Introduction There is a paucity of knowledge regarding adolescent's preferences for care. The health related problems they face have implications for individuals and nations. Objectives To determine the health problems and needs of adolescents, their knowledge, use of, and preferences for health related services and service providers. Study design A descriptive study involving a two-stage probability sample. An interview schedule was designed for data collection. Setting Eight randomly selected main-stream high schools in Stoke-on-Trent, England. Subjects One hundred and eleven males and 142 females aged 14 and 15 years between 1 st April and 30th June 1994. Results The adolescents had unmet problems and needs relating to lifestyle and risk-taking behaviour, sexual and reproductive health, and emotional problems, influenced by socio-economic and legislative factors. Services were used primarily for physical problems. Knowledge of the location and opening times of two local contraceptive services for adolescents was poor (10/253,4%). Factors they associated with confidentiality were identified. Preferences for service providers varied with the nature of the problem. The girls were more likely to give advice to peers regarding substance abuse, and issues relating to sexual and reproductive health, and expressed a greater preference for advice from peers on these issues. The services the adolescents wanted to see provided were appropriate to their needs and reflected a holistic concept of health. Conclusions • The Health of the Nation targets will not be met unless these problems and needs are addressed. • Potential intervention points for health promotion are being missed. • Local services must be widely advertised. • Adolescents need specific reassurance from service providers that their care will be confidential. • Positive actions adolescents are prepared to take need reinforcing. • Peer counselling programmes might be expected to have a greater positive impact on girls. • Adolescents' opinions regarding service provision must be taken into account.

It is accepted protocol among Indigenous communities to identify one's link to land. I was born and raised in Brisbane. My birth grandmother is a Goreng Goreng woman, my birth grandfather is a Punthamara man. However, I was adopted by a Koombumberri man and an anglo-celtic mother after being removed at birth under the Queensland government policy of the day. The action of my removal and placement has had profound effects upon my growing and my place within my community today. For the last 15 years I have worked in the health sector. My current position is as a Lecturer within the Department of Nursing, Faculty of Science, University of Southern Queensland, Toowoomba. My areas of expertise are Indigenous Health and Primary Health Care. I have been employed in this capacity since January 2000. Prior to my full time employment as a nursing academic I have primarily been located within three areas of health which have directly impacted upon my current research. I was first positioned within health by undertaking my General Nurse Certificate through hospital-based training commenced in the late 1980s. For me this training meant being immersed within whiteness and specifically the white medical model. This meant learning a set of skills in a large institutionalised health care service with the provision of doctors, nurses, and allied medical staff through a hospital. Within this training there was no Indigenous health curriculum. The lectures provided on 'differing cultures' and health were on Muslim and Hindu beliefs about death. At that point I was painfully aware of the glaring omission of any representation of Indigenous health and of acknowledgment of the current outstanding health differentials between Indigenous and non-Indigenous Australians. I knew that the colonisation process inflicted upon Indigenous Australians was one of devastation. The decline in our health status at the time of colonisation had been felt immediately. Since this time our health has been in decline. While in the 1980s it was now no longer acceptable to shoot us, poison our waterholes, and incarcerate us on missions, we were still experiencing the influence of the colonisation process, which had strong repercussions for our current health status. Our communities were and remain rife with substance abuse, violence, unemployment, and much more. For Indigenous Australians these factors cannot be separated from our initial experience of the colonisation process but are seen as the continuation of it. However, there was no representation of this and I received my first health qualification.

Brazier, John Edward. „Valuing health benefits : the development of a preference-based measure of health for use in the economic evaluation of health care from the SF-36 health survey“. Thesis, University of Sheffield, 1997. http://etheses.whiterose.ac.uk/5997/.

