Essence and necessity to make the teaching-learning process more innovative, scientific and students' centred have become main aim and objective of present day education system. A large number of methods are being used in teaching-learning process. The audio visual aids are being increasingly used since these involve both audio (verbal) as well as visual way of teaching. Several researches have been proved that the ability to recall is high with teaching using audio visual aids. Selection of appropriate media of teaching is one of the smart and important steps of teaching students of different levels and domains. Several media of audio visual aids are being practisized such as overhead projector (OHP), power point presentation (PPT), white or black board teaching and flip charts etc. These media have merits as well as demerits. There are key techniques to make them more effective. The audio visual aids help in consolidation of long term memories of learnt information. Logical use of different types of media simultaneously during teaching can be more beneficial for the learners in many ways.

HIV/AIDS PREVENTION EDUCATION USING AUDIO VISUAL MEDIA IN YOSOWILANGUN STUDENTS, LUMAJANG DISTRICT
ABSTRACT
The increasing number of adolescents with HIV and AIDS is possible because of limited access to information and health services which has an impact on the lack of true knowledge about HIV and AIDS. Understanding adolescents about HIV and AIDS is still very minimal, even though adolescents, including age groups are vulnerable to risk behavior. Increasing adolescent understanding about HIV / AIDS prevention can be done by providing health education / education especially for high school students Yosowilangun. The purpose of this activity is that all students of Yosowilangun High School, Yosowilangun District Lumajang Regency become more understanding about HIV / AIDS prevention. Some factors that are very supportive of the success of this community service activity are good coordination between the speaker and the school, Submission of material in the form of a video that is quite interesting for high school students classified as teenagers, there are discussions and questions and answers that are not limited by time, as well as prizes for participants who dare to ask. Some inhibiting factors in this community service activity are presenters (which in this case are a few students) need mastery of counseling targets totaling more than 100 participants and in the age that is not much different. But this can be overcome. The results of these community service activities can be said to be successful because 93% of students have good knowledge and understanding of HIV / AIDS prevention after being given health education. This can be observed at the level of attendance, participant activity,

The problem of adolescent reproductive health in Indonesia is about sexuality, HIV / AIDS and drugs. The problem occurs due to low knowledge of the TRIAD KRR which will affect the attitudes that adolescents will take in relation to the TRIAD KRR. The low level of knowledge occurs due to the lack of education that adolescents get about TRIAD KRR. The aim of this study was to find out the effect of providing counseling through audio-visual and webtoon on increasing knowledge and attitudes about the three basic threats to adolescent reproductive health (TRIAD KRR). This research is a quasi experimental study using a two groups pretest-posttest design approach. The research sample was students of SMAN 8 Cirebon City. The data analysis used was univariate and bivariate analysis using the Wilxocon test, paired t test and the Man-witney test. The measuring instrument used is a questionnaire. The analysis of the median pretest obtained for knowledge in the audiovisual group was 8.0000 and the posttest was 11,000. In the attitude, the median value for pretest was 36.00 and posttest was 37.00. Bivariate analysis in the audio-visual group, both knowledge and attitude, obtained p value 0.000 (<0.05). In the knowledge of the webtoon group, the p value was 0.000 (<0.05) and for the attitude, the p value was 0.350 (> 0.05). Differences in knowledge of audio visual media with webtoon obtained p value of 0.411 and for attitude that is 0.033. There is no significant difference in knowledge through audio-visual media and webtoon but in attitude there is a difference

This descriptive study utilized the strategy of primary health care in program development—especially a community-based health education intervention approach—in the control of guinea-worm in rural communities of Nigeria. Two closely related rural communities in two states served as target groups. Committee system approach, nominal group process, interview methods, audio-visual aids, and health care volunteer trainingship were the educational strategies employed in a control and experimental set up. The PRECEDE model was applied in the analysis. Results show a significant control action on guinea-worm infestation in the experimental community and a tremendous achievement in preventive health education interventions through organized community participation/involvement and ultimate self-reliance and individual responsibility. A positive increase in health knowledge and attitude examined through interview method, and observable changes in health behavior were noticed. Wells were provided, drinking water treated, while personal and community health promotion strategies were encouraged by all. The study has shown the effectiveness/efficacy of a community-based effort facilitated by a health educator.

Full textAbstract:
Mathematical education is currently undergoing significant changes that are driven by technology and digital-based learning. Students with visual impairments (VI) may face different challenges in mathematical education due to a lack of accessible materials designed to support the development of conceptual understanding in mathematics. The aim of the study was to summarize current evidence-based knowledge about e-learning in mathematics among students with severe VI. A systematic review was conducted of articles published from January 2000 to November 2017. A total of 13 publications met the inclusion criteria, of which 12 reported studies with an intervention or an experimental design and one had a cross-sectional design. The number of students with VI varied from three to 16 ( Mage = 19 years). Four publications reported either ophthalmic diagnoses or World Health Organization’s (WHO) definition of vision loss. The mathematical training was reported as lasting from one session to 18 weeks of training. Eight papers reported the use of audio-based applications as learning aids. The authors conclude that interactive e-learning with audio and tactile learning programmes may be a useful resource for students with VI to enhance their mathematical skills. However, there is lack of evidence for how digital technologies improve inclusion potentials and learning in mathematics for students with VI, and hence, there is a need for additional research and more reflection on the subject.

