Abstract

In the current era, the advent of digital media has significantly altered how individuals establish connections and seek sources of inspiration. Inside this context, a noteworthy avenue arises known as "Golden Inspirations," which harnesses the power of motivational videos to skillfully construct a framework of optimism and personal growth in the lives of older adults. The objective of this study was to examine the relationship between life satisfaction and psychological wellness, as well as the influence of motivational movies on these variables. This study was done on 82 senior citizens of the Al Azhar Garden Society. A survey was conducted through the life satisfaction scale and psychological well-being scale before and after the motivational video. The result for this study was a mean average of 21.40 before videos and 24.15 after videos for the life satisfaction scale. Similarly, the mean average was 0.84 before and 1.57 after the videos for psychological well-being. The determinants of life satisfaction among older individuals encompass various social, physical, mental, and financial dimensions. These factors are likely to interact with one another, particularly about experiences of loneliness, level of self-care ability, overall health status, feelings of distress, and inadequate financial resources relative to one's needs. To preserve the life pleasure of an individual, it is imperative to consider these many aspects.

Abstract

This study aims to investigate the existing level of knowledge regarding the symptoms, side effects, and treatment plans of cancer patients undergoing chemotherapy. Addressing gaps in literature and enhancing patient education can significantly improve outcomes and reduce cancer-related mortality and morbidity worldwide. Several search engines, including PubMed, CINHAAL, Science Direct, Research Gate, and Google Scholar, were used to conduct a comprehensive and broad literature evaluation. Each database was searched using keywords for "Knowledge OR Health Literacy OR Health Education OR Patient Knowledge AND Chemotherapy OR Symptoms OR Treatment Plan", resulting in the inclusion of 20 relevant articles for the study. The results highlighted the major challenges faced by patients undergoing chemotherapy and the severity of their symptoms, emphasizing the need for improved management strategies. Moreover, there are notable gaps in patient knowledge about chemotherapy and its side effects, underscoring the importance of targeted education programs and strengthened communication between healthcare providers and patients for better outcomes. Knowledge about the symptoms and treatment of cancer patients undergoing chemotherapy is an essential component for better survival and for reducing suffering. It is important to identify patients' knowledge about chemotherapy so that they can receive health education tailored to the needs, capabilities, and preferences of each individual patient.
