22. Cross-cultural validation of a three-dimensional measurement model of performance anxiety in the context of Chinese sports.

Author

Kara Cheng, Wen-Nuan, Hardy, Lew, and Markland, David

Abstract

The article offers information about the cross-cultural validation of a three-dimensional measurement prototype of performance anxiety. It mentions that the re-conceptualization of performance anxiety highlights the adaptive capacity included in the aspects of anxiety by a regulatory dimension. Moreover, the measurement of performance anxiety was established in Chinese, based on the suggested conceptualization and its conform anxiety measure.

Abstract

OBJECTIVE: To examine the relation between performance on a dementia screening test and the demographic variables of age, education, gender, and urban vs rural residency. DESIGN: Community survey with cluster sampling. SETTING: One urban and one rural community from each of four geographic regions in Taiwan, Republic of China. PARTICIPANTS: A total of 5265 nondemented individuals approximately equally divided between men and women and between urban and rural residency with a range in age from 41 to 88 years and in education from 0 to 20 years. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURE: Score on a Chinese adaptation of the Mini-Mental State Examination.Results:Lower test scores were associated with older age and less education. The decrease in score with age was faster among participants who had never attended school. Better performance by men and by urban residents was found only among participants with fewer than 6 years of schooling. In this group, the magnitudes of sex and residency differences were comparable among those subjects aged 41 to 64 years and those aged 65 to 88 years. Women who had never worked outside of the home performed poorer than those who had worked outside of the home. CONCLUSIONS: The influence of educational background on test performance is most evident in individuals with less education. Commonly used dementia screening tests may be unfair to poorly educated individuals, especially women and rural residents. Efforts should be made to develop ecologically relevant cognitive tests for the intended study populations. To help distinguish test bias from different rates of cognitive decline, the study populations should include individuals in predementia age ranges.

Abstract

Background: To investigate the level of satisfaction of patients who received surgery for obstructive sleep apnea (OSA)., Methods: A patient satisfaction survey (PSS) was administered three months after surgery to 76 patients who received either a uvulopalatopharyngoplasty (UPPP) alone, or in combination with a septomeatoplasty (SMP), or a midline laser glossectomy (MLG). Patient satisfaction determinants were also explored., Results: In general, 93.4% of patients rated their overall satisfaction as "excellent" or "very good". High satisfaction levels (excellent + very good >/= 90%) were observed in the dimensions of "professional skill", "personal manner", and "explanation of condition". By contrast, lower satisfaction levels (excellent + very good< 90 %) were observed for "perioperative discomfort". There were no significant differences among the UPPP alone, UPPP + SMP, and UPPP +MLG groups for any dimension of satisfaction (p> 0.05). Older patients had decreased overall levels of satisfaction (adjust R (2) = 0.1, p = 0.02)., Conclusions: The preliminary results reveal a high overall level of satisfaction after surgery for OSA in this short-term survey. However, modest satisfaction with perioperative discomfort was also noted. Combined nasal or tongue base surgeries can be performed with patient satisfaction comparative to that of UPPP alone. Age may confound satisfaction levels in patients receiving OSA surgery.
