Abstract:
Background: Health information systems offer many potential benefits for healthcare, including financial benefits and for improving the quality of patient care. The purpose of District Health Information Systems (DHIS) is to document data that are routinely collected in all public health facilities in a country using the system. Objective: The aim of this study was to examine the strengths and operational challenges of DHIS2, with a goal to enable decision makers in different counties to more accurately evaluate the outcomes of introducing DHIS2 into their particular country. Method: A review of the literature combined with the method of meta-synthesis was used to source information and interpret results relating to the strengths and operational challenges of DHIS2. Databases (Embase, PubMed, Scopus and Google Scholar) were searched for documents related to strengths and operational challenges of DHIS2, with no time limit up to 8 April 2017. The review and evaluation of selected studies was conducted in three stages: title, abstract and full text. Each of the selected studies was reviewed carefully and key concepts extracted. These key concepts were divided into two categories of strengths and operational challenges of DHIS2. Then, each category was grouped based on conceptual similarity to achieve the main themes and sub-themes. Content analysis was used to analyse extracted data. Results: Of 766 identified citations, 20 studies from 11 countries were included and analysed in this study. Identified strengths in the DHIS were represented in seven themes (with 21 categories): technical features of software, proper management of data, application flexibility, networking and increasing the satisfaction of stakeholders, development of data management, increasing access to information and economic benefits. Operational challenges were identified and captured in 11 themes (with 18 categories): funds; appropriate communication infrastructure; the need for the existence of appropriate data; political, cultural, social and structural infrastructure; manpower; senior managers; training; using academic potentials; definition and standardising the deployment processes; neglect to application of criteria and clinical guidelines in the use of system; data security; stakeholder communications challenges and the necessity to establish a pilot system. Conclusion: This study highlighted specific strengths in the technical and functional aspects of DHIS2 and also drew attention to particular challenges and concerns. These results provide a sound evidence base for decision makers and policymakers to enable them to make more accurate decisions about whether or not to use the DHIS2 in the health system of their country.

Abstract:
DHIS2 is a web-based platform primarily used in developing countries, ensuring reliable data and aiding decentralized decision-making. The Ministry of Health and Population has greatly emphasized using DHIS2 for data entry and reporting. However, studies regarding health workers’ experiences on DHIS2 and the utilization of data at the local level remain limited. Therefore, this study aims to investigate the usage and practical experience of DHIS2 at the local levels of Gandaki province, Nepal. An exploratory qualitative study was conducted in the Gandaki province from February to August 2023. We conducted twenty in-depth interviews among the DHIS2 users at local levels, health posts, and provincial health directorate using in-depth interview guidelines. The study participants were selected purposively. Thematic analysis was conducted to analyze the data, and NVivo was used to facilitate data analysis. Health professionals demonstrated dedication and commitment to use DHIS2 for reporting. DHIS2 has facilitated timely reporting, data storage, data analysis and visualization, feedback and communication mechanisms, and service delivery. Users’ self-motivation and support from the local and provincial levels and regular review and program-specific review meetings were major facilitators for DHIS2 use. Similarly, technical issues, poor internet connectivity, power outages, and inexperienced health professionals were the significant challenges to using DHIS2. The basic and refresher training needed improvement at all levels, and learning materials were unavailable in health facilities. In addition, the data utilization at the local level in various actions was unsatisfactory despite sufficient data. Health professionals have been facilitated by DHIS2 in various actions. Capacity building of health professionals on data analysis and interpretations, continued onsite coaching, reliable internet connectivity, availability of learning materials, and improved server capacity are needed to enhance the performance of DHIS2 at the local level.

Abstract:
BACKGROUND: The District Health Information System (DHIS2) is a modular, cloud-based data management system designed for use in integrated health information systems. In Nigeria, it serves as the repository for routine health data, including measles. A first dose of measles is given routinely in most countries, however, for a country to include a second dose of measles in the routine immunization schedule, it must meet certain criteria set by the World Health Organization (WHO). Unfortunately, Nigeria falls into the category of countries that haven’t met the criteria. Despite this, MCV2 data can be seen on the DHIS2 platform. Data from DHIS2 also shows that Gombe State has the highest number of health facilities that reported MCV2 data at least once from 2015 to 2017.
 
