Abstract:There is a need for consensus on the quantity of data that must be available in a computer-based information system of a health care organization. In this paper we take up the issue of defining the data content of an information system and introduce the concept of Essential Data Sets with an explicit methodology which was applied to define a data set for the Maternal Health Services program. A key step in the method was a recognized technique used in systems development process called data modelling, in this case infological modelling, by an interdisciplinary group. A preliminary set of 86 data elements was identified and it provided the foundation for development of an application software for discussion and a real-world testing framework. The acceptability of the data set was tested in a laboratory perspective by retrospective data entry from records of 94 pregnant women registered at a maternal health care center in Sweden. Data from a total of 1,318 prenatal visits, an outcome visit, and a postnatal visit for each woman was entered into a computer using the software, with no loss of information. Thus, in a short-term perspective the acceptability of the data set was demonstrated. The software has since been implemented for pilot prospective studies at sites in India and Sweden. The use of a common data protocol is an essential foundation for patient outcome research, especially as the trend of health care management has changed from a “process of care” orientation to an “outcome of care” orientation.

ABSTRACTBackground: Nutritional status is the body's needs in the growth and development of toddlers. A recent sector study on nutrition development in Indonesia shows that the problem of child nutrition is still quite high in the community. North Maluku Province is the fourth place among the provinces which contributing nutrition problem in 2019 with a percentage of 20.9%. Good nutritional status itself is necessary to the growth and the development of toddlers. Since the number of nutritionists in North Maluku Province is still limited, this study was conducted to explore the collaboration between nutritionists and nurses in handling nutritional problems among toddlers in this province.Methods: This study used a qualitative research method and was conducted in 5 Primary Health Care Centers within the region of West Halmahera District. This research involved 15 participants consisting of nurses, nutritionists and the Heads of Primary Health Care Center. The data collection used in-depth interviews for each participant with a total of research duration of about 2 months.Result: The results showed that the collaboration between nurses and nutritionists was mainly to perform vital body examination and to give supplementary feeding for toddlers. Primary Health Care has a Plan of Action for this program of collaboration. Other than that, sometimes they provide some health education about exclusive breastfeeding, good nutritional intake and the importance of bringing toddlers to the integrated service center called Posyandu.Conclusion : Nurses and nutritionists in West Halmahera collaborate to improve toddlers nutritional status but the collaboration is still limited.

Background Dysphagia and difficulty with eating affects a significant portion of individuals with advanced dementia. Such problems with oral intake can have serious health consequences including mealtime distress, dehydration and malnutrition, aspiration, reduced quality of life, and increased mortality risk. Design We present the first data indicating that “Music & Memory” interventions improve swallowing in individuals with advanced dementia, thereby making oral feeding easier and potentially diminishing reliance on PEG. Setting Columbia Health Care Center, Wyocena, WI (with Music&Memory.org, Mineola, NY and Stony Brook University). Participants Residents with advanced dementia (N = 5). Measurements: Observation by eight professional caregivers. Results (1) Enhanced swallowing mechanism with Music & Memory prior to dining; (2) decreased incidents of choking during mealtime; (3) improved nutritional status; (4) reduced weight loss; (5) reduced need for speech interventions; (6) enhanced quality of life. Conclusions The preliminary results call for additional research.

Self Harm

Abstract. Background: Indigenous Australians experience a suicide rate over twice that of the general population. With nonfatal deliberate self-harm (DSH) being the single most important risk factor for suicide, characterizing the incidence and repetition of DSH in this population is essential. Aims: To investigate the incidence and repetition of DSH in three remote Indigenous communities in Far North Queensland, Australia. Method: DSH presentation data at a primary health-care center in each community were analyzed over a 6-year period from January 1, 2006 to December 31, 2011. Results: A DSH presentation rate of 1,638 per 100,000 population was found within the communities. Rates were higher in age groups 15–24 and 25–34, varied between communities, and were not significantly different between genders; 60% of DSH repetitions occurred within 6 months of an earlier episode. Of the 227 DSH presentations, 32% involved hanging. Limitations: This study was based on a subset of a larger dataset not specifically designed for DSH data collection and assesses the subset of the communities that presented to the primary health-care centers. Conclusion: A dedicated DSH monitoring study is required to provide a better understanding of DSH in these communities and to inform early intervention strategies.
