Hunter, Duncan James Webb. "Assessing health care need for prostatectomy." Thesis, London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine (University of London), 1995. http://researchonline.lshtm.ac.uk/682257/.

Full text
Abstract:
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.

Jones, Steven C. "Assessing the Need for Evaluator Certification." DigitalCommons@USU, 2001. https://digitalcommons.usu.edu/etd/6163.

Full text
Abstract:
Professional certification is arguably a means of validating a practitioner's competency within their trade. Certification can also be beneficial for enhancing a profession's prestige, improving academic programs, and helping to define the profession in question. However, certification can be considered not feasible, effective, or perhaps even necessary. Due to the likelihood of these conflicting viewpoints, it is essential for any profession to determine the support level from its members prior to implementing a certification process. This thesis presents the results from a 1998 survey for the American Evaluation Association, whereby their members responded to items regarding the need, effectiveness, feasibility of enacting a certification system for professional evaluators. Respondents were mixed in their attitudes. A slight majority indicated a certification system could be feasible. However, more respondents were unconfident than confident that certification can be effective or is even necessary; additionally, many were undecided on these issues.

Abstract:
Effective communication is an important concern when working with individuals with hearing loss. This concern is apparent in the long-term elder care setting, where caregivers communicate with older adult patients every day, many of whom have hearing loss. However, there is limited training available to these caregivers working with residents with hearing loss. The purpose of this project is to establish the need and context for the development of an educational program for caregivers working with these residents with hearing loss. A total of 38 caregivers employed by three elder care facilities in Tucson, Arizona were surveyed. Results from this survey demonstrated that caregiver respondents felt they are knowledgeable and comfortable working with residents with hearing loss. However, there was an apparent gap as caregivers also reported that the presence of hearing loss among residents makes their jobs more difficult and stressful. Furthermore, they reported feeling that hearing loss impacts communication with residents and negatively effects the quality of care. Based on the findings of this survey, there is a need identified for educational opportunities for caregivers working with residents with hearing loss. The findings from this survey provide a foundation for the establishment of hearing health continuing education programs for caregivers working in long term elder care facilities. Specific recommendations regarding potential content of training programs are offered based on the survey findings. Implementation of caregiver trainings may ultimately lead to improved caregiver-resident communication and positively impact the quality of life for residents with hearing loss.

Ryu, Jae-in. "Differences in estimates of dental treatment needs and workforce requirements between the standard normative need (WHO model) and sociodental approach to assessing dental need." Thesis, University College London (University of London), 2006. http://discovery.ucl.ac.uk/1445035/.

Full text
Abstract:
Background. Most dental planners use the normative approach for dental workforce planning. An alternative, the sociodental approach of need assessments has been developed to assess dental needs. Studies indicate large differences in needs assessed using the two methods.;Objectives. To assess and compare dental needs and manpower required for dental care of a sample of adult Koreans aged 30 to 64 years using the normative and the sociodental need approaches for three dental treatments restorative, prosthetic and periodontal treatments.;Methods. Assessments of dental needs and time required to treat using two approaches were based on analysis of data obtained from a sub-sample of 1029 30-64 year-old-adults from the 2003 Korean National Oral Health Survey. They were clinically examined for normative needs and interviewed using an Oral Health Related Quality of Life (OHRQoL) measure and their oral health related behaviours to assess propensity. Two needs methods were generated: 1. Normative Need (NN) defined by dental professionals 2. Socio-Dental Approach (SDA) that includes Impact-Related Needs (IRN) using an OHRQoL measure, OIDP, and Propensity-Related Needs (PRN). Amount of dental needs, time to treat, and numbers of dentists needed per 100,000 people were estimated for restorative, prosthetic, and periodontal treatments using NN, IRN and PRN.;Results. Significant differences of about 72% existed between estimates of need for prosthetic treatment using NN and IRN. In workforce estimates, the differences in dentists required to treat 100,000 people were 87.1 dentists would be needed using NN compared to 22.8 dentists for IRN and 18.9 for PRN for prosthetic treatment 22.5 dentists using NN compared to 15.9 or 2.7 using PRN for periodontal treatment and 8.8 dentists using NN compared to 6.6 for PRN for restorative treatment.;Conclusions. The socio-dental approach for assessing dental needs found lower levels of treatment need than the normative approach. The socio-dental approach should be applied to dental workforce planning.

Al-Darmaki, Salem A. "Assessing the need for community health nursing services in the UAE." Thesis, Durham University, 2004. http://etheses.dur.ac.uk/3173/.

