“…Arakelian (16) expôs suas idéias sobre locus de controle e adesão ao tratamento da obesidade. Acredita que pessoas com locus de controle externo tenham maior propensão para adiar cirurgias corretivas e quando participam de programas de controle de peso, são as de menor sucesso.…”

“…12 Noncompliant behavior could then include reluctance, reactance, and recidivism characterized by disinterest, refusal to comply, or the lack of sustained effort to follow health recommendations. 13 The relationship between health beliefs and compliance has been studied using the conceptual framework of the health belief model. This model hypothesizes that individuals will not carry out a health behavior unless they have at least a minimal level of health motivation and knowledge, see themselves as vulnerable and the condition as threatening, are convinced of the health behavior's efficacy, and.find few barriers to the action.…”

1984

Thirty insulin-dependent outpatients were interviewed during one of their diabetes clinic visits. Questionnaires were used to measure the independent variables of health locus of control, health value, and perceived social support. Self-report and direct observation were used to measure the dependent variable, compliance with insulin administration, diet, exercise, hypoglycemia management, self-monitoring of blood glucose (SMBG), and foot care prescriptions. All patients complied with at least 70% of the points measured; half the group complied with at least 80% of the regimen. However, no one complied with all the behaviors deemed essential for good control. The group was most compliant with SMBG, hypoglycemia management, and insulin administration and least compliant with foot care and exercise. A statistically significant relationship was found between compliance and social support (P less than 0.001), powerful others health locus of control (PHLC) (P less than 0.01), and internal health locus of control (IHLC) (P less than 0.05). A multiple regression analysis found that social support and PHLC accounted for at least 50% of the variance in compliance scores. The multiple-R of the independent variables with compliance reached a significance level of P less than 0.005. However, only the two variables of social support and PHLC added significantly (P less than 0.05) to prediction accuracy. The multiple-R of these two variables used as a set reached the significance level of P less than 0.001.

“…This, however, may not be the case. A change in LOC is likely when the reinforcements received, in new experiences, change previous pattems (Akrakelian, 1980). Therefore, it is possible to alter expectancy when there is a consistent change in reinforcement (Hans, 2000).…”

Many studies have been conducted on approaches to organizational effectiveness and financial performance in the healthcare industry. The purpose of this article is to study the Relationship Between Measures of Perceived Organizational Effectiveness and Actual Financial Performance in the Medical Group Practice Environment. The population in this study came from an annual survey of U.S. medical practices conducted by the Medical Group Managers Association (MGMA). The evaluation instruments developed are a composite of documented and currently active instruments, including components of organizational effectiveness, general demographics, locus of control, and constituent/environmental influences. Statistical analysis of data includes regression analysis and descriptive statistics measures. The three tested hypotheses in the study are not supported. However, the study does support an understanding of industry relationships and reinforces the findings of former studies. Additionally, a new level of confirmation is established indicating that even under greater levels of environmental control, perceived organizational effectiveness and actual financial performance has no significant relationship. This article provides a concise summary and update of a larger and more detailed body of work.
