| Abstract | ||||
| The main objective of this research was to study the effect of agronomic dimensions of home storage environment on the achievement rate and fatigue feeling among a sample of housewives in Alexandria. The study included two parts, a field study and a case study.The field study was carried out on an accidental sample that consisted of 200 housewives from different zones in Alexandria. Data were collected through personal interviews using a questionnaire. A semi-experimental study was carried out using a questionnaire which included an evaluation of agronomic dimensions of storage environment in the homes under study, Anthropometric and vital signs were taken as an indicator of fatigue feeling. In addition to the time consumed to finish storing work was taken as an indicator of achievement rate. This sample consisted of 30 housewives. Data were treated statistically using SPSS (ver 16) program to calculate percentages, frequencies, mean, standard deviation, simple correlation coefficient, one way analysis of variance, partial regression coefficient and T-test. Field study results: 1. Results indicated that evaluation of agronomic dimensions among 71% of the sample were of moderate level of knowledge, 84.5% practice, 56% practice and 67.5 attitudes towards agronomic dimensions were moderate. Moderate level of fatigue feeling and achievement motive were 57% and 65% respectively. 2. There was a significant effect (0.01) of general housing characteristics, agronomic dimensions of storage environment, knowledge, practices and attitudes of the housewives towards home storage during practicing storage work was (54.3%) and on achievement motive ( 31.5%). Semi-experimental study results: 1. There were significant differences (0.01) between systolic blood pressure and diastolic blood pressure as vital signs of fatigue feeling before and after storage work in the kitchen and sleeping area. 2. There was a significant effect (0.01) of agronomic dimensions of storage environment in the kitchen and anthropometric measurements as a whole among housewives on the difference of systolic blood pressure (38.6%) and the difference of diastolic blood pressure (17.1%) and pulse rate (17.9%) as vital signs of fatigue feelings and storage work time (65%) as achievement indicator. 3. There was a significant effect (0.01) of agronomic dimensions of storage environment in sleeping area and anthropometric measurements of housewives on the difference of systolic blood pressure (20.4%) and difference od diastolic blood pressure (46.3%) and pulse rate (37.8%) as vital signs is of fatigue feeling and storage work time (48.5%) as an indicator of achievement. | ||||
