Predictive Study

Abstract Background: This predictive correlation research aimed to study variables that predict six months of breastfeeding among Thai adolescent mothers. Methods: The participants were 253 Thai adolescent mothers and attending the Department of Well-baby Clinic at hospitals of Bangkok Metropolitan Administration. Data were collected by using questionnaires comprising the following areas: personal characteristics and intention to be pregnant, perceived benefits of breastfeeding, perceived barriers to breastfeeding and breastfeeding self–efficacy, family support, perception of performance from nurses, digital literacy, and the infant feeding form passing checking of the validity of contents and computing Cronbach’s Alpha Coefficient. Data were analyzed by using frequency, percentage, mean, standard deviation, and logistic regression.Results: The findings revealed that digital literacy [Exp (B) = 1.248, 95%CI = 1.120-1.392], self– efficacy [Exp (B) = 1.066, 95%CI = 1.018-1.116] and intention to pregnancy [Exp (B) = 1.139, 95%CI = 1.009-1.284] could explain 37.5% (R2 = 0.375, p<0.05) of the variance in the six months exclusive breastfeeding among Thai adolescent mothers. Conclusions: The result of this study may help health care providers in developing some activities and strategies to improve digital literacy skills. They should enhance self-efficacy for breastfeeding practice among adolescent mothers by providing knowledge and practice of breastfeeding at the antenatal clinic. Moreover, a predictive study on factors related to six months of breastfeeding among Thai adolescent mothers may be done in the future. This can be achieved by realigning breastfeeding policy directives as well as traditional family practices, community collaboration in conjunction with the hospital to promote breastfeeding beyond six months of infants’ age, school, and establishment.

Safety Incident

OBJECTIVE: Mistreatment of health care providers (HCPs) is associated with burnout and lower-quality patient care, but mistreatment by patients and family members is underreported. We hypothesized that an organizational strategy that includes training, safety incident reporting, and a response protocol would increase HCP knowledge, self-efficacy, and reporting of mistreatment. METHODS: In this single-center, serial, cross-sectional study, we sent an anonymous survey to HCPs before and after the intervention at a 213-bed tertiary care university children’s hospital between 2018 and 2019. We used multivariable logistic regression to examine the effect of training on the outcomes of interest and whether this association was moderated by staff role. RESULTS: We received 309 baseline surveys from 72 faculty, 191 nurses, and 46 residents, representing 39.1%, 27.1%, and 59.7%, respectively, of eligible HCPs. Verbal threats from patients or family members were reported by 214 (69.5%) HCPs. Offensive behavior was most commonly based on provider age (85, 28.5%), gender (85, 28.5%), ethnicity or race (55, 18.5%), and appearance (43, 14.6%) but varied by role. HCPs who received training had a higher odds of reporting knowledge, self-efficacy, and experiencing offensive behavior. Incident reporting of mistreatment increased threefold after the intervention. CONCLUSIONS: We report an effective organizational approach to address mistreatment of HCPs by patients and family members. Our approach capitalizes on existing patient safety culture and systems that can be adopted by other institutions to address all forms of mistreatment, including those committed by other HCPs.

Behavior Adjustment

Increasing evidence suggests that vigorous physical activity (PA) is more beneficial than moderate PA for reducing adiposity and improving bone health in youth. However, beginning a vigorous PA program is not an easy behavior adjustment and the change is likely to be aversive for some individuals. In order to benefit from vigorous PA, health care providers need to help individuals increase self-efficacy.

The Relationship

The evolving digitization of teaching and learning in higher education institutions requires students to be digitally literate (Miller 2015). Despite the echoes of being “digital natives” (Prensky 2001), many EFL students experience difficulties when locating, retrieving, evaluating, and synthesizing digital information at their disposal, especially when the information is in English. To this end, this study is conducted to scrutinize the relationship between EFL students’ second language (L2) digital literacy skills and strategies (DLSs) self-efficacy and their English proficiency level. A total of 93 Saudi students majoring in English at Prince Sattam bin Abdulaziz University were surveyed for their English proficiency level and their abilities to use three major domains of digital literacy skills. The data were analyzed statistically using descriptive measures and ANOVA. The results revealed a significant positive correlation between English proficiency and L2 DLSs. Students with intermediate and upper-intermediate English levels displayed low efficacy in their abilities to navigate, evaluate, and synthesize online information compared to advanced English users. The study concluded that students with higher English proficiency are more responsive to digital literacy skills and can perform well in digitally enhanced environments than basic English users. Pedagogical implications and areas for future research are discussed.

