e18568 Background: Foreign-born Asians were less likely to utilize preventive care due to medicine beliefs, language barriers, insurance coverage, and more. Their perceptions of breast cancer risks and screening benefits for asymptomatic conditions may differ from individuals born in the United States. It is urgent for preventive health professionals to understand screening disparities in Asian Americans. Methods: Data from the California Health Interview Survey (CHIS) 2015-2016 were used. Multivariable adjusted logistic regressions were generalized to identify the up-to-date mammography screening in relation to socioeconomic, chronic health condition/health behavior, and preventive care utilization, stratified by race. Results: Of NH-White and Asian American women aged 40 and above (unweighted N = 13,451), 78.41% were NH-White, 25.38% were foreign-born, 56.88% spoke only English at home, and 6.44% were not currently insured. The prevalence for self-reported mammography screening in NH-White and Asian American women were 68.06% and 65.97%, respectively. Among Asian American women, the lowest rate of mammograms was in Koreans (55.29%) and Chinese (72.19%) had the highest rate (p = 0.6438). In NH-White women, place of birth, smoking status, borderline diabetes, high blood pressure, is currently insured, and having a preventive care visit in the past 12 months were significant factors. Within Asian American women, borderline hypertension and having a preventive care visit were significant factors, but not ethnicity. Conclusions: The findings indicate that mammogram disparity in relation to socioeconomics, health behaviors, preventive care utilization, and race. Further development of ethnic-specific cancer prevention strategies and policies that address the subgroup differences within the larger racial/ethnic population are needed. Public health outreach and cancer education should target Asian American women with borderline hypertension and no preventive care visits.

Avian influenza is currently a threat to global health. Prevention and control of Avian influenza depends on the knowledge and preventive practices of the poultry workers as well as general population. This article aims to assess the knowledge and preventive practices related to Avian influenza among poultry workers in Pokhara. Descriptive cross sectional study was conducted among 108 poultry workers in Pokhara using purposive sampling. Data was collected through face to face interview using structured interview schedule. The obtained data was analyzed by using descriptive (frequency, percentage, mean and standard deviation) and inferential statistics (Pearson correlation). The findings revealed that only 11.1 percent of the respondents had good knowledge. Only 26.9 percent gave correct answer about causative agent and three out of four gave correct definition of Avian influenza. Nearly two-third of the respondents had good practice of preventive measures. There was no significant relationship (r= 0.117, p= 0.226) between knowledge and practice score. The study concludes that the knowledge of Avian Influenza among poultry workers was low and the Practice was found relatively better. The groups should be targeted for appropriate intervention based on knowledge.

Background Households are important sites for transmission of SARS-CoV-2 and preventive measures are recommended. This study aimed to 1) investigate the impact of living with a person infected with SARS-CoV-2; 2) understand how household members implemented infection control recommendations in their home; and 3) identify the information and support needs of household members. Methods For this observational mixed-methods study, households with a person with confirmed SARS-CoV-2 infection were recruited via drive-through testing sites of Municipal Health Services, healthcare worker screening or hospital emergency visits in the University Medical Centre Utrecht, the Netherlands and via primary care physicians, hospital emergency visits or preoperative screening in the University Hospital of Antwerp, Belgium. We recorded household characteristics, including characteristics of all household members, together with their views on prevention measures. In a subset of households one adult household member was asked to participate in an interview investigating their views on preventive measures. Survey data were analysed using descriptive statistics and interview data by rapid framework analysis. A triangulation protocol was used to integrate findings. Results Thirty-four households (120 household members) were included in the quantitative survey. Twenty-two households were invited to be interviewed, of which 18 completed an interview (response 81.8%). Survey data showed that almost all households implemented some preventive measures, the use of face masks being least frequently reported. Measures taken depended on what was physically possible, the perceived severity of illness of the index patient and to what extent household members were willing to limit social interaction. Respondents did not believe in the effectiveness of wearing face masks within the house, and from the interviews this was explained by media coverage of face masks, impracticality and the stigma associated with wearing masks. Interviewees reported that quarantine had a high emotional burden and wished to have more information about the exact duration of quarantine, their own COVID-19 status, symptoms and when to seek medical help. Conclusion People were willing to implement prevention measures, however actual adherence depended on perceived severity of illness and the perceived risk of becoming infected. Homes are social environments and recommendations for infection prevention should account for this context. Incorporating our findings into policy making could provide households with more relevant and actionable advice.