IntroductionAs part of an investment by the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation to support the Government of Bihar to improve reproductive, maternal, newborn and child health and nutrition (RMNCHN) statewide, BBC Media Action implemented multiple communication tools to support front-line worker (FLW) outreach. We analyse the impacts of a package of mHealth audio messaging and paper-based job aids used by FLWs during government-sponsored village health, sanitation and nutrition days (VHSNDs) on knowledge and practices of childbearing women across the RMNCHN continuum of care.MethodsData from two surveys collected between July and September 2016 were analysed using logistic regression to compare health-related knowledge and behaviours between women who had been exposed at VHSNDs to the mHealth GupShup Potli (GSP) audio recordings or interpersonal communication (IPC) tools versus those who were unexposed.ResultsExposure to GSP recordings (n=2608) was associated with improved knowledge across all continuum-of-care domains, as well as improved health-related behaviours in some domains. The odds of having taken iron-folic acid (IFA) tablets were significantly higher in exposed women (OR 1.5, 95% CI 1.1 to 2.2), as was contraceptive use (OR 2.0, 95% CI 1.2 to 3.2). There were no differences in birth preparedness or complementary feeding practices between groups. Exposure to IPC paper-based tools (n=2002) was associated with a twofold increased odds of IFA consumption (OR 2.3, 95% CI 1.7 to 3.2) and contraceptive use (OR 1.8, 95% CI 1.2 to 2.8). Women exposed to both tools were generally at least twice as likely to subsequently discuss the messages with others.ConclusionBBC Media Action’s mHealth audio messaging job aids and paper-based IPC tools were associated with improved knowledge and practices of women who were exposed to them across multiple domains, suggesting their important potential for improving health outcomes for beneficiaries at scale in low-resource settings.Trial registration numberNCT02726230.

Acurate information about acquired immunodeficiency syndrome [AIDS]and human immunodeficiency virus [HIV]is important for their prevention. This study is intended to assess knowledge on AIDS in students of secondary schools in Buraidah City and to measure the effect of a health education program on their knowledge about AIDS in general, modes of HIV transmission and the degree of their misperception about the transmission of the disease through casual contact. A well-designed health education program using personal communication and visual media techniques was conducted for 483 secondary school students in Buraidah secondary schools during the year 1997. Pre- and post-tests were done to examine their knowledge about AIDS. The results of this study pointed out that a health education program on AIDS for students of secondary schools greatly and significantly improved their scores on general knowledge on AIDS views on its transmission and misperception of AIDS [p < 0.01].

International organizations are increasingly turning to theatre as a means of raising development issues, exploring options, and influencing behaviour. This paper examines some structures and techniques inherent in this type of applied theatre, analyzing two plays used to supplement AIDS education programmes in Uganda. One is a video production by a typical urban popular theatre group, while the second production analyzed exemplifies the Theatre for Development approach through its sub-genre, Campaign Theatre, used to raise awareness on health issues, hygiene, sanitation, child care, and the environment. The study analyzes the performance of the two plays and addresses some contradictions arising from the involvement and influence of external organizations. Marion Frank is a graduate of Bayreuth University in Germany, whose extensive field research has resulted in the publication of AIDS Education through Theater (Bayreuth African Studies Series, Bayreuth, 1995).

Full textAbstract:
Curriculum-Based Measurement of Reading (CBM-R) is frequently used to monitor instructional effects and evaluate response to instruction. Educators often view the data graphically on a time-series graph that might include a variety of statistical and visual aids, which are intended to facilitate the interpretation. This study evaluated the effects of brief training, graphical aids, and presence of extreme/outlier values on accuracy. Novice visual analysts ( N = 173) were randomly assigned to a training condition: control, trend line calculation, or extreme value identification. All participants interpreted graphical displays of progress monitoring data with and without trend lines and extreme values. Novice visual analysts’ performance on a knowledge test was uniformly high. Results indicate that the overall probability of an accurate response was .80, which improved to a maximum of .94 within the condition with trend lines and no extreme values. Specifically, results indicate that even in the presence of extreme values, trend lines facilitate novice visual analysts’ accuracy.

Full textAbstract:
Water, sanitation, and hygiene issues present barriers to health in rural Dominican Republic. Limited access to adequate water, sanitation, and hygiene accompanies a prevalence of water, sanitation, and hygiene-related diseases. To address these issues, an education and behavior change program using community health clubs has been adapted for areas at greatest risk of water, sanitation, and hygiene disease transmission. To support this initiative, a protocol was created to evaluate 147 images from a community health clubs toolkit for Dominican agricultural communities, or bateyes, to determine image comprehension and cultural appropriateness, as well as the demographic variables associated with visual literacy. A total of 112 interviews were completed across seven bateyes located near the city of La Romana; 60 images were determined to require additional adaptation. Further analyses demonstrated that age and education were significantly associated with greater visual literacy. These results reinforce that educational visual aids require testing for cultural appropriateness and that future work should be conducted to investigate factors that contribute to visual literacy.

Background: Coronary heart disease is the impairment of heart function due to inadequate blood flow to the heart, compared to its needs caused by obstruction. It is the cause of 25-30 percent of deaths in most industrialised countries. The WHO has drawn its fact that coronary heart disease is a modern epidemic .A steady decline in mortality is seen in western countries due to changes in lifestyles and related risk factors. Objectives of the study to assess the knowledge of the people regarding coronary heart disease, to identify who are at risk and to test their attitudes and practices.Methods: This is a descriptive study. The sample size was 256. The study was done among the OPD patients attending the rural health centres of a tertiary hospital in Mangalore. Time period was two months.Results: Our community based cross-sectional study demonstrated good knowledge (57.42%), good attitude but poor practice regarding the cardiovascular health in the rural population of Mangalore. Conclusions: There is a need for concerted efforts for health education (e.g. audio visual aids) focusing more on Coronary heart disease causations, signs and symptoms, and treatment facilities. Conducting screening camps aiming more towards cardiovascular check-up- including lipid profile, blood sugar, ECG in addition to routine check-up; preferably once in a year covering a mass population for the purpose of prevention and management is necessary.

