Abstract Background Food security and food hygiene practices can negatively influence health. Poor food hygiene and food insecurity risk poor health. Studies have investigated the direct associations of food security and food hygiene practices on health outcomes, however, combine effects of these variables on self-reported health is under explored. This study aimed to assess household food security, food hygiene practices and their interaction on self-reported health among pregnant women in Bono Region, Ghana. Methods Cross-sectional study was conducted among 408 pregnant women in Sunyani West Municipality. Data collected were entered into SPSS version-22. Descriptive statistics, One-way ANOVA with Post Hoc test, and multivariable logistic regression models were used to analyze the data and results presented at 95% confident interval with p-value ≤ 0.05 considered significant. Results Mean prevalence and 95%CI of self-reported health, household food security and food hygiene practices were: 1.69 (1.59—1.79), 5.36 (4.92—5.79) and 122.06 (106.12—137.99), respectively. Being Student/Apprentice (AOR = 0.44, 95%CI = 0.20—0.98), having: low food hygiene practices (AOR = 0.38, 95%CI = 0.18—0.83), low household food security (AOR = 4.85 95%CI: 2.44—9.61), interaction of moderate food hygiene practices with low food security (AOR = 2.51, 95%CI = 1.38—4.54) and interaction of low food hygiene practices with moderate food security (AOR = 2.93, 95%CI = 1.57—5.48) were associated with poor self-reported health. Conclusion Household food security food hygiene practices and their interaction were associated with poor self-reported health among pregnant women in Sunyani West Municipality. Public health officers in the municipality should consider implementing Behavior Change Communication Strategies (BCCS) and food safety training to promote positive food hygiene practices. The Municipal assembly should prioritize food subsidies and direct food aid/cash to targeted vulnerable households.

BackgroundNurses’ job satisfaction directly impacts their attitudes and efficiency at work. This study aimed to identify the factors influencing job satisfaction among nursing professionals in China.MethodsThis cross-sectional study utilized an online questionnaire to assess the job satisfaction, work conditions, and sociodemographic characteristics of nursing professionals in China. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, chi-square tests, Spearman correlation analysis, and linear regression analysis.ResultsThe study collected 605 questionnaires from 38 hospitals and nursing homes in Nantong. Among them, 599 were valid responses, resulting in a validity rate of 99%. The majority of participants were aged 51–60 (43.14%) and were female (91.65%). The multivariate model results indicated that age, work location, and policy understanding significantly influenced overall job satisfaction. Specifically, the 51–60 age group and those aged ≥61 had a positive impact on overall satisfaction compared to the ≤30 age group (β = 0.95, 95% CI = 0.43 to 1.47; β = 1.53, 95% CI = 0.82 to 2.25). Compared to working in a hospital, working in a nursing home had a negative impact (β = −1.13, 95%CI = −2.10 to −0.17). Additionally, lower policy understanding negatively affected overall job satisfaction.ConclusionThis study found that age, workplace, and policy understanding are factors influencing the job satisfaction of nursing staff. Therefore, corresponding measures should be taken for young nurses and those working in nursing homes, such as improving welfare benefits and reducing work pressure, to enhance their job satisfaction. In addition, training for all nursing staff should be strengthened to improve their understanding of relevant policies, thereby increasing job satisfaction and retention rates. This will help better meet the growing demand for nursing services.

Costa Rica harbors several flaviviruses, including Dengue (DENV), Zika (ZIKV), West Nile virus (WNV), and Saint Louis encephalitis virus (SLEV). While DENV and ZIKV are hyperendemic, previous research indicates restricted circulation of SLEV and WNV in animals. SLEV and WNV seroprevalence and high transmission areas have not yet been measured. To determine the extents of putative WNV and SLEV circulation, we sampled peri-domestic and domestic animals, humans, and mosquitoes in rural households located in two DENV and ZIKV hyperendemic regions during the rainy and dry seasons of 2017–2018 and conducted plaque reduction neutralization test assay for serology (PRNT) and RT-PCR for virus detection. In Cuajiniquil, serological evidence of WNV and SLEV was found in equines, humans, chickens, and wild birds. Additionally, five seroconversion events were recorded for WNV (2 equines), SLEV (1 human), and DENV-1 (2 humans). In Talamanca, WNV was not found, but serological evidence of SLEV circulation was recorded in equines, humans, and wild birds. Even though no active viral infection was detected, the seroconversion events recorded here indicate recent circulation of SLEV and WNV in these two regions. This study thus provides clear-cut evidence for WNV and SLEV presence in these areas, and therefore, they should be considered in arboviruses differential diagnostics and future infection prevention campaigns.