 The aim of the study was to determine the reasons for the MCV2 reporting on DHIS2 platform for Gombe State. 
 
 METHOD: We conducted a cross-sectional study among health workers in selected health facilities and LGA RI Officers at the LGA level in Gombe State. Health facility registers were reviewed, and data consistency was ascertained. We reviewed and conducted secondary data analysis of MCV2 data for Gombe State from January 2015 to December 2017.
 
 RESULTS: Of the 22 health facilities assessed, 14 health facilities (12 public and 2 private) reported offering MCV2 during the health facility-level interviews. At the LGA level, 5 LGAs out of the 11 LGAs reported during the LGA-level interviews that a second dose of measles is part of the RI schedule in their respective LGAs. For the 6 LGAs that reported not offering a second dose of measles as part of the RI schedule, 3 LGAs identified data entry error as the possible reason for having MCV2 data in the DHSI2 platform while the remaining 3 LGAs reported that the MCV2 data in the DHIS2 platform can be attributed to recording children who didn’t receive a first dose of measles at 9 months but received at 18–23 months as second dose of measles.
 
 CONCLUSION: Data entry error and knowledge gap on how to record measles data were identified factors responsible for MCV2 data on the DHIS2 platform. There is a need for targeted interventions towards improving the quality of RI data in Nigeria.

Abstract:
Background Over the years, Nigeria has used District Vaccine Data Management Tool (DVDMT) for surveillance data collection including routine immunization. In 2012, Nigeria adopted District Health Information Software (DHIS2), a Java driving online real-time tool for data collection. In 2015, Enugu State commenced the use of DHIS2 alongside the traditional DVDMT as surveillance data capturing tools. Objective The objective was to carry out an evaluation of the two surveillance data tools to assess surveillance attributes, interoperability, effect in decision making, and preference of use. Methods We quantitatively and qualitatively assessed surveillance attributes of Enugu State’s DHIS2 and DVDMT from 2015 to 2018 using adapted CDC guidelines (2001). We administered semi-structured questionnaires to all 17 local immunization officers from the 17 local government areas (districts) to assess surveillance attributes. We carried out desk review at all levels, key informants done with 6 purposefully selected stakeholders, and focused group discussion carried out with 6 randomly selected heads of surveillance at local governments areas. We recorded proportions, interoperability, effect in decision making, and preference of use. Results Average completeness of data is 100% in both DHIS2 and DVDMT systems (target 90%). Eligibility is 100% in DHIS2 and 85% in DVDMT (target 80%). Timeliness of reporting is 100% and 80% in DHIS2 and DVDMT, respectively (target 80%). All stakeholders accepted both tools and agreed that they are simple and flexible. In addition to collection of all data recorded by DVDMT, DHIS2 captures vaccine utilization. Data collection and transmission of DVDMT and DHIS2 are carried out by the same surveillance personnel at health facility and local government area levels. Apart from vaccine utilization both tools can complement each other in case of missed data as they record the same thing. All key informants opined that it is double work managing the two tools and also agreed that DHIS2 is better than DVDMT in decision making because it has features for data visualization and real-time reporting. The focused group discussion agreed that both tools are good, although DVDMT is easier to work with as DHIS2 requires computer proficiency of current users alongside hardware management of the Java-enabled phones used in data capture and transmission. However, they also agreed that DHIS2 usage is less time consuming and opined they will prefer to use DHIS2 as the only data capturing tool in Enugu State if proper capacity building is done. Conclusions The DHIS2 and DVDMT surveillance data tools in Enugu State is meeting all its targets based on surveillance attributes, though DHIS2 provides better quality data. There is a good understanding and synergy in operation of the two systems in all levels and intermittently data from both tools can be compared. DHIS2 can enable prompt decision making than DVDMT as data can be assessed and visualized in real time. Surveillance officers prefer the use of DHIS2 as the only surveillance tool in Enugu State, although proficiency is a challenge. We recommended a gradual phase out of DVDMT for data capturing in Enugu State, while capacity building of users for DHIS2 should be addressed.

