Reputation-seeking can explain some decisions of U.S. federal agencies. However, it has remained unclear whether it could be used in the European context where agencies have proliferated in national and regional governance in the past few decades. This article shows that reputation-seeking can occur at autonomous agencies in the European context. A unique participant-observational study of an international public health agency acting in response to the 2009 H1N1 “swine” influenza pandemic provides bases for this conclusion. It adds empirical support for the proposition using real-time observations of and in-depth interviews on the agency’s decision-making processes.

Continuous Monitor

OBJECTIVES Alarms from continuous cardiorespiratory and pulse oximetry monitors may contribute to parental anxiety and poor sleep during hospitalization, yet families also may find monitoring reassuring. Our objective was to understand how families perceive the utility, benefits, and harms of continuous monitoring. METHODS In this single-center qualitative study, we used semistructured interviews and direct observation. We enrolled families of patients of a variety of ages and clinical diagnoses. We extracted patient demographic information (age, diagnosis) from the health record. Semistructured interviews were recorded and transcribed. Detailed field notes were taken during observations. We used an inductive thematic approach to develop and refine codes that informed the development of themes. RESULTS We recruited 24 families and conducted 23 interviews and 9 observation sessions. Respiratory conditions (eg, bronchiolitis, asthma) were the most common reason for hospitalization. The hospitalized children covered a range of ages: <4 weeks (16%), 4 weeks to 6 months (20%), 7 months to 5 years (44%), and >5 years (20%); 55% had previously been hospitalized. Families expressed varying degrees of understanding the utility of monitors and often conducted their own assessments before notifying staff about alarms. Families expected monitoring, including negative effects like sleep disruption, as part of hospitalization. Families perceived the benefit of monitoring in context of previous hospital experiences, often seeing less benefit and worrying less about alarms in subsequent hospitalizations. CONCLUSIONS Family members continue to find reassurance from cardiorespiratory monitoring despite evidence that it offers limited benefit outside of the ICU setting. Parental perspectives should be addressed in future deimplementation efforts.

AbstractTransmission dynamics of swine influenza pandemic is analysed through a deterministic model. Qualitative analysis of the model includes global asymptotic stability of disease-free and endemic equilibria under a certain condition based on the reproduction number. Sensitivity analysis to ponder the effect of model parameters on the reproduction number is performed and control strategies are designed. It is also verified that the obtained numerical results are in good agreement with the analytical ones.

Willingness To Adopt

Objectives: To examine willingness to adopt protective behaviours, and perceived barriers, during a pandemic influenza, in people with schizophrenia. Methods: A cross-sectional study using a questionnaire was conducted exploring the responses of 71 adults with schizophrenia and 238 adults without schizophrenia attending a general practice setting, regarding willingness and perceived barriers to adopting protective measures against the 2009 swine influenza pandemic in Australia. Results: The majority of participants with schizophrenia reported that they would be at least moderately willing to be vaccinated (74.2%), isolate themselves (73.2%), wear a face mask (54.9%) and increase hand washing (88.6%). However, 71.8% were concerned about “catching” flu from vaccination. Predictors of willingness to adopt protective actions included self-efficacy (vaccination, face mask, isolation), perceived likelihood of contracting swine flu (vaccination), educational status (face mask) and perceived overall risk from swine flu (face mask). Key modifiable perceived barriers to adopting protective measures were identified, including cost and need for transport assistance for vaccination. Conclusions: People with schizophrenia report being generally willing to adopt protective measures, especially increased hand washing, during a pandemic influenza. Understanding perceived barriers may enable development of effective interventions to increase uptake of protective measures.