Full text
Abstract:
The rapid socio-economic development in the United Arab Emirates (UAE) has had a great impact on the establishment and growth of the health care system in the country. Despite the development of the health care system, various shortcomings interact with and impact upon health and the way the health system functions and operates. Hence, the aim of this study was to assess to what extent the introduction of Community Health Care Nursing (CHCN) services in the UAE would address some of these shortcomings, In order to achieve this aim, a better understanding of the UAE health care system and health needs was required. This was obtained through a comparison with the United Kingdom and Bahrain, with a special focus on Primary Health Care and CHCN services. In recognition of the importance of the views of the public regarding any new service, fieldwork was conducted with a sample of the community and health services staff living in the city of Al Ain, UAE. The data required were collected by means of quantitative (questionnaires) and qualitative (the focus group technique and interviews) research methods. The findings from this study demonstrated that some shortcomings characterising the current health services need to be addressed before planning and implementing the proposed service. Furthermore, the results suggested that CHCN, preventive, curative or both, could contribute to meeting some of the identified health care needs. The findings also indicated a lack of understanding on the part of the general public of the function of primary, secondary and tertiary health facilities, in particular that of hospitals. It is therefore argued that PHC centres could be suitable places to host a CHCN service in the country. The findings also indicated that, despite the many advantages of such a service, more effort needs to be made to tackle the barriers to its successful implementation and to raise public awareness of the proposed service within the UAE community.

Full text
Abstract:
Somalia’s reproductive health indices are among the worst in the world. Rates of maternal death, total fertility, and sexual and gender based violence reflect the poor reproductive health outcomes of women living in Somalia. Over two decades of civil unrest left the majority of the population without access to basic health care, particularly reproductive health services. Currently, it is estimated that about 1% of women in Somalia use a modern method of contraception, and the country has yet to register a dedicated progestin-only emergency contraceptive pill. This study seeks to explore levels of awareness and the perceived need for emergency contraception (EC), as well as stakeholders’ knowledge of and experiences with reproductive health services in Somalia. Through interviews and focus group discussions with stakeholders in Somalia, I learned that awareness about vital services like EC is low, while the need for EC and broader reproductive health services is high. Evidently, stakeholders believe awareness, availability, quality care, culture, religion and good governance are important factors for both delivering and accessing reproductive health care. These study findings will fill an important gap in the literature and support efforts to expand and improve reproductive health service delivery in the country.

Wyness, Laura A. "Assessing the need for humanitarian nutritional intervention for adults in complex emergencies." Thesis, University of Aberdeen, 2006. http://digitool.abdn.ac.uk/R?func=search-advanced-go&find_code1=WSN&request1=AAIU494631.

Full text
Abstract:
This study aimed to identify methods to improve: 1) the assessment of the need for humanitarian nutritional intervention in adults in complex emergencies; and 2) the collection and quality of routine adult malnutrition data. A systematic literature review of methods for nutritional assessment of adults that could be used in complex emergencies was conducted.  Hair pluckability was identified as a potential method, and empirical studies were conducted to investigate its reliability in healthy volunteers.  A questionnaire was sent to NGOs to determine the most important context factors when considering adult nutritional status.   Data were collected from three NGOs on the nutritional status of 13,599 adults from 33 feeding programmes in five different countries.  As context data relevant to each feeding programme were unavailable, country-specific data were often used. Hair pluckability was significantly different between- and within-observers (p<0.001).  In the feeding programmes, context factors were more significantly associated with Mid Upper Arm Circumference (MUAC) than Body Mass Index (BMI).  Poor security and food security were also significantly associated with poorer nutritional status, but here was evidence that some of the associations were explained by differences in the type of feeding programme. Hair pluckability was found to be an unreliable indicator of nutritional status.  MUAC may be a more useful method of assessing nutritional status in complex emergencies than BMI.  The usefulness of the NGO data was limited due to bias and possible confounding, and the low number and spread of data points being compared.  This highlights the need for standardised data collection methods, to enable comparison of nutritional needs between populations.  Education and training of field workers in data collections methods is recommended.

