Health Profiles

School health clinics are one way to meet the objectives in Healthy People 2010 for adolescent health. To determine the relationship between adolescent health status and use of the school health clinics in four Mississippi high schools, the Child Health and Illness Profile–Adolescent Edition (CHIP-AE) was used. The CHIP-AE identifies health status, giving scores on resilience, comfort, risks, and satisfaction, resulting in health profiles. One hundred seventy-one 9th-graders participated in this descriptive study. Students with the highest discomfort and risk scores had no use of the school health clinic. Students with fair health profiles were the highest users of the school health clinic when compared to all other profiles. Of those students with very poor health status, 60% reported the school health clinic was their only source of health care. In this study, the term school health clinic refers to the health office staffed by a nurse without an advanced degree.

UKS (School's Health Clinic), widely known as school health clinic, has an important role in increasing the health status of students in school. However, in fact, the implementation of UKS has not been at its best due to several factors. Objective know out the description of the implementation of the trias UKS in Sokaraja District, Banyumas Regency in 2019. Method this study used a qualitative descriptive design. The purposive sampling and snowballing sampling were used to determine the subjects of this study. There were 5 research informants in the school consisting of the principal, the persons in charge of UKS and a little doctor, a term used to describe students who meet the criteria and have been trained to participate in carrying out some of the efforts to maintain and improve health at school. Data retrieval by observation and in depth interviews. Results health education in each school was always implemented directly during learning and during breaks by the little doctors. The health services carried out by UKS have been running well, but it is only limited to providing first aid to the sick students or teachers. There would be further examination only if the patient did not get better, the UKS would do some coordinations then take the patients to the Puskesmas or known as public health centre. The development of a healthy environment was carried out by the school by accustoming children to maintain the school environment to dispose of trash in its place. In addition, UKS has also routinely checked the condition or health status of students by checking their height, weight and dental health. School health units in triassic good schools namely by implementing health services for each student , healthful environmental health education and guidance.

Introduction Patient satisfaction is widely used to measure quality of healthcare by identifying potential areas for improvement. Aim of study is to assess patient satisfaction towards pharmacy services and its associated factors using newly developed questionnaire among outpatients attending public health clinics. Materials and methods Public Health Clinic Patient Satisfaction Questionnaire (PHC-PSQ) towards pharmacy services was developed using exploratory factor analysis and Cronbach’s α. A cross-sectional study was conducted among 400 patients visiting the pharmacy in three randomly selected public health clinics recruited via systematic random sampling. Data was collected using a set of questionnaire including PHC-PSQ. Factors associated with patient satisfaction was analysed using multiple linear regression. Results Final PHC-PSQ consisted of three domains (administrative competency, technical competency and convenience of location) and 22 items with 69.9% total variance explained. Cronbach's α for total items was 0.96. Total mean score for patient satisfaction was 7.56 (SD 1.32). Older age and higher education were associated with lower patient satisfaction mean score. Patients who had visited the pharmacy more than once in the past three months, perceived to be in better health status and had a more correct general knowledge of pharmacists expressed higher patient satisfaction mean score. Conclusions PHC-PSQ is a newly developedtool to measure patient satisfaction towards pharmacy services in public health clinics in Malaysia. Patient satisfaction was relatively high. Age, education, frequency of visit, self-perceived health status and general knowledge of pharmacists were factors significantly associated with patient satisfaction.

The Relationship

Purpose: This research aims to study the relationship between perception of elderly’s health and health behaviors in Nakhon Nayok province, Thailand Methods: This research was a cross-sectional study. The questionnaire was used to collect the data. This research was conducted in Nakhon Nayok province. The sample size was 270 which applied Taro Yamane's formula at a significant level 0.05. The descriptive statistics was implemented to describe the variables by presenting the frequency, percentage, mean and standard deviation. Furthermore, multiple regression analysis was applied to analyze the relationship between perception of elderly’s health and health behaviors. The statistical significance was considered to reject Hypothesis-null at < 0.05. Results: From a total of 270 people, more than 58.22% of the elderly perceived that they had moderate health conditions. Most elderly had congenital diseases (62.2%). The multiple regression analysis results showed that health status perception and health status perception when compared to their cohort related significantly to health behavior. Conclusion: The government should support the elderly on participation, trust, engagement, and cultural concern of the people in the community, which can contribute to promoting the physical, mental and social condition of the elderly.

The Relationship

<b><i>Background:</i></b> Stroke risk scores (CHADS<sub>2</sub> and CHA<sub>2</sub>DS<sub>2</sub>-VASc) not only predict the risk of stroke in atrial fibrillation (AF) patients, but have also been associated with prognosis after stroke. <b><i>Objective:</i></b> The aim of this study was to evaluate the relationship between stroke risk scores and early neurological deterioration (END) in ischemic stroke patients with AF. <b><i>Methods:</i></b> We included consecutive ischemic stroke patients with AF admitted between January 2013 and December 2015. CHADS<sub>2</sub> and CHA<sub>2</sub>DS<sub>2</sub>-VASc scores were calculated using the established scoring system. END was defined as an increase ≥2 on the total National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale (NIHSS) score or ≥1 on the motor NIHSS score within the first 72 h of admission. <b><i>Results:</i></b> A total of 2,099 ischemic stroke patients with AF were included. In multivariable analysis, CHA<sub>2</sub>DS<sub>2</sub>-VASc score (adjusted odds ratio [aOR] = 1.17, 95% confidence interval [CI] = 1.04–1.31) was significantly associated with END after adjusting for confounders. Initial NIHSS score, use of anticoagulants, and intracranial atherosclerosis (ICAS) were also found to be closely associated with END, independent of the CHA<sub>2</sub>DS<sub>2</sub>-VASc score. Multivariable analysis stratified by the presence of ICAS demonstrated that both CHA<sub>2</sub>DS<sub>2</sub>-VASc (aOR = 1.20, 95% CI = 1.04–1.38) and CHADS<sub>2</sub> scores (aOR = 1.24, 95% CI = 1.01–1.52) were closely related to END in only patients with ICAS. In patients without ICAS, neither of the risk scores were associated with END. <b><i>Conclusions:</i></b> High CHA<sub>2</sub>DS<sub>2</sub>-VASc score was associated with END in ischemic stroke patients with AF. This close relationship is more pronounced in patients with ICAS.
