Abstract:

AbstractTo present an overview of the World Health Organization World Mental Health (WMH) Survey Initiative. The discussion draws on knowledge gleaned from the authors' participation as principals in WMH. WMH has carried out community epidemiological surveys in more than two dozen countries with more than 200,000 completed interviews. Additional surveys are in progress. Clinical reappraisal studies embedded in WMH surveys have been used to develop imputation rules to adjust prevalence estimates for within- and between-country variation in accuracy. WMH interviews include detailed information about sub-threshold manifestations to address the problem of rigid categorical diagnoses not applying equally to all countries. Investigations are now underway of targeted substantive issues. Despite inevitable limitations imposed by existing diagnostic systems and variable expertise in participating countries, WMH has produced an unprecedented amount of high-quality data on the general population cross-national epidemiology of mental disorders. WMH collaborators are in thoughtful and subtle investigations of cross-national variation in validity of diagnostic assessments and a wide range of important substantive topics. Recognizing that WMH is not definitive, finally, insights from this round of surveys are being used to carry out methodological studies aimed at improving the quality of future investigations.

Abstract:

The World Health Organization (WHO) has been implementing the Healthy Marketplace initiative in the market setting of developing countries since 1997. This initiative forms part of the Healthy Cities strategy and is reinforced through the Ottawa Charter for Health Promotion. The WHO Food Safety Division has indicated that every city in the WHO Healthy City program will eventually also have a Healthy Marketplace program. This is despite the absence of any published guidelines for facilitating program implementation, a clearly articulated Healthy Marketplace concept, and a dearth of meaningful program evaluations. This thesis set out to explore the views and experiences of in-country stakeholders involved in a Vietnamese Healthy Marketplace program. It also set out to examine the roles and perceptions of experts engaged in the design and delivery of programs across the developing world. Through an iterative and post-positivist research methodology, this inquiry collected and analysed data from five key sources: documents, detailed questionnaires, semi-structured interviews, and observations and reflections. The findings revealed that various and even conflicting program concepts and aims existed across and within groups, having significant implications for practice. The settings approach was not the dominant approach to health promotion in the Vietnamese market, but rather a 'top-down' topic-based approach dominated as the mechanism for program delivery. Consequently, numerous challenges have been identified for Healthy Marketplace policy and practice. The challenges are prefaced on the adoption of a settings approach, and include the need for : market communities to set their own agendas; the program target audience to be redefined; increased power sharing across stakeholders; the re-education of professionals; the sharing of knowledge; and the adequate resourcing of Healthy Marketplace programs

Abstract:

Introduction: This dissertation investigates the current management of cancer pain with particular emphasis on the World Health Organization analgesic ladder. This was considered necessary because published studies examining the adequacy of cancer pain control have suggested that the efficacy of the WHO ladder may have been overestimated and because the place of morphine as the 1st line opioid at Step III of the ladder has been challenged. The dissertation also investigates whether an alternative approach might be superior and further explores the patient barriers to the use of opioids. Methods: The studies incorporated within this dissertation include an observational pain study examining pain control in 242 patients under the care of specialist palliative care teams, a systematic review and meta-analysis of 4 trials investigating oxycodone in cancerrelated pain, a pilot study for a randomised controlled trial of an experimental 2-step analgesic ladder versus the traditional 3-step approach and a qualitative study exploring patients' views and concerns when offered opioids for the treatment of pain caused by cancer. Results: The observational study showed that pain was not well controlled for the majority (79.3%: C. I. 74.1% to 84.4%); the systematic review showed that there was no difference in efficacy and tolerability between oxycodone and morphine; and the 2-step trial showed that earlier use of Step III opioids within the novel 2-step approach might result in better pain control. However, the qualitative study showed that patients associate morphine and other Step III opioids with death and therefore they reject them as useful means of controlling pain. Conclusion: Morphine and other opioids currently remain our best means of managing pain caused by cancer, but that both professionals and patients require ongoing education, so that we can break down the barriers that still inhibit their use.

