Abstract:
Background: The inhibition of tau hyperphosphorylation is one of the most promising therapeutic targets for the development of Alzheimer’s disease (AD) modifying drugs. Escitalopram, a kind of selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor antidepressant, has been previously reported to ameliorate tau hyperphosphorylation in vitro. Objective: In this study, we determined whether escitalopram alleviates tau pathologies in the aged P301L mouse. Methods: Mice were intraperitoneal injected with either escitalopram or saline for 4 weeks, and a battery of behavioral tests were conducted before tissue collection and biochemical analyses of brain tissue with western blot and immunohistochemistry. Results: Wild-type (Wt) mice statistically outperformed the aged pR5 mice in the Morris water maze, while escitalopram treatment did not significantly rescue learning and memory deficits of aged pR5 mice. Tau phosphorylation at different phosphorylation sites were enhanced in the hippocampus of aged pR5 mice, while escitalopram treatment significantly decreased tau phosphorylation. The levels of phosphorylated GSK-3β and phosphorylated Akt were significantly decreased in the hippocampus of aged pR5 mice, while escitalopram administration markedly increased the expression level. The aged pR5 mice showed significant decreases in PSD95 and PSD93, while the administration of escitalopram significantly increased PSD95 and PSD93 to levels comparable with the Wt mice. Conclusion: The protective effects of escitalopram exposure during advanced AD are mainly associated with significant decrease in tau hyperphosphorylation, increased numbers of neurons, and increased synaptic protein levels, which may via activation of the Akt/GSK-3β signaling pathway.

Abstract:
Diabetes is considered the most common non-communicable disease, coupled with high blood pressure and lipids. Thus, decreasing carbohydrate, sugar, fat and sodium (4Ds) are target behaviors for patients with diabetes to reduce the chance of long-term complications. This two-group, quasi-experimental research was designed mainly to assess the effects of a 4Ds program on dietary behaviors and blood sugar control of patients with type 2 diabetes in Pathumthani Province. Seventy patients were recruited from the sub-district health promotion hospital (HPH) of Muang District. The experimental group attended the program activities based on Bandura’s social learning theory for 12 weeks. Pre- and post-test data were collected using a structured interview questionnaire. T-test was applied to test the program effectiveness. Findings affirmed the effectiveness of the 4Ds program. Because the experimental group gained more knowledge and had higher self-efficacy to manage blood sugar control behaviors, better perceived outcome expectations in modifying the behaviors and significantly less carbohydrate, sugar, fat and sodium consumption than the comparison group was observed (p<0.001). Their average fasting blood sugar (FBS) decreased to the desired controllable level. The average FBS of the comparison group slightly decreased. The FBS of the experimental group was significantly decreased than the comparison group (p<0.001). In designing an intervention, health officers may use self-efficacy as a starting point of the program features and the knowledge required should be relevant to the designed behavioral targets

Abstract. The main research areas of the Social and Health Psychology group at the Department of Psychology at the University of Zurich, Switzerland, are introduced. Exemplarily, three currently ongoing projects are described. The project ”Dyadic exchange processes in couples facing dementia” examines social exchanges in couples with the husband suffering from dementia and is based on Equity Theory. This project applies a multi-method approach by combining self-report with observational data. The ”Swiss Tobacco Monitoring System” (TMS) is a representative survey on smoking behaviour in Switzerland. Besides its survey character, the Swiss TMS also allows for testing psychological research questions on smoking with a representative sample. The project, ”Theory-based planning interventions for changing nutrition behaviour in overweight individuals”, elaborates on the concept of planning. More specifically, it is tested whether there is a critical amount of repetitions of a planning intervention (e.g., three or nine times) in order to ensure long-term effects.