Abstract:
A number of applications have been used for managing health data and information and tend to be fragmented between health programs in health offices. In consequence, the analysis and interpretation process becomes difficult since the data is scattered in separate sources. One of the solutions offered as an effort to synchronize and integrate health data in Indonesia is through implementing District Health Information Software (DHIS2). DHIS2 is an application that emphasizes data integration at the health office level. Faculty of Medicine, Public Health and Nursing UGM has been partnered with the Special Region of Yogyakarta Health Office to carry out community service activities in the context of utilizing DHIS2 for health data integration in the province. The implementation of DHIS2 was divided into 4 stages, namely workshop on data availability, socialization, and training of DHIS2; data mapping and customizing DHIS2; implementing health data integration; and dissemination, supervision, and evaluation. Six health offices were the target of community service activities in the province. DHIS2 has facilitated health office staff to analyse and visualize health information that is used for decision making and advocacy. This community service activity supports the government’s efforts to provide one-stop data and contributes to strengthening health information systems both nationally and regionally.

Abstract:
Background Changing the culture of information use, which is one of the transformation agendas of the Ministry of Health of Ethiopia, cannot become real unless health care providers are committed to using locally collected data for evidence-based decision making. The commitment of health care providers has paramount influence on district health information system 2 (DHIS2) data utilization for decision making. Evidence is limited on health care providers’ level of commitment to using DHIS2 data in Ethiopia. Therefore, this study aims to fill this evidence gap. Objective This study aimed to assess the levels of commitment of health care providers and the factors influencing their commitment levels in using DHIS2 data for decision making at public health care facilities in the Ilu Aba Bora zone of the Oromia national regional state, Ethiopia in 2020. Methods The cross-sectional quantitative study supplemented by qualitative methods was conducted from February 26, 2020 to April 17, 2020. A total of 264 participants were approached. SPSS version 20 software was used for data entry and analysis. Descriptive and analytical statistics, including bivariable and multivariable analyses, were performed. Thematic analysis was conducted for the qualitative data. Results Of the 264 respondents, 121 (45.8%, 95% CI 40.0%-52.8%) respondents showed high commitment levels to use DHIS2 data. The variables associated with the level of commitment to use DHIS2 data were found to be provision of feedback for DHIS2 data use (adjusted odds ratio [AOR] 1.85, 95% CI 1.02-3.33), regular supervision and managerial support (AOR 2.84, 95% CI 1.50-5.37), information use culture (AOR 1.92, 95% CI 1.03-3.59), motivation to use DHIS2 data (AOR 1.80, 95% CI 1.00-3.25), health needs (AOR 3.96, 95% CI 2.11-7.41), and competency in DHIS2 tasks (AOR 2.41, 95% CI 1.27-4.55). Conclusions In general, less than half of the study participants showed high commitment levels to use DHIS2 data for decision making in health care. Providing regular supportive supervision and feedback and increasing the motivation and competency of the health care providers in performing DHIS2 data tasks will help in promoting their levels of commitment that can result in the cultural transformation of data use for evidence-based decision making in health care.

Abstract:
Background Although Ethiopia has made remarkable progress in the uptake of the District Health Information System version 2 (DHIS2) for national aggregate data reporting, there has been no comprehensive assessment of the maturity level of the system. Objective This study aims to assess the maturity level of DHIS2 implementation in Ethiopia and propose a road map that could guide the progress toward a higher level of maturity. We also aim to assess the current maturity status, implementation gaps, and future directions of DHIS2 implementation in Ethiopia. The assessment focused on digital health system governance, skilled human resources, information and communication technology (ICT) infrastructure, interoperability, and data quality and use. Methods A collaborative assessment was conducted with the engagement of key stakeholders through consultative workshops using the Stages of Continuous Improvement tool to measure maturity levels in 5 core domains, 13 components, and 39 subcomponents. A 5-point scale (1=emerging, 2=repeatable, 3=defined, 4=managed, and 5=optimized) was used to measure the DHIS2 implementation maturity level. Results The national DHIS2 implementation’s maturity level is currently at the defined stage (score=2.81) and planned to move to the manageable stage (score=4.09) by 2025. The domain-wise maturity score indicated that except for ICT infrastructure, which is at the repeatable stage (score=2.14), the remaining 4 domains are at the defined stage (score=3). The development of a standardized and basic DHIS2 process at the national level, the development of a 10-year strategic plan to guide the implementation of digital health systems including DHIS2, and the presence of the required competencies at the facility level to accomplish specific DHIS2-related tasks are the major strength of the Ministry of Health of Ethiopia so far. The lack of workforce competency guidelines to support the implementation of DHIS2; the unavailability of core competencies (knowledge, skills, and abilities) required to accomplish DHIS2 tasks at all levels of the health system; and ICT infrastructures such as communication network and internet connectivity at the district, zonal, and regional levels are the major hindrances to effective DHIS2 implementation in the country. Conclusions On the basis of the Stages of Continuous Improvement maturity model toolkit, the implementation status of DHIS2 in Ethiopia is at the defined stage, with the ICT infrastructure domain being at the lowest stage as compared to the other 4 domains. By 2025, the maturity status is planned to move from the defined stage to the managed stage by improving the identified gaps. Various action points are suggested to address the identified gaps and reach the stated maturity level. The responsible body, necessary resources, and methods of verification required to reach the specified maturity level are also listed.

