Abstract:
Background: The St. Louis Children's Hospital Healthy Kids Express Asthma (HKEA) program was developed to improve asthma control in children who attend schools with the highest asthma prevalence in the metropolitan area. The HKEA program differs from other programs because unscheduled visits occur at school without parents present. Objective: To assess the effectiveness of the HKEA program via a retrospective quality assurance study. Methods: A chart review was performed to evaluate the change in health-care utilization, absenteeism, staff and student education, inhaler technique checks, and parent satisfaction surveys before and after participation in the program. The Wilcoxon signed rank test, two-way analysis of variance, and descriptive statistics were used to analyze the data. Results: The HKEA program recruited 1076 participants ages 5‐15 years during 3 school years, from 2008 to 2011. The participants showed a reduction in emergency department visits (36.9% to 14.2%) and hospitalizations (7.1% to 5.0%) from the year before beginning the program to the third year of the program. Absenteeism was significantly improved, from 59.1% to 27.1%. Staff and student knowledge of asthma improved significantly after completing asthma education programs. More than 90% of participants completed three technique checks of their inhaler and spacer technique and showed significant improvement in their tech check (an inhaler/aero chamber technique check) scores. Parent satisfaction with the HKEA program was rated excellent or very good by 96.9% of the parents. Conclusion: The HKEA program is a novel school-based asthma clinic that is well accepted by parents, and results in less health-care utilization and school absences as well as improved asthma knowledge in participants and the school staff.

Abstract:
In February 2015, the Urban Universities for HEALTH (Health Equity Alignment through Leadership and Transformation of the Health Workforce) learning collaborative site team at the University of Cincinnati held focus groups seeking to understand the contributing factors of underrepresented minority students’ decision to study within the Academic Health Center colleges of Allied Health Sciences, Medicine, Nursing, and Pharmacy. Students identified university and program-level factors as contributing to their perception of a student-centered, quality educational experience. This “pulse check” project with the undergraduate and graduate health-care students affirmed the efficacy of many current recruitment practices and retention strategies. Participant feedback provided rich process improvement data for the Academic Health Center leadership, and the larger urban universities learning collaborative.

Abstract:
PurposeThe purpose of this paper is to conduct a comprehensive review on the implementation and the effect of Japan's Stress Check Program, a national program to monitor and control workplace psychosocial factors that was initiated in December 2015.Design/methodology/approachWe comprehensively reviewed articles published in Japanese and English, assessed the performance of the Stress Check Program and summarized future challenges. We also discussed the implications for practice.FindingsThe available literature presented a scientific basis for the efficiency and validity of predictions using the Brief Job Stress Questionnaire, which is the instrument recommended to screen workers with high stress in the program. No study has verified the effect of the program on workers' mental health by using group analysis of stress check results. There is room for improvement in tools that contribute to identifying workers with high stress and in measures for improving the work environment. The Stress Check Program contrasts with risk management of psychosocial factors at work, widely adopted in European countries as a strategy for improving workers' mental health by focussing on the psychosocial work environment.Practical implicationsAlthough the effectiveness of the Japanese program needs further evaluation, future developments of the program would provide insight for national policies on psychosocial risks/psychosocial stress at work.Originality/valueThis paper is the first systematic review on the implementation and effects of Japan's Stress Check Program.

Abstract:
Men’s disproportionate rate of suicide and substance use has been linked to problematic conformity to traditional masculine ideals. Mental health promotion interventions directed toward men should address the gender-specific needs of men; yet, no tools exist to provide such guidance. To address this need, the Check-Mate tool was developed as part of a global evaluation of the Movember Foundation’s Social Innovators Challenge (SIC). The tool provides an initial set of evidence-based guidelines for incorporating gender-related influences in men’s mental health promotion programs. This article describes the development of Check-Mate and an evaluation of its usability and usefulness. Using a qualitative descriptive approach, semistructured interviews were conducted with the leads for eight of the SIC projects; they used the tool for these. Data were analyzed using conventional content analysis. Overall, project leads found the tool user-friendly. Identified strengths of Check-Mate included its practicality, adaptability, usefulness for priming thinking on gender sensitization, and value in guiding program planning and implementation. With respect to limitations, project leads explained that the complexity of men’s mental health promotion programming may limit applicability of some or all approaches included in Check-Mate. They also expressed concern about how using Check-Mate might reinforce hegemonic masculine ideals. It was suggested that examples illustrating the use of Check-Mate would be a helpful accompaniment to the tool. Findings indicate that Check-Mate is a useful guide in men’s mental health promotion programming. In addition to future testing of the tool in different settings, links between the tool’s approaches and program outcomes should be explored.