Full textAbstract:
Videoconferencing has been used for continuing medical education (CME) in Nova Scotia since a pilot project to four communities in 1995. The Nova Scotia Telehealth Network was developed after the pilot project. Using the network, the videoconferenced CME programme expanded over the next few years until in, 2000 1, 66 programmes were broadcast to 38 sites. During the expansion of the programme, we improved video quality and developed efficient methods of: scheduling and planning the content of the videoconferences; training faculty presenters in videoconferencing techniques; and evaluation. We consider this programme represents a success. However, several aspects could be improved. Faculty members still need encouragement to make visual aids legible by videoconference and to provide handouts. Also, there has been little upgrading of equipment over the past four years and some reduction in the reliability of connections.

Background. Multiple studies have shown that digitally mediated decision aids help prepare patients for medical decision making with their providers. However, few studies have investigated whether decision-support preferences differ between non-English-speaking and English-speaking Latino men with limited literacy. Objective. To identify and compare health information seeking patterns, preferences for information presentation, and interest in digital decision aids in a sample of Southern Californian underserved Latino men with newly diagnosed prostate cancer at a county hospital. Methods. We conducted semistructured, in-depth telephone interviews with 12 Spanish-speaking and 8 English-speaking Latino men using a purposive sampling technique. Following transcription of taped interviews, Spanish interviews were translated. Using a coding protocol developed by the team, two bilingual members jointly analyzed the transcripts for emerging themes. Coder agreement exceeded 80%. Differences were resolved through discussion. Results. Thematic differences between groups with different preferred languages emerged. Most respondents engaged in online health information seeking using cellphones, perceived a paternalistic patient-provider relationship, and expressed willingness to use hypothetical digital decision aids if recommended by their provider. English speakers reported higher digital technology proficiency for health-related searches. They also more frequently indicated family involvement in digital search related to their condition and preferred self-guided, web-based decision aids. In comparison, Spanish speakers reported lower digital technology proficiency and preferred family-involved, coach-guided, paper and visual decision aids. English speakers reported substantially higher levels of formal education. Conclusion. Preferences regarding the use of digital technology to inform prostate cancer treatment decision making among underserved Latino men varied depending on preferred primary language. Effective preparation of underserved Latino men for shared decision making requires consideration of alternative approaches depending on level of education attainment and preferred primary language.

Full textAbstract:
This article describes the development, field testing, and evaluation of an interactive computer program, "Life Challenge," developed by the New York State Department of Health as a tool for enhancing adolescents' sense of self-efficacy in HIV/AIDS prevention programs. The computer kiosks were field tested in 13 sites serving high-risk adolescents. The program uses a time travel adventure game format to provide information and nonthreatening skill practice. Users record and play back their responses as they "negotiate" with their chosen partners. A proof of concept evaluation with analysis of 211 audio responses found that users took negotiating tasks seriously; statistically significant learning gains were achieved on knowledge items and in self-efficacy scores (greatest improvement for those with low baseline self-efficacy levels). Challenges and problems encountered in implementing the project are described, and the potential of using computers for skill practice and educational interventions in health education is explored.

Journal of Infection Prevention 18, no. 5 (February 1, 2017): 242–47. http://dx.doi.org/10.1177/1757177416689723.
Full textAbstract:
Background: Understanding patients’ perspective towards HIV screening in Malaysia is pivotal to explore challenges faced by these individuals. This would be beneficial for developing local plans to improve the health-seeking behaviours among population at risk of HIV/AIDS. Methods: A qualitative research methodology was adopted to explore HIV/AIDS patients’ views about disease screening. A semi-structured interview guide was used for in-depth patient interviews. All interviews were audio-recorded and were subjected to a standard content analysis framework for data analysis. Results: Most patients were positive about screening and the value of knowing about their status early. However, fear of social stigma, discrimination, lack of support system and lack of public understanding were identified as major concerns affecting their willingness to be screened. They were concerned about mandatory screening being implemented without improvement in support system and public education. Conclusions: Reluctance to seek HIV screening is an important factor contributing to transmission in developing countries. In the Malaysian context, efforts should be made to strengthen screening strategies especially in the most-at-risk populations to monitor the epidemic and target prevention strategies. Practice implications: In a multicultural context, HIV preventive strategies must include disease awareness, including measure to tackle barriers towards screening.

Full textAbstract:
BackgroundLate-onset neonatal sepsis (LONS) is a significant contributor to morbidity and mortality in very low birthweight (VLBW) neonates with indwelling central lines. Compliance to central line care bundles is suboptimal in low-and-middle-income country settings. Point of care quality improvement (POCQI) method may be used to improve the compliance gap. We used the POCQI method to achieve an improvement in compliance to central line care bundles with an aim to reduce LONS in a subset of VLBW neonates.MethodsA pre and post-intervention study consisting of three phases was conducted in a tertiary care neonatal intensive care unit. A root-cause analysis was undertaken to find the causes of LONS in VLBW babies with central lines. Multiple change ideas were identified and tested using sequential Plan-Do-Study-Act (PDSA) cycles to address the issue of reduced compliance to the central line care bundles. The change ideas tested in PDSA cycles which were successful were adopted. Compliance to the insertion and maintenance bundles was measured as process indicators. LONS, central line associated bloodstream infections and all-cause mortality rates were measured as outcome indicators.ResultsA total of 10 PDSA cycles testing multiple change ideas (staff education, audio-visual aids, supply issues) were undertaken during the study duration. Bundles were not being used in the study setting prior to the initiation of the study. Insertion bundle compliance was above 90% and maintenance bundle compliance increased from 23.3% to 42.2% during the intervention and sustenance phases, respectively. A 43.3% statistically significant reduction in LONS rates was achieved at the end of the study. No effect on mortality was seen.ConclusionPOCQI method can be used to improve compliance to central line care bundles which can lead to a reduction of LONS in VLBW neonates with central lines in situ.