Abstract:
Background The implementation of DHIS2 in healthcare systems has transformed data management practices worldwide. However, its specific impact on data quality, availability, and performance in Primary Health Unit (PHU) facilities in Ethiopia remains underexplored. Therefore, we investigated the contribution of DHIS2 to enhancing data quality, availability, and performance within PHU facilities in Ethiopia. Methods We employed qualitative methods, specifically Key Informant Interviews (KIIs) and Focus Group Discussions (FGDs), to gather insights from stakeholders, including healthcare providers and administrators at PHCUs across Ethiopia. Convenience sampling was used for FGDs, while purposive sampling targeted key informants with relevant expertise. Data were systematically analysed thematically, identifying patterns and themes related to DHIS2’s impact on data management within PHUs. This approach offered a comprehensive understanding of the system’s effectiveness and the factors influencing its implementation, highlighting both successes and challenges in integrating DHIS2 into healthcare practices. Findings Participants from various regions reported significant enhancements in the timeliness, completeness, accuracy, and accessibility of health data following the implementation of DHIS2. While some concerns were raised regarding variations in reporting intervals, the consensus indicated marked improvements in data management processes. DHIS2 standardized data collection methods, enabling healthcare providers to input and access data in real-time. This advancement fostered greater accountability and transparency within the healthcare system. Additionally, unexpected benefits arose, including increased digital literacy among staff, equipping them with necessary skills for effective data management, and the creation of job opportunities, particularly for youth. Ultimately, DHIS2 emerged as a pivotal tool for enhancing data quality and promoting health service equity across Ethiopia. Conclusion DHIS2 has significantly improved data quality and accessibility in Ethiopia, enhancing healthcare management and accountability across facilities. Healthcare providers should continue to leverage its robust features and prioritize ongoing staff training to improve digital literacy and data management skills. Establishing consistent reporting practices and regular audits will further maintain data integrity and foster a culture of accountability within the healthcare system.

Abstract:
Background Similar to many low- and middle-income countries, Botswana has identified eHealth as a means of improving health care service provision and delivery. The National Malaria Programme (NMP) in Botswana has implemented the District Health Information System version 2 (DHIS2) to support timely malaria case reporting across its 27 health districts; however, the implementation of an eHealth system is never without challenges. Barriers to the implementation of eHealth innovations within health care settings may arise at the individual or organizational levels. As such, the evaluation of user perceptions of the technology is an important step that can inform its sustainable implementation. The DHIS2 was implemented without evaluating user perceptions beforehand; therefore, the Botswana Ministry of Health and Wellness was uncertain about the likelihood of acceptance and use of the platform. Objective We aimed to determine the acceptance of the DHIS2 platform by the NMP in Botswana to gauge whether adoption would be successful. Methods The study’s design was informed by constructs of the technology acceptance model. A survey, with items assessed using a 7-point Likert scale, and focus group discussions were undertaken with DHIS2 core users from 27 health districts and NMP personnel at the Ministry of Health and Wellness. The web-based survey was administered from August 3, 2020 to September 30, 2020. Results Survey participants were core users (n=27). Focus group participants were NMP personnel (n=5). Overall, participants’ survey responses (frequently occurring scores of 7) showed their confidence in the DHIS2 platform for case-based surveillance of malaria; however, participants also noted some organizational issues that could compromise user acceptance of the DHIS2 platform. Conclusions Participants’ responses indicated their acceptance of the DHIS2 platform; however, the consideration of factors related to organizational readiness could further enhance successful acceptance, and consequently, successful adoption of the platform by the malaria program in Botswana.

