Abstract:
In spite of the moves over the last 20 years towards community care, there remain substantial numbers of elderly people with both physical and mental illness who require residential, nursing home and hospital care. There is evidence to suggest that health service provision of long term care for the mentally ill has been, and continues to be, reduced. In addition there has been reduction in beds for long term care by geriatric physicians and while the nursing home and residential care sectors have expanded, this expansion has been entirely within the ‘independent’ private and voluntary sector, with considerable contraction of local authority provision. Representations have been made about this to the Old Age Section of the Royal College of Psychiatrists and they have reported on this (Benbow & Jolley, 1992). Concern has not been confined to the profession. Over the last year, there has been considerable media publicity about the long term care of elderly people in institutions. Some of this has been very critical [Panorama, 20.1.92] and has provoked debate on the pages of the national papers.

ENGLISH ABSTRACT: Every patient comes to a hospital with the expectation of getting quality care. It is not always within the ability of nursing personnel to give quality care in the work situation. Guided by the research question “What are the factors influencing the quality of nursing care in district hospitals in the West Coast Winelands Region of the Western Cape?” a scientific investigation was undertaken. The goal of this study was to identify the factors which influence the quality of nursing care in the eight (8) district hospitals of the West Coast Winelands Region of the Western Cape. The objectives set for the study were:  to determine whether staffing is adequate for all activities;  to evaluate what the perceptions of the nursing staff is about their current working situation;  to determine what the effect of the absence of full time doctors are on the management of patient care;  to evaluate whether adequate equipment is available for the execution of nursing care and to evaluate whether adequate provisions for the execution of nursing care is done. A descriptive non-experimental design with a quantitative approach was applied. The population for this study was all the nursing staff available at the time of data collection, working in the eight district hospitals of the West Coast Winelands Region. A structured questionnaire was used to collect the data. The final sample of nursing staff was N= 280 of a total population of 340 – all the members were invited to participate. Reliability and validity were assured by means of a pilot study and the use of experts in nursing research, methodology and statistics. Data were collected personally by the researcher. Ethical approval was obtained from Stellenbosch University and various health authorities. Informed written consent was obtained from the participants. The data was analyzed with the support of the statistician; it was expressed in frequencies, tables and histograms. Comparisons between variables were made using either ANOVA (Analysis of variance) techniques or cross-tabulations with the Chi-square test. The 95% confidence interval was applied to determine whether there was an association between the various variables. The analysis shows that participants of the separate wards hospitals N=142 (90%) and the mixed wards type hospitals N=113 (95%) disagree that staff provision (numbers) is adequate. From the analysis it is clear that the patient documentation is not up to standard. A statistical significant correlation between hospital type and adequate time for the completion of written records (Chisquare Test p=0.00) was shown. Management N=13 (100%), registered nurses N=80 (86%), enrolled nurses N=63 (86%) and nursing assistants N= 81 (83%) disagree that it is not necessary to act beyond their scope of practice. The following recommendations were made: Safe staffing levels have to be determined; qualify staff with the necessary skills; where unit managers are still lacking, they have to be appointed; to make personnel development possible for staff; continuous auditing of patient documentation. It is necessary that there is always adequate equipment and consumables. More training is necessary for the effective and efficient implementation of the Batho Pele principles.