Abstract:
The World Health Organization (WHO) recognizes immunization as one of the most successful and effective public health interventions for saving lives. In developing a roadmap for prioritizing use of the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) vaccines in the context of limited supply, WHO highlighted the importance of a values (ethical principles) framework. Immunization does need to be subject to independent ethical scrutiny of vaccine research data, manufacturing practices, the legal and ethical assurance of informed consent, and also social justice issues with respect to program equity, including right to access. An ethics review of Australia’s immunization program was reported in 2012. This CANVax (Canadian Vaccination Evidence Resource and Exchange Centre) Brief offers an ethics review of immunization in Canada using the criteria utilized for Australia.

Abstract:
Background: Dupak Public Health Center is one of the public health service facilities in Surabaya that provides integrateddental and oral health services. Dupak Public Health Center covers Dupak District area. Only 8.2% out of 366 pregnantwomen visited the dental poly from April 2017–April 2018. An epidemiological study reported that dental visitationin pregnant women in the Dupak Public Health Center was still very low. Lower knowledge levels of pregnant womenabout dental and oral health caused the low dental visitation in the dental poly. An intervention was needed to changethe negative behavior related to dental and oral health, especially in pregnant women. Purpose: To increase the dentalvisitation of pregnant women in the dental poly of the Dupak Public Health Center. Methods: The program adopted thehealth education strategy with a group approach. The group means cadres of pregnant women. Pregnant women learnedabout dental and oral health during pregnancy. Results: Eight pregnant women were attending the invitation. The pretest result showed that 71.60% of pregnant women had answered questions correctly, and the post-test result showed that88.75% of pregnant women had answered the questions correctly. Conclusion: This program is effective to increase theknowledge of pregnancy woman that will lead to dental visitation.

Abstract:
Background: Oral and dental hygiene is essential for physical health and well-being, and it can affect speech, mastication, and self-confidence. Children under five are not able to brush their teeth independently, do not have manual dexterity and psychological maturity to understand the importance of maintaining oral health. Therefore, parental role, especially maternal role, is critical in maintaining children’s dental and oral health. An epidemiological study under Kalijudan Public Health Center coverage revealed that maternal parenting style significantly affected dental and oral health care in children per caries severity index using def-t. A promotional program was needed to strengthen the maternal perceived control domain to promote dental and oral health in children. The “SEKOLAH KADER” program was intended to train health cadres in disseminating dental health information and assisting mothers in child dental and oral health care. Purpose: To increase cadres’ knowledge levels about pediatric dental and oral care through “SEKOLAH KADER.” Upon program completion, the cadres were expected to help to disseminate dental health information and assisting mothers in terms of child dental and oral health. Methods: The program involved 6 cadres from 3 local Integrated Health Centre. The program material was distributed in hard and soft copies. Results: The paired t-test showed a significance value of 0.018 (p <0.05). This indicates that there was a significant increase from pre-test to post-test evaluation results. Conclusion: This program has succeeded in increasing cadres’ knowledge levels about basic dental health care.

Abstract:
India contributes one fifth to the global burden of maternal mortality, which is a mostly preventable health outcome. The government of India and the city legislators of Mumbai have been working to reduce the number of maternal and infant deaths in the urban poor communities by innovative governmental health programs and improving of the healthcare system, yet due to the low female literacy rate of 65% in the nation just population based programs combat only some aspects of the program. The Society for Nutrition, Education and Health Action (SNEHA), a Mumbai based non-profit, aims to work with women in vulnerable communities through one on one home-based educational intervention through local community workers. Literature reviews on educational intervention and health promotion stressed on the success of community health worker programs.This thesis aims to study the factors that lead to maternal compliance or non-compliance to educational intervention by the community workers in SNEHA. This was done through qualitative interviews with a random set of beneficiaries of the SNEHA’s Maternal and Newborn Health promotion program. The beneficiaries were asked questions about compliance of medical check ups, vaccination, and other factors of maternal and infant health. The conclusions of the thesis show that increased maternal compliance is related to better relationships with thecommunity organizers, and the negative perceptions of the public medical providers leads to lower compliance of medical check-ups.

