Pediatric Vaccines

Objectives Utilization of self-pay vaccines worldwide is very low, especially in China; the reasons for this are unclear. We aimed to identify factors that impact the decision among Chinese mothers to utilize self-pay vaccines for their children. Methods Mothers who were hospitalized at two hospitals in Zhanjiang City and who agreed to participate by completing the required questionnaire were eligible for this study. Results In total, 7518 respondents (n = 7592) completed the questionnaire and were included in this survey. The self-pay option was largely elected by mothers with one child, compared with those who had two or more children. Similarly, utilization by workers at government agencies and organizations was higher than that among factory workers or unemployed respondents. Mothers with a college degree or above had higher utilization than those with a high school level education or lower. The main issues affecting maternal decisions to utilize self-pay pediatric vaccines were safety, the protective effect, and the high cost. Conclusion Mothers with higher socioeconomic status were more inclined to self-pay for pediatric vaccines. Steps taken to enhance public awareness about the safety and protective benefits of self-pay vaccines, as well as lowering their cost will likely encourage broader utilization of these vaccines.

Introduction: Cancer is the second leading cause of death globally. Lack of awareness about cancer could negatively impact its prevention and management. Published research for myths and misconception about cancer indicated the poor public knowledge and the essential need for education and awareness. The aim of this study is to assess the level of knowledge about cancer among the public in Saudi Arabia. Methods: This is a cross-sectional study. We designed a survey that contains 11 sections with a total of 64 questions. Sixty-one questions were closed ended and 3 open ended questions. Surveys were distributed electronically as well as a hard copy to reach the highest number of participants. The target participants were the general population in Saudi Arabia. Results: We received a total of 11,186 responses. We excluded data of 663 participants as they did not meet the inclusion criteria. The highest percentage of participants were Saudi Arabian citizens (95%), females (77%), between 20-29 years old (47.2%), from the central region (60.6%), out of which 60.2% had an education level above high school. The mean age was 28.74 (± 10.75) years. The maximum total knowledge score was 31, while the mean score was 18.66 (± 5.1). The acceptable knowledge level was considered to be 60%. However, only 54.7% of the participants reached the acceptable knowledge level. There was a significant correlation between the total knowledge across participants with age group of 20-29 (p<0.01), above high school level of education (p<0.01), female gender (p<0.01), and having family member or friend diagnosed with cancer (p<0.01). Two thirds of the female participants were familiar with self-breast examination, while only 40.2% were aware of the mammogram. About one third of the females above 40 years had a mammography performed. Most of the participants (81.1%) get information about cancer from the internet. Conclusion: Cancer awareness levels and knowledge remain relatively low in the evaluated study population. Therefore, conducting public awareness programs are very essential.

The Relationship

Self-efficacy is based on competencies, this expression basically exists because of many people experience. The truth of that expression should confirm scientifically, for sure. This study aims to confirm the relationship between professional competence and multicultural competencies with the self-efficacy of school counselor in Banjarmasin City. The researcher collected data from 162 school counselor in Banjarmasin city, both those working at the junior high school level and high school / vocational school using the professional competency scale (α = 0.805), multicultural scale (α = 0.889), and school counselor self-efficacy scale (α = 0.899). The results of the study suggest that there is no positive and significant correlation between professional competence and multicultural competence together with the self-efficacy of school counselor (r = 0.006; p <0.05). However, it was found that there was a positive and significant correlation between professional competencies and multicultural school counselor (r = 0.516; p <0.01). Further research needs to check again the relationship between professional and multicultural competencies with school counselor self-efficacy using a wider range and sample size.

The purpose of this study was to examine inservice high school band directors’ perceptions and applications of democratic rehearsal procedures in concert band rehearsals. Respondents ( N = 216) were members of the National Association for Music Education who were currently teaching concert band at the high school level. Respondents indicated that “identify and describe opportunities for individual and ensemble performance improvement” and “student-led sectionals” were considered the most important democratic rehearsal procedures for their students to experience. These same procedures were also the most frequently used democratic rehearsal procedures. Analysis of open-ended responses revealed that respondents believed student ownership, student engagement, and student growth as musicians and leaders were advantages to implementing democratic rehearsal procedures. Potential disadvantages included issues related to student ability, rehearsal time limitations, unfamiliar classroom dynamics, and availability of classroom resources. Implications for music teachers are discussed.
