This study assessed the effectiveness of a planned school health awareness program on adolescents' knowledge and practice of healthy lifestyles. Fifty adolescents completed pre- and post-tests assessing their knowledge and self-reported practices. The program significantly improved adolescents' mean knowledge scores from 7.06 to 11.72 and practice scores from 23.7 to 27.38. There was a significant positive correlation between improvements in knowledge and practice. The study concluded the program was effective in improving adolescents' knowledge and practice of healthy lifestyles.

Hospital and Healthcare System Strategic Planning and Financial ForecastingAxiom EPM
Given the level of uncertainty in the healthcare industry and all of the external factors that impact healthcare provider organizations today, strategic planning has become an increasingly complex function. The process is no longer a simple financial forecasting exercise. Instead, it has evolved into a more integrated financial and operational planning activity that touches the entire organization. The process of defining a multi-year financial forecast is now predicated on the modeling of individual business initiatives focused on cost reduction or revenue growth. These slides present four factors vital to establishing more agile strategic planning models. You'll learn techniques to incorporate financial and service line-based analytics to enable efficient ‘what-if’ modeling, scenario analysis and initiative-based modeling and tracking.

Impacts of Mentor’s Strategic Communication on Adjustment Problems among Adol...Arun Varghese
ABSTRACT Introduction: Adolescence is the period of rapid changes in physical and mental state. Rapid storm of physiological changes brigs a great deal of stress and adjustment difficulties. It represents one of the critical transitions in the life span with a wide range of adjustment and mental health problems. The present study is aimed to assess the impact of Mentor’s Strategic Communication on adjustment problems among adolescents. Methodology: A quasi experimental non-equivalent control group design was chosen to assess the impact of Mentor’s Strategic Communication by using Self developed Adjustment Inventory among 60 adolescents (30 each experimental and control group) with mild and moderate adjustment problems at selected schools, Kerala. The Samples were selected based on simple random sampling. Appropriate descriptive & inferential statistics was applied to compute the results. Results: Finding reveals that out of 30 students, 70% reported moderate adjustment problems while 30% were in mild adjustment issues in experimental group. There was a significant difference for adjustment problems among experimental and control group after Mentor’s strategic communication (p<0.001). Further, number of siblings (p<0.032) and education status of father (p<0.008) found significant association to adjustment problems among schools going adolescents. Conclusion: The results of the study revealed that majority of adolescents face adjustment problems and Mentor’s strategic communication had significant impact on improvement in adjustment problems. A planned and timely infusion of mentorship strategy may help them to deal with their day to day adjustment problems and help them to focus in studies in a better way.

Evaluation of the Quality of Life for Parents and Caregivers of Adults with I...Remedypublications1
The quality of life is an important component in the development of target interventions related
to the inclusion of families in the wider social community. The goal of this research was to test the
degree of the quality of life for parents and custodians of adults with intellectual disabilities as a
whole and by domains and to check the relationship of the quality of life and socio-demographic
features of the participants in this research. Forty parents of adults with intellectual disability took
part in the study. A convenience sample from the area of the city of Zagreb and the Zagreb County
was used in referential centres and associations caring for adult with intellectual disabilities older
than 21 years of age. For the purpose of this study, we have used the Personal Wellbeing Index for
the evaluation of the quality of life and welfare of parents and custodians of persons with intellectual
disabilities. The results of the research indicate that the perceived quality of life of the parents does
not deviate from the values that can be found in the healthy population. Parents have also evaluated
the quality of life of their children and the result has shown that they are moderately satisfied. There
is a major connection between the evaluation of the quality of life of the parents and their evaluation
of the quality of life of their children. The more satisfied parents are with their quality of life, i.e.
the better they estimate their personal welfare, the better are the evaluations for the quality of life
of their children. The research results point that there is no statistically significant difference in the
evaluation of the quality of life between the groups that differ with regard to: gender, inclusion in the
physical activity and presence of other disabilities.