Abstract:
Bakgrunn: Røyking blir fortsatt betraktet som den viktigste forebyggbare årsak til død i ge land. Praktiserende leger er nøkkelpersoner innen tobakksforebygging. Enkel rådgiving, som minimal intervensjon, gitt av allmennleger øker andelen røykfrie pasienter signifikant. Kan en oppsøkende intervensjon gjennomført av en likemann være en egnet metode for å få leger til å ta opp tobakksbruk oftere og på en bedre måte, og kan denne undersøkelsen påvise dette? Hensikt: Hensikten med denne studien er: 1) Vurdere om primærlegene i Agder har endret praksis i perioden 2001-2004 med hensyn til hvor ofte og hvordan de tar opp tobakksbruk med sine pasienter og eventuelle hindringer for dette. 2) Undersøke om oppsøkende intervensjon er en egnet metode for å få leger til å endre praksis ved at de bidrar mer og bedre med individuell røykeintervensjon. Metode: Randomisert kontrollert studie for å undersøke om oppsøkende intervensjon er en egnet metode for å få leger til å endre praksis. Denne studien er sett i lys av en sammenliknende analyse av legenes røykeintervensjon og hindringer for dette i perioden 2001-2004. Resultat: Allmennlegene i Agder har endret praksis i perioden 2001 til 2004. Legene tar oftere opp tobakksbruk uten av pasientene har røykerelaterte symptomer, og det er færre hindringer både for å spørre om røykevaner og for å tilby hjelp til røykeslutt. Studien kan ikke bekrefte at oppsøkende intervensjonen er en egnet metode for å få leger til endre praksis ved at de bidrar mer og bedre med individuell røykeintervensjon. Konklusjon: I perioden 2001-2004 har det vært en signifikant endring i legenes røykeintervensjon og hindringer for dette. Studien kan ikke påvise at legene som fikk opplæringen ”Røykeslutt i praksis” bidrar mer med individuell røykeintervensjon enn kontrollgruppen, og det er heller ikke signifikante forkjeller på hindringer for en slik intervensjon
Background: Cigarette smoking is still considered the leading preventable cause of death in the western world. Physicians constitutes a key personnel in tobacco prevention. Brief advising, such as minimal intervention, performed by general practitioners, GPs, increases the number of smoke free patients significantly. The potential effect of outreach visits performed by a peer educator is a question to be studied. Objective: The objective of this study is: 1) Assesswhether the primary physicians in Agder, during the period 2001 to 2004, have changed their professional practice as tohow often and in which way they discuss smoking habits with their patients and possible barriers to stop them. 2) The study also seeks to determine whether outreach visits constitute an effective method to make GPs change their professional practice by contributing more and better to individual smoking cessation. Method: Randomised controlled study to determine whether outreach visits constitute an effective method to make GPs change their practice. This study is also viewed in the light of a comparative analysis of doctors’ attitude to tobacco prevention over the period 2001-2004. Result: During the period 2001-2004 the GPs in Agder have changed their professional practice. They discuss more frequently tobacco use with patients without smoke-related symptoms, and there are fewer barriers that keep them from asking about smoking habits and from offering assistance with smoking cessation. The effect of outreach visits in improving professional practice cannot be ascertained through this study. Conclusion: During the period 2001-2004 there has been a significant change in the GPs intervention work and fewer barriers to stop them. The GPs who received training through the program “Røykeslutt i praksis” do not contribute to individual smoke intervention any more than the control group. We were unable to detect any significant differences regarding barriers to such intervention

Abstract:
Many diseases can be prevented or mitigated through behaviour change, but we lack a quantitative model that can accurately predict these changes and inform policies designed to promote them. Here we introduce a quantitative model of health behaviour that takes into account individual-level barriers, the health system, and spread between individuals. We investigate limits of the model where each of these determining factors is dominant, and use them to predict behaviour from data. We apply the model to individual-level geographic barriers to mothers giving birth in a health facility, and find evidence that ease-of-access is a major determinant of delivery location. The geographic barriers allow us to explain the observed spatial distribution of this behaviour, and to accurately predict low prevalence regions. We then apply the model to the role of the health system in determining health facility usage by mothers of sick children. We show that local health facility quality does predict usage, but that this predictive power is significantly less than that gained by including unaccounted-for spatial correlation such as social influence. We also show evidence that results-based funding, rather than traditional input-based funding, increases usage. We develop a psychologically-motivated ‘complex contagion’ model for social influence and incorporate it into a general model of behaviour spread. We apply this model to short-lived behavioural fads, and show that ‘nudges’ can be very effective in systems with social influence. We successfully fit the model to data for the online spread of real-world behaviour, and use it to predict the peak time and duration of a fad before the peak occurred. Finally, we discuss ways to incorporate disease state into the model, and to relax the limits used in the rest of the thesis. We consider a model which links health behaviour to disease, and show that complex contagion leads to a feature that is not present in traditional models of disease: the survival of an epidemic depends non-trivially on the initial fraction of the population that is infected. We then introduce two possible models that include both social influence and an inhomogeneous population, and discuss the type of data that might be required to use them predictively. The model introduced here can be used to understand and predict health behaviours, and we therefore believe that it provides a valuable tool for informing policies to combat disease.

