Abstract Roughly 18% of all patients discharged from hospitals in the United States experience an unplanned hospital readmission (UR) within 30 days which can be life-threatening to patients and extremely costly for the health care system. Medicare alone paid $900.8 billion in 2021, or 21 percent of total national hospital expenditures. A promising theory for adding to our understanding of the causes for URs is Health Lifestyle Theory (HLT). It proposes that structural factors (e.g., SES, hospital procedures) affect one’s life chances and that socialization and personal experiences affect one’s life choices and the two merge to produce a person’s health lifestyle. The purpose of our study was to consider the ability of HLT to explain why some patients recover after hospital discharge while others experience URs. To accomplish our purpose, we interviewed 37 patients in their homes who had been discharged from a regional hospital in north Texas roughly 30 days prior to being interviewed. All the patients had been admitted for various serious illnesses. Fourteen of the patients had experienced an UR. Qualitative analyses included open and focused coding. Data from those experiencing an UR and those avoiding an UR were analyzed separately. We found the HLT to provide sound reasons for patients experiencing recovery or URs. Those who experienced an UR were found to have similar life chances caused by structural factors and similar life choices based on their socialization and personal experiences. Specific structural factors and personal experiences associated with life chances and life choices are presented.

The social formation of personality is a continuous natural process. Many social problems of a person and the ability to independently solve them are mainly determined by his social development. This article deals with such issues as the socialization of the individual, social education. Basic concepts and terms related to social education are interpreted. The content of social education is studied - a set of elements of social experience, which is transmitted to the younger generation in the process of social education, as well as a complex of socially significant qualities formed in young people. It describes the features of the subjects of social education - agents of positive socialization of the younger generation (and a particular child), creating conditions for the formation of a social subject. The approach of Anatoly Viktorovich Mudrik is mainly analyzed. The scientist took up this issue in the 70s. An approach to the definition of periods, mechanisms, factors of socialization, as well as the concept of \"victims of socialization\" is being explored. The novelty and modernity of the author's concept on this issue are put forward. The features and content of the concept of \"subculture\" are also considered.

The paper aims to map the learning pathways that exist across generations. Its primary purpose is to describe to what extent different forms of learning influence the acquisition of the abilities and skills required for Internet use in Hungary and whether consumer segments can be distinguished based on the related results. A survey involving 509 Hungarian adults was conducted to analyse Internet use and related learning forms, focusing on various demographic factors and intergenerational effects.Our findings reveal the identification of four distinct segments. These encompass formal, non-formal, informal, and hybrid learning styles, exhibiting discernible variations in demographic and learning characteristics. Younger age groups predominantly rely on formal learning, such as school education, to acquire Internet skills. In contrast, older age groups tend to learn through informal channels. Additionally, our results point out that they primarily learn from younger individuals.Our study contributes to the understanding of secondary consumer socialisation in the context of Internet use, providing valuable insights for practitioners, policymakers, and educators that can be used to develop effective strategies that promote digital inclusion and bridge the gap between generations in the digital era.

Over the past 15 years, the project of advanced European integration has followed a complex secular and cosmopolitan agenda. As that agenda has evolved, however, so have various hard-line populist movements with goals diametrically opposed to the ideals of a harmonious European Union. Spearheaded by figures such as Jean-Marie Le Pen, the controversial leader of France's National Front party, these radical movements have become increasingly influential and, because of their philosophical affinities with fascism and national socialism--politically worrisome. In Integral Europe, anthropologist Douglas Holmes posits that such movements are philosophically rooted in integralism, a sensibility that, in its most benign form, enables people to maintain their ethnic identity and solidarity within the context of an increasingly pluralistic society. Taken to irrational extremes by people like Le Pen, integralism is being used to inflame people's feelings of alienation and powerlessness, the by-products of impersonal, transnational \"fast-capitalism.\" The consequences are an invidious politics of exclusion that spawns cultural nationalism, racism, and social disorder. The analysis moves from northern Italy to Strasbourg and Brussels, the two venues of the European Parliament, and finally to the East End of London. This multi-sited ethnography provides critical perspective on integralism as a form of intimate cultural practice and a violent idiom of estrangement. It combines a wide-ranging review of modern and historical scholarship with two years of field research that included personal interviews with right-wing activists, among them Le Pen and neo-Nazis in inner London. Fascinating, provocative, and sobering, Integral Europe offers a rare inside look at one of modern Europe's most unsettling political trends.

Significance & Background: Humor with laughter is good medicine, supporting socialization as well as a diversion from pain and suffering. The impact on cardiovascular disease, the immune response, endorphin release and decreases in stress hormones is well documented. Incorporating humor and laughter into our work lives is challenged by barriers; humor has no place in healthcare. Utilizing Travelbee's Human to Human Relationship model as a framework for establishing rapport with others, allows for us to connect. Acknowledging that our humility facilitates our self-awareness, fosters better communication. Purpose: Reviewing the current literature regarding the psychologic and physiologic benefits of humor and laughter, facilitates an understanding for establishing human to human relationships. Attendees will hear various hypotheses, and concrete results from scientific inquiry. Passive humor from observation and active humor whereby one creates or finds humor within unpleasant or stressful situations will be discussed. Strategies for the appropriate implementation of humor are outlined. The use of case studies and examples of humor therapy is included. Interventions: Attending this presentation allows for a better understanding of the place for humor in healthcare and provides strategies for its implementation. An understanding of Travelbee's Relationship model further promotes an understanding of how to create rapport with other human beings. Understanding that humor goes beyond telling a joke, that to find humor within the setting of stress or illness can have benefits that go beyond socialization or diversion is clarified. Humility reminds us that we are not adequately able to care for others, without self-knowledge. Results: The complimentary use of humor and laughter therapy in the setting of illness provides diversion, a feeling of well-being, and has been shown to improve health by a multitude of physiologic and psychologic processes. By facilitating connections with other human beings, nurses find the usefulness of humor as a tool to decrease barriers to implementation. Attendees learn that laughter and humor are human responses, promoting quality of life and adaptation to illness. Discussion: Nursing is an interpersonal process whereby the professional nurse assists an individual, family or community to promote health, prevent or cope with the experience ofillness and suffering, and if necessary, to find meaning in these experiences. The use of humor and laughter should lessen barriers and facilitate the connections with other humans, that fosters rapport and interrelatedness, necessary to improve outcomes.

This study seeks to understand the role of parent academic socialisation and its possible connections to rural adolescents’ reluctance in developing English proficiency. The Parent Socialisation Model of Eccles and Wigfield’s Situated Expectancy-Value Theory guides this qualitative study to examine parents’ beliefs of the value of English for their children, perceptions of their children’s actual English language abilities and how parents’ beliefs and perceptions are reflected through parents’ learning-related behaviours. Data was elicited from semi structured interviews and home observations in a rural community in Malaysia. Thematic analysis revealed that parents’ English language beliefs were not evenly positive and not reflected strongly through home academic socialisation. Furthermore, due to gaps in understanding learning realities, parents did not accurately perceive their children’s actual abilities in English. Consequently, parental learning investments were inadequate and not sustained. This study concludes that rural parents’ insufficient academic socialisation contributes to their children’s reluctance to learn English. Reversal of English learning reluctance will require increasing parents’ beliefs in the utility of English in order to increase and diversify their engagement in their children’s learning. Fostering parent-practitioner bonds of trust will help parents understand that children’s learning of English is a shared responsibility between parents and practitioners.
