Full textAbstract:
Fictional medical programs are often used for more than just their recreational enjoyment; they can also influence career decision making. Very little research has examined the pedagogical value of fictional medical programs in terms of their motivational value in the choice of a nursing career. As such, the aim of this study was to examine what motivated nursing students to choose nursing careers, if fictional medical programs were motivators, and if they are used by students as a learning tool. The cross-sectional study collected data using a questionnaire and occurred between April and June 2018. The findings were generated from students’ short answers and extended responses within the questionnaire. Data were analysed using descriptive and inferential statistics, while qualitative data were analysed thematically. A total of 291 students participated (82.6% response rate), with motivations for entering nursing being similar to other international studies; however, as motivators, fictional medical television programs were rated higher than job security. Overall, students engage with medical television programs along a television–learning continuum, ranging from limited watching time, recognising inaccuracies, understanding dialogue, through to using fictional medical television programs as tools for learning. However, this is dependent on time, interest, current level of understanding, and a program’s perceived value.

Full textAbstract:
The scripts of 288 television episodes were analysed to determine the extent to which vocabulary reoccurs in television programs from the same subgenres and unrelated television programs from different genres. Episodes from two programs from each of the following three subgenres of the American drama genre: medical, spy/action, and criminal forensic investigation were compared with different sets of random episodes. The results showed that although there were an equivalent number of running words in each set of episodes, the episodes from programs within the same subgenre contained fewer word families than random programs. The findings also showed that low frequency word families (4000-14,000 levels) reoccur more often in programs within the same subgenre. Together the results indicate that watching programs within the same subgenre may be an effective approach to language learning with television because it reduces the lexical demands of viewing and increases the potential for vocabulary learning.

Objective:To determine the representation of Tourette Syndrome (TS) in fictional movies and television programs by investigating recurrent themes and depictions.Background:Television and film can be a source of information and misinformation about medical disorders. Tourette Syndrome has received attention in the popular media, but no studies have been done on the accuracy of the depiction of the disorder.Methods:International internet movie databases were searched using the terms “Tourette’s”, “Tourette’s Syndrome”, and “tics” to generate all movies, shorts, and television programs featuring a character or scene with TS or a person imitating TS. Using a grounded theory approach, we identified the types of characters, tics, and co-morbidities depicted as well as the overall representation of TS.Results:Thirty-seven television programs and films were reviewed dating from 1976 to 2010. Fictional movies and television shows gave overall misrepresentations of TS. Coprolalia was overrepresented as a tic manifestation, characters were depicted having autism spectrum disorder symptoms rather than TS, and physicians were portrayed as unsympathetic and only focusing on medical therapies. School and family relationships were frequently depicted as being negatively impacted by TS, leading to poor quality of life.Conclusions:Film and television are easily accessible resources for patients and the public that may influence their beliefs about TS. Physicians should be aware that TS is often inaccurately represented in television programs and film and acknowledge misrepresentations in order to counsel patients accordingly.

<p>This article concerns health programs that the Danish public service broadcaster DR produced from the 1990s to 2012. The study is based on a qualitative content analysis of selected health programs and considers the purpose of the programs, their generic composition, and their positioning of the viewer as well as their intention to communicate knowledge about health. The article is theoretically informed by mediatization theory and demonstrates how the medium of television influences the discursive construction of health in factual programming. In the early 1990s, television relied primarily on health expertise from institutions outside of the media, and the programs made use of external experts. Today, the media to a greater extent creates its own know-how experts, who are produced and tailored to the needs of television and the demand for dramatically successful entertainment. This article demonstrates how the early factual programs were dominated by information on illness, medical treatment, and nursing care, communicated by medical experts and laymen. Today’s programs present health as an individual and entrepreneurial project that rapidly changes and improves the individual’s lifestyle and behavior.</p>

Background: Television is not only a source of entertainment but also a major source of information including that related to health content. So this study was conducted to know the role of television in awareness about health programs and their utility.Methods:In this cross-sectional study, 1000 respondents (500 urban and 500 rural) were studied in 5 rural and 5 urban from field practice area of Government Medical College, Amritsar. They were interviewed with the help of pretested and semi-structured questionnaire.Results: Almost all the respondents had watched television with 94% respondents in rural and 100% in urban. Those respondents who did not watched were due to non availability of television sets. Majority 3/4 of the respondents spent half to 2 hour per day watching television. Almost 2/3 of total respondents were aware about health related programs being shown on television and out of these 79.00% were actually watching these programs. 42.16% respondents were aware about health related advertisements. Respondents using these products 91.20% followed through self awareness whereas 8.80% were motivated by someone.Conclusions:Television viewing is almost a universal phenomenon but still in areas where it is more needed very few were being aware about health related content being shown on television and even those who were aware were not watching these programs.

Teachers know that educational experiences extend far beyond the classroom. With a wide variety of science-related programs on television, there is a need for more research into how these programs can be utilized in a classroom setting. In this mixed-methods study, we asked the question: Can student understanding of human physiology be improved through the use of multimedia resources, specifically through the use of popular television? Episodes of Fox's popular medical drama "House, M.D." were incorporated into high school biology curricula during instructional units on two body systems: the nervous system and the immune system. Through the use of integrated media and classroom discussions, students were exposed to the social aspect of learning as they worked together to analyze what they viewed on TV. This study was conducted over a traditional school year in a general biology class at a lower-socioeconomic urban high school.

Full textAbstract:
The research is aimed at determining the relationship between the scientific and oral discourse of various Iranian television programs and the development of Persian vocabulary in the media before and after the revolution. Colloquial vocabulary (spoken language and sometimes slang) makes up a significant part of the general vocabulary of Iranian television. It differs from oral literature at all linguistic stages. Professor of Moscow State University V. At the 3rd International Symposium of Teachers of Persian Language and Literature Ivanov noted the absence of recommendations for the study of Persian oral speech (2002). He also talked about the importance of Persian language scholars watching Iranian films. But there is a problem: even students studying Persian for 3 years could not understand the speech on the screen. This suggests that you should pay attention to the Persian spoken language, as well as its vocabulary and phraseology.