Abstract Background Healthcare associated infections are of significant burden in Australia and globally. Previous estimates in Australia have relied on single-site studies, or combinations thereof, which have suggested the burden of these infections is high in Australia. Here, we estimate the burden of five healthcare associated infections (HAIs) in Australian public hospitals using a standard international framework, and compare these estimates to those observed in Europe. Methods We used data from an Australian point prevalence survey to estimate the burden of HAIs amongst adults in Australian public hospitals using an incidence-based approach, introduced by the ECDC Burden of Communicable Diseases in Europe. Results We estimate that 170,574 HAIs occur in adults admitted to public hospitals in Australia annually, resulting in 7583 deaths. Hospital acquired pneumonia is the most frequent HAI, followed by surgical site infections, and urinary tract infections. We find that blood stream infections contribute a small percentage of HAIs, but contribute the highest number of deaths (3207), more than twice that of the second largest, while pneumonia has the higher impact on years lived with disability. Conclusion This study is the first time the national burden of HAIs has been estimated for Australia from point prevalence data collected using validated surveillance definitions. Per-capita, estimates are similar to that observed in Europe, but with significantly higher occurrences of bloodstream infections and healthcare-associated pneumonia, primarily amongst women. Overall, the estimated burden is high and highlights the need for continued investment in HAI prevention.

Hábito bucal é toda repetição de um ato, que se torna inconsciente. Podem ser classificados como nutritivos aqueles que permitem adquirir nutrientes essenciais (amamentação), ou não nutritivos, que não possuem obtenção de nutrientes, como sucção digital, de chupeta, de língua, de lábios ou de bochecha. Ele só vai ser deletério quando ocasionar um desequilíbrio neuromuscular, alterando assim o crescimento e o desenvolvimento do complexo crânio facial e da oclusão dentária, dependendo ainda de três fatores: intensidade, frequência e duração, de acordo com a tríade de Graber. Portanto, o objetivo deste estudo é revisar a literatura atual sobre os hábitos bucais de sucção e seus efeitos nas estruturas faciais, a fim de prevenir consequências futuras. Os trabalhos levantados nesta revisão de literatura mencionam que o hábito de sucção não nutritivo é o fator primordial para o desenvolvimento de más-oclusões. Com isso, entende-se que a amamentação sendo exclusiva até os seis primeiros meses de vida da criança, tem uma grande probabilidade destes hábitos deletérios não serem adquiridos.

This study aims to provide new insights into the prevalence of maternal and paternal depression, its demographic and clinical correlates, and its symptom network among Chinese pregnant women and their partners.Methods: In this multicenter, cross-sectional study, 769 pregnant women and their partners were assessed by Edinburgh Postnatal Depression Scale (EPDS) from June 15th to Sep 15th, 2020 in southern China. Convenient sampling method was used. Univariate analyses, multivariate logistic regression, and network analyses were conducted. Networks of maternal and paternal depression were compared.Results: In total, 60 (EPDS total score ≥ 13, 7.80%, 95% CI: 5.90– 9.70%) women and 23 (2.99%, 95% CI: 1.78– 4.20%) of these women’s partners reported depression. Physical comorbidities (OR=2.664, P=0.003) was the only factor that was found to significantly correlate with maternal depression. Network analyses showed that the resulting networks were well connected and that there was significant difference of network structure between maternal and paternal depression (M=0.330, P< 0.001). Centrality plot indicated that “sad or miserable” (strength=1.097) was the most central symptom in the maternal depression network, while “scared or panicky” (strength=1.091) was the most central node in the paternal network. The edge between “things have been getting on top of me” – “able to laugh and see the funny side of things” (difference: 0.153, P=0.020), and “scared or panicky” – “the thought of harming myself” (difference: 0.084, P< 0.001) was significantly stronger in women’s partners than that in pregnant women.Conclusion: Maternal and paternal depression during pregnancy could result in significant negative consequences. Symptoms like “sad or miserable” and “scared or panicky” are critical and might be potential targets for further interventions. Evidence-based treatments, such as pharmacology, psychotherapy, community reinforcement and family training, might be beneficial for parents with depression during and after the pregnancy.Keywords: depression, maternal, network, paternal, pregnancy

