The second theory, the Social Judgement theory is largely reliant on a person being persuaded towards an alternative decision. This change of an idea uses the power of careful consideration of the other persons idea and so becomes a judgmental process (Chau, H.F et al., 2014). Social judgement theory can influence decision making because of different factors (William L. Benoit, 1999). The social judgment theory was developed by Sheriff, Sheriff and Nebergall to explain how people could be persuaded
I chose to use the Health Belief Model, borrowed from the behavioral sciences, which explain the health behavior of the individuals. According to Rosenstock (1988), Health Belief Model contains six constructs: 1) perceived susceptibility, 2) perceived severity, 3) perceived benefits, 4) perceived barriers, 5) cues to action, and 6) self-efficacy. Rosenstock, Strecher, and Becker (1994) describe perceived susceptibility as whether or not a person regards themselves as being susceptible to an illness
General information Birth control is also known as contraception or fertility control. These are methods to prevent pregnancy. There are a lot of methods of birth control, but I am only going to explain nine of them. Birth control is not only to prevent pregnancy when you don’t want it but (sometimes) it is also there to prevent STDs. STD stands for Sexually Transmitted Disease. Forms of STDs are: Chlamydia, Gonorrhea, Genital herpes, HIV/AIDS, Human Papillomavirus (HPV), syphilis, bacterial vaginosis
of injured blood vessels. This disorder is characterized by thrombocytopenia and large nonfunctional platelets (Pham,2007). Patients often present initially with bleeding symptoms such as purpua, epistaxis, ecchymosis, bleeding of the gums, and menorrhagia (Lanza,2006). Diagnosis is further confirmed by platelet aggregation studies and flow cytometry. Treatment is mainly supportive, such as, the use of DDAVP to shorten bleeding times, with more serious hemorrhages being treated with platelet transfusions
required for hemoglobin production. Anemia occurs when there is not enough hemoglobin and/or few red blood cells being produced in the body (Johnson-Wimbley, & Graham, 2011). Iron deficiency anemia is a disease that is caused by other diseases such as menorrhagia, gastrointestinal bleeding, peptic ulcer disease, and colorectal cancer. The prevalence of iron deficiency anemia is the highest in women of childbearing years and children (Johnson-Wimbley, & Graham, 2011). The demographics and patient population
Pharmacokinetics: Oral administration; When the drug gets administered observation of the movement of the drug portrayed that 15 to 41mg/ml reached maximum concentration in 0.85 to 1.25hours with the additional fact that taking in a high fat meal decreased the absorption rate. The half-life of the drug is 0.76 to 1.35 h, with the metabolism of the drug pilocarpine occurs in the neuronal synapses and probably in the plasma and then gets eliminated in the urine with minimal degradation occurring
Cupping is an ancient traditional therapeutic technique that has been practiced, for thousands of years and till now, particularly in East Asian countries [1]. In Egypt and Arabic countries, cupping therapy is known as "Al-Hijamah”. Hijamah is Arabic word which literary means “to do cupping”. The process of Hijamah is also locally known as applying seenghi because in the ancient period it was done by using cow horns or other hollow animal horns [2]. Recently, the number of followers of this traditional
In 1960, the first birth control pill was put on the market. This was the first time a woman’s reproductive health was in her own control. Ever since the 1900’s women have been fighting for the right to their own reproductive rights (“The Fight for Reproductive Rights”). With the upcoming presidential election the right to obtain birth control and other contraceptives for women could be jeopardized, and taken out of the control of the woman. Thus, the history of birth control, the statistics of how