ABSTRACT:Objectives:The objective of this study was to investigate whether medical television dramas portray proper seizure first aid.Methods:Episodes of the four highest-rated US medical dramas (“Grey's Anatomy,” “House M.D.”, “Private Practice,” and “ER”) were screened for the presence of seizures. “Patient” age, sex, semiology, and etiology were recorded. The appropriateness of seizure first aid management was determined by comparison to the Epilepsy Foundation of America (EFA) guidelines.Results:Among 364 television programs, 65 seizures (in 59 individuals) were identified (30 males; 29 females). Seizures were primary or secondarily generalized tonic-clonic in 53 (81.5%) cases. Other seizure types included complex partial (5, 7.7%), simple partial (1, 1.5%), myoclonic (1, 1.5%), absence (1,1.5%), and psychogenic (1, 1.5%). On 63 occasions (96.9%), first aid was performed by a health care professional. First aid management was judged appropriate in 21 (32.3%) seizures, inappropriate in 28 (43.1%), and indeterminate in 16 (24.6%). Inappropriate practices included holding the person down (17, 26.2%), trying to stop the involuntary movements (10, 15.4%) and putting something in the person's mouth (11, 16.9%).Conclusions:The first aid management of seizures performed by actors portraying health care professionals was inappropriate in nearly half of all cases. Inaccurate depiction of seizure first aid management may contribute to misinformation of the general public. The television industry could easily incorporate the simple first aid EFA seizure guidelines as a public service without sacrificing dramatic impact.

There is developing public interest in strange and rare medical conditions, as evidenced by the popularity of television programs such as Discovery Life’s Mystery Diagnosis and Animal Planet’s Monsters Inside Me. Of reference works about rare conditions, many focus on specialized topics or are intended for health practitioners. Here, the author, Evelyn B. Kelly, writes in her introduction: “this book is intended for a lay audience who does not necessarily want or need to know all of the medical minutiae related to a particular condition” (xiv). Consequently, The 101 Most Unusual Diseases and Disorders may be an appropriate addition for some non-medical libraries.

Full textAbstract:
Background: Plastic surgery as a discipline is poorly understood by many, including primary care physicians, nurses, medical students, and the public. These misconceptions affect the specialty in a number of ways, including referral patterns and recruitment of medical students into residency programs. The reason for these commonly held misconceptions has not yet been addressed in the plastic surgery literature. As such, we assessed medical students’ knowledge and perceptions of plastic surgery as a discipline and explored factors influencing these opinions. Methods: To assess medical students’ knowledge and perceptions of plastic surgery, we conducted an online survey. A total of 231 medical students responded. Interviews were then conducted with 2 focus groups, in which we explored the survey results and reasons behind these misconceptions. Results: As with previous studies, medical students showed a gap in knowledge with respect to plastic surgery. Although they were generally aware that plastic surgeons perform cosmetic procedures and treat burns, they were largely unaware that plastic surgeons perform hand and craniofacial surgeries. Focus groups revealed that television plays a large role in shaping their ideas of plastic surgery. Conclusion: Medical students have a skewed perception of the discipline of plastic surgery, and this is largely influenced by television. Interventions aimed at educating medical students on the matter are recommended, including a greater presence in the preclerkship medical school curriculum.

Compressed/interactive video is a relatively new format for providing preservice and inservice courses to rural and/or remote areas (Willis, 1993). At the University of Kansas Medical Center only two programs, those of Nursing and the Deaf Education, have engaged in this format of distance education. While the methodology was expected to assist graduate students in areas of the state who could not travel to participate in courses on one of the three urban campuses, it was also expected to challenge instructors to teach effectively while still encouraging active learning activities. Surveys of questions to rural and urban students were given to 13 graduate students in two courses in the fall of 1992, and to three additional students in the fall of 1993. Analyzed results documented the success of the compressed/interactive (ITV) video teaching format for this small group of master level students in Kansas.

AbstractTelehealth is a proven modality to better patient care, reduce health care cost, and increase provider efficiency. This article outlines the necessary steps for starting a telehealth program at a medical center or practice. A review of the current literature and health care-related laws was undertaken to identify the necessary steps and considerations for starting a telehealth program. Bootstrapping a telehealth program starts with the creation of concept and identification of need. Generation of a hotbed of support, from providers and patients, is key in gaining executive interest and idea investment. Development of a defined plan of implementation with the utilization of already available technologic assets facilitates ease of execution. Creation of a televisit platform, a patient portal for enrollment, and dedicated provider time for televisits to occur are the next steps in plan realization. Measuring results of patient satisfaction, number of visits, cost reduction, and scheduled procedures are powerful tools in support of the multifaceted expansion of a telehealth program. The authors believe that telehealth programs are critical to advancing patient care, reduction of costs, and increased productivity in the future of medicine.

