Abstract:

Definitions and understandings of the term “community health” are numerous, but generally orient themselves around an expanded understanding of health exceeding biomedical imperatives. Rethinking the conception of community health through a vitalistic approach with the idea of health, and thus the community, at its core allows for a deeper understanding of health experiences’ complexity and could eventually inspire practice innovations in community health centers. In this paper, we will present this theoretical conception of health and discuss how it can help to understand the innovative interventions approach conducted within community health centres in Canada. Specifically, the practical implications of this theoretical conception will be illustrated through two Canadian community health centres. A new perspective on health could have numerous implications for health professionals with the development of cutting-edge interventions potentially leading to change benefiting the community, but also for teaching and research innovations empowered by a deeper understanding of the wider story behind health issues.

Abstract:

Community mental health care was developed in Serbia in 1982 at the Belgrade Institute of mental health. Treatment was provided through the primary health care system, with each health centre having its own mental health care team. However, in the process of psychiatric reform and deinstitutionalization, dedicated community centres had to be established, in accordance with the National Strategy for the Development of Mental Health Care. The first community-based mental health centre opened in the southern area of Serbia in 2005 and subsequently, other centres were established. The centres are organized independently of psychiatric hospitals and are located in local, self-government units, providing psychosocial treatment and the continuation of mental health care. In relation to the ongoing reform of psychiatry in the country, there are positive and negative issues. There are 41.41 beds per 100,000 of the population in psychiatric hospitals and 18.33 beds per 100,000 of the population in the psychiatric departments of general hospitals. Day hospitals, established throughout the country, provide patients with good quality care. Mental health care professionals are educated to a high standard and integrative, person-centred treatment is applied in most services. However, the level of stigma directed towards those with mental illness is still high and constitutes a barrier to treatment. Well-developed screening and early detection programmes to identify persons requiring mental health care are lacking, as are the records of patients with mental disorders. The future goal is to further reduce the number of beds in psychiatric hospitals, establish new community mental health care services throughout the country and ensure the prevention of mental disorders, as well as mental health promotion.

Abstract:

Recently, Governments of both parties in Victoria have differed on the method of selecting members for the boards of management of community health centres, but have given less attention to how and in what ways these boards contribute to the work of the organisations over which they preside-organisations that have become both larger and more complex in the last 10 years. In this paper, community health presidents and Chief Executive Officers discuss board responsibilities and the ways in which boards execute them. The conclusion is that boards appear to be carrying out their varied responsibilities effectively, and according to government requirements.

Abstract:

Help for people with mental health problems in Japan has traditionally centred on inpatient medical care. In a revision of the Mental Health Welfare Law planned for 2001, responsibility for the support of people with mental health problems will be transferred from central government to local government. Furthermore, local government will, in turn, delegate administrative tasks to a ‘community life support centre‘. We believe that such a centre could be linked to a university with a telehealth network. Connection to the network could benefit people with mental health problems living at home. We also believe that occupational therapists are ideally positioned to play a significant role in community life support centres. With the expected sustained growth in Japanese occupational therapy, it could become a key profession in the rehabilitation of people with mental health problems.

Abstract:

This study examined the existing relationship between community health centres and General Practice Divisions in the State of Victoria, including the nature of joint working arrangements and the identification of barriers to greater collaboration. Improved integration of primary health care services has been advocated to improve consumer and population health outcomes and to reduce inappropriate use of acute and extended care services. General practitioners (GPs) and community health centres are two key providers of primary health care with potential for greater integration. The current study conducted telephone interviews with 20 community health centre CEOs and 18 Executive Officers of divisions, which were matched according to catchment boundaries. Results suggest, while some joint planning is occurring, especially on committees, working parties and projects, there is an overall low level of satisfaction with the relationship between community health centres and GPs and GP divisions. Major barriers to greater integration are the financial or business interests of GPs and misunderstanding and differences in perceived roles and ideology between GPs and community health centres. Improved communication, greater contact and referral and follow-up procedures are identified as a means of improving the relationship between GPs, GP divisions and community health centres. Community health centres and general practitioners (GPs) are key providers of primary care (Australian Community Health Association, 1990).