AFRIKAANSE OPSOMMING: Elke pasiënt kom na ‘n hospitaal met die verwagting om kwaliteit verpleegsorg te ontvang. Dit is nie altyd binne die vermoë van die verpleegpersoneel om sodanige diens te kan lewer nie. “Watter faktore het ‘n invloed op die lewering van gehalteverpleegsorg in die distrikhospitale van die Weskus Wynlandstreek in die Wes Kaap? het die wetenskaplike ondersoek gelei. Die doel van die studie is om die faktore te identifiseer wat ‘n invloed het op die lewering van gehalteverpleegsorg in die ag (8) distrikhospitale van die Weskus Wynlandstreek in die Wes Kaap. Die doelwitte van die studie is:  om te bepaal of personeelvoorsiening voldoende is vir al die aktiwiteite;  om te evalueer wat die persepsies is van die verpleegpersoneel betreffende hulle huidige werksituasie,  om te bepaal watter effek die afwesigheid van voltydse geneeshere het op pasiënte sorg;  om te evalueer of toerusting voldoende is vir pasiënte sorg;  om te evalueer of daar voldoende voorsiening gemaak is vir die lewering van pasiënte sorg. ‘n Beskrywende, nie-eksperimentele ontwerp as metodologie is gebruik met ‘n kwantitatiewe benadering. Die bevolking betreffende die studie was alle verpleegpersoneel, werksaam tydens die insameling van die data in die ag distrikhospitale van die Weskus Wynlandstreek. ‘n Gestruktureerde vraelys was gebruik om die data te versamel. Die finale steekproef van die verpleegpersoneel was 280 uit die totale bevolking van 340. Betroubaarheid en geldigheid is verseker deur middel van ‘n loodstudie, en deur gebruik te maak van kenners betreffende verpleegnavorsing, metodologie en statistieke. Data is persoonlik deur die navorser ingesamel. Etiese goedkeuring was verkry vanaf die Universiteit van Stellenbosch en die verskeie gesondheidsowerhede. Ingeligde, skriftelike toestemming is van elke deelnemer verkry. Data is ontleed met die ondersteuning van die statistikus en is uitgedruk in die vorm van frekwensies, tabelle en histogramme. Vergelykings tussen die veranderlikes was gedoen deur gebruik te maak van ANOVA (analise met betrekking tot variansie) en kruis-tabulerings met die Chi-kwadraat toets. 95% Betroubaarheidsinterval is toegepas om te bepaal of daar ‘n assosiasie was tussen die onderskeie veranderlikes. Die analise het getoon dat deelnemers betreffende die hospitale met aparte afdelings N=142 (90%) en die gemengde sale hospitale N=113 (95%) verskil, betreffende die stelling dat daar voldoende personeelgetalle is. Dokumentasie is volgens die analise nie op standaard nie. ‘n Statistiese betekenisvolle korrelasie is verkry met betrekking tot die hospitaal tipe en voldoende tyd betreffende volledige geskrewe dokumentasie (Chi-kwadraat Toets p=0.00). Verpleegbestuur N=13 (100%), geregistreerde verpleegkundiges N=80 (86%), stafverpleegsters N=63 (86%) en verpleegassistente N=81 (83%) het verskil met die stelling dat dit nie nodig is om buite bestek van hul praktyk te werk nie. Die volgende aanbevelings is gemaak: die bepaling van veilige personeel vlakke moet gedoen word; voldoende personeel moet gekwalifiseer word met die nodige vaardighede. Eenheidsbestuurders moet aangestel word waar dit ontbreek; personeelontwikkeling moet moontlik wees en deurlopende oudits van dokumentasie moet plaasvind. Voldoende toerusting en voorraad is nodig om kwaliteit verpleegsorg moontlik te maak. Verdere opleiding in die beginsels van Batho Pele is nodig ten einde effektiewe en doeltreffende implementering daarvan moontlik te maak.

