Abstract:
Interprofessional collaboration (IPC) between nurses and doctors is associated with good outcomes for patients, especially in hospitalizations. Different professional cultures can be a barrier to nurses and doctors in an IPC effective and efficient. Effective IPC is important to ensure patient safety. To analyze how the image of Professional Care Givers is different in implementing IPC at Jambi Special Hospital. The research was cross-sectional, the population were nurses, doctors, pharmacists and nutritionists in Jambi Province Special Hospital 105 samples. Sampling with total sampling. AITCS research instruments that have been modified as needed. Most of the application of IPC to Professional Care Givers in Jambi Province Special Hospital both on the partnership dimension, coordination, shared decision-making is only on the clearest reciprocal differences in the dimension of cooperation which is more than half less good. Conclusion: It is expected that the special hospital of Jambi Province will organize more integrated patient center care, which will have consequences for the implementation of the IPC, especially in terms of perceived cooperation.

Abstract:
I am part of a multi-disciplinary team composed of researchers from Kaiser Permanente, the country's largest staff model Health Maintenance Organization (HMO) and the Los Angeles chapter of the Alzheimer's Disease and Related Disorders Association. This team has designed a demonstration service delivery system to enhance the quality of care given to dementia patients and their care givers. If the demonstration project is successful, it may be expanded throughout the Kaiser system. After completing my Ph.D. in medical anthropology at UCLA, I worked as a consultant at the Rand Corporation then held a post-doctoral fellowship in addictions through the National Institute on Drug Addiction. With this track record, and my experience with both qualitative and quantitative survey methods, I was hired at Kaiser as an internal health care service and organizational researcher. They did not hire me because I was an anthropologist. As an anthropologist, however, I have brought some of the discipline's perspectives to bear on the formative stages of the dementia demonstration project.

Abstract:
Summary: Research on supporting the (in)formal caregiver, in enabling autonomy and empowering of persons with a chronic kidney disorder and creating a bridge between primary care and specialized care in hospital settings. Background: Almost half (48%) of hospital readmissions is due to a lack of continuity of care ,e.g. no discharge conversation, poor communication at discharge, lack of patient education and no patient empowerment, a lack of information flow between the hospital setting and primary care, … Especially vulnerable patients with e.g. low health literacy suffer from a not optimally organized transition from the hospital setting to home. More attention is needed for: patient and informal care giver engagement and education, person-centered support, coordination of the transmural care process in order to deliver continuous and responsible care. Target group: Vulnerable patients with kidney problems in the province of Flemish Brabant (Belgium). Involved and engaged stakeholders: Patients, informal care givers, hospital kidney department (doctors, nurses, physiotherapists, social workers, …), primary care professionals (GPs, nurses, physiotherapists, social workers, …). Intervention: A needs-assessment is performed regarding the continuity of care of vulnerable patients with kidney problems. Patients, informal care givers, primary care as well as hospital professionals are surveyed and interviewed. Results: Preliminary results show the need for optimized transmural care from the patient, informal caregiver and professional perspectives. Continuity of care is mainly lacking regarding its informational and therapeutic dimensions. The minimal or even absent information flow (informational continuity) results in therapeutic differences between the services offered by hospital and primary care professionals (therapeutic continuity). Special attention is needed for patient education and empowerment. Relational continuity between the patient and professionals is more fixed, but professionals often do not have fixed partnerships with each other, both within primary care as well as across the primary and hospital care settings. Lessons for international audience: - A multi-perspective needs-assessment uncovers the, sometimes hidden, needs with regard to continuity of care. - Transmural care is often still quite discontinuous, especially from the perspective of the vulnerable patient, informal care giver and primary care professional. - System-wide change is needed in terms of vision, goals, adapting to local health needs, using people as partners, redefining professional responsibilities and (re)training care professionals, and reconfiguring care delivery. Next steps: The information gathered through the needs-assessment is used to co-develop a continuity-enhancing intervention that optimizes the transmural care process with relevant stakeholders (patients and informal care givers or their representatives, primary care professionals, hospital professionals). The intervention is implemented and evaluated through a patient and professionals questionnaire and interviews.

Abstract:
Closure of large psychiatric hospitals across UK, Europe and the United States has shifted the services for the care of psychiatric patients to general hospitals, community based public and private facilities and social sector organizations. Underpinning the process of deinstitutionalization and the development of community psychiatric services was the ethos of providing seamless, flexible services close to where people lived, led by their needs and with involvement of them and their care givers. In Pakistan, in-patient psychiatric facilities are scarce and community psychiatry is still in its initial stages of development so the burden of care is mostly beared by the families. There is a dearth of formalized training and skill set to work effectively in the community and this is reflected in the lack of exposure of our new generation of mental health professionals who are only trained in managing patients admitted in hospitals. In the light of recent guidelines and WHO recommendations it is imperative that community based psychiatric care be incorporated in the postgraduate psychiatry curriculum. This article describes the principles of training and syllabus. However this can only possible by a proactive collaborative partnership between multiple public and private stake holders.