Abstract Introduction Sleep duration is associated with obesity in Latino/a children. However, little is known about Latino/a children’s bedtime behaviors who have a higher prevalence of obesity compared to white children. An improved understanding of Latino/a children’s bedtime behaviors is warranted to inform health promotion programs in this population. The purpose of this study was to examine bedtime activities and behaviors with sleep characteristics of Latino/a children. Methods Children of Mexican descent (8-10 years old) and their mothers (N=32) from the San Francisco Bay Area were invited to participate in a 3-week crossover study. Mothers completed a questionnaire on sleep behaviors (e.g., duration, disturbances) and activities 1 hour before bed (e.g., television viewing in bed, eating or drinking). Mother and child anthropometrics were measured. Preliminary bivariate analyses included: (1) a linear regression examining child weekday sleep duration (dependent) with child behavior before bed (independent), and (2) a logistic regression examining child sleep disturbances (dependent) with child behavior before bed (independent). Results The average child age was 9.71 (SD = 0.96); almost half of children were obese (47%) and their mothers (53%). Children slept on average 10.07 (SD= 2.36) hours on weekdays and 10.31 on weekends (SD = 2.21); 26% of children experienced difficulty falling asleep ≥ 1per week, 52% watched television in the hour before bed, and 21% watched television to fall asleep ≥ 1 per week. Mothers slept on average 6.07 (SD = 1.57) on weekends and 6.99 (SD =5.75) on weekdays. In the hour before bed, children consumed/drank cereal and/or waffles (59%), drank plain milk (38%), drank flavored milk (19%), and juice (16%). Watching television to fall asleep was associated with shorter sleep duration (B = -0.45, P = 0.03), with a trend toward significance with increased odds of difficulty falling asleep (OR = 5.0, P = 0.09). Conclusion Watching television to fall asleep may be a risk factor for shorter sleep duration and difficulty falling asleep. A larger study to examine sleep related factors, such as unhealthy practices before bed, is warranted to understand the high obesity prevalence among Latino/a children.

Full textAbstract:
Entrepreneurship is reflected in mass media and pop culture by television shows like Shark Tank and The Profit. In fact, entrepreneurship was characterized as the hype of the 1990s (De Leeuw, 1999) and entrepreneurship education has since been described as booming (Fayolle, 2013). The increase in college degree programs in entrepreneurship has been documented by a range of researchers (Jones et al., 2012; Kuratko, 2005; Wakefield, 2012). Recently, such entrepreneurship programs have begun to extend across campuses and beyond the walls of business schools. Such cross campus programs are currently to be found in curricula in the arts, the sciences, and engineering, as well as in medical schools (Nambisan, 2015). The aim of the present paper is to describe an interdepartmental entrepreneurship curriculum with extra-curricular activities developed at DePaul University in Chicago, Illinois, for graduate students in public health. Before describing this entrepreneurship curriculum, the changing healthcare landscape is briefly reviewed; the conceptual links between entrepreneurship and the social determinants model of health explored, and entrepreneurship education in the health professions discussed. Shepherd and Patzelt (2015) assert that entrepreneurship scholarship has pushed health topics largely to the periphery. This paper represents an attempt to bring entrepreneurial education among public health professionals closer to the core of healthcare.

Full textAbstract:
The pervasive acceptability of a revolution from monodirectional push-based media broadcasting to a bidirectional interactive pull-based internet protocol television (IPTV) has spotted significant development in recent years. The pervasive acceptability is because of the mammoth number of exhilarating television (TV) channels that IPTV offers. However, the channel switching feature of a TV system requires additional development despite the increased implementation of IPTV systems worldwide. Subscribers of IPTV services must be able to swiftly explore live TV stations and video contents of interest seamlessly, but zapping delay is a deterrent that occurs during a channel change that causes a significant glitch in IPTV systems. Many of the literature approaches such as channel prediction based on behavior analysis have shown flaws in resolving zapping delay. The approach of this study uses adaptive channel switching with a personalized electronic program guide to resolving zapping delay. The resolution saves the subscribers the time of channel navigation by eliminating the need to search for channels they want to view.

Abstract Background Information provided for patients is an essential factor for communication between patients and health-care professionals. To analyze the most used sources of medical information and requested media for patient information, a questionnaire study was initiated. Methods A single-center questionnaire study at an outpatient clinic at a tertiary care hospital. Two hundred participating patients, average age 54.4 years (1:1.5 m:f). Results were displayed in total and as count per participant (i. e., how often is a medium mentioned per participant). Results As a source for general information, printed media are mentioned 112 times (0.56 counts per participant), the Internet 125 (0.62), and television 124 (0.62). As a source for medical information, printed media were mentioned 84 times (0.42) and the Internet 133 (0.67). As the most requested source for additional patient information, printed media were mentioned 105 times (0.53) and medical apps 63 (0.32). Conclusion A majority of our patients regularly use the Internet for medical information. Paper-print media are still highly requested by patients. New media are more often requested in younger patients but still reach the ages for screening programs and therefore offer big opportunities towards patient-doctor communication. By a good mixture of media provided a higher patient satisfaction and adherence could be ensured by the health-care professionals.

Full textAbstract:
Latinos remain the largest US population with limited health literacy (Andrulis D.P. & Brach, 2007). Concerned with how local media can meet the information needs of underserved audiences, we interviewed Latinas who were pregnant or mothers of young children living in a Spanish speaking community, and surveyed 33 local health professionals. Findings are that Latina women’s most common source of health information was family and friends. They said they tune to Spanish television and radio programs, but gave low grades to news media for health information. Medical professionals agreed that Latinas generally get their health information through friends and family, and rated the media poorly in terms of serving Latinas’ needs. Since the data indicate that the local news media are not serving Latinas’ health information needs as much as they could, we offer recommendations to potentially exploit new technological affordances and suggest expansion of conventional definitions of health literacy.

Objective To assess the level of knowledge, perceptions and usage profile for generic drugs among laypersons. Methods A cross-sectional study was conducted with 278 volunteers (180 women and 98 men, aged 37.1±15.8 years). A questionnaire was drawn up with questions on their use, perceptions and knowledge of generic drugs. Results Most respondents (99.6%) knew that generic drugs exist, but only 48.6% were able to define them correctly, while 78.8% of the respondents had some information about generics. This information was obtained mainly through television (49.3%). In terms of generic drug characteristics, 79.1% stated that they were confident about their efficacy, 74.8% believed that generic drugs have the same effect as branded medications, 88.8% said that generics were priced lower than branded medications, and 80.2% stated that they bought generic drugs because of price. With regard to drugs prescribed by medical practitioners, 17.6% of the participants said that their doctors never prescribed generics and only 7.5% confirmed that their doctors always prescribed generics. Conclusion For the lay public, the sample in this study has sufficient knowledge of generic drugs in terms of definition, efficacy and cost. Consequently, the volunteers interviewed are very likely to use generics. Furthermore, the results of this study indicate that programs should be implemented in order to boost generic drug prescriptions by medical practitioners.

