Purpose: This study was conducted to investigate the effect of tuberculosis-related knowledge and family support on medication adherence in tuberculosis patients. Methods: The data were collected from 175 patients diagnosed with tuberculosis at three general hospitals located in two provincial cities in South Korea from September 1 to November 31, 2020. The 160 questionnaires were analyzed using IBM SPSS WIN 25.0. Results: The patients' average score for tuberculosis-related knowledge was 15.85±5.87 (out of 25), for family support it was 22.03±9.20 (out of 35), and for medication adherence it was 5.11±2.68 (out of 8). There were significant differences in tuberculosis-related knowledge, family support, and medication adherence according to patients' general characteristics and significant positive relationships among tuberculosis-related knowledge, family support, and medication adherence. Factors affecting patients' tuberculosis medication adherence were history of stopping the medication, the importance of treatment among tuberculosis-related knowledge and family support, and these factors could explain 78% of patients' taking tuberculosis drugs. Conclusion: It could be concluded that the importance of tuberculosis treatment and family support are very important for improving patients' rates of medication adherence. Therefore, medical staffs caring for tuberculosis patients need to manage patients' medication of tuberculosis drugs with continuous consultation.

Purpose: This study examined the perceived quality of life of families of individuals with developmental disabilities who regularly participate in physical activities. It also explored differences in the quality of family life based on variables such as family relationships, family income, gender, disability type, and age. Methods: A survey was administered to 69 family members of individuals with developmental disabilities who regularly participate in physical activities. The collected data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, independent samples t-test, and one-way analysis of variance. Results: The average overall quality of life for families of individuals with developmental disabilities who participate in continuous physical activities was 3.49. After analyzing each subtype, psychological health was found to be 3.91, the burden for people with developmental disabilities was 2.75, community participation was 3.76, cohesion was 3.83, and openness was 3.49. No statistically significant differences were found in family relationships or family classes, disability type, age, or gender of the individuals with developmental disabilities across the variables. Conclusion: When planning service development and support to improve the quality of life for families of individuals with developmental disabilities, it is necessary to develop systematic programs at the family level rather than providing support based on various variables.

Given a closed subset of the family $S^{*}(\alpha)$ of functions starlike of order $\alpha$, a continuous Frechet differentiable functional J, is constructed with this collection as the solution set to the extremal problem ReJ(f) over $S^{*}(\alpha)$. The support points of $S^{*}(\alpha)$ is completely characterized and shown to coincide with the extreme points of its convex hulls. Given any finite collection of support points of $S^{*}(\alpha)$ a continuous linear functional J, is constructed with this collection as the solution set to the extremal problem ReJ(f) over $S^{*}(\alpha)$.

In the first section of this paper two common fixed point results for four nonlinear mappings which are pairwise commuting and only two of them being continuous have been given on a complete metric space and on a compact metric space respectively which generalize the results of Mukherjee [2] and Yeh [4]. Further two common fixed point theorems have been established for two finite families of non linear mappings, with only one family being continuous. In another section we extend Theorem 3 and Theorem 4 of Mukherjee [2] for common fixed point of four continuous mappings on a Hausdorff space and on a compact metric space respectively. In the same spaces, these two results have been further generalized for two finite families of continuous mappings.

The purpose of this paper is to determine conditions under which equicontinuity of the family of iterates {f$^{n}$ } of a continuous function that maps the circle S$^{1}$ into itself does occur. We shall see that equicontinuity of the family of iterates {f$^{n}$ } occurs only under special cases. Actually, we will show that this happens only for rotations when degree of the function is 1, and for involutions when degree of the function is -1.

We derive a new Cramer-Rao type lower bound for the reciprocal of the density height of the median-unbiased estimators which improves most of the previous lower bounds and is attainable under much weaker conditions. We also identify useful necessary and sufficient condition for the attainability of the lower bound which is considerably weaker than those for the mean-unbiased estimators. It is shown that these lower bounds are attained not only for the family of continuous distributions with monotone likelihood ratio (MLR) property but also for the location and scale families with strong unimodal property.

The problems and needs of families in Hong Kong are becoming more complex. Traditional family structures and functions are rapidly eroding. Moreover, family problems are further exacerbated by a growing number of socio-economic issues including rising divorce rates and extra-marital affairs. continuous family reunion migration from Mainland China, emotional and financial cost of caring for the older people and the changing economy which has pushed more families into hardship. In effect, more and more families are becoming vulnerable to risk. Traditional family services in Hong Kong are varied in mode, operation and provision, often overlapping in service boundaries with other family-oriented programs. In many instances, family service centers are stretched far beyond their capacity. As a consequence, they become too reactive, remedial and casework dominated. The University of Hong Kong Consultant Team recommended that family service programs have to protect vulnerable families and strengthen family capacities to promote maximum independence. The direction of family services is summarized as: strengthening families; child-centered, family-focused and community-based. New integrative family service centers aim at attaining the principles of promoting accessibility to users with minimum physical, psychological and administrative barriers; early identification of needs and intervention before the further deterioration of problems; integration of services cutting across program boundaries, and partnership between service providers to achieve efficient and effective use of scarce resources. Under the new model, multi-skilled teams can respond more proactively to a wide range of social needs, rather than addressing needs in isolation. To demonstrate the effectiveness of the new model, the consultant team has been commissioned by the government to evaluate the performance of these two-year pilot projects. More importantly, a coherent and family-friendly social policy should be formulated to strengthen family capacity against family-related problems.

In this paper, we first introduce a family S = {$S_n$ : C ${\rightarrow}$ C} of non-Lipschitzian mappings, called total asymptotically nonexpansive (briefly, TAN) on a nonempty closed convex subset C of a real Banach space X, and next give necessary and sufficient conditions for strong convergence of the sequence {$x_n$} defined recursively by the algorithm $x_{n+1}$ = $S_nx_n$, $n{\geq}1$, starting from an initial guess $x_1{\in}C$, to a common fixed point for such a continuous TAN family S in Banach spaces. Finally, some applications to a finite family of TAN self mappings are also added.

In comparison with the long and continuous his-tory of research in the general area of stress and coping, theoretical and clinical interest in family stress and adaptation is a recent phenomenon. To understand the phenomena of family behavior, a comprehensive theoretical framework is needed to us provide an adequate background to for research. This study was designed to develop and test a hypothetical model for family stress and adaptation in families with handicapped children. A hypothetical model was constructed on the basis of the family stress theory developed by McCubbin etc. The model included six paths. For the purpose of model testing, empirical data was collected from May to August, 1992. The subjects of the study were 190 parents of chidren in five special schools and one private institute in Seoul and Choong Nam. An SPSS P $C^{+}$ and PC-LISREL 7.13 computer programs were used for descriptive and covariance structure analysis. The results of the study are as follows. (1) Family Stress(${\gamma}$$_{3l}$=-.288, T=-4.942) had a direct effect on Family Adaptation. (2) Family Functioning ($\beta$$_{21}$=-.373, T=5.595) had a direct effect on Situational Definition. (3) Family Functioning ($\beta$$_{31}$ =.334, T=5.375) had a direct effect on Family Adaptation. (4) Situational Definition( a2=.270, T=4.285) had a direct effect on Family Adaptation The model was supported by the empirical data. Thus it is suggested that the model could be adequately applied to family nursing care of families with a mentally handicapped child. In particular, the nursing interventions that enhance family functioning and the situational definition would improve family adaptation in families with mentally handicapped children.n.n.