Abstract:
Chicken farming is a form of agribusiness that is capital intensive. Broiler chicken is one of the farms if it is developed to have good prospects. Businesses in the field of animal husbandry in the form of broiler cultivation can establish partnerships. A partnership is a form of cooperation that applies profit sharing. The broiler cooperation program aims to establish mutually beneficial and reinforcing business cooperation and mutual trust between farmers and the core party (business partners or investors). Qualitative analysis was used in this study with a descriptive qualitative model. The study results indicate that the system is a partnership cooperation system, with farmers as plasma following the policy from its core (the investors). The policy on delivery issues already exists. Marketing has been regulated by the core party so that, in this case, the breeder only takes care of it. Profit sharing in partnership applies to an agreement where the nucleus already gives a benchmark price.

Abstract:
Contemporary practice of psychiatry is witnessing a radicle shift in the care of mentally ill. As compared to the 20th century, we are now moving towards community psychiatry and large mental hospitals and asylums are closing with a shift to manage these patients closer to their homes. Following these changes in mental health care, current literature provides growing evidence for developing partnership with patients, carers and family members in the delivery of mental health services. While this approach is appreciated for improving the quality of life of patients, there has also been some concerns about increasing burden of carers and families when they have limited resources and support to face the challenges in dealing with the management of their patients.1 Treatment and management of mental health problems are complex and needs a wider recognition for having patients and care-givers involvement in the treatment processes. Patients with mental health problems unfortunately suffer from a wide range of psychosocial adversities and require engagement leading to more empowerment in decision making processes. Furthermore, quality of health services can be measured by the experiences of patients and their families. Their viewpoints can reflect their happiness as well as the effectiveness of the services that could be based on their knowledge and understanding of their role in the treatment processes. However, in many societies, the nature and role of families are either undermined or not fully understood.2 Families may be considered as a cause for the onset of mental health issues and can be blamed for causing or triggering the illnesses. Similarly, the clinicians are given the full authority to decide about the treatment choices and preferred possibilities. Their role may be acknowledged as “the ultimate expert” who can decide in a final way and patients or families may have limited opinions in such decisions. Professionals may also consider confidentiality issues as a primary reason for not sharing information and taking relatives or family members on board, so they are frequently excluded from the decision-making processes. Apart from confidentiality reasons, clinicians may not have sufficient training and skills to deal with families and patients in terms of supporting and dealing with their concerns.3 Continued...

Abstract:
Abstract Inequities in dementia care require an in depth understanding of dementia care partner life experiences, care needs, sources of support and ways to improve those experiences at the community level. In partnership with Black Churches in Baltimore, MD and rural Pennsylvania, we facilitated three focus groups (n=30) with Black dementia care partners to understand: 1) unique dementia care-related needs and challenges, and 2) how the church can be a supportive care partner. Participants noted three overarching themes related to challenges and needs: 1) unique challenges in caregiving - assuming various roles to provide comprehensive care, working within policies of support services, environmental challenges (neighborhood safety), and family conflicts; 2) lack of dementia education and educational materials; and 3) unmet needs of the care recipient – lack of dementia friendly neighborhoods, lack of meaningful activities, and undiagnosed dementia. Regarding the supportive role of the church, the theme of perceived role of the church included providing emotional and social support for care partners and recipients, reducing burden through providing respite, support groups, networking/ connections to resources, and promoting health events.

Abstract:
Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to consider the effectiveness of partnership working in public health and draws on a systematic review of public health partnerships and original research conducted by the authors. It then considers in the light of research evidence whether the recently established Health and Wellbeing Boards (HWBs) under the 2012 Health and Social Care Act will help agencies to work together more effectively to improve population health or will go the way of previous initiatives and fall short of their original promise. Design/methodology/approach – The paper is based on a systematic literature review conducted by the authors and empirical research focusing upon the ability of public health partnerships to reduce health inequalities and improve population health outcomes. It also draws on recent studies evaluating HWBs. Findings – The paper finds that, hitherto, public health partnerships have had limited impact on improving population health and reducing health inequalities and that there is a danger that HWBs will follow the same path-dependent manner of previous partnership initiatives with limited impact in improving population health outcomes and reducing health inequalities. Research limitations/implications – The research draws on a systematic literature review and further scoping review of public health partnerships, in addition to empirical research conducted by the authors. It also reviews the current evidence base on HWBs. It is recognised that HWBs are in their early stages and have not as yet had the time to fulfil their role in service collaboration and integration. Practical implications – The paper gives an overview of how and why public health partnerships in the past have not lived up to the expectations placed upon them. It then offers practical steps that HWBs need to take to take to ensure the mistakes of the past are not replicated in the future. Social implications – The research outlines how public health partnerships can operate in a more effective manner, to ensure a more seamless provision for service users. The paper then gives pointers as to how this can benefit HWBs and the wider community they serve. Originality/value – The paper draws on a comprehensive research study of the effectiveness of public health partnerships on improving health outcomes and a systematic literature review. In addition, it also draws upon the current evidence base evaluating HWBs, to inform the discussion on their future prospects, in regard to partnership working in public health and promoting service integration.

