Abstract Background User involvement in developing community-based public health services has been on the agenda for decades. User involvement refers to the variety of ways in which service users or public citizens participate in the development of health services: from proving information on their needs to actively being involved in decisions about future services. Former studies found that user involvement is meaningful to the people involved and could have a favorable impact on the quality of services. Thus, it is timely to systematically identify and provide a comprehensive overview of user involvement methods used in public health studies. The aim of this scoping review is to provide an overview of the current body of empirical research where user involvement methods have been used to develop community public health services and identify its possible impact on the individual as well as services. Methods A systematic scoping review of user involvement methods aiming to develop public health services followed Arksey and O'Malley, 2005 framework. Six databases: CINAHL, Cochrane Library, Embase, PsycINFO. PubMed, Scopus and ProQuest, were searched from October till November, 2019. Search terms were: user involvement, methods and health care with corresponding synonym. All hits were double screened. Results 6.044 studies were identified of which 38 studies lived up to the criteria. Preliminary findings from coding and synthesizing studies have identified a variety of user involvement Methods 19 of the studies used complex, multi-facetted packages of methods aiming to identify needs, prioritize and formulate recommendations for future services. 19 studies used different kinds of group meetings and some used certain techniques to facilitate the process. Many reported the impact, and 13 evaluated the methods. The impact of using the methods varied from impact on individual, group, or service/political level. Final results will be presented at the conference. Key messages Studies on user involvement methods in developing community public health services and its impact are sparse. User involvement is privotal in developing sustainable public health community services.

Muhammadiyah's charitable efforts as a community based on economic assets have a significant number of assets that are non-profit oriented. This certainly will be very different in the perspective of economic assets when viewed from the accounting field because Muhammadiyah charity efforts are based on publicity, this is very interesting to study because there are still a lack of public-based research. The purpose of this study is to reveal the perspective of the meaning of charity business as a community based on economic assets in the Muhammadiyah Business Charity sector in health in Jember Regency. This research uses a phenomenology paradigm with qualiative methods to interpret charity business as an asset-based economy of humanity. The perspective of economic assets is similar to the founders statement of Muhammadiyah, KH Ahmad Dahlan, such as ta'awun, tawashi ', and fastabikhul khoirot. When the internalization of economic assets is successful, the performance of charity efforts will continue to increase and not cause fundamental ideological conflicts. The results of the research show that Amal is a community-based economic asset and human resource as an economic driver of the people, of course as a means of propaganda, a means of improving public health services, and as an organizational asset. In essence, the charitable endeavors of Ranap Ambulu clinic, Asyifa Wuluhan Clinic, Ar Rahman Bangsalsari Clinic and dr. Suherman Sumbersari in Jember Regency is a means to improve the community health services community and also the assets of Muhammadiyah organizations in Jember Regency.Keywords Business Charity, Perspective, Economic Assets, PhenomenologyAbstrak: Upaya amal usaha Muhammadiyah sebagai komunitas yang didasarkan pada aset ekonomi memiliki sejumlah besar aset yang berorientasi nirlaba. Ini tentu akan sangat berbeda dalam perspektif aset ekonomi jika dilihat dari bidang akuntansi karena upaya amal usaha Muhammadiyah didasarkan pada publisitas, ini sangat menarik untuk dikaji karena masih kurangnya penelitian berbasis publik. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengungkap perspektif makna aset ekonomi amal usaha Muhammadiyah di bidang kesehatan di Kabupaten Jember. Penelitian ini menggunakan paradigma kualitatif dengan metode fenomenologis interpretif untuk menginterpretasikan aset ekonomi amal usaha berbasis keumatan. Perspektif aset ekonomi dikonfirmasi oleh nilai permaknaan yang dipromosikan oleh pendiri Muhammadiyah yaitu Kyai Haji Ahmad Dahlan, antara lain ta'awun, tawashi ', dan fastabikhul khoirot. Kemudian makna aset ekonomi diinternalisasi dalam semua upaya amal melalui beberapa tahap secara bersamaan. Ketika internalisasi aset ekonomi berhasil, kinerja upaya amal akan terus meningkat dan tidak menyebabkan konflik ideologis mendasar. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa Amal adalah aset ekonomi berbasis masyarakat dan sumber daya manusia sebagai pendorong ekonomi rakyat, tentu saja sebagai sarana propaganda, sarana meningkatkan pelayanan kesehatan masyarakat, dan sebagai aset organisasi. Intinya, upaya amal klinik Ranap Ambulu, Klinik Asyifa Wuluhan, Klinik Ar Rahman Bangsalsari dan dr. Suherman Sumbersari di Kabupaten Jember adalah sarana untuk meningkatkan pelayanan kesehatan masyarakat dan juga aset organisasi Muhammadiyah di Kabupaten Jember.Kata Kunci:  Amal Usaha, Aset Ekonomi, Berbasis Keumatan

The Impact

On the basis of the China Migrants Dynamic Survey Data of 2015, the author provides an analysis of how a different household registration impacts migrants’ access to preventive care provided by public health services, such as health records and medical knowledge, in areas of immigration. This study shows that eliminating the distinction between agricultural and non-agricultural permanent residence registration could raise the rate of establishing health files, but it has no significant effect on migrants’ health knowledge. In fact, encouraging those with non-agricultural registration to move to different counties that belong to the same city or to different cities that belong to the same province can notably eliminate the impact of a different household registration status. Improving the income level of low-income migrants can have the same impact. Recommendations to enable migrants to obtain basic public health services include abolishing the separation of agricultural and non-agricultural household registration, increasing the permanent settlement rate of resident migrants, promoting basic medical security systems across the whole country, strengthening career training, and enhancing the education level of migrants.