Recent genome-wide association studies (GWAS) on the dietary habits of the Japanese population have shown that an effect rs671 allele was inversely associated with fish consumption, whereas it was directly associated with coffee consumption. Although meat is a major source of protein and fat in the diet, whether genetic factors that influence meat-eating habits in healthy populations are unknown. This study aimed to conduct a GWAS to find genetic variations that affect meat consumption in a Japanese population. We analysed GWAS data using 14 076 participants from the Japan Multi-Institutional Collaborative Cohort (J-MICC) study. We used a semi-quantitative food frequency questionnaire to estimate food intake that was validated previously. Association of the imputed variants with total meat consumption per 1000 kcal energy was performed by linear regression analysis with adjustments for age, sex, and principal component analysis components 1–10. We found that no genetic variant, including rs671, was associated with meat consumption. The previously reported single nucleotide polymorphisms that were associated with meat consumption in samples of European ancestry could not be replicated in our J-MICC data. In conclusion, significant genetic factors that affect meat consumption were not observed in a Japanese population.

<strong>Background:</strong> It is generally accepted that cirrhosis is a global health problem, and cirrhoticpatients need to perform self-care activities. Smartphone applications are effective tools for the self-management education of diseases.<br /> <strong>Aim: </strong>This study aimed to develop a self-care smartphone application for cirrhotic patients.<br /> <strong>Method: </strong>This study was conducted to develop a mobile application to provide cirrhotic patients with self-care management. The application was designed using two educational models of Analysis, Design, Development, Implementation, and Evaluation as well as Driscoll and Alexander models. Its efficiency was evaluated by 5 software technicians and 74 cirrhotic patients. The tools utilized in this study included heuristics and the Mobile Application Rating Scales. The evaluation results were employed to modify the application and prepare a final version.<br /> <strong>Results:</strong> An android application was developed under the name of "My Liver" in this study. The results of experts' evaluation included 12 corrective suggestions that were applied to the development of the application. According to the participants' evaluation, aesthetics (68.60%) and engagement (71.36%) received the first- and second-lowest scores, respectively. However, the items that obtained the highest scores included the adaptation of content to the user requirements, ease of use, suitable quality and quantity of information, the presence of visual information, validity and acceptability, and evidence-based content. The star grading indicated a relatively high quality of this application.<br /> <strong>Implications for Practice:</strong> Smartphone applications can be useful tools for cirrhotic patients to perform self-care without the direct presence of the nurse.  <br /> <strong> </strong>