Abstract:

Background: Non-Communicable Diseases (NCDs) are a major global public health threat and tobacco use in particular is the leading cause of preventable illness and mortality globally. Furthermore, vulnerable and socially disadvantaged people get sicker and die sooner, especially because they are at higher risk of being exposed to harmful products such as tobacco and have limited access to health services. Tobacco use also has a major impact on the workplace, adversely affecting work productivity and increasing absenteeism. Both the living and work environments, therefore, play an important role in contributing towards the NCD epidemic. Demographics, culture, behaviour change reluctance and health literacy are all factors which exacerbate tobacco prevalence in South Africa. Workplace health promotion, however, is not well established in many workplaces. This study aimed to develop, implement and evaluate the effectiveness of a culturallysensitive and contextually-appropriate collaborative workplace health promotion literacy programme on tobacco use, utilizing tailored health information leaflets and the Rhodes University peer educators support staff, guided by the World Health Organization Workplace Health Promotion Framework. Method: The research was conducted using a participatory action research approach, which involved four phases: Firstly, the Exploratory phase assessed tobacco-related health promotion policies and practices at Rhodes University; and established facilitating and constraining factors related to tobacco use. Secondly, the Educational health promotion phase involved designing and testing a health promotion educational intervention to address tobacco use related challenges, which took the form of culturally sensitive and appropriate health information leaflets to be used as an educational intervention Thirdly, in the Implementation phase health promotion training workshops were conducted with volunteering Rhodes University Peer Educators. Finally, an Evaluation phase involved evaluating the tobacco health promotion programme presented to the Rhodes University Peer Educators through a focus group discussion; and evaluating Peer Educator recall on the tobacco related health information discussed during the training workshops through a post-post intervention questionnaire. Eight semi-structured interviews (SSIs) and seven focus group discussions (FGDs) were conducted with support staff, peer educators and key stakeholders to establish the need for a comprehensive workplace health promotion initiative, and to identify the facilitating and constraining factors to conducting such an initiative on tobacco use at the University. Three health information leaflets (HILs) were developed collaboratively with the Peer Educators following a series of scientific, end-user testing approaches. The HILs were tested for readability, comprehension, actionability and suitability. A four-day health promotion training programme was conducted to improve user friendliness, memory retention and recall of the HILs by the peer educators and to improve tobacco related health literacy aspects. The participants’ memory recall was evaluated using a pre- and post-, and post-post-intervention questionnaire to evaluate knowledge transfer. The study participants were also equipped with the completed HILs to distribute to their peers and to use as reference sources of information when needed in future. Results: The peer educators and institutional management supported the need for a tobacco workplace health promotion intervention. The intervention and evaluation phase of this study proved that health information material developed was readable, actionable, suitable, userfriendly, culturally sensitive and contextually appropriate. The workshops resulted in a significant increase in the participants’ tobacco related health knowledge. Through the adoption of a collaborative approach to the research, the participants felt empowered and ready to be agents of change amongst their peers in the workplace. Recommendations: The collective use of external expert reviewers, end-user testing techniques and validated computer programmes are recommended to improve the validity of health promotion research outcomes. A longitudinal study that focus on behaviour change, specifically, with health evaluation and monitoring aspects could be conducted as the next step to this study.

Abstract:

