Dropping out of a transdiagnostic online intervention: A qualitative analysis of client's experiences
2017
Introduction An important concern in Internet-based treatments (IBTs) for emotional disorders is the high dropout rate from these protocols. Although dropout rates are usually reported in research studies, very few studies qualitatively explore the experiences of patients who drop out of IBTs. Examining the experiences of these clients may help to find ways to tackle this problem. Method A Consensual Qualitative Research study was applied in 10 intentionally-selected patients who dropped out of a transdiagnostic IBT. Results 22 categories were identified within 6 domains. Among the clients an undeniable pattern arose regarding the insufficient support due to the absence of a therapist and t…
Cardiorespiratory Fitness Is Associated With Drop Out From Sport in Norwegian Adolescents. A Longitudinal Study
2020
Several studies indicate that participation in organized sport may result in higher physical activity levels among youth which are associated with high levels of cardiorespiratory fitness. However, no study has examined whether cardiorespiratory fitness (VO2peak) is associated with drop out from sport. The study was a 5-year longitudinal study which followed a sample of adolescents, with measures of cardiorespiratory fitness, weight and height between the age of 14 and 19 yrs. Self-reported data about participation in sport, active commuting and physical activity level were also included. Through logistic regression analyses we found a positive association between cardiorespiratory fitness …
Drop-out and treatment outcome of outpatient cognitive-behavioral therapy for anorexia nervosa and bulimia nervosa.
2013
In the present study, drop-out-analyses were carried out for a manual-based cognitive–behavioral therapy for 104 females with anorexia nervosa (AN) and bulimia nervosa (BN), in the service setting of a university outpatient clinic (naturalistic setting). A total of 22.9% of patients with AN terminated therapy prematurely (drop-outs), compared to 40.6% of patients with BN. Group differences between drop-outs and completers show that the group of drop-outs with BN had higher values in the depression score at the start of therapy and was almost two times more likely to have a comorbid disorder (odds ratio 1.69), whereas drop-outs with AN had higher values in the outcome-scale drive for thinnes…
Factors Affecting Attrition among First Year Computer Science Students: the Case of University of Latvia
2015
<p class="R-AbstractKeywords"><span lang="EN-GB">The purpose of our study was to identify reasons for high dropout of students enrolled in the first year of the computer science study program to make it possible to determine students, who are potentially in risk. Several factors that could affect attrition, as it was originally assumed, were studied: high school grades (admission score), compensative course in high school mathematics, intermediate grades for core courses, prior knowledge of programming. However, the results of our study indicate that none of the studied factors is determinant to identify those students, who are going to abandon their studies, with great precisio…
The Role of a Supportive Interpersonal Environment and Education-Related Goal Motivation During the Transition Beyond Upper Secondary Education
2018
This longitudinal study investigated the role of parents and peers as well as of education-related goal motivation during educational transitioning in late adolescence. The sample consisted of 1520 upper secondary education students attending either academic or vocational upper secondary school in Finland. They were surveyed three times: (1) in the first year of their upper secondary education, (2) in the second year of their upper secondary education, and (3) two years later. The results show, first, that when students in upper secondary education pursued their educational goals out of autonomous motivation they also invested more effort in their goals, which was reflected in high levels o…
Segmentación y comportamiento de lealtad de los pacientes: un análisis clúster en los departamentos de salud de la Comunidad Valenciana
2018
Under a health ser vice framework marked by the territory segmentation and the coexistence of public administration and publicprivate ventures, it makes sense to analyze and classif y the health ser vice departments by considering the following objectives: to know the way patients actually behave when the choice of the ser vice place is up to themselves; to adapt the ser vice offer to the patient’s preferences; and to organize health ser vice based on the territory location, thus considering its influence on the management model. Secondary data from the Valencian Community (over two million data) are used in the cluster analysis of the patient loyal behavior (entering , retention and drop ou…
The Father in Youth Baseball: A Self-Determination Theory Approach
2021
This study based on the self-determination theory aims to examine the relationship among the aspirations that fathers have about their children’s youth baseball practice, the children’s basic psychological needs (satisfaction and frustration), and their intentions to either continue or drop out of baseball practice in a sample of children from Hermosillo, Mexico. A cross-sectional study was carried out involving 533 fathers (M = 44.30, SD = 5.18) and 533 children (M = 13.09, SD = 1.68). The results showed that the intrinsic aspirations of fathers were positively correlated to the satisfaction of the children’s psychological needs, whereas the extrinsic aspirations of fathers were positively…
Student Progress in Higher Education: What We Have Learned from Large-Scale Studies
2011
en ligne sur http://www.benthamscience.com/open/toeduj/articles/V004/1TOEDUJ.pdf; International audience; This review examines student progress in higher education based on 28 articles examining 25 large-scale samples of first-year entrants in higher education programs in nine countries. These articles were obtained from a search of published and publicly available research on student departure. Although the results of the studies reviewed are heterogeneous, generalized trends emerge from the synthesis of this body of research on dropout behavior, completion, and time-to-degree. The vast majority of the empirical works reviewed indicate that personal characteristics, family background, prio…
Lapsuudessa tai nuoruudessa urheiluharrastuksen lopettaneiden ja sitä jatkaneiden terveyskäyttäytymisen erot aikuisuudessa
2017
Saarnio, H. & Viertola, J. 2017. Lapsuudessa ja nuoruudessa urheiluseuraharrastamisen lopettaneiden ja jatkaneiden erot aikuisuuden terveyskäyttäytymisessä. Liikuntatieteellinen tiedekunta, Jyväskylän yliopisto, liikuntapedagogiikan pro gradu -tutkielma, 64 s. Lapsuuden liikunta-aktiivisuudella ja urheiluseuraharrastamisella on tutkittu olevan yhteys aikuisuuden liikunta-aktiivisuuteen, mutta vaikutuksista muuhun terveyskäyttäytymiseen ei ole paljoa tietoa. Monosen ym. (2016) mukaan Suomessa noin puolet nuorista on mukana urheiluseuratoiminnassa säännöllisesti ja aktiivisesti. Tutkimuksissa on kuitenkin ilmaistu huoli niin sanotusta drop out -ilmiöstä, eli seuraharrastuksen lopettamisesta i…