Full textAbstract:
HIV/AIDS has emerged as a serious epidemic in Nepal, concentrated amongst the most-at-risk populations. Volun-tary Counseling and Testing (VCT) is a proven strategy for the prevention and management of HIV/AIDS especially in developing countries. Given that the utilization of VCT is low in Nepal, it is important to understand the barriers and challenges that Nepal is facing in the provision and utilization of these services. This study aimed to provide recommendations for policy makers to improve the utilization of VCT services in Nepal. A qualitative study of VCT health service providers and government officials was undertaken in 4 cities of Nepal. Sixteen interviews, three joint interviews and one focus group discussion were conducted, audio recorded and transcribed verbatim. Data were then analyzed using a thematic analysis framework and major themes were identified. Various barriers including socio-cultural issues, geography, the presence of stigma and discrimination faced by people with HIV/AIDS and a lack of knowledge and awareness were identified as important factors limiting the utilization of VCT services. Current gov-ernment efforts to improve VCT service provision, although promising, require ongoing development. Systemic barriers included the sustainability of the temporary NGO VCT services, lack of staff and training, inadequate moni-toring and evaluation and limited access to services for people living in rural areas. To increase the sustainability and utilization of VCT services, the Government can intervene in a number of areas including the integration of VCT services with existing primary health care services and addressing ongoing education and quality assurance.

Full textAbstract:
Purpose Food guides are graphic representations of food-based dietary guidelines that support national health policies and programming. They are visual aids simplifying complex nutritional messaging for the public. While pyramid and circle formats are the most common shapes in use worldwide, the dinner plate format is increasing in use due to its perceived effectiveness. However, research examining visual attributes of food guide graphics, and the dinner plate model specifically, is limited. The purpose of this paper is to systematically compare and analyse key visual attributes of plate food guide graphics (across multiple examples) to assess their potential for effective visual communication of nutrition messaging. Design/methodology/approach This study engages in a qualitative analysis of compositional elements of food guide graphics. Data collection and analysis are grounded in the methods of compositional interpretation, which includes a qualitative, descriptive approach to establishing a thematic survey of the data. Findings Unique visual attributes of the plate food guide (including image content, spatial organisation and expressive content) present challenges in the communication of key nutritional messaging regarding proportionality, moderation and overall usability. Practical implications A better understanding of the visual attributes of the plate food guide model will contribute to improved design and development of this key public health tool by researchers, educators and health practitioners. Additionally, the examination of visual attributes has implications for the study of food guide understanding and use. Originality/value This study highlights the need for critical visual skills in qualitative health research, and to address gaps in health education more broadly.

Full textAbstract:
Objectives: The intervention objectives were to evaluate and describe the feasibility of using a community-based research (CBR) approach to adapt and implement HIV-prevention materials and tools with incarcerated men. We found no prior published reports about CBR HIV-prevention education in Canadian correctional facilities. Methods: Twelve members of the correctional Peer Education Committee (PEC) and Aboriginal PEC, whom a correctional nurse identified as being interested in preventive health, were purposively invited to participate. Eight participants were serving life sentences, three were Aboriginal and their education levels ranged from below grade 8 to 11 years of post-secondary education. The setting was a medium-security federal correctional facility, housing 324 men. The intervention was guided by CBR and ‘greater involvement of people with AIDS’ principles. Participants were invited to attend four workshops, over seven days in May 2014, and to provide their insights regarding future scaled-up CBR HIV prevention. Each workshop included an HIV-prevention presentation and a focus group discussion, two of which were audio-recorded. Findings: All participants attended all sessions. Synthesis of mixed-method findings, with quantitative and qualitative data triangulation, demonstrated two major outcomes: ‘new knowledge was generated’ regarding feasibility of CBR HIV prevention in a men’s correction facility; and ‘capacity building occurred’ with increased participants’ social capital. Thirty incarcerated men requested HIV testing following the intervention, because participants spread their knowledge about HIV prevention to others. Participants asked to become ‘health ambassadors’ – champion advisors for future scaled-up CBR HIV-prevention intervention for the entire correctional facility. Conclusion: CBR HIV prevention is feasible within a Canadian men’s correctional facility.

Full textAbstract:
We examined the procedures for implementing group videoconference (VC) education for older people delivered into the home environment to identify the most common themes affecting the optimum delivery of VC home-based groups to older people. Participants ( n = 52) were involved in a six-week group VC patient education program. There were a total of 44 sessions, undertaken by nine groups, with an average of four participants (range 1–7) and the facilitator. Participants could see and hear each other in real-time whilst in their homes with customised tablets or a desktop computer. The data presented here are based on a program log maintained by the facilitator throughout the implementation phase of the project and post intervention. The VC group experience is influenced by factors including the VC device location, connection processes, meeting times, use of visual aids and test calls. Social presence can be improved by communication protocols and strategies. Robust information technology (IT) support is essential in mitigating technical problems to enhance users’ experience. Group patient education can be delivered by VC into homes of older people. However, careful pre-program planning, training and support should be considered when implementing such programs.