Introduction Adherence to COVID-19 preventative guidelines may be influenced by a variety of factors at the individual, societal, and institutional levels. The current study sought to investigate the social factors of adherence to those preventive measures from the perspective of health professionals. Methods In October 2020, we performed qualitative research in Tehran, Iran, using the directed content analysis method. For the preparation of our interview guide and data analysis, we employed the WHO conceptual framework of socioeconomic determinants of health. Semi-structured interviews were conducted with 15 health professionals and policymakers who were chosen using a purposive sampling approach. MAXQDA-18 software was used to analyze the data. The Goba and Lincoln criteria were used to assess the quality of the results. Results There are 23 subcategories and 9 categories, which include socio-economic and political context (unstable macroeconomic environment, poor management of the pandemic, media and knowledge transfer), cultural and social values (fatalism, cultural norms, value conflicts, social customs), socio-economic positions (livelihood conditions), social capital (social cohesion, low trust), living conditions (housing conditions), occupational conditions (precarious employment), individual characteristics (demographic characteristics, personality traits, COVID-19 knowledge, and attitude), psycho-social factors (normalization of the disease, social pressure, and stigma), and health system leadership (health system problems, not taking evidence-based decisions, non-comprehensive preventive guidelines, non-operational guidelines, inadequate executive committee) were obtained. Conclusion To limit the new COVID-19 transmission, people must be encouraged to follow COVID-19 prevention instructions. Improving adherence to COVID-19 preventive guidelines necessitates dealing with the complexities of responding to social determinants of those guidelines. Increasing public health literacy and knowledge of COVID-19, informing people about the consequences of social interactions and cultural customs in the spread of COVID-19, strengthening regulatory lockdown laws, improving guarantees for adhering to preventive guidelines, providing easy access to preventive supplies, and strengthening financial support for households with precarious employment are all important.

Introduction. In times of martial law, there is a noticeable demand for preventive media texts particularly in social networks informing the community about safety rules and emergency situations. Research relevance. The Media Relations Department at the State Emergency Service of Ukraine or SESoU prevents or mitigates a potential crisis by informing community about safety rules and regulations. While following the general media standards, in the period of martial law the procedure of informing the public of emergency has several specific features. Research Methods. The analytical-synthetic method has been used to explore the research background and define the main terms. The method of synthesis and generalization has optimized the theoretical outline. The interview has been used to survey the State Emergency Service employees. The observation and information products analysis method has been used to evaluate the content. Results. The phenomenon of preventive is substantiated as an interdisciplinary category that serves as an effective mechanism for preventing undesirable consequences and situations. The experience that the regional head departments of State Emergency Service of Ukraine have regarding public preventive information has been studied. The advantages to using social networks to provide prevention and advert risks have been described. The genre-compositional nature used in posts has been studied. The preventive or informational and explanatory types of posts have been identified. Conclusions. In order to objectively inform and preventively alert citizens to safety rules and emergency situations, it is necessary to actively leverage the potential of social media. Posts should be regularly prepared and published, and materials should be accompanied by the author’s photos and videos, which will help keep the feed active. The social media posts have been interpreted according to their genre characteristics as informational, emotional, ritualistic, exploratory, and argumentative. The preventive, or informational, genre is identified, that is aimed at providing unbiased information about a certain event, phenomenon, fact, and explaining the rules of safety compliance. In terms of composition, posts have a title, the main body, and a conclusion.

ObjectivesAspirin could be offered for colorectal cancer prevention for the UK general population. To ensure the views of the general population are considered in future guidance, we explored public perceptions of aspirin for preventive therapy.DesignWe conducted an online survey to investigate aspirin use, and awareness of aspirin for cancer prevention among the UK general population. We conducted semistructured interviews with a subsample of survey respondents to explore participants’ acceptability towards aspirin for cancer preventive therapy. We analysed the interview data using reflexive thematic analysis and mapped the themes onto the Theoretical Domains Framework, and the Necessity and Concerns Framework.SettingOnline survey and remote interviews.ParticipantsWe recruited 400 UK respondents aged 50–70 years through a market research company to the survey. We purposefully sampled, recruited and interviewed 20 survey respondents.ResultsIn the survey, 19.0% (76/400) of respondents were aware that aspirin can be used to prevent cancer. Among those who had previously taken aspirin, 1.9% (4/216) had taken it for cancer prevention. The interviews generated three themes: (1) perceived necessity of aspirin; (2) concerns about side effects; and (3) preferred information sources. Participants with a personal or family history of cancer were more likely to perceive aspirin as necessary for cancer prevention. Concerns about taking aspirin at higher doses and its side effects, such as gastrointestinal bleeding, were common. Many described wanting guidance and advice on aspirin to be communicated from sources perceived as trustworthy, such as healthcare professionals.ConclusionsAmong the general population, those with a personal or family history of cancer may be more receptive towards taking aspirin for preventive therapy. Future policies and campaigns recommending aspirin may be of particular interest to these groups. Multiple considerations about the benefits and risks of aspirin highlight the need to support informed decisions on the medication.