Abstract:
According to recent estimates, approximately 423,773 children in the United States are in foster care (US Department of Health and Human Services, 2011). While research has documented that childhood obesity is high in foster children, the relationship between nutrition, physical activity, weight status of foster children and the foster home environment is unclear. Furthermore, there is a gap in the literature on the capacity of the child welfare system to address obesity among this population nor practical intervention strategies. This dissertation consists of three studies, with the following purposes: 1) assess the current foster care landscape related to the promotion of healthy eating and physical activity through questionnaire based and objective data; 2) examine legislature and training programs that focus on nutrition and physical activity as it relates to foster families; and 3) utilize the Delphi method to begin the development of a potential healthy eating and physical activity intervention for foster care through the recommendation of intervention strategies that could be integrated into the foster care system. These purposes are achieved utilizing a systems-based approach. More specifically, research was conducted through collaboration with several local agencies throughout Virginia. The findings from Study 1 suggest that obesity is prevalent among foster children and foster parents in Virginia and that there are some indications that the foster home environment is related to lifestyle behaviors and weight status, though the relationships were small. Study 2 identified face-to-face trainings targeting foster parents and children (depending on the child's age) as an important and practical method to intervene through regular trainings. Study 3 indicated that there are few federal or local policies that explicitly address physical activity, nutrition, and weight status. A number of recommendations are made for the structure, content, and process of integrating obesity prevention and treatment strategies within the foster care system.

Full text
Abstract:
Norm-based assessment is under fire from some quarters because it is often unfair and is out of touch with the demands of the job market. Criterion-referenced assessment is touted as the answer by others but problems remain, in particular with regards to the maintenance of standards. This study examines the use of competency-based assessment in an undergraduate database course. The findings suggest that it is possible to create an assessment instrument that is relevant to particular skills required in the job market but does not inflate grades across the board. A remarkable idiosyncrasy emerges in that the distribution of scores assumes a bi-polar shape with a significant number of high grades and a significant number of grades at the lowest passing level or failing grades.

Full text
Abstract:
PhD students and others from all kinds of disciplines have the need for statistical learning and understanding in common. For that reason, research courses in research method and biostatistics are open for all kinds of participants, which mean that a large variety of applied topics are represented in each course. The participants are commonly involved in the research process on different stages, some of them having only a research topic, others have collected all data. Furthermore there is also a variation in opinion about statistics, not regarding the need for statistics but the concerns about the demand for mathematical skills etc. The heterogeneity of the participants’ research fields and experience in research is a real challenge in teaching but also in assessment of learning. However, a common issue is that all participants are highly motivated as they need knowledge and understanding in statistical thinking and literacy. The aim of this paper is to present the experiences of an examination approach in which the participants get the opportunity to formulating their own examination tasks based on own research problems and to solve them. This approach not only improved the participants’ learning and understanding, but good statistical practice was also implemented the research group as a whole.

Full text
Abstract:
Providing tasks that enable teachers to understand how students are processing concepts allows teachers to shape instruction, plan, adapt, and differentiate, depending on what students need to learn. What does this look like when teaching statistics? This paper presents background on formative assessment and describes a framework for thinking about how it can be enacted in practice. The framework is illustrated by focusing on the nature of statistical tasks that can elicit information about student thinking and on instructional strategies that deliberately provoke such information. The discussion is grounded in work with students in middle school, preservice mathematics education, and inservice elementary teachers, describing the challenges and dilemmas that arose and the strategies employed to overcome these challenges.

Abstract:
Students learn by doing: unfortunately many only do as little as is required of them to meet formal assessment requirements. We examine how a radical change in assessment strategy was chosen as a method of improving the learning experience for a group of students engaged in a final year undergraduate course in Time Series. In 2006, following attempts to change student attitudes through the use of different teaching techniques, we decided instead to focus on altering our assessment strategies. This paper will show that assessment appears to be one of the most effective tools to improve learning. While we remain committed to investigating and implementing improved methods for course delivery, our recent experience indicates the need to complement those methods with innovative assessment to improve the whole learning experience.

It places the student as the center of the entire process of teaching and learning, recognizing two main types of learning: presential and non-presential. With this in mind, the assessment methods need to be redefined and adapted to this new reality, where tutoring and learning must be integrated in the assessment process. This study takes place in two Introductory Statistics courses, one located in Vigo (Spain) and one in Guimarães (Portugal) and the results show an improvement in students’ grades and also allow a more solid learning process achieved by the continuous nature of the method. Having the material virtual in Learning Management Systems (LMS) simplifies the work of the teacher and encourages the students to develop new study habits necessary for their success within the new reality of the Bologna reforms.

Full text
Abstract:
International climate finance is vital to global cooperation on climate change. As many developing countries reel from the effects of coronavirus, the prospect of climate-induced extreme weather risks compounding crises and poverty. Climate change could undo decades of progress in development and dramatically increase global inequalities. There is an urgent need for climate finance to help countries cope and adapt. Over a decade ago, developed countries committed to mobilize $100bn per year by 2020 to support developing countries to adapt and reduce their emissions. The goal is a critical part of the Paris Agreement. As 2020 draws to a close, Oxfam’s Climate Finance Shadow Report 2020 offers an assessment of progress towards the $100bn goal. The third in a series, this report looks at the latest donor figures for 2017–18, with a strong focus on public finance. It considers how climate finance is being counted and spent; where it is going; how close we are to the $100bn goal; and what lessons need to be learned for climate finance post-2020.

