Nepal is pursuing Social Health Insurance as a way of mobilizing revenues to achieve Universal Health Coverage. The Social Health Insurance governance encourages service providers to maintain quality and efficiency in services provision by practicing strategic purchasing. Social Health Security Programme is a social protection program which aspires to achieve the goals of Social Health Insurance. Social Health Security Development Committee needs to consider following experiences to function as a strategic purchaser. The Social Health Security Development Committee need to be an independent body instead of falling under Ministry of Health. Similarly, purchasing of health services needs to be made strategic, i.e., Social Health Security Development Committee should use its financial power to guide the provider behavior that will eventually contribute to achieving the goals of quality and efficiency in service provision. The other social health security funds should be merged with Social Health Security Development Committee and develop a single national fund. Finally, the state has to regulate and monitor the performance of the SHI agency.

The aim of this paper was to photograph this precise moment in history, focusing on the situation of older adults during the COVID-19 health emergency in Northern Italy. In particular, we analysed the relationship between social networks and social support, sport and recreational activity, and the use of communications technologies in December 2020. We investigated and discussed such use of technologies, wondering if and how it helped to compensate for the diminishment in social health, usually gained trough social interactions and the practice of sport and physical activity. We examined how reduction of mobility, social distancing and isolation measures imposed by the government to reduce the spread of COVID-19, affected the living conditions of the older adults, in particular their social health, and the level of sport and physical activity they were engaged in. We collected data through interviews with the subjects, assessing their social networks, the perceived social support provided by their family members, friends and caregivers, and the level of sport and physical activity they were engaged in. Moreover, we analysed the impact of technological communications devices, which were employed to help older adults to maintain their relationships with the outside world and to preserve their active life. The interview questions were formulated based on the Lubben Social Network Scale-Revised (LSNS-R), the short version of the Social Support List (SSL12-I) for the elderly and the Physical Activity Scale for the Elderly (PASE). A relationship was found between the social health related to physical activity of the older adults subjects during the COVID-19 emergency and the use of communications technologies, which played a role in mitigating the impact of the crisis on their social health by helping them to keep physically and socially active.

The aim of this paper is to calculate the impact of the reduction or elimination of net borrowing on the Greek economy. The assumption made for this calculation is that a reduction of net borrowing leads to a reduction of government consumption. The effects on the Greek economy of reducing borrowing are calculated by using the Social Accounting Matrix. The results show that a reduction of borrowing must be replaced by a significant increase in production and the resulting reductions relate primarily to sectors in which the state has sizeable participation, such as education, health, security, public administration and defence services.

Background:Objectives:To describe the impact of the disease on patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA), systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) or ankylosing spondylitis (EA) on the social health of people who suffer from it.Methods:Cross section of a consecutive sampling of patients with AS, RA or SLE. Selection criteria: age ≥18 years with AS (ASAS criteria), AR (EULAR / ACR 2010 criteria) and SLE (ACR-EULAR criteria) able to understand and willing to perform the questionnaires. Protocol: All patients who attended a consultation between October and December 2019 were offered to participate in the study. After their approval and verification of the inclusion criteria, they conducted a battery of PROMIS platform questionnaires focused on assessing their social health. Likewise, data on their disease, comorbidities and socio-labor profile were collected. All participants signed an informed consent and the study was approved by the CEIC of the referral hospital.Main outcomes:The variables collected by the questionnaires evaluate social health in several areas: mobility, depression, satisfaction with social relationships, social isolation, company, ability to participate in social activities, emotional support, instrumental support and support through information. Statistical analysis: Descriptive, bivariate analysis using t-student, ANOVA and χ2;, followed by multivariate linear regression (RLM) (Vd: ability to participate in continuous social activities 7-35).Results:151 patients participated: 50 with RA (90% women, mean age 55.12 ± 13.64 years), 51 with AS (51% women, 52.59 ± 12.15 years) and 50 patients with SLE (96 % women, mean age 47.14 ± 11.3 years). The most frequent comorbidities were: arthritis, visual impairment, anxiety and depression (table 1). These results present a greater tendency to depression and anxiety patients of SLE. No significant differences were observed in most of the social questionnaires analyzed between groups (table 2), except in a worse mobility in patients with RA and AD compared to SLE (p = 0.017). About half of the patients in all groups had depression (43%) and reduced mobility (63.6%). All groups are satisfied with their social role 128 (85.3%), have the capacity to participate in social activities 140 (94%) and feel accompanied 147 (97.4%). On the contrary, the social isolation figure is 42 (28%). Social isolation implies an affectation of the serious social role in patients who claim to be accompanied, so it is not secondary to loneliness or lack of family support.In the multivariate analysis it was observed that the independent variables that were associated with the ability to participate in social activities were satisfaction with social relations (β = 0.349 [p = <0.001]), mobility (β = 0.309 [p = < 0.001]), depression (β = -0.186 [p = <0.011]) and social isolation (β = -0.195 (p = 0.001)). This model would explain 32% of the variability in the ability to participate in social activities. (R2 = 0.32).Conclusion:The predictors of the ability to participate in social activities in patients with RA, AD and SLE were: depression, mobility deficit, social isolation and satisfaction with social activities. Patients with RA, AD and SLE present similar data, so there are no differences due to pathologies in the social role, highlighting that they have a good social support and despite this there is social isolation being able to be associated with the deficit in mobility and high rates of depression.Disclosure of Interests:None declared