Full textAbstract:
Abstract Background Health-related quality of life (HRQoL) is considered to be the fourth 90 of UNAIDS 90-90-90 target to monitor the effects of combination antiretroviral therapy (ART). ART has significantly increased the life expectancy of people living with HIV/AIDS (PLWHA). However, the impact of chronic infection on HRQoL remains unclear, while factors influencing the HRQoL may vary from one country to another. The current study aimed to assess HRQoL and its associated factors among PLWHA receiving ART in Pakistan. Methods A cross-sectional descriptive study was conducted among PLWHA attending an ART centre of a tertiary care hospital in Islamabad, Pakistan. HRQoL was assessed using a validated Urdu version of EuroQol 5 dimensions 3 level (EQ-5D-3L) and its Visual Analogue Scale (EQ-VAS). Results Of the 602 patients included in the analyses, 59.5% (n = 358) reported no impairment in self-care, while 63.1% (n = 380) were extremely anxious/depressed. The overall mean EQ-5D utility score and visual analogue scale (EQ-VAS) score were 0.388 (SD: 0.41) and 66.20 (SD: 17.22), respectively. Multivariate linear regression analysis revealed that the factors significantly associated with HRQoL were: female gender; age > 50 years; having primary and secondary education; > 1 year since HIV diagnosis; HIV serostatus AIDS-converted; higher CD 4 T lymphocytes count; detectable viral load; and increased time to ART. Conclusions The current findings have shown that PLWHA in Pakistan adherent to ART had a good overall HRQoL, though with significantly higher depression. Some of the factors identified are amenable to institution-based interventions while mitigating depression to enhance the HRQoL of PLWHA in Pakistan. The HRQoL determined in this study could be useful for future economic evaluation studies for ART and in designing future interventions.

Introduction: Long-acting and permanent methods of contraception (LAPMs) are known as highly-effective contraception. The Department of Health of East Java Province stated that LAPM participation is still below target. One of the factors is the Interpersonal Communication (IPC) skill of the Health Practitioners. This study aimed to identify the influence of health lectures using media and peer-education on the knowledge and attitude of pregnant women regarding LAPMs. Peer-education is the novelty of this study.Methods: A two-group quasi experimental design was applied with all of the pregnant women at Kesugihan Public Health Center (PHC) as the treatment group. They were given lectures with media inclusion (contraception booklets and visual aids) and peer-education during a pregnancy class. Pregnant women at Ngebel PHC were the control group. One woman who had experience with LAMPs was trained as a peer-educator. Thirty participants in each group were chosen using the total sampling technique. The data collected was analyzed using univariate and bivariate analyses by applying the Wilcoxon Signed-Rank and Mann-Whitney tests.Results: The participants showed an increased knowledge before and after the intervention in the treatment group (83%), while in control group, it was slightly increased (1%). Attitude differences were also found in both groups (treatment = 56.7%, control = 13.3%). The Mann-Whitney test resulted in significant differences on knowledge (p <0.001) and attitude (p = 0.016) between the two groups.Conclusion: The local department of health may optimize IPC using media and peer-education to improve the knowledge and attitude of pregnant women regarding LAPM participation.

Background. Early entry into HIV care is low in Sub-Saharan Africa. In Rakai, about a third (31.5%) of HIV-positive clients who knew their serostatus did not enroll into free care services. This qualitative study explored barriers to entry into care from HIV-positive clients who had never enrolled in care and HIV care providers.Methods. We conducted 48 in-depth interviews among HIV-infected individuals aged 15–49 years, who had not entered care within six months of result receipt and referral for free care. Key-informant interviews were conducted with 12 providers. Interviews were audio-recorded and transcripts subjected to thematic content analysis based on the health belief model.Results. Barriers to using HIV care included fear of stigma and HIV disclosure, women’s lack of support from male partners, demanding work schedules, and high transport costs. Programmatic barriers included fear of antiretroviral drug side effects, long waiting and travel times, and inadequate staff respect for patients. Denial of HIV status, belief in spiritual healing, and absence of AIDS symptoms were also barriers.Conclusion. Targeted interventions to combat stigma, strengthen couple counseling and health education programs, address gender inequalities, and implement patient-friendly and flexible clinic service hours are needed to address barriers to HIV care.

Era globalisasi menimbulkan persaingan yang menuntut ketersediaan SDM yang bermutu dan profesional. Salah satu penentu mutu pelayanan kesehatan adalah ketersediaan tenaga kesehatan yang cukup dan profesional, yang tidak bisa terlepas dari sistem pendidikan tenaga kesehatan. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui hubungan antara nilai akreditasi sub-sub komponen Borang Akreditasi 2000 dengan Mutu Lulusan institusi Diknakes. Sumber data adalah data sekunder hasil akreditasi sampai Maret 2005 dan Laporan Sistim Informasi Pendidikan Tenaga Kesehatan dari Bidang Diknakes Khusus dan Akreditasi Pusat Pendidikan Tenaga Kesehatan Departemen Kesehatan. Desain penelitian ini adalah potong lintang dan analisis data dengan regresi logistik berganda dan analisis faktor. Proporsi institusi yang mutu lulusan baik adalah 44.1%. Institusi dengan nilai perencanaan sangat baik pada kondisi nilai dosen tetap cukup, berpeluang 0.16 kali (95% CI 0.03–0.87), untuk menghasilkan mutu lulusan baik daripada institusi yang nilai perencanaannya cukup setelah dikontrol oleh variabel pelaksanaan program pengajaran, laporan periodik, evaluasi proses pengajaran, alat bantu pandang dengar dan prasarana. Dari hasil analisis faktor, diperoleh 5 faktor dengan total varians 60,28% yaitu faktor kurikulum, sarana, pendidik, laboratorium dan penunjang pendidikan. Faktor yang signifikan berhubungan dengan mutu lulusan baik adalah nilai akreditasi sub komponen dosen tetap yang berinteraksi dengan nilai akreditasi sub komponen perencanaan program pengajaran, dimana dosen tetap merupakan faktor yang paling dominan. Dari analisis faktor, sub komponen tenaga tata usaha dan perpustakaan membentuk faktor baru, begitu juga sub komponen laboratorium ternyata tidak berkorelasi dengan faktor lain dan membentuk faktor sendiri.Kata kunci : Akreditasi, pusat diknakes, mutu lulusan, institusi diknakes.Competitiveness in the globalization era has raised the needs for qualified and professional human resources. One of the key indicators of a high quality health service is the availability of professional medics, which obviously cannot be separated from the health education system. The objectives of this study is to investigate the correlation between the accreditation rates of Borang Akreditasi 2000’s sub-components and the quality of the health institution graduates. The data used is from the accreditation results to March 2005 and the report of Information System of Health Manpower Education from Specialist of Health Education and Accreditation Division, Centre of Health Manpower Education, Department of Public Health. The studi design used this research is cross sectional. The data is analyzed by using multiple logistic regression and factor analysis. Proportion of the institution with good quality graduates is 44.1%. Institutions with very good marks on education planning with an adequate on the full time lecturer’s state, possess 0.16 times risk (95% CI :0.03 – 0.87), to produce a good graduates compared to the institution with adequate marks on education planning after being controlled by the variables: application of teaching assistance program, periodic report, teaching evaluation, audio visual aids, and infrastructures. Based on the factor analysis, the author acquired 5 factors with a variance of 60.28%, they were curriculum, infrastructure, lecturer, Laboratorium and educational support. The research has shown that the most significant factors for highly qualified health education graduates are the accreditation rates for the full-time lecturer involvement sub-component and the planning of the teaching program sub-component. Between these two, the full-time lecturer involvement is a more dominant factor. From the factor analysis, the administration staff and librarians sub-component has raised a new factor. Also, the laboratory sub- component does not correlate with other factors. In fact, it has emerged as an independent factor.Key words : Accreditation, centre of health manpower education, quality of graduates, the health institutions.