Full textAbstract:
During the COVID-19 pandemic, a pharmacy internship at the Public Health Centers (PHC) was carried out by complying with the implementation of health protocols. There were risks for students to be exposed to COVID-19 when a pharmacy internship was carried out directly at the PHC, and some pharmacy internship materials could not be applied easily due to the pandemic. This study aimed to identify the corrective and preventive actions of the preceptor in guiding the pharmacy internship at the PHC during the COVID-19 pandemic. This descriptive study was conducted using the in-depth interview method and examined using qualitative data analysis. The results of interviews were categorized into six issues, namely: 1) roles and abilities as preceptors; 2) pharmacy college institution support; 3) pharmacy internship mentoring methods; 4) corrective and preventive actions to overcome problems in pharmacy internships during pandemics; 5) pharmacy internship modules; and 6) barriers and factors supporting the role of preceptors. Preventive action taken by the preceptor was generally in relation to government policies during the pandemic and infection prevention and control programs in PHC. Concurrently, the corrective actions were modifying learning methods and using information technology to support pharmacy internship learning outcomes during the pandemic and post-pandemic.

Full textAbstract:
Context: Ventilator-associated Pneumonia (VAP) is a recognized nosocomial infection and a leading cause of high morbidity and mortality. Intensive Care Unit (ICU) nurses are in the best position to put the known evidence-based strategies into practice to prevent VAP. Aim: The study assessed nursing knowledge and preventive practices of ventilator-associated pneumonia as perceived by intensive care nurses in Hail City, Saudi Arabia. Methods: Data were collected using a descriptive cross-sectional research design. The study was conducted in intensive care units of Government hospitals in Hail City on a convenient sample of all available critical care nurses who met the inclusion criteria during the data collection period. The sample size (n) for this analysis was 84. Data were collected using a structured interview questionnaire including sociodemographic data and nurses' knowledge of VAP. The second tool is nurses’ practice observational checklist regarding VAP prevention. Results: revealed that age median (IQR) is 30(6), median years of experience (IQR) 6(6), 67.9% had received VAP prevention training, and 78.6% had received information for preventing VAP. The study also reveals that 38.09% of the nurses had poor knowledge regarding VAP prevention, and they had a good median (IQR) 6(4) in the preventive practice of VAP. Age, experience in nursing, in the ICU, training on VAP prevention, and receiving information on preventing VAP significantly affected nurses' knowledge about preventing VAP in ICU patients. Experience in ICU and educational institutions as source of information and more than one source of information significantly affect the nurses' total preventive practice regarding VAP. Correlation analysis between overall knowledge and practice indicates no statistically significant correlation (the p-value for the correlation was 0.060). Conclusion: Over one-third of the nurses had poor knowledge regarding VAP. The study recommended that there should be in-service training and periodic educational programs targeting nurses to improve nurse’s knowledge and practices regarding VAP guidelines by the Ministry of Health.

Full textAbstract:
Men’s use of preventive care services may be constrained due to a number of factors including lack of health care insurance. California used the Medicaid expansion provisions of the Affordable Care Act (ACA) to enroll low-income men between the ages of 18 and 64 years in publicly funded health insurance. Most studies on the effect of the ACA on health care services have focused on racial/ethnic differences rather than gender. Data from the California Health Interview Survey for the 2015–2016 survey period were used to model the use of preventive health care services in the year prior to interview. Population weights were used in the analysis which was done using PROC SURVEY LOGISTIC in SAS software, version 9.4. The sample consisted of men between the ages of 18 and 64 years ( N = 6,180). Of these 66% ( n = 4,088) reporting receiving any preventive care services in the year prior to interview. The largest proportions of respondents fell into the youngest group aged 18–25 (17%) followed by the oldest group aged 60–64 (16.9%); 43% reported they were married, 57% had incomes at greater than 300% of the federal poverty level. There was no effect of race or ethnicity on receiving preventive care services. Having a chronic condition such as hypertension or diabetes was associated with a greater odds of receiving preventive care. Expanding Medicaid to include low-income men below the age of 65 is associated with increased use of preventive health care, especially among those with chronic conditions.

Full textAbstract:
This paper mainly focuses on various drowning accidents occurring in natural waters in China. According to the types of drowning incidents, it analyzes the causes and preventive measures. Using the survey analysis method, expert interview method, and case analysis method as the main research methods, it investigates the current situation of drowning accidents in natural waters in China, understands the real causes of these accidents, and summarizes them. The study finds that the causes of drowning are multi-faceted, including the complex water conditions in natural waters, insufficient swimming skills and lack of corresponding self-rescue abilities, insufficient awareness of drowning prevention safety, sudden physical conditions or potential physical diseases, and improper rescue in case of accidental falling into the water. In response to these issues, the following preventive measures are proposed: improving drowning prevention safety education, carrying out a series of water safety education activities, promoting the learning and popularization of swimming skills, learning basic rescue methods, and establishing drowning prevention safeguard measures.

