Schools should pertain to a comprehensive system to deal with day to dayemergencies, as children spend more than six hours at school and are liable to suffer frominjuries and illnesses. Objectives: This study was conducted with the objective of assessingthe experiences of students regarding healthcare management especially first aid patterns atschool. Study Design: Cross sectional study. Setting: Study was conducted on 50 studentsenrolled from ten identified public and private schools of Lahore Period: Six months. Methods:In depth interviews were conducted on students from classes 6-10 who had suffered from aninjury or illness during school hours within the last six months. Results: In these 50 studentsthe most common injury were fractures and dislocations (15), most common illness was fever(19). Majority (41) were managed at schools with a first aid facility and provision of sick rooms(28). Teachers were the main healthcare providers in private schools (17), as compared topublic schools (9). Lack of properly trained health professionals was observed; only 7 out of 50schools had employed nurses. Health education regarding hand washing, personal hygiene,dengue prevention was being provided in (45) schools. Conclusion: This study highlights theimportance of provision of first aid services at school and the need to train teachers regardingbasic life support. Implementation of the existing school health program needs to be emphasizedin all schools of Lahore.

Full textAbstract:
While a large number of studies focus on childcare facilities for preschool children, attention for out-of-school facilities is limited. The implicit assumption seems to be that facilities to combine work and care activities are less relevant once children reach the schoolgoing age. Yet, in most countries school hours are only part-time and not compatible with a full-time working week. This study adds to the literature by providing the first overview of the availability and quality of out-of-school childcare in 27 European Union (EU) member states. The results show that only a few EU countries have a well-developed infrastructure of out-of-school care services. In addition, the (structural) quality of out-of-school care varies across the member states. Given the importance of a supportive infrastructure, a further investment in comprehensive out-of-school care system remains important, both from the perspective of the (female) participation rate and the well-being of children.

IntroductionChildcare settings have been widely identified as important venues for promoting healthy lifestyles to children. Out-of-school hours care (OSHC) is a rapidly growing childcare service, yet there has been limited research reported on healthy eating and physical activity (HEPA) environments within the Australian OSHC setting. This research aims to describe the HEPA environments related to foods and beverages served, staff behaviours and child physical activity levels across two local health districts within New South Wales, Australia. This study will provide evidence to support future interventions and policies in Australian OSHC settings.Methods and analysisA cross-sectional study design will be used to describe the food and beverages provided and child activity levels, and report on environmental correlates. OSHC programmes will be visited on non-consecutive weekdays between 2018 and 2020. The frequency of foods and beverages offered will be observed and categorised into food groups aligned to the Australian Dietary Guidelines. Children’s physical activity will be measured using ActiGraph wGT3X-BT accelerometers. Staff behaviour will be captured via direct observation and the System for Observing Staff Promotion of Activity and Nutrition. Short interviews with programme directors will gather contextual information about OSHC practices and policies.Ethics and disseminationFindings will be disseminated through peer-reviewed scientific journals, conference presentations and individualised feedback to each participating service. Ethical approval was granted by the University of Wollongong Human Research Ethics Committee (HE17/490).

Full textAbstract:
Self-care in primary school age children (the ‘latchkeyphenomenon’) is often regarded as problematic, threatening children’s psychological and physical well-being, although suggestions that it is beneficial are also sometimes made. It is likely that more Australian children are being expected to look after themselves with reducing formal out-of-school hours care facilities. This paper reviews the available evidence on the effects of self-care. It concludes that it is not possible to state categorically that self-care has either negative or positive effects on children’s psychological well-being, as a range of factors influences outcome, for example, the children’s age, family relationships and whether sibling care is involved. Although under-researched, the physical safety of children without adult supervision remains a concern. It is concluded that, while many children will emerge well from the self-care experience, others will not, and that it is therefore important that affordable out-of-school hours care facilities continue to be made available to families.

Full textAbstract:
Action on Disability within Ethnic Communities (ADEC) was funded by the Department of Human Services and Health, Children's Services branch, to research the needs of families who are from a non-English speaking background and have a child with a disability. Twenty-two families were interviewed about their awareness and need for child care; whether there were any cultural or linguistic barriers in accessing services, and ways services could be improved. Families interviewed were from the Melbourne metropolitan area and represented a number of diverse religious and ethnic backgrounds. The main issues identified included a general lack of information about child care options. In particular, families had a poor knowledge of family day care and out of school hours care. Carers of school-aged children felt there was a need for out of school hours care, particularly over the holiday period. There was no relationship between parents who required a lot of assistance with the child with a disability and the amount of help received or the use of services according to a Spearman's correlation. Different child care options may need to be promoted more widely within ethnic communities. Some positive aspects of child care that need to be highlighted to the carers are the benefits to the child's social and intellectual development and as a form of respite care.

Full textAbstract:
Background: Despite the availability of different health care initiatives and interventions, young people are still faced with barriers in accessing reproductive health care services; thus, they are exposed to health-related issues such as sexually transmitted infections. Aim: To determine the awareness, utilization and perceptions about sexually transmitted infections services provided to out-of-school-youth in primary health facilities in the Tshwane district, Gauteng Province, South Africa. Methods: The study employed a quantitative, cross-sectional descriptive survey with a sample size of 219 to determine the level of awareness, utilization and perceptions about sexually transmitted infections services provided to out-of-school-youth in Tshwane district. Results: Out-of-school-youth between the ages of 18–24 years participated in the study. Most of the participants (90.8%, n = 199) were female. Service utilization was high in females compared to their male counterparts. There is availability of youth-friendly services in primary health care facilities, however, the level of service utilization among young people is still a challenge evidenced by 12.1% (n = 74) of participants who never sought treatment for STIs, although they had STI symptoms. Furthermore, 52.0% reported that they were not happy with the health services they received when they had STIs. These findings clearly indicate a gap in service delivery for young people regarding reproductive health issues; thus, the low health care seeking behavior among the youth. Condom use was 69.1% and/or inconsistently used among the youth; about 80% of the participants had low perceptions of the risk of contracting STIs. The self-reported risks of HIV and AIDS was 46.8%. Approximately 20% reported that they would not refuse to have sex if their partner did not want to use condoms. These findings showed risky behavior among the participants, and shows that the level of awareness about the risk of contracting STIs is still poor. Conclusions: Irrespective of facilities with youth-friendly services, out-of-school-youth still display poor perceptions about sexually transmitted infections services due to health care providers’ attitudes, limited resources, and working hours. Furthermore, the level of awareness regarding sexually transmitted infections is poor, hence the display of risky sexual behaviors.

