Abstract Background: Research based on the use of biological material stored in biobanks together with health information and clinical data may produce new strategies for prevention, early detection, accurate diagnoses, and tailored treatments. A postal survey on the knowledge and attitude towards research biobanking was conducted among a sample of individuals previously recruited in urban primary care services in Rome (Italy), and screened for major depressive disorder (MDD) (SET-DEP project). The present study aims at exploring the attitude of these participants towards the potential future disclosure of individual health results when participating in research biobanking. Methods: The survey was conducted with a validated questionnaire on the knowledge and preferences about donation for research biobanks; self-perceived health was collected and The Satisfaction With Life Scale was administered. Means and percentages were compared across groups by using t test or ANOVA and chi-square test respectively. Results: Out of 416 subjects who underwent the screening for MDD, 51 (12.2%) subjects responded to the mail questionnaire. The large majority of respondents (42 subjects, >82%) declared they would agree to the potential use of their biological samples for biomedical research purposes only if no feedback results regarding health or predisposition to diseases would be given to them. The agreement towards research biobanking was not associated with satisfaction with life (ANOVA: p=0.82) or self-perceived health (chi-square test: p=0.98). Conclusions: It is widely recognized that willingness to donate diminishes when the research scenario raises moral, religious or political concerns. Nevertheless, other emerging concerns, more deeply linked to an individual psychosocial sphere, may also affect research biobanking. Our findings show a prevailing preference opposing the disclosure of individual health results not only among MDD positive screened but also – and even more – among MDD negative screened participants. This suggests that there might be relevant personal factors influencing people’s preferences with respect to the feedback of individual results in the case of psychiatric disorders such as depression. Moreover, these preferences do not seem to depend on the perceived heath status or subjective wellbeing of respondents.

Subjective wellbeing is a negative or positive assessment of the experience experienced in all aspects of life. The purpose of this study was to identify the subjective welfare level of scavengers based on sociodemography. Using a quantitative approach with survey design methods and with incidental sampling techniques, the sample in the study involved 87 scavengers composed of 41 men and 46 women, aged 17-55 years, and domiciled in Banda Aceh. Subjective prosperity was measured using Satisfaction with Life Scale (SWLS) and Scale of Positive and Negative Experience (SPANE). The analysis methods used were descriptive statistics and chi square test for independent. The result of chi square statistic analysis showed that there was no correlation between subjective welfare of the scavengers in sociodemographic group (gender p > 0.05; age p > 0.05; last education p > 0.05; marital status p > 0.05; income p > 0.05). The result of descriptive analysis showed that the dominant research subjects were at high subjective well-being level (58 subjects or 66,7%).

INTRODUCTION: Every year the crime rate reported against women has been on the rise but the conviction rate of offenders was found to be below 30%.This could be due to the lack of evidences against the perpetrators.Young medical graduates or interns are the first point of contact in any sexual abuse cases and the onus of collecting evidence depends on their knowledge and attitude.The present study was designed based on this back drop. METHODOLOGY: after obtaining ethics committee clearance 91 interns were recruited for the study. The data was collected using a validated questionnaire comprising of 20 questions related to knowledge and 10 questions about attitude. Based on the scores obtained they were categorised into three groups of poor, average and good knowledge. Analysis between knowledge level and gender of interns was done using chi-square test and difference in knowledge score of males and females was tested using independent sample t test. RESULTS: Of the 91 male interns 75% of males and 62.7% of females had good knowledge but this was not statistically significant.Significant difference in the attitude of male and female interns was noted. CONCLUSION: Lack of knowledge in cases of sexual abuse can result in escape of the perpetrators of this heinous crime.The training of interns regarding medicolegal aspects should be made mandatory.Further the medical students also need to be exposed to these legal aspects as a part of their training program.

Purpose: The purpose of this research is to determine different factors explaining the intention of public in context of blood donation in the district of Jamshoro, Sindh. Methodology: The data were collected of 400 samples from four different tehsils of Jamshoro. The data was collected through well-structured questionnaire. The survey was conducted in 2019 and cluster sampling technique was used. The internal consistency of the questionnaire was examined, and Chi-Square test was applied for final analysis. Findings: The public's willingness to donate blood is limited, according to this study (χ2 (1) = 0.88, p=0.39). The media does not perform any significant role in awareness generating and educating the general public about the importance of donating blood (χ2 (1) = 24.35, p=0.001). Women make up a small percentage of blood donors in society (χ2 (1) = 0.05, p=0.82). This research also compares blood donors and non-donors based on gender and age. The contribution of blood donors in younger age was higher (χ2 (3) = 19.31, p=0.01) in males (χ2 (1) = 27.98, p=0.001). Conclusion: The awareness of blood donation was higher in males, higher education, and young age peoples (18-28) years. Furthermore, the awareness about blood donation should be made known through electronic and print media along with the educational programs at educational institutions. Blood bank lab assistants should be given training to keep up to date with the latest information on blood donation, samples, and screening tests.

Background. According to the WHO, glaucoma is the second leading cause of blindness worldwide. About 50% of the world’s glaucoma cases come from the Asian population, and in Malaysia itself, the prevalence of glaucoma is increasing. However, glaucoma is still a foreign word to our community despite the high prevalence. Therefore, there is an urgent need to determine the awareness of glaucoma among the community and its associated factors. Results. This study showed that only 25.2% of our respondents were aware of glaucoma and it is associated with ethnicity, religion, education, and household income. Besides, among those who were aware, they fall into the group of poor knowledge of glaucoma. On the other hand, the knowledge of glaucoma was associated with occupation and the awareness of glaucoma by definition. The validated questionnaire was distributed and the data were analyzed by SPSS software using t-test, one-way ANOVA, and chi-square test. Conclusion. Awareness and knowledge of glaucoma in this population is low. These findings suggest that there is a need for an efficient information and education strategy to be designed and conducted to increase the awareness and knowledge of glaucoma so that early detection can be made and effective management of individuals with this condition can be delivered.
