![]() While I see the need for your work and am encouraged to see the attention you bring to the problem, IMO you need to focus far more on real economic solutions and less on un-quantified conceptual economic philosophies - like circular economies and or "Doughnut Economics." Without quantifiable inputs and outputs it is far too easy to economically confuse subsistence, decline and economic decay, with optimized economic sustainability. Far from leading to social collapse, economic growth was thus self-correcting – not to mention the only way for countries to develop out of poverty. Technological innovation will lead to new, cleaner methods of production. Other resources will then be substituted for it, and it will be used more efficiently. If a resource becomes scarce, its price will rise, they pointed out. ![]() In 1972, the book came under immediate fire from economists who claimed that its authors failed to understand basic economics. Exponential economic growth could not go on forever at some point in the next 100 years, it would inevitably run up against Earth’s finite environmental limits.Ī half-century later, with a climate and environmental crisis upon us, the debate triggered by The Limits to Growth has returned with a vengeance. Written for the Club of Rome by Donella Meadows and colleagues at MIT, The Limits to Growth used new computer models to forecast an uncontrollable collapse in the global population and economy if prevailing patterns of environmental resource use and pollution continued. BERLIN – Fifty years ago this spring, one of the most influential books of the twentieth century was published. Psychological factors in end-stage renal disease: An emerging context for behavioral medicine research. Hemodialysis Patients Needs Priorities According to Maslows’ Hierarchy and Quality of Life. ![]() Fluids compliance among patients having hemodialysis: Can an educational program make a difference? J Adv Nurs. The Relationship between Social Support and Adherence of Dietary and Fluids Restrictions among Hemodialysis Patients in Iran. Content analysis and qualitative study of hemodialysis patients, family experience and perceived social support. In particular, patients who considered themselves anxious had 1.38, 1.5 and 1.6 points respectively higher score in the evaluation of the importance of needs compared to patients who did not consider themselves anxious.įactors affecting needs of hemodialysis patients are age, education level, place of residence difficulties in relations with family members as well as anxious personality as reported by the patients.Īghakhani N, Sharif F, Molazem Z, Habibzadeh H. After multivariate analysis, however, it was shown that the only independent factor affecting 'the need for support and guidance', 'the need for individualized care' and 'the need to meet the emotional and physical needs', was if the patients reported themselves as anxious or not (p=0,024, p=0,012 and p=0,004, respectively). Furthermore, difficulties in relations with family members was found to be statistically significantly associated with 'the need for support, the need for communication and individualization of care', (p=0.014, p=0.040, p=0.041). Place of residence was statistically significantly associated with 'the need for support and guidance', (p=0.029). Education level was found to be statistically significantly associated with all patients' needs with the exception of 'the need to trust the medical and nursing staff', (p=<0.05). Age was found to be statistically significantly associated with 'the need for support and guidance', 'the need to be informed' and 'the need to meet the emotional and physical needs', (p=0.023, p=0.012, p=0.028 respectively). The results of this study showed that patients evaluated as fairly important all six categories of their needs, with similar results in both sexes. Furthermore, there were collected socio-demographic characteristics, information on health status and relations with the physicians and nurses, as well as data on the incidence of the disease in their social life. Patients were asked to answer how important was for them each of the statements in the questionnaire. The needs were grouped into six categories. Data collection was performed by the method of interview using a specially designed questionnaire which served the purposes of the study. The sample of the study included 141 patients undergoing hemodialysis. ![]() Of this study was to explore the needs of hemodialysis patients and the factors that affect them.