Abstract:
The term sedentary refers to a distinct class of activities which involve sitting or reclining and which do not cause an increase in energy expenditure above resting levels. Observational studies have reported positive associations between both sedentary time and the number of hours spent sitting per day, with risk for a number of health outcomes that are independent of moderate to vigorous physical activity (MVPA). The total time spent sitting can be amassed in different patterns (long and short bouts) and different types (watching TV, driving, working at a computer) that may have differential associations with health outcomes as well as different confounders that have yet to be properly explored. Further, limitations in current measures used to quantify sedentary behaviour and the possibility of residual confounding, mean that it is unclear whether the posture of sitting itself represents a risk to health or whether sitting is actually a proxy for low energy expenditure. This thesis aimed to examine; the associations between five separate sitting types with health risk, the prevalence of sitting behaviour in England, and the biological mechanisms which might underpin the observed negative health consequences of sitting. Using data from the Whitehall II cohort study the first four studies of this thesis examined prospective associations between sitting at work, TV viewing, non-TV leisure time sitting, total leisure time sitting (TV and non-TV leisure sitting combined) and total sitting from work and leisure, with four health outcomes; mortality, cardiovascular disease, type II diabetes and obesity. No association between any of the sitting indicators with risk for mortality or incident cardiovascular disease was found. TV viewing and total sitting were associated with an increase in risk for type II diabetes following adjustment for sociodemographic covariates and MVPA, but were attenuated following further adjustment for body mass index. None of the five sitting indicators were associated with incident obesity but being obese prior to the measurement of sitting was associated with the number of reported hours of daily TV viewing. The final study of this thesis examined the acute effect of sustained versus interrupted sitting on glucose and insulin metabolism. Interrupting sitting with repeated short bouts of light intensity walking significantly improved insulin sensitivity while repeated short bouts of standing did not. Sitting is a prevalent behaviour in English adults and varies by socio-demographic characteristics. Previously reported associations between sitting time and health risk may be confounded by light intensity physical activity and obesity. The absence of an effect of repeated standing bouts (a change in posture without a change in energy expenditure) suggests that promoting reductions in sitting without also promoting increases in movement are not likely to lead to improvements in metabolic health. New measures of sedentary behaviour are required that can be used in population studies, and can discriminate between the posture of sitting, standing and very low levels of physical activity of a light intensity. This would permit further studies that are needed to clarify the precise nature of the association between sitting and health.

Abstract:
O diagnóstico precoce da tuberculose é uma das prioridades do Plano Nacional de Controle da Tuberculose, sendo que nas visitas domiciliares dos Agentes Comunitários de Saúde (ACS) está prevista a detecção de casos entre sintomáticos respiratórios e contatos. Dada a importância deste ator no controle da doença, este estudo teve como objetivo analisar o desempenho do ACS no controle da tuberculose em duas modalidades de Atenção Primária à Saúde (APS). Trata-se de um estudo descritivo exploratório de corte transversal realizado no período de junho de 2009 a janeiro de 2010 com 39 ACS da Estratégia Saúde da Família (ESF) e 69 ACS da Unidade Básicas de Saúde (UBS) do município de Ribeirão Preto/SP. A coleta de dados ocorreu mediante a observação da estrutura das unidades de saúde investigadas (roteiro observacional) e por meio de entrevistas direcionadas aos ACS (instrumento com escala Likert de resposta). O plano analítico se deu em dois momentos, inicialmente procedeu à análise descritiva e bivariada, e posteriormente a Análise de Correspondência Múltipla (ACM). Os escores médios das respostas dos entrevistados aos itens do instrumento que continham escala Likert, foram analisados como insatisfatório (valores próximos de 1 e 2), regular (próximo de 3) e satisfatório (próximos de 4 e 5). De acordo com a observação, as modalidades de APS apresentaram fragilidades em relação à estrutura para consecução das ações de controle da tuberculose pelo ACS como ausência de insumos para detecção dos casos da doença, falta de rotina sistematizada e de profissionais responsáveis pelas ações de controle da tuberculose. No julgamento dos ACS, identificaram-se escores satisfatórios relacionados à capacitação e ao preparo dos mesmos para a realização de tais ações. Com relação ao desempenho do ACS, notou-se diferença com significância estatística na investigação dos comunicantes no domicílio, sendo que os ACS inseridos nas UBS questionam mais a presença de tosse entre os comunicantes quando comparados àqueles inscritos nas ESF. Observou-se em ambas as modalidades de APS, escores satisfatórios em relação à identificação de sintomáticos respiratórios na visita domiciliar, a participação dos ACS em discussões sobre a tuberculose na equipe e ao apoio institucional ofertado frente a uma situação de suspeita da doença, e escores insatisfatórios relacionados às ações desenvolvidas pelo ACS na comunidade. Na ACM identificou-se a correspondência entre as ações de controle da tuberculose e a interação dos ACS com a equipe, independente da modalidade de APS, na qual eles se inserem. Ao se cotejarem os resultados obtidos, aponta-se para a necessidade de mudanças no processo de trabalho, consubstanciadas pela qualificação, valorização e motivação do ACS. No que tange às fragilidades que fogem à sua governabilidade, cabe à gestão municipal apoiar dispositivos institucionais para produção em saúde condizente com a complexidade epidemiológica e social da tuberculose.
The early diagnosis of tuberculosis is one of the priorities in the National Tuberculosis Control Plan. Home visits by Community Health Workers (CHW) are expected to include case detection among respiratory symptomatics and contacts. Given the importance of these agents in disease control, this study was aimed at analyzing the performance of CHW in tuberculosis control in two Primary Health Care (PHC) modalities. A descriptive and exploratory cross-sectional study was carried out between June 2009 and January 2010, involving 39 CHW from the Family Health Strategy (FHS) and 69 CHW from Primary Health Care Units in Ribeirão Preto, a city in São Paulo State, Brazil. Data were collected by observing the structure of the health units under analysis (observational script) and through interviews with the CHW (instrument with a Likert-type response scale). Analysis involved two phases. Initially, descriptive and bivariate analysis was applied, followed by Multiple Correspondence Analysis (MCA). The interviewees\' mean answer scores to the instrument items that contained a Likert scale were analyzed as unsatisfactory (scores close to 1 and 2), regular (close to 3) and satisfactory (close to 4 and 5). According to the observation, the PHC modalities revealed weaknesses in their structure to allow the CHW to practice tuberculosis control actions, such as lack of inputs to detect cases of the disease, lack of a systemized routine and of professionals responsible for tuberculosis control actions. According to the CHW, satisfactory scores were identified regarding their training and preparation to accomplish these actions. Concerning the CHW\' performance, a statistically significant difference was observed in the investigation of communicants at home, with the CHW working at Primary Health Care Units inquiring further about the presence of cough among communicants when compared to those working in FHS. In both PHC modalities, satisfactory scores were observed for the identification of respiratory symptomatics during home visits, the CHW\' participation in tuberculosis discussions in the team and the institutional support offered when the presence of the disease was suspected, against unsatisfactory scores for the CHW\' actions in the community. In the MCA, correspondence was identified between tuberculosis control actions and the CHW\' interaction with the team, independently of the PHC modality. The comparison of the results obtained reveals the need for changes in the work process, in the form of qualification, valuation and motivation of the CHW. Regarding the weaknesses they have no control over, municipal managers are responsible for supporting institutional devices to produce health in accordance with the epidemiological and social complexity of tuberculosis.