ABSTRAKLansia merupakan kelompok khusus yang rentan dan berisiko mengalami berbagai permasalahan terkait kesehatan mereka. Di LKS-LU Pangesti Lawang 21 lansia pernah terpapar Virus Covid 19, sehingga sangat diperlukan perhatian khusus terhadap kesehatan lansia, terutama dalam upaya mempertahankan imunitas, misalnya melalui asupan nutrisi adekuat. Indikator nutrisi adekuat dapat diketahui melalui skrining menggunakan the Mini Nutritional Assessment (MNA). Tujuan kegiatan Program kemitraan Masyarakat (PkM) ini adalah melatih dan meningkatkan keterampilan care giver lansia melakukan skrining status gizi menggunakan the Mini Nutritional Assessment (MNA). Kegiatan ini dilakukan 3 tahap yang meliputi tahapan persiapan yaitu melakukan perijinan dan menyusun pelaksanaan. Tahap kedua pemberian edukasi dan pelatihan cara melakukan skrining status gizi menggunakan the Mini Nutritional Assessment (MNA), kegiatan demonstrasi & redemonstrasi skrining status gizi menggunakan MNA. Tahap ke tiga evaluasi kegiatan yang meliputi evaluasi kemampuan caregiver dengan post tes. Kegiatan ini telah terlaksana selama bulan Mei - Juni 2022, dan diikuti oleh 14 caregiver. Hasil kegiatan pengabdian ini pada awal pre tes nilai rata-rata peserta adalah 80 sedangkan nilai pos tes rata-rata peserta meningkat menjadi 94. Hal ini menunjukkan terjadi peningkatan pengetahuan peserta pelatihan terhadap materi pelatihan yang diberikan selama tiga hari. Hasil observasi yang dicapai dalam redemonstrasi semua peserta atau 100 % mampu melakukan skrining dengan benar. Kegiatan skrining status gizi menggunakan the Mini Nutritional Assessment (MNA) diharapkan nantinya dapat diterapkan oleh semua care giver lansia secara mandiri di LKS-LU Pangesti Lawang. Kata kunci: caregiver; skrining; status gizi; lansia; Mini Nutritional Assessment (MNA) ABSTRACTThe elderly are a special group that is vulnerable and at risk of experiencing various problems related to their health. In LKS-LU Pangesti Lawang, 21 elderly people have been exposed to the Covid 19 virus, so special attention is needed to the health of the elderly, especially in an effort to maintain immunity, for example through adequate nutritional intake. Indicators of adequate nutrition can be identified through screening using the Mini Nutritional Assessment (MNA). The purpose of this Community Partnership Program (PkM) activity is to train and improve the skills of elderly care givers in screening nutritional status using the Mini Nutritional Assessment (MNA). This activity is carried out in 3 stages which include the preparation stage, namely licensing and compiling implementation. The second stage is providing education and training on how to screen for nutritional status using the Mini Nutritional Assessment (MNA), demonstration activities & redemonstrations of nutritional status screening using MNA. The third stage is the evaluation of activities which includes evaluating the caregiver's ability with a post test. This activity has been carried out during May - June 2022, and was attended by 14 caregivers. The results of this service activity at the beginning of the pre-test the average score of the participants was 80 while the average post-test score of the participants increased to 94. This indicates an increase in the knowledge of the trainees on the training materials provided for three days. The results of the observations achieved in the redemonstration of all participants or 100% were able to do the screening correctly. The nutritional status screening activity using the Mini Nutritional Assessment (MNA) is expected to be implemented by all elderly care givers independently at LKS-LU Pangesti Lawang.