OBJECTIVE: TO increase the understanding of asthma among patients and the general public in Sweden and to increase the collaboration among healthcare personnel for the benefit of asthma patients. DESIGN: Based on the results from problem detection studies, Apoteksbolaget the national organization for pharmacies in Sweden, designed a program to educate healthcare professionals and the public about asthma. Entitled the “Asthma Year,” all pharmacy staffs were offered education on asthma, patients were provided written information and audiovisual materials, and the general public was made more aware of asthma through local media. SETTING: Pharmacies, healthcare centers, hospital outpatient areas, libraries, places of work, and domestic airports. PARTICIPANTS: All pharmacy staffs (12 000 persons) were offered an education on asthma. Patients with asthma were offered brochures and leaflets in pharmacies and information in the pharmacy magazine Apoteket. The general public received information about asthma through posters, radio, and television. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: The evaluations of the Asthma Year indicate that the activities had an impact on the public, on patients with asthma, and on the pharmacy staffs. RESULTS: About 4.5 million people in Sweden (42% of the population) observed the Asthma Year or received information about asthma, and 49% of the patients learned something new about their disease. Twice as many patients used steroid therapy regularly after the campaign than before. Of the pharmacy staffs, 96% were favorable to the idea of working with campaign years and 85% believed that they were personally involved with the activities. CONCLUSIONS: Patient outcomes in terms of reduced morbidity have not been possible to document, but the number of deaths from asthma in Sweden decreased from 438 during the previous year to 398 during the Asthma Year.

Background: The prevalence of smoking has increased in recent years in Saudi Arabia. Our objectives were to determine the factors affecting smoking among physicians and to assess physicians’ quitting behavior. Methods: A cross-sectional study was carried out at 3 district hospitals in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. It involved physicians with different levels of experience and different specialties. They were asked to complete a self-administered questionnaire adapted from validated tools. The questionnaire addressed sociodemographic data, lifestyle, and work-related factors as well as smoking cessation and relapse. SPSS statistical software was used for the statistical analysis. Results: The study included 290 physicians, of whom 91% were Saudi and 59.7% were male. About 55.2% were younger than age of 30. Overall, 34.8% were smokers. The following factors had a significant association with smoking: a smoking family member/friend, resident occupational status, medical specialty, and frequent on-call duties increased the likelihood of smoking. One-third of the physicians (31.6%) who tried to quit smoking reported seeking information on social media, television, and/or the internet. The most common causes of relapse were social stress and withdrawal symptoms, while the least common was work-related stress. Conclusions: Smoking was highly prevalent among physicians. The likelihood of smoking was higher in, residents, medical specialists and those with a high number of on-call duties. Moreover, this study described cessation practices in this group, which might be considered when designing and improving counseling programs for physicians who smoke.

Full textAbstract:
Food advertisements (ads) in TV programs influence food choice and have been associated with higher energy intake from snacks in children; however, their effects at mealtime have not been reported. Therefore, we measured energy intake at a pizza meal consumed by normal weight (NW) and overweight/obese (OW/OB) children (aged 9–14 years) while they watched a TV program with or without food ads and following pre-meal consumption of a sweetened beverage with or without calories. NW and OW/OB boys (experiment 1, n = 27) and girls (experiment 2, n = 23) were randomly assigned to consume equally sweetened drinks containing glucose (1.0 g/kg body weight) or sucralose (control). Food intake was measured 30 min later while children watched a program containing food or nonfood ads. Appetite was measured before (0–30 min) and after (60 min) the meal. Both boys and girls reduced energy intake at the meal in compensation for energy in the glucose beverage (p < 0.05). Food ads resulted in further compensation (51%) in boys but not in girls. Food ads increased energy intake at the meal (9%; p = 0.03) in OW/OB girls only. In conclusion, the effects of TV programs with food ads on mealtime energy intake and response to pre-meal energy consumption in children differ by sex and body mass index.

Full textAbstract:
Purpose: The communication by pharmaceutical companies of promotional messages about their products has long been controversial, but deemed to be necessary by the pharmaceutical industry so that health care professionals and in some cases patients/consumers can be made aware of the latest developments through the communication vehicles they are accustomed to seeing – in the case of health care professionals, through medical advertising, direct mail, visits by company representatives, and attendance at medical meetings, and in case of patients, through the news media and television advertising. On the other hand, critics argue that such promotion, which sometimes reduces complex medical issues to advertising slogans, is inappropriate for products intended to treat and cure diseases, and that health care professionals should learn about new products from peer-reviewed medical literature. Consequently, advertising, and promotional programs are heavily regulated by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). However, the laws themselves raise constitutional issues of infringement on free speech. Over the past few years, a number of lawsuits have been decided that help clarify the role of the FDA and the extent of its authority in regulating what companies or their employees say about their products. These court decisions are important because they help define how health care professionals and patients/consumers receive medical information. Methods: This overview is intended to identify, in non-technical language, some of the more controversial and challenging issues involved in the FDA’s efforts to regulate marketing communications by drug companies and how the courts view them. Results: The recent lawsuits often involve complex and far-reaching legal issues. But when examined in toto, as this paper does, they have reflected a view by the courts that truthful and non-misleading statements by drug companies about their products can be legally communicated even when the medical information is not formally approved by the FDA and included in the FDA-approved labeling. The lawsuits thus have led to an environment in which the FDA continues to oversee with great fervor the activities of drug companies in communicating medical information but at the same time having some flexibility in keeping health care professionals and patients up to date with th latest information about medical research and new therapeutic products. Conclusion: How pharmaceutical products are marketed has been deemed by the U.S. Congress to be important enough to need to be subject to federal regulation. The issues create a tension between the need for medical information to be accurate and balanced, and the guarantees of free speech. This review provides an important perspective on how this tension is being resolved, even as dramatic advances in both medical products and technology create new challenges.

