ABSTRACT Objective To describe a proposal for making and distributing masks for population in risk, with guidance on the stages of making them and the care in handling them based on the development of educational video and infographic. Method Experience report on the stages of the process of training people to make fabric masks for the population at risk, between March and June 2020, in a city in the interior of São Paulo. Results 1,650 masks were made and distributed to vulnerable population groups from different contexts and tutorial video and infographic were elaborated and released to enable people to make their own masks with resources available at home. Final considerations It was possible to manufacture and distribute masks for the population at risk and develop educational actions to contain the disease, given the advance of confirmed cases and deaths by Covid-19, corroborating the role of nursing in health education.

Mother Child Relationship

In the intersection with other dimensions such as ethnic, religious and social, the gender difference leads to dwell on aspects often neglected and to bring out the role of mothers in places of confinement that, together with their children, represent a population at risk for the difficulties inherent in the condition of restriction. The research is interested in understanding a mother-child relationship highly disturbed by some risk factors and the educational actions to be activated in the daily life of penitentiary institutions to support and accompany these women towards autonomy, to offer them possibilities of social inclusion and avoid marginalization that in the future could lead their children to seek radicalized insertion within groups.

While immunisation is the primary public health strategy for prevention of influenza, antivirals are important complementary measures for controlling seasonal/epidemic human influenza, especially when there is a mismatch between circulating and vaccine strains and in at-risk population groups.

Background This study aimed to describe the population at risk of severe COVID-19 due to underlying health conditions across the United Kingdom in 2019. Methods We used anonymised electronic health records from the Clinical Practice Research Datalink GOLD to describe the point prevalence on 5 March 2019 of the at-risk population following national guidance. Prevalence for any risk condition and for each individual condition is given overall and stratified by age and region. We repeated the analysis on 5 March 2014 for full regional representation and to describe prevalence of underlying health conditions in pregnancy. We additionally described the population of cancer survivors, and assessed the value of linked secondary care records for ascertaining COVID-19 at-risk status. Findings On 5 March 2019, 24.4% of the UK population were at risk due to a record of at least one underlying health condition, including 8.3% of school-aged children, 19.6% of working-aged adults, and 66.2% of individuals aged 70 years or more. 7.1% of the population had multimorbidity. The size of the at-risk population was stable over time comparing 2014 to 2019, despite increases in chronic liver disease and diabetes and decreases in chronic kidney disease and current asthma. Separately, 1.6% of the population had a new diagnosis of cancer in the past five years. Interpretation The population at risk of severe COVID-19 (aged ≥70 years, or with an underlying health condition) comprises 18.5 million individuals in the UK, including a considerable proportion of school-aged and working-aged individuals.

The core skills taught in the subject “Health Education Development” at La Trobe University are essential for students studying health promotion. As part of this subject, students are supported to adopt the role of a health education and development facilitator in delivering tailored sessions to their peers. In these simulated sessions, students engage in the practice (and teaching) of cooperative learning addressing the needs of vulnerable population groups across different settings. COVID-19 forced the delivery of this subject to an online-only model with little time for preparation. Changes that were introduced as a response to this transition included online workshops replacing face-to-face (F2F), modification of the F2F component of assessments to online, F2F workshop content adapted to online version, implementation of a “coteaching” model for the initial 3 weeks post-COVID-19 lockdown, and weekly online sessions held with the teaching team. The use of innovative activities provided ongoing feedback, which informed timely actions to improve and continue with the successfully delivery of the subject.
