The self-determination theory (SDT) is a macro theory of human motivation and personality that focuses on people's innate psychological needs and their desires for growth and development. The Multidimensional Work Motivation Scale (MWMS) is grounded in the SDT and was extensively researched and tested on different cultures, in different languages and in different contexts. The purpose of this research was to evaluate the applicability of the MWMS in a different and relatively new type of work, namely on online gig work. A sample of workers on the Clickworker.com platform (N=542) voluntarily answered the questionnaire. The result shows that, while most subscales are applicable in this context, the Introjected regulation subscale might need some adjustment for online work environments.

This article describes an educational attempt to overcome an ongoing divide in Israel society. The Jewish - Arab or Israeli Palestinian divide in Israel is harsh and influences Israeli society in various realm such as social, political and economic. Israel's educational system reinforces this divide by separating Jewish and Arab schools. The Jewish Arab bilingual schools (JABS) in Israel attempt to change this segregation reality and create a shared and educational space for both Jews and Arabs. This article presents JABS principals, goals and model and a review of relevant recent research. It will suggest a new stream of study for the future.

The aim of papers is to describe and discuss the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the traditional approach in undergraduate nursing education in Israel. The lockdowns due to the COVID-19 pandemic forced an abrupt transformation from the face-to-face educational approach to ERT (Emergency Remote Teaching) in tertiary education in general and in undergraduate nursing education in particular. The current research was part of a mixed-method doctoral study that explored the implementation of a new nursing core curriculum mirroring social change in Israel. This particular section was based on in-depth interviews of 14 heads of nursing schools and nursing departments in colleges and universities. The content data analysis was performed on in-depth interviews. The interviews were conducted between March 2019-January 2021, after the release of the draft version of the new nursing core curriculum. Half of the interviews were completed after the outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic, and so relevant to the current discussion. These interviews included additional questions about the transformation to ERT and adjustments for this made in nursing education institutions. The content analysis revealed the theme that exposed the different ways that nursing education programs in Israel were managed during the COVI-19 pandemic. Findings are presented and analyzed. The categories emerging from this theme related to different coping patterns with ERT, consequences, coping with clinical practice challenges and with online examinations and lessons learned. The paper discussed the impact and the perceived necessity of various online platforms. The findings demonstrate that Israeli nursing educators learned to overcome the main barriers to distance learning. This process was largely engendered by the COVID-19 pandemic that forced them to face and manage the situation. The lessons learned equipped them with valuable tools to adjust nursing education to 21st-century demands.

Special education teachers face various difficulties due to the uniqueness of their work, and these can impact their school culture. On the other hand, if given an opportunity or a resolution, like the Sociological Teachers Teaching Yoga (STETY) intervention program, this could increase the staffs' sense of self-efficacy, thus affecting the school culture. This paper presents the findings of a research aiming to characterize teachers' self-efficacy and school culture by participating in a group for a period of a ten-week yoga program. Qualitative research methods have been used for collecting and analyzing the data from 65 participants in total. The findings show that the Sociological Teachers Teaching Yoga (STETY) intervention program has impacted the participants' self-efficacy and, therefore, the school culture.

Active aging is a broad concept in the sociology of aging. It emphasizes the links between health and activity and aging healthily (WHO, 2001a). As a strategy, active aging is to maximize everyone's potential to improve their individual quality of life. Self-management is a concept to which the idea of active aging is applied. This theory is used in many intervention. Self-management in aging relates to people's involvement in initiating progressive actions that will prepare them for aging. The Body Management in Safe Ranges (BMSR) program is a self-management program for aging. BMSR uses functional task (FT) movement as a means for managing aging, strengthens participants' self-efficacy, supports cognitive-motor strategies and movement in safe ranges. We use quasi experiment 2x2x2 design: intervention (experiment – control) X time (before-after) X group (community-retirement residence). For collecting data were used self-management questionnaire (SMAS-30), general self-efficacy questionnaire, BMSR questionnaire (BMSR-21) created for the current study. A significant improvement was found in the intervention group compared to the control group. No difference was found between social networks. Significant improvements were seen in program participants' reports about their physical abilities and condition, as well as their perceptions of the program, self-efficacy and additional factors encouraging them to improve their day-to-day functional abilities. The higher the final BMSR score given, the better their self-management abilities and self-efficacy. It was found that positive change to managing their bodies in safe ranges correlated to positive changes in self-management and self-efficacy ranges. BMSR is an independent factor that does not depend on social networks and environment or on participants' starting condition (age, amount of physical exercise, pain levels), can be carried out in varied framework, physical conditions, and abilities for which further research is needed. Changes seen in self-management and self-efficacy measurements in the intervention groups indicate that the BMSR program can serve as a self-management program in old age using movement as a means.

