This study aims to analyze the information seeking and information sharing behavior of child caretakers in Brgy. Timugan, Los Baños, Laguna, Philippines and how these affect their choice of health service providers on treatment of measles among their children. Data collected from questionnaires were described and analyzed using frequency counts, mean and percentages, and relationships of variables were tested using Cramer’s V test. Findings showed that majority of the child caretakers were female, belonged to 20-40 years age bracket, married, high school or college graduate with monthly income ranging from Php 5,000 to Php 20,000. The family size was relatively small with at least 1-2 children. The child caretakers were found to be (1) knowledgeable on basic information about measles, such as its symptoms, complications, and danger signs; (2) aware of the importance of vaccination in preventing measles; and (3) sought basic information on prevention, complication, and treatment of measles from Brgy. Health Centers, and private hospital was their topmost health service provider. They sought information only if their child had been infected with measles and shared information sought to their family members through face-to-face communication. Information seeking behavior was related to their monthly income, civil status, and number of children. Keywords: Information seeking, information sharing, measles treatment, seeking and sharing behaviorCite as: Perez, J.J.E., & Torres, C.S.

Ninety-two mainland Torres Strait Islanders, across five communities on mainland Australia, were consulted in relation to their access to health service providers. Similar numbers were interviewed in different-sized locations encompassing urban, rural, and remote areas. This exploratory study was the first to consider the health access issues of mainland Torres Strait Islanders. Overall, community controlled health services were the most commonly used exclusive health service providers, followed by private medical services and hospital outpatient services. The two most common reasons for the choice of health service provider in each community were convenience of access and the quality of relationship and trust with the medical staff. In general, the Torres Strait Islanders interviewed stated they are not comfortable seeking medical treatment, and delay accessing any health services. There was a high level of satisfaction in all communities with private medical services. Concerns were raised regarding long waiting periods at community controlled health services and hospital outpatient services, along with lack of confidentiality at community controlled health services. People wanted to see Torres Strait Islander staff at community controlled health services and hospital outpatient services to help facilitate greater access.

Patient Safety Incidents

Reports of patient safety incidence at health service provider have yet been optimized. Report rates are still low and health service providers were facing obstacles in reporting incidents. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to identify obstacles in reporting patient safety incidents. A literature review was the method of choice in this study. Literature sources were obtained from the Pubmed and Ebsco Medline databases based on inclusion criteria. Based on the literature search results that have been done, we get as many as six (n = 6) articles. The obstacles that were found in reporting incidents are the negatif impact felt by the reporter, the lack of time in reporting incidents, lack of feedback, certain types of incidents reported, lack of knowledge, incidence reports were not considered as obligation, lack of clarity on who should report, lack of anonymity, and reporting system that has yet been optimized. Meanwhile, the ways to overcome these obstacles are improving and increasing report rates, giving feedback, increasing anonymity and secrecy, as well as giving the reward, education, and training for incident reports. As conclusion, obstacles in reporting incidence surely can hinder patient safety and therefore need to be resolved. Commitment from policy maker were necessary in improving patient’s safety incident reporting system.

Abstract BackgroundLiterature on participation in health and social services suggests that youth are difficult to engage within health and social services. Indigenous youth are less likely to access services or to actively participate in decision-making regarding their personal care. This article analyzes health and social service providers’ perspectives, experiences and expectations regarding the roles of a particular group of Indigenous youth, families and community in care settings in Nunavik, Quebec.MethodsA snowball sampling method was used to recruit participants. A total of 58 participants were interviewed including psychiatrists, general practitioners, nurses, social workers, school principals, teachers, student counsellors, representatives of local committees (education committee, health committee), and police officers. Of the 58 participants, 39 were non-Inuit and 19 were Inuit. The interviews focused on three broad themes: 1) participants’ current and past positions/roles; 2) participants’ perceptions of the clientele (youth and their families) they work with; and 3) participants’ understanding of collaborations taking place within and between services (who works with whom) and community. Applied thematic analyses were conducted. The model that we present allows us to describe health service provider expectations and experiences regarding patient and community participation. ResultsWe organize findings around three themes: I) The most commonly described interventions, II) different types of challenges to and within participation; and III) what successful participation can look like according to service providers. Participants speak of the challenges for families to go towards services as well as the challenges for services providers to go towards youth and families, including personal, organisational and historical factors. ConclusionWe adopt a critical lens to reflect on the key findings in order to tease out points of tension and paradoxes that might hinder the participation of youth and families. We then use a constructive lens to amalgamate and build on service providers’ descriptions of challenges and successes to identify promising approaches that seem to encourage participation of youth and families.