Abstract:
Abstract This study increases the understanding of young men’s everyday health information literacy and behaviour in relation to their health behaviour, physical health, and socio-demographic characteristics. The conceptual framework of the study builds upon theories of information behaviour, practices and literacy, and health behaviour change. The empirical data were collected with questionnaires (n = 3,293) and physiological measurements (n = 3,063) in 2010 to 2013 at the Finnish Defence Forces’ call-ups, where a population-based sample of young Finnish men could be reached. Everyday health information literacy was studied using a previously developed screening tool, and with a focus on its relationship with health behaviour and physical fitness. Information behaviour was investigated in the context of physical activity, and in relation to men’s readiness to change exercise behaviour according to the Transtheoretical Model. Statistical analyses of the data include multivariate regression analyses, and a critical realist approach was adopted in interpreting the results. The results show that general upper secondary education and higher socio-economic position of a parent increase the likelihood of good health information literacy. Health information literacy is positively associated with health-promoting behaviour and health independent of socio-economic position; confidence in one’s abilities to find, evaluate and use health information is associated with regular exercise and healthy eating habits, and good physical fitness, for example. In the context of physical activity, the practices used to acquire information are associated with the stage of exercise behaviour change. Men in the maintenance stage seek information most actively. Information avoidance, in turn, is connected to low health information literacy, not to the stage of change. The study provides novel knowledge on healthy young people’s everyday health information literacy and behaviour, and on their relationship. It is among the first to investigate health information behaviour in the stages of behaviour change and health information literacy in connection with objectively measured fitness. It proposes a framework for future studies on the relationship between health information literacy and behaviour, and health information outcomes. The results may be utilised when designing tailored health communications and health information literacy education
Tiivistelmä Tutkimus lisää ymmärrystä siitä, millainen yhteys nuorten miesten arkielämän terveystiedon lukutaidolla ja terveystietokäyttäytymisellä on terveyskäyttäytymiseen, fyysiseen terveyteen ja sosiodemografisiin tekijöihin. Sen käsitteellinen viitekehys rakentuu tietokäyttäytymisen ja -käytäntöjen, terveystiedon lukutaidon sekä terveyskäyttäytymisen muutoksen teorioille. Tutkimuksen aineisto kerättiin kyselyillä (n = 3 293) ja fysiologisilla mittauksilla (n = 3 063) vuosina 2010–2013 Puolustusvoimien Oulun alueen kutsuntatilaisuuksissa, joissa oli mahdollista saavuttaa suomalaisten nuorten miesten väestöpohjainen otos. Terveystiedon lukutaitoa arvioitiin aiemmin kehitetyllä seulontavälineellä sekä suhteessa terveyskäyttäytymiseen ja fyysiseen kuntoon. Terveystietokäyttäytymistä tarkasteltiin liikunnan kontekstissa ja suhteessa transteoreettisen mallin mukaiseen liikuntakäyttäytymisen muutosvalmiuteen. Aineistot analysoitiin tilastollisesti monimuuttujamenetelmin, ja tuloksia tulkittiin kriittisen realismin näkökulmasta. Tulokset osoittavat, että lukiokoulutus ja korkeassa sosioekonomisessa asemassa oleva vanhempi lisäävät hyvän arkielämän terveystiedon lukutaidon todennäköisyyttä. Terveystiedon lukutaito on positiivisesti yhteydessä terveyttä edistäviin elintapoihin ja terveyteen sosioekonomisesta asemasta riippumatta. Luottamus omiin kykyihin löytää, arvioida ja ymmärtää terveystietoa on yhteydessä muun muassa säännölliseen liikuntaan ja terveellisiin syömistottumuksiin sekä hyvään fyysiseen kuntoon. Liikunnan kontekstissa terveystietokäytännöt kytkeytyvät käyttäytymisen muutosvaiheeseen. Aktiivisimmin liikuntatietoa hankkivat liikuntakäyttäytymisen ylläpitovaiheessa olevat. Tiedon välttäminen sen sijaan on yhteydessä alhaiseen terveystiedon lukutaitoon, ei muutosvaiheeseen. Tutkimus tuottaa uutta tietoa nuorten, terveiden ihmisten arkielämän terveystiedon lukutaidosta ja terveystietokäyttäytymisestä sekä niiden suhteesta toisiinsa. Uutta on myös terveystietokäytäntöjen tutkiminen terveyskäyttäytymisen muutosvaiheissa ja terveystiedon lukutaidon tarkastelu suhteessa objektiivisesti mitattuun fyysiseen kuntoon. Tutkimuksessa esitetään viitekehys tuleville tutkimuksille terveystiedon lukutaidon ja tietokäytäntöjen vaikutuksesta terveyteen. Tulokset ovat hyödynnettävissä räätälöidyn terveysviestinnän ja terveystiedon lukutaidon koulutuksen suunnittelussa

