“…Bandura’s self-regulatory learning principle emphasizes the active role of an individual in controlling, regulating, and managing oneself and the surrounding environment. 11 The constructs of this theory include: knowledge, outcome expectancy, outcome evaluation, situational understanding, self-efficacy, goal-setting or self-control, affective adaptation, and self-efficacy in overcoming barriers 12 (Figure 1). The main goal of social cognitive theory (SCT) is to explain human behavior in the form of triangular causality, which includes behavior, the environment, and personal factors (such as cognitions, emotions, and biological events).…”

Background: Diabetes is a global health issue and the most prevalent chronic metabolic disease, which requires lifelong self-care behaviors. Thus, the present study was conducted with the aim of predicting the factors of self-care behaviors based on social cognitive theory in diabetic patients referred to comprehensive health service centers in Fasa. Methods: This cross-sectional research comprised 106 type 2 diabetes patients who were referred to Fasa service providers to determine the optimal solution. Outcomes were assessed using an existing demographic questionnaire, the diabetic self-care questionnaire, and a unique questionnaire to assess social cognitive theory, the validity and reliability of which were estimated. SPSS21 software with a Chi license was used for data analysis, and Spearman correlations, independent t-tests, and one-way ANOVA were performed. Results: The age range of patients was between 33 and 67 years. There was a significant relationship between gender, education, and type of treatment with self-care. According to the findings, the variables of self-efficacy ( r = 0.200), self-efficacy of overcoming obstacles ( r = 0.285), environmental factors ( r = 0.334), observational learning ability ( r = 0.148), situational perception ( r = 0.297), emotional adaptation ( r = 0.051), outcome assessment ( r = 0.114) and outcome expectation ( r = 0.082) had a positive and significant correlation with self-care behaviors. Also, the self-efficacy variable (Beta coefficient = 0.340) had the highest predictive value. Conclusion: In designing and implementing educational interventions for self-care of diabetic patients, the theory of social cognition can be used as a framework to promote and maintain public health in patients.

“…Knowledge levels can be increased by implementing educational programs related to the side effects of junk food consumption. Shabanian et al (2018) found that an educational program was one of the efficient strategies to reduce the intake of fast food. That father's occupation is significantly associated with junk food consumption was supported by a study conducted in Nepal (Cohen et al 2012).…”

IntroductionJunk foods are defined as processed foods with negligible nutrient value and are often high in salt, sugar, and fat. Junk foods with high sugar content deplete energy levels and the ability to concentrate for extended periods, especially for college students who are forced to consume junk food to curb their hunger as it gives them a sense of pleasure. Due to low prices and affordability, they consume junk food as an alternative to home food. MethodologyThis was a cross-sectional study carried out among undergraduate medical college students in the Chengalpattu district by systematic random sampling. A semi-structured questionnaire which was framed after reviewing similar works of literature was used to assess the knowledge, attitude, and practice regarding junk food consumption. The collected data were entered into MS Excel and analyzed using SPSS version 21. P value <0.05 was considered significant. ResultsOf the 260 participants, 51% were males and 49% were females with a mean age of 20±2.0 years. 65% of the respondents had adequate knowledge regarding the harmful effects of junk food consumption and their BMI scores tended to be in the normal range. 45% of participants felt lethargic after consuming junk food. Chi-square revealed a statistically significant association between the student’s year of study (0.004) and their knowledge score, suggesting that the knowledge level was higher for interns. ConclusionThe present study concludes that most participants had adequate knowledge of junk food consumption patterns. Nutrition counseling regarding a balanced diet and the harmful effects of junk foods may help to curb junk food addiction.

“…Perceived severity depends on the individual's knowledge of the complications and risks of the disease and is rooted in the knowledge and awareness of the disease. Perceived sensitivity depends on a person's perception of the disease and its debilitative effects and is rooted in his or her attitudes (Safari, Shojaeizade, Ghofranipour, Heidarnia, & Amir, 2009). Accordingly, perceived sensitivity is experienced when people consider themselves susceptible to the severe complications of cirrhosis.…”

Liver cirrhosis is a chronic and relatively common disease without a definitive cure in most cases. Few studies have investigated affected individuals perceptions of the disease. This qualitative study aimed to describe the perceptions of individuals (n = 27) with liver cirrhosis toward their disease. Interview data was analyzed using conventional content analysis. Data analysis revealed two main themes: the first theme was “perceived sensitivity to the cirrhosis,” which was characterized by concerns about disease transmission to others, concerns about seeing symptoms as a reason in referring to medical centers, hiding disease from others, feeling remorse or guilt in having disease, and personal beliefs about cause of disease. The second theme was the “perceived severity of the cirrhosis,” which was characterized by feelings of disease exacerbation due to tension and stress, discomfort due to continuation of annoying symptoms, discomfort due to ascites, and fear and hope while waiting for liver transplantation. The findings indicate a perceived threat from liver cirrhosis. Such perceived threats and their characteristics could help nurses and other healthcare providers to be aware of this perception in their care of individuals living with liver cirrhosis.