Abstract:

Background This thesis explores processes involved in stakeholders’ attempts to secure sustainability of three short-term funded community health initiatives known as healthy living centres (HLCs). The overall aim was to identify and examine development of sustainability strategies in Scottish HLC organisations. In contrast to retrospective accounts examining influences on extent of sustainability little is known about how this concept is considered by organisations approaching the end of funding. Organisational development theorising has focused on organisational change, with no attention given to sustainability processes in short-term funded organisations. Building on a concurrent longitudinal evaluation of a larger sample of HLCs, the temporal nature of this PhD study offered scope to explore development of, influences on and changes to stakeholders’ sustainability strategies over time. Methods The study used a qualitative evaluation methodology. A case study approach framed the HLCs, permitting comparison between sites. An ethnographic approach using observations and in-depth interviews was employed. Interviews were undertaken with stakeholders (comprising managers, staff, partners and board members) from each HLC. Managers were interviewed on several occasions. Latterly, interviews were undertaken with respondents holding policy, practice and funding posts. A thematic analysis, informed by grounded theory, was carried out. This used a constant comparative methodology to understand the data against the backdrop of the PhD study aims and wider literature. Findings Findings examine stakeholders’ accounts of the impact of a range of issues on HLC sustainability strategies. These are located in the context of health and community sector restructuring. Especially challenging were: efforts to secure local partners and further lottery funding; consideration of new funding criteria and models of service delivery; and limitations in demonstrating effectiveness. Addressing such challenges, managers’ strategic positioning signified attempts to influence HLCs’ fit within local health structures. Stakeholders’ accounts highlighted attempts to secure continuation of HLCs’ original identity; ensuring continued accessibility of Centres to local communities; and, seeking continuation of developmental methods of work. External respondents’ perspectives illuminated how policy-driven changes restricted system-wide attention to HLC sustainability. Latterly, Government-provided funding offered a short-term fix, enabling continuation of attempts to secure sustainability. Conclusions and implications This study offers new perspectives on the temporal exploration of sustainability of shortterm funded health initiatives. Analysis of stakeholders’ accounts over time provides insight into the effects of restructuring and ways in which system-wide flux impacted on influences known to enhance the likelihood of sustainability. Recommendations address programme design and wider responsibilities of health system actors in positioning and considering a future for such organisations after short-term funding ends.

Abstract:

Studies have shown that pregnant women do understand and value information of their unborn child. However, those providing health promotion services often focus on medical procedures and health education messages, ignoring the cultural, socio-economic and psychological dimensions that impact on women's health. This research aimed to look at a specific component of health promotion, i.e. health promotion messages shared with pregnant women attending Stellenbosch and Klapmuts Community Health Centre Antenatal Health Promotion Programme and their perceptions of how they apply messages in their daily lives.

Full text

Abstract:

While access to essential medicines has become recognised as a human right, problems concerning the inappropriate use of medicines have emerged. Medicines lose their therapeutic value and can impair both individual health and public health if inappropriately used. Inappropriate use of medicines diminishes the quality of healthcare and causes resources to be wasted, which is especially serious in under-resourced countries. To improve the use of medicines, the introduction of standard treatment guidelines (STGs) is suggested as a potential strategy. The aim of this DrPH thesis is to study the use of medicines, focusing on adherence to new STGs in Community Health Centers (CHCs) in Timor-Leste. The country is now trying to establish an equitable and sustainable healthcare system under extremely resource-limited conditions. The study used mixed research methods, collecting data from randomly selected 20 rural CHCs, 1,799 retrospective samples from patient registration books, 583 prospective observations, and 55 semi-structured interviews of health personnel were collected. Timor-Leste's medicine use was found, in general, to be acceptable. For example, use of injections was extremely low. Training, especially clinical nurse training, influenced knowledge of, attitudes to, and practical use of medicines and also prescribing adherence to STGs. Other factors that influenced the use of STGs were: health personnel's agreement with the policy concept and contents of STGs; health personnel's positive perception of the changes brought about by the introduction of STGs; development of STGs in a health policy framework: the fact that their STGs were easy to use repeatedly; and a supportive environment and systems to use STGs. Constant socialisation and timely updates of STGs are necessary. Interrelation and consistency across policies and programs should be maintained. The position of training within the health policy framework should be clearly understood by the all people concerned. Follow-up supervision is needed both for individuals and the CHC. Anticipated support should be well functioning.

Abstract:

The rehabilitation of stroke patients can occur at different settings. These include in-patient settings, such as stroke units or general rehabilitation wards and out-patient settings, such as out-patient departments attached to hospitals, day hospital departments and the patientsâ home. In South-Africa, day hospitals have been upgraded and are now referred to as Community Health Centres which provide comprehensive health services to the population. In the Western Cape these centres are faced with the rehabilitation of stroke patients who have been discharged early from hospital during the acute stage or who have never been admitted to hospitals. To date there is a lack of best practice guidelines and formal evaluations in terms of efficacy and effectiveness of rehabilitation at these centres. The aim of the study was therefore to investigate the rehabilitation of stroke patients at Community Health Centres in the Metropole Region of the Western Cape. The structure, process and outcomes (SPO) model was used as a conceptual framework in this study.