Abstract:
Au travers d’une recherche ethnographique menée dans deux unités (éveil de coma et unité dédiée), la thèse interroge la construction de la trajectoire de handicap des patients en état végétatif chronique ou pauci relationnel. Ces deux états de conscience altérée, entraînent un handicap extrême et une dépendance quasiment totale rendant impossible la participation pleine et entière du patient à sa prise en charge. A la fois présent et absent, ce dernier voit sa trajectoire de handicap se construire au travers d’un partenariat fragile entre les professionnels de santé d’un côté, et les familles de l’autre. Le travail de thèse a permis d’identifier les différentes unités de prise en charge comme des moments-clés de la trajectoire de handicap où se nouent et se dénouent des relations entre professionnels et familles oscillant entre conflits, partenariat, tensions et partages. La peur omniprésente en réanimation laisse sa place à l’incertitude et l’espoir, marqueurs du passage en unité d’éveil de coma, puis à l’inscription dans le handicap et le temps long représentatif de l’unité dédiée qui devient le lieu de vie. Ces passages modifient ainsi ces relations, et de fait, le déroulement de la trajectoire de handicap. Ce sont, en effet, les deux unités, les relations qui s’y déploient, les « esprits de soin » qui y sont mobilisés et les savoirs qui se partagent ou s’affrontent qui sont analysés pour tracer les contours de cette trajectoire de handicap. Dans une démarche interactionniste et ethnographique, la thèse rend ainsi compte des différents enjeux de cette prise en charge que l’on peut définir, à plusieurs niveaux, de particulière
Through an ethnographic research, conducted in two medical units (awakening and dedicated unit), this thesis investigates the construction of the handicap trajectory of patients in a chronic vegetative state or in a minimal conscious state. These two states, of altered consciousness, create an extreme handicap and an almost full reliance, making a full and whole participation of the patient to their medical care, impossible. Being both present and absent, the latter, observes his handicap trajectory being built via a fragile partnership between the family and the medical care givers. The research conducted during his thesis, allowed to identify the different medical care units involved, and as well key moments of the handicap trajectory: the relationship between the family and the care givers where they create and unwind bonds, oscillating between conflicts, partnership, tensions and sharing. The omnipresent fear in intensive care unit, is replaced by uncertainty and hope, which are markers of the transfer to the awakening coma unit. The passage to dedicated unit marks the beginning of the disability identity. This transfer, changes the inter-relationships and the evolution of the handicap trajectory. These two medical units (awakening and dedicated unit), their relationships, the deployed “spirit of the given care”, their knowledge which can be contradictory or shared, is analyzed in this these, in order to trace the outlines of this handicap trajectory. Via an interactionist and ethnographic research approach, this thesis examines the various issues involved in this type of care, which can be defined as particular on several levels

Abstract:
This thesis is concerned with children as familial caregivers. To date 'young carers' have received limited attention from researchers, and the current body of literature has mainly developed from the social welfare field. This is in contrast to a vast body of research, which has established the psychological impact of care giving on adults. The first paper critically reviews the concept and research on 'parentification'. This is a systemic/dynamic perspective on the psychological and developmental implications of children's involvement in caring roles. It has been submitted to the Journal of Clinical Child Psychology and Psychiatry (see Appendix A for instructions to authors for all papers). The brief paper is a qualitative study employing focus groups and individual interviews to consider the views of twenty young carers. The aim was to gain an insight into their perceptions of the caring experience and to provide data which might be helpful in developing a measure of 'young carer stress' to be used in the main study. This paper has been prepared for the journal 'Qualitative Health Research'. The main research focused upon the application of a stress- coping model to a study of 108 adolescent young carers. It was found that those children who felt devalued in their caring role, overloaded, and used avoidant coping styles to manage their stress were most at risk of suffering from psychological distress. The results are considered in the context of the adolescent stress-coping literature and implications for prevention and intervention are discussed. Papers are prepared in accordance with the instructions to authors, although small changes to the formatting have been made to ensure consistency across all the papers. The whole thesis is less than 20,000 words (excluding references, and tables).

Abstract:

PURPOSE: To determine the prevalence of disability in Peru, explore dependency on caregiver's assistance and assess access to rehabilitation care. METHOD: Data from Disability National Survey (ENEDIS), including urban and rural areas, were analyzed. Disability was defined as a permanent limitation on movement, vision, communication, hearing, learning/remembering or social relationships. Dependency was defined as the self-reported need for a caregiver to help with daily activities; and access to rehabilitation care was defined as the self-report of any therapy for disabilities. Estimates and projections were calculated using sample strata, primary sampling units and population weights, and prevalence ratios (PRs) and 95%CI were reported. RESULTS: From 798 308 people screened, 37 524 (5.1%; 95%CI 4.9--5.2%) had at least one disability. A total of 37 117 were included in further analysis, mean age 57.8 (SD ± 24.1) years, 52.1% women. Dependency was self-reported by 14 980 (40.5%; 95%CI: 39.2-41.9%) individuals with disabilities. A family member, usually female, was identified as a caregiver in 94.3% (95%CI: 93.3-95.3%) of dependent participants. Only 2881 (10.7%; 95%CI: 9.7-11.9%) of people with disabilities reported access to rehabilitation care. Major inequality patterns of disability burden versus access to rehabilitation care were observed by age and education level. Older age groups had higher disability burden yet lower chances of access to rehabilitation care. Conversely, the higher the education level, the lesser the overall disability burden but also the higher chances of reporting receiving care. Private healthcare insurance doubled the probability of having access to rehabilitation compared with those without insurance. CONCLUSIONS: Approximately 1.6 million Peruvians have at least one disability, and 40% of them require assistance with daily activities. Informal caregiving, likely female and relative-provided, is highly common. Rehabilitation care access is low and inequitable. Our results signal a major need to implement strategies to guarantee the highest standard of health care for people with disabilities. Implications for Rehabilitation Major inequality patterns in terms of burden of disability versus access to rehabilitation care were observed: those groups who concentrate more disability reported receiving less rehabilitation care. Caregiving is mostly informal and provided by a direct relative, mainly a woman, who resigned to their usual activities in order to help care for the person with disability. As a result, there is a need to develop appropriate support and training for caregivers. Access to care services in Peru is low and inequitable, but especially for people with disabilities: they experience greater barriers when accessing healthcare services even in the case of having health insurance.