Abstract:
Purpose of program: Access to health care services remains a significant barrier for many Indigenous people’s living in rural and remote regions of Canada. Driven by geographical isolation and compounded by socioeconomic and environmental disparities, individuals living under these circumstances face disproportionately poor health outcomes. Kidney Check is a comprehensive screening, triage, and treatment initiative working to bring culturally safe preventive care to rural and remote Indigenous communities across Manitoba, Ontario, BC, Alberta, and Saskatchewan. The project’s patient-oriented approach addresses concerns raised by kidney patients and their caregivers using culturally safe practices. Using the various expertise of their multidisciplinary team, Kidney Check seeks to further collaborative efforts to improve access to preventive health care for these groups. Meaningful engagement with patients, communities, and local health care stakeholders ensures Indigenous voices are heard and incorporated into the project in a way that promotes shared decision-making and sustainability. Sources of information: As an affiliate program of the Can-SOLVE CKD Network, Kidney Check’s guiding priorities were developed over 3 years of patient consultation and finalized during 2 workshops held with more than 30 patients, caregivers, Indigenous peoples, researchers, and policy makers using a modified Delphi process. Today, patients continue to participate in project development via 2 governing bodies: The Patient Governance Circle and the Indigenous Peoples Engagement and Research Council (IPERC). Methods: Modeled after the Indigenous-led 2015 FINISHED project in Manitoba, Kidney Check employs point-of-care testing to identify diabetes, hypertension, and chronic kidney disease (CKD) in individuals, ages 10 and above, regardless of pre-existing risk factors. The Kidney Check team consists of 4 working groups: project leadership, provincial management, local community partners, and patient partners. By using and building on existing relationships between local and provincial health care stakeholders and various Indigenous communities, the program furthers collaborative efforts to bridge gaps in health equity. Key findings: The Kidney Check program has established an infrastructure that integrates patient engagement at all stages of the program from priority setting to deployment and dissemination strategies. Limitations: While we encourage and offer screening services to all, many still choose not to attend for a variety of reasons which may introduce selection bias. Kidney Check uses patient engagement as a foundational component of the program; however, there is currently a limited amount of research documenting the benefits of patient engagement in health care settings. More formal qualitative evaluations of these activities are needed. In addition, as the COVID-19 pandemic has halted screening procedures in most communities, we currently do not have quantitative data to support the efficacy of the Kidney Check program. Implications: For many Indigenous people, lack of accessibility to health care services is compounded by sociopolitical barriers that disrupt relationships between patients and providers. Meaningful engagement presents one opportunity to ensure the voices and perspectives of Indigenous patients and communities are incorporated into health services. In addition, this screening paradigm has shown to be cost effective as shown by analyses done on the FINISHED screening program.

Abstract:
Objectives In this study, the purpose of developing oral education programs for early childhood educational institutions applying the health belief model was to lay the foundation for continuous and systematic oral health education in early childhood education institutions. Methods Through the literature review stage, the necessity of oral education program development research and research plan are established, and the needs of early childhood teachers, principals, parents, and dental hygiene experts are surveyed, analyzed and reflected to provide continuous oral education in early childhood education institutions. The health belief model (HBM) was applied to the possible oral education objectives, educational goals, educational contents, and teaching and learning methods. The suitability was verified by early childhood education experts and dental hygiene experts, and qualitative and quantitative evaluation methods for teachers and infants were constructed in the evaluation method. Results This program consists of 17 sessions, by modifying and supplementing the health belief model appropriately for oral education, to have sensitivity to one's own oral health, to recognize the seriousness of the cause of dental caries, and to recognize the benefits arising from good oral health habits. The program consisted of procedures of recovering oral health obstacles, and acquiring a sense of self-efficacy. Conclusions Through this study, children in early childhood education institutions check their oral conditions and based on this, they can expand and change their awareness of healthy oral care to practice and maintain behaviors for healthy oral hygiene. The significance of this study can be found in that it has prepared a sustainable oral education program that allows.