Abstract
Objective: The objective of this study was to identify factors influencing eating behavior of Ecuadorian adolescents - from
the perspective of parents, school staff and adolescents - to develop a conceptual framework for adolescents’ eating
behavior.
Study design: Twenty focus groups (N = 144 participants) were conducted separately with adolescents aged 11–15 y (n
(focus groups) = 12, N (participants) = 80), parents (n = 4, N = 32) and school staff (n = 4, N = 32) in rural and urban Ecuador.
A semi-structured questioning route was developed based on the ‘Attitude, Social influences and Self-efficacy’ model and
the socio-ecological model to assess the relevance of behavioral and environmental factors in low- and middle-income
countries. Two researchers independently analyzed verbatim transcripts for emerging themes, using deductive thematic
content analysis. Data were analyzed using NVivo 8.
Results: All groups recognized the importance of eating healthily and key individual factors in Ecuadorian adolescents’ food
choices were: financial autonomy, food safety perceptions, lack of self-control, habit strength, taste preferences and
perceived peer norms. Environmental factors included the poor nutritional quality of food and its easy access at school. In
their home and family environment, time and convenience completed the picture as barriers to eating healthily. Participants
acknowledged the impact of the changing socio-cultural environment on adolescents’ eating patterns. Availability of
healthy food at home and financial constraints differed between settings and socio-economic groups.
Conclusion: Our findings endorse the importance of investigating behavioral and environmental factors that influence and
mediate healthy dietary behavior prior to intervention development. Several culture-specific factors emerged that were
incorporated into a conceptual framework for developing health promotion interventions in Ecuador.

calculated to test the hypotheses independent t test was calculated to assess the significance between selected
demographic variables and pre-test scores.
VII. Results:
Findings related to demographic data: There was 62% students were below 16 years and 38% were above the
age of 16 years of age. Maximum students (60%) were ≤10th
. Majority of students were (54%) male. 84%
students were belongs to rural area. Maximum students (70%) were having family members’ ≥4. Majority of
students (78%) were belongs to Hindu religion. Most of student’s father (80%) was literate and (60%) mothers
were literate. About the number of elder siblings (50%-50%) students had ≤1 and ≥2 elder siblings in their
family. Related to monthly income majority of students (72%) had family monthly income ≤10,000. Maximum
student’s father (94%) was nonprofessional occupation. Majority of student’s mother (82%) were housewife. A
large number of students (94%) informed that they had information about healthy life habits. Only (58%)
students informed that source of information were parents and friends. The mean of the post-test knowledge
score (11.72±3.26) was found to be higher than the mean of the pre-test knowledge scores (7.06±2.17) (Table1)
and for practice the mean of the post-test practice score (27.38±3.48) was also found to be higher than the mean
of the pre-test practice score (23.7±3.95) (Table 2) Area wise post-test knowledge score of adolescents was
found significantly higher than their mean pre-test knowledge score (Figure 1) Area wise post-test practice score
of adolescents was found significantly higher than their mean pre-test practice score(Figure 2) Independent t
test significant at the level of p<0.05 at df (48) tabulated t value was 2.02, there was no association between the
pre-test knowledge score and selected variables such as age, class, gender, residential area, number of family
member, religion, education status of father, education status of mother, number of elder siblings in the family,
monthly income of family, occupation status of father, occupation status of mother, information about healthy
habits, and source of information and there was no association between the pre-test practice score and selected
variables such as age, class, residential area, number of family member, religion, education status of mother,
number of elder siblings in the family ,occupation status of father, occupation status of mother, monthly income
of family, information about healthy habits, and source of information except gender and education status of the
father, Hence the researcher failed to reject the null hypothesis at 0.05 level of Significance. There was linear
correlation between gain in knowledge and gain in practice score of adolescents about healthy lifestyle. For each
domain, as t calculated value for each domain was more than t tabulated value for degree of freedom 49=2.02
that was significant at the level of p<0.05
VIII. Conclusion
Prior to the implementation of Planned School Health Awareness Programme, students had little
knowledge about healthy lifestyle: its effectiveness was evaluated by post-test scores; The mean of the post-test
knowledge score had improved from (7.06 ± 2.17) to (11.72 ± 3.26) was found to be higher than the mean of
the pre-test knowledge scores and the mean of the post-test practice score had also improved from (23.7 ± 3.95)
to (27.38 ± 3.48) after the implementation of Planned School Health Awareness Programme, which shows the
effectiveness of awareness programme. An intervention The study was conducted by K. Malleshappa, et al.,(