Abstract:
Chronic kidney disease (CKD) in children has become a public health problem in Ghana. The researcher observed that the primary care givers of these children present them late for medical care. This ignited the researcher to conduct this study to identify factors that contribute to primary care givers' delay in seeking early medical care for children with CKD. The purpose of the study was to explore and describe the factors that contribute to primary care givers' delay in presenting children who suffer from CKD for medical care in Ghana. A descriptive qualitative design was used to answer the research question: What factors contribute to primary care givers' delay in presenting children with CKD for medical care in Ghana? Convenience sampling was used to recruit ten primary care givers of children admitted for CKD at the Paediatric Renal Unit of Komfo Anokye Teaching Hospital in Kumasi, Ghana, to participate in the study. Semi-structured interviews and field notes were used to collect data. The thematic data analysis approach of Colaizzi (1978) was used, and the ecological model of Schneider (2017) assisted in organising themes and subthemes. The themes which emerged are: intrapersonal-related factors contributing to delay; interpersonal-related factors contributing to delay; community-related factors contributing to delay; and political-related factors contributing to delay. These were directly related to the research question. A fifth theme which emerged serendipitously is the perceived need for community awareness about CKD. The findings revealed that intrapersonal, interpersonal, community and political level factors influence primary care givers' decisions in seeking medical care for their children. At intrapersonal level factors that played a role were personal attitudes and beliefs; primary care givers' beliefs in traditional medicine as a cure for CKD; their lack of knowledge on CKD and its management; primary care givers' financial constraints; and their beliefs in ancestral spiritual powers for healing. At interpersonal level factors included primary care givers' lack of family support and marital conflicts. At community level factors included primary care givers' delayed referral from the local health facility; incorrect advice received from family and neighbours on management; mismanagement of the disease at the local health facility; and misdiagnosis by neighbours. At political level the distance of the primary care givers' homes from the hospital can contribute to delays. One of the recommendations of the study is development and implementation of a national referral policy for CKD patients to guide health practitioners at the districts. Early referral for appropriate treatment of children with CKD can slow progression of the disease and prevent early mortality. Awareness campaigns need to be developed and implemented by the Ghana Kidney Association to provide health educational programmes for health professionals and communities. Further research using a larger sample or quantitative research methods is also recommended, to gain a better understanding of the factors contributing to delays in presentation of children with CKD in Ghana.

Abstract:
AbstractIn this chapter, three models that try to explain the collaborative relations between parents and ECEC teachers are analysed. McAllister Swap models discuss interactions between parents and professionals based on beliefs, expectations, and involvement strategies. Epstein’s Six Types of Parental Involvement are considered through the prism of involvement as a potentially passive position. It is questioned whether in this model the parents are involved by someone, or they have the option of choosing to participate, or not. Hornby’s model of parental participation is considered in relation to parental strengths and parental contribution. Parents are approached as separate individuals who have the option of choosing (not)participating. Given that both models see parents as part of governing bodies, the chapter provides an account of the involvement/participation of parents as decision-makers in ECEC in different countries.

Abstract:
In recent years there has been a significant growth in online learning and the delivery of joint programmes of education involving collaborative partnerships between higher education institutions in different jurisdictions. This paper details a case-study of the pilot delivery and assessment of a new online learning programme ‘Certificate in the Management of Work-Related Stress’. This programme was developed as part of an innovative partnership between four European Higher Education Institutions (HEIs) located in Austria, Ireland, Switzerland and the United Kingdom to develop and deliver an accredited online learning programme, as part of a wider EU funded project called DELAROSE, on the management of work-related stress for workers in the health and social care sector across Europe. It describes the nature of the online course, with particular attention given to, the assessment activities undertaken by learners throughout the course, and the collection and analysis of learner feedback as this relates to feasibility and impact of the programme of learning. This case-study highlights the positive benefits to learners of embedding course content and assessment experiences within a real-life workplace context

Abstract:
Information Communication Technology (ICT) has revolutionized the world communication order. People can be informed in more effective, efficient and convenient ways. Access to media has percolated to the grassroots. In spite of all such remarkable developments, whether ICT facilitates Science communication is a billion dollar question. Though information is freely and widely available by virtue of ICT, yet, there are areas where Science communication through ICT still needs to be developed to deliver critical information to the needy. Objectives: The objectives of the study are to find out: whether patients and care givers have perception of their information needs? What sources of information they usually consult? What type of channels/media they possess to access the information? What sources the patients and care givers prefer to consult? Whether in the opinion of the patients and their care givers, the ICTs are effective in delivering the critical information. Methodology: An exploratory survey was conducted. A semi-structured interview was employed to collect data from a group of 188 patients and care givers in the hospitals and clinics in Hyderabad (India). Results and conclusion: The study determined the patients’ and care givers’ preferences for technologies in keeping informed. It also brought to light the limitations and usefulness of ICTs in Science communication in general and medical information in particular.