Der volle Inhalt der Quelle

Annotation:

The main aim of the research was to develop a preference-based measure of health from the Short Form-36 (SF-36) Health Survey for valuing health-related quality of life on a 0 to 1 scale in order to calculate Quality adjusted life years (QALYs). Before undertaking the empirical work, reviews were undertaken of the justification for the QALY approach, existing preference-based measures for deriving QALYs and the rationale for looking at the SF-36. The methods of the research were as follows. The SF-36 was reduced and simplified to form a six dimensional health state classification (SF-6D) amenable to valuation. One hundred and sixty five patients, health professionals, managers, and students valued a sample of health states defined by the SF-6D using the visual analogue scale (VAS) and standard gamble (SG) techniques to elicit preferences. There were 1,357 VAS and 1,037 SG health state valuations after adjustment and exclusions for major inconsistencies. Models for predicting median and mean VAS and SG health state values from the SF-6D were estimated from these data by multivariate techniques. A set of additive models were selected on the basis of goodness of fit and parsimony. More complex specifications did not improve the models. Initial applications of algorithms based on these models to five data sets suggested this new preference-based measure retained much of sensitivity of the SF-36 at the milder end of the of the illness spectrum. The preference-based algorithms can be used to transform SF-36 data collected in a clinical trial (with costs) into information suitable for assessing the cost-effectiveness of health care interventions. The adoption of these algorithms has the potential to considerably extend the application of economic evaluation in health care.

Annotation:

This system is concerned with the design and implementation of a community health information system which fulfils some of the local needs of fourteen nursing and para-medical professions in a district health authority, whilst satisfying the statutory requirements of the NHS Korner steering group for those professions. A national survey of community health computer applications, documented in the form of an applications register, shows the need for such a system. A series of general requirements for an informations systems design methodology are identified, together with specific requirements for this problem situation. A number of existing methodologies are reviewed, but none of these were appropriate for this application. Some existing approaches, tools and techniques are used to define a more suitable methodology. It is unreasonable to rely on one single general methodology for all types of application development. There is a need for pragmatism, adaptation and flexibility. In this research, participation in the development stages by those who will eventually use the system was thought desirable. This was achieved by forming a representative design group. Results would seem to show a highly favourable response from users to this participation which contributed to the overall success of the system implemented. A prototype was developed for the chiropody and school nursing staff groups of Darlington health authority, and evaluations show that a significant number of the problems and objectives of those groups have been successfully addressed; the value of community health information has been increased; and information has been successfully fed back to staff and better utilised.

Annotation:

A descriptive design was used to describe five client outcome scales as potential measures of quality care in home health care: discharge status, client satisfaction, medication adherence, general symptom distress and caregiver strain. The conceptual model used necessitated three separate samples: a discharged sample of 20 clients, an active client sample of 14 subjects and a caregiver sample of three subjects for a total of 37 subjects. Structured interviews and questionnaires were used; descriptive statistics were applied to scores. The most notable indicator of quality of care, the medication adherence scale, showed all clients taking medications as prescribed. The primary reason for discharge showed that the client could manage without further services. Clients reported that they were somewhat satisfied or very satisfied with services. Caregivers reported a low perceived level of stress. The scales measuring discharge status and symptom distress need further investigation to determine if they are true indicators of the concept of quality care.

Annotation:

This study examined whether Latino immigrants’ community environment influenced perceptions about the meaning of mental health and accessing mental health services. The two environments analyzed in were an exclusively Latino community (primarily Latino members) and a diverse community (composed of different ethnicities including Latinos). The research method used in this study was a qualitative survey design. A semi-structured interview guideline with questions on the meaning of mental health, mental health services access, and community norms on mental health was utilized with 24 respondents. Responses were then analyzed to find themes. Findings from this study found similarities as well as differences in the two groups in seeking mental health services. Differences were more commonly in the details of the responses rather than in the themes of the responses. The finding will help social workers, who provide a large percentage of mental health services, understand the individual, the barriers, and the importance of social environments in seeking mental health services.