O Brasil tem experimentado transformações na composição etária e no perfil epidemiológico da população, com alterações relevantes no quadro de morbi-mortalidade. Diante deste contexto, aumenta o interesse dos estudiosos sobre as conseqüências sociais e econômicas das doenças crônicas não transmissíveis e a busca por novos métodos para analisar o perfil dessas doenças e formas de alocar, com eficiência, os recursos em saúde visando à promoção da saúde da população. Os objetivos deste estudo, de delineamento metodológico, foram traduzir, adaptar culturalmente para o Brasil o instrumento Health and Work Performance Questionnaire (HPQ) e avaliar as propriedades psicométricas da versão brasileira em enfermeiros. O HPQ é um instrumento adotado pela Organização Mundial da Saúde que permite a coleta de informações sobre condições crônicas de saúde e avaliar o impacto destas condições no desempenho do trabalho, pela análise do absenteísmo, presenteísmo e a ocorrência de acidentes de trabalho. O processo de adaptação seguiu o Protocolo de Tradução da Organização Mundial da Saúde. Os dados para a avaliação das propriedades psicométricas foram coletados no período de julho a agosto de 2011, em um hospital público e de ensino do interior do Estado de São Paulo, por meio da aplicação da versão adaptada do HPQ, denominada \"Questionário Saúde e Desempenho no Trabalho\" (HPQ Brasil), em 100 enfermeiros.. As propriedades psicométricas analisadas foram: a validade de face e conteúdo (grupo de especialistas), a confiabilidade pelo Alfa de Cronbach e a estabilidade por teste-reteste. O nível de significância adotado foi de 0,05. Os resultados demonstraram que a amostra estudada foi composta por enfermeiros que possuíam as seguintes características; 89% sujeitos do sexo feminino, com média de idade de 33,9 anos, 51% solteiros e 67% com formação de pós graduação. Na avaliação das propriedades psicométricas, a consistência interna da versão adaptada do HPQ, alfa de cronbach foi de 0,94 para a seção A e 0,86 para a seção B do instrumento. Na análise das concordâncias da estabilidade teste-reteste, as concordâncias foram positivas e estastisticamente significantes. Desta forma, a versão adaptada do HPQ mostrou-se valida e confiável na amostra estudada. O HPQ - Brasil poderá ser usado para acompanhar a prevalência de problemas de saúde entre trabalhadores, as taxas de tratamento destes problemas e os seus efeitos no desempenho no trabalho, além de oferecer as instituições de saúde informações fundamentais para o planejamento de programas de melhoria da saúde e da produtividade dos trabalhadores e de redução dos custos com as Doenças Crônicas Não-Trasmissíveis aspectos que denotam a relevância do estudo ora apresentado.
Brazil has undergone a process of transition with changes in age composition and epidemiological profile of its population which has caused a significant impact on morbidity and mortality. In light of that there is a growing interest among experts in social and economic consequences of chronic noncommunicable diseases (NCDs) and new approaches to assess the profile of these diseases and to effectively allocate resources for health promotion. This study aimed to translate into Brazilian Portuguese and culturally adapt the World Health Organization (WHO) Health and Work Performance Questionnaire (HPQ) and evaluate its psychometric properties among Brazilian nurses. The HPQ was developed by the WHO and can measure the impact of chronic illnesses on work performance through the analysis of absenteeism, presenteeism and work-related injuries. The adaptation process followed the WHO Translation Protocol. The psychometric properties of the Brazilian version of the questionnaire (Health and Work Performance Questionnaire, HPQ-Brazil) were evaluated in a sample of 100 nurses from a public teaching hospital in the state of São Paulo, southeastern Brazil, between July and August 2011. The psychometric properties analyzed included face validity and content validity (expert group), reliability by Cronbach\'s alpha, and test-retest stability. A 5% level of significance was set. The study sample comprised nurses with the following characteristics: 89% were female, mean age 33.9 years; 51% were single and 67% had graduate training. The internal consistency of the adapted version of HPQ using Cronbach\'s alpha was 0.94 for the instrument\'s section A and 0.86 for section B. There were statistically significant positive concordances in the analysis of test-retest stability. Thus, the adapted version of the HPQ proved valid and reliable in the sample studied. The HPQ-Brazil can be used to assess the prevalence of health conditions and treatment rates and their impact on work performance among workers. In addition it can provide input for planning strategies to improve worker\'s health and productivity and reduce NCD-related costs.

The goal is to quantify the balance of likes, retweets, and replies, also known as “ratios”, and study their dynamics as proxy for the collective engagement in response to WHO’s communications. Our results demonstrate a higher engagement of the public receiving the information pushed by WHO. This engagement translates into a more balanced reaction with still a more likely favorable opinion vis-à-vis WHO, but with also more challenges. This protocol based on quantitative measures to serve as a proxy to the legitimacy concept seems to hold its promises. In particular, we also perform a simple sentiment analysis to check the robustness of our conclusions.

Herrera, Cristian, and Andy Oxman. Does integration of primary healthcare services improve healthcare delivery and outcomes? SUPPORT, 2017. http://dx.doi.org/10.30846/170411.

Abstract:

Primary healthcare in many low- and middle-income countries is organised through vertical programmes for specific health problems such as tuberculosis control or childhood immunisation. Vertical programmes can help deliver particular technologies or services, but may lead to service duplication and fragmentation. To address such problems, the World Health Organization and other organizations promote integration, where inputs, delivery, management and organization of particular service functions are brought together. Integration may involve adding a service to an existing vertical programme or full integration of services within routine healthcare delivery.

Abstract:

The International Health Regulations (2005) are legally binding on 196 States Parties, Including all WHO Member States. The IHR aims to keep the world informed about public health risks, through committing all signatories to cooperate together in combating any future “illness or medical condition, irrespective of origin or source, that presents or could present significant harm to humans.” Under IHR, countries agreed to strengthen their public health capacities and notify the WHO of any such illness in their populations. The WHO would be the centralized body for all countries facing a health threat, with the power to declare a “public health emergency of international concern,” issue recommendations, and work with countries to tackle a crisis. Although, with the sudden and rapid spread of COVID-19 in the world, many countries varied in implementing the WHO guidelines and health recommendations. While some countries followed the WHO guidelines, others imposed travel restrictions against the WHO’s recommendations. Some refused to share their data with the organization. Others banned the export of medical equipment, even in the face of global shortages. The UN Compliance Research group will focus during the current cycle on analyzing the compliance of the WHO member states to the organizations guidelines during the COVID-19 pandemic.