A trial of 11 video-conferenced teaching sessions for residents in pediatric cardiology was performed by the 7 training programs in Canada in order to share expertise in specialized areas, to expose trainees to educational telemedicine, and to acquaint residents with other programs and personnel. Topics included cardiac pathology, arrhythmias, magnetic resonance imaging, fetal physiology, pulmonary hypertension, and cardiomyopathy. The sessions were evaluated by 93 residents by questionnaire for content and technology. Session content was highly rated. Videoconference picture quality was highly rated, but sound quality and visual aids were rated as neutral or unsatisfactory by a significant minority,related to problems with several early sessions, subsequently corrected. 60% of respondents rated the videoconferences as good as live presentations. Presenters were generally satisfied although they required some adjustments to videoconferencing. The average cost per session was $700 Canadian. Videoconferencing of resident educational sessions was generally well accepted by most presenters and residents, and the trial has formed the basis for a national network. Adequate organizational time, and careful attention to audiovisual needs, are most important. Videoconference guidelines are suggested for presenters based on this experience.

Full textAbstract:
Hearing loss is a modifiable risk factor for dementia in older adults. Whether hearing aid use can delay the onset of cognitive decline is unknown. Participants in this study (aged 62–82 years) were assessed before and 18 months after hearing aid fitting on hearing, cognitive function, speech perception, quality of life, physical activity, loneliness, isolation, mood, and medical health. At baseline, multiple linear regression showed hearing loss and age predicted significantly poorer executive function performance, while tertiary education predicted significantly higher executive function and visual learning performance. At 18 months after hearing aid fitting, speech perception in quiet, self-reported listening disability and quality of life had significantly improved. Group mean scores across the cognitive test battery showed no significant decline, and executive function significantly improved. Reliable Change Index scores also showed either clinically significant improvement or stability in executive function for 97.3% of participants, and for females for working memory, visual attention and visual learning. Relative stability and clinically and statistically significant improvement in cognition were seen in this participant group after 18 months of hearing aid use, suggesting that treatment of hearing loss with hearing aids may delay cognitive decline. Given the small sample size, further follow up is required.

Full textAbstract:
In this article Eckhard Breitinger traces the sources of present-day popular theatre in Uganda back to the situation shortly before and after independence, when Europeans, Indians, Goans, and Ugandans each had their own separate cultural and theatrical traditions. Theatrical activity came to a virtual standstill under the repressive regimes of Obote and Amin, when many prominent theatre people were killed or exiled, but quickly began to flourish again after 1986: in downtown Kampala semi-professional groups thus produce commercial comedies, while in the suburbs amateur companies use theatre to supplement their meagre incomes. Meanwhile, government and aid organizations involve themselves mainly in theatre for education, particularly health education, and the campaign against Aids has generated new needs – met by a new style of ‘morality play’, here illustrated and analyzed in detail. Eckhard Breitinger teaches American, African, and Caribbean literature at the University of Bayreuth, and has also taught in Jamaica, Ghana, Nigeria, Uganda, and France. He is a translator of radio plays, author of monographs on the gothic novel and American radio drama, and editor of several books on African and new English literature. Presently he is editor of Bayreuth African Studies, and directing a research project on cultural communication in Africa.

Early childhood (2-6 years) is a golden age as well as an appropriate time to start character education and learn various skills that are useful for children as a foundation for higher skills in the future. The application of character education at that age will continue to imprint and underpin good character values that are beneficial to the child's future. TK Senyiur Indah is one of the educational institutions implementing character education through the implementation of the 2013 Curriculum. One of the themes raised in character education at TK Senyiur Indah is Work or Profession. However, the introduction of the health profession that was delivered at the time of learning activities at the Beautiful Senyiur Kindergarten was only limited to the profession of doctors and nurses. Students have not been introduced to the pharmacist profession. Whereas in fact, the pharmacist profession plays an important role in the success of health programs. The purpose of this service is to increase students' knowledge about the pharmacist profession through storytelling activities containing character education as an effort to improve health. The method used in this community service activity is the early introduction of the pharmacist profession, using the storytelling method using visual aids such as finger puppets, as well as games about the process of making drugs in the form of capsules. Solution to the agreement with partners can be seen through indicators of the success of this activity as measured by increasing the acquisition of pretest and posttest scores, which shows an increase in students' knowledge. The conclusion in this activity is the high enthusiasm of students so as to increase knowledge, skills, students in terms of medicine and the pharmacist profession so as to improve students' health.