Full textAbstract:
The outbreak of COVID-19 pandemic has generated unprecedented information on preventive strategies aimed at containment and control of the disease. This study examined the relationship between perceived credibility of information sources and adoption of COVID-19 preventive strategies among residents in South West Nigeria. The study adopted Elaboration Likelihood Model (ELM), while online survey and in-depth interview (IDI) were employed as the research designs. Convenience and purposive sampling procedures were used in the selection of 259 respondents and ten participants who were 18 years and above. Data were generated using questionnaire and interview guide. Descriptive statistics, Pearson correlation and multiple bootstrapping comparison test were used to analyse quantitative data, while qualitative data were transcribed and direct quotations that represented the participants’ opinions were used for the analysis. Key findings showed that expertise and trustworthiness determined the credibility of information sources while television was perceived as the most credible source of information. A significant relationship exists between perceived credibility of information sources and adoption of preventive measures. These findings highlight the need for preventive strategies to be disseminated through credible information sources.

Background: Suicide rates are elevated in the veterinary profession in several countries, yet little is known about possible contributory and preventive factors. Aims: To obtain information from veterinarians with a history of suicidal ideation or behavior about the factors associated with suicidality in their profession. Methods: We conducted a mixed-methods interview study with 21 UK veterinarians who had attempted suicide or reported recent suicidal ideation. Interview topics included work and nonwork contributory factors, coping mechanisms, and preventive factors. Results: Self-poisoning was the most common method used or considered by participants. Common contributory factors were workplace relationships, career concerns, patient issues, number of hours and volume of work, and responsibility, although two-thirds of participants reported co-occurring difficult life events. Around half had received a psychiatric diagnosis following their suicidal behavior. Several possible preventive measures were suggested by participants. Conclusions: Several work- and non-work-related contributory factors to suicidality in the veterinary profession were identified. Future preventive measures may involve better promotion of support services, formal support for recent graduates, and improving employers’ attitudes toward work-life balance.

Dengue prevention is the best way to prevent dengue outbreaks, as the tagline goes, “prevention is better than cure”. But the challenges lie on sustaining the preventive activity among the community, which commonly only takes place periodically, i.e. when they are dengue outbreaks, with the presence of health officers under the Communication for Behavioral Impact (COMBI) campaign. In this study, a behaviour change model based on the Transtheoretical Model (TTM) and trigger elements derived from the Fogg Behaviour Model (FBM) is proposed to sustain a community in carrying out preventive activities to prevent dengue. Furthermore, the intervention strategy is added to connect the TTM and FBM. In addition, an interview with the community leader, from the community which used to be a hotspot for dengue, and a survey with its residents are performed to give further insights into the development of the proposed model.

ObjectivesTo explore the reasons for unintended pregnancy and effective prevention measures from the perspectives of women and healthcare providers in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia.DesignPhenomenological qualitative study.Setting and participantsThis study was conducted at three public health facilities found in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia. Women with unintended pregnancies and healthcare providers currently working in maternal health services were purposively recruited for in-depth interviews. Twenty in-depth interviews were conducted until data saturation was achieved. Data were analysed using thematic analysis.ResultsSeven themes emerged from the transcribed interview data. These include: Personal characteristics (negligence; lower pregnancy expectation), family influence (fear of family), sociocultural and economic influence (stigma and discrimination), healthcare provider influence (disrespectful and abusive approach; disregard for women’s contraceptive choice), preconception thoughts and behaviours (unprotected early sexual practice; myths and misunderstanding), lack of access to quality family planning services (lack of trained contraceptive counsellor, inappropriate contraceptive use), and preventive strategies for unintended pregnancy (comprehensive sexual education; sexual and reproductive health and rights service integration)ConclusionsThis study identified multilevel reasons for unintended pregnancy from the perspective of the participants. Participants shared their views on preventive measures for unintended pregnancy, including comprehensive sexual education, service integration and male-inclusive contraceptive counselling. This study highlights the need to improve sexual and reproductive health services by shedding light on the viewpoints and experiences of women and healthcare providers.