OBJECTIVES/SPECIFIC AIMS: The American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) recommends that preschool-aged children spend no more than 2 hours/day using digital screens such as TVs. However, there is a proliferation of digital screens in children’s daily lives both at school and at home. The purpose of this study was to examine factors that contribute to children’s screen-time, including their demographic characteristics and whether or not they have screen-time at school. METHODS/STUDY POPULATION: In total, 59 children (3.3±0.4 years of age; 47% female) enrolled in 3 child care centers participated. Center directors reported school screen-time; 1 center was classified as not providing screen-time and 2 centers were classified as providing screen-time. Parents reported child’s age, sex, and maternal education as a proxy for socio-economic status. Parents reported child’s out-of-school screen-time by responding to the question “During the past 30 days, on average how many hours per day did your child sit and watch TV or videos outside of school?” Additional questions queried how many hours per day did the child “use a computer or play computer games,” “play video games,” “use a smartphone,” and “use an iPad or tablet.” Children’s height and weight were collected using standard clinic procedures and body mass index (BMI) was calculated. T tests were used to examine differences in screen-time by age, sex, and school screen-time. General linear models were used to examine the influence of school screen-time (1=no screen-time, 0=between 1 and 60 min/day of screen-time), age, BMI, and maternal education on out-of-school screen-time and time spent with each device. Logistic regression analysis was used to examine likelihood of meeting screen-time recommendations based on the same characteristics. RESULTS/ANTICIPATED RESULTS: Parent-reported total screen-time was 6.3±3.6 hours/day (h/d); specifically, 2.5±1.1 h/d watching TV, 1.5±2.2 h/d using a smartphone, 1.1±0.9 h/d using a tablet, 0.8±1.0 h/d on a computer, and 0.5±0.7 h/d playing video games. Based on total screen-time, 15% of children met AAP recommendations; based on TV viewing only, 52% met AAP recommendations. The 4-year-old children viewed more screen-time overall compared to the 3-year-old children including on TV, computer, and tablet (p<0.05), but there were no sex differences. In fully adjusted linear models, out-of-school screen-time was lower among those who had no screen-time at school (p=0.02) and higher among older children (p<0.01). Computer use was higher among older children (p=0.02). Older children and those with lower maternal education were less likely to meet clinical recommendations based on TV viewing (p<0.05). There were no observed associations with likelihood of meeting clinical recommendations based on total screen-time. BMI was not a significant predictor of screen-time. DISCUSSION/SIGNIFICANCE OF IMPACT: The majority of children exceeded AAP screen-time limits, with screen-time sharply higher among older children, and the associations did not vary by weight status. Children who attended schools that allowed screen-time had higher amounts of out-of-school screen-time. Pediatricians and healthcare providers should query parents on children’s screen-time practices at home and at school and offer strategies to help families meet the clinical recommendations.

Full textAbstract:
Psychological and social characteristics of individuals are important determinants of their health choices and behaviors. Social networks represent “pipes” through which information and opinions circulate and spread out in the social circle surrounding individuals, influencing their propensity toward important health care interventions. This paper aims to explore the relationship between students’ vaccination health choices and their social networks. We administered a questionnaire to students to collect data on individual students’ demographics, knowledge, and attitudes about vaccinations, as well as their social networks. Forty-nine pupils belonging to 4 classrooms in an Italian secondary school were enrolled in the study. We applied a logistic regression quadratic assignment procedure (LR-QAP) by regressing students’ positive responsive behavior similarity as a dependent variable. LRQAP findings indicate that students’ vaccination behavior similarity is significantly associated with after-school social ties and related social mechanisms, suggesting that pupils are more likely to share information and knowledge about health behaviors through social relationships maintained after school hours rather than through those established during the school day. Moreover, we found that vaccination behaviors are more similar for those students having the same ethnicity as well as for those belonging to the same class. Our findings may help policymakers in implementing effective vaccination strategies.

Full textAbstract:
Children leisure time is usually decided by their immediate environment, i.e. their family. Therefore, leisure activities which are designed in a family and which enable children to discover pleasant experiences and motivate them to care of their own health are of extreme importance. The aim of the study was to highlight the peculiarities of the organization of leisure time activities in a family for elementary school students in the context of health education. The respondents of the study were 614 elementary school students from eight Western Lithuania schools and 604 of their parents. The study has shown that elementary school students rate their health more favourably than their parents. Almost half of the respondents- children (42.7%) have rated their health as very good and around the same number of children (45.3%) have rated it as good. One fifth of respondents- parents (20.7%) have rated the health of their children as very good and more than half of parents (62.3%) have said that the health of their children is good. The opinion of parents and their children on the issue of the time allocated for leisure activities has been discovered as being similar. Respondentschildren indicate that on weekdays their leisure time averages to 2.4 hours/day and at the weekends to 4.3 hours/day. Respondents-parents indicate that children’s leisure time on weekdays lasts for 2.2 hours/ day, and at the weekends it reaches 4.4 hours /day. It has been revealed that the longer the leisure time the children have, the better their health is. The majority of children (78%) believe that they have enough leisure time. Those, who assume that they do not have enough leisure time, and those, who are undecided, make almost one-fourth (24%). A third of elementary school students enjoy physically active forms of leisure time activities (going in for sports) while about a half of respondents-children prefer passive forms of leisure time activities (artistic activities, watching TV, playing computer games, reading books). Respondents- children point out that they devote on average 3.4 hours/day for passive forms of activities and 2.2.hours/day for physical active leisure activities. Their parents state that children spend 4.3 hours /day for passive activities and 1.8 hours/day for physical active leisure activities. Only about one-tenth of families engage themselves in mutual active forms of physical activities and play sports together. Therefore, the leisure time spent by children together with the family is not sufficiently active.