Bibliography: leaves 75-80.
The impact of an academic course in health psychology on students' health behaviour is assessed. It was contended that this course motivated students to improve their personal health behaviours, as it contained all the elements necessary for persuasion. It was hypothesised that (a) self-reported health behaviour would improve from pre- to post-course assessment, (b) any improvements would not have been maintained at the follow-up evaluation, (c) the components of the Health Belief Model (HBM) would predict the various health behaviours. The subjects were all third year psychology students at the University of Cape Town, attending an optional course in health psychology. They completed a self-report health behaviour questionnaire (Lifestyle Evaluation Questionnaire) prior to commencement of the course and again at the end of the six week course. At a follow-up, eight months after the completion of the course, (86) students who had completed both previous questions were mailed another (LEQ) questionnaire. They were also requested to complete a questionnaire (based on the HBM), assessing their beliefs about health behaviour (the Lifestyle Beliefs Questionnaire). 42 (49%) subjects returned the questionnaires. At-test of mean differences was conducted to determine if the four Lifestyle Evaluation Questionnaire (LEQ) factors - food, exercise, drugs and care - had changed significantly over time. Exercise, food and care behaviour had improved significantly from pre- to post-course assessment to follow-up (p < .05). Hypothesis one was, therefore, partially supported, and hypothesis two was not supported by the findings. A number of explanations for these findings are proposed. In short, it appears that exercising is regarded as more enjoyable and beneficial by a young population than other preventive health behaviours. The HBM components of benefits, barriers, susceptibility, motivation, cues to action, attitude, and enabling variables were regressed against the four LEQ factors to determine if these HBM components could predict the health behaviours. Benefits predicted exercise and drug use, barriers predicted exercise behaviour, and susceptibility predicted drug use. These three HBM components were found by Janz & Becker's (1984) review to be the most powerful predictors of health behaviours. Limitations of this "naturalistic" study are discussed and it is concluded that persuasive communication is necessary to motivate young, healthy adults to practise positive health behaviours.

