Abstract
:
This paper reports the findings from a study of some adolescents in Jordan, the sample has been selected from Palestinian refugee camps in Jordan, which are considered economically distressed (deprived) social environments. Variables of interest included gender, as well as attitudes toward health and health efficacy feeling. The study sample size was 272 males and 280 females from several Palestinian refugee camps located in Jordan. Results indicate that there are some serious health problems that need a clinical visit, such as: back pain, continuous cough, difficulty in breathing, chest pain, abdominal tumor and obesity as attitudes toward health. The gender factor was affecting these attitudes; males did perceive some health problems which were more serious and required medical attention, than other problems, while females perceived other health problems that are more important and need a clinical visit. The health efficacy feeling of this population is moderate to negative. The overall quality of family life in these areas started to become diminished. The results are discussed in reference to socio-cultural characteristics.