The Impact

Background: The literature shows that migration characteristics are a potential pathway through which migration can influence basic healthcare service utilization. The goal of the study was to explore the effect of migration characteristics on the utilization of basic public health services for internal elderly migrants in China and to identify the pathways that might promote their utilization of basic public health services.Methods: We studied 1,544 internal elderly migrants. The utilization of basic public health services was determined through participation in free health checkups organized by community health service institutions in the past year. Migration characteristics were represented by years of residence and reasons for migration. Other variables included demographic characteristics and social factors, e.g., the number of local friends and exercise time per day were measured to represent social contacts. Multivariate binary logistic regression was employed to explore the association of the variables with the likelihood of using community health services.Results: A total of 55.6% of respondents were men, and the mean age was 66.34 years (SD 5.94). A low level of education was observed. A total of 59.9% of migrants had been residents for over 10 years, and the main reason for migrating was related to family. Of these migrants, 12.9% had no local friends. Furthermore, 5.2% did not exercise every day. Social contacts were complete mediators of the impact of migration characteristics on the utilization of primary healthcare.Conclusion: Our study highlighted the mediating role of social factors in the relationship between migration characteristics and the utilization of basic public health services among Chinese internal elderly migrants. The findings supported the need to increase the opportunities for social contacts between local elderly individuals and internal elderly migrants.

Community-based mental health services are important for the treatment and recovery of patients with mental health disorders. The Chinese government has made the establishment of a highly efficient community-based health service an enduring priority. Since the 1960s, community-based mental health services have been developed in many Chinese cities and provinces. National policies, including mental health regulations and five-year national mental health working plans, have been issued to support the development of quality of mental health services. The accessibility and efficiency of community-based mental health services are now highly promoted to community residents. According to the National Standards for Primary Public Health Services, community-based mental health services are one of the most important components of primary public health services. They are mainly provided via Community Health Service Centres (CHCs), by a combination of general practitioners, public health physicians, nurses and social workers. Patients receive individualized and continuous health services according to their rehabilitation status. These services include regular physical examination, health education, rehabilitation guidance, social function rehabilitation training, vocational training and referral services; family members also receive care and psychological support. Future work will focus on expanding mental health service coverage and usage, increasing awareness of mental health and decreasing stigma, and strengthening service capability to establish an integrated model to enhance the overall efficiency of mental health services.

Abstract Background China is making efforts to promote the equalization of National Essential Public Health Services (NEPHS) for internal migrants. Studies have demonstrated that the impacts of social capital on health services are different among subgroups of people. Clarifying these differences will help China accurately promote the equalization of NEPHS for the internal migrants and provide reference for other countries. Methods Data from the China Migrant Dynamic Survey of 2017, involving 130,642 migrants in 31 provinces were used to clarify the complex relationship between social capital and the utilization of NEPHS. Social capital was divided into regional cognitive social capital (RCSC), regional structural social capital (RSSC), individual cognitive social capital (ICSC), and individual structural social capital (ISSC). Then, multi-level logistic regression was conducted to analyze their impacts on the utilization of NEPHS of the migrants, and whether such impacts are moderated by sex and education. Results (1) There are significant differences in the levels of CSC, SSC, and NEPHS utilization between different sexs and educational subgroups of the migrants, among which the educational difference is more prominent. (2) An interaction exists between the levels and dimensions of social capital and NEPHS projects. Also, the impact of SSC on NEPHS is always greater than that of CSC at the same level. (3) The effects of RCSC, RSSC, ICSC, and ISSC on NEPHS utilization by migrants are not moderated by sex. However, a high education could weaken the relationship between RCSC and health education, ISSC and health education, and RSSC and health records but strengthen the correlation between RSSC and health education. Conclusion Social capital plays an important role in the access of migrants to NEPHS. Governments should vigorously promote the construction of regional social capital, encourage migrants to actively participate in community activities, especially pay attention to the enhancement of the migrants with low SES to the destination identity.

Abstract Background: China is making every effort to promote equal access to public health services(PHS) for the internal migrants. Studies have demonstrated that the impact of social capital on PHS is different among subgroups of people. Clarifying these differences will help China accurately promote the equalization of PHS for the internal migrants and provide reference for other developing countries.Methods: Data from the China Migrant Dynamic Survey of 2017, involving 130642 migrants in 31 provinces were used to clarify the complex relationship between social capital and the utilization of National Essential Public Health Services (NEPHS). Social capital was divided into regional cognitive social capital (RCSC), regional structural social capital (RSSC), individual cognitive social capital (ICSC), and individual structural social capital (ISSC). Then, multi-level logistic regression was conducted to analyze their impacts on the utilization of NEPHS of the migrants, and whether such effects are moderated by gender and education. Results: The results suggest: (1) There are significant differences in the levels of CSC, SSC, and NEPHS utilization between different genders and educational subgroups of the migrants, among which the educational difference is more prominent. (2) An interaction exists between the levels and dimensions of social capital and NEPHS projects. Also, the impact of SSC on NEPHS is always greater than that of CSC at the same level. (3) The effects of RCSC, RSSC, ICSC, and ISSC on NEPHS utilization by migrants are not moderated by gender. However, education could weaken the relationship between RCSC and health education, ISSC and health education, and RSSC and health records but strengthen the correlation between RSSC and health education. Conclution: This study demonstrated complex interactions between the dimensions and levels of social capital, NEPHS projects, and the population characteristics of migrants. As the government strives towards the equalization of NEPHS, these interactions should be fully considered.