Abstract Aims: While women with breast cancer may have increased survival when compared to other cancers, aggressive, multi-modal treatments are often required with significant impact on quality of life and economic cost, highlighting the importance of breast cancer prevention and screening. For the estimated 10 million women in the United States who meet high-risk criteria for breast cancer, evidence-based interventions may be implemented to reduce risk, including long-term chemoprevention. Engaging in preventative care requires a healthy woman to navigate a complicated decision-making process involving the woman’s perception of risk, access to information about risk and prevention strategies, access to care, social support, and the financial ability to manage cost of preventive care. Even with substantial evidence supporting chemoprevention for risk reduction, there is significant lack of uptake and adherence, especially among racial and ethnic minorities and underserved women. Given the missed opportunity for breast cancer prevention that this represents, it is critical to characterize the experience of women with chemoprevention to improve uptake and adherence to chemoprevention. Our aims were to explore the patient experience of women recommended to receive chemoprevention for breast cancer prevention. Methods: Sampling from a unique high-risk specialty care setting, we interviewed a diverse cohort of thirty women recommended to receive chemoprevention for breast cancer to learn about their experience in single semi-structured qualitative interviews. Content analysis was used to describe their experience and identify barriers to chemoprevention uptake and adherence. The MDASI-Breast was used to capture patient reported symptom burden at the time of interview. Results: Mean participant age was 54.6 years (range 34-87 years); 44.0% Hispanic; 20.0% Black; 81.0% receiving a selective estrogen receptor modulator, 19% receiving an aromatase inhibitor. Mean time since initiating chemoprevention was 14.0 months (range 1.1-49.3 months). At the time of the interview, women reported multiple symptoms, with the most severe reports of fatigue (mean severity 3.77, SD 2.91), sleep disturbance (mean severity 2.90, SD 2.47), problems with memory (mean severity 2.48, SD 2.07), drowsiness (mean severity 2.23, SD 2.14), and decrease in sexual interest or activity (mean severity 2.09, SD 2.38). In qualitative interviews, women reported barriers to preventive care related to symptom burden, access to care, access to accurate information, lack of understanding of breast cancer risk, and financial concerns. Content analysis found 20 symptoms related to both risk and preventive treatment, with 8 symptoms reported by ≥ 20% of women. All women described distress related to their risk, with 23.8% of women describing sadness related to their risk. In addition, 33.3% of women reported distress related to the impact of their own risk on their family, primarily on their children. Women (23.8%) described breast changes that were present when their risk was identified, such as a lump or pain. Treatment-related symptoms varied based on type of endocrine therapy received and history of surgery and included sleep disturbance (23.8% of women), pain (28.6%), hot flashes/night sweats (33.3%), fatigue (28.6%), and joint stiffness or soreness (23.8%). Women shared ways in which symptoms impacted daily functioning, work, relationships, and ability to enjoy life. Conclusions: Women at risk for breast cancer recommended to receive chemoprevention experience multiple barriers to adherence including symptoms related to their risk and preventive care, access to care and accurate information, and financial burden. Interventions are needed to improve access to care and symptom management. Citation Format: Jessica T. Jones, Meagan Whisenant, Kelly J. Brassil, Hannah G.

Full textAbstract:
The aim of this study was to gather knowledge regarding the conception of young people as for HIV/AIDS and the use of condoms in sexual intercourse. Survey conducted in May, 2012, at a public school in the city of João Pessoa, Paraíba, with eleven young people of both sexes. The chosen technique of investigation was a semi-structured interview. Empirical data were organized according to categorical content analysis, the following categories emerging: "AIDS: what young people think", "AIDS prevention methods" and one subcategory "Trust in the partner as a method for HIV/AIDS prevention". As observed, there is knowledge of condom use as a preventive method against HIV/AIDS; trust in the partner and faithfulness were also cited as preventive methods in both sexes. It is suggested that, when investing in national and regional proposals, not only social inequalities are to be considered, but especially the local realities of different young people in different national scenarios.

Aims: To assess the knowledge of off-springs of diabetic patients regarding, perceived risk of developing type II diabetes &possibilities of its prevention and behaviour of study participants to adopt healthy lifestyle for the prevention of diabetes was also explored. Study Design: Cross sectional study Place and Duration of Study: Department of Medicine, Shaikh Zayed Medical Complex, Lahore and Mayo Hospital Lahore from 1st February 2020 to 31st July 2020. Methodology:Two hundred and fifty individuals were enrolled. A face to face interview of all study participants was conducted and a questionnaire was filled. Results: There were 103(41.2%) had good knowledge regarding various aspects of diabetes, 120(48.0%) and 139(55.6%) had a good understanding of diabetes risk factors and prevention, respectively. It was shown that 74 (29.6%), had a high risk of getting diabetes in the future and only 112 (44.8%) of the individuals had strong diabetes preventive practices. A high score of preventive lifestyle was significantly associated with good level of knowledge of participants regarding diabetes (p=0.0165) and also with patients having great concern about their risk of getting diabetes in future (p=0.0052). Conclusions: People who have one or both parents with type 2 diabetes are typically aware that they have a higher chance of developing diabetes themselves. They, on the other hand, frequently underestimate the danger and have limited knowledge of potentially effective preventative interventions. If they are to decrease their risk of diabetes and its consequences, they need correct knowledge on it. Keywords: Offsprings of diabetics, Prevention of diabetes, Knowledge about diabetes

