Graduate learners receiving their DNP degree within an online learning program not only require information from their studies, but also critical interpersonal strategies for interacting with colleagues, peers, and patients/clients. It is integral to create an environment using a critically reflective stance in online teaching in order to better engage and evaluate these learners on both of these important aspects of their education.\r\nProspective learners in advanced practice nursing are evaluated for admission using specific criteria examining readiness for graduate school involving a combination of academic and personal characteristics. These include things such as the prospective learner\'s background and training in the specific content area, their interpersonal skills relative to the area of specialization in which they seek to earn a degree, and other key behaviors or indicators central to training in their specialization. In addition, they are evaluated for their specific readiness to do an online degree program because such programs require familiarity with Internet-based technologies.

The gendered division of child care in the family remains unequal between husbands and wives in China. Using data from the China Health and Nutrition Survey, the research examines how child care time is divided differently between husband and wife in urban and rural sectors, and how these divisions are influenced by factors such as one’s own or spouse’s employment status, educational achievement, and earnings. The relative resources theory, “doing gender” perceptive, as well as the gender attitudes model were used to explain gender differentials in child care among urban and rural families. The results showed that the relative resources theory explains the pattern of the gendered division of child care in rural sectors but cannot account for the patterns in urban sectors. Instead, patterns in urban women’s child care time were more consistent with a “doing gender” perspective. Although the gendered division of child care was more equal among urban couples than rural couples, the gender gap in child care was widening in the urban sector but narrowing in the rural sector over the study period.

Statement of the Problem: Job satisfaction is an essential factor in achieving individual and collective goals. Job satisfaction surveys are a useful tool to evaluate the perception of professionals and to detect improvement areas. Aim: Identifying dimensions with the greatest impact on health staff job satisfaction, evaluating their evolution over time and selecting the most sensitive monitoring indicators to detecting changes. Methodology & Theoretical Orientation: Two cross-sectional studies were conducted in 2013 and 2016. The population studied was the staff of a chronic hospital in Valencia (Spain) (n2013=313; n2016=312). The assessment tool used was the Corporate Osakidetza Satisfaction Survey, based on the EFQM Excellence Model, developed and validated by the Basque Health Service for the evaluation and improvement of people’s job satisfaction in public utility companies. Predictive variables were socio-demographic characteristics and professionals ratio with excellent perception of the organizational variables that define Job Satisfaction. Outcome variable was high job satisfaction, defined as a score ≥ 75th percentile. The association between variables was quantified by Odds Ratio. Findings: Mean job satisfaction was 7 in both studies, being a poor indicator of change. The highest rated aspects in both surveys were healthcare quality and relationship with supervisor, and the worst were hospital management perception and recognition. In the stratified analysis, socio-demographic variables had little significance, while an excellent perception in some of the considered dimensions, was associated with high job satisfaction. The most strongly associated aspects were communication, working environment and training. In the comparative study, indicators based on individual dimensions detected changes better than the assessment of overall satisfaction. Conclusion & Significance: The choice of appropriate indicators optimizes the information obtained through job satisfaction surveys. According to our results, graphical representation of the percentage of satisfied professionals for each of the analyzed dimensions is the best indicator to detecting changes.

Jang Bahadur Prasad has his expertise in Statistical Computations, Analysing large scale data, Sampling Survey, Multilevel analysis, Nutrition, Public Health and Mortality, and Epidemiology. I am involving in the research field from last seven year. Though, I did three master namely Master of Science (M.Sc.) in Health Statistics, Master of Population Studies and Master of Philosophy in Population Studies. Now, I am pursuing Ph.D. entitled “descriptive method for the estimation of outcomes of a particular stochastic exposure and its empirical application with tobacco as an exposure” from International Institute for Population Sciences, Mumbai, India. ‘Projections of burden of tobacco related cancers: A new approach for measuring incidence cases for India and its states - Till 2025’ is one of my objective from the PhD work.

Cancer has emerged as an important public health problem in India also as a result of control of infectious diseases and resultant increase in life expectancy during second half of last century. Tobacco use is a measure contributor to the cancer burden which is preventable. It accounts for around 24 to 64% of cancers in males and 7 to 42% in females. Therefore, the objective of present study was to assess the burden of tobacco related cancers (TRCs) for India and its states for 2015-2025. National Cancer Registry Programme (NCRP) of ICMR is the only source of reliable data on cancer in India. The cancer incidence rates generated by population based cancer registries under NCRP and population of India and states projected by Registrar General of India formed the sources of data. Best possible assessment of incidence rates for states using limited data available was worked out. The linear regression method was used to assess trend and project the rates for the study period 2015-2025. Overall burden of TRCs in India was estimated to be 366 thousand in 2015 and it was projected to increase to 508 thousand by 2025, an increase of more than 38.9%. Major portion of this burden was due to tobacco use in men (three fourth) and in rural males (one half). Detailed analysis indicated regional diversity in the burden of different types of TRCs. In view of increasing burden of TRCs, there is urgent need to initiate focused tobacco prevention measures to combat the same.