Full textAbstract:
Objective To explore why patients in Hong Kong seek medical advice from the emergency department (ED) and to identify the methods by which patients would prefer to be updated on the likely waiting time for medical consultation in the ED. Methods The study recruited 249 semi-urgent and non-urgent patients in the ED of Prince of Wales Hospital from 26th September 2005 to 30th September 2005 inclusive. A convenience sample of subjects aged ≥15 years old in triage categories 4 or 5 were verbally consented and interviewed by research nurses using a standardized questionnaire. Results From 1715 potential patients, 249 were recruited ad hoc (mean age 44 years [SD18]; 123 females). About 63% indicated that an acceptable ED waiting time was less than or equal to two hours, and 88% felt that having individual number cards and using a number allocation screen in the ED waiting area would be useful. Perceived reasons for attending the ED rather than other health care providers such as primary health care or the general outpatient clinic (GOPC) included: a desire for more detailed investigations (56%); a perception that more professional medical advice was given in the ED (35%); patients were under the continuing care of the hospital (19%); and patients were referred to the ED by other health care professionals (11%). Notably, 26% of participants had considered attending the GOPC prior to attending the ED. Patients educated to tertiary level expected a shorter waiting time than those educated to lesser degrees (p=0.026, Kruskal-Wallis test). Suggestions were made on how to provide a more pleasant ED environment for the wait for consultations, which included the provision of a television screen with sound in the waiting area (43%), more comfortable chairs (37%) and health care promotion programs (32%). Conclusion Patients chose ED services because they believed they would receive more detailed investigations and more professional medical advice than available alternatives. Clear notification of the likely waiting times and enhancement of comfort before consultation are considered desirable by patients. Enhanced public education about the role of the ED and making alternatives to ED care more accessible may be useful in reducing inappropriate ED attendances in Hong Kong.

In spite of various effective intervention programs, the under-5 child mortality rate (U5MR) is still high in Bangladesh. The present paper focused on the levels, trends and determinants of U5MR in Bangladesh utilizing data from Bangladesh Demographic and Health Survey (BDHS), 2007. Differential pattern in U5MR in Bangladesh was examined using life table technique as a bi-variate analysis and Cox proportional hazard model was used to analyze the determinants of U5MR mortality. Data from BDHS (2007) showed that U5MR during the five years preceding the survey was 65 per 1,000 live births, i.e. one in fifteen children born in Bangladesh died before reaching the fifth birthday. The risk of dying in the first month of life (37 per 1,000) was nearly two and a half times greater than in the subsequent 11 months (15 per 1,000). Deaths in the neonatal period accounted for 57 percent of all under-five deaths. In the Cox proportional hazard model analysis, factors such as the place of residence, parents education, fathers working status, sources of drinking water, type of toilet facility, wealth status, watching of television, mothers age, months of breastfeeding, birth interval had significant influence on infant and child mortality. The most significant predictors of neonatal, post-neonatal, infant and child mortality were residence, parents education, type of toilet facility, wealth status, watching TV, months of breastfeeding, and birth interval. Despite the improvement of medical technology, child mortality remained alarmingly high, indicating that demographic, socioeconomic, household and environmental conditions must be improved to substantially reduce child mortality in this population.

Full textAbstract:
Cholera, which was unknown in Africa south of the Sahara, became an identifiable disease in South Africa in 1919. In the 1970's, 5 cases were diagnosed in people coming into South Africa from countries to the north. Instructions regarding Cholera surveillance were circulated in 1979 following an outbreak in Maputo. There was no evidence of any case of cholera acquired in South Africa before September 1980. Within 12 days, there were 23 proven cases ofVibrio cholera, El Tor biotype, among Africans who obtained drinking water from an irrigation canal off the Crocodile River midway between Nelspruit and Kaapmuiden. Five hundred forty-six cases had been identified by the end of February 1981 and more are expected.On 13 October 1980, a team of health officials collected at Nelspruit to coordinate measures to contain the epidemic. They included chlorination of the irrigation canal, water surveillance of local rivers by sampling or leaving Moore pads in situ, increasing the number of staff and strengthening equipment at local laboratories, educating local medical and nursing staff in patient management and providing adequate stocks of intravenous fluids and tetracycline. Patients' contacts were traced, their homes inspected, their water supply sources and means of sewage disposal checked and the public educated in cholera prevention. There were regular press statements, radio talks, television programs and the broadcasting of educational leaflets to warn the population to take precautions. It was decided not to hold a mass immunization campaign nor to administer preventive antibiotics.

Full textAbstract:
Objective: to determine the level of awareness of the doping issues among adolescents aged 10–19 years who are engaged in amateur sports as a part of high performance sport.Materials and methods: a special survey of 106 respondents was conducted to assess attitudes towards doping and the level of awareness in anti-doping issues. The average age of the respondents was 17.33 ± 1.54 years.Results: despite the fact that 96 % of the respondents stated that they know what doping is, generally, there is a low level of awareness among young athletes in anti-doping issues. One fourth of the respondents can justify the use of doping, only 13.2 % of adolescents believe that winning a competition with the use of doping can be considered as a well-deserved victory. More than 56 % of the respondents do not warn medical staff that they are athletes, only 32.1 % of adolescents are interested in whether medications prescribed or taken by themselves are included in the prohibited list. The study found that the main sources of information on anti-doping rules for adolescent athletes are television (64.1 %) and specialized websites (47.2 %).Conclusion: the study results revealed the need to popularize information on anti-doping issues. Educational programs should be carried out taking into account the psychological and emotional characteristics of adolescents and include actively promoting doping awareness both using conventional media and new media resources, such as the Internet and social networks.

