Use Of Health Care

Understanding health service utilisation by community groups can be used to enhance cost-effective service delivery planning. In an inquiry into general health needs, and experiences with health service utilisation by Chinese living in Melbourne, we conducted a series of focus group discussions to explore community health-seeking behaviour. Seven focus groups were drawn from community groups and bilingual health workers in the period September-October 1999. Discussions were carried out in dialect familiar to the participants, facilitated by trained multilingual researchers, tape recorded and transcribed in Chinese and then translated into English. Cross validation was carried out by an independent researcher. Themes that emerged from these discussions included common pathways to care seeking, barriers to the use of health care services, general health concerns, and perceived validity of health information sources. Participants opt for self care when feeling unwell if the condition is perceived as ?not severe?. Use of over-the-counter medication is usually the first course of action. There is a tendency to ?wait and see? when feeling unwell. The use of Traditional Chinese Medicine Practitioners (TCMP) is common, while continuing to see Orthodox Western Medicine practitioners. There are, however, common concerns about the quality of care provided by TCM practitioners and their qualifications. Language, transport, and cost are among other barriers that undermine the use of health care services. Participants reported diabetes, heart disease risk factors, peptic ulcer, hay fever and asthma, poor vision, dental problems, social isolation, and gambling among the most common health concerns. Participants accepted health information from a wide range of sources and placed greater trust in material disseminated by SBS Chinese Radio Programs and the Chinese Health Foundation; an established community organisation run by voluntary health professionals. In conclusion, the study confirmed a number of patterns by which the Chinese community sought and utilised health services and associated factors.

Abstract Research about pregnant women in jail is scant. This exploratory study begins to fill this gap by examining the demographics; background characteristics; and self-reported physical health, mental health, and substance use challenges reported by 27 pregnant women incarcerated in a large midwestern county jail. It further reports on the prenatal care before and during their incarceration, plans of these pregnant women for delivery of their child, caring for their infant after their release from jail, and their expectations of paternal or family support post-release. Among the sample, 66.7 percent reported a physical health care problem, 48.2 percent had received mental health treatment, and 18.5 percent had substance use treatment in the previous year, but only 51.9 percent had seen a health care professional before their incarceration. All women expected the father of their child to provide financial support, but only 76.9 percent expected the father to be involved with the child. The authors also discuss implications of the findings for jail health care services and reintegration policy and practice for pregnant women.

The novel coronavirus (COVID-19) is an infectious disease caused by a newly discovered coronavirus. Despite strong efforts that have been taking place to control the pandemic globally, the virus is on the rise in many countries. Hence, this study assessed the maternal health care services utilization amidst the COVID-19 pandemic in West Shoa zone, Central Ethiopia. A community-based cross-sectional study was conducted among 844 pregnant women or those who gave birth in the last 6 months before the study. A multi-stage sampling technique was used to select the study participants. The data were collected through face-to-face interviews using a semi-structured questionnaire. Logistic regressions were performed to identify the presence of significant associations, and an adjusted odds ratio with 95%CI was employed for the strength and directions of association between the independent and outcome variables. A P-value of <0.05 was used to declare statistical significance. The prevalence of maternal health service utilization during the COVID-19 pandemic was 64.8%. The odds of maternal health service utilization was higher among mothers who had primary (AOR = 2.16, 95%CI: 1.29–3.60), secondary (AOR = 1.97, 95%CI: 1.13–3.44), and college and above education (AOR = 2.89, 95%CI: 1.34–6.22) than those who could not read and write. Besides, mothers who did travel 30–60 minutes (AOR = 0.37, 95%CI: 0.23–0.59) and 60-90minutes (AOR = 0.10, 95%CI: 0.05–0.19) to reach the health facility had a lower odds of maternal health service utilization than those who did travel <30 minutes. Moreover, mothers who earn 1000–2000 (AOR = 3.10, 95%CI: 1.73–5.55) and > 2000 birrs (AOR = 2.66 95%CI: 1.52–4.64) had higher odds of maternal health service utilization than those who earn <500 birrs. Similarly, the odds of utilizing maternal health service were higher among mothers who did not fear COVID-19 infection (AOR = 2.79, 95%CI: 1.85–4.20), who had not had to request permission from husband to visit the health facility (AOR = 7.24, 95%CI: 2.65–19.75), who had practicedCOVID-19 prevention measure (AOR = 5.82, 95%CI: 3.87–8.75), and used face mask (AOR = 2.06, 95% CI: 1.28–3.31) than their counterpart. Empowering mothers and creating awareness on COVID-19 preventionis recommended to improve maternal health service utilization during the COVID-19 pandemic.