In recent years, healthcare givers and patients have extensively used computerized technologies and digital information. This changed the work environment and skills of nurses who learn to live with innovations, namely working with both "machines" and humans. Nursing is patient-centered, respecting human dignity and acknowledging patients' needs. Nurses are required to promote safe environment and health care, educate, and embrace a health policy for individuals of all ages and communities. Electronic health records are shared through network systems not only by patients but also by physicians, nurses, insurance personnel, government officials and more. This widespread access to health information requires finding ways for observing patients' confidentiality and privacy by the users. This paper presents four central ethical issues stemming from the use of electronic records: the built-in conflict between nurses' quality care commitment to health system organization and their commitment to maintain patients' respect and privacy; the gap between the one-dimensional reporting of medical and therapeutic information through technological systems; the gap between the advantage of technological systems as being easy to operate and use and the risk of leaking confidential medical information, violating patients' privacy. 4) Conflict between nurses' classic professional identity as people who take care of and satisfy patients' needs and the new concept of nursing that advocates patients' privacy, autonomy and dignity while learning new technological skills with all the advantages and disadvantages encompassed in it. This paper ends with a writes' point of view about ethical-technological solutions of the ethical issues.

The physician-patient interaction and relationship is the core element of the health-care system, which is developing towards greater patient's involvement in required medical decisions, regarding patient's medical condition. Sharing physicians-patient decisions issue is deepening on the medical discourse. It includes a sociological essence, which is considered in the current article, which tends to compare physician-patient relationship in Israel and worldwide. The current article presents a literary Review of academic articles, mainly from the past decade, inquiring searching databases, such as NCBI, Elsevier, JAMA and Research Gate, using keywords of Patient-Centered Care, professionalism, and human and sociological approaches of patients' medical care. Among dozens of found articles, 40 were assessed and selected for the review. Although, a recognition of the importance of using SDM and CCM can be found within healthcare teams, hardly no use of the models is actually in practice in healthcare systems in Israel. The CCM and the SDM models should be implied in Israel for the best of patients, physician and the healthcare system.

The Nursing Core Curriculum has been continually developed and revised in many countries over recent decades. These revisions are shaped mainly by social changes and challenges: for example, the forecast that the elderly will become a significant percentage of populations in developed countries, global migration processes, computerization of medical services, and new complex medical devices have all necessitated changes in the education of 21st century nurses. In Israel, nursing education has developed simultaneously under the influences of both the British versus the American core curricula through the last century. The latest Core Curriculum was published in 2012, and for the last three years, the Ministry of Health Nursing Administration have been working on the development of a new core. Meanwhile, all nursing education institutions are expected to implement de-facto changes which are supervised by the Ministry of Health's audit tool development and inspection process.

Résumé Les autorités nationales roumaines, directement ou à travers des structures intermédiaires, ont manifesté à plusieurs reprises leur intérêt pour le développement d'une stratégie nationale pour la mise en œuvre de l'éducation parentale comme forme de soutien et de consolidation des services de prévention de l'abus, de la négligence et de l'exploitation de l'enfant, de l'abandon scolaire, etc. et pour la promotion des droits des enfants. Dans ce contexte, l'étude analyse 18 programmes d'éducation des parents en Roumanie menés par diverses organisations non gouvernementales ainsi que leurs caractéristiques, en termes de contenu, de formes d'organisation, de méthodes et de catégories de bénéficiaires. La recherche souligne la nécessité de construire un système national intégré et cohérent de l'éducation parentale en Roumanie. Ceci nécessite l'élaboration de normes professionnelles, le développement d'une méthodologie pour la formation, la certification des éducateurs et l'obtention de ressources financières publiques pour développer l'éducation parentale à long terme.

If we talk about parenting, it can be said that there is a great diversity among families, due to the fact that cultural aspects have a major impact on how children are raised. Several researchers have analysed over time the relationship between parenting styles and various developmental disorders of adolescents, but also the relationship between parenting styles and children's school results were considered. Many of these researches drew attention to the fact that there are consequences that affect public health, namely the health status of adolescents (Lahey, 2009). A large part of the research looks at the four parenting styles described by Carlson, Laczniak Wertley (2011) based on the research of Baumrind (1991). They created a matrix with 2 x 2 axis, in which permissiveness and restrictiveness are on the vertical axis, and warmth and hostility on the horizontal axis. Between these two axes are located the four parenting styles: authoritarian, authoritative or democratic, indulgent or permissive and neglectful. This article analyses the characteristics of the four parenting styles and how they influence the child's development. Parental control, children's responsibility, parental warmth, parental responsiveness are just some of the factors that have been examined in relation to the development of children's autonomy in general and in adolescent's autonomy in particular, school results, socialization, including social behaviour of adolescents as well as consumers in the marketplace.

There are many agents involved in the family reunification processes of the child protection system, which requires rethinking collaboration between services. A mixed-method design including a quantitative survey (n = 93) and 14 qualitative focus groups (n = 43) was applied to investigate the attitudes of the protection system professionals towards the implementation of a group intervention program for family reunification. The results indicate the need for collaboration between the protection system services and highlight the elements that professionals identify as key to developing this collaboration.
