-Esteem Scale, Background Information Questionnaire), were analyzed via descriptive and inferential statistics with findings significant at p \u3c .05. Results revealed differences and similarities in eating and activity practices between Filipinos and Blacks or Hispanics. Blood pressure and self-esteem did not differ by ethnicity; however, overweight mothers tended to have overweight children. The results point clearly to the importance of the mothers’ role modeling in eating and physical activity practices of families, reflecting the influence of mothers’ behaviors in children’s healthy behaviors, albeit family health. Given that mothers own physical exercise and eating habits could influence their children’s physical activity levels and food choices, a parental advice strategy could be disseminated directly to parents by health professionals. Study findings may raise public awareness of the increasing prevalence and consequences of overweight and obesity in children and adolescents, particularly among vulnerable ethnic groups. The findings provide a database for nurse practitioners and other health service providers for the development of culturally sensitive focused public health education programs to prevent or control obesity

“It is Magic”: A Global Perspective on what Technology Means to Youth

As technology becomes ever more pervasive, it is increasingly important to understand the relationships between technology and youth. We seek to understand this bond at a global level. We have conducted focus groups and\ud video diaries with middle-school aged children in three different countries: Hungary, India, and Morocco. Our exploration has yielded five themes highlighting the emotional perspectives of youth regarding the devices in their everyday lives: 1) awe and appreciation, 2) fun and entertainment, 3) boredom, 4) communication, and 5) negativity. This paper discusses these themes and their\ud significance
