Abstract. This article is aimed at expanding and deepening knowledge in GIS analysis for medical professionals. Key task of described research is to elaborate a methodology of 3D mapping and visualization of the multiflat buildings in order to study most socially valuable diseases on the apartment scale in the St. Petersburg city. The use of this methodology allows to avoid the aggregation of geographical information within one building, and, on the other hand, allows to move from a general assessment of the prevalence of the disease to specific cases. In this case, the methodology is considered as primary health care support. The paper describes elaborated approach to detailed 3D mapping of multiple disease hotbeds in multiflat buildings. Main benefit of the proposed set of data processing and mapping techniques is the capability of apartment-scale connectivity evaluation of the hotbeds inside multiflat buildings.

This study was conducted to determine the opinion of physiotherapists and physiotherapy assistants with regards to physiotherapyservices required at a Primary Health Care (PHC) level in two provinces ofSouth Africa, one being urban (Gauteng) and the other one more rural(Limpopo). Using a descriptive study design, a sample consisting of 728 physio-therapists and assistants was selected from the HPCSA register list. Datacollection was by a self-administered questionnaire. Sixty six percent of physiotherapists in Gauteng Province and 68% inLimpopo Province agreed that promotive services are required whereas thepercentage for physiotherapy assistants in Gauteng province and Limpopoprovince were 78% and 89% respectively. Preventative services were suggested by 82% and 85% by physiotherapistsand 95% and 96% by physiotherapy assistants in Gauteng and Limpopo. Eighty nine percent and 88% of physio-therapists, 80% and 85% of physiotherapy assistants in Gauteng and Limpopo respectively agreed that curative services are required.  Rehabilitative services were suggested to be required by 83% and 90% of physiotherapists, 85% and 95% by physiotherapy assistants in Gauteng and Limpopo respectively.

Based on SUS guidelines, with principles of universality, completeness and equity, we carried out a study with the objective of identifying conceptions, desires, fears and suggestions regarding humanized health care for transvestites, in primary health care. The theoretical-methodological path was the Dialectic Hermeneutics using an in-depth interview and use of "scenes", with seven participants. The interviewees reported difficulties in accessing and using health services. In view of the difficulties encountered, in order to carry out a humanized care, we identify some necessary changes in the interlocution of health with the transvestite population: Training of health professionals, dialogue with the social movement, dissemination campaigns and the approximation with the meaning of the experience of being transvestite There is an urgent need for effective work in the training of health professionals, as well as in the daily lives of our lives, surrounded by discriminatory attitudes, in the name of commitment to suffering the other.

Purpose National Health and Morbidity Survey of Malaysia 2011 revealed that hypercholesterolemia (35.1 per cent, 6.2 million) was the primary leading causes of cardiovascular disease in Malaysia. Currently, three established recommended approaches such as therapeutic lifestyle change (TLC) diet, pharmacotherapy (simvastatin) and TLC + simvastatin are available to the public but, to our knowledge, have never been compared in Malaysia Primary Health Care setting. Hence, this paper aims to compare the lipid lowering effects of these three approaches in a primary health care clinic. Design/methodology/approach This randomized trial enrolled 180 patients with hypercholesterolemia who met adult treatment panel III (ATP III) criteria. All participants were randomized to TLC diet, simvastatin (10-20 mg/d) or TLC + simvastatin diets. The TLC group was enrolled in a 12-week multidisciplinary lifestyle program that involved monthly 45 minutes to hour meetings. The simvastatin group received medication, and traditional counseling was conducted by registered medical officer. Another group was enrolled into TLC + simvastain treatment. The primary outcome measure was the percentage change in low-density lipoprotein-cholesterol. Secondary measures were changes in weight loss, blood pressure and dietary changes. Assessments were repeated at three-month interval. Findings Lifestyle changes combined with simvastatin had a better lipid lowering effect compared to the other two treatments. However, TLC had a better weight and blood pressure reduction compared to the other two treatments. Nevertheless, TLC group showed reduction proportions similar to standard therapy with simvastatin or TLC + simvastatin. TLC has proven as an alternative approach to hyperlipidemia for a subset of patients unwilling or unable to take statins especially in a community-based, primary health care setting. Research limitations/implications Weight loss was not recorded for simvastatin participants, and this was the major drawback of this study, and there was no comparable weight loss reduction with other groups. Originality/value In Malaysia, the efficacy of hypocholesterolemic therapies among patients who are receiving the most common lipid-lowering drug, simvastatin, in primary health care setting has not been clearly defined. There is also a lack of research on the efficacy of TLC conducted by registered dietitian in a primary health care setting in Malaysia.

Introduction: In the nurses group, it is required to have great psychosocial skills, guaranteeing the high quality of professional services. Purpose: To assess the psychosocial working conditions of nurses, depending on their place of employment. Material and methods: The study involved 570 randomly selected nurses. It was based on a diagnostic survey using a standardised questionnaire of Psychosocial Working Conditions (PWC). Results: Correlation factors between the overall and average level of satisfaction with the work were quite high – exceed 0.30 and even 0.40. The greater was the need for change, the lower was the job satisfaction. High sense of self-control at work, social support, or wellbeing was linked with better ratings. Psychophysical requirements were assessed as the worst, and the least frequent were the additional requirements resulting from the conflict nature of the job and overload. Nurses from voivodeship hospitals rated their work lower in the category of intellectual demands, and nurses from the Primary Health Care - in the category of requirements resulting from the conflict nature of the job and overload. Behavioural control and the need for change were different for PHC and the other two hospitals. Psychological wellbeing in district hospitals was worse than in the other two types of medical institutions. Conclusions: The larger was the sense of work control, or sense of social support, the higher was the job satisfaction. The higher the level of requirements and the need for change, the lower was the satisfaction of the assessed aspects of work. There were clear differences in the assessment of the psychosocial working conditions of nurses from hospitals and nurses from PHC.

Psychiatric Problems

The referral pattern by three major sources to the Child and Adolescent Psychiatric Unit of a university teaching hospital in Hong Kong is reviewed. In a health care system where primary health care is not properly developed, referral of children with psychiatric problems relies heavily on secondary health care professionals. Over a three year period, 37.8% of the new cases were referred by the other departments of the same hospital, while the Education Department and general practitioners each referred 17.4%. Overall, up to 80% of these children had definite psychiatric problems. Because the morbidities of these children often traverse physical, psychological, social, and educational dimensions, a close liaison with all the different professionals involved is vital.