Abstract:
Check-in check-out (CICO) is a widely implemented program aimed at increasing prosocial behavior. Aligned with the logic of Tier 2 supports, CICO has a standard protocol meant to be implemented in a standardized fashion across all students. However, as CICO is not effective for all at-risk students, it is quite common to find researchers implementing adapted versions of CICO. The purpose of this review was to explore the types of, rationale for, and timing of adaptations made to CICO. Results showed that 71% of studies using CICO made adaptations to core components. While most of these adaptations were made at the onset of treatment, we found little evidence to suggest researchers had a systematic process for selecting adaptations. As schools continue to seek the most efficient and effective means to provide behavior supports to students, adaptive intervention planning is an important process to consider.

Abstract Aim: For achieving healthy aging for all, multi-faceted frailty is serious problem in super-aged society such as Japan. We developed community-based frailty check-up program performed by trained senior volunteers. In this study, we aimed to validate the ability of the results of check-up to predict needing long-term support or care insurance or death in community-dwelling older population. Methods: A total of 1,536 older adults (mean age, 73.0±6.1 years; 74% women; non-eligible for long-term support or care) participated in the check-ups held from April, 2015 to March, 2018 in Kashiwa City, Japan. At check-ups cite, 21 items including nutrition, oral and physical functions, and social conditions were assessed; Outcome was needing long-term support or care insurance, or death from the day of check-ups until October, 2018. Results: During follow-up {median 678 days (inter-quartile range, 199-1263)}, 116 (7.6%) were newly needing for long-term support (n=50) or care (n=49), or death (n=18). The number of positive responses among 21 items was associated with decreased risks of outcome {age-sex adjusted hazard ratio (95% confidence interval), 0.87 (0.81-0.92)}. Compared those with &gt; 18 positive responses (third tertile), individuals with &lt; 14 positive responses (first tertile) were highly increased risks of outcome {age-sex adjusted hazard ratio (95% confidence interval), 2.44 (1.22-4.49)}. Conclusions: Community-based frailty check-ups program could predict the needing long-term support or care insurance or death in community-dwelling older population. The appropriate intervention for individuals with bad results of the check-up might contribute to serving as early prevention of multi-faceted frailty.

Abstract:
Background: Dental and oral health problems occur in all age groups, including the elderly. Dental caries is one of thedental and oral health problems. An epidemiological study reported that 83.5% out of 91 elderly respondents did nothave a routine dental check-up. The data concluded that those who routinely have dental check-up had a lower cariesrisk than the others. The public health centre did not have data about the total of elderly visitors in the dental poly unit.The BULAN KESGILUT book aimed to help to monitor dental and oral health status in the elderly. Purpose: To helpthe dental poly and elderly visitors to have medical records related to dental and oral health using BULAN KESGILUTbook. Methods: The program adopted an indirect health education method involving cadres and dentists from the publichealth centre. The counselling was done by group. The lecture consisted of dental and oral health material printed inthe BULAN KESGILUT book. We have then informed the dentists on how to record the dental and oral health statusin the BULAN KESGILUT book and educate the cadres on how to read those records. Results: The mean of cadres’understanding of BULAN KESGILUT book was 97.92%, and the mean of cadres’ information dissemination relatedto BULAN KESGILUT book was 55.81%. Conclusion: The program results showed that BULAN KESGILUT was aneffective media in monitoring dental and oral health status in the elderly. However, a continuous promotion by the cadresand the public health center is necessary

Abstract:
Fathers significantly influence family functioning, as coparents and partners, and must be part of family-based approaches to behavioral health interventions or programs. But little is known regarding how to support Latino fathers in health promotion within their family systems, specifically for Latino families living in border communities. Program development was embedded in a larger community-based grant and part of a longstanding academic-community collaboration. An interdisciplinary research team applied theories related to health behavior, family systems, behavior change, and community engagement to develop a father-focused and family-centered behavioral program for Mexican-heritage fathers and children living near the Texas-Mexico border to support changes in nutrition and physical activity at the individual and family levels. Promotoras de salud (trained community health workers) delivered the program through group sessions, check-in calls, and at-home activities. Group session activities were designed to engage family triads and dyads using experiential education related to nutrition and physical activity, like cooking lessons and active play, over a six-week period. Future research can use the program approach and curricula as a roadmap for designing context-specific and culturally-relevant programs for Latino families. Additional research is needed to explore how approaches like this can support families and their health goals.