The Water Well Project is a health promotion charity that aims to improve the health literacy of individuals of refugee, asylum seeker and migrant backgrounds. Health literacy is an important predictor of health status, but many Australians cannot demonstrate functional health literacy, and individuals from culturally and linguistically diverse (CALD) backgrounds are at higher risk of poor health literacy. The primary participants of The Water Well Project’s health education sessions are individuals of refugee, asylum seeker and migrant background, who are at risk of increased morbidity and mortality due to a range of factors. Secondary participants are volunteer healthcare professionals who facilitate these sessions. Because the Water Well Project is a community-centric organisation, the content and delivery of education sessions is shaped by the health literacy needs of the participants. During each session, The Water Well Project aims for a ratio of two volunteer healthcare professionals to every 5–15 participants. Sessions are interactive, with the use of visual aids, and incorporate the services of a professional interpreter when required. Since 2011, over 300 education sessions have been delivered to more than 3000 participants with anticipated flow-on effects to family and friends. The sessions provide a unique opportunity for participants and volunteer healthcare professionals to simultaneously acquire valuable health literacy skills. For participants, this fosters an improved awareness of and trust in the healthcare system; for volunteer healthcare professionals, this affords the opportunity to contribute to the health of vulnerable populations while developing skills in working effectively with interpreters and CALD communities. What is known about this topic? Individuals of CALD backgrounds, including refugees and asylum seekers, are at risk of poor health literacy. Reasons include burden of illness, effects of transition including exposure to psychological and physical trauma, and exposure to new risk factors in country of settlement. What does this paper add? The Water Well Project is a not-for-project, health literacy organisation that provides health education sessions to individuals of refugee, asylum seeker and migrant background. Interactive sessions are provided by volunteer healthcare professionals at the request of established community groups. Evaluation data has demonstrated positive outcomes for session participants, volunteers and referral community organisations. What are the implications for practitioners? Improved health literacy improves the ability of individuals to engage with the health system and improve their own health. Healthcare volunteers gained valuable skills working with CALD communities and interpreters.

Background: Peer patient advocates, also called peer advocates or peer supporters have the same chronic illness as the patients that they aid to manage their health care (MacLellan, 2017). Our team developed an interactive group educational program that aimed to prepare and guide adolescents and emerging adults (AEAs) with Sickle Cell Disease (SCD) as they transition from pediatric to adult care and included a peer patient advocate as a co-facilitator of the program. Here we describe a peer advocate led process to develop an educational booklet equipped with visual aids, tables, and pertinent definitions. To our knowledge, this is a novel use of a peer patient advocate as it has not been seen in the literature before. Methods: The first iteration of the booklet was developed by the peer patient advocate based on topics discovered as important to AEAs and parents through qualitative interviews. The intent of the booklet was to be a guide and resource to four AEA's ages 16-21 as they completed the group healthcare meetings The peer advocate drew on personal experiences with SCD to make the educational booklet as relevant as possible while integrating health information from the National Institutes of Health (National Institutes of Health, 2015), American Society of Hematology (American Society of Hematology, n.d.), and Got Transition (Got Transition, n.d.). The second iteration of the program and booklet facilitated by the peer patient advocate integrated lessons learned from the pilot and was used by twelve patients ranging in age from 14-21. Each AEA was called 1-7 days prior to the next group meeting to evaluate the educational material and share their experiences. These structured interviews took between 5-10 minutes to complete was audio-recorded and transcribed into a text file that could be used for feedback analysis. Results: The AEAs overall described the booklet as useful, easy to understand, and beneficial to their learning. It was described as a resources that they found useful to go to for quick information and they enjoyed that it was related to the information presented within the group. The project overall demonstrated that using peer patient advocates as guides to the healthcare team can be very instrumental in developing patient educational materials and programs. Although peer patient advocates are not experts in developing educational material, this project demonstrates that peer patient advocates can develop excellent patient educational materials that are usable and relatable to adolescent patients with sickle cell disease. Conclusions: Having a peer patient advocate as part of the team that creates the education material can increase pertinent, usable, and relatable information for AEAs with sickle cell disease. The team felt the peer advocate's contributions were vital to the booklet content. Including a peer patient advocate to develop patient education development for other chronic diseases may be valuable for AEAs with other chronic health conditions. Disclosures No relevant conflicts of interest to declare.

AbstractObjective:Children with congenital heart disease (CHD) have complex unique post-operative care needs. Limited data assess parents’ hospital discharge preparedness and education quality following cardiac surgery. The goals were to identify knowledge gaps in discharge preparedness after congenital heart surgery and to assess the acceptability of an educational mobile application to improve discharge preparedness.Methods:Telephonic interviews with parents of children with two-ventricle physiology who underwent cardiac surgery 5–7 days post-discharge and in-person interviews with clinicians were conducted. We collected parent and clinician demographics, parent health literacy information and patient clinical data. We analysed interview transcripts using summative content analysis.Results:We interviewed 26 parents and 6 clinicians. Twenty-two of the 26 (85%) parents felt ready for discharge; 4 of the 6 (67%) clinicians did not feel most parents were ready for discharge. Fifteen of the 26 parents (58%) reported receiving the majority of discharge teaching on the day of discharge. Eight parents did not feel like all of their questions were answered. Most parents (14/26, 54%) preferred visual educational learning aids and could accurately describe important aspects of care. Most parents (23/26, 88%) and all 6 clinicians felt a mobile application for post-operative care education would be helpful.Conclusions:Most parents received education on the day of discharge and could describe the information they received prior to discharge, although there were some preparedness gaps identified after discharge. Clinicians and parents varied in their perceptions of the readiness for discharge. Most responses suggest that a mobile application for discharge education may be helpful for transition to home.

