Description

<p>Objectives: Individuals involved in nursing or social work should organize/tidy up to better serve patients. According to studies, several members of the general public have difficulty organizing/tidying up, and the life-coping skills of undergraduates correlate with their score on the Rosenberg Self-Esteem Scale (RSES); however, no study has examined whether nursing or social work students have difficulty in organizing/tidying up. The current study aimed to examine difficulty in organizing/tidying up in nursing or social work students, and factors related to this difficulty, and effective forms of support for students facing this difficulty.</p><p>Methods: The subjects were 450 nursing or social work students. Subjects completed a self-administered questionnaire asking whether one had difficulty in organizing and tidying up and how often one organized/tidied up. The questionnaire also included the Japanese version of the RSES, the Saving Inventory-Revised (SI-R), and the Clutter Image Rating (CIR) scale. In analysis, whether one had difficulty in organizing/tidying up served as the outcome variable. Furthermore, crude and adjusted odds ratios (ORs) were calculated for subject characteristics. ORs (95% CI) were estimated using the logistic regression analysis (stepwise variable selection). In addition, multivariate regression analyses were performed with the hoarding condition as an objective variable and other survey items as explanatory variables. The significance level was two-tailed (p < 0.05), and the analysis was performed using SAS v9.4.</p><p>Results: Having difficulty in organizing/tidying up was related to a low score on the RSES, and who organized/tidied up. Adjusted for subject characteristics, the OR for one’s score on the RSES was 0.96 (95% CI: 0.93, 0.99) and that for having someone else organize/tidy up was 2.77 (95% CI: 1.29, 5.95). Difficulty in organizing/tidying up, SI-R, CIR, and the frequency of organizing/tidying up were correlated with each other. SI-R was related to sex and RSES, and CIR was related to the number of years in school, living alone or with someone else, who organized/tidied up, and RSES. The frequency of organizing/tidying up was related to the department of school, whether the subject lived alone or with someone else, and who organized/tidied up.</p><p>Conclusion: In nursing or social work students, difficulty in organizing/tidying up was related to low self-esteem and the habit of not organizing/tidying up for oneself.</p><p>Despite being organized frequently, there was a situation when students living alone did not advance improvement of one’s room clutter. Organizing/tidying up skills should be taught based on an individual’s self-esteem level.</p>