This study presents the assessment of actual indoor climate condition and energy performance in eight NZEB school and daycare centers of NERO H2020 project. Physical parameters such as indoor temperature, relative humidity, CO2, airflow rate and temperature were measured during heating and cooling seasons, in parallel with an occupants’ questionnaires survey. Besides, calculated and measured energy data was collected from energy performance certificates and energy bills. Thermal comfort and IAQ were assessed based on categories in EN15251 standard with color footprints. Results showed that all the buildings had good or excellent indoor climate during the heating season. However, a large percentage of occupied hours were categorized as category IV during the cooling season, which mainly occurred due to too low indoor temperature caused by the low outdoor temperature during the measurement period. Also, all buildings achieved low CO2 levels. Moreover, the conducted questionaries’ survey showed good correlation with measured results for all buildings except in one building, which had odor and noise problems. In contrast, the measured energy use in 5 buildings out of 7 was increased by factor 2.1-3.0 compared to calculated annual energy use due to a full-time operation of the ventilation system and presence of hot kitchens.

Full textAbstract:
Nonparental care (NPC) for children before they enter kindergarten has had two primary purposes for American families since the start of the twentieth century: supporting parental employment and providing children developmentally enriching out-of-home experiences. Today’s policy makers are increasingly expanding publicly funded opportunities for children in low-income families to experience center-based care. Yet parents’ work commitments often occur on evenings, weekends, and other times outside of the traditional school day. Understanding parental work schedules vis-à-vis NPC timing is essential to informing public expansions of accessible and affordable nonparental care options. Using a 7-day calendar from the 2012 National Survey of Early Care and Education, the authors uncover new patterns in the temporal synchronization of parental work and children’s time in various NPC settings and for households of varying incomes. Across all income groups and types of care, center-based care overlaps least with parental work hours. Children living in poverty have the lowest rates of NPC occurring during parental work time. The uncoupling of parental work status from children’s time in nonparental care suggests potential shifts in parents’ choices to expose children to care settings for the purpose of children’s development.

Evidence of short-term impacts of the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic on family life is emerging. Continued research can shed light on potential longer-term impacts. An online survey of U.S. parents with 4- to 8-year-old children (n = 1000) was administered in October 2020. The survey examined parent-reported impacts of COVID-19 on lifestyle (e.g., work, child-care, grocery shopping), as well as current family food acquisition and eating behaviors (e.g., cooking, restaurant use). Descriptive statistics were calculated, incorporating sampling weights based on sociodemographics. In terms of COVID-19 impacts, parents reported increases in working from home, decreased work hours, and increased child care and instruction, with most children attending school or receiving care at home. Parents reported increased home cooking and online grocery shopping; only 33% reported increased take-out or delivery from restaurants. About half of parents reported that their child dined at restaurants, 62% reported getting take-out, and 57% reported delivery from restaurants at least 2–3 times per month. About half viewed dining at restaurants as safe, while take-out and delivery were seen as safe by around three-quarters. Approximately two-thirds reported recent food insecurity. These nationally-representative results illustrate possible longer-lasting shifts in family life, with the potential to impact health and well-being. Sociodemographic differences and research and policy implications are discussed.

The epidemiology of dance injuries requires further study, in order to properly implement effective health interventions. This study aimed to pilot injury surveillance tools to assess the incidence of injuries in adolescent pre-professional dancers and identify the intrinsic and extrinsic risk factors associated with dance injuries. The study involved a prospective, cohort design. A population of adolescent dancers at a liberal arts high school dance program in Natick, Massachusetts, was studied over the nine-month school year in 2000/2001. Intrinsic risk factors, including anatomical characteristics, past medical history, menstrual history, and dance experience, were assessed with a pre-participation history and orthopedic physical exam. The extrinsic risk factors, including training, fatigue, stress, shoes, and calcium intake, were assessed with surveys completed every two weeks by the dancers. Study outcomes were: 1) self-reported injuries (SRIs), 2) reported injuries (RIs) assessed by a physical therapist in the school clinic, 3) duration of injuries, and 4) severity of injuries. Descriptive statistics and univariate analyses were performed on each risk factor. Thirty-nine of 55 dancers participated in the study. The average age was 15.3 years, and 85% of the dancers were female. The return rate for the biweekly surveys was 90%. Over one school year, there were 112 self-reported injuries, averaging 2.8 SRIs per dancer, and 71 reported injuries assessed by the physical therapist, averaging 1.4 RIs per dancer. Consistent with other studies, the most common locations for injuries were ankles, lower leg/calf, and back, usually caused by overuse, muscle strains, and sprains. Although the female dancers reported dancing significantly more hours (3.3 hours per day) than the males (2.7 hours/day), the males had a higher injury rate of SRIs (8.4 injuries/1,000 exposure hours of dancing vs. 4.1 injuries/1,000 hours) as well as RIs (5.5 injuries/1,000 hours vs. 2.6 injuries/1,000 hours). Older age and male sex were risk factors associated with SRIs and RIs. Most risk factors were found not to be statistically associated with the number of SRIs or RIs. Self-reported injuries occur frequently in pre-professional student dancers, who seek medical care in more than half the cases. Health professionals involved with dancers should be familiar with posterior ankle and low back problems. The rates of injuries appear almost twice as high in male dancers than female dancers. The main limitations to this study were small sample size and misclassification, recall, and reporting biases. With the information and tools of this pilot study, a multi-center study can be carried out to better assess risk factors on a larger dance population. Further research should aim to standardize injury definitions and classifications.