Annotation:

This thesis offers a review of the historical development of telemedicine services in remote health care. It addresses the professional concerns in practising medicine in isolated conditions, and the advances in telecommunications technology since the telephone was invented. It also examines the application of telemedicine in remote environments across the world, such as in indigenous communities, remote industrial work sites and at scientific bases in Antarctica. At its most exotic, a review is offered of the health care for space crews. The literature review highlights a number of concerns about the state of the art knowledge on remote health care services. These concerns are the minimal training requirements of individuals who act as health care practitioners in the remote environment, the additional training requirement upon the advising medical practitioner, and the design of a system for the collection of clinical information from the patient. In response to the above a two year study was conducted. Quantitative and qualitative observation of remote health care consultations was undertaken. The environments studied were simulation cases occurring in the UK and Antarctica, and real cases presenting on oil installations in the North Sea. The study results answer the original concerns about the training levels, data collection and communications components of a remote health care service. In addition, they offer valuable input towards the design of a telemedicine model for remote health care. The telemedicine model is presented as a framework upon which future developments in the field of telemedicine may be approached.

Annotation:

Seniors 75 years of age and older, the majority of whom live in the community, constitute a segment of the population that is vulnerable to loss of autonomy. Indeed many community dwelling seniors have difficulty performing daily living activities, such as bathing, toileting, walking, preparing meals and housekeeping.
In the setting of a population based cohort study of community-dwelling seniors 75 years of age or older, we examined the effect of unmet needs for community services for activities of daily living (ADL) and instrumental activities of daily living (IADL) on health services utilization. Self-perceived unmet need status was determined using a baseline in-home interview. A total of 839 subjects were recruited from the Greater Montreal Region, Quebec, Canada, using random telephone number dialling.
Health services utilization data were obtained from administrative databases from the Quebec Health Insurance Board (Regie de l'Assurance-Maladie du Quebec - RAMQ). Multivariable negative binomial regression models were used to examine the association between unmet need status and health services utilization during the six month period following the baseline interview.
The results of this study indicate that unmet needs are associated with higher rates of emergency department visits, hospitalization and prescription drug use. No statistically significant association was found between unmet needs and physician utilization among single seniors, although married seniors with unmet needs in activities of daily living had 2.8 times the rate of medical specialist visits as compared to those who reported no unmet ADL needs.
Unmet need for community services among the elderly has implications for the use of more expensive acute and long-term health care services. The results of this research suggest that developing programs to address unmet needs in the elderly population can potentially reduce health services utilization by the elderly.

Der volle Inhalt der Quelle

Annotation:

