Abstract:
As a result of immunizations and other child health initiatives, the rates of vaccine preventable diseases in Hong Kong have dropped dramatically over the past several decades. Hong Kong, however, is one of the most densely populated cities in the world which increases the vulnerability of the population to communicable disease outbreaks. Thus, high levels of immunization coverage are necessary to prevent disease outbreaks. Currently very little information exists about Hong Kong parents' perceptions of childhood immunizations or vaccine preventable diseases. The aims of this study were to explore Hong Kong parents' beliefs about childhood immunizations, to validate an instrument to measure those health beliefs, and to identify factors that are most predictive of age-appropriate immunization.

Abstract:
Introduction: Video game is an emerging technology with potential to overcome many of the current barriers to behavior change. Video game playing is now woven into the fabric of children’s life and has been developed to educate individuals in health-related areas. Story immersion refers to the experience of being fully absorbed within a story in the game and is a key factor that contributes to the mechanism of behavior change. “Escape from Diab (Diab)is a health videogame designed to lower the risk of obesity and type 2 diabetes through behavior change components that were integrated into activities within the game storyline. This thesis was designed to investigate the effect of Diab for childhood obesity prevention among Hong Kong Chinese children. Methods: A literature review was conducted. Subsequently, study one conducted the validation of the Physical Activity Questionnaire for Older Children (PAQ-C) with 469 Hong Kong Chinese children. Study two was a cross-sectional study to explore the associations of self-efficacy, motivation, preference with both self-reported and objective physical activity (PA) in 301 children. Study three consisted of two phases. Phase one conducted individual interviews with 34 Hong Kong Chinese children to gather their perceptions of Diab and to assess Diab’s acceptability and applicability. Phase two examined the effect of playing nine episodes of Diab on children’s health outcomes (i.e., motivation, self-efficacy, preference for diet and PA, and PA behavior) through a non-randomized intervention. Results: The review demonstrated the effects of interventions by using health videogames on the psychological correlates. However, limited evidence is available to draw conclusions on the games’ behavioral modification efficacy. In study one, good internal consistency and test-retest reliability suggest that the PAQ-C is an adequately reliable instrument for use among Chinese children. The significant moderate correlation between the PAQ-C score and accelerometer measured moderate-to-vigorous PA support the PAQ-C’s acceptable validity. Study two revealed the important effects of self-efficacy and autonomous motivation in predicting PA. Differences were found between the prediction of self-reported PA and objective PA, which is likely due to self-reported error variance common to the PAQ-C and psychological correlates but not common to acclerometry. Study three indicated that Diab was perceived to be an immersive game by most of participating Hong Kong Chinese children. Four themes emerged from the interviews indicated that story immersion was a perceptible component and that Diab, developed for American children, was acceptable to the Hong Kong Chinese children. The pilot intervention study found short-term benefits after completing the game. However, the effects were not sustained at follow-up testing 8-10 weeks later. Conclusion: The current thesis demonstrated the validity of PAQ-C and the important effects of self-efficacy and autonomous motivation in predicting PA, which could inform the development of efficacious interventions. Diab, a Health videogames with appealing characters and immersive stories, partially motivated children to improve their motivation, self-efficacy, and preference for diet and PA behaviors immediately after completing nine episodes of the game, however, the lasting effectiveness and mechanisms of change require more thorough investigation.