e12561 Background: Nearly 70% of the 7.6 million cancer deaths occur annually in developing countries like Tanzania, with breast cancer being among the most common causes of cancer mortality. Although data are incomplete, late-stage disease is believed to limit breast cancer control in Tanzania, with delayed diagnosis linked to low levels of breast cancer awareness among women. The goal of this study was to explore awareness of this disease among low-income women accessing routine medical care from three district hospitals in Dar es Salaam, Tanzania. Methods: This survey-based study examined participants' knowledge, attitudes, and beliefs regarding breast cancer causes, risk factors, symptoms, early detection measures, treatment, and preferred education sources. Sociodemographic variations in knowledge of breast cancer risk factors, symptoms, and treatments were assessed. Results: Two hundred and twenty-five women, ages 18-55 years, participated. Over half (52%) reported a primary school education or less; 69.9% were married; 26.2% were unemployed. The average monthly household income was just below the Dar es Salaam mean. Ninety-eight percent were aware of breast cancer; 22% knew someone with a history of breast cancer. Among the 126 women who heard of breast self exam, 25% and 34% practiced it regularly and occasionally, respectively; 41% never practiced it. Only 6.2% had regular clinical breast exams. A minority knew of mammography (32%); <2% had undergone a mammogram. Of the items listed, respondents correctly identified symptoms (51%), risk factors (31%), and treatments (51%). Data reflecting sociodemographic variations in knowledge will be shown. Preferred sources of breast cancer educational materials included group sessions, television or radio programs, and meetings with breast cancer survivors. Conclusions: This work provides valuable insight into preferred sources of breast cancer education among Tanzanian women.

Full textAbstract:
e18167 Background: In Australia over 50% of hepatocellular cancers (HCC) are diagnosed in immigrants born in viral hepatitis endemic areas. Therefore, increasing community awareness of viral hepatitis as a preventable and treatable cause of liver cancer is critical in designing community-based cancer prevention programs. Although 7% of Australians living with chronic hepatitis B (CHB) were born in Africa or the Middle East, limited information exists about these communities’ knowledge and beliefs around hepatitis and cancer. To assist the design of effective strategies for screening and treatment, we conducted a community consultation process among Arabic and Assyrian-speaking communities in Sydney, Australia. Methods: The consultation involved semi-structured interviews with key opinion leaders in the Arabic and Assyrian communities and focus group discussions (FGD) conducted in Arabic, Assyrian and English with community members. Interviews and discussion were digitally recorded, translated and transcribed. Framework analysis was employed for data analysis. Results: Twelve face to face semi-structured interviews were conducted with Arabic and Assyrian community leaders. Sixty-six participants, aged from 22 to 71 years took part in seven FGDs. Findings were highly confluent and highlighted a limited knowledge and understanding of hepatitis and of links to liver cancer. Hepatitis and cancer are stigmatising diseases and kept within the family. To mitigate the distress brought about by cancer, euphemisms and protective language are used and a cancer diagnosis is not disclosed to family members. Communities’ ability to engage with the health system is limited. Fear and past medical interactions influence decision about accessing care and education levels, health literacy and English proficiency are significant barriers to navigating the health system. The internet, doctors, television and radio are the communities’ main sources of health information. Conclusions: Reluctance to talk openly about hepatitis and cancer and widespread ‘cancer fatalism’ need to be considered in clinical interactions. Health information messages need to be tailored to patients’ cultural beliefs, couched in accessible terms and delivered through a range of communication channels.

AbstractBackground:In recent years, the perceived threat of chemical terrorism has increased. It is hoped that teaching civilians how to behave during a chemical incident will decrease the number of “worried well” patients at hospitals, reduce secondary contamination, and increase compliance with the instructions of emergency services. The governments of the United Kingdom and Israel sent booklets to every household in their respective countries. In Israel, the civilian population was issued chemical personal protective equipment (chemical personal protective equipment).Methods:The effectiveness of these public education programs was assessed using a scenario-based questionnaire that was distributed to 100 respondents in Birmingham, UK and Jerusalem, Israel. Respondents were asked how they would behave in three deliberate chemical release scenarios and how they would seek information and help.Results:Only 33% of the UK respondents and 22% of the Israeli respondents recalled reading the government booklets. When asked what they would do after being contaminated in a deliberate release, approximately half of the respondents ranked seeking medical care at a hospital as the most appropriate action.The preferred sources of information in the wake of a chemical strike were (in descending order): radio, television, and the Internet. Approximately half of the respondents would call emergency services for information. Forty-one percent of the UK respondents and 33% of Israeli respondents stated that they either would call or go to the nearest hospital to seek information.Conclusions:The public information campaigns in both countries have had a limited impact. Many citizens claimed they would self-present to the nearest hospital following a chemical attack rather than waiting for the emergency services. A similar response was witnessed in the Sarin attacks in Tokyo and the 1991 Scud missile attacks in Israel.Current UK doctrine mandates that specialist decontamination teams be deployed to the scene of a chemical release. However, this takes >1 hour, and it requires at least 30 minutes to don hospital chemical personal protective equipment. Therefore, it is imperative that hospitals are equipped to cope with unannounced self-presenters after a chemical attack. This requires chemical personal protective equipment and protocols that are easier to use.