Abstract:
Rapid ageing of populations globally following reductions in fertility and mortality rates has become one of the most significant demographic features in recent decades. As a low- and middle-income country, Ghana has one of the largest and fastest growing older populations in sub-Saharan Africa, where ageing often occurs ahead of socioeconomic development and provision of health and social care services. Older persons in these contexts often face greater health challenges and various life circumstances including role loss, retirement, irregular incomes and widowhood, which can increase their demand for both formal and informal support. This thesis addresses the effects of the socio-political structure, informal social support and micro-level factors on health and health-seeking behaviour among community-dwelling older persons in Ghana. The theoretical perspectives draw on political economy of ageing, social convoy theory and Andersen5s behavioural model. Using multi-stage stratified cluster cross-sectional survey data of older cohorts (N= 1,200) aged 50 years and older, multivariate generalised Poisson and logit regression models estimated the associations among variables and interaction terms. Although Ghana’s national health insurance scheme (NHIS) enrollment was significantly associated with increased log count of healthcare use (β = 0.237), the relationship was largely a function of health status. Moreover, the NHIS was related with improved time from onset of illness to healthcare use (β = 1.347). However, even with NHIS enrollment, the intermediate (OR = 1.468) and richer groups (OR = 2.149) had higher odds of seeking healthcare compared with the poor. In addition, features of meaningful informal social support including contacts with family and friends, social participation and remittances significantly improved psychological wellbeing and health services utilisation. Somewhat counter-intuitively, spousal cohabitation was associated with decreased health services use (OR = 0.999). Whilst self-rated health revealed a strong positive association with functional status of older persons (fair SRH: β = 1.346; poor SRH: β = 2.422), the relationship differed by gender and also was moderated by marital status for women but not men. The employed and urban residents somewhat surprisingly had lower odds of formal healthcare use. The findings support the hypotheses that interactive impacts of aspects of structural and functional social support and removal of catastrophic healthcare costs are particularly important in older persons’ psychological health and health service utilisation. Nevertheless, Ghana’s NHIS currently apparently lacks the capacity to improve equitable attendance at health facility between poor and non-poor. In contributing to the public health and social policy discourse, this study proposes that, whilst policies to ensure improved health status of older people are recommended, multidimensional social support and NHIS policy should be properly resourced and strengthened so they may act as critical tools for improving health and health services utilization of this marginalized and vulnerable older people in Ghana. Moreover, policies targeting and addressing economic empowerment including universal social pensions and welfare payments should be initiated and maintained to complement the NHIS for older people. The achievement of age-relevant policies and Universal Health Coverage (UCH) as advocated by WHO could be enhanced by adopting some of these suggestions.

Abstract:
Education provides the critical link between the acquisition of knowledge about the determinants of skeletal health and the availability of that knowledge for application by the wider population. Hence it is one strategy with the capacity to reduce the increasing worldwide incidence of skeletal health problems, in particular osteoporosis. An expanding aged population requiring increasing care and support for osteoporosis-induced problems and suffering indicates the need for a concerted response incorporating education. Although osteoporosis is typically associated with old age, the nature of precipitating factors causing bone resorption to exceed that of accretion, and how these factors might be influenced to alter such outcomes are incompletely understood. However, there is increasing evidence, largely from cross-sectional studies, showing that environmental factors such as physical activity and nutrition play a significant role in optimising the genetic potential for the development of peak bone mass. There is also growing speculation that interventions which promote these factors during childhood and adolescence may increase peak bone mass, thus delaying the development of porotic bone. Al though the optimal dose levels for maximising the effects of these factors have yet to be established, there is sufficient evidence to support the manipulation of these factors to enhance bone accumulation. Therefore, the general aim of this thesis was to examine the effects of a skeletal health educational intervention on bone-enhancing lifestyle practices of adolescent girls. A definite association between skeletal health education and the adoption of lifestyle practices regarded as beneficial to bone growth and development had not been established in the literature. Therefore, the project needed to develop an original educational intervention program focused on these practices, prior to implementation and evaluation. Based on Social Cognitive Theory and current health education practice, this program emphasised the adoption of specific health behaviours and the outcomes, therefore, in addition to the intervention outcomes, the implementation process was assessed. Responses to this process were obtained from the adolescent girl participants and the teacher-observers using questionnaires and focus group discussions. The respondents found the program and its application very effective and beneficial. The effect of educational interventions on related interaction between mother /daughter couples who participate in the interventions together has not been established in the literature. Therefore, a small group of mothers and their adolescent daughters participated in a separate implementation of the program. Over the subsequent four weeks, they recorded the nature and frequency of interactions which related to the skeletal health program. This study revealed that joint participation in the program resulted in several forms of cooperative interaction. Although this involved moderate levels of active interaction in physical activity and food organization sessions, the dominant areas were verbal communication and shared eating experiences at meal times. In summary, health behaviours were maintained at or above recommended levels during the intervention and over the subsequent six months. Knowledge and body image satisfaction were the only health behaviour indicators which increased significantly during the intervention and this increase was largely retained six months later. From a curriculum evaluation perspective, the positive results for both the process and outcome measures of the intervention supported its utility. The substantial amount of mother/daughter interaction resulting from their joint participation in the intervention indicates the potential of this such initiatives to enhance educational outcomes,development of the knowledge, attitude, belief and skill indicators of these behaviours. The program was implemented in seven weekly sessions of 45 minutes to 13 year old adolescent girls in two similar girls catholic colleges. The intervention group of 97 girls from three year 8 classes at one college represented the total cohort of that age group. The comparison group comprised one year 8 class of 32 girls from the second college. Data on the health behaviour and health behaviour indicators were collected from this convenience sample of 129 adolescent girls using a pre-test/post-test/follow-up design. An examination of results from qualitative and quantitative data revealed differential intervention impacts. No significant intervention effects (P < 0.05) were found for the important bone influencing behaviours of calcium intake, physical activity participation, alcohol consumption, cigarette use and caffeine intake. However, the girls commenced the study with calcium intake and physical activity participation at or above recommended levels, and extremely low drug usage. This pattern of behaviour was maintained throughout the study. The health behaviour indicator results revealed that the intervention girls acquired significantly more skeletal health knowledge than their comparison group (P < 0.001) and that this knowledge was largely retained over the following six months. This finding suggests that the intervention was very effective in establishing knowledge needed as a foundation for any further skeletal health initiatives. Body image satisfaction also increased significantly (P < 0.05) and much of this increase was retained six months later. However, when an importance dimension was added to this measure of satisfaction, the significant, between-group difference was not sustained. Self-efficacy for physical activity and for sensible eating did not show significant between-group differences. Similarly changes in the expected outcomes and perceived barriers for these behaviours did not vary significantly between the two groups of girls.