The study aims to assess the opportunities and challenges of the health insurance program carried out by Health Insurance Board as a social insurance program by Government of Nepal. Data have been collected through in-depth interview with 21 persons including the social health insurance policyholders, and non-policyholders who are inhabitants of Rantanagar Municipality- 6, and Bharatapur Metropolitan City- 10 of Chitwan district. Besides, experts in insurance and senior managers of insurance companies were also interviewed. It has followed the interpretive-naturalistic approach with the method of interviewing. As per the opinion of respondents HIP is effective in cost reduction of rich, and access to health service for poor. In government hospitals policyholders suffer from prolonging waiting, lack of facilities and experts and in private hospitals there is undue expenditure and discrimination in expert service. Even though the objective of the social health program is established social justice, cash-payer and insurance-payers are discriminated; corroborating the nature of neoliberal society. There are still uninsured persons because of ignorance, lack of premium, and distrust of HI service. The study suggests that HI service should be delivered through non-profit hospitals, the highest quality without discrimination of cashpayer and insurance-payer, and prolonged waiting.

We analyze the concepts of “social health” (based on sociocentric, utilitarian, medical and social approaches), consider concept of “social activity”; research data reflecting the relationship between the social health of adolescents and their social activity are presented. In the process of analysis, we conclude that the social activity of the adolescent acts as one of the main factors of his social health, contributing to the development of socially significant knowledge, skills necessary for their self-realization and social adaptation in society, reflects his desire and the ability to build relationships with others, the inclusion of the personality of a adolescent in society. In the process of the analysis, we conclude that one of the main tasks of developing an adolescent’s personality is the formation of harmonious relations between an adolescent and society, that is, the development of his social health, which is possible only if the adolescent is included in active work on the development of social norms, rules, values, duties, where he would act not just as an observer, but as an active participant in what is happening. In order to empirically study the impact of social activity on the adolescent’s social health, a preliminary study was conducted in which adolescents from the Moscow State Budgetary Institution of Family Education Promotion Center “Y.V. Nikulin School of Circus Art” of the Moscow Department of Labor and Social Protection.

The present research examines the social value attributed to endorsing the belief in a just world for self (BJW-S) and for others (BJW-O) in a Western society. We conducted four studies in which we asked participants to assess a target who endorsed BJW-S vs. BJW-O either strongly or weakly. Results showed that endorsement of BJW-S was socially valued and had a greater effect on social utility judgments than it did on social desirability judgments. In contrast, the main effect of endorsement of BJW-O was to reduce the target’s social desirability. The results also showed that the effect of BJW-S on social utility is mediated by the target’s perceived individualism, whereas the effect of BJW-S and BJW-O on social desirability is mediated by the target’s perceived collectivism.