Background Out of school hours care (OSHC) services provide a unique opportunity to deliver early intervention programs to enhance primary school–aged children’s social, emotional, physical, and cognitive well-being; however, such programs are currently lacking. Objective This study aims to address the lack of well-being programs for children accessing OSHC services in the research literature by using participatory design (PD) to collaboratively develop and test an OSHC well-being program—the connect, promote, and protect program (CP3). Methods The study employed methods of PD, user (acceptance) testing, and iterative knowledge translation to develop a novel well-being program framework—CP3—with key stakeholders (eg, children, OSHC staff, volunteers, families, clinicians, educators, and researchers). Thematic techniques were used to interpret and translate the qualitative information obtained during the research and design cycles. Results The co-design process generated the CP3 model, which comprises a group-based mentoring approach to facilitate enhanced activities in OSHC settings. Activities are underpinned by 4 key principles of program delivery: build well-being and resilience, broaden horizons, inspire and engage, and connect communities. Conclusions To our knowledge, the CP3 program is the first co-designed well-being program developed specifically for OSHC services. This co-design process is key to ensuring local community needs—particularly those of young people accessing OSHC—are met and that these individuals are meaningfully and actively involved in all stages of the research and design process, from conception to implementation, evaluation, and continuous improvement.

Japan ranks 8th out of 177 countries in the Human Development Index which indicates the quality of life. However, Japan ranks 54th out of 93 countries in the Gender empowerment Measure (GEM), which means that Japanese women’s participation in politics and economy is very low. Why is there such a situation? First, it is not easy for women to have a job and do household chores at the same time because men tend to be forced to work for long hours and they do not have much time for household chores and taking care of children. There are also many men who tend to think that women are supposed to do household chores and take care of children. It is necessary to change working conditions of both men and women and also educate people about the importance of equality between men and women at school and communities as well as through media. There are women’s organizations which aim to improve the lives of women and children. It is encouraging that such women have been making great efforts to solve gender issues as well as other issues on peace, human rights, the environment and sustainable development cooperating with women in the world.

AbstractObjectiveTo describe the rationale, development and implementation of the quantitative component of evaluation of a multi-setting, multi-strategy, community-based childhood obesity prevention project (the eat well be active (ewba) Community Programs) and the challenges associated with this process and some potential solutions.Designewba has a quasi-experimental design with intervention and comparison communities. Baseline data were collected in 2006 and post-intervention measures will be taken from a non-matched cohort in 2009. Schoolchildren aged 10–12 years were chosen as one litmus group for evaluation purposes.SettingThirty-nine primary schools in two metropolitan and two rural communities in South Australia.SubjectsA total of 1732 10–12-year-old school students completed a nutrition and/or a physical activity questionnaire and 1637 had anthropometric measures taken; 983 parents, 286 teachers, thirty-six principals, twenty-six canteen and thirteen out-of-school-hours care (OSHC) workers completed Program-specific questionnaires developed for each of these target groups.ResultsThe overall child response rate for the study was 49 %. Sixty-five per cent, 43 %, 90 %, 90 % and 68 % of parent, teachers, principals, canteen and OSHC workers respectively, completed and returned questionnaires. A number of practical, logistical and methodological challenges were experienced when undertaking this data collection.ConclusionsLearnings from the process of quantitative baseline data collection for the ewba Community Programs can provide insights for other researchers planning similar studies with similar methods, particularly those evaluating multi-strategy programmes across multiple settings.

While there are many opportunities for people with disabilities (PWD) in Abu Dhabi (AD), UAE, there hardly been a study of what is required to get such people to meet their full potentials. This study commenced December 2012 and lasted for 4 months. The needs assessment based study tried to answer questions like what is needed to achieve the enhancement of the quality of life of PWD in AD region during and after school/centre times. It also looked at what type of needs (financial, assistive, emotional, and other) those people might have, and what are the needs of the parents of PWD that support the development of their children to reach their full potentials. Adding to that what could be recommended to bridge the gap in such needs. The purpose was mainly to develop a good understanding of the landscape. Benchmarking was undertaken from all private centers and scanning the needs of all parents of PWD in government centers across AD as well. It is hoped that researching the findings would help to develop the services on offer for PWD in the Emirate of AD. In order to achieve the aims of this study, 8 centres were selected out of the total of 17 which is the number of private centres in AD. The selection was based on size, location and type of disability as a purposeful sample to insure fair representation of the centres. The researcher conducted 8 filed visits of centers in Abu Dhabi and Al Ain to assess their current services, operating model etc. Individual briefs were prepared for every center with comparisons across specific factors. Scanning all the needs of all the parents of people with disability in the government centres across Abu Dhabi was looked at differently. To insure validity of the data and because the Emirati people with disability clustered mainly in government centres, all nine government centres under Zayed Higher Organization for Humanitarian Care were visited and sample interviews (qualitative and quantitative) from all centres were undertaken. Selected participants were used to interview and investigate up close (purposeful sampling). Findings showed that there is a desperate need for support after school hours despite the care offered during school hours for those who are in school age. Parents need support on several levels especially with how to spend quality time with their children with disabilities.

