Read More BACKGROUND: Students’ perception of their academic environment has a substantial influenceon their actions, academic accomplishments, satisfaction, goal attainment, and behavior. The studywas carried out to evaluate the perception of academic environment in physiotherapy students, andto identify the specific domains which could act as predictors of academic performance.MATERIALS AND METHODS: This descriptive, cross-sectional research was conductedover 12 months using total population sampling. Three hundred and forty-three (139 postgraduateand 204 final year) final year and postgraduate physiotherapy students from five colleges ofMumbai and Navi Mumbai, who conformed to the inclusion benchmarks, participated in the study.Perception of educational environment was evaluated using Dundee Ready Education EnvironmentMeasure (DREEM). Academic performance was evaluated using the percentage obtained in thelast university examination. Data were entered in MS Excel (©Microsoft, USA) and converted toStata Version 15.1© StataCorp, College Station, for further analysis. The mean values and standarddeviations for perception of educational environment were calculated and linear regression modelswere used to conduct multivariate analysis for each item in the questionnaire.RESULTS: The mean total DREEM score of physiotherapy students was 129.97 ± 22.72. Studentswhose Students’ Academic Self‑perception scores were in the “Feeling more on the positive side”category showed a 4.17 point increase in percentage scores as compared with those who reportedfeeling like a total failure/had many negative aspects to their academic self‑perception (95% confidenceinterval [CI]: 2.46, 5.89; P < 0.001). Students whose Students’ Perception of Learning (SPoL) scoreswere in the “Teaching highly thought of” category showed a 2.75 point increase in percentage scoresas compared with those who viewed teaching poorly/negatively (95% CI: 0.44, 5.06; P = 0.02).CONCLUSION: Physiotherapy students had a “more positive than negative” view of the academicenvironment; however, a few “problematic areas” need to be remediated. Efforts to improve students’academic self-perception may improve their academic performance since this was the strongestpredictor of their academic performance, followed by total DREEM scores and SPoL.

Read More Background and Aim: Adolescents’ overweight problems have been paid much attention dueto their significant increase in recent decades in developed countries. Poor eating patternssubsequently affect their self‑efficacy and self‑concept. Therefore, paying attention to thenutritional knowledge of overweight students in this period is essential. This study examines therelationship between self‑efficacy, self‑concept, and nutritional knowledge of overweight studentsin the city of Isfahan. Materials and Methods: The 140 overweight students who participated inthis descriptive, analytical study with were randomly selected from one of five areas of Isfahancity in the year 2011‑2012. Questionnaires for data collection in this study included demographicform, nutrition knowledge, Cooper Smith self‑esteem, and general self‑efficacy questionnaire.Data were analyzed by ANOVA, regression, and Pearson’s correlation coefficient with statisticalpackage in social sciences version 18. Results: There was a significant correlation betweenwhole nutritional knowledge and self‑efficacy (r = 0.29, P > 0.001) and self‑concept (r = 0.26,P = 0.002). There was a significant correlation between self‑efficacy and self‑concept (r = 0.3,P = 0.001). Furthermore, in the selection of food section there was no significant correlation with theself‑concept (r = 0.147, P = 0.083). Regression analysis between self‑concept, self‑efficacy, familydimension, father’s education, mother’s education, father’s occupation, mother’s occupationaand income with nutrition knowledge showed that these eight variables explain 17.7% of thevariance in health behaviors totally. Conclusion: By conducting this study, and revealing the directrelationship between nutritional knowledge, self‑concept, and self‑efficacy, we could concludethat if nutritional knowledge of overweight students is promoted, this factor would lead to anincrease their self‑concept and self‑efficacy in order to adopt healthy behaviors and have theexpected healthy eating and healthy life‑style.