Full text
Abstract:
This report is the second output of the Decarbonising Transport in Latin American Cities project (DTLA), developed jointly by the Inter-American Development Bank (IDB) and the International Transport Forum (ITF-OECD). DTLA supports transport decarbonisation in Bogota (Colombia), Buenos Aires (Argentina), and Mexico City (Mexico). These cities were selected based on their data availability about urban transport activity. As a result of this initiative, the first report describes a review of policies and key mobility challenges to deliver on a sustainable transport system. This second report presents the development and provision of a quantitative assessment tool that allows assessing the impact of transport CO2 reduction actions and respective scenarios to 2050. Both reports facilitate policy dialogue across all relevant stakeholders and supports peer learning and best practice exchange between the case study cities and beyond. Moreover, the reports bring out the need for rethinking decarbonization policies to consider their potential for achieving other benefits related with improving the quality of the transport services, closing gender equality gaps, and improving financial sustainability of current business models.

Abstract:
As part of ARL’s Research Library Impact Framework initiative, a research team from the Texas Tech University (TTU) Libraries explored methods for assessing collections related to the study and research of diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) topics and their discoverability by users. DEI studies have increased in prominence on academic campuses along with calls to question privilege and power structures, making DEI collections assessment critical. The TTU Libraries undertook a two-part project that surveyed user needs, collections usage, cataloging and discoverability, and user behavior in searching for and evaluating DEI resources. While the researchers were not able to identify an effective method for assessing DEI in large-scale collections, key findings indicate the potential for partnering with women’s and gender studies and Mexican American and Latino/a studies and the need for increased attention on cataloging and metadata, particularly table of contents and abstract/summary fields. The research team identified that many users expressed uncertainty in searching and evaluating DEI resources and expressed interest in search enhancements for better filtering and more prominent website presence for DEI research help.

Abstract:
Sliding friction on ice and snow is characteristically low at temperatures common on Earth’s surface. This slipperiness underlies efficient sleds, winter sports, and the need for specialized tires. Friction can also play micro-mechanical role affecting ice compressive and crushing strengths. Researchers have proposed several mechanisms thought to govern ice and snow friction, but directly validating the underlying mechanics has been difficult. This may be changing, as instruments capable of micro-scale measurements and imaging are now being brought to bear on friction studies. Nevertheless, given the broad regimes of practical interest (interaction length, temperature, speed, pressure, slider properties, etc.), it may be unrealistic to expect that a single mechanism accounts for why ice and snow are slippery. Because bulk ice, and the ice grains that constitute snow, are solids near their melting point at terrestrial temperatures, most research has focused on whether a lubricating water film forms at the interface with a slider. However, ice is extremely brittle, and dry-contact abrasion and wear at the front of sliders could prevent or delay a transition to lubricated contact. Also, water is a poor lubricant, and lubricating films thick enough to separate surface asperities may not form for many systems of interest. This article aims to assess our knowledge of the mechanics underlying ice and snow friction.

Abstract:
Short-term climatic and hydrologic interactions, or hydroclimatology, are an important consideration when delineating the geographic extent of aquatic resources and assessing whether an aquatic resource is a jurisdictional water of the United States (WOTUS) and is therefore subject to the Clean Water Act (CWA). The now vacated 2020 Navigable Waters Protection Rule (NWPR) required the evaluation of precipitation and other hydroclimatic conditions to assess the jurisdictional status of an aquatic resource based on normal hydroclimatic conditions. Short-term hydroclimatic conditions, such as antecedent precipitation, evapotranspiration, wetland delineation, and streamflow duration assessments, provide information on an aquatic resource’s geo-graphic extent, hydrologic characteristics, and hydrologic connectivity with other aquatic resources. Here, researchers from the US Army Corps of Engineers, Engineer Research and Development Center (ERDC) evaluate tools and data available to practitioners for assessing short-term hydroclimatic conditions. The work highlights specific meteorological phenomena that are important to consider when assessing short-term hydroclimatic conditions that affect the geographic extent and hydrologic characteristics of an aquatic resource. The findings suggest that practitioners need access to data and tools that more holistically consider the impact of short-term antecedent hydroclimatology on the entire hydrologic cycle, rather than tools based solely on precipitation.