People for whom English is a second language, such as the deaf population, often have unequal access to health information and low health literacy. In the context of a wider study on risk of tick-borne illness in deaf communities, we explored barriers, opportunities, and nuances to accessible health information and communication among deaf people. Semi-structured qualitative individual and group interviews were conducted with 40 deaf people in upstate New York, to explore factors associated with health literacy and health information accessibility. Interviews were conducted in American Sign Language (ASL) by a deaf researcher fluent in ASL. Data analysis included the translation of ASL signs into English words, systematic coding, and generation of themes. A total of 21 interview events (mean time per interview = 41 minutes) were conducted. Two main themes and multiple sub-themes emerged from the data: 1) Layers of obstacles faced by deaf people confirms (or reinforces) exclusion; and 2) preventive information is unavailable or inaccessible to deaf people. Sub- themes identified in the results were perceptions of the deaf community and deaf culture, complex layers of obstacles faced by deaf individuals, the digital divide, the culture of communication, awareness of tick and tick-borne disease (TBD) diseases, importance of using certified deaf interpreters (CDI), health information dissemination strategies and collaborations with the education system, and physical/virtual community engagement. The data suggested several challenges to health literacy in the deaf population, including healthcare and education inequalities and negative perceptions of deaf people by both deaf and hearing people. Improving health literacy in the deaf population requires more interpreters who themselves are deaf (“certified deaf interpreters”), provision of health information in ASL, and a greater engagement with the deaf population by education and healthcare systems.

Background: Attempted suicide, a deliberate self-directed behavior situated within the unique social world of an individual, is a major risk factor for suicide. Efforts aimed at addressing female suicide must be based on understanding their perceived causes and the meaning of this behavior. Aims: This study describes the perceived causes of suicidal behaviors to determine preventive measures of female suicide in China. Methods: An in-depth interview about the process and causes of suicidal behavior as well as a detailed structured and a standardized diagnostic interview were administered to 244 female attempters treated at general hospitals and, separately, to their relatives. Results: The perceived three most frequent causes of the attempts were interpersonal conflict (87%), psychological problems (33%), and conflict between others that affected the subject (27%). On average 2.2 causes were identified for each case. The identification in the in-depth interviews of psychological problems as a cause of the attempt was concordant with the results of the independent psychiatric exam identifying a current DSM-IV mental disorder in 38% of cases (Kappa = 0.64). Conclusions: Preventive measures of improving interpersonal and problem-solving skills should be developed and assessed for addressing female suicide in China besides expansion of psychiatric services.

Background: The Coronavirus Disease (COVID-19) pandemic continues its deadly reign all over the world. Devising effective strategies for detecting and controlling the infection has become ever more critical. Effective prevention and control of the pandemic is entirely dependent on human behavior in terms of practicing preventive and curative measures. During the second wave of COVID-19, people’s perceptions of preventive and curative measures changed. Objective: To study healthcare-seeking behavior of hospitalized COVID-19 patients. Methods: Hospitalized patients due to COVID-19 in the month of March, April and May of 2021 were included in the study. Their attendants/close relatives were contacted telephonically to know about the admitted patients’ healthcare-seeking behavior. Verbal consent was taken from attendants before the commencement of the interview, followed by informing them about the purpose of the interview. Results: Amongst the subjects, there were more males than females (67.5 vs 32.4%), age ranged between 18 to 88 with a mean value of 56.61 ± 14.7 years. Self-medication was significantly associated with study subjects’ mortality (p=0.03). Conclusion: Elderly people were having higher mortality rate than their younger counterparts. People were hesitant to visit primary care physicians after having symptoms of COVID-19.

Introduction: Globally, infections acquired from hospitals pose a major obstacle to patients’ safety. Health care workers, especially, nursing students are at high risk for Hospital Acquired Infections (HAIs) as they are always in contact with clients. Therefore, this study aims to explore experiences of infection prevention and control in the clinical practice of nursing students in the Greater Accra Region, Ghana. Methods: The study utilized a qualitative exploratory design to interview 42 participants (7 focus groups, comprising of 6 members each). A purposive sampling technique was employed to select the participants, who were engaged in 50–90 min’ focus group discussions. Data collection lasted for 3 months and was analyzed using content analysis. NVivo version 12 Software was used to identify recurrent themes from the transcribed data Results: The results revealed two main themes: preventive practices against hospital-acquired infections and barriers toward infection prevention practices. The subthemes under the preventive practices were as follows: views on HAIs preventive practices, barrier nursing, hand washing and use of sanitizers, aseptic techniques, and sterilization. Increased workload, lack of superior support, and inadequate resources emerged under the barriers toward infection prevention practices. Conclusion: It was concluded from the study that most of the student nurses had adequate information about HAIs and wish to adhere to the Infection prevention protocols. However, the participants observed poor infection prevention practices among the staff they were learning from. It is therefore recommended that more attention is focused on infection prevention and control in clinical practice among nurses.

