Aim: To explore the reported diet of Australians with chronic pain and their perceived role of food within their pain experience. Methods: A cross-sectional study of 50 participants reporting chronic pain was undertaken using pain and nutritional questionnaires as well as anthropometric measures. Results: Participants rated their diet between ‘good’ and ‘excellent' (76%) and one that promoted well-being (62%), however 74% were overweight or obese (average BMI 30) with multiple co-morbidities. There was no correlation between measures of dietary adherence and knowledge with reported pain. Conclusion: Participants generally reported their diets to be good, however, this was not reflected in their habitual diet. There was a low perceived role of food altering pain perception.

Abstract Background The COVID-19 pandemic as a global mental health crisis has affected everyone, including students. The present study aimed to determine and investigate the relationship between health locus of control and perceived stress in students of Bushehr University of Medical Sciences (southern Iran) during the outbreak of COVID-19. Methods The present cross-sectional study examined 250 students of Bushehr University of Medical Sciences. We performed simple random sampling and utilized the demographic information form, Multidimensional Health Locus of Control scale (MHLCS) by Wallston, and Perceived Stress Scale (PSS) by Cohen to collect data. We analyzed data using the SPSS, Pearson correlation coefficient, and the hierarchical regression model with an error level of 5%. Results The mean perceived stress was 30.74 ± 8.09, and 92.4% of the students had moderate and high stress levels. Among the components of the health locus of control, the internal health locus of control (IHLC) had the highest mean in students (27.55 ± 3.81). Furthermore, the internal health locus of control (R = − 0.30, P < 0.001) had a significant inverse relationship, with perceived stress and the chance health locus of control (CHLC) (R = 0.30, P < 0.001) had a significant direct relationship. In the final regression model, the health locus of control and all the variables predicted 22.7% of the perceived stress variation in students during the COVID-19 period. Conclusion The results indicated that the internal health locus of control was associated with a reduction of perceived stress, and the powerful others health locus of control (PHLC) was related to its increase in students during the COVID-19 pandemic. Given the uncertain future, in the present work, universities are suggested to design web-based educational interventions alongside the curriculum to further strengthen the internal health locus of control and thus help reduce their perceived stress.

Background: Medication non-adherence is an important healthcare issue and a common problem. Many predictors of non-adherence have been found in different settings and cohorts.Objective: Evaluate the impact of the health locus of control (HLC) on unintentional/intentional non-adherence in primary care.Methods: In this observational, cross-sectional study, 188 patients (mean age 63.3 ± 14.9 years) were recruited from three primary care practices in Jena, Germany, over 4 months. The study assessed demographic data, self-reported adherence (German Stendal adherence to medication score, SAMS), HLC, and depression.Results: According to the SAMS total score, 44 (27.5%) were fully adherent, 93 (58.1%) were moderately non-adherent, and 23 (14.4%) were clinically significantly non-adherent. The most common reasons for non-adherence were forgetting to take the medication or lacking knowledge about the prescribed medication. Multiple linear regression revealed that adherence was good in people with external HLC and poor in internal HLC. In particular, intentional non-adherence was positively associated with internal HLC and negatively with fatalistic external HLC. Depression had a negative influence on both intentional and unintentional non-adherence.Conclusion: HLC is an independent predictor of medication non-adherence and is a promising target for interventions that enhance adherence.

AbstractIntroductionEvidence suggests that the quality of family relationships is associated with health locus of control in family members. The present study aimed to determine the correlation between the health locus of control and adolescent-parent attachment.Materials and MethodsIn this descriptive, analytical cross-sectional study, at each of these 10 schools, 40 students aged 14 and 15, will be randomly selected among Behbahan middle schools. 400 students were selected. Rotters Locus of Control Scale and the Inventory of Parent and Peer Attachment (IPPA) were used for data collection. Data were analyzed using SPSS software and Pearson correlation coefficient, t-test and ANOVA statistical techniques.ResultsFindings showed that the mean and standard deviation of attachment level to father (95.97±19.66), mother (99.62±15.60) friends (93.78±17.59) were all high. Between source of health control (intrinsic, affective, and luck), parental attachment and peers have predictive power (beta=0.263, p≤0.001).ConclusionAccording to the findings, to increase attachment to parents, it is better that Intervention should also be carried out on the father and the mother and health Locus control will be increased.
