Machine Learning Approaches to Identify Physical, Psychological, and Social Predictors of Worsening Frailty Transitions Among Community‐Dwelling Older Adults
Sport fans’ curiosity and impulsive buying
Introduction Sports fans' curiosity and impulsive buying tendencies are important topics in sports marketing, yet the mediating role of social media use intensity in linking these variables remains underexplored. Grounded in the Stimulus-Organism-Response (S-O-R) theory, this study examines how social media use intensity mediates the relationship between sports fans' curiosity and impulsive buying behavior. Methods The study sampled 623 Taiwanese…
Effects of Online Video Sport Spectatorship on the Subjective Well-Being of College Students
Individuals' engagement in sports and sport-related entertainment is reported to improve their subjective well-being (SWB). We investigated whether online video sport spectatorship (OVSS) enhances the SWB of college students and whether sport involvement moderates the correlation between OVSS and SWB. For this, a pretest-posttest experimental design with a 3-week-long intervention (OVSS) was adopted. Two groups, intervention and control, were for…
Mediating Effects of Coping Strategies on the Relationship Between Mental Health and Quality of Life Among Indonesian Female Migrant Workers in Taiwan
INTRODUCTION: Mental health is a major concern among migrant workers worldwide. More than 200,846 female migrant workers in Taiwan are from Indonesia. The study's purpose was to investigate mediating effects of coping strategies on the relationship between mental health problems and the quality of life (QoL). METHOD: This cross-sectional study was conducted in Taiwan. In total, 500 Indonesian female migrant workers completed four questionnaires. …
Knowledge of and Barriers to Palliative Care Perceived by Healthcare Providers before and after Promotion of the Patient Autonomy Act
This study was designed to investigate healthcare providers' knowledge of palliative care and perceptions of palliative care barriers before and after promoting the Patient Autonomy Act (PAA). A convenience sample was recruited, including 277 healthcare providers in 2013 and 222 healthcare providers in 2018. Multivariate linear regression analyses were used to identify predictors of knowledge of and perceived barriers to palliative care. A princi…
Urinary Incontinence and Sleep Quality in Older Women with Type 2 Diabetes
One factor associated with UI (body mass index) is modifiable. UI severity is associated with sleep quality as the possible influence of night-time voiding frequency on sleep quality has been considered
A Pilot Study of Interactive-Video Games in People with Mild Cognitive Impairment
Early preventive strategies for improving cognitive function are crucial for people with mild cognitive impairment (MCI). Cognitive training exercises may improve cognitive functioning. However, there was limited evidence from training programs that combined cognitive-specific and physical activities, particularly in using interactive video games as interventions. This study aimed to evaluate the feasibility and effects of the interactive-video g…
Television watching, reading, cognition, depression and life satisfaction among middle‐aged and older populations
This retrospective cohort study aimed to identify heterogeneous cognition, depression, and life satisfaction trajectory groups, and to examine the independent contributions of watching television and reading to these trajectories among middle-aged and older adults. A sample was taken from the Taiwan Longitudinal Study on Aging (TLSA) with measures of cognition, depression, life satisfaction, watching television, and reading during 12 years of fol…
Associations of Genetic Variants of Methylenetetrahydrofolate Reductase and Serum Folate Levels with Metabolic Parameters in Patients with Schizophrenia
The one-carbon metabolism pathway is a suitable candidate for studying the genetic and epigenetic factors contributing to metabolic abnormalities in patients with schizophrenia. We recruited 232 patients with schizophrenia and analyzed their serum folate, vitamin B12, and homocysteine levels and metabolic parameters to investigate the associations of genetic variants of methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase ( MTHFR ) and folate levels with metaboli…
An Exploratory Study of the Association between Housing Price Trends and Antidepressant Use in Taiwan
This study examined the relationship between various economic indexes and incidences of antidepressant prescriptions during 2001-2011 using the National Health Insurance Research Database (NHIRD). As of 2007, approximately 98.4% of Taiwanese people were enrolled in the NHIRD. In total, 531,281 records identified as antidepressant prescriptions were collected. Furthermore, 2556 quarterly observations from the Taiwan Housing Index (THI) and Executi…
Reflective or impulsive buying or both? Evidence from the sport merchandise consumption context
We examined the effects of reflective and impulsive intentions on product purchasing in the sport merchandise context (specifically, basketball shoes), and investigated the moderating effects of a celebrity endorsement on these relationships. We used convenience sampling to collect data from 826 basketball game attendees in Taiwan. We conducted structural equation modeling with a 2-group overall path model for data analysis. The empirical results…
Family leisure and subjective well-being
We examined the relationship between family leisure and subjective well-being by exploring the type and timing of family leisure activities. We used convenience sampling to recruit 711 adolescents, and conducted a hierarchical linear regression and one-way analysis of variance for data analysis. Results showed that participants who were more involved in a high number of either core or balance family leisure activities had higher subjective well-b…