Full textAbstract:
The present study aimed to evaluate the level of awareness among cattle farmers about Lumpy Skin Disease (LSD), including its general aspects, transmission, and preventive measures, in the Tiruvarur district of Tamil Nadu. The study involved 218 cattle farmers who visited the various Veterinary Dispensaries in Tiruvarur district of Tamil Nadu. Data were collected through personal interviews using a pre-tested and semi-structured interview schedule. The level of awareness was assessed based on the mean scores obtained from the respondents. The findings revealed that while respondents demonstrated a higher level of awareness regarding LSD affecting cattle, they lacked knowledge about viral diseases that cause abortion in dairy animals. Respondents showed greater awareness about the 'introduction of infected animals into the herd.' Still, they had less awareness about the role of 'contaminated feed and water' in disease transmission, as well as the movement of cattle and the impact of ticks, mosquitoes, and flies in transmitting the disease. Concerning preventive and control measures, respondents were more aware that vaccination is an effective method for controlling LSD but had less awareness regarding the role of fomites in transmitting the LSD virus between animals and the effectiveness of controlling ticks, flies, and mosquitoes in disease prevention. "Social media was identified as one of the significant sources of information for farmers. However, it needs to be streamlined to ensure the dissemination of accurate and scientific information about the disease, facilitating more effective disease prevention and control."

Full textAbstract:
Background: Dengue fever (DF) is the most rapidly spreading mosquito-borne viral disease in the world. In this decade it has expanded to new countries and from urban to rural areas. Limited awareness and nonsystematized health education programmes have contributed adversely to the increase in dengue incidence due to limited attention which has positively contributed to the increase in vector receptivity. The current study was conducted to ascertain the knowledge, attitudes and Preventive measures regarding Dengue fever among the students of various universities in Bangladesh.
 Study design: A cross-sectional survey was carried out to assess the Knowledge, Awareness and Preventive measures (KAP) among the students of various universities in Bangladesh.
 Methodology: Between August 2020 & November 2020, an epidemiological survey was conducted among 199 students of various universities throughout Bangladesh. We collected information on the socio-demographic characteristics of the respondents and their knowledge, attitude and Preventive measures regarding DF using a structured questionnaire. Majority of the questions were dichotomous (Yes/No type) and some questions were asked using five point Likert scale. We then statistically compared their knowledge, attitude and Preventive measures in regard to socio-demographic characteristics of the respondents to identify possible causes of observed differences using SPSS version 23.
 Results: Total number of students from Diploma, Undergraduate (Honor's), Postgraduate (Master's) were 199 who had given voluntary consent and participated in this study willingly. The sample comprised more males (56%) than females (44%), and almost 50% of respondents were from allied health science (Pharmacy, Microbiology, Public health, Botany, Zoology, Biotechnology, Biochemistry etc) background. Respondents had relatively good knowledge about aspects of Dengue fever. Out of 199 individuals interviewed, 97% had heard of DF. They had good knowledge score regarding dengue symptoms but comparatively moderate knowledge score regarding dengue transmission and management. The knowledge, attitude and Preventive measures level of study respondents was found statistically significant in relation to the academic attainment of the respondents.

Use of ambulatory care services by children from low-income families has increased substantially since the early 1960s. However, in few studies have attempts been made to disaggregate physician visits according to type (eg, preventive v diagnosis and treatment). In this study, receipt of preventive care (including physical, vision, and dental examinations), based on a sample of 16,838 children aged 5 to 16 years from the 1982 National Health Interview Survey, was examined. The results indicate that children in families with incomes below the poverty level, especially those without Medicaid insurance, are much less likely to receive routine preventive care on a timely basis. Poor school-aged children with Medicaid are much more likely to receive timely preventive care than their counterparts without Medicaid coverage. The effectiveness of preventive care for children is discussed and suggestions for improving access to routine preventive care are presented.

High levels of asbestos-related deaths: Early detection programs and their ambivalent effects (Interview) The number of asbestos-related deaths due to occupational diseases remains high. the German Social Accident Insurance (DGuV) reported 1520, 1623, and 1328 fatalities in 2020, 2021, and 2022, respectively. To address this, occupational associations offer early detection programs. Since 1973, preventive medical check-ups have been carried out for employees formerly exposed to asbestos as part of secondary prevention. however, anxiety and uncertainty about the disease can deter individuals from participating, impacting the program’s effectiveness.