Abstract:

Stroke is the third leading cause of death and a major cause of disability in most societies. Individuals with physical disabilities are at risk of secondary complications due to the impact of the disability, which may be exacerbated by poor lifestyle choices. Although disabled persons desire to engage in wellnessenhancing activities, limited programmes based on their health promotion needs&rsquo
assessment have been developed. The aim of the present study is to determine the health promotion needs of stroke patients accessing selected Community Health Centres in the Metropole region of the Western Cape. A cross-sectional survey, utilizing a self-administered questionnaire and in depth interviews with a purposively selected sample was used to collect the data. The quantitative data was analysed using Microsoft Excel ®
. Means, standard deviations and percentages were calculated for descriptive purposes and the chi-square test was used to test for associations between socio-demographic and health-related variables. Audiotape interviews were transcribed verbatim, the emerging ideas were reduced to topics, categories and themes and finally interpreted. In order to qualify for between-method triangulation used in the study, complementary strengths were identified by comparing textual qualitative data with numerical quantitative results and vice versa. The quantitative analysis revealed that the participants were engaging in health risk behaviours such as physical inactivity, substance usage, non-compliance to medication use and inappropriate diet modification. Lack of financial resources, facilities and access to information predisposed them to involvement in risky health behaviours. In-depth interviews supported the quantitative findings and revealed that numerous participants&rsquo
suffered from depression and frustration as a result of having a stroke. The necessary ethical considerations were upheld. The outcome of the study could contribute to the need to develop, encourage and promote wellness-enhancing behaviours and activities to improve the participants&rsquo
health status and ultimate quality of life.

Abstract:

AbstractThis chapter centres on the publishing of the NHS Long Term Plan in 2019 and subsequent revised Health and Social Care Act (2022), both of which focus on integrated, out-of-hospital approaches to health service delivery. The creation of a layered system across geographical levels is advocated, with nested levels of ‘place’ and ‘neighbourhood’ intended to be the building blocks of Integrated Care Systems (ICS), which replaced CCGs in July 2022. We introduce the concept of newly created, ‘neighbourhood level’, Primary Care Networks (PCNs) of general practices and how district nurses fit into them, especially with regard to their organisation around geographical versus GP registered lists. Whilst not explicitly mentioned in the H&SC Act, it is clear that the Act situates community-based services as essential in the context of the desire to reduce the amount of hospital care, which has implications for district nursing services in particular. This mode of care delivery will require multi-disciplinary team working across all levels of the new system whereby community nurses will be required to liaise and co-ordinate with primary and social care to deliver services. Continuance of case management approaches for patients with complex needs and lack of funding in the social care system, means that we discuss in this chapter, the further strain on already pressured community nursing teams.

Abstract:

AbstractIn this chapter, we examine how marginalization and inequity—from international policy arenas to the household level and along the intersecting dimensions of gender, age, class and caste, religion, health and race—pose a major barrier to the development of sustainable food systems. The more transformative edges of the agroecology movement are advancing feminist, decolonial and anti-racist approaches that move the analysis from the centres of power to the margins where the hitherto excluded and oppressed are claiming power. Inequity manifests in overt discrimination as well as unequal access to resources and decision-making power at the household or farm level or to markets, credit, knowledge, governance, relations and other resources at the community or territorial level. In the absence of a focus on equity, efforts to advance agroecology risk exacerbating inequity.

Abstract:

Background: The number of people infected HIV/ AIDS continues to increase, including in Jambi. The reports from January to September showed 51 people with HIV infection occurred in Jambi. The accessibility of HIV/ AIDS voluntary counseling and testing (VCT) services are important in high risk area. This study aimed to investigate the HIV/ AIDS prevention program through the implementation of voluntary counseling and testing services at primary health center, Jambi. Subjects and Method: The mix-method study was conducted at three locations, including Tanjung Pinang, Rawasari, and Pakuan Baru Community Health Centres, from March to May 2020. The study’s informants were HIV/ AIDS counselors, laboratorian/ pharmacists, and HIV / AIDS risk groups who visited the VCT clinic. The data were collected through in-depth interviews and direct observations. The data were reported descriptively. Results: The implementation of the VCT program was generally good (82%), i.e., counselors had attended the training at least once, and the education level of health workers was standard. The health professionals were friendly and used simple and understandable language to communicate with clients. The facilities and infrastructure showed that the cleanroom was clean, but the other facilities were still incomplete. There was only one door in the counseling room and the absence of an information board for the VCT service flow. Some of these HIV/ AIDS counselors also had responsibility for some other programs besides VCT services. There was a WhatsApp group with risk groups. Conclusion: The VCT program is well implemented. Some improvements in terms of periodic evaluation of the implementation of VCT services, upgrading staff skills and providing an adequate number of facilities and infrastructure.

