eating styles, self-efficacy, body weight, and nutrition knowledge, and their
predictive power over dietary intention and behavior. The study used a mailed
survey and a convenience sample of 78 middle-aged working adults.
Hierarchical regression of the cognitive model explained 65% of the variance
in intention and 58% in behavior. Self-efficacy (beta = .67) and being on a
special diet (beta = .24) were the significant predictors of intention whereas
intention (beta = .53) and being on a special diet (beta = .22) were the
significant predictors of behavior. Logistic regression of self-knowledge as
healthy eater showed self-efficacy, nutrition knowledge, enjoyment of food,
and self-perception as overweight to be significant predictors (p < .01).
When counseling individuals about diet, nurses must assess how their clients
view their eating habits and body weight, and must tailor the intervention to
those self-beliefs. Noureddine, S. Prediction of PTSD depression and health status in
Lebanese prisoners of war The study assesses the effect of captivity in Khiam
detention camp on the psychological and physical health. The role of
mediating factors, such as social support, resources and social class, are
investigated. The sample consisted of 118 prisoners released between 1990 and
1996. Beck Depression Inventory, the Harvard Trauma, General Health and
life-satisfaction questionnaires were used. A comparison group from the
prisoners' neighbors, matched for age and sex, was also investigated.
Preliminary results showed that POW's had a significant level of distress,
especially those reporting physical and psychological torture. The role of
moderating factors is discussed. Saab, B., L. Farhood, M. Chaaya, and M.
Dumit. War trauma and women: Predisposition and vulnerability
to physical and psychological health outcomes This paper presents the findings of three studies, and
assesses the impact of stressful life events (particularly war) with their
subsequent health outcomes on women. Results show that women were more prone
to depression and PTSD. Findings point to the need of providing mental health
strategies and programs for those at risk. This paper appeared in Women