Introduction: The overall aim of this study was to develop a programme to facilitate quality client-centred care in Primary Health Care clinics of the rural West Coast District. Research design and -method: Both quantitative and qualitative methods were applied for this study . Phase 1, a situational analysis collected and analysed quantitative data from the perspective of clients and clinical nurse practitioners via structured questionnaires. The population included all clients 18 years and older (N=137 991) of the fixed clinics (N=25) in the five subdistricts of the West Coast District. According to the Cochran formula a sample of (n=383) should be adequate to represent the population. Non-proportional sampling was applied to estimate the number of participants per clinic. An all-inclusive sample of (n=64) clinical nurse practitioners participated in the study. Phase 2, the qualitative part of the situational analysis, applied five focus group discussions to explore and describe the managers and allied health professionals’ perceptions about quality client-centred care. A semi-structured interview schedule was compiled to guide the focus group discussions. An all-inclusive sample was utilised to include all the managers and allied health professionals of the five subdistricts (N=43). Phase 3 included the development of the programme based on the study findings and literature. Quantitative results: The analysis revealed the following quality client-centred care challenges, namely: Patient Rights (Domain 1) were not always respected and adhered to as these were characterised by: language (statistical p<0.001 and practical significant with a large effect size d=0.74); Satisfaction and Safety (statistical p<0.001 and practical significant with a medium effect size d=0.55); Referral Procedures (statistical significant p<0.001); Waiting Times (statistical p<0.001 and practical significant with a medium effect size d=0.47) and Confidentiality difficulties (statistical p<0.001 and practical significant with a medium effect size d=0.68). The Domain 2, Clinical Governance, Care and Safety showed shortcomings as highlighted by the Client and his/her Family (statistical p<0.001 and practical significant with a large effect size d=0.77). Clinical Support Services, Domain 3, revealed inadequacies regarding the continuous availability of medication (statistical significant p<0.008) and the reporting of side-effects (statistical significant p<0.001). Furthermore, Public Health Domain 4, showed that clients identified community health promotion and disease prevention events (statistical p<0.01 and practical significant with a large effect size d=0.79), and home visits by the community healthcare workers (statistical p<0.001 and practical significant with a large effect size d=1.09) as both a “problem” and a “gap”. Leadership and Corporate Governance, Domain 5 was characterised by the lack of: visible organograms (clients mean 2.40), community communication (clients mean 2.12 & clinical nurse practitioners mean 2.36), visibility of goals, values and future plans of the Western Cape Department of Health (statistical p<0.001 and practical significant with a medium effect size d=0.59) and role and function of the clinic committees (statistical significant p<0.008). Moreover, Domain 6, Operational Management was challenged by inadequate staffing levels (statistical significant p<0.003). Lastly, Domain 7: Infrastructure was characterised by the lack of drinking water in the waiting areas (clients mean 2.08 & clinical nurse practitioners mean 2.02), inadequate clinic space (clients mean 2.10 & clinical nurse practitioners 2.23); maintenance not up-to-date (statistical significant p<0.002); physical appearance of the clinic (statistically significant p<0.001) did not have a positive effect on staff morale and evacuation plans (statistical p<0.001 and practical significant with a medium effect size d=0.54) were not visible. In addition, correlations between the domains showed that the domains are not in silos, but are interdependent on another. Qualitative results The qualitative, thematic data analysis revealed various inadequacies regarding quality client-centred care. Theme One about the Patient Rights revealed that patients were not always treated with the necessary respect and dignity. Theme Two concerning Patient Care, revealed that focus group participants were well-informed on what the concept client-centred care entailed. However, patients and or clients did not always experience their care as client-centred. Theme Three about the Clinical Support Services, indicated shortages of medication and medical equipment; long waiting time for specialists and rehabilitation referral appointments. Theme Four, referring to the Public Health confirmed that health promotion and prevention activities are limited, due to various organizational factors and community healthcare workers’ activities which are limited to home-based care activities. Theme Five, Corporate Governance and Leadership matters were characterised by too many processes or “red tape” resulting in inefficient procurement processes, inadequate staffing and inactive health committees. Theme Six, Operational Management highlighted the severe pressure under which the operational managers have to work, resulting from their twofold role of being the clinic manager and at the same time operate as a clinical nurse practitioner. Theme Seven refers to Infrastructure and Facilities and is characterised by inadequate maintenance and lack of space according to the number of clients and package of care. To summarise: The situational analysis revealed 81 problems. These problems form the evidence base for the development of the programme to facilitate quality client-centred care in primary helth care clinics of the rural West Coast District.