Abstract:
In the literature concerning national cancer control programmes and cancer care in general, the terms governance and/or stewardship in/of cancer care are frequently used. However, the terms are not defined or explained. In the frame of the project Innovative Partnership for Action Against Cancer (iPAAC JA) a systematic literature review in order to find the definitions of the terms governance and stewardship in/of cancer care was performed. In case of unsuccessful finds creation of new definitions of the mentioned terms was planned. We performed a literature review using Google, Pub Med, and MeSH and an opportunistic search for chapters from books, extra articles and grey literature. The analysed articles did not give definitions or exact explanations of the terms governance/stewardship in/of cancer care. In some of them older articles, published before the year 2000 were cited. However, the terms in older articles were used in the completely other fileds, mostly economy, banking, spirituality, religion or in the field of clinical governance. The working group of experts from different European institutions and countries collaborating in the work package Governance of integrated and comprehensive cancer care of the iPAAC JA decided to create new definitions, which will be particularly useful in the field of cancer control programmes and will facilitate the understanding of the leadership tasks in the demanding area of cancer care as well as cancer control.

Abstract:
To be able to meet the demographical changes and the increasing demand on resources within elder care, new digital tools are needed to an increasing extent. Implementation of new digital services demand both changes in workflow and skills in using the digital services. The feeling of being included in the process and time given for learning and introduction could affect how new digital tools are perceived by the personnel. However, time and resources for learning and support could vary between municipalities, and between units within the same municipality (Sjölinder & Mårtensson, 2021). Though both resources are limited, and it is important how new digital services are introduced to the personnel more in-depth knowledge is needed regarding which aspects that needs to be given the largest focus.With respect to older adults, there exist many assumptions and negative stereotypes regarding aging (Lagacé et al., 2015; McDonough, 2016), and about older adults as users of new digital services (Lagacé, et al, 2016; McDonough, 2016). However, many older adults today have experience from using technology and are in general positive to start to use new digital services, but as in the case with the personnel, the learning context and the time that is provided are important (Broady, 2010; Sjölinder & Mårtensson, 2021). When new digital tools are provided to the older adults by the municipality, the learning context for the older adults might be affected by the care givers time and engagement, which in turn could affect the attitudes that are conveyed to the older users about older adults as users of technology.This paper describes a qualitative study with the aim to get a deeper understanding of opportunities and challenges related to digitalization within municipalities. The focus is on how new digital tools have been implemented in the organizations, and on how it had affected care personnel and older care takers. This, in terms of how and to which extent has implementation of new digital tools changed work-related behavior and attitudes towards technology, and to which extent has it changed attitudes towards older adults as technology users.In the study, municipality managers at different levels where interviewed. They described concrete examples of digitalization based on experiences from within their own organization. Using the examples that were given, the respondents were asked questions about how the technology had been received by the personnel and the older adults; how it had affected the attitudes towards new digital tools among the care giving personnel and older adults; and how it had affected the way the personnel thought about organizational changes and changes in workflow related new digital tools. Finally, the respondents described, based on their own previous insights, the municipalities’ next steps towards digitalization, and how they wanted to use new digital tools to take their organizations further towards the future.

Abstract:
Paper presents the main objectives and the methodology of an educational European Leonardo da Vinci project called "Launching of Sector Skills Alliance for Training & Apprenticeship of Health Care and Food Supplements Salespersons" (H-CARE). The H-CARE project uses advanced e-learning technologies to provide a platform-independent prototype for training and apprenticeship in the area of health care and food supplements. The project focuses on the main items of the management cicle: project planning, team building, transnational cooperation, evaluation, dissemination and exploitation. Following such approach, the project work programme consists of 9 work packages, which are autonomous but strictly linked to each other in order to give continuity to the project process. In order to get maximum benefit from partners' expertise, competencies and specific characteristic, partners will have different activities inside each work package, being, in rotation "core" and "supporter" to the partnership. The project is totally in line with the Lisbon Convention objectives that clearly state education systems must be modernised to make Europe a world leader in the quality of its education & training systems. The H-CARE project provides a totally new approach on how to provide training support, by not only making use of them, but also training of people, seeking professional career in Health sector to become experts and to acquire a completely new qualification "Health care and food supplement salesperson". The current situation of the European labour market requires qualified work force, which is able to respond to the needs of new professions and job profiles, which will create an added value in provisions of services in health sector. In long term period the project will provide a solid base for further development training curriculum for prequalification in the vocational profile in question. Furthermore the universities themselves will be able to straighten their links to the business sector through introduction of innovative training curriculum (the proposed curriculum for "Health care and food supplement salesperson").This will respond to the demand of well qualified staff, eager to contribute to the prosperity of the companies, as soon as they are employed. On the other hand the companies from the Health sector will save a significant amount of money and other resource in order to improve the quality of recently hired personnel. The project is also in line with the Europe 2020 strategy that calls for economic growth based on a smart, sustainable and inclusive model. The project offers exactly new skills for new jobs, providing opportunities for the inclusion of unemployed or low paid people in the EU job market. In European context the project will be sustained by establishment of informal networks, which will bring together sector organizations, interested to introduce, adapt and mainstream the new job core profile in the practices of the companies from the Health Sector.

