“…The results indicated the desired reliability capability by high levels of internal consistency, which was consistent with the studies of Lang (with Cronbach's alpha 0.82) [10] and Onagbiye (with Cronbach's alpha 0.87) [23].Various studies mentioned the ineffectiveness of the literacy level on the completion of the questionnaire. The results of the present study con rmed this nding, too [25,26].…”

“…Therefore, older individuals are physically and mentally more prone to fatigue, and they may not tend to ll in questionnaires that are too long or complicated. Thus, valid questionnaires with a low number of items not only save time and money but also are better accepted by the older participants [23][24][25] .…”

“…Among the briefer questionnaires of QOL, SF-8 which is an abbreviated version of the original 36-item health survey is one of the most widely used QOL worldwide. It is easy to be completed, and requiring little time to ll in [10,13,23]. This questionnaire is a survey tool to be used regardless of age, illness or treatment, and the level of education [25,26].…”

BackgroundThe current study aimed to evaluate the psychometric properties of the Iranian version of SF-8 using a large sample of elderly in two different groups (diabetes and non-diabetes elderly).Method1901 older adults were recruited through a two-level clustered random sampling method, according to WHO STEP guidelines. In order to test reliability, the internal consistency and test_re_test were used. Convergent validity was evaluated by the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index [PSQI). An independent sample t-test was used to assess the significance of differences across demographic groups.FindingsThe Cronbach for SF-8 and its subscales were between 0.79 to 0.85 (physical and mental health). Result of test_re_test indicated appropriate reliability of SF-8. The result of CFA indicated that the 2‐factor model had a good fit to the data for diabetes and non-diabetes groups of older people (GFI=0.936, CFI=0.940, NFI=0.938, IFI=0.941,RMSEA=0.1). The SF-8 also had acceptable convergent validity.ConclusionThe present study is the first to confirm the traditional 2-factor structure of SF-8 using a large sample of Iranian older individuals. The results showed that the Iranian version of SF-8 is a reliable and valid tool for measuring HRQOL among Iranian older adults ( including diabetes and non-diabetes elderly).

“…Health was measured by the 8-item Short-form Health Survey Scale (SF-8), which analyzes the same eight health domains [ 36 ] as the Short-form Health Survey 36 (SF-36). The SF-8 is composed of eight questions which measure each domain of the SF36 [ 37 ]. All of the items were answered by the respondents on a five-point Likert scale ranging from 1 to 5.…”

Presenteeism not only poses an economic cost to organizations but also generates reduced work efficiency and quality. The purpose of this study was to examine the connections between occupational stress, public service motivation (PSM), health, and presenteeism. A total of 981 nurses from 109 public hospitals in Jilin Province in China were enrolled in our study. Model 5 in the PROCESS micro was employed in order to verify the mediating effect of PSM and the moderating effect of nurses’ health on the relationship between occupational stress and presenteeism, and simple slope analysis was used to further determine the moderating effect. Both challenge stress and hindrance stress had a positive impact on presenteeism among nurses. PSM is a mediating variable between occupational stress and presenteeism. Health moderates the path between challenge stress and presenteeism, with the association being significant for nurses with low levels of health. Future policy making should focus on preventing presenteeism by reducing excessive stress, enhancing PSM, and improving nurse health and wellness.

“…Individual-level factors included self-perceived health and wellness, as well as coping and mental health. These factors were measured using the Short Form-8 questionnaire to capture general health perceptions, the AUDIT scale to measure alcohol and recreational drug use, the Brief COPE to assess how participants deal with stressors, and the Patient Health Questionnaire to measure depression, anxiety, and somatic complaints [53][54][55][56][57][58]. The social-level factors included were perceived social support, measured using the Medical Outcomes Study Social Support Survey, HIV-associated stigma (internalized, enacted, and anticipated), measured using the Internalized AIDS-Related Stigma Scale and the HIV stigma framework, and disclosure concerns, measured using HIV stigma scale [59][60][61][62].…”

The Treatment Ambassador Program: A Highly Acceptable and Feasible Community-Based Peer Intervention for South Africans Living with HIV Who Delay or Discontinue Antiretroviral Therapy

We conducted a novel pilot randomized controlled trial of the Treatment Ambassador Program (TAP), an 8-session, peerbased, behavioral intervention for people with HIV (PWH) in South Africa not on antiretroviral therapy (ART). PWH (43 intervention, 41 controls) completed baseline, 3-and 6-month assessments. TAP was highly feasible (90% completion), with peer counselors demonstrating good intervention fidelity. Post-intervention interviews showed high acceptability of TAP and counselors, who supported autonomy, assisted with clinical navigation, and provided psychosocial support. Intentionto-treat analyses indicated increased ART initiation by 3 months in the intervention vs. control arm (12.2% [5/41] vs. 2.3% [1/43], Fisher exact p-value = 0.105; Cohen's h = 0.41). Among those previously on ART (off for > 6 months), 33.3% initiated ART by 3 months in the intervention vs. 14.3% in the control arm (Cohen's h = 0.45). Results suggest that TAP was highly acceptable and feasible among PWH not on ART.