Parenting holds tremendous significance in today’s world as quality parenting facilitates the development of social and emotional competence in a child. The present study explores the dual role of domestic workers as workers and parents. Domestic Workers work from dawn to dusk to take care of their employees’ families. The obvious question arises: who takes care of their children, back home? As a parent, Domestic workers with their odd working hours and low or no literacy rate are nowadays trying to overcome the socio-economic challenges as well as handicaps of the profession by getting involved in their children’s academics. This paper investigates the effects of the length of working hours and education levels of domestic worker parents on their academic involvement with the children. The present study uses a descriptive survey research design to find out the relationship between academic involvement and work hours. The data was subjected to appropriate descriptive and inferential statistics. The results indicate a negative relationship between work hours and academicinvolvement. It is also revealed that higher education level to be associated with better academic involvement. The study thus calls for further intervention by schools and the government to motivate parents. Parent-teacher meetings may be of help in this respect along with workshops and government-sponsored programs to educate the parents to support them to climb up the socio-economic ladder through their children.

ObjectivesStudent assistantships are recommended to prepare medical graduates for clinical practice. Traditionally, assistantships have consisted of longer placements, often up to 15 weeks. However, within the constraints of the final year, medical schools need to carefully balance the time required for specialty placements, assessments and the risk of student burnout. We set out to evaluate the effectiveness of shorter, personalised student assistantships.DesignAn evaluative study on the changes in final year student confidence in preparedness for practice after a 3-week assistantship with defined learning objectives and learning needs assessment.SettingEight hospitals affiliated with Imperial College School of Medicine.OutcomesStudent confidence in 10 learning outcomes including organising ward rounds, documentation, communication with colleagues, communication with patients and relatives, patient handover, practical procedures, patient management, acute care, prioritisation and out-of-hours clinical work.ResultsTwo hundred and twenty final year medical students took part in the student assistantship, of whom 208 completed both the pre-assistantship and post-assistantship confidence rating questionnaires (95% completion rate). After the assistantship, 169 (81%) students expressed increased confidence levels in one or more learning objectives. For each individual learning objective, there was a significant change in the proportion of students who agreed or strongly agreed after the assistantship (p<0.0001).ConclusionOverall, the focused 3-week, personalised student assistantships led to significant improvement across all learning objectives related to preparedness for practice. The use of the pre-assistantship confidence rating questionnaire allowed students to identify and target areas of learning needs during their assistantship.

"Compassionate and respectful maternity care for mothers who gave birth in public health facilities in North Gondar, Ethiopia: a cross-sectional study." African Journal of Midwifery and Women's Health 16, no. 3 (July 2, 2022): 1–14. http://dx.doi.org/10.12968/ajmw.2021.0026.
Full textAbstract:
Background Improving the prevalence of compassionate and respectful maternity care is a critical agenda and an important component of healthcare provider quality assurance. Making compassionate and respectful maternity care available is an important way to increase facility-based childbirth use in Ethiopia. However, evidence on compassionate and respectful maternal care during labour delivery services is limited. Therefore, this study aimed to assess compassionate and respectful maternity care, and its predictors, among those who gave birth in health facilities in North Gondar. Methods An institution-based cross-sectional study was conducted from May to July 2020 in a public health facility in North Gondar, Ethiopia. Systematic random sampling was used to select 398 study participants. Data were collected from participants using a pretested structured questionnaire. Bivariate and multivariate logistic regression model analyses with 95% confidence intervals were carried out to identify predictors of compassionate and respectful maternity care. Results A total of 398 respondents participated in the study. The overall prevalence of compassionate, respectful maternal care was 52.5%. Having primary school level education (adjusted odds ratio: 1.96), having attended antenatal care (adjusted odds ratio: 2.92), labour lasting for less than 6 hours (adjusted odds ratio: 2.22), and the intention to give birth in a health facility (adjusted odds ratio: 3.06) were significant predictors of compassionate and respectful maternity care. Conclusions The prevalence of compassionate and respectful maternity care was low and violations of women's rights are an important barrier to women seeking to give birth in a health facility. Hence, to promote high-quality maternal health services, health professionals must practice women-friendly approaches to improve the relationship between health workers and mothers during their stay at health facilities. Enforcing respectful maternity care is vital to strengthen maternal services and improve the rate of institution-based birth.

Full textAbstract:
Historically there have been three strands of policy concerning provision for young children. Nursery education has traditionally been provided for three and four-year-olds as a free, part-time, school based service provided by qualified teachers, and is regulated by education legislation. Childcare for working parents is a full-time care service for children 0–5 to cover working hours, provided by nursery nurses or unqualified care staff in a variety of private settings including domestic settings; finding and paying for this service has until now been the responsibility of parents. Childcare is subject to the 1989 Children Act and the regulation is carried out by social services departments. Welfare care for vulnerable children or children in need is provided for young children aged 0–5 referred by social workers to local authority social services or voluntary run day nurseries or family centres, and also regulated under the terms of the Children Act. All these policy strands are now under review by the government.There are a number of local authorities, voluntary organisations and private firms who have attempted to provide nurseries which combine all three strands of nursery education, childcare and welfare for vulnerable children. This article draws on case study research carried out in 1995–97 on five such innovative integrated nurseries. The findings suggest that there are very different kinds of practices with children which go on in nursery education, childcare and welfare settings, and that these practices tend to persist even when the functions of the institution are broadened. The article concludes that a more fundamental analysis of daily practice in nurseries is necessary to underpin any policy changes.

