Background: Lymphatic filariasis (LF) is a parasitic disease that has been targeted for elimination through the Mass Drug Administration (MDA.) Although the MDA started in the Ankobra community in Ghana in 2000, LF prevalence as reported in 2014 was relatively high (4.5%). Non-compliance to the MDA has been associated with the persistent LF prevalence in endemic regions. Objective: This study determined the factors associated with the non-compliance to the MDA among patients living in the Ankobra community, Ghana. Methods: A cross-sectional study using a one-stage cluster sampling method was used to collect data between June and July, 2017 in Ankobra. Questionnaires were used to collect data from health workers, the MDA drug distributors and study participants in Ankobra. Data analysis was performed using STATA 14. Logistic regression was used to measure the degree of association between the dependent (non-compliance) and independent variables. Non-compliance rate was defined as the percentage of individuals who self-reported that they did not actually swallow the drugs provided during the MDA. Results: The MDA coverage and non-compliance rates were 73.5% (147/200) and 33.33% (49/147) respectively. The main reason for non-compliance was fear of drug adverse events (75.51%, 37/49). Thought of “not being susceptible to LF” was significantly associated with the non-compliance (aOR= 2.83, [CI= 1.15, 6.98]). Conclusion: Health education about the susceptibility of residents getting LF disease in endemic community must be intensified to improve compliance to MDA medication ingestion and thus meet the Global Elimination of Lymphatic Filariasis by 2020.

Abstract Background Some rich countries are actively recruiting labour from abroad for lack of health workforce. A high-level tendency for emigration among health care personnel in Serbia has attracted the attention of policymakers. In the search for evidence that can support the interventions to manage the outflow of the health workforce, the objective of the study was to obtain the opinion of medical doctors and nurses about retention factors. Methods A 65-item questionnaire was distributed to 384 hospital physicians and nurses to explore their views on fourteen aspects for labour outflow management (recruitment, training, job, salary, benefits, managers' behaviour, career development, relationships, work conditions, institutional image, organizational support, and three types of organizational commitment). Any difference between physicians and nurses and their responses' scores was assessed with Pearson Chi-Square (p < 0.05) and Independent Samples t-test (p < 0.05). Results Few nurses (17.8%) and physicians (13.6%) are familiar with measures taken in the country to manage the migration of healthcare workers, but most would work abroad if given such opportunities (56.8% and 63.0%, respectively). The responses of physicians and nurses differ for many aspects of management; the best scored were managers' behaviour (11.9 v 10.4, respectively, p < 0.001) and organizational support (15.3 v 13.4, respectively, p < 0.001), while the least scored were job benefits (4.1 v 4.0, respectively p = 0.531), salary (5.9 v 5.8, respectively p = 0.459), relationships (5.3 v 5.3, respectively p = 0.911) and performance assessment (5.3 v 4.9, respectively p = 0.008). Conclusions The study has identified success and failure factors for the outflow management of health workers in Serbia. Hospital doctors scored higher than nurses almost all retention factors. There is a space to strengthen the policy and practice to retain hospital doctors and nurses in the country. Key messages Hospital nurses are in a worse position than hospital doctors in regard to almost all aspects of outflow management. Stakeholders should invest in retaining medical doctors and nurses in the hospital.

ObjectivesTo identify available literature on prevalence, severity and contributing factors of scan-associated anxiety (‘scanxiety’) and interventions to reduce it.DesignSystematic scoping review.Data sourcesOvid MEDLINE, Ovid EMBASE, Ovid PsycINFO, Ovid Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials, Scopus, EBSCO CINAHL and PubMed up to July 2020.Study selectionEligible studies recruited people having cancer-related non-invasive scans (including screening) and contained a quantitative assessment of scanxiety.Data extractionDemographics and scanxiety outcomes were recorded, and data were summarised by descriptive statistics.ResultsOf 26 693 citations, 57 studies were included across a range of scan types (mammogram: 26/57, 46%; positron-emission tomography: 14/57, 25%; CT: 14/57, 25%) and designs (observation: 47/57, 82%; intervention: 10/57, 18%). Eighty-one measurement tools were used to quantify prevalence and/or severity of scanxiety, including purpose-designed Likert scales (17/81, 21%); the State Trait Anxiety Inventory (14/81, 17%) and the Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (9/81, 11%). Scanxiety prevalence ranged from 0% to 64% (above prespecified thresholds) or from 13% to 83% (‘any’ anxiety, if no threshold). Mean severity scores appeared low in almost all measures that quantitatively measured scanxiety (54/62, 87%), regardless of whether anxiety thresholds were prespecified. Moderate to severe scanxiety occurred in 4%–28% of people in studies using descriptive measures. Nine of 20 studies assessing scanxiety prescan and postscan reported significant postscan reduction in scanxiety. Lower education, smoking, higher levels of pain, higher perceived risk of cancer and diagnostic scans (vs screening scans) consistently correlated with higher scanxiety severity but not age, gender, ethnicity or marital status. Interventions included relaxation, distraction, education and psychological support. Six of 10 interventions showed a reduction in scanxiety.ConclusionsPrevalence and severity of scanxiety varied widely likely due to heterogeneous methods of measurement. A uniform approach to evaluating scanxiety will improve understanding of the phenomenon and help guide interventions.

Abstract It is important to understand how actual evapotranspiration (ETa) changes and what the dominant contributing factors are. This study investigated the impacts of climatic factor and vegetation coverage on the variations of ETa using a Budyko-based framework. Climatic seasonal index and vegetation coverage index were selected as indicating factors. Two reservoir watersheds, i.e. the Wangkuai Reservoir Watershed and the Xidayang Reservoir Watershed, of the Daqing River Basin were selected as case studies. Also, relationships between the ETa and climatic and vegetation factors were analyzed. Results showed that the improved vegetation conditions positively contributed to the ETa changes, leading to an increase of 42.15 and 58.56 mm of ETa in the two watersheds, while the increasing climate seasonality had a negative effect, resulting in a drop of 11.48 and 13.47 mm of ETa. Vegetation coverage was recognized as the dominant factor to the changes of ETa, compared to the climatic factor. Our research could offer supporting information for water resources management, agricultural production improvement and eco-environment construction in arid regions.

Improper practices, poor attitudes and lack of knowledge by food handlers are contributing factors for the spread of foodborne diseases. Food safety knowledge is an important factor in improving food safety practices and subsequently food safety attitude. This study is aimed at exploring the food safety knowledge, practice and attitude of FUNAAB students. A self completed questionnaire was answered by randomly selected 270 students from each of the nine (9) colleges in the university and analyzed using SPSS software. The study revealed that almost all of the students had a high level of food safety awareness but the knowledge was not to large extent translated into practice. Majority of the students also had good food safety attitudes as many of them are willing to change their food handling behav-iour when they know they are incorrect (94.8%). The study further revealed similar level of food safety knowledge between the male and female. Despite the level of students’ knowledge, their choice of eating place on campus was determined by the price of the food. This study therefore concluded that good knowledge of food safety does not determine students’ safe handling practices and choice of eating place.Keywords: Food safety
