The study aims to investigate factors influencing incivility behaviors in nursing causing high turnover rates by examining and reviewing the causes of incivility behaviors, also to discuss the available effective strategies that can help reduce incivility behavior in nursing.

This theory is founded on the premises that human behavior is a consequence of intellectual thinking. Reasoned Action Theory deals with the relationship among 1) Beliefs 2) Attitudes 3) Intentions 4) Behaviors. The main contribution of the Theory of Reasoned Action (TRA) is the proposition that attitude does not determine behavior directly; instead attitude is seen as one of two antecedent factors, attitudes and subjective norms, that determine intention, which in turn determines behavior (Ajzen and Madden, 1986).

Religion is a crucial aspect of any given society because at most, it defines the people’s way of life. It defines the norms and values of a particular society. This norms and values are then regarded as cultural beliefs, African culture and religion is so diverse; there is about 3,000 ethnic and linguistic group and about 54 countries in Africa. Within this African country, Nigeria happens to stand out because it is a multi-lingual country with about 520 ethnic group and diverse traditional religions and cultures. They major ethnic groups in Nigeria includes; Igbo, Hausa, Yoruba, and Edo (Naija.ng). But for the purposes of this article, the focus will be in the Igbo ethnic group of Nigeria.

From a Sociological Perspective childhood and youth is studied in many different perspectives the word youth is defined by many sociologists as a transition between childhood and adulthood as well as adolescence. Sociologists study children and youth based on the way a child is raised, the economic status they stand in, as well as individuals that surround them, institutions that help them develop as they grow and systems they tend to use in adolescent age like the media. This can be seen in four different parts social construction, intersectionality, self/identity and symbolic interaction. As we grow older society and what we see growing up tends to stick with us and we learn from that because we believe that’s the way we are supposed to be

The lack of water is a deciding factor on the amount of people that can be supported in a local region. Since the location of most Igbo tribes is far away from a river and precipitation in most of Africa is low throughout the year, this forces the Igbo people to adopt a tribal culture. It's hard

The motherhood process involves a progression of stages beginning at gestation and eventually leading to child rearing (Cranley, 1981). There are a number processes that enable a mother to have a more efficient transition from the gestation period to the beginning phases of infancy (Stern & Stern, 1998; Winnicott, 1956). One of the aforementioned stages is a theory conceptualized by Daniel Stern (1995) called the “motherhood constellation.” The “motherhood constellation” is a unique mindset held by the mother prior to the infant’s arrival and is sustained through motherhood. This mindset places the mother’s main focus on her new identity and journey, preparing her emotionally and psychologically. Another stage involved in preparing the mother

Vaccination against influenza is the most important intervention used by public health to prevent unnecessary hospitalization and death among high risk populations. In order to create a program one must understand the target group. Therefore, the study would be conducted on the group of people who are particularly at high risk of getting the flu or those who are less likely to receive medical care. Questions would be asked to determine their greatest needs and what can be done to improve the health of the community. To understand the needs of these individuals, a discussion will take place with community and social service staff that work directly with the high risk populations. This study would be conducted using qualitative and quantitative

The health seeking behaviour of a community determines how health services are used and in turn the health outcomes of populations .Factors that determine health behaviour may be physical, socio-economic, cultural or political .Indeed, the utilization of a health care system may depend on educational levels, economic factors, cultural beliefs and practices. Other factors include environmental conditions, socio-demographic factors, knowledge about the facilities, gender issues, political environment, and the health care system itself .Several factors can determine the choice of health care providers that patients use. These include factors associated with the potential providers (such as quality of service and area of expertise) and those that relate to the patients themselves (such as age, education levels, gender, and economic status) .

I chose to apply the Health Belief Model to my current Public Health issue of Opioids and Heroin: Drug treatment for individuals suffering from chronic pain and become addicted to prescription medication. I chose three health interventions to apply to my current Public Health issue. Opioid withdrawal may be difficult and is the primary reason for prescription drug abuse and relapse. The most effective treatment for narcotic addiction its methadone, a long-acting opioid. Methadone activates the same opioid receptors as other narcotics and eliminates withdrawal symptoms effectively. When the proper dosage of methadone is administered, opioid withdrawal symptoms are prevented, as well as the drug cravings, without the euphoria. The dose can

In our society, medical conditions are treated with medications and routine doctors ' checkups. On the other hand, the challenges encountered by humans in the course of their lives are being classified as medical conditions on a very large scale. Sociologists study those social processes that lead a particular life challenge to be identified as a medical condition to be treated. For instance, pregnancy and childbirth have become a life challenge for women, and as a consequence, they have been medicalized. In every country, the percentage the percentage of childbirth through cesarean delivery or with epidural varies. In the United States this percentages are considerably high. In fact, pregnancy and childbirth are considered almost like a disease

In this assignment I will discuss the role of the midwife. The roles that a midwife carries out include social, emotional and physical factors. Social factors include the community where the midwife works or where the pregnant woman is from. Emotional factors include the good and bad feelings, thoughts and communication between the midwife and the pregnant woman, her partner and family. Physical factors include palpation and bodily examinations of the pregnant woman.

The Ibo (Igbo) are a gathering of people who are located in Nigeria. They are one of the largest ethnic group of people in Africa. They have an exceptionally complex society with an extensive variety of social and religious convictions and practices. They maintain strict laws, which are to be obeyed at all times, and any individuals who would test or overstep the laws are brought before the divine beings to get their judgment and discipline. These disciplines range from offering an installment to a divine being in cowries or creature penances to expulsion from the group. In the paper I will be discussing the Igbo baby naming ceremony. The naming of a child is assumed to be a noteworthy part in the lives of individuals in the general public.

As women, we always desire to have good health, but unfortunately, we never pay attention to the alerting signs produced in our bodies. Women are more prompt to illnesses; one of the reason is because we prefer to take care of the entire family instead of taking care of ourselves. For women, children are our primarily concern and their wellbeing. For us, it is a privilege be the last one on the list of priorities. Unfortunately, we have to face the consequences of our bad decisions sooner or later. Nowadays, we count with many organizations, institutions and programs, and they do care for our health. Even though, they defend our rights, we still tend to ignore all those services, and when we are interested in getting assistance,

The core assumptions of the Health Belief Model (HBM) are based on the premise that a person will develop a health behavior and is willing to take action to avoid the occurrence of the disease. Furthermore, the person needs to believe that they have the possibility of developing the disease, that they can avoid the disease, that the cost of the change outweighs the benefit and that the person can effectively implement the recommended behavior. Furthermore, the major concepts of the HBM are perceived severity, perceived benefit, perceived barriers, cues to action and self-efficacy (de Chesnay and Anderson, 2016, p. 155-156).

The term Research Methodology refers to a set of procedures, methods & techniques that are put together by the researchers to obtain a solution to the problems they confront during the collection of data. The researchers look for the most crucial data which is inevitable for the research. Generally there are three kinds of approaches or research methods namely Qualitative, Quantitative and Mixed. These methods are used to gather data and resolve issues that emerge during the process of data gathering. The researcher can bring forward his findings either in the form of quantitative or qualitative or mixed research methodologies only when the data is collected based on the preliminary data gathering process and the secondary data gathering process.