Abstract:
Globally there is increasing interest in malaria indicators produced through routine information systems. Deficiencies in routine health information systems in many malaria endemic countries are well recognized and interventions such as the computerization of District Health Information Systems have been implemented to improve data quality, demand and use. However, little is known about the micro-practices and processes that shape routine malaria data generation at the frontline where these data are collected and reported. Using an ethnographic approach, this thesis critically examined how data for constructing malaria indicators are collected and reported through the District Health Information Software (DHIS2) in Kenya. The study was conducted over 18-months in four frontline health facilities and two sub-county health records offices. Data collection involved observations, review of tools and data quality audits, interviews and document reviews. Data were analysed using a thematic analysis approach. This study found that malaria indicator data generation at the health facility level was undermined by a range of factors including: understaffing; human resource management challenges; stock-out of essential commodities; poorly designed tools; and unclear/missing instructions for data collection and collation. In response to these challenges, health workers adopted various coping mechanisms such as informal task shifting and role sharing. They also used improvised tools which sustained the data collection process but had varied implications for the outcome of the process. Data quality problems were concealed in aggregated monthly reports. The DHIS2 autocorrected errors and masked data quality problems. Problems were compounded by inadequate data collection support systems such as supervision. Many challenges for malaria data generation were not HMIS or disease specific but reflected wider health system weaknesses. Any interventions seeking to improve routine malaria data generation must therefore look beyond malaria or HMIS initiatives to also include those that address the broader contextual factors that shape malaria data generation.

Because the definition of disk failure is specific to a customer rather than defined by a standard, we developed a relative disk health metric and proposed a customer-oriented disk-maintenance pipeline. We designed a program that processes data collected from data center disks into a format that is easy to analyze using machine learning. Then, we used a neural network to recognize disks that show signs of oncoming failure with 95.4-98.7% accuracy, and used the result of the network to produce a rank of most and least reliable disks at the data center, enabling customers to perform bulk disk maintenance, decreasing system downtime.<br>by Rebecca Kekelishvili.<br>M.

Abstract:
Il Bacino del Browse è parte del margine Nord-occidentale australiano e la sua evoluzione è legata a episodi multipli tettonici, verificatisi dal paleozoico, che hanno strutturato questo margine e i vari sottobacini che lo compongono. L'interpretazione di 16 profili sismici, ubicati nel bacino del Browse, e calibrati tramite dati di pozzo, sono la base principale di questo studio. L’obiettivo principale di questo lavoro è il riconoscimento delle geometrie deposizionali ed evoluzione tettonica del bacino avvenuta durante il rifting del margine NO australiano fino alla breakup continentale. Le geometrie deposizionali riscontrate comprendono le sequenze syn-rift permo-carbonifere, post-rift permo-triassiche e syn-rift giurassiche. Sono quindi state evidenziate le prime 7 sequenze già riscontrate da Geoscience Australia nel 1997 a cui sono associate 8 principali unconformity. Le quattro differenti fasi (Estensione 1, Subsidenza termica 1, Inversione 1 e Estensione 2), subite dal bacino, hanno plasmato la formazione del Browse andando anche ad influenzare la sedimentazione successiva. In particolare è risultato che, durante la fase estensionale paleozoica, nel bacino si formarono i suoi due maggiori depocentri cioè il Sottobacino del Barcoo e del Caswell. Durante la fase estensionale giurassica, preceduta da un evento di subsidenza termica e da una fase di inversione, la sedimentazione ha in alcuni casi ribattuto su antichi depocentri e in altri casi ne ha creati di nuovi andando quindi ad attuare una riorganizzazione all'interno dell’area di studio. L’evoluzione geologica del Bacino del Browse si è anche dimostrata adatta per la formazione e l’accumulo degli idrocarburi: i Direct Hydrocarbon Indicators (DHIs) riscontrati potrebbero infatti confermare sia la presenza di fluidi, prevalentemente nel Sottobacino del Caswell, sia la loro migrazione verso Est cioè verso l’attuale Piattaforma Yampi.