A mixed audience of health professionals at a recent Mental Health Film Council screening welcomed this video which shows a variety of community-based initiatives. Most participants thought it would be useful in several contexts, for fellow professionals and for the general public. Those working with individuals who are ill, have a handicap or are old could be helped by the video, it was believed, to clarify their own attitudes to institutions: local residents might be introduced to the idea of care in their own community.

There is no such science as medicine where half life is 7 years, what means that in 3-4 years 50% of current knowledge will be wrong. If doctors use old techniques and methods then they will cure patients wrongly. Very fast and rapid increase of biomedical sciences and medical information in certain way force medical professionals to continuity learning in order to stay update. In this project a quantitative method of examination has been used. For the purposes of the research a survey questionnaires were created consisted of 28, 35 and 18 questions for all three groups of examinees. Beside general characteristics (sex, age, faculty, and year of studies) the questionnaire included questions referring to the variables of structure, process and results in the system of education. Authors used Lickert five degree scale for the evaluation. Total of 521 students of the faculties of biomedical science in Sarajevo were surveyed; students of the Faculty of Medicine, Faculty of Dental Medicine (Stomatology), Faculty of Pharmacy, Nursing College, students of final year and postgraduate students from Faculty of Medicine, University of Sarajevo. On the basis of survey results authors concluded that the following should be done: The reform needs to be carried out in accordance with possibilities and needs, general faculty rules should include regulations that refer to insuring the quality of education, a continuous quality of studying needs to be insured - internal and external evaluation of the quality of work of respective education institution needs to be carried out, education standards need to be set, i.e. minimum knowledge and skills which a student needs to gain during studies is to be set, curriculums and programs need to be harmonized with countries in the region and Western Europe, Regular evaluation of lecturers needs to be done, Increase of size and content of the practical part of teaching needs to be encouraged as well as distance learning organized on Cathedra for Medical Informatics and Family Medicine at Faculty of Medicine in Sarajevo, increase of international and regional mobility of students needs to be encouraged, students need to be included in the faculty reform, panel discussions need to be organized where students will be informed on the reform progress, where students can talk about their problems, give suggestions and solutions to certain situations. Students are motivated to study further when their ideas are accepted, the number of books in libraries needs to increase in accordance with financial possibilities and audio/visual and electronic aids need to be purchased and in place. Concept of quality incorporates at least three dimensions and has three different meanings. Those are: - Comparative meaning in terms of the level of perfectionist, - Quantitative meaning in terms of the level accessed and - Appropriateness for certain purpose. Objective of this study is to begin process of improvement of educational process at biomedical faculties at University of Sarajevo, but ultimate goal of all involved in medical education should be large number of health professionals who will be able to work independently and cure patients in best manner in 21st century.

Abstract Introduction Falls in hospital cause significant morbidity and mortality for older patients, with 10-25% inpatient falls resulting in lacerations or fractures [Rubenstein, Age Ageing, 2006 Sep; 35Suppl 2:ii37–41]. In addition to patient individual falls risk factors, such as delirium, visual impairment and poor mobility, environmental factors should also be addressed to reduce inpatient falls risk. Methods An audit of the individual patient's environment or bed space was performed using the Queensland Health Individual Environment Checklist [The Victorian Quality Council Safety and Quality in Health]. Older people aged 65 years and older admitted to the medical wards in Raja Isteri Pengiran Anak Saleha (RIPAS) hospital, Brunei were included. Patients who were bed-bound or immobile were excluded from the audit. Results There were 30 patients included in this audit. 13 (43%) were male and 17 (57%) female. Median age was 74 years (Range 65 to 83 years). Several issues were identified from this audit: Although bedside tables and lockers were wheeled with a braking system, they were not secure enough to support a patient if they leaned against them. While 28 (93%) had functioning call bells, none of the patients were shown how to operate them. 22 (73%) did not have easy access to call-bells or night-lights. 14 (47%) did not have bedside lockers or tables within easy reach. 17 (57%) did not have mobility aids within reach or received education regarding safety with mobility aid use. Conclusion This audit highlighted several aspects of the individual patient environment in hospital that should be improved to reduce falls risk. For the medical wards, we recommend ensuring hospital furniture are sturdy enough in case patients lean on them and frequently checking ease of access to call-bells, night lights, walking aids and locker belongings.

Adolescence is considered a critical period in life because of the transition from childhood to adult life which requires information and knowledge about HIV/AIDS. The human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) is defined as a decrease in human immunity caused by a virus. One of teenagers’ health issues is HIV/AIDS where its case always increases year by year. This research aimed to find out the effect of audio visual promotion media towards the improvement of teenagers’ knowledge and attitude about HIV/AIDS. It was a quasy experiment with one group pre-test and post-test. It was conducted start from March to August 2020. There were 43 respondents participated in this study. The result shows that teenagers’ knowledge increased after provided health promotion by using audio visual media. The Z value shows -3.819b with p-value 0.000 or p<0.05 which means there is an effect before and after provided health promotion using audio visual media. Teenager’s attitude increased after provided health promotion by using audio visual media. The Z value is -3.873b with p-value 0.000 or p<0.05 which means there is an attitude influence before and after provided with health promotion by using audio visual media. Audio visual can be used as health promotion in teenagers.