Abstract Thailand’s transition to high middle-income country status has been accompanied by demographic changes and associated shifts in the nation’s public health challenges. These changes have necessitated a significant shift in public health focus from the treatment of infectious diseases to the more expensive and protracted management of non-communicable diseases (NCDs) in older adults. In 2010, in response to this shift in focus, the University of Michigan and colleagues at the Praboromarajchanok Institute for Health Workforce Development in Thailand began work on a broad-based multi-institutional programme for NCD research capacity-building in Thailand. To begin to build a base of intervention research we paired our programme’s funded Thai postdoctoral fellows with United States mentors who have strong programmes of intervention research. One direct impact of the programme was the development of research ‘hubs’ focused upon similar areas of investigative focus such as self-management of cancer symptoms, self-management of HIV/AIDS and health technology information applications for use in community settings. Within these hubs, interventions with proven efficacy in the United States were used as a foundation for culturally relevant interventions in Thailand. The programme also aimed to develop the research support structures necessary within departments and colleges for grant writing and management, dissemination of new knowledge, and ethical conduct of human subject research. In an effort to capitalise on large national health datasets and big data now available in Thailand, several of the programme’s postdoctoral fellows began projects that use data science methods to mine this asset. The investigators involved in these ground-breaking projects form the core of a network of research hubs that will be able to capitalise on the availability of lifespan health data from across Thailand and provide a robust working foundation for expansion of research using data science approaches. Going forward, it is vitally important to leverage this groundwork in order to continue fostering rapid growth in NCD research and training as well as to capitalise upon these early gains to create a sustaining influence for Thailand to lead in NCD research, improve the health of its citizens, and provide ongoing leadership in Southeast Asia.

Background: Considering the susceptibility of preterm infants to disturbances of vital signs, this study was conducted to investigate the effects of using plastic covers on regulation of vital signs in preterm neonates.Methods: This randomized, cross-over, clinical trial was carried out on 80 preterm infants admitted to neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) of Taleghani Hospital, Tabriz, Iran. The study was conducted in two days (on the second and third days of the infants’ life). In group 1, plastic cover was used during the first day followed by the use of blanket on the second day, while the order was reversed in group 2. Digital thermometer was used to measure the infants’ axillary temperature. Heart rate and oxygen saturation were measured through monitoring. To analyze the data, descriptive (Mean and SE, 95%CI) and inferential statistics (repeated measurement and ANCOVA tests) were used in SPSS version 13 and MiniTab software.Results: Fourteen infants who were covered with blanket were found to suffer from hypothermia, while no infant with a plastic cover encountered this problem. The percentage of arterial blood oxygen saturation in the group with plastic covers was higher, and as a result, the infants received less oxygen supplements. However, no statistically significant differences were observed in heart rate between the groups.Conclusion: Use of plastic cover during NICU stay prevented hypothermia in premature infants, with the arterial blood oxygen saturation being within the normal limits. Yet, it did not seem to have a significant effect on other vital signs.

A partially structured interview was conducted with 10 nurses who worked in the ICU and 10 who worked in the Emergency Room (ER) in public and private hospitals in the metropolitan area of Porto Alegre, Brazil. The data was analyzed following the Semantic Analysis. The results indicated that nurses experienced ethical dilemmas associated with problems of overcrowding in emergency rooms and ICUs, poor specialized technology and orientation as to the benefits provided by law. We concluded that it is essential for nurses to participate in discussions that allow the planning of the different instances that have been promoting this often chaotic situation.

Clinical learning environment is the vehicle of clinical learning. However, a less supportive clinical environment may trigger anxiety in students while learning. The purpose of this study was to determine the correlation between clinical learning environment relationships and levels of anxiety in student nurses in the Nursing Science Study Program, Faculty of Medicine, Andalas University, 2011. This research used a cross-sectional approach with 69 students as respondents. The data was collected by applying two questionnaires, SECEE and DASS. The study showed that 49% of student nurses have a bad clinical learning environment, and 56.5% of student nurses have high levels of anxiety. There was a significant association between the clinical learning environment and levels of anxiety, with Spearman rank analysis p-value=0.000 and r=-0.769. Application of a mentorship method is needed in any room while having clinical learning in order to increase trust, self-dignity, confidence, and competence achievement of students.