The problems at SMP Negeri 2 Baturraden related to the low environmental care character were overcome by environmental actions by optimizing the learning center consisting of parents, teachers and the community. Stages of School Action Research which include planning, implementation, observation and reflection resulted in significant changes. After optimizing the learning tri-center through environmental action, it resulted in real changes in increasing the caring and cultured character of the environment. Therefore the research hypothesis has been proven. Environmental Action in the form of the BER-6 Movement (Greet, Clap, Shake, Make Friends, Class, Go to School) which was carried out after 30 minutes of class hours was proven to be able to create a clean, beautiful, safe, and comfortable school environment for learning.

Abstract Background Only little is information is available about the needs and preferences regarding care and treatment of people who are going through a psychosis for the first time. A first psychotic episode is often an intense experience, which may not directly be recognized as a mental health problem. Given the unfamiliarity with the available options of care, it probably differs from subsequent psychoses. In order to design first psychosis programs to optimally meet patients preferences, we need to learn the care needs of these usually young people. Furthermore, peoples’ needs during the first psychosis, and the need for care after a psychotic episode have to be explored, in order to be able picking up life again after complete or incomplete remission. Methods Qualitative interviews were conducted with people (n = 20) who are in complete or partial remission after their first psychosis about their personal care needs. Interviews were conducted by an experience expert and a researcher together and lasted between 1 and 3 hours. Interviews were non-structured, but a basic set of 5 topics was used. Results Preliminary results of the interviews conducted so far (n = 14) show that people with a first psychosis have a great need for information about the symptoms they are suffering from. In addition, they believe that medication is an important ‘cornerstone’ to get rid of their symptoms. Furthermore, nearly all participants hope to be able to stop medication in the near future. Admission to a ward is in most cases experienced as frightening. One person indicated that the tranquility during admission was very welcome. At this stage, experience experts are not being reached out to yet, nor is there a clear need for social work in this stage of the disease. During and shortly after their first psychosis, the interviewees especially appreciate the support of family and close friends. Discussion Clear information about a first psychosis was mentioned as the first need. Family and close friends are most appreciated as “auxiliary troops”. Family support is therefore an important contributor in care for patients suffering from psychosis. Medication was appreciated as an important cornerstone, but only to induce remission, not as a mean for maintenance treatment. Admission was by most patients experienced as stressful. Additional research is recommended to further map what information this should be exactly, and how to bring it to the patient and his relatives.

Introduction: The aim of this study was to analyze the epidemioclinical aspects of iatrogenic urological lesions, to describe the anatomical lesions and to establish a link between surgery and these lesions. Materials and methods: Descriptive and retrospective study carried out in the urology department of Sikasso hospital from January 2016 to December 2018. Results: In total, 26 patients suffering from iatrogenic urological lesions secondary to gyneco-obstetric surgery were recruited, ie 2.86% of our activities and 17.74% of female urogenital lesions. Average age: 31, 88 ± 11, 54 years old; Average age at 1st marriage: 15.00 ± 1.87 (12 - 20). Almost all of our patient was out of school, homemaker, in unpaid jobs and 83.33% from rural Sikasso. Seventeen patients (65, 38%) were 1.55 m shorter and of these 25% had not received antennal care. Labor stagnation (mean duration: 47, 22 ± 20, 48 hours) was the main indication with 90.47% of stillbirths. The main complaint (92, 30%) of our patients was leakage of urine, followed by abdominal-lumbar pain and abdominal distension associated with anuria. Urogenital fistulas (91.66%); urinary tract infection (20.83%) and acute renal failure 11.53% were common complications. The most common causal operation (76.91%) was cesarean section, often performed by general practitioners. The bladder was more frequently (65, 40%) affected by these injuries than the ureter (34, 60%). Regarding the surgical approach, an open transvesical fistulorrhaphy in two planes or a vesicoureteric reimplantation was performed. The result was excellent in 88, 46% of cases and bad in 11 and 53%. Conclusions: Iatrogenic urologic complications of gyneco-obstetric surgery were not uncommon. Early diagnosis and appropriate management could improve its prognosis. The preventive measures are based on the promotion of girls' education and socio-economic life, good antennal care and the continuing training of health care providers in charge of managing obstetric

BACKGROUND: Burnout is widely regarded as a syndrome resulting from chronic occupational stress. While physician burnout has been the subject of extensive research, physician wellness has been proposed as an alternative framework for understanding physician distress. OBJECTIVE: The purpose of this qualitative study was to understand the organizational context of faculty wellness within an academic health care system. METHODS: Semi-structured interviews were conducted with 24 chairs of clinical and non-clinical departments in a US university school of medicine. RESULTS: Chairs described several system-level factors perceived to interfere with faculty wellness such as a stricter regulatory environment, the loss of professional autonomy, the up or out promotion system, limitless hours, and the rise of shadow work. While all chairs articulated some degree of responsibility for the wellness of their faculty, some said they lacked the skills or knowledge of resources to fully engage in this role. CONCLUSIONS: Findings from this study are consistent with recent research on physician burnout, which has pivoted from describing burnout as an individual responsibility to including the professional, organizational, and societal factors which likely contribute to physician job satisfaction and well-being. As health care organizations, including academic medical centers, move toward systems-based solutions for physician occupational health, it will be incumbent upon organizational leaders to make administrative decisions favoring physician wellness.

The issue of the involvement of parents in the treatment of children with speech impediments in cooperation with speech therapists at pre-school education institutions is examined in the paper, as the correction of speech cannot be fully effective, if the family is not involved in the process. Parents' insufficient awareness on speech impediment and treatment, undervaluing the importance of speech impediments' early detection and timely actions, incorrect and sometimes harmful beliefs regarding child's speech, shows the necessity to cooperate at all the stages of treatment, provide parental education on the possibilities of children speech development. The author describes the research, carried out at a pre-school education institution, on the parents', whose children have speech impediments, perception of their role and the evaluation of their involvement in the speech impediments' correction, that proves that, estrangement occurs when children, being in specialized twenty-four hour care pre-school groups, do not receive the necessary interaction and overall development stimulating activities with their parents.