ENGLISH ABSTRACT: Primary Health Care (PHC) provide a quality, comprehensive health service to the community, based on the principles of equity, affordability, accessibility and community participation. It is a nurse driven service with the Clinical Nurse Practitioner (CNP), a registered nurse specialising in the clinical elements of primary, secondary and tertiary prevention at the forefront. It is against this background that this study was endeavored to investigate the community’s perceptions and lived experiences of the quality of care being rendered by CNPs in the West Coast rural district of the Western Cape. The objectives of this study included the following: - To explore and describe the perceptions of patients in the West Coast rural community regarding the attitudes, knowledge and skills of CNPs. - To provide policy makers with feedback and possible recommendations with regards to the implementation of this nurse driven PHC service. - To provide recommendations for improvement of the existing curricula at nursing education institutions based on whether the current training meets patients’ needs and thereby possibly influence curricular change. A qualitative, descriptive, research design was used. The guideline by Colaizzi (as cited in Streubert & Carpenter, 1999:14) was used for data collection and analysis. Twenty-six participants took part in five different group interviews. Semi-structured, open ended questions were used to encourage the participants to actively partake. Each interview was audio taped and field notes were taken. Thematic analyses was performed to highlight three main themes, i.e. the attitudes of the CNPs, the knowledge and skills of CNPs, and the impact of the current training programmes on the quality of care being rendered by these CNPs. Written approval from the Ethics Research Committee, University of Stellenbosch, as well as from the Research unit of the Western Cape Department of Health was obtained. Prior informed consent was further obtained from each participant, after being assured of voluntary participation, confidentiality and anonymity. Credibility, dependability and transferability were ensured by returning to two participants who validated that the transcripts were a true reflection of their experiencesand opinions. This study concluded that patients perceived CNPs as being unfriendly, uncompassionate and unprofessional. Dissatisfaction with the prevalence of unjust practices due to family members and certain race groups being attended to first by CNPs, were expressed. Participants found the competency levels of CNPs more than adequate when assessing, examining and providing health information and medicine. However, they expressed the need that CNPs should be able to prescribe a greater variety of medicines and perform more diagnostic tests than currently permitted by the scope of practice as set out by the South African Nursing Council. Therefore, these views of the participants indicated that the current postgraduate training programme do fulfill their health needs, although the need for expansion of the role and function of the CNP were expressed. Recommendations made included: - An in-depth investigation into the alleged rude attitudes of CNPs should be undertaken, soas to improve the professional behavior of CNPs towards patients. - Applicable policy makers should consider expanding the roles and functions of the CNP. - Enforcing continuous, professional competency through adequate and productive in-service training programmes. In conclusion, this study showed that CNPs need to be constantly aware that they work with human beings, with feelings and with health needs. The need for a therapeutic environment is thus crucial to the rendering of a quality, comprehensive service to the community they serve.