Abstract:
BACKGROUND: Researchers in the fields of health, education and psychology have established a causal relationship between levels of education and both health status and its management amongst adults and children. This has resulted in largescale ‘health literacy’ intervention programmes. The relationship between oral health literacy (OHL), health status and management is less understood. Indeed, ‘OHL’ is a relatively new field with limited research to date in Asia. Measurements of OHL on the whole have focused on the match or mismatch between reading fluency, vocabulary, background knowledge, and oral and written communication demands. While it may be difficult or impractical to comprehensively capture and measure all possible dimensions of OHL, several instruments have been developed to date, albeit mostly in English dominant contexts. OBJECTIVES: The major objectives of this study were to: a) to describe the relationship between caregiver reading habits and their OHL, and their child’s oral health status; b) assess the functional OHL levels of primary caregivers in an Asian population using two new instruments; c) to describe the relationship between caregiver OHL and the oral health status of their children. METHODS: A cross-sectional study using two locally-developed and validated OHL instruments; Hong Kong Rapid Estimate of Adult Literacy in Dentistry-30 (HKREALD-30) and Hong Kong OHL Assessment Task for Paediatric Dentistry (HKOHLAT-P) was adopted. A random sample of 301 child/caregiver dyads was recruited from kindergartens in Hong Kong Island. Data included: socio-demographic information; caregivers’ self-reported reading habits and OHL levels; and child oral health status as a) dental caries experience - number of decayed, missing and filled teeth (dmft); and b) oral hygiene status - by the Visible Plaque Index (VPI). RESULTS: Caregivers’ reported reading of print Chinese was significantly associated with their OHL scores: HKREALD-30 and HKOHLAT-P (p<0.01). No associations were found between caregiver’s reading habits and their children’s oral health status (p>0.05). Both OHL assessment tasks were associated with children’s oral health status. Both HKOHLAT-P and HKREALD-30 remained associated with dmft in the adjusted negative binomial regression models (accounting for socio-demographics), but HKOHLAT-P had a stronger association (IRR 0.97, P=0.02 versus 0.96, P=0.03). HKOHLAT-P was associated with VPI in the adjusted model (IRR 0.90, P<0.05), but no significant association between HKREALD-30 and VPI was evident. CONCLUSIONS AND IMPLICATIONS: Caregivers’ habits of reading print and digital texts were significantly associated with their OHL scores. No significant associations were found between caregivers’ reading habits and their children’s oral health status, indicating that reading habits is a different attribute that may not directly affect their child’s oral health. Caregivers’ functional OHL was associated with their children’s oral health status in Hong Kong. A comprehension task tool (HKOHLAT-P) was more robust in determining such associations when compared to a simple word recognition based test (HKREALD-30).

Abstract:
Introduction: Oral diseases such as dental caries and periodontal diseases are among the most common diseases in Hong Kong. Family as a basic societal unit has an important role to play in shaping the individual member’s behaviours and health status. However, most dental research studies focus on modifiable risk factors of individuals rather than those of a family. Objectives: 1. to describe the oral health behaviours and oral health status of family members in a selected sample of families in Hong Kong; 2. to assess the relationships between oral health behaviours and oral health status amongst the family members; 3. to assess the influence of socio-economic factors, lifestyle factors and oral health knowledge, attitudes, and behavioural factors on oral health status of the spouses; and 4. to assess the influence of parental factors on the child’s oral health behaviours and status. Methods: A cross-sectional survey using a combination of a random household and a purposive sampling was conducted. The study population was 5 to 7-year-old children and their parents in Hong Kong. A clinical examination and a questionnaire survey were conducted on the core family members (parents and children) of the recruited families. Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) was employed to test the hypothesized multivariate models which tried to investigate the complex relationships among different risk factors and oral health status. Results: A total of 432 families with targeted children, 373 fathers and 424 mothers were recruited. The mean DMFT/dmft score of the father, the mother, and their children were 7.2, 6.2, and 2.6, respectively. Around half (52%) of the fathers and one-third (35%) of the mothers had periodontal probing pocket(s) deeper than 3mm. In the structural equation models, strong positive correlations were found between the oral health behaviours of fathers and mothers (∅=0.98, p<0.05), mothers and children (∅=0.79, p<0.05), and fathers and children (∅=0.74, p<0.05). Positive correlations were also found between the oral health status of fathers and mothers (∅=0.43, p<0.05), mothers and children (∅=0.33, p<0.05), and fathers and children (∅=0.30, p<0.05). Fathers’ oral health status was directly affected by their oral health behaviours and smoking habit, and indirectly affected by their socio-economic status and oral health knowledge and attitudes. The explained variance of fathers’ oral health status was 47%. The mothers’ oral health status was only directly affected by their oral health behaviours and indirectly by their socio-economic status and oral health knowledge and attitudes. The explained variance of mothers’ oral health status was 53%. Children’s oral health status was only directly affected by their oral health behaviours and indirectly by their mother’s socio-economic status, mother’s oral health knowledge and attitudes, and mother’s oral health behaviours. The explained variance of children’s oral health status was 26%. Conclusion: Oral health behaviours and status are correlated among family members. Children’s oral health status is affected by their oral health behaviours, which may be affected by parents’ socio-economic status, oral health knowledge, attitudes, and behaviours.