Abstract:
Background: Recently there has been increased interest in family-based interventions both to deter adolescent substance abuse in general and to prevent adolescent cigarette smoking specifically. The purpose of this study was to investigate the association between family behavior of smoking and smoking behavior in adolescents. Subjects and Method: A meta-analysis and systematic review was conducted by collecting published articles from 2000 to 2020 in PubMed, Springer Link, and Google Scholar databases. This study used “parenting style” OR “family influence” AND “smoking” AND “behaviour” AND “adolescents” AND “cross sectional” keywords to obtain the articles. The inclusion criteria were full text, using English or Indonesia language, and using cross-sectional study. The selected articles were analyzed by Revman 5.3. Results: 6 articles from Lithuania, Kelantan, China, Weh Island (Indonesia), and United States reported that smoking behavior of family member increased the likelihood of smoking behavior in adolescents (aOR= 2.05; 95% CI= 1.69 to 2.49, p<0.001) with I2= 0%. Conclusion: Smoking behavior of family member increases the likelihood of smoking behavior in adolescents.

Abstract:
Background: Adolescents living in institutional settings are more susceptible to the EBPs than others as they are deprived of a family's love, support, attachment and care. Objective: To assess the prevalence of EBPs among adolescents and explore the perceptions of caretakers living in children’s home. Method: A mixed method, descriptive cross-sectional study among 134 adolescents from 5 children’s homes of Gokarneshwor Municipality, was done. All the adolescents from 10-19 years living in the children’s home were assessed using a self-administered questionnaire, Youth Self-Report (YSR-11/18) 2001, developed by Achenbach System of Empirical Based Assessment and self-developed socio- demographic questionnaires. Data was coded and analyzed using SPSS (25). Descriptive statistics and Chi square were used to analyze the quantitative data, while narrative summary was used for qualitative through IDI. Results: Prevalence of EBPs was 48.5% among the adolescents. While the EBPs factors prevalence was found to be anxious depression (46.3%), withdrawn depressed (46.3%), attention problems (46.3%), somatic complaints (50.7%), social problems (42.5%), thought problems (38.8%), attention problems (46.3%), rule breaking behaviour (41%) and aggressive problems (50%). The occurrence of EBPs was significantly associated with status of adolescent (ꭓ2=6.015, p=0.014, df=1). Similarly, there was the significant association between dependent variable (prevalence of EBPs and EBP variables such as anxious depressed (ꭓ2=20.078, p<0.001, df=1), withdrawn depressed (ꭓ2=38.616, p<0.001, df=1), social problems (ꭓ2=32.678, p<0.001, df=1), attention problems (ꭓ2=30.479, p<0.001, df=1), rule breaking behavior (ꭓ2=25.322, p<0.001, df=1), thought problems (ꭓ2=31.14, p<0.001, df=1), somatic complaints (ꭓ2=20.248, p<0.001, df=1) and aggressive problem (ꭓ2=32.536, p<0.001, df=1). Conclusion: EBPs are a serious mental health concern among adolescents and especially living in children’s homes. The provision of the appropriate counseling, life skill educations and ECAs engagements help to address the EBP factors.

Abstract:
The aim of this study was to make a method usable in an early detection of malfunction, e.g., abnormal vibration/fluctuation in recorded signals. We conducted experimentations of heart health and structural health monitoring. We collected natural world signals, e.g., heartbeat fluctuation and mechanical vibration. For the analysis, we used modified detrended fluctuation analysis (mDFA) method that we have made recently. mDFA calculated the scaling exponent (SI, the acronym SI is derived from the scaling indices) from the time series data, e.g., R-R interval time series obtained from electrocardiograms. In the present study, peaks were identified by our own method. In every single mDFA computation, we identified ∼2000 consecutive peaks from a data: “2000” was necessary number to conduct mDFA. mDFA was able to distinguish between normal and abnormal behaviors: Normal healthy hearts exhibited an SI around 1.0, which is a phenomena comparable to 1/f fluctuation. Job-related stressful hearts and extrasystolic hearts both exhibited a low SI such as 0.7. Normally running car’s vibration — recorded steering wheel vibration — exhibited an SI around 0.5, which is white noise like fluctuation. Normally spinning ball-bearings (BB) exhibited an SI around 0.1, which belongs to the anti-correlation phenomena. A malfunctioning BB showed an increased SI. At an SI value over 0.2, an inspector must check BB’s correct functioning. Here we propose that healthiness in various cyclic vibration behaviors can be quantitatively analyzed by mDFA.