Abstract:
Situated in a complex region of the world, Puntland State in Somalia is dealing with a range of threats and instabilities such as droughts, floods, locusts, the movement of internally displaced people (IDPs), and armed actors. COVID-19 has added yet another strain on its tremendously fragile infrastructure. The impact of the pandemic has been far reaching, affecting livelihoods and hampering unpaid and underpaid care work and responsibilities. The multitude of crises and rates of inflation have left the majority of families food insecure and without income, halted education and health services, and exacerbated existing vulnerabilities and the incidence of violence. This gender analysis was conducted and funded by the German Federal Foreign Office (GFFO), in partnership with Oxfam in Somalia and KAALO, to better help local government bodies, agencies, NGOs, and INGOs grasp the differentiated impact of the crises on women, men, boys, and girls, and host and IDP communities, during this time of intense loss and instability. The analysis provides an overview of the experiences of the affected communities, and gives recommendations on how to address immediate concerns and plan future programming.

Population Council, 2022. http://dx.doi.org/10.31899/sbsr2022.1036.

Full text
Abstract:
The Global Estimates of Modern Slavery report of 2021 stated that 6.3 million people were in situations of forced commercial sexual exploitation (CSE) on any given day worldwide. Asia and the Pacific region (which includes South Asia) were host to more than half of the global total of forced labor, including those in CSE. Bangladesh is one of the three main countries of origin for trafficked persons in South Asia. India has been identified as a source, destination, and transit location for trafficking of forced labor, including CSE. Though governments in both countries have made commitments to prevent and combat trafficking and CSE of women and children, critical gaps in implementation remain, along with inadequate victim care. The Global Fund to End Modern Slavery in partnership with the Norwegian Agency for Development Cooperation supported pilot-testing of three prevention and reintegration projects to address CSE of women and children in Bangladesh and India. The Population Council undertook a study to assess and compare the acceptability of these projects. Using qualitative methods, the study focused on examining intervention coherence, affective attitude, self-efficacy, and perceived effectiveness of the interventions.

Full text
Abstract:
In this Insight Note, we report results of a phone survey that the RISE Tanzania Research team conducted with 2,240 parents (or alternate primary care-givers) of primary school children following the school closures in Tanzania. After the first case of COVID-19 was confirmed in Tanzania on 16 March 2020, the government ordered all primary schools closed the following day. Schools remained closed until 29 June 2020. Policymakers and other education stakeholders were concerned that the closures would lead to significant learning loss if children did not receive educational support or engagement at home. To help stem learning loss, the government promoted radio, TV, and internet-based learning content to parents of school-age children. The primary aims of the survey were to understand how children and families responded to the school closures, the education related activities they engaged in, and their strategies to send children back to school. The survey also measures households’ engagement with remote learning content over the period of school closures. We supplement the findings of the parent survey with insights from interviews with Ward Education Officers about their activities during the school closures. The survey sample is comprised of primary care-givers (in most cases, parents) of students enrolled in Grades 3 and 4 during the 2020 school year. The survey builds on an existing panel of students assessed in 2019 and 2020 in a nationally representative sample of schools.4 The parent surveys were conducted using Computer Assisted Telephonic Interviewing (CATI) over a two-week period in early September 2020, roughly two months after the re-opening of primary schools. We report the following key findings from this survey: *Almost all (more than 99 percent) of children in our sample were back in school two months after schools re-opened. The vast majority of parents believed it was either safe or extremely safe for their children to return to school. *Only 6 percent of households reported that their children listened to radio lessons during the school closures; and a similar fraction (5.5 percent) tuned into TV lessons over the same period. Less than 1 percent of those surveyed accessed educational programmes on the internet. Households with access to radio or TV reported higher usage. *Approximately 1 in 3 (36 percent) children worked on the family farm during the closures, with most children working either 2 or 3 days a week. Male children were 6.2 percentage points likelier to work on the family farm than female children. *Households have limited access to education materials for their child. While more than 9 out of 10 households have an exercise book, far fewer had access to textbooks (35 percent) or own reading books (31 percent). *One in four parents (24 percent) read a book to their child in the last week.

Full text
Abstract:
Belize is participating in the Salud Mesoamerica 2015 Initiative (SM2015), a regional public-private partnership administered by the Inter-American Development Bank (IADB) and implemented by the eight Mesoamerican countries, which utilizes a results-based financing model with external verification of indicator values. Countries that reach their goals receive a portion of overall funding to apply in the health sector. The Ministry of Health of Belize and IADB have carefully aligned SM2015 country and local level goals through a Quality Innovation Fund (QIF), complemented by technical assistance for collaborative improvement, purchase of inputs and revitalization of the community health platform. Preliminary results from the QIF indicate an increase in coverage and quality of services achieved in as little of six months, through monthly monitoring and small, targeted investments designed by health facility staff. This experience has provided valuable qualitative and quantitative data regarding progress of the program, in addition to important lessons for future operations.