This study investigates the ways in which nurses socially construct their health value systems and the ways in which they interpret their nursing practices. On the basis of the contradictions uncovered by the research, a new approach to health education is suggested, structured around a Lived Experience Model of Health Education the core of which is an intensified reflective practice. The model seeks to build the capacity for critical practice, closely integrating theory and practice, into nurses' modes of constructing a lay ideology based on their clinical and personal experience. Herein lies a fundamental difference between this model and other health education models, which have tended to be too narrowly focused on the individual and as a result have perpetuated a victim blaming ideology. The thesis begins with a desk study of the British dimension of a coming international crisis in the funding of public health, to which the general response has been a shift away from state support for bio-medically dominated health systems to systems based on the central concepts of health promotion and health education. The desk study argues that in Britain this has become as much an ideological issue as a practical one, with liberal notions of free market individualism prominent in public policy, and relevant sociological findings played down. Before embarking on the field study, the thesis considers whether or not a Health Locus of Control study might give enough insight into the basis for nurses' health education practices to explain why many nurses seem resistant to change, and therefore why perhaps they have had so little effect on patterns of social morbidity. This was rejected partly because of the methodological problems uncovered in a range of prior Locus of Control studies, but mainly because the method offers no way of engaging with sociologically identified inequities in morbidity and mortality rates. Nor was it felt that standard quantitative methods of research would enable the study to explore the complex ideological issues involved in nurses' social constructions of health. The decision was taken to employ a methodology based around qualitative interviews using the method of hierarchical focusing, which allows the interviewer to probe seamlessly matters at different levels of generality and specificity. In the field work study the general ideological tendency revealed in the desk study is shown to have a marked effect on nurses' constructions of their roles as health practitioners. The subjects, a group of experienced nurses, were asked a number of questions concerning their views of what constituted good and poor health and the causes for this. When the transcripts of the interview recordings were analysed using content analysis, it was clear that much of what was said was logocentric and heavily influenced by bio-medical discourse in spite of the subjects talking freely about holistic nursing. In fact there were contradictory and anomalous messages throughout the transcripts, so it was decided to subject these to a form of discourse analysis which revealed the existence of two opposing value positions held without any feeling of contradiction by a number of respondents: a holistic view - the public account, and a victim-blaming view - the private account. In order to gauge the effect of such views on nursing practice a further group of experienced nurses was given a series of nursing vignettes to analyse. The results showed that there appear to be two types of nurses: a reflexive group that is able to take on the complex issues involved in caring in the postmodern context and one, much the larger group, whose members have failed to resolve the contradictions in the prevailing ideology, who tend to fall back on victim-blaming and on bio-medical perspectives. Of course, this needs much more research to establish as a general pattern. However, there was enough clear evidence of ideological influences blocking the development of nurses' understanding and health practices to suggest the need for a new way of working with trainee nurses, much more sharply aimed at the development of critical consciousness in the practice situation. All the lessons of the research have been incorporated in the design of the new model.

That reflection has been given in the form of an Adlerian life style analysis, a psychological assessment for individuals modified as assessment of a group. The reflected impression provided its own image for change and an opportunity for the participants to assess what impact, if any, their jobs might be having on other aspects of their lives. In the process of informing the participants about themselves, there has been the intent to give that same information to the people who come for services, supervisors, administrators, policy makers, and ultimately the community of academics and scholars. The author of this study functioned as a co-worker with the other participants, becoming a part of that system which she was observing. The job gave wide access for observation and work with the participants in a variety of settings. The primary interactions took place in the homes of families referred for alleged child abuse and neglect, to include sexual abuse. The methodology allowed the research effort to be one of exploration and evolution. Based on the notion expressed by Carol Ehrlich that people can do research for and about themselves rather than having others do it for them, it drew from several theorists, described in order of their use in the study: H.T.Wilson, Brian Fay, Alfred Adler, Stephen Fawcett, and George Gazda. Presenting one subjective view of reality, conclusions of the study pointed to unconscious guilt on the part of participants with respect to system inadequacies, marked by a desire to feel superior in the helping relationship or in the relationship with those perceived to have authority over them. Unaware of these feelings, and in the simple performance of their jobs, the participants help to perpetuate the systems in which they work and often purport to deplore.

The research study was aimed at exploring the narratives of motivations and challenges that home-based health care workers experience in their voluntary service provision. It was conducted in East London in Buffalo City Metropolitan Municipality. A total of seven participants who volunteer in home based care programmes were interviewed and their mean age was 30 years; all were females, two married, one a widow, one divorced and two single females. The narrative framework was used to explore the volunteers' interpretation of volunteering experiences, highlighting themes that emerged on what encourages them to volunteer as home based health care workers, and how they deal with challenges that arise during the provision of services. The research was also aimed at exploring the social factors supporting the volunteers' decision to continue volunteering. Narratives from the interviewed community health workers [CHWs] indicate that the motives for participating in CHW programmes are mainly altruistic although people are sometimes motivated by self-interest. Self-interest seems to be particularly relevant in the case of the younger volunteers as they expressed their hope that providing voluntary service may help to enhance their skills so as to facilitate future learning and employment prospects. The recurring themes within the CHWs' narrative indicate that they identify with the helping role and feel it empowers them as they participate in meaningful ways in their communities, and they gain strength to cope with challenges that come with community health work. This study highlighted the complex nature of home based care roles, which inevitably reflect the intervention approach, the mode of working, professional roles and relationships with communities.