AFRIKAANSE OPSOMMING: Primêre Gesondheidsorg (PGS) voorsien ’n kwaliteit, omvattende gesondheidsdiens aan die gemeenskap, gebaseer op die beginsels van gelykheid, bekostigbaarheid, toeganklikheid en gemeenskaps-betrokkenheid.Dit is `n verpleegaangedrewe diens met die Kliniese Verpleegspraktisyn (KVP) wat gespesialiseerd is in die kliniese elemente van primêre, sekondêre en tersiêre voorkoming, aan die voortou. Dit is teen hierdie agtergrond wat hierdie studie aangepak is, ten einde ondersoek in te stel aangaande die gemeenskap se persepsies en geleefde ervarings van die kwaliteit van sorg wat deur KVPs in die plattelandse Weskusdistrik van die Wes-Kaap gelewer word. Die doelwitte van hierdie studie het die volgende ingesluit: - Om die persepsies van pasiënte, rakende die ingesteldhede (gedrag), kennis en vaardighede van KVPs te ondersoek. - Om toepaslike beleidsmakers metterugvoer en moontlike aanbevelings te voorsien aangaande die implimentering van verpleegaangedrewe, PGS. - Om aanbevelings te maak vir die verbetering van bestaande kurrikula aan verpleegopleidingsinstellings op grond van óf die huidige opleiding in pasiëntbehoeftes voorsien, en sodoende kurrikulumverandering moontlik te beïnvloed. ’n Kwalitatiewe, beskrywende navorsingsontwerp is gebruik. Die raamwerk van Colaizzi (soos beskryf in Streubert & Carpenter, 1999:14) is tydens datainsameling en analiese gebruik. Ses-en-twintig deelnemers het aan die vyf verskillende groepsonderhoude deelgeneem. Semi-gestruktureerde, oop-einde vrae was gebruik om die deelnemers aan te moedig om aktief aan die besprekings deel te neem. Elke onderhoud is op oudio band opgeneem en veldnotas is gemaak. Tydens analiese is drie hooftemas geïdentifiseer, nl die houdings van KVPs, die kennis en vaardighede van die KVPs sowel as die impak van die opleidingsprogram op die kwaliteit van sorg wat deur KVPs gelewer word. Skriftelike toestemming vir die studie is by die Etiese Navorsingkommittee, Universiteit van Stellenbosch, asook die Navorsingseenheid van die Wes- Kaapse Departement van Gesondheid verkry. Voorafgaande toestemming is voorts vanaf elke deelnemer verkry, nadat hulle verseker is van vrywillige deelname, konfidensialiteit en anonimiteit. Geloofwaardigheid, afhanklikheid en oordraagbaarheid is verseker, deur na twee van die deelnemers terug te gaan wat die transkripsies geverifieër het as juis en korrek. In hierdie studie is tot die slotsom gekom dat pasiënte KVPs as onvriendelik enongevoeligervaar het. Onbillike praktyke kom steeds voor, deurdat familielede en sekere rassegroepe voorkeur behandeling kry. Deelnemers se ervarings aangaande die bevoegdheid van KVPs was as toereikend beskryf aangaande die assessering, ondersoek en voorsiening van gesondheidsinligting en medisyne. Hulle het egter ook die behoefte uitgespreek dat die KVP’s `n groter verskeidenheid medisyne behoort voor te skryf en meer diagnostiese toetse behoort te kan uitvoer as wat tans binne die bestek van praktyk, soos neergelê deur die Suid-Afrikaanse Raad op Verpleging, moontlik is. Hierdie persepsie van die deelnemers impliseer dat die huidige nagraadse opleidingsprogram voldoende is en hul gesondheidsbehoeftes aanspreek. Die behoefte vir die uitbreiding van die rol en funksie van die KVP is egter uitgespreek. Die aanbevelings wat gemaak is sluit in: - ’n In-diepte ondersoek oor die onbeskofte ingesteldhede van KVPs behoort uitgevoer te word, ten einde die professionele gedrag van KVPs teenoor pasiënte te verbeter. - Beleidmakers behoort die uitbreiding van die rolle en funksies van die KVP te oorweeg. - Benadruk voortgesette, professionele bevoegdheid deur toepaslike en produktiewe indiensopleidingsprogramme. Ter aflsuiting: hierdie studie het aangetoon dat KVPs voortdurend bewus moetbly dat hulle met mense werk wat gevoelens het en wat gesondheidshulp benodig. Dit is uiters belangrik om aan die behoeftesvan ’n terapeutiese omgewing te voorsien, ten einde ’n kwaliteit, omvattende diens aan die gemeenskap te lewer.

