  • General Health and self-efficacy for Health practices of pregnant women: is it important for motherhood?
    Journal of Public Health, 2019
    Co-Authors: Shirin Ghasemi, Masoud Rayyani, Jamileh Farokhzadian
    Abstract:

    This study aimed to investigate the relationship between General Health and self-efficacy for Health practices of pregnant women. In this descriptive cross-sectional study, a two-stage cluster-sampling method was applied and 300 pregnant women were selected from 15 Health centers affiliated with a large medical university in the southeast of Iran. Data were collected using a demographic questionnaire, the General Health Questionnaire (GHQ-28), and the Self Rated Abilities for Health Practices Scale (SRAHPS). The pregnant women’s total mean score for the GHQ-28 was 28.65 ± 10.92, which showed slight General Health disorders. The total mean score of participants’ self-efficacy for Health practices was moderate (54.47 ± 18.40). A significant relationship was observed between General Health and self-efficacy for Health practices (r = − 0.35, p = 0.01). Pregnant women had slight General Health disorders and moderate self-efficacy for Health practices. According to the findings, increasing General Health status of pregnant women improved their self-efficacy for Health practices. Therefore, General Health-promoting interventions are recommended to improve self-efficacy for Health practices of pregnant women.

  • Form, frequency and burden of sleep problems in General Health care: a report from the WHO Collaborative Study on Psychological Problems in General Health Care
    European Psychiatry, 1996
    Co-Authors: Tb Üstün, M Privett, Yves Lecrubier, Emmanuelle Weiller, Greg Simon, A Korten, Ss Bassett, Wolfgang Maier, Norman Sartorius
    Abstract:

    Summary The WHO Collaborative Study on Psychological Problems in General Health Care examined the frequency, form, course and outcome of psychological problems in General Health care settings. A total of 25,916 General Health care attenders at 15 sites in 14 countries were screened using the 12-item General Health Questionnaire (GHQ-12). Of those screened, 5,438 were assessed in detail using a Primary Health Care version of the Composite International Diagnostic Interview (CID1-PHC) in conjunction with the Brief Disability Questionnaire, the Social Disability Schedules, a self rated overall Health status form and the 28-item General Health Questionnaire. The analysis has shown that sleep problems were common at all sites with: 26.8% of all patients having some form of sleep problem and 15% of the patients examined had trouble falling or staying asleep. Of those with sleep problems, 51.5% had a well-defined International Classification of Diseases 10th Revision (ICD-10) mental disorder (such as depression, anxiety, somatoform disorders or alcohol problems) and 48.5% of those with sleep problems for at least two weeks or more did not fulfil the criteria for any well defined ICD-10 diagnosis. Persons with sleep problems reported a degree of disability in the performance of their daily activities and social roles even when they had no symptoms of psychological disorders. When such symptoms were present the disability was significantly increased.

  • Self-reported oral and General Health in relation to socioeconomic position.
    BMC Public Health, 2017
    Co-Authors: Magnus Hakeberg, Ulla Wide Boman
    Abstract:

    During the past two decades, several scientific publications from different countries have shown how oral Health in the population varies with social determinants. The aim of the present study was to explore the relationship between self-reported oral and General Health in relation to different measures of socioeconomic position. Data were collected from a randomly selected sample of the adult population in Sweden (n = 3500, mean age 53.4 years, 53.1% women). The response rate was 49.7%. Subjects were interviewed by telephone, using a questionnaire including items on self-reported oral and General Health, socioeconomic position and lifestyle. A significant gradient was found for both oral and General Health: the lower the socioeconomic position, the poorer the Health. Socioeconomic position and, above all, economic measures were strongly associated with General Health (OR 3.95) and with oral Health (OR 1.76) if having an income below SEK 200,000 per year. Similar results were found in multivariate analyses controlling for age, gender and lifestyle variables. For adults, there are clear socioeconomic gradients in self-reported oral and General Health, irrespective of different socioeconomic measures. Action is needed to ensure greater equity of oral and General Health.