Several factors such as sediment compaction, overburden, lithology characteristic, hydrocarbon pressure and capillary entry pressure contribute significantly to the cause of overpressure. Hence, understanding the dynamics associated with the above factors will certainly reduce the risk involved in drilling and production. This study examined three deep water drilled wells GA-W1, GA-N1, and GA-AA1 of lower cretaceous Hauterivian to early Aptian age between 112 to 117.5 (MA) Southern Pletmos sub-basin, Bredasdorp basin offshore South Africa. The study aimed to determine the pore pressure prediction of the reservoir formation of the wells. Eaton’s resistivity and Sonic method are adopted using depth dependent normal compaction trendline (NCT) has been carried out for this study. The variation of the overburden gradient (OBG), the Effective stress, Fracture gradient (FG), Fracture pressure (FP), Pore pressure gradient (PPG) and the predicted pore pressure (PPP) have been studied for the selected wells. The overburden changes slightly as follow: 2.09g/cm3, 2.23g/cm3 and 2.24g/cm3 across the selected intervals depth of wells. The predicted pore pressure calculated for the intervals depth of selected wells GA-W1, GA-N1 and GA-AA1 also varies slightly down the depths as follow: 3,405 psi, 4,110 psi, 5,062 psi respectively. The overpressure zone and normal pressure zone were encountered in well GA-W1, while a normal pressure zone was experienced in both well GA-N1 and GA-AA1. In addition, the direct hydrocarbon indicator (DHI) was carried out by method of post-stack amplitude analysis seismic reflectors surface which was used to determine the hydrocarbon prospect zone of the wells from the seismic section. It majorly indicate the zones of thick hydrocarbon sand from the amplitude extraction grid map horizon reflectors at 13AT1 & 8AT1 and 8AT1 & 1AT1 of the well GA-W1, GA-N1 and GA-AA1 respectively. These are suggested to be the hydrocarbon prospect locations (wet-gas to Oil prone source) on the seismic section with fault trending along the horizons. No bright spot, flat spot and dim spot was observed except for some related pitfalls anomalies

Abstract:
碩士<br>南華大學<br>宗教學研究所<br>105<br>With highly developed industry and advanced technology, modern people seem to enjoy a life with unprecedented material wealth. However, the hard earned material wealth pays a great price, e.g., environmental pollution, pervasive utilitarianism and indifference towards various social issues. And the material gain does not lead to people’s psychological well-being, which industrialization and modernization promised to offer at the first place. What is worse is that more people are suffering from various forms of mental malfunctions. It seems that the entire human race is trapped in an impasse. Is there any way out?   Recently, with an attempt to slow down the deteriorating tendency, concerned people from public as well as private sectors have started to promote life education. The purpose of the present study is to establish a possible approach on the Ultimate Concern of life in hope of finding a life goal worth living for. With a wonderful integration of compassion and wis-dom, Lam Rim Chen Mo (the Great Treatise on the Stages of the Path to Enlightenment) is chosen as the target text to be analyzed. Document analysis and philosophical research methods are applied to interpret Lam Rim Chen Mo, where "Becoming a Buddha" is clarified as the core concept of Ultimate Concern of Mahayana Buddhism.   Furthermore, Buddhism Master Jih-Chang, the founder of The Bliss and Wisdom Bud-dhist Foundation and pioneer in popularizing the study of Lam Rim Chen Mo in Taiwan, is chosen to be the exemplary figure. To make Lam Rim a practical guide for lay people to achieve Ultimate Concern, Master Jih-Chang adopted concepts from Confucius teachings, where people are inspired to practice the right attitudes and actions in every-day life. Finally, upholding the ultimate goal of Becoming a Buddha while standing on the solid ground of everyday practice, Master Jih-Chang established a way toward Ultimate Concern of Maha-yana Buddhism.