The Relationship

Background: Many factors affect youth adherence to asthma medications. Better understanding of the relationship between problems reported by youth in using asthma medications, self-efficacy, outcome expectations, and adherence is needed. Objective: The study examined the relationship between youth and caregiver problems in using asthma medications, asthma management self-efficacy, outcome expectations, and youth- and caregiver-reported adherence to asthma controller medications. Methods: Adolescents with persistent asthma and their caregivers were recruited at 4 pediatric practices. Youth were interviewed after their medical visit while caregivers completed a questionnaire. Multivariable linear regression was used to analyze the data. Results: Of 359 participating youth, 319 were on controller medications. Youth reported 60% average adherence, whereas caregivers reported 69%. Youth who reported difficulty using their inhaler correctly and youth who reported difficulty remembering to take their medications were significantly less likely to be adherent. Caregivers who reported that it was hard to remember when to give the asthma medications were significantly less likely to report their child being adherent. Both youth and caregivers with higher outcome expectations were significantly more likely to self-report being adherent. Conclusions: Pharmacists and other health care providers should consider asking youth and caregivers about problems in using asthma medications, self-efficacy in managing asthma, and outcome expectations for following treatment regimens, so that they can help youth overcome difficulties they might have in managing their asthma.

Significant Difference

Background: Chronic diseases are in an increasing trend worldwide. Although, this rise may be due to a number of factors, one reason for the worldwide increase is due to better treatment protocols and higher awareness among patients. The management of chronic disease depends on the patient’s ability to alter the modifi able risk factors. The burden of disease can be decreased with better self- efficacy. Objectives: To assess the self-efficacy among patients with chronic diseases Methodology: In this descriptive, cross sectional study, data was collected purposively from 329 patients with chronic diseases presenting in the Medical outpatient department of Kathmandu Medical College. Face to face interview method was used to collect data using Chronic Disease Self-efficacy Scale and Patient Assessment Chronic Illness Care Questionnaire. Association with selected socio demographic variables were computed with Mann Whitney U and Kruskal Wallis H tests. Results: The mean age of the patients was 62±13 years. Males, those earning, those never admitted in the hospital for their disease and those who exercised were found to have better self-efficacy. There was significant difference in self-efficacy in terms of age, education, marital status, caregivers and body mass index. Self-efficacy showed significant positive correlation with monthly family income and health care provider score whereas significant negative correlation with age and monthly cost of treatment. Conclusion: Self-efficacy of patients with chronic disease can be improved with certain modifiable factors like daily exercise and appropriate body mass index. Younger patients, males, educated, employed and married patients were found to have better self-efficacy. Proper counselling by health care providers also improves self-efficacy.

BACKGROUND Pulmonary rehabilitation (PR) is an effective intervention for the management of people with chronic respiratory diseases, but the uptake of and adherence to PR programs is low. There is potential for mobile health (mHealth) to provide an alternative modality for the delivery of PR, overcoming many of the barriers contributing to poor attendance to current services. OBJECTIVE The objective of this study was to understand the needs, preferences, and priorities of end users for the development of an adaptive mobile PR (mPR) support program. METHODS A mixed methods (qualitative and quantitative) approach was used to assess the needs, preferences, and priorities of the end users (ie, patients with chronic respiratory disorders) and key stakeholders (ie, clinicians working with patients with chronic respiratory disorders and running PR). The formative studies included the following: (1) a survey to understand the preferences and priorities of patients for PR and how mobile technology could be used to provide PR support, (2) ethnographic semistructured interviews with patients with chronic respiratory disorders to gain perspectives on their understanding of their health and potential features that could be included in an mPR program, and (3) key informant interviews with health care providers to understand the needs, preferences, and priorities for the development of an mPR support program. RESULTS Across all formative studies (patient survey, n=30; patient interviews, n=8; and key stakeholder interviews, n=8), the participants were positive about the idea of an mPR program but raised concerns related to digital literacy and confidence in using technology, access to technology, and loss of social support currently gained from traditional programs. Key stakeholders highlighted the need for patient safety to be maintained and ensuring appropriate programs for different groups within the population. Finding a balance between ensuring safety and maximizing access was seen to be essential in the success of an mPR program. CONCLUSIONS These formative studies found high interest in mHealth-based PR intervention and detailed the potential for an mPR program to overcome current barriers to accessing traditional PR programs. Key considerations and features were identified, including the importance of technology access and digital literacy being considered in utilizing technology with this population.