OBJECTIVES/SPECIFIC AIMS: This study aims to describe adaptability in methods used to apply community input to programming within the field of translational science. The outcomes of community informed programming include opportunities for innovative projects and approaches, and better responsiveness to community needs. It is anticipated that this will result in greater community involvement in research, moving towards greater health equity. METHODS/STUDY POPULATION: The SC CTSI is situated in urban Los Angeles, one of the most diverse communities in the world. Eight SC CTSI Community Engagement Core initiatives that employ community partnership are illustrated. The activities include social marketing campaigns for cervical cancer prevention; use of community-embedded research ambassadors to increase scientific literacy in Latino and Black/African-American communities; use of innovative technologies to educate pediatric patients and families about clinical research; working with the entertainment industry to promote clinical research in popular television shows; a community advisory board that is tailored and embedded in each CSTA core group; a community based research dissemination program; an ad-hoc community advisory group assembled to adapt a research 101 curriculum for Black/African-American communities; and a series of listening sessions conducted throughout Los Angeles. RESULTS/ANTICIPATED RESULTS: Integration of community voices provide direction for future planning, programming and execution of all referenced initiatives. Ultimately, the goal for these discussions with community members is to develop innovative approaches to CTSA programming. DISCUSSION/SIGNIFICANCE OF IMPACT: Racial and ethnic minorities continue to experience underrepresentation in clinical research trials. CTSAs have been tasked with addressing barriers that have historically led to disparities in research participation, and by extension, the effectiveness of medical interventions in diverse populations. Community input is an invaluable source for knowledge and innovative ideas in how to increase involvement in various aspects of the research process, including dissemination, recruitment and enrollment in clinical trials. CTSAs have increasingly augmented Community Engagement programs within their respective cores to address population disparities. The approaches used to engage communities require an element of fluidity and flexibility, and a reliance on the input of community members, in order to maintain relevant and desired community engagement practices.

Background:2020 year has become a landmark for the medical care system around the world. A huge number of patients and doctors were involved in the fight against an unknown and rapidly spreading infection, while many patients with chronic diseases or those who were just planning to see a doctor were left without this opportunity. The consequence was the active development of the online format of patient-doctor communication.Objectives:To determine the value of conducting schools for patients with rheumatologic diseases or related complaints in a pandemic.Methods:On the basis of the Clinical Rheumatology Center of the Medical Association “New Hospital”, online schools were organized for patients with rheumatological diseases and complaints. In just 3 months, 6 schools were held, in which 299 people took part. At the end of each session, patients were asked to answer questions about the level of satisfaction and the value of the information received. The survey was conducted in Google form.Results:about 80% of the responders lived in the region where the schools were held, 20% were from other regions of Russia or other countries. One third of patients (33.9%) were 31-40 years old, a quarter (25%) were 51-60 years old, and every fifth (19.6) was from 61 to 70 years old. The overwhelming majority (61.1%) learned about the training from employees’ announcements or on the website of a medical organization. Interestingly, almost a third of the participants (31.9%) listened to the lecture to “prevent problems in the future” or “for general development,” the rest either get sick themselves or have relatives with these problems. The significance and usefulness of the school on a scale from 0 to 10 points was assessed by 75% participants at 10 points, another 21% from 7 to 9 points, and for 1 participant - by 3 and 4 points. When answering the question: “Will something change in the understanding of your disease or further managing after today’s lesson?” most of the listeners answered that “they are planning to change their lifestyle” (55.4%), a little less - “understands that you need to come to an in-person appointment” (27.4%), “listened due to problems with relatives” (30.4%) and “understands that it is necessary to adjust the treatment” (23.2%). 87.5% of the responders rated the degree of interest with which the teacher led the school at 10 points; all 100% of participants expressed a desire to attend the following events. When comparing the school with television programs or other similar events, 83.9% of people noted a higher level of information importance and 87.5% of accessibility of its presentation. All responders with a high probability were ready to recommend schools to another people (85.7% for 10 points), trust the doctor conducting such schools (94.6% for 10 points) and would turn to this doctor if possible (87.5% for 10 points). Also, all participants actively answered the question about the desired topic of future schools.Conclusion:the conducted evaluation of the online format of schools for patients with rheumatic diseases or complaints has confirmed the high satisfaction of patients with this form of communication, the presence of a certain “request” for such format, clarity and accessibility of the transmitted information. The most important result of the training can be considered the readiness of patients to change their lifestyle and the understanding that it is necessary to observe or consult a doctor.Disclosure of Interests:None declared

Full textAbstract:
Background: Although sleep has been identified as an important modifiable risk factor for sports injury, the effect of decreased sleep on sports injuries in adolescents is poorly studied. Purpose: To systematically review published literature to examine if a lack of sleep is associated with sports injuries in adolescents and to delineate the effects of chronic versus acute lack of sleep. Methods: PubMed and EMBASE databases were systematically searched for studies reporting statistics regarding the relationship between sleep and sports injury in adolescents aged <19 years published between 1/1/1997 and 12/21/2017. From included studies, the following information was extracted: bibliographic and demographic information, reported outcomes related to injury and sleep, and definitions of injury and decreased sleep. Additionally, a NOS (Newcastle-Ottawa Scale) assessment and an evaluation of the OCEM (Oxford Center for Evidence-Based Medicine) level of evidence for each study was conducted to assess each study’s individual risk of bias, and the risk of bias across all studies. Results: Of 907 identified articles, 7 met inclusion criteria. Five studies reported that adolescents who chronically slept poorly were at a significantly increased likelihood of experiencing a sports or musculoskeletal injury. Two studies reported on acute sleep behaviors. One reported a significant positive correlation between acutely poor sleep and injury, while the other study reported no significant correlation. In our random effects model, adolescents who chronically slept poorly were more likely to be injured than those who slept well (OR 1.58, 95% CI 1.05 to 2.37, p = 0.03). OCEM criteria assessment showed that all but one study (a case-series) were of 2b level of evidence—which is the highest level of evidence possible for studies which were not randomized control trials or systematic reviews. NOS assessment was conducted for all six cohort studies to investigate each study’s individual risk of bias. Five out of six of these studies received between 4 to 6 stars, categorizing them as having a moderate risk of bias. One study received 7 stars, categorizing it as having a low risk of bias. NOS assessment revealed that the most consistent source of bias was in ascertainment of exposure: all studies relied on self-reported data regarding sleep hours rather than a medical or lab record of sleep hours. Conclusions: Chronic lack of sleep in adolescents is associated with greater risk of sports and musculoskeletal injuries. Current evidence cannot yet definitively determine the effect of acute lack of sleep on injury rates. Our results thus suggest that adolescents who either chronically sleep less than 8 hours per night, or have frequent night time awakenings, are more likely to experience sports or musculoskeletal injuries.