Abstract:
Review question / Objective: To identify how much and what is already known about health-seeking behavior (HSB) among the Arab patients who experienced infertility. Our purpose is to map and describe the studies that have been done and what they assessed concerning HSB among patients who experienced infertility. This includes the studies which address the factors affecting HSB. This review is conducted to display gaps in HSB literature and to inform a systematic review in the Arab countries. Condition being studied: The review will study research articles which addressed the HSB among couples, men, or women suffering from infertility. We adopted the definition of HSB by Ward et al. (1997) which is the actions undertaken by the patients who perceive themselves as infertile for the purpose to conceive and get children (Ward, Mertens, & Thomas, 1997). This could be any action ranged from neglect to seeking advanced infertility care. We will study the operational definition of HSB in each study, HSB model, rate of seeking medical care and type of care sought, other sources of help sought, and factors influencing HSB. In addition, we will describe how HSB was studied by defining the characteristics of the retrieved studies including design, setting, participants, and sample size, and infertility operational definition.

Full text
Abstract:
Smoking, poor diet, physical inactivity and harmful alcohol use are leading risk factors driving the UK’s high burden of preventable ill health and premature mortality. All are socioeconomically patterned and contribute significantly to widening health inequalities. This Health Foundation report summarises recent trends for each of these risk factors and looks at national-level policies for England, introduced or proposed by the UK government between 2016 and 2021. The report reviews the government’s approach and finds a heavy reliance on policies aimed at changing individual behaviour and an uneven approach across risk factors, with particularly weak action on alcohol. The report also identifies that decision making across departments has been disjointed, undermining health improvement targets.

Review question / Objective: The aim of this scoping review is to scope the body of literature, clarify concepts, investigate research conduct and to identify knowledge gaps about the physical activity (PA) behavior in a context of planetary health. The proposed study will review the existing literature considering PA beyond the scope of mere health behaviour, focusing on its potential impacts on planetary health and sustainable development. We will differentiate the PA behavior of the PA facilities or context like green-space or blue-space. Specific objectives are to provide knowledge about: 1. Which PA behaviors are sustainable for the planet and which are not. 2. What are the characteristics of sustainable PA behaviors. 3. What are the positive and negative impacts of PA behaviors on planetary health. Condition being studied: In this case, it is studied how the active lifestyle and the practice of physical activities, exercise or sports of people affect planetary health.

Full text
Abstract:
Traditional healers are important healthcare providers in a number of societies for a variety of healthcare concerns, including sexually transmitted diseases (STDs) and HIV. However, some traditional healing practices are risk factors for HIV infection, such as male circumcision using unsterilized equipment. The provision of training for traditional healers about STDs, HIV and evidence based medicine is seen as a way to improve their knowledge, reduce risk behaviours, and improve acceptance of and collaboration with formal health services. Training could also increase referrals to the formal health services.

Abstract:
This literature review focuses on the effects of remote learning on mental health, including acute mental health issues and possible ongoing implications for student wellbeing and socialisation. It provides an overview of some of the challenges that can impact on the mental health and relationships of young people, many of which have accelerated or become more complex during the COVID-19 pandemic. In the light of concern about rising antisocial behaviour and extremism there is a focus on socialisation and self-regulation on return to school post-pandemic. In the face of limited Australian research on these topics, the review takes a global focus and includes experiences from other countries as evidenced in the emerging research literature. Based on these findings the review offers advice to school leaders regarding the self-regulatory behaviours of students on return to school after periods of remote learning, and addresses social and emotional considerations as students transition back to school. It also considers ways in which schools can promote wellbeing and respond to mental health concerns as a way to address and prevent antisocial behaviours, recognise manifestations in extremism (including religious fundamentalism), and challenge a general rise in extremist views.

Abstract:
Review question / Objective: This scoping review aims to explore the literature to identify the types, scope and quality of evidence underpinning clinical assessment of deaf adults with learning disabilities, with or without autism, with mental health issues and/or challenging behaviour. Deaf adults are included in the review regardless of their communication modality, e.g. signed or spoken language, or other methods. The results of this review will inform considerations for future research and inform clinical practice. As an experiential type review, the PICO framework (Richardson et al. 1995) guides the question formulation. The review question is: what are the types, quality and extent of evidence that underpin clinical assessment of the mental health of deaf adults with learning disabilities?