Introduction: Tuberculosis is a highly contagious disease and requires long-term treatment and large amounts of medication. This can affect the high risk of Multidrug-Resistant Tuberculosis (MDR-TB). A health service approach in providing comprehensive management including promotive, preventive, curative, and rehabilitative is very necessary to overcome these cases. Aim of study: This article aims to determine interventions that can be carried out by health services in preventing the occurrence of multidrug-resistant tuberculosis (MDR-TB). Method: The method used is a literature review through national to international journals that examine the interventions that can be carried out by health services in preventing MDR-TB. The articles or data sources that have been obtained will be compared with one another so that the factors that most influence the occurrence of MDR-TB can be found. Results and Discussion: The literature search results show that health workers, especially doctors, have an important role in managing MDR-TB cases. Management of MDR-TB in a comprehensive manner is carried out through promotive, preventive, curative, and rehabilitative programs through a health service provider approach. Educational activities regarding TB, MDR-TB, or the possibility of drug resistance are important to do to prevent new cases of MDR-TB. Curative treatment is carried out to improve mental and social health. Furthermore, rehabilitative efforts are carried out as a means to improve health status recovery for MDR-TB sufferers. Conclusion: Health service providers can improve facilities, they can carry out promotive, curative rehabilitative management to reduce the incidence of MDR-TB.

Self-administered questionnaires related to demography and different dimensions on the satisfaction of caregivers towards the communication of health service provider was designed. Sixty caregivers were provided questionnaire and data was collected. Descriptive analysis, frequency, and percentage were calculated using SPSS 23 (SPSS Inc., Chicago, IL, USA) Results: The study showed that the majority of the caregivers (40%) were of the young age group (31-40 years). More than half (53%) of the caregivers were satisfied with different ways of communication about the patient's condition and treatment. In terms of communication mode, the majority of the caregivers were satisfied with related different ways of communication about the patient's condition and treatment (53.3%) followed by verbal (63.6 %) and non-verbal (50.6 %) respectively during their stay at the hospital. Conclusion: The current study found that caregivers were satisfied with the communication provided by health service providers. This suggests that the treatment provided to patients might have better outcome measures. Additionally, it may help to reduce the anxiety among caregivers regarding the patients’ condition.

Introduction: Patient satisfaction with health care services is vital in establishing gaps to be improved, notably in public health facilities utilised by the majority in Low and Middle-Income Countries. This study assessed factors that influenced patient satisfaction with United Bulawayo Hospitals and Mpilo Hospital services in Bulawayo in Zimbabwe. Methods: A cross-sectional survey was conducted on 99 randomly selected respondents in two tertiary hospitals in Bulawayo. Chi-squared tests were employed to determine associations between different demographic characteristics and patient satisfaction with various services they received. Multiple Stepwise Linear regression was conducted to assess the strength of the association between different variables. Results: Most of the participants who took part in the study were males in both selected hospitals. It was generally observed that patients were satisfied with these facilities' services, symbolised by over 50% satisfaction. However, patients at Mpilo were overall more satisfied than those at United Bulawayo Hospitals. Variables “received speciality services,” “average waiting times,” and “drugs being issued on time” were significant contributors to different levels of satisfaction observed between Mpilo and United Bulawayo Hospitals. Conclusion: Generally, patients are satisfied with the services and interactions with the health service providers at United Bulawayo Hospitals and Mpilo Hospitals. However, patients at Mpilo were more satisfied than those at United Bulawayo Hospitals. There is generally a need to improve pharmaceutical services, outpatient services, and interaction with health service provider services to attain the highest levels of patient satisfaction.

Sustainable development is a common challenge for all. Under this background, how to promote public participation in environmental communication has become an important topic. The purpose of this study is to understand the motivating mechanism behind Chinese WeChat users’ environmental information-sharing behavior by taking China’s unique social and cultural background into account. A comprehensive theoretical model for this study is constructed based on the uses and gratification theory, the norm activation model, and the theory of planned behavior. Through an online survey, data were collected from 526 participants to test the research model. The research results show that Chinese WeChat users’ environmental information-sharing behavior is motivated by both egoistic factors (self-presentation, information seeking, and socializing) and altruistic factors (awareness of consequences and ascription of responsibility). During the behavioral decision-making process, these motivating factors impact people’s actual sharing behavior via their attitudes toward the behavior, subjective norms, personal norms, and behavioral intention in various patterns. The findings are discussed from an interdisciplinary perspective of media usage, prosocial behavior, and behavioral psychology. This article not only proposes a new conceptual framework to explain social media users’ behavior of sharing environmental information but also provides important theoretical and practical implications regarding motivating public participation in environmental communication on social media.