Objective. General practitioners’ (GPs’) perception of risk is a cornerstone of preventive care. The aims of this interview study were to explore GPs’ professional and personal attitudes and experiences regarding treatment with lipid-lowering drugs and their views on patient compliance. Methods. The material was drawn from semistructured qualitative interviews. We sampled GPs purposively from ten selected practices, ensuring diversity of demographic, professional, and personal characteristics. The GPs were encouraged to describe examples from their own practices and reflect on them and were informed that the focus was their personal attitudes and experiences. Systematic text condensation was applied for analysis in order to uncover the concepts and themes. Results. The analysis revealed the following 3 main themes: (1) use of cardiovascular guidelines and risk assessment tools, (2) strategies for managing patient compliance, and (3) GPs’ own risk management. There were substantial differences in the attitudes concerning all three themes. Conclusions. The substantial differences in the GPs’ personal and professional risk perceptions may be a key to understanding why GPs do not always follow cardiovascular guidelines. The impact on daily clinical practice, personal consultation style, and patient behaviour with regard to prevention is worth studying further.

Full textAbstract:
Uterine fibroid has been identified as one of the most prevailing health challenges among African women. Previous studies focused on the prevalence and prevention of fibroid among women in general, especially with regards to the biomedical science perspective. However, little attention has been given to social dimension of this medical condition particularly among Celibate-women. This study therefore investigated the prevalence and prevention of fibroid among Celibate-women, in the Catholic Ecclesiastical Province of Ibadan, Nigeria. The Data collection technique was triangulated, hence 375 questionnaires were administered on the Celibate-women through a total population sampling technique while key informant interview were conducted for 28 purposively selected respondents. Findings revealed a prevalence rate of 48.0% among the Celibate-women. No specific preventive measure against fibroid was reported; however 48.3% reported that they would have preferred traditional preventive medicine, while 35.2% indicated preference for orthodox medicine. There is high prevalence of fibroid among Celibate-women and its prevention is characterized by uncertainties among this group of women in the Catholic Ecclesiastical province of Ibadan. There is need to sensitize Celibate-women on the risk of fibroid.

Full textAbstract:
Having asthma is a chronic condition that requires both acute and preventive care as a vital component of asthma action plans. This study looks at how having access to paid sick leave days may be important to adherence to asthma action plans. Does having paid sick days facilitate preventive care, help people avoid acute asthma incidents, reduce the number of lost work days, reduce the cost of care, and lessen financial worry among asthma sufferers? This research builds on a growing body of literature that has established a relationship between paid sick leave days and preventive and acute health care use and outcomes and yet is the first of its kind to examine the relationship specifically between asthma and paid sick leave. This study used secondary data analysis to examine the relationship between six outcome variables categories and having paid sick leave in a nationally representative sample of N = 1,676 working U.S. adults in the National Health Interview Survey. Workers without paid sick leave benefits were significantly more likely to report they were worried about finances and struggle to afford their prescription medication compared to their counterparts who have paid sick leave benefits. Examined in light of past findings, workers with asthma who lack paid sick leave are in a precarious situation where they have increased worry likely due in part to reduced take-home pay due to unpaid sick days and increased medical expenses. There was no relationship between having paid sick leave and the receipt of preventive asthma care, measures of asthma control, receipt of patient education, and asthma medication use. Implications for policy and practice are put forth.

Full textAbstract:
The workplace is an ideal environment for promoting workers’ health. Nevertheless, preventive health measures are insufficiently implemented, especially in small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) with up to 250 employees. The aim of this study was to investigate determinants for the implementation of measures to prevent musculoskeletal and mental health disorders from the perspective of enterprise representatives in Dutch SMEs. An online survey was completed by 79 SME representatives (e.g., owners, HR professionals and occupational health and safety officers) in the cleaning, care, construction and transport sectors. In addition, semi-structured interviews were conducted with 18 enterprise representatives. The interview transcripts were analyzed using an inductive approach. Survey data showed that the focus of prevention efforts by SMEs is on improving working conditions and complying with legally required occupational health requirements, while lifestyle measures are rarely implemented. The determinants of implementation according to enterprise representatives were associated with 10 distinct themes. These were (1) available resources (both finances and staff), (2) complexity of implementation of measures, (3) awareness, (4) knowledge and expertise, (5) availability of time, (6) employer and worker commitment, (7) workers’ openness for measures, (8) communication, (9) workers’ trust and autonomy and (10) integration in organizational policy. These findings can serve as a support for developing strategies for implementing preventive health measures in SMEs.