Full textAbstract:
Background There is currently no data showing the prevalence of peripheral arterial disease in Nepal, although they have a high incidence of risk factors in their population such as diabetes, hypertension, and high volume of smoke inhalation.
Objective To quantify a gap in medical education curriculum in Nepal as it pertains to medical trainees that have a lack of exposure to peripheral arterial disease (PAD) in a clinical setting as well as improve lecture quality on peripheral arterial disease.
Method A survey was sent out to 615 medical trainees in Nepal with a survey completion rate of 44%. The results indicate that both medical students and intern doctors feel most confident in their ability to diagnose peripheral arterial disease and comfortable ordering a workup for peripheral arterial disease when their education includes both a dedicated lecture and care of a patient.
Result The self-reported ability to diagnose peripheral arterial disease increased in medical students from 21.9% in the lecture only group to 44.4% in the group who had both lecture and cared for a patient. The current curriculum at the Kathmandu University School of Medical Sciences only allows two hours in the medical school to cover all vascular topics and is taught with a traditional PowerPoint method.
Conclusion To improve this area of curriculum, we recommend increasing the allotted time for lectures as well as demonstrate on live patients the evaluation for peripheral arterial disease.

Full textAbstract:
Considerable concern has been expressed about the quality of care provided for mentally handicapped children living in hospitals. Current policies aim to relocate these children in community settings, giving them a lifestyle as near as possible to that in an ordinary home. Studies of mentally handicapped children living in hospital have all shown that the quality of care is poor, but comparative studies of the quality of care provided for mentally handicapped children living at home have not been carried out. This paper reports a comparative observational study of the quality of care provided for profoundly mentally handicapped children living in a long-stay hospital with a match group who live at home. The rate and content of naturally occurring interaction patterns between nursing staff or family members and the children were observed during the hour after arrival home from school. The results show major differences between the two settings in terms of the types of behaviour exhibited by the children, the frequency and nature of attention given to the children and the quality of the interactions between the children and their carers. In all areas the children living at home fair better. The implications of these findings are discussed.

Full textAbstract:
With the current climate of consolidation in academia, maintaining viable discipline-oriented curricula requires concerted effort. In the past 8 years, the horticulture program at Texas Tech reduced the number of degree programs and faculty while it increased the course offerings available and quadrupled the enrollment in horticulture courses. This increase in productivity and program security came about through the efforts of the College and the Department. The designation of the Introductory Horticulture course as a core curriculum lab science elective dramatically raised enrollment. The introduction of horticulture as a minor within the College and across the University resulted in many of the horticulture courses being accessed by students previously not reached. In addition, efforts to create articulation agreements with and actively recruit students from 2- year institutions are beginning to show some success. The greatest future impact appears to be in the creation of mutually beneficial distance education alliances with other 2- and 4-year institutions. Areas of continued concern include balancing faculty teaching and research loads, frequency of upper level course offerings, and identifying large classroom facilities during peek hours. Support facility space utilization, pressing time constraints and “faculty burn-out” are also current problem areas associated with increased faculty productivity levels.

Self-regulated learning is a strategy carried out by students to regulate themselves and achieve optimal learning outcomes. This research aims to improve students' self-regulated learning through learning strategies based on self-regulation. The subject in this study was a 17-year-old high school student. This study used a single-subject experimental research design with a one-group pretest-posttest design. The treatment method given to the subject is based on learning strategies based on self-regulation, consisting of: 1) self-evaluation; 2) goal setting and strategic planning; 3) putting plans into action; and 4) monitoring outcomes. The results showed that there was an increase in the subject's self-regulated learning scale scores from low to moderate levels. Changes can also be seen from an increase in the duration of study hours and in the value of the subject's report card.

Objective: To describe the clinical presentation and feto-maternal outcome of preterm prelabor rupture of the membrane of patients admitted in a tertiary care hospital of Bangladesh.
Methods and Material: This is a cross-sectional observational type study carried out in Rajshahi Medical College Hospital, Rajshahi, Bangladesh during the year 2019 in the Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology. Sixty pregnant women with preterm prelabor rupture of the membrane (gestational age 28 to 37 weeks) were included in this study.
Results: The mean age of the women was 27.03±6.13 years. Forty (66.7%) of them were from rural area. Majority were studied up to primary school (33.30%). Sixty five percent were house wife. Thirty seven (61.7%) women were multi gravid. Mean gestational age of the patient was 34.43±2.75 weeks. Antenatal care of the women was low. Most of the women have associated one or more diseases like anemia (35%), Urinary tract infection (28.33%), Pregnancy induced hypertension (20%), Lower genital infection (13.33 %,), gestational diabetes mellitus (10%) and heart disease (3.33%). The mean time interval between membrane rupture and delivery was 29±9 hours. Thirty one patients (51.7%) were delivered by caesarian section. Twenty eight (46.7%) women did not experience any complication and other suffered from wound infection (20%), PPH (10%), puerperal sepsis (8.33%) and chorioamnionitis (11.7%). Mean birth weight of the newborns was 2.16±0.42 Kg. Thirty eight (63.33%) newborn suffered from complications like neonatal asphyxia (30%), respiratory distress syndrome (13.3%), neonatal jaundice (11.7%) and neonatal sepsis (3.3%). Neonatal death was noticed in three (5%) cases. Fetal outcome was found significantly (p< 0.001) associated with low gestational age.
Conclusion: Women with low education, associated co-morbidity, long latency and neonate with low birth weight have unfavorable outcome. Antenatal care is an important tool to prevent preterm prelabor rupture of the membrane by identifying the risk factors and its management. Optimum obstetric and medical care is essential for the reduction of these devastating complications.