Transcurridos dos cursos, la Facultad de Ciencias Médicas de Pinar del Río, como en otras facultades del país, ha visto triplicada su matrícula general. El curso 2006- 07 ya implementó la formación de recursos humanos de salud en cuatro carreras (Medicina, Enfermería, Tecnología y Psicología). Se realiza una investigación participativa del proceso de dominio de las características: carácter y personalidad de los alumnos y la forma de ser tratados por los profesores del Hospital "León Cuervo Rubio" de Pinar del Río. Los resultados expresan que el 90 % está situado en la temática y conduce el proceso, pero el 40 por ciento de estos no maneja la situación, o sea la conducción adecuada del proceso de acuerdo a las diferencias de los alumnos. Con el objetivo de motivar la acción de los profesores en la adquisición de aspectos pedagógicos sencillos para lograr la calidad esperada en la atención a los educandos, y rescatar sugerencias didácticas para la conservación de valores en nuestros estudiantes y presentar un modelo práctico y novedoso de transmisión de conocimientos, para que docentes y alumnos cuenten con una herramienta de consulta, buscando la transformación de la Universidad Médica a que estamos convocados. Se empleó el método de encuesta, para el diagnóstico de los problemas que confrontaban los profesores, elaborando un plan de medidas encaminadas a dar solución a los problemas, como resultado fundamental se obtuvo: la existencia de dificultades para enfrentar adecuadamente al profesional a que se aspira. Con este trabajo pueden mejorarse esos aspectos.<br>Two courses ago the Medical School in Pinar del Río, together with the other Medical Schools in the country, increased three times the general enrollment in the course 2006-2007. That is why the formation of human resources was established in the fourth medical majors (Medicine, Nursing, Health Technology and Psychology). A participative research about the learning process and its knowledge by the teaching staff was conducted aimed at knowing personal characteristics of the students and their behaviour at "León Cuervo Rubio" Hospital in Pinar del Río. Results of the research showed that 90% were aware of the contents and guided the process properly, but 40% out of them did not manage the process, considering individual differences of the students. With the purpose of motivating the actions of professors in learning simple pedagogical aspects to increase the expected quality in the teaching-learning process and to recover didactical suggestions, moral values and present a practical and new model of assimilating and transmitting knowledge as a teaching tool for professors and students, in order to achieve transformations in Medical Universities. Survey was the method used to diagnose the main problems professors faced with students, planning those measures designed to give solutions to such problems. Concluding that difficulties still prevail and following the objectives of this research paper those negative aspects found can be solved in the course of the teaching-learning process.

El estudio pretende dar un paso en el co&not;nocimiento y la comprensión del saber de sentido común que tienen los estudiantes de la salud y la enfermedad, ampliar la visión y el conocimiento en relación con sus formas de pensar porque de alguna manera ellas van a influenciar sus futuros comportamientos, tanto dentro de las instituciones de salud como en su vida cotidiana. El objetivo principal es el de identificar y analizar las representaciones sociales de salud y enfermedad de un grupo de estudiantes de pregrado en enfermería, para reflexionar en torno a la práctica docente cotidiana y la influencia que esta tiene en el proceso de construcción de conocimiento de los estudiantes. Para la recolección de información se utilizaron la expresión gráfica de ideas y el grupo focal. Los resultados muestran que para adquirir o mejorar su saber, ellos parten de sus propias obser&not;vaciones de la vida diaria, re-elaboran sus conceptos haciéndolos más accesibles a su entendimiento. En relación con la salud/en&not;fermedad no podemos hablar de conceptos ciertos o errados, simplemente de formas de comprender y vivir la experiencia de estar sano o enfermo, dentro de un contexto social e ideológico determinado.<br>The study tries to give to a passage in the knowledge and the understanding of the knowledge of sense common, that they have the students in relation to the health and the disease, to extend the vision and the knowledge in relation to its forms to think somehow, since, they are going to influence its future behaviors, as much within the institutions of health, like in its daily life. The primary target is the one to identify and to analyze the social representations of health and disease in a group of nursing predegree students, to reflect surroundings of the daily educational practice and the influence that this one has in the process of construction of knowledge of the students. For the information harvesting the graphical expression of ideas and the focal group were used. The results show that, to acquire or to improve their knowledge, they leave from their own observations of the daily life, re-elaborate their concepts doing them more accessible to their understanding. In relation to the health/disease we cannot speak of certain or missed concepts, simply of forms to include/understand and to live the experience to be healthy or ill, within determined a social and ideological context.