Abstract:
Systematic reviews were conducted to investigate the relationships between anthropometric assessments of nutritional status (adiposity) and caries experience among preschool and school-age (aged 6-12 years) children. Four relevant databases were searched for publications up to December 2011. Qualitative assessments were conducted and rated according to STROBE statement. Where feasible, quantitative syntheses were conducted. From a total of 2013 studies, 39 effective studies were identified for preschool children and 53 effective studies for school-age children. The mean ‘quality of reporting’ were 20.4 (SD 3.8) for the preschool studies and 21.4 (SD 3.9) for school-age studies. Qualitative syntheses were inconclusive about their relationships. Meta-analyses identified that preschoolers with high BMI had a greater dmfs/defs than those with normal BMI: pooled mean difference 0.93, 95% CI 0.65, 1.22, P < 0.05; and that children with low BMI had a lower dmft than those with normal BMI: pooled mean difference - 0.29, 95% CI -0.42, -0.15, P < 0.05. Among school-age children meta-analyses failed to identify any significant association. Among a random sample of 5-year-old children in Hong Kong, with a response rate of 83.1% (324/390), caries experience was associated with general adiposity (as assessed by W/H) and central adiposity (as assessed by WC). Regression analyses (adjusted for oral health behaviours and socio-demographic factors) identified that W/H z-score was associated with having caries, OR 1.41, 95% CI1.04, 1.91, P = 0.03; and ‘very high’ caries OR 1.62, 95% CI 1.05, 2.50, P = 0.03. WC z-score was associated with ‘very high’ caries experience, OR 1.72, 95% CI 1.06, 2.81, P = 0.03. Oral hygiene status was not associated with adiposity. Among a random sample of 12-year-old children in Hong Kong, with a response rate of 76.9% (514/668), oral health status was associated with adiposity. Regression analyses (adjusted for oral health behaviours and socio-demographic factors) identified that WHR z-score was associated with caries experience: ‘high’ (OR 1.33, 95% CI 1.05, 1.70, P = 0.02), and ‘very high’ (OR 1.52, 95% CI 1.10, 2.11, P = 0.01). TRSKF z-score was associated with ‘very high’ caries experience (OR 1.47, 95% CI 1.10, 1.96, P = 0.01). WC z-score was associated with ‘unhealthy’ periodontal status (OR 1.33, 95% CI 1.01, 1.76, P = 0.04). Infant growth during the first year of life was associated with oral health at 12-year-old. Accounting for birth characteristics, socio-demographics and oral health behaviours, those with slow growth trajectories (Ⅰ- smallest birth weight and slow weight gain; and Ⅱ- smallest birth weight and average weight gain) had a greater likelihood of having a ‘high’ caries experience: OR 2.68, 95% CI 1.00, 7.16, P < 0.05 and OR 3.03, 95% CI 1.22, 7.51, P < 0.05, respectively, compared to average growth trajectory subjects. In addition, those with the fastest growth trajectory (heaviest birth weight and accelerated weight gain) had a greater likelihood of having a ‘high’ caries experience, OR 2.64, 95% CI 1.01, 6.91, P <0.05. Growth trajectories were not associated with periodontal health status at 12-year-old (P > 0.05).

Full text
Abstract:
Background: Advanced breast cancer (ABC) is affecting substantial number of Chinese women in Hong Kong. Understanding their unmet supportive care needs (SCNs) is important for health care system to precisely allocate resources to areas demanded for help the most and for patients to achieve better quality of life. Objectives: (1) To validate Chinese version of Supportive Care Needs Survey Questionnaire (SCNS-SF34), (2) to address the prevalence of unmet SCNs at baseline (newly diagnosis of ABC) and explore relevant factors associating with baseline unmet SCNs, (3) to identify the trajectories of unmet SCNs from baseline, 6-week, 12-week, 18-week to one-year post-diagnosis of ABC among Hong Kong Chinese women and identify the predictors related to individual resources. Methods: The study consisted of two phases. In Phase I, breast cancer (BC) patients were recruited from six public hospitals and the SCNS-SF34 (which covers five domains of needs) was administered concurrently with measures of psychological distress CHQ-12 (Chinese Health Questionnaire-12), HADS (Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale), symptom distress (MSAS-SF), and patient satisfaction (ChPSQ-9) to explore factor structure by using Exploratory Factor Analysis (EFA) and to examine internal consistency, and convergent, divergent and discriminant validities of the identified factor structure. In phase II, women newly diagnosed with ABC were recruited and followed up to assess their unmet SCN trajectories one year after diagnosis. Prevalence of initial baseline SCNs and associated demographic, medical and psychological factors were identified. Linear Mixed Modeling (LMM) was performed to assess trajectories for each SCNs domain. Hypothesized variables reflecting personal and social resources (optimism, trait hope, social support, psychological distress and patient satisfaction) were examined for association with the changes of unmet SCNs after adjusting for demographic and medical characteristics. Results: Instead of five-factor structure identified in the original SCNS-SF34, a four-factor structure with 33 items was identified, comprising: 1) Health system, information and patient support needs (HSIPS), 2) Psychological needs (PSYC), 3) Physical and daily living needs (PDL) and 4) Sexuality needs (SEX). The SCNS-SF33-C demonstrated moderate-to-good internal consistency (Cronbach’s alphas=0.75-0.92) across all domains. Acceptable convergent and divergent validity were demonstrated. Discriminant validity was demonstrated in the SCNS-SF33-C’s ability to differentiate between clinically distinct patient groups (ABC vs. localized BC and active treatment vs. no active treatment). Of the top 15 unmet SCNs, all belonged to the HSIPS domain. There were significant linear declines in unmet HSIPS and PSYC needs over the year after diagnosis, but not in PDL and SEX. After adjusting for demographic and medical factors, LMM identified symptom distress, patient satisfaction and patient satisfaction x time are predictors of HSIP. Total symptom distress, optimism, anxiety and anxiety x time predicted PSYC. Total symptom distress was predictor of PDL. Anxiety was predictor of SEX. Conclusions: The SCNS-SF33-C has a suitable factor structure and psychometric properties for the use in assessing unmet psychosocial SCN among Chinese women with BC. Generally, unmet HSIP and PSYC tended to decline, while levels of unmet PDL and SEX tended to persist over time. Specific individual resources predicted the future change of unmet SCNs.