This study aimed to explore the perceived barriers to physical activity among college students Study Design: Qualitative research design Eight focus group discussions on 67 college students aged 18-24 years (48 females, 19 males) was conducted on College premises. Data were analysed using inductive approach. Participants identified a number of obstacles to physical activity. Perceived barriers emerged from the analysis of the data addressed the different dimensions of the socio-ecological framework. The result indicated that the young adults perceived substantial amount of personal, social and environmental factors as barriers such as time constraint, tiredness, stress, family control, safety issues and much more. Understanding the barriers and overcoming the barriers at this stage will be valuable. Health professionals and researchers can use this information to design and implement interventions, strategies and policies to promote the participation in physical activity. This further can help the students to deal with those barriers and can help to instil the habit of regular physical activity in the later adult years.

Social communication media, and particularly television, constitute a significant part of the daily life of adults, adolescents and children. Access to this media has made watching television the main activity carried out by Chilean children during their free time in Chile. There is a great number of studies about children, youngsters and television, but only a few question why they watch television and what it is they like about it. This study addresses this issue, and, considering that Chilean studies on children indicate that 64.7% of them watch Cartoons, the paper focus on this type of television program for children. Los medios de comunicación social y en especial la televisión, constituyen parte importante en la vida cotidiana de los niños. En Chile el 95% de los hogares posee televisión y un 97% de los menores señalan saber utilizar el televisor. El acceso a este medio de comunicación social ha posibilitado que ver televisión sea la principal actividad que realizan los niños chilenos en su tiempo libre. Si se considera que los discursos audiovisuales inciden en la construcción que los niños hacen de la realidad social, es decir en la construcción de la identidad personal y en la adquisición de un conocimiento compartido del mundo, el tema de la televisión adquiere relevancia social, especialmente en relación al consumo televisivo infantil. En este país existe una gran cantidad de estudios sobre los niños y la televisión; la mayoría de estas investigaciones se preocupan de los efectos que los mass media producen en los niños y en gran parte son abordadas desde el punto de vista del adulto. Son escasos los estudios que se preguntan acerca de qué elementos rescatan los niños del mensaje medial y el uso que ellos le dan a estos mensajes. En el estudio que se presenta, se propone un cambio de enfoque. Se trata de ver el mensaje televisivo desde la perspectiva del niño y descubrir cómo él percibe y usa estos mensajes en la construcción de su visión de mundo. Considerando que los estudios realizados por el Consejo Nacional de Televisión señalan que un 64,7% de los niños ven dibujos animados, el estudio se centra en este tipo de programación infantil. La investigación corresponde a un estudio descriptivo de carácter cuanti y cualitativo con niños preescolares de distinto nivel socioeconómico, que asisten al segundo nivel de transición de establecimientos particulares, particulares subvencionados y públicos de la comuna de Concepción. Los objetivos generales de la investigación se enfocaron hacia determinar el contexto en el cual se produce el consumo televisivo de los niños preescolares y en conocer el impacto de los dibujos animados en el desarrollo cognitivo del niño preescolar. El estudio determina la frecuencia de acceso a la televisión de los niños, la modalidad de consumo, las preferencias respecto a los programas de dibujos animados que se emiten por la televisión, la relación entre las percepciones de los niños respecto de los dibujos animados y los distintos niveles socioeconómicos a los que pertenecen los preescolares de la muestra, así como el impacto de los dibujos animados en el desarrollo cognitivo de los menores. La investigación se llevó a cabo durante el 2004 y está enmarcada dentro del proyecto «Percepciones de los menores preescolares respecto de los dibujos animados» patrocinada por el Ministerio de Educación de Chile.

Full textAbstract:
A cardiac arrest victim’s chances of survival are largely dependant on the availability at the scene, of a witness familiar with CPR skills. Many efforts have been invested in teaching CPR skills to as many people as possible and new ways are constantly being researched to distribute and extend these skills to the wider population. We report a case whose survival was due to CPR performed by a lay family member with no previous official training in resuscitation. The rescuer admitted that she had recalled the CPR technique from a popular medical drama on television (TV) and that she was absolutely unaware of her CPR potential capabilities. TV producers and health policy makers should exploit highly rated TV feature programs such as medical dramas to transmit useful hidden messages such as CPR skill to the public. In due time this policy may prove to be a life saver.

Unhealthy food advertising can negatively impact children’s food preferences and nutritional health. In Canada, only companies participating in the self-regulatory Children’s Food and Beverage Advertising Initiative (CAI) commit to limiting unhealthy food advertising to children. We analyzed food advertising from 182 Canadian television stations in 2018. A principal component analysis explored patterns of advertising by 497 food companies and their targeting of preschoolers, children, adolescents, and adults. Chi-square analyses tested differences in the volume of advertising between target age groups by heavily advertising food companies and by CAI-participating and non-participating companies. In 2018, Maple Leaf Foods, Boulangerie St-Méthode, Exceldor Foods, Goodfood Market and Sobeys advertised most frequently during preschooler-programming. General Mills, Kellogg’s, the Topps Company, Parmalat and Post Foods advertised most frequently during child-programming, while Burger King, McDonald’s, General Mills, Kellogg’s and Wendy’s advertised most frequently during adolescent-programming. CAI-participating companies were responsible for over half of the food advertising broadcast during programs targeted to children (55%), while they accounted for less than half of the food advertising aired during programs targeting preschoolers (24%), adolescents (41%) and adults (42%). Statutory food advertising restrictions are needed to limit food companies’ targeting of young people on television in Canada.
Novelty:
•Advertising from fast food restaurant chains dominated television programming targeted to adolescents in 2018.
•Advertising from breakfast cereal, candy, and snack manufacturers dominated television programming targeted at children in 2018.
•Over 100 Canadian and transnational companies contravened broadcast restrictions on advertising to preschoolers in 2018.
