Abstract Background From 2010 to 2015, there was a twofold growth of new HIV/AIDS infection in Beijing among young students aged 15–24. HIV/AIDS education was found effective in promoting positive behavior change related to HIV/AIDS prevention. However, little evidence was found on the evaluation of HIV/AIDS education policy. This study aimed to evaluate the college-based HIV/AIDS education policy in Beijing. Methods By using a mixed method approach, the current study reviewed college-based HIV/AIDS education policy at national level and in Beijing from 1985 to 2016 and conducted policy content analysis to evaluate the policy ability to structure implementation. Cross-sectional surveys in 2006 and 2016 were used to evaluate college’s implementation of relevant policies. T test, χ2 test, and logistic regression were used to analyze college students’ perception of HIV/AIDS education provided in their colleges and their knowledge of HIV/AIDS and their risk factors. Results Fourteen pieces of national policy and four pieces of Beijing’s policy were identified. Policy’s ability to structure implementation was at moderate level. The percentage of students in Beijing who ever perceived HIV/ADIS education at colleges decreased from 71.14 to 39.80%, and the percentage of students with comprehensive knowledge of HIV/AIDS dropped from 50.00% in 2006 to 40.42% in 2016. Conclusions HIV/AIDS education in college had drawn considerable attentions from the Chinese government, while the policy implementation needs further strengthening.

Studi literatur menyebutkan bahwa kebutuhan keluarga saat mendampingi anak dirawat di PICU sangatlah kompleks dan bersifat subjektif sehingga pengkajian kuesioner dirasa belum mampu mewakili gambaran kebutuhan keluarga yang sebenarnya. Tujuan dari penelitian ini adalah untuk membandingkan persepsi perawat PICU dengan keluarga pasien PICU mengenai prioritas kebutuhan keluarga dari anak yang dirawat di ruang rawat intensif. Penelitian ini meng-gunakan mixed method approach dengan pendekatan kuantitatif menggunakan desain cross sectional di tahap pertama pengumpulan data, dilanjutkan dengan pendekatan kualitatif yang dilakukan dengan cara wawancara mendalam di tahap ke dua. Data kuantitatif diperoleh dengan menggunakan Critical Care Family Need Inventory yang telah di-modifikasi. Hasil analisis data menunjukkan tidak adanya perbedaan yang signifikan antara persepsi perawat dan keluarga dalam menilai kebutuhan keluarga pasien PICU. Hasil ini menunjukkan bahwa secara umum perawat PICU di dua rumah sakit yang menjadi sampel dalam penelitian ini lebih mampu memahami kebutuhan keluarga pasien dibandingkan dengan perawat dalam penelitian-penelitian sebelumnya. Kata Kunci: kebutuhan keluarga pasien PICU, mixed method, persepsi perawat Abstract  Mutual understanding between nurses and patients’ family on family needs during their child’s stay in PICU. The literature review indicated that factors affecting parents’ needs in a PICU are interrelated and not easily, or appropriately, assessed by using an inventory. Therefore, the objective of this study was to explore the needs of parents whose child has been an in-patient in a PICU, not only from the parents, but also from the perspective of nurses. A mixed method approach has been employed in this study. Quantitative data has been collected by using modified version of Critical Care Family Need Inventory, while the qualitative data was gained through in-depth interview.  The result of data analysis showed that there were no significant differences between the perception of the nurses and parents regarding the needs. The finding suggests that in general, PICU nurses in these two hospitals have better understanding about the parents' needs in comparation with most of nurses in the previous studies.  Keywords:  families’ needs in PICU, mixed method, nurses’ perception

BackgroundCommunity multidisciplinary teams (MDTs) represent a model of integrated care comprising health, social care, and the voluntary sector where members work collaboratively to coordinate care for those patients most at risk.AimThe evaluation will answer the question, ‘What are the enablers and what are the restrictors to the embedding of the case study MDT into the routine practice of the health and social care teams involved in the project?’MethodThe MDT was evaluated using a mixed-method approach with normalisation process theory as a methodological tool. Both quantitative and qualitative data were gathered through a questionnaire consisting of the NoMAD survey followed by free-form questions.ResultsThe concepts of the MDT were generally clear, and participants could see the potential benefits of the programme, though this was found to be lower in GPs. Certain professionals, particularly mental health and nursing professionals, found it difficult to integrate the MDT into normal working patterns because of a lack of resources. Participants also felt there was a lack of training for MDT working. A lack of awareness of evidence supporting the programme was shown particularly within management, GP, and nursing roles.ConclusionSpecific recommendations have been made in order to improve the MDT under evaluation. These include adjustments to IT systems and meeting documentation, continued education as to the purpose of the MDT, and the engagement of GPs to enable better buy-in. Recommendations were made to focus the agenda with specialist attendance when necessary, and to expand the MDT remit, particularly in mental health and geriatrics.