Full text
Abstract:
Background: Numerous studies have found that there are many health-related benefits to owning a dog, however, this has not been investigated in a high dense Asian environment where the culture is very different to Western countries. Objectives: This study aimed at investigating 1) if dog-owners are more active than those who do not own a dog; 2) if dog-owners have higher perceived physical and mental health status compared to a sample of the population who do not own a dog; 3) are there social/environmental factors measured by the Dogs-and-Physical Activity (DAPA) tool that are associated with the perceived physical and mental health as well as physical activity (PA) habits of dog owners. Methods: A total of 102 Chinese dog-owners resident in Hong Kong were recruited to examine what factors might affect dog-owners to walk their dog regularly and hence likely to take part in more daily PA. All of these dog-owners were invited to complete a questionnaire that combined the DAPA-tool, Short-Form-12 health survey (SF-12), and the International-Physical-Activity-Questionnaire – short (IPAQ-short) and to wear an accelerometer for a week. Of the 102 recruited dog-owners, 52 had analysable SF-12 and accelerometry data that could be compared with similar data from 47 HK Chinese who did not own dogs. Linear regression was used to analyse differences between dog-owners and non-dog-owners and to examine social/environmental factors that contributed to physical component score (PCS) and mental component score (MCS) and accrued PA of the dog-owners; their living status, gender, age, Body Mass Index (BMI), income, education level and work status were adjusted during the analysis. Result: Compared to those without dogs, dog-owners were found to have higher PCS scores (P<0.001), involved in more moderate to vigorous PA (MVPA, P=0.02) and overall PA (OVPA, P<0.001) as measured by objective accelerometry; while no significant differences were seen in MCS, nor MVPA or OVPA as measured by the self-reported IPAQ. “Owning a dog adds to my happiness” was associated with having higher PCS (P=0.04); whilst “Trees and shrubs for dogs to sniff” (P=0.02), “Sitting areas with benches” (P=0.06) and “My enjoyment of being outdoors” (P=0.01) were positively related to MVPA as measured by IPAQ, whilst “My dog would be unfriendly or difficult to control” (P=0.02) was negatively related to IPAQ MVPA. Furthermore, “Signs to say if dogs are permitted” (P=0.03), “Trees and shrubs for dogs to sniff” (P=0.02), “The fact that I feel safe when walking with my dog” (P=0.02) and “It would keep my dog healthy” (P=0.04) were found to be positively related to OVPA as measure by IPAQ, whilst “My family commitments” (P=0.03) and “It would stop me feeling guilty” (P=0.03) were found to be negative related to IPAQ OVPA. No variables were significantly related to MCS among the dog-owners. Conclusion: Dog-ownership is associated with Hong Kong owners having a more active lifestyle and is related to higher perceived physical, but not mental health. A small number of social and physical factors appear important in providing a supportive environment that can help enhance the health benefits of dog-ownership.

Abstract:
Influenza is a serious public health problem that circulates worldwide affecting every age group and spreads easily from person to person. It can cause severe illnesses and deaths especially in high risk groups including the aged 65 or above. Influenza vaccination programme is an important issue in Hong Kong health care system. More preventive measures should be targeted on the elderly in practice. Mailing invitation, phone invitation, training-the-trainer program and home visit by nurse in primary care settings are found to be effective in increasing the influenza vaccination rate as evidenced by 10 systematic reviews. Several approaches of recommendations for increasing the utilization of influenza vaccination among elders in community have been proposed in this paper. Communication plan, pilot testing and evaluation plan have been discussed to implement and improve the proposed guidelines.