Full text
Abstract:
The Women’s Handicrafts Production Cooperative is a success story that has transformed the lives of its members, who had been finding it hard to obtain employment. They are now focused on creating their own enterprise. Started in 2018, today the cooperative’s membership has expanded tenfold and created employment opportunities by using the principles of social solidarity economy and collective business models. The Youth Participation and Employment (YPE) project in Egypt, developed in partnership with the Better Life Association for Community Development (BLACD), provided technical training to the cooperative in handicrafts production, as well as life skills training, to empower the workers to continue despite all the societal pressure for them to give up. Assistance from BLACD came in when it was needed. Particularly during the COVID-19 crisis, with the tourism market shut down, BLACD has provided crucial technical advice and support, supporting the cooperative to brainstorm and identify several parallel income-generating activities. This case study contains some testimonies from members of the cooperative on how their collective strength was harnessed to create employment and income.

Full text
Abstract:
Ready for Partnership? will help you to create written or visual texts which welcome ākonga Māori. We hope that this tool will give you ways of reflecting on texts as you create them, before you then go on to do further work with kaupapa Māori colleagues. Ready for Partnership? has two sections. Section 1 provides seven lenses which focus on the ways in which we’re using various Māori cultural perspectives when creating texts, and Section 2 presents some annotated examples which show how the tool may be used. Ready for Partnership? is for use in the early stages of creating texts. By using this tool to develop text, we can increase the likelihood that the text will engage a diverse group of Māori students. We will avoid the risk of focusing our texts on any one essentialised or idealised Māori subgroup. This tool will enable us to begin creating a range of texts which in sum are culturally relevant to all children and which reflect the value of mātauranga Māori—to date, this has often not been the case. As creators of texts and users of this tool, we come from a complex array of cultural positions. These cultural positions include: • ages • genders • whakapapa • inherited and learnt cultural knowledges • education backgrounds • physical locations • socioeconomic milieux. We think that this tool will help us all move beyond our own cultural complexities. The users of our texts are similarly complex. We can use the lenses in this tool to focus on welcoming and engaging diverse ākonga Māori, excluding as few as possible, and validating all.

Full text
Abstract:
The integration of different levels of local health systems into Province- or City-wide Health Systems (P/CWHS) in the Philippines is a reform that is designed to help the achievement of a responsive and efficient health system, financial and social risk protection, and better health outcomes. The majority of Universal Health Care Integration Sites (UISs) have already achieved the Key Result Areas (KRAs) for the Preparatory and Organized Levels. Using the case study approach, this study aimed to explore how local government units (LGUs) and other stakeholders have navigated through the transition process given existing policies and frameworks. It looked into the P/CWHS components and the experiences of the provinces of Bataan and South Cotabato in the integration process, and determined enabling and facilitating factors, innovations, and challenges. Enabling and facilitating factors include LGU initiative and appreciation of P/CWHS benefits; partnerships of provinces with national government agencies (NGAs), nongovernmental organizations (NGOs), development agencies, and private sector that provide technical and financial assistance; presence of legal instruments; and optimization of existing monitoring systems. LGUs have also carried out innovative practices such as documenting efforts during the initial stages and engaging development partners and NGOs that increase understanding of P/CWHS, help address challenging KRA and Health Care Provider Network (HCPN) requirements, and generally facilitate transition. Challenges have, nevertheless, been encountered. These obstacles include the limited awareness of the LGU roles and responsibilities, time and resource costs of requirements to fully integrate and transition, piecemeal understanding of P/CWHS and Universal Health Care (UHC) reforms among local leaders, lack of guidance on how the private sector can integrate, lack of technical assistance from the Central Office, and lack of interoperability of datasets from various health information systems of provinces. Given the findings, this study provides the following policy recommendations to scale up the integration efforts: ensure proper communication of accurate information to stakeholders; jumpstart discussions on private sector integration into the HCPN; implement, evaluate, and progressively enhance the financing reforms to be implemented; provide resources to augment LGU funding for transition requirements; and incorporate plans to ensure optimal participation of the population in the P/CWHS.

Abstract:
This report presents the findings of a comprehensive study on abortion and post-abortion care in Pakistan, conducted in 2023 by the Population Council in partnership with the Guttmacher Institute. The study addresses a critical need for updated information on women's reproductive health in Pakistan, a country facing significant challenges including a high population growth rate (2.55% per annum), low contraceptive use (34% for any method, 23.4% for modern methods), and a high unmet need for family planning (17.3%). The study is the third of its kind since 2002, building on previous research conducted in 2002 and 2012. It comes at a crucial time when Pakistan faces economic challenges that may impact access to healthcare services. This study provides critical, timely evidence to inform policies and programs aimed at improving contraceptive and abortion services in public and private health facilities across Pakistan. Its comprehensive approach and expanded scope offer valuable insights into the evolving landscape of reproductive health care in the country. Implementing these recommendations can significantly enhance women's reproductive health outcomes and reduce the burden on the healthcare system, particularly in the context of current economic challenges.
