An evaluation of demographic differences in the utilization of a cancer information service
Utilization of a cancer telephone information facility
Utilization of a cancer telephone information facility: a comparison of callers and non-caller controls. G S Wilkinson, E A Mirand, D L Walsh, J L Wilson, and S GrahamCopyRight https://doi.org/10.2105/AJPH.68.12.1211 Published Online: October 07, 2011
Five year follow-up of a smoking withdrawal clinic population
Eight hundred volunteers who attended smoking clinics at Roswell Park Memorial Institute from 1964-1965 were followed up five years later to ascertain their current smoking status. From three waves of a mailed questionnaire, plus a telephone campaign, we obtained 559 usable responses. The relationship between smoking status at the five-year follow-up and clinic protocols and selected social and psychological characteristics as determined during t…
Measuring response to a cancer information telephone facility
In an attempt to meet the need for increasing public knowledge about cancer, a system providing free information by telephone has been developed. The system is comprised of 36 pre-recorded taped lectures containing information about various aspects of cancer. Interested individuals call a toll-free number, indicate a topic of interest, and listen to the pre-recorded lecture over the phone. An operator handles incoming calls and obtains informatio…
Isolation and Psychological Disorder
Isolation has been thought by many to exert an influence in the development of psychological disorders. However, empirical investigation has provided mixed results. This report presents data on the relationship between interpersonal isolation immediately prior to contact with a hospital and psychological disturbance as reported by psychiatric diagnosis. Significant association was found between presence of isolation, psychosis, and high disturban…

Social Psychological Dimensions of Resistance to Psychiatric Innovations
A pilot study was conducted in a large northeastern state mental hospital which attempted to isolate factors affecting staff resistance to innovations. Four social psychological variables: conservatism, dogmatism, machiavellianism, and faith in people were investigated. It was found that resistors scored higher on conservatism, dogmatism, and machiavellianism, and lower on faith in people than did acceptors. Such findings indicate that social psy…
Psychiatric Disorder Dramaturgically Considered
This paper reports the results of an investigation into the empirical applicability of conceptualizing mental illness as dramaturgic incompetence and a corresponding attempt to operationalize dramaturgical thought. It was found that dramaturgic incompetence and subsidiary components were strongly associated with degree of psychiatric disturbance and general diagnosis as determined by psychiatric staff. It also was found that attainment of psychia…
Interaction Patterns and Staff Response to Psychiatric Innovations
This paper reports selected results of an investigation of staff response to psychiatric innovations in a total institution. A sociometric analysis indicated that staff integration and acceptance were associated whereas staff disintegration was related to resistance. The head nurse of each treatment team investigated proved to be a crucial figure in determining the reaction of nursing personnel. These findings tend to support explanations of inno…