Abstract:
The purpose of this study was to show how information from the District Health Information System can be used to empower managers to make evidence-based decisions that will strengthen the health care system to reduce the under-five mortality rate. A quantitative, contextual, exploratory evaluative and descriptive approach was followed and a data extraction framework, based on systems theory, was developed to guide the process of extracting existing routine data. A results-based approach was used to measure under-five mortality related health care in terms of impact, outcomes, outputs, processes and inputs. The study has highlighted that proxy indicators obtained this way places health care managers in the position to monitor progress towards achieving the Millennium Development Goal for child mortality in the interim periods between large population surveys. The findings displayed in the diagnostic performance profile revealed that drastic interventions are required to reduce the under-five mortality rate.<br>Health Studies<br>M.A. (Health Studies)

Abstract:
The purpose of this study was to explore and describe staff experiences in managing data and/or information when utilising the District Health Information System (DHIS) as a support mechanism for data quality improvement, including the strengths and weaknesses of current data management processes. It was also aimed to identify key barriers and to make recommendations on how data management can be strengthened. Key informants included in this study were those based at the district office (health programme managers and information officers) and at the primary health care (PHC) facilities (facility managers, clinical nurse practitioners and data capturers). An exploratory, descriptive and generic qualitative study was conducted. Consent was requested from each participant. Data were collected through semi-structured interviews. The study findings highlighted strengths, weaknesses and key barriers as experienced by the staff. Strengths, such as having data capturers and DHIS software at most if not all facilities, were highlighted. The weaknesses and key barriers highlighted were staff shortages of both clinical and health management information staff (HMIS), shortage of resources such as computers and Internet access, poor feedback, training needs and data quality issues. Most of the weaknesses and key barriers called for further and proper implementation of the District Health Management Information Systems (DHMIS) policy, the standard operating procedures (SOP), the eHealth strategy and training of the staff, due to the reported gaps between the policy and the reality and/or practice at the facility<br>Health Studies<br>M.A. (Public Health with specialisation in Medical Informatics)

Abstract:
AbstractChronic diseases strain global healthcare economically, and integrating digital solutions are proposed to help in meeting the rising demand. Digital health interventions (DHIs) offer promise for personalized, and cost-effective health services, however, factors influencing their uptake remain unclear. We examined whether the probability of lifestyle DHI uptake varies among individuals with different educational levels and lifestyles, based on their attitudes and usage of e-services. We also examined the effect of sex and age, and the association between DHI uptake and both educational attainment and overall lifestyle. A possibility to start using a web-based lifestyle DHI was offered to a subgroup (n = 6978) of Healthy Finland survey participants and adjusted logistic regression models were used to investigate the factors affecting uptake. We found that higher education and healthier lifestyle, as indicated by lifestyle score, were related to higher odds of DHI uptake. However, the effects of age, sex, independence of e-service use, and competence to use online services varied across lifestyle score groups. No significant interactions were observed related to educational attainment. These results imply that lifestyle DHIs are less likely to reach individuals with less-healthy lifestyle habits and lower educational attainment. In addition, some predictors affected the uptake differently across lifestyle score groups, suggesting that implementations of DHIs might attempt strategies to optimize the participation rates in especially targeted subgroups.

Abstract:
Nakamura Hikaru’s manga Saint Young Men (SYM; 聖☆おにいさん) is a slice-of-life comedy that has just entered its eleventh year of serialization. Word is that there are no future plans for an official English translation, due to the volatile religious climate in the US (Thompson); this is sad news for anyone who might enjoy seeing the Apostles Peter and Andrew show up at Jesus’s door for an annual Easter prank, wearing bald caps and kasayarobes and informing him that they’ve decided to convert to Bud-dhism (Nakamura 5:101). The previous sentence might sound at first like a bewildering combination of words, but the situation makes reasonable sense within the context of the series, which takes as its premise that Jesus and Buddha are roommates on a long-overdue vacation in modern-day Japan. A rotating cast of characters from both religions (as well as from the Greco-Roman and Norse pantheons) makes guest appearances in their daily low-key adventures, and Judas Iscariot formally joins the list as well in the same Easter prank chapter.