Abstract:
Artificial intelligence virtual health assistants are a promising emerging technology. This study is a process evaluation of a 12-week pilot physical activity and diet program delivered by virtual assistant “Paola”. This single-arm repeated measures study (n = 28, aged 45–75 years) was evaluated on technical performance (accuracy of conversational exchanges), engagement (number of weekly check-ins completed), adherence (percentage of step goal and recommended food servings), and user feedback. Paola correctly asked scripted questions and responded to participants during the check-ins 97% and 96% of the time, respectively, but correctly responded to spontaneous exchanges only 21% of the time. Participants completed 63% of weekly check-ins and conducted a total of 3648 exchanges. Mean dietary adherence was 91% and was lowest for discretionary foods, grains, red meat, and vegetables. Participants met their step goal 59% of the time. Participants enjoyed the program and found Paola useful during check-ins but not for spontaneous exchanges. More in-depth knowledge, personalized advice and spontaneity were identified as important improvements. Virtual health assistants should ensure an adequate knowledge base and ability to recognize intents and entities, include personality and spontaneity, and provide ongoing technical troubleshooting of the virtual assistant to ensure the assistant remains effective.

Abstract:
Abstrak Kematian maternal seringkali disebabkan adanya komplikasi dari kehamilan dan persalinan. Millenium Development Goals (MDGs) menyatakan kematian maternal menjadi penghambat pencapaian sasaran dalam meningkatkan kesehatan ibu. Puskesmas sebagai layanan kesehatan primer memegang peranan penting dalam pencapaian tersebut. Pada tahun 2019 Puskesmas X memiliki rata-rata pencapaian cakupan indikator program kesehatan ibu sebanyak 106%. Pada tahun 2020 bertepatan dengan pandemi COVID-19 diperlukan evaluasi program kesehatan ibu. Tujuan penelitian ini untuk mempelajari pencapaian indikator program kesehatan ibu di Puskesmas X Kabupaten Badung Tahun 2020. Pengumpulan data menggunakan data sekunder dengan analisis deskriptif. Hasil menunjukkan capaian indikator program kesehatan ibu tahun 2019 (106%) dan 2020 (118,22%). Terjadi penurunan rata-rata sasaran/ jumlah pasien pada semua indikator capaian program kecuali deteksi resiko tinggi oleh tenaga kesehatan. Secara umum terjadi peningkatan rata-rata capaian indikator program akibat penurunan rata-rata sasaran/ jumlah pasien yang ditetapkan oleh Dinas Kesehatan setempat dampak dari pandemi. Meski demikian rata-rata sasaran/ jumlah pasien mengalami penurunan. Diharapkan upaya perbaikan dilakukan sesuai dengan plan, do, check dan action (PDCA) dan peningkatan pemantauan oleh tenaga kesehatan pada tiap layanan kesehatan sehingga program dapat berjalan dengan lancar.Kata kunci : Evaluasi, Program, Kesehatan IbuAbstractComplications during pregnancy and childbirth are frequently to blame for maternal deaths. Maternal mortality is a barrier to attaining targets for improving maternal health, according to the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs). This accomplishment is significantly aided by Public Health Centers as primary healthcare providers. The average indicator coverage for maternal health programs at Public Health Center X in 2019 was 106%. Evaluation of maternal health initiatives is required in 2020, the year of the COVID-19 pandemic.The purpose of this study was to study the achievement of maternal health program indicators at Puskesmas X, Badung Regency in 2020. Data collection used secondary data with descriptive analysis. The results show the achievement of maternal health program indicators in 2019 (106%) and 2020 (118.22%). There was a decrease in the average target/number of patients in all program achievement indicators except for high risk detection by health workers. In general, there was an increase in the average achievement of program indicators due to a decrease in the average target/number of patients set by the local Health Office as a result of the pandemic. However, the average target/number of patients has decreased. It is hoped that improvement efforts will be carried out in accordance with the plan, do, check and action (PDCA) and increased monitoring by health workers in each health service so that the program can run smoothly.Keywords   : Evaluation, Program, Maternal Health

