ABSTRACT Objective: to characterize educational actions related to human communication health produced at the Tele-Health Center for health professionals in primary care. Methods: a cross-sectional study was conducted at the Tele-Health Center at the Federal University of Pernambuco Clinical Hospital. Educational actions produced by tele-consultants between 2008 and 2014 linked to the health of human communication were considered. Data collection was conducted in two phases. In the first phase, the data were explored and educational actions were selected based on the title and the relationship with human communication. In the second phase, each action was observed and evaluated for content. The data were analyzed using descriptive statistics. Results: a few educational actions related to human communication health were concentrated in 2014. Throughout the period analyzed, the actions were restricted to the field of language and concentrated on the education issue as well as the strategic area of child and adolescent health. The most frequent occupational category among the tele-consultants was nursing. Conclusion: a small number of educational actions addressing the health of human communication was produced and the participation of speech therapists remains incipient.

Objective: to identify the relationship between depression and the school average in students of the Faculty of Psychology and Therapy of Human Communication, UJED. Depression was assessed by the Beck Test to 110 students. It is a quantitative, exploratory, non-experimental, observational and cross-sectional study, with descriptive and correlational statistical analysis, with non-probabilistic sampling for convenience. Chronbach's alpha of the analyzed data was 0.89. 50% of the students presented some level of depression, with a significant correlation between depression and the school average with r: -. 247 and p: .009. Contribution: the results indicate that, in a very weak, but statistically significant way, the higher the school average, the lower the level of depression among students. The high frequency of the incidence of depression in the sample studied plus the significant correlation, suggest the need to implement depression care programs concurrent to the educational process.

Abstract Background: Antibiotic resistance is one of the biggest global threat in modern medicine. The situation is even more consequential in lower-and middle-income countries (LMIC) as financial limitations and political instability may become barriers to an impactful health policy. Therefore, The World Health organization has urge all nations to increase public awareness on antibiotic through effective educational interventions. In order for interventions to be successful, it is important to acknowledge that each country is unique in its problems as the demographic in LMIC are diverse. This study aims to identify the community’s attitude appropriateness towards antibiotic usage and their knowledge gaps, the relationship between antibiotic knowledge and their attitude as well as factors associated with inappropriate attitude towards antibiotic among outpatients attending an established primary care specialist center in Malaysia.Methodology : This cross-sectional study was conducted among 256 respondents attending a public primary care specialist clinic center. Those who fulfilled the inclusion and exclusion criteria from June to August 2017 were given a self-administered, validated and translated questionnaire. Pearson correlation was used to deduce the relationship between knowledge and attitude. Chi square test, independent t-test and multiple logistic regression were used to determine factors associated with inappropriate attitude towards antibiotic.Results: It was found that the respondents’ mean attitude and knowledge score were 29.5 ± 4.19 and 5.94 ± 2.4 respectively. The highest inappropriate attitude response was expecting antibiotic from the doctor for common colds and the most frequent incorrect knowledge response was on the domain of role of antibiotics. There is a weak positive relationship between antibiotic knowledge and attitude (r=0.315, n=256, p=0.0001). Respondents with low education level and poor antibiotic knowledge were at least 2.5 times more likely to have inappropriate attitude when handling antibiotics.Conclusion: Our study demonstrated the common inappropriate attitude towards antibiotic and areas of knowledge gap among the population. Antibiotic education should be incorporated in non-pharmacological measures of viral illnesses that is targeted among those with low education and poor antibiotic knowledge. The weak relationship between antibiotic knowledge and attitude suggest that health campaign should focus on behavioral change rather than a theoretical approach.

Shared decision-making (SDM) has been advocated as one effective strategy for improving physician–patient relationships and optimizing clinical outcomes. Our study aimed to measure physicians’ perception of SDM and establish the relationship between physicians’ perception of SDM and prescribing behavior in patients with upper respiratory tract infections. One cross-sectional study was conducted in Hubei Province from December 2019 to January 2020. The SDM questionnaire and prescription data of 2018 from electronic health records data were matched for each physician in this study. Multilevel modeling was applied to explore the relationship between physicians’ perception of SDM and antibiotic prescribing in primary care. Analyses were statistically controlled for demographic characteristics of the physicians and patients. Physicians’ positive perception of SDM had small but statistically significant effects on lower prescribing of antibiotics in the patient group aged over 40 years (odds ratio (OR) < 1; p < 0.05). Moreover, female physicians (OR = 0.71; p = 0.007) with higher educational levels (bachelor’s degree and above; OR = 0.71; p = 0.024) were significantly associated with the prescribing of less antibiotics (p < 0.05). A more positive perception of SDM was demonstrated as one significant predictor of less prescribing of antibiotics in the patient group over 40 years. There may be a promising focus of implementing SDM strategies targeting physician–patient communication in primary care.

Abstract Background: Nurse play a primary care role, although existing research about improving nurse well-being mainly focus on the workplace environment, there is controversy regarding the underlying factors. The purpose of this study was to investigate the relationship between organizational and patient behaviors with nurse well-being.Methods: A cross-sectional quantitative study was carried out in 77 hospitals in China between July 2014 and April 2015.Results: Of the 4885 respondents, 58.78% nurses reported being satisfied with their life; however, only 36.14% nurses were satisfied with their work, and 79.85% nurses reported they would not choose nursing again if given the opportunity. Within the organizational behaviors, nurses reporting very poor pay justice tended to report a higher turnover intention (OR = 2.03, 95% CI:1.29-3.21) and lower life happiness (OR = 0.67, 95% CI:0.45-0.98). Similarly, very poor attention to staff interests (OR = 1.79, 95% CI:1.15–2.77) and opinions (OR = 2.41, 95% CI: 1.55–3.73) were strongly associated with higher turnover intention. Within the patient behaviors, a low level of patient trust was more strongly and negatively associated with job satisfaction (OR = 0.44, 95% CI: 0.32–0.61) and life happiness (OR = 0.53, 95% CI: 0.37–0.75) compared with unreasonable demands by patients, and more positively associated with turnover intention (OR = 5.61, 95% CI: 3.66–8.60).Conclusion: Given the widespread distress among nurses, these findings suggest that interventions targeting improved nurse well-being should be expanded from individual nurses to hospital organization and patients, reflected the internal and external hospital environment, respectively.
