Conflicts of interest (COI) are an ethical issue for financial planners because they impair professional judgment if not addressed. This article describes a quantitative, cross-sectional study of COI recognition in pending engagements and measuring the influence of time in practice and financial planning credentials upon recognition. Participants were 51 graduates of the M.S. degree from the College for Financial Planning. Participants were asked three questions regarding each of the six hypothetical situations of pending financial planning engagements. Each question provided an indicator of COI recognition. Time in practice and financial planning credentials were used as influence factors upon COI recognition. Results indicated high COI recognition involving role conflict and low recognition with family members as clients. Time in practice was related to increased COI recognition involving role conflict. Financial planning credentials were related to increased COI recognition with a business associate as client.

Abstract Background: Health Surveillance Assistants (HSAs) are community-based health workers in Malawi, responsible for health services delivery at the community level. The prevalence of high role stressors among health surveillance assistants (HSAs) is a very important issue to strengthen the delivery of the essential health package at the community level; however, data on the prevalence of these role stressors to help understand more about the role stressors among HSAs is unavailable. This study aimed to investigate the prevalence of role stressors and its associated factors among HSAs. Methods: A cross-sectional study design was used in this study to collect data from January 2017 to December 2017. Data were collected from 430 HSAs from the districts of Mangochi, Lilongwe and Mzimba using a self-administered structured questionnaire was hand delivered to a total of 455 HSAs (response rate of 94.5%). Role ambiguity and role conflict was measured using a 13-item Rizzo et al. role conflict and ambiguity (RCA) scale; role overload was measured using a 9-item Reilly role overload scale and the job tasks for HSAs were measured using Burgal et al. modified version of the task inventory scale. Factors for role stressors were analyzed using the principal component analysis (PCA) and multiple linear regression model. Results: Of the respondents 3% had high risk for RA, 51.20% RC and 49% RO. Role stressors are prevalent among HSAs in Malawi. HSAs who were resident in rural areas, female, and performing additional clinical roles experienced significant levels of role stressors. Interestingly, no statistically significant associations were found between role stressors and the years at service post, age and the district of work. Conclusion: This is the first study of occupational role stressors in Malawi. Role stressors are prevalent among HSAs. Interventions aimed at improving supervision, training and task regulation by an independent regulatory body may support to reduce role stressors among HSAs.

Background: Although female sexual function can be affected by many psychological, interpersonal, and sociocultural factors, limited studies have focused on the relationships between this construct with some concepts such as women’s attitudes toward menstruation and perception from their gender role. Objective: To investigate the association between gender roles and attitude toward menstruation with sexual function among Iranian reproductive women. Materials and Methods: An observational cross-sectional study was carried out on a group of 164 Iranian women referred to the health centers of Torbat Heydariyeh, between August and December 2018. All eligible women filled the female sexual function index (FSFI), Bem Sex Role Inventory, and Menstrual Attitude Questionnaire. Results: The result showed that the total FSFI score was significantly higher in masculine and androgynous gender role groups than women with undifferentiated gender role (p = 0.014, and p = 0.012, respectively). Nevertheless, androgynous women had better sexual arousal than undifferentiated women (p = 0.013). Significant reverse correlations were observed between the perception of menstruation as a debilitating, bothersome, and predictable event with a total score of FSFI and all subscales except lubrication (p = 0.001). In contrast, there was a positive relationship between denial of any effects of menstruation with total FSFI and all its sub-scores except lubrication (p = 0.001). Conclusion: This study highlighted the role of masculinity and androgyny gender role stereotypes and menstrual attitude in the sexual function of heterosexual women. Future studies are needed to explain how these psychological contexts contribute to different aspects of women’s sexuality. Key words: Menstruation, Gender roles, Sexual behavior.