Abstract:
HIV, globally, remains a significant public health issue and community HIV testing can help to identify those with HIV at an early stage of disease. The workplace offers a prime location for provision of opt-in HIV testing as part of wider health promotion initiatives. The construction industry offers a key opportunity for HIV testing provision in a generally male-dominated group exhibiting some risky behaviors related to HIV. The intervention was an optional one-off individual health check with tailored health advice and signposting, offered to the construction workforce in health check events delivered as part of a large-scale multi-site research program called Test@Work. The events were undertaken at 10 participating organizations (21 events across 16 different sites), none had previously offered sexual health awareness or HIV testing to their workforce. Participants were invited to participate in a semi-structured interview following general health checks which included HIV testing. Out of 426 employees attending the health check events, 338 (79.3%) consented to interview on exit. Accessing HIV testing at work was valued because it was convenient, quick, and compatible with work demands. Interviewees identified HIV risks for construction including drug use, high numbers of sexual partners and job-related exposures, e.g., to used needles. Health seeking in construction was limited by stigma and low support, with particular barriers for non-permanent workers. The organization of the construction industry is complex with multiple organizations of different sizes having responsibility for varying numbers of employees. A disparity between organizational policies and employment circumstances is evident, and this generates significant health inequalities. To combat this, we recommend that organizations in the construction sector offer their employees awareness-raising around health behaviors and health protection in packages, such as toolbox talks. We recommend these be accompanied by annual health checks, including sexual health awareness and opt-in workplace HIV testing. This approach is highly acceptable to the workforce in the industry and removes barriers to access to healthcare.

Abstract:
Various effects of forest healing on health have been reported, but a certification system to assess the effectiveness of forest healing programs does not exist. In this study, a systematic review (SR) on the “health benefits of forests” and “meta-analysis of forest therapy” was conducted after analyzing the status and level of evidence of 75 forest healing programs that were conducted post-certification in South Korea. The SR for “health benefits of forests” distinguished between activities and time, resulting in 90.9% of walking activities for more than an hour under psychological health, and 100.0% of exercise activities for less than an hour under physiological health. However, the effect of indirect activities performed for more than an hour was unknown. Thus, we confirmed that many indoor activities in the field had low effect size or no established basis regarding the feasibility of its operation. The SR on “meta-analysis of forest therapy” to check whether the program was effective. The highest number of healing effects were obtained for blood pressure (32), followed by psychological depression (24). The findings of this can serve as baseline data to facilitate future development and dissemination of evidence-based forest healing programs.

Should ethnography be a central part of a dental health promotion program? It may not automatically seem so to dentists and other health professionals. The public may think that designing a dental health promotion program is simple: just tell people to brush their teeth, limit the use of the baby bottle, eat fewer sweets, and go to the dentist at least once a year for a dental cleaning and check-up. However, educating people about such things becomes difficult when toothpaste is considered a luxury, transportation is inaccessible, water is a few hours walk or comes only a few hours a day, people use idiomatic terms to describe a toothache, and food is a limited resource.

Abstract:
Vascular disease is a leading cause of death and disability. While it is preventable, little is known about the feasibility or acceptability of implementing interventions to prevent vascular disease in Australian primary health care. We conducted a cluster randomised controlled trial assessing prevention of vascular disease in patients aged 40–65 by providing a lifestyle modification program in general practice. Interviews with 13 general practices in the intervention arm of this trial examined their views on implementing the lifestyle modification program in general practice settings. Qualitative study, involving thematic analysis of semi-structured interviews with 11 general practitioners, four practice nurses and five allied health providers between October 2009 and April 2010. Providing brief lifestyle intervention fitted well with routine health-check consultations; however, acceptance and referral to the program was dependent on the level of facilitation provided by program coordinators. Respondents reported that patients engaged with the advice and strategies provided in the program, which helped them make lifestyle changes. Practice nurse involvement was important to sustaining implementation in general practice, while the lack of referral services for people at risk of developing vascular disease threatens maintenance of lifestyle changes as few respondents thought patients would continue lifestyle changes without long-term follow up. Lifestyle modification programs to prevent vascular disease are feasible in general practice but must be provided in a flexible format, such as being offered out of hours to facilitate uptake, with ongoing support and follow up to assist maintenance. The newly formed Medicare Locals may have an important role in facilitating lifestyle modification programs for this target group.