Abstract:

Background: After birth, the growth and growth of boys will tend to be faster than girls and will last until a certain moment. This is affected by testosterone, a hormone that is higher in male babies than in female babies. The employment status of mothers may affect the role and presence of mothers in stimulating children to achieve motor development according to their age. Working mothers can have a negative or positive influence on the development of children. The negative impact of working mothers is that the presence of the mother in the child’s daily life is lower than that of the mother who is not working, so that the mother can provide motivation and stimulation. This study aimed to determine the gender and occupation relationship on fine motor skill among infants aged 6-11 months. Subjects and Method: This was a cross-sectional study of 284 infants aged 6-11 months. This study was carried out in eight community health centres in Kulon Progo Regency, Yogyakarta. The dependent variable was fine motor skill. The independent variable was gender. Data on fine motoric development were based on the results of the pre-screening development questionnaire. Other data were collected from interview and questionnaire. Data were analyze using the Chi-square test. Results: There was a significant relationship between gender and fine motor development among infants aged 6-11 months. Conclusion: Gender is proven to have a significant relationship with fine motor development among infants aged 6-11 months.

Abstract:

ABSTRACT Background: Community health center (puskesmas) management information system or often referred to as SIMPUS is a local health system aimed at providing health information at primary health care level. This health information systems have been implemented in many districts. However, their performance is yet to be improved caused by several factors such as a lack of human resources and hardware. This study aimed to investigate factors associated with implementation of health information management in community health centers. Subjects and Method: This was a systematic review by collecting published articles in open-access journals and proceedings from Directory of Open Access Journal, Elsevier, and Google scholar databases. “Health information system”, “implementation health information system”, and “evaluation health information system” were used as key findings. The selected articles were reviewed by meta-aggregate. Results: Previous studies reported that implementation of health information management in community health center faced several barriers, including (1) incomplete data, and (2) low monitoring and safety control. To implement health information management properly, the following components need to be fulfilled: (1) infrastructure availability (software, hardware, data safety, and internet network speed), (2) human source (user knowledge, experience, skill, accuracy), and (3) funds. Conclusion: Implementation of health information management in community health center is affected by infrastructure availability, internet network speed, user knowledge and experience, and funds.

Abstract:

This rapid review synthesises the literature on how community-based management of acute malnutrition (CMAM) programmes could be adapted in settings of conflict and fragility. It identifies multiple factors affecting the quality and effectiveness of CMAM services including the health system, community engagement and linkages with other programmes, including education, sanitation, and early childhood development. Family MUAC (Mid-Upper Arm Circumference) is a useful tool to increase community participation and detect early cases of moderate acute malnutrition (MAM) and severe acute malnutrition (SAM) more effectively and less likely to require inpatient care. The literature does not say a lot about m-Health solutions (using mobile devises and applications) in data collection and surveillance systems. Many of the above-mentioned issues are relevant for CMAM programmes in settings of non-emergency, emergency, conflict and fragility. However, there are special circumstance in conflict and fragile settings that need adaptation and simplification of the standard protocols. Because of a broken or partly broken health system in settings of conflict and fragility, local governments are not able to fund access to adequate inpatient and outpatient treatment centres. NGOs and humanitarian agencies are often able to set up stand-alone outpatient therapeutic programmes or mobile centres in the most affected regions. The training of community health volunteers (CHVs) is important and implementing Family MUAC. Importantly, research shows that: Low literacy of CHVs is not a problem to achieve good nutritional outcomes as long as protocols are simplified. Combined/simplified protocols are not inferior to standard protocols. However, due to complexities and low funding, treatment is focused on SAM and availability for children with MAM is far less prioritised, until they deteriorate to SAM. There is widespread confusion about combined/simplified protocol terminology and content, because there is no coherence at the global level.

Abstract:

Prompt access to diagnosis and treatment with effective antimalarial drugs is a central component of malaria control. Home- or community-based programmes for managing malaria are one strategy that has been proposed to overcome the geographical barrier to malaria treatment. In these programmes people living in rural settings, such as mothers, volunteers, or community health workers, are trained to recognise fever and provide antimalarial medicines at a low cost or for free.