Abstract:

This study is concerned with aspects of the quality of life of children in three residential child care facilities (Children's Homes) in Accra and Cape Coast Municipality. It is comparative in its nature and aims to investigate how the material and social structures and supplies of the Children’s Homes contribute to similarities and dissimilarities in aspects of the children’s quality of life, both between and within the homes. The theoretical framework of the study is based on a quality of life approach, where quality of life is seen as an all-embracing conception, which includes a basic needs approach (BNA) and is supplemented by a subjective well-being approach (SWB). The theory of structuration is used to understand how material and social structures and supplies at the Children's Homes affect aspects of the children’s quality of life. The theory of structuration is a framework to investigate to what degree the children are able to act as competent social actors. The study was carried out in two different regions; the Greater Accra Region and in the Central Region at three Children's Homes. Osu Children’s Home (governmental) is located in Accra, the capital of Ghana, Ahotokurom (private) in a peri-urban area outside the city of Cape Coast and Lighthouse Children’s Home (private) is located just outside the Cape Coast city centre. Methodologically this study applies a qualitative approach and includes the triangulation of a variety of qualitative instruments of data collection. The data has been collected through 14 interviews with children from the ages of twelve to nineteen and eight key-informant interviews with the staff at the Children's Homes, two interviews with additional informants, as well as observations and some quantitative data. The thesis concludes that the material and social structures and supplies available at the Children’s Homes have strong bearings on the children’s lives and aspects of their quality of life. The Children’s Homes represents sets of structures that both enable and restrict the children to act as competent social actors. Even though the material and social structures and supplies at the homes determine much of the children’s lives, the children have some degree of freedom to act within these structures and are able to influence their own lives. The degree of freedom to act as competent social actors varies between the homes. At Osu there exists a stronger accumulation of conditions creating poorer aspects of quality of life, such as poor food, shelter, clothing, education, safety, leisure, love and belonging and social networks. The children at Ahotokurom and Lighthouse generally enjoy conditions creating better aspects of quality of life, the only exception being perhaps healthcare. This difference seems to be connected to the type of ownership, gatekeeping,  finances, location and contact with the local community.

Abstract:
The study investigated the self-reported information needs and information-seeking behaviour of 143 general practitioners in their delivery of patient care to the elderly on the Gold Coast. The study sought to obtain an information profile in order to begin discussion on the need for possible infrastructures that may need to be considered in any planning strategies concerned with access to and provision of relevant, accurate and timely information to general practitioners which affects their delivery of patient care to the growing number of elderly patients. A ten-page questionnaire utilising both structured and unstructured questions was returned by 61.9 percent of the survey population. Demographic characteristics indicated that respondents were representative of general practitioners in Australia. Respondents frequently needed information with 40 percent requiring it '1 - 4 times a week' and 78 percent 'once a month or more often'. Information on medical fact was required most frequently, 29 percent, medical opinion 27 percent, and non-medical information 23 percent. The study found support for the proposition that computerised information systems need to be enhanced and made widely known and available to general practitioners to assist them in obtaining information that they need in delivery of patient care to the elderly. There is a great need by these general practitioners for non-medical information as well as medical information. Therefore, the development of a database of non-medical information containing information on local agencies and services is of high priority. Library information delivery services should also be de-institutionalised in terms of lifting restrictions to services provided to enable general practitioners greater access to information. Library services should aim to provide remote access to information via telephone, fax and modem with emphasis on value added services aimed at solving a particular specific information need as well as straight-out bibliographic search services and document delivery services. Continuing medical education in the form of CME courses, conferences and meetings should focus on specific information needs of general practitioners in this area of patient care to the elderly. The need for information on cardiology, orthopaedics, dermatology, physiotherapy, podiatry, pharmaceutical benefits, home help, Meals-on-Wheels and nursing home placement were areas of particular interest identified by respondents in this study.

In order to understand the extent to which such services are empowering, the accessibility and theoretical underpinnings of these services are investigated. It was found that although services appear to be available, they are often not very accessible. They also often lack a specific gender focus. In certain instances, services need to increase their accessibility in order to accommodate the restrictive environments of women in this region. As such, it is believed that services require greater integration in their approach to intervention concerning both gender and the origins of mental health problems. Results of this study also highlight areas on which future research could focus. These areas include language of service provision, how organizations understand available theories surrounding service provision, and the service needs of women in this region themselves.