Background: COVID-19 is a novel coronavirus leading to rampant spread and pandemic ongoing since March 2020. Scientists/researchers and professionals from health-care related disciplines started tremendous efforts for early rollout of the vaccine and vaccines started coming out by the end of the year 2020. India rolled out two vaccines developed in India itself on January 6 and started the world biggest vaccination drive for nearly 2 lakh frontline healthcare and sanitary workers, on January 16, 2021. Because COVID-19 vaccines are novel vaccines, information on risk of rare serious vaccine reactions are limited. Aims and Objectives: The aim of the study was to assess the adverse drug reactions following immunization with Covishield Vaccine. Materials and Methods: The present study is an observational follow-up study to asses any adverse events following immunization (AEFI) occurrence within 7 days of vaccination among all eligible participants who were vaccinated under the field practice area of Rural Health Training Center, Al-Falah School of Medical Sciences and Research Center, Faridabad (Haryana). Results: The overall incidence of any AEFI within 7 days was found to be 136/1000 vaccinations for the first dose. Out of total 97 recipients reported with adverse events, 76.3% had AEFI within 24 h with fever as the most common symptom reported. The incidence of AEFI’s was found to be associated with gender (P<0.02) and age group (P<0.05) and occupation (P<0.05). Conclusion: Most of the adverse events were short-lived and observed in the first 24 hours of vaccination. Incidence decreased in subsequent days and no serious AEFI was reported.

Full textAbstract:
In 1985 the then Minister for Community Services (Victoria), the Hon. Caroline Hogg, announced a change of policy in relation to preschool services in Victoria; all children were to have a year of "kindergarten type experiences" in the year before school, and existing playgroups for two year olds were to be phased out, while two years of kindergarten for some children was to become the exception. This policy came about for two reasons; firstly, as a way of implementing the Cain Labor Government's policy of social justice and equity, and secondly as an attempt to be more financially accountable. While both these objectives, in hindsight, may have a somewhat hollow ring today, they brought great changes to the preschool programs of Victoria which had been established nearly a century before by voluntary organisations in response to inner city poverty and need. It meant that an effort would be made to ensure that children in isolated and/or rural pockets of Victoria were to be included in the sessional kindergarten program and that the traditional "four sessions of two and a half hours per week at a place called a kindergarten" might not be seen to be appropriate in terms of travelling distance involved for parents or children, or affordable in terms of the best use of a rapidly declining budget.

Full textAbstract:
Abstract Introduction Our Burn Center provides care to persons living in southeast area of our State. Patients residing in this area sometimes have low socioeconomic status (SES), and are often unable to return to burn clinic for continued care due to transportation barriers. Typically driving distance is over 80 miles involving ferry access, taking two or more hours each way. The aim of this quality improvement project was to examine the feasibility of a free transportation program for low SES patients who have barriers to transportation. Methods Our first step was to assess transportation needs. We started with a patient survey in clinic to determine if patients would be interested in free transportation and if the service would increase access to care. Survey with six questions was used to assess needs. Results We surveyed ten patients during burn clinic to determine if transportation would increase access to care. Nine patients responded positively and found transportation would be beneficial. One responded that he would not use it as he would use clinic appointment as opportunity to vacation in the area. Funding was secured from our School of Medicine. Community transportation providers were contacted and pricing was obtained. Transportation van was contracted with existing vender. Transportation is now available to patients with burn clinic appointments. We hope to expand to other clinics in the hospital in the future. The Transportation program will assist patients with access to care, compliance, decrease non-emergent Emergency Department visits and 30-day readmissions. Conclusions Transportation assistance for socioeconomically disadvantaged burn patients to follow up in clinic is needed. Nine out of ten patients surveyed were willing to use free transportation. We obtained funding to start a free transportation program once a month. This project began in October 2019. We have begun a once-a-month transportation assistance service to determine ridership and continued need. Twice monthly assistance may be needed and will be assessed over time. Our goal is ultimately to expand the program to include other clinics. Applicability of Research to Practice Free transportation program can assist patients with access to care, compliance, and decrease non-emergent Emergency Department visits and 30-day readmissions.

Full textAbstract:
Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to investigate Finnish working mothers’ experiences of the effects of non-standard working schedules (NSWS) on family time in two family forms, coupled and lone-parent families. Furthermore the aim is to find out what meanings mothers with NSWS attached to family time paying particular attention to the circumstances in which mothers experienced NSWS positively. Design/methodology/approach – Thematic analysis of 20 semi-structured interviews was used to investigate mothers’ experiences of the effects of NSWS on family time. Findings – The key factor generating positive experiences was the ability to maintain regularity and togetherness, which was enhanced by specific features of work, such as autonomy and regularity, and successful child care arrangements. Also important were the values mothers associated with family time. The results highlighted the more problematic situation of lone-parent families. Research limitations/implications – The main limitation of this study was the small sample size. Practical implications – The findings show how the parents of small children benefit from the regularity and flexibility in their working hours. Owing to irregular and varying working times, flexible around-the-clock childcare is needed. In Finland, an important question is how to organize the care of small school-aged children. Lone mothers, especially, may need services to help with domestic chores and childcare. Social implications – A non-resident parent can also be an important source of childcare. Therefore policymakers should take into account family type, including consideration of the rights to childcare of non-resident parents. Originality/value – This study adds to the literature by explaining more in depth, through the richness of qualitative data, the circumstances in which mothers experience NSWS positively.