Seasonal changes will have an impact on the lives of fishermen’s families, especially the economic sector. Changes in the sea and non-sea seasons have an impact on family cooperation in survival. These effects will be seen in the gender role of husband and wife in solving problems in fishermen’s families. This study aims to analyze the effect of gender roles and coping strategies on fishermen’s family happiness index. The study design used a cross-sectional study with interviews and questionnaire assistance. The research sample was selected by purposive sampling with respondents of 40 fishermen’s families in the Toboali District, Bangka Belitung Islands Province. The gender role variables, coping strategies, and fishermen’s family happiness index are in the medium category. There is a correlation between coping strategies with the happiness index of fishermen’s families. The number of family members shows a significant negative effect on the happiness index in the sea and non-sea seasons. Meanwhile, coping strategies present a significant positive effect on the happiness index of fishermen’s families in the sea and non-sea seasons.

Women’s partners may act as facilitators of professional help-seeking for mental health problems in the postpartum period. This study aimed to examine the sociodemographic and clinical correlates of men’s intentions to recommend professional help-seeking to their partners if they display postpartum mood and anxiety disorders and to explore the relationship between gender-role conflict and the intention to recommend help-seeking. A cross-sectional study included 214 adult men in a heterosexual relationship with a partner within the reproductive age. Men presented a high intention to recommend professional help to their partners. All dimensions of gender-role conflict were directly associated with the intention to recommend professional help-seeking (p < 0.05). High levels of gender-role conflict (dimensions success, power and competition, and restricted emotionality) were found to lead to increased levels of stigma and lower levels of intention to seek professional help, which, in turn, translated into lower intention to recommend help-seeking. These results emphasize the importance of developing universal awareness-raising and education campaigns directed at men aiming to reduce levels of gender-role conflict and stigma, and normalize the use of mental health services, to increase men’s intentions to recommend professional help-seeking to their partners.

Introduction: Job stress plays an important role in the maintenance of organizational performance. A key aspect of job stress is increased workload, role conflict, poor job control, lack of support from coworkers and interpersonal conflict. Most studies in the field of job stress have focused on private sectors. The objective of this study was to assess the job stress among non-teaching staff at government teaching hospital. Methods: The present cross-sectional study was carried out in a government teaching hospital in central India between Jan 2020 to March 2020 among 90 participants purposively chosen for the study. New Job Stress Scale was used to assess the extent of stress among the participants. Approval from Institutional Ethical Committee was obtained before commencing the study. Data was analyzed by SPSS version 20 for percentages, mean and standard deviation. Results: A moderate level of stress affects 47.78 percent of participants. The present study found that most problematic dimensions of job stress variables were dimension of role conflict with as many as 51% of participants had experience role expectation conflict. Conclusion: We can infer from this finding that we need to have formal job description written for their non-teaching staff so that their role should be clear and unambiguous.

Abstract Background: Health Surveillance Assistants (HSAs) are community-based health workers in Malawi, responsible for health services delivery at the community level. They are reported to be overloaded in their work, and anecdotal evidence suggests they are stressed. The purpose of this study was to explore the role stressors among the HSAs with the view to identify factors for role stressors and suggest some measures for the effective management of the HSAs to alleviate the problem of role stressors. Methods: A descriptive cross-sectional study design and multistage stage sampling were used in this study. Data were collected from 430 HSAs from the districts of Mangochi, Lilongwe and Mzimba. A self-administered questionnaire was hand delivered to a total of 455 HSAs with a response rate of 94.5%. The data collected were analyzed with the aid of the computer software package Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS) version 23. Statistics used for the analysis included: Mean, Standard Deviation, correlations and principal component analysis (PCA). Results: The key findings of this study are that role ambiguity ( r = -.238, P< 0.001) and role overload ( r =-.159, P< 0.01) were significantly negatively related to job satisfaction, while role conflict ( r = -.004, P= 0.472) was insignificantly related to job satisfaction. Additionally, the HSAs curative role was negatively related to role ambiguity ( r = -.108, P= 0.013) and positively related to role conflict ( r = .118, P= 0.008) and role overload ( r = .105, P= 0.015) while the HSAs overall preventive task was positively related to role overload. Conclusion: Since the HSAs clinical tasks were significantly related to all role stressors there is need by the government of Malawi to design strategies to control the role stressors to ensure increased job performance and job satisfaction among HSAs. Keywords : Relationship, role ambiguity, role conflict, role overload, job satisfaction, role stressors