AFRIKAANSE OPSOMMING: Hierdie studie is gemik op die ondersoek van geestesgesondheidsdienste vir vroue van lae-inkomste groepe in die Weskus I wynverbouingstreek van Suid Afrika. Die toeganklikheid en teoretiese onderstuttngs van hierdie dienste word ondersoek in In poging om die graad waarin delke dienste bemagtigend is, te verstaan. Bevindinge toon dat dienste, albeit beskikbaar voorkom, dikwels nie baie toeganklik is nie. Dienste toon ook meestal 'n gebrekkige fokus ten opsigte van 'n spesifieke geslag. In sekere gevalle behoort die toeganklikheid van dienste verbeter te word in 'n poging om die beperkende omstandighede van vroue in hierdie streek tegemoet te kom. As sulks benodig dienste 'n hoër mate van integrasie in hul benadering tot intervensie, beide wat geslag en die oorsprong van geestesgesondheidsprobleme betref. Bevindinge lig ook areas uit waarop toekomstige navorsing kan fokus. Hierdie areas sluit die volgende in: die taal van diensvoorsiening, hoe organisasies beskikbare teorieë ten opsigte van diensvoorsiening verstaan, en die behoefts van die vroue in hierdie streek self ten opsigte van dienste.

Abstract:

Many of the known risk factors associated with low birth weight, such as socio-economic status, ethnicity, genetic makeup, and obstetric history, are not within a women's immediate control. However, there are many things that a woman can do to improve her chances of having a normal healthy child. Lifestyle behaviours, such as cigarette smoking, nutrition and the use of alcohol, play an important role in determining the growth of the fetus. The aim of this study was to establish the knowledge, attitudes and practices related to lifestyle factors such as alcohol use, smoking and nutrition among childbearing women and health care workers on the farms in Stellenbosch and Vredendal.

Abstract:
The rising cost of health care in the Philippines is a concern for the Department of Defense and TRICARE beneficiaries. The purpose of this quantitative cross-sectional research study was to determine the efficacy and acceptability of a different method to deliver health care to increase access to health care and decrease out-of-pocket costs while maintaining quality of care for TOP Standard beneficiaries who receive health care under the Philippine Demonstration. Secondary data was used to determine the acceptability of an alternative reimbursement methodology to decrease cost but maintain access to quality care. The Andersen's behavioral health care model and the Donabedian quality health care model were used to interpret the study results. A data set of 180 participants was evaluated using a cross-sectional quantitative methodology. Two Spearman correlations were used to examine the relationship between financial burden and satisfaction (r = .41, p < .001) and financial burden and confidence (r = .44, p < .001). Linear and binary regressions assessed the effects of age and gender on satisfaction with health care finder functionality when requesting a waiver (F (2,26) = 1.22, p = .313, R2 = .09). A computation of one-sample t-tests to determine the impact of a closed network, beneficiary out-of-pocket cost, and quality health care in Demonstration areas found the beneficiaries were satisfied with the demonstration. An analysis of the claims data pre and post demonstration showed a difference in the patients' out-of-pocket expenses and the acceptability and preference for a closed network. Social change was demonstrated by a decrease in the cost for TRICARE standard beneficiaries in the Philippines.

Abstract:
AbstractLebanon is a relatively small country located on the eastern coast of the Mediterranean Sea. It includes one of the most developed healthcare systems and world-renowned healthcare workers in the region. Cancer cases are steadily increasing in Lebanon reaching 11,589 new cases in 2020. Preventions and screenings programs are conducted to decrease cancer incidence and aim for early cancer detection. Cancer treatment is provided in public and private hospitals and financial coverage is assured through the Ministry of Public Health (MOPH) and third-party payers. All Lebanese cancer patients have access to treatment through universal cancer drug coverage by the MOPH. Recently, economic, financial, and political constraints have increased the burden on the healthcare system. Further improvements are needed to keep the healthcare system resilient enough to face these difficulties.

Abstract:
Understanding and learning from hospitals’ resilient behavior or adequate responses to beyond-surge capacity incidents to be better prepare staff for offering patients the appropriate, timely care is imperative. The study adopted the previous findings from the Formosa-Fun-Coast-Dust-Explosion studies as the base of data analysis. We synthesized the past discoveries and identified nine adaptation patterns. The results systematically organized how two initial receiving hospitals’ responsive adaptations changed over time to cope with the difficulties in the emergency departments in the aftermath of the mass burn casualty incidents. The benefit of the pattern approach can in-crease the efficiency and effectiveness of the learning process.