This thesis describes a study that estimated the health care need for prostatectomy in a typical district of 250,000, among men who have both the appropriate indications for treatment and who would choose treatment if offered. It established the appropriate indications for prostatectomy using a literature review and a nominal group type consensus panel consisting of 6 urologists and 3 general practitioners. These were expressed in terms of different combinations of type of retention, type and severity of symptoms, and level of comorbidity. A 2-stage community survey of 2000 men aged 55 and over randomly selected from 8 general practices, using postal questionnaires, was conducted in North West Thames health region. The surveys collected information about: (1) self-reported frequency and severity of lower urinary tract symptoms; (2) the impact of these symptoms on daily activities and on health status; (3) the advice-seeking behaviour of men with symptoms and consequent action of GPs and urologists; and (4) patient preference for treatment. These results were combined to estimate the number of prostatectomies required in a typical district. The overall response rate was 66% (initial survey=78%, follow-up survey=84%). 20% of men reported moderate or severe lower urinary tract symptoms. Of these, 28% found their symptoms to be a medium or big problem and that, depending on the activity, between 9% and 39% experienced interference with their daily activities. Health status, as measured by either the Nottingham Health Profile or the SF-36, worsened as symptom severity increased. Forty five per cent of men with symptoms had seen their general practitioner for their symptoms. Of these, 62% were referred on to a urologist, of which the majority (71 %) were offered, and accepted surgery. When presented with details and information on the risks and benefits of prostatectomy, a substantial proportion (22%) of men with lower urinary tract symptoms, reported that they would probably, or definitely, refuse treatment, while a 47% of men were unsure. The estimate of required number of prostatectomies in a district with a population of 250,000 ranged from 225 to 4329 depending on the level of appropriateness, symptom severity and preference adopted. The decision about which estimate to use in purchasing prostatectomy for lower urinary tract symptoms must be made by local authorities.

The Scottish Heart Health Study was conducted in response to a report by a Working Group of the Chief Scientist Organisation and followed an initial of the Cardiovascular Epidemiology Unit. The aims of the study were to establish the levels of coronary risk factors in Scotland, to determine the extent to which these risks factors explained the geographical variation in coronary heart disease, and their relative contribution to the prediction of coronary heart disease in a cohort of men and women.The Scottish Heart Health Study is a study of lifestyle and coronary heart disease risk factors in 10 359 men and women aged 40-59 years, in 22 districts of Scotland. The study was conducted in 1984-86, when Scotland had the highest national coronary mortality reported by the World Health Organisation. The study employed standardised methods emphasing quality e4 control based on a World Health Organisation protocol to allow comparisons in place and time, and therefore to provide a definitive baseline against which interventions can be assessed. The cross sectional aspect of the study has been analysed and addresses the first two study objectives. The third objective will only be achieved when sufficient prospective coronary events have occurred.Current cigarette smokers constitute 39% of men and 38% of women, higher levels than those reported in England but lower than previous Scottish reports. Considerable variation in smoking was noted across the study districts from 29% to 52% in men. Mean blood pressure levels were 134/84 mmHg for men and 131/81 mmHg in women, these levels are lower than previous studies in Britain and there was a narrow range of levels across the districts. Mean levels of blood cholesterol were 6.4 mmol/l in men and 6.6 mmol/l in women - as high as other British studies and high by international standards. There was little geographical variation in blood cholesterol noted.High levels of blood cholesterol and cigarette smoking provide a classical explanation for the excess coronary deaths in Scotland, justifying action, but other factors, such as dietary deficiencies, also merit further investigation. The geographical variation in coronary mortality can best be explained by a group of risk factors which all show a social gradient and these include cigarette smoking, physical activity, blood pressure, and the consumption of alcohol, fruit and green vegetables.