As air travelling now becomes cheaper and available to almost all people of any walk of life, travelling across international borders is fast becoming a lifestyle of many. Having travel health service as part of health care services is important to address the issues of travel related illnesses among travellers. However, lacks of published guidelines pertaining to travel health service rendering many countries to overlook its importance. The aim of this paper is to review published literatures and authoritative websites on the components needed to develop guideline to establish travel health services. A systematic literature search was done using pre-specified keywords for literatures published between years 2000 – 2016. Literatures written in English and fully accessible were all included. No exclusion criteria was set before the search. Online authoritative websites pertaining to travel health were also referred. A total of six literatures ranging from expert opinion, review paper and original study, together with three authoritative websites related to travel health were reviewed. Among the important components needed to be considered for developing the guideline for establishing travel health services are to prioritise pre-travel health service, to set up specialised travel health clinic, to produce travel health/medicine specialist, to emphasize on continuous education and training of the practitioners and to apply multiagency and multidisciplinary approach with adequate fund for research in travel health. As a conclusion, policy makers should prioritise and select the most important components in developing guideline for travel health service.

Corruption is the abuse of power for private gain that dangers various aspects in a country. Recently, corruption case that eroded the moral legitimacy of law enforcement officers had been revealed. The purpose of this article is to evaluate law enforcement against corruption by public officials in Indonesia as well as measures to overcome its problems effectively. The methodology used in this research is normative legal research which focused on secondary data approach. The injustice that includes weak sentencing regarding the bribery case of Pinangki Sirna Malasari had caught the public's attention for the lack of impactful sentencing. This injustice makes more potential corruptors who are ignorant of the law. Indonesia’s law enforcement agencies are considered to have high tolerance for corruption cases, and this principle of conditional justice has become common knowledge for the people. Corruption has the potential to destroy the nation’s morale, hinder economic development, and trigger anarchism. The government and society must synergize in instilling an anti-corruption mindset towards themselves and the younger generation. Surveillance towards government institutions must be strengthened with public participation. Intervention of president as the highest authority is needed when there’s injustice under his realm of authority. Formulation of a supporting legislation and establishment of anti-corruption institutions in every government or state agencies are needed. In order to create a government that is free of corruption, realization of anti-corruption law in Indonesia had to be done seriously. Korupsi adalah penyalahgunaan kekuasaan untuk kepentingan pribadi yang membahayakan berbagai aspek kehidupan. Belum lama ini, terkuak kasus korupsi yang mengikis legitimasi moral aparat penegak hukum. Karya tulis ini bertujuan untuk mengkaji bagaimana penegakan hukum terhadap tindak pidana korupsi oleh oknum pejabat publik di Indonesia, serta langkah-langkah pemberantasan korupsi secara efektif. Metode penelitian yang digunakan dalam penyusunan artikel ini adalah metode penelitian hukum normatif yang berfokus pengumpulan data sekunder. Ketidakadilan tuntutan hukum akan kasus penyuapan Pinangki Sirna Malasari menyita perhatian publik karena tuntutan pidana yang kurang memadai terlepas dari pelanggaran kode etik yang dilakukan sebagai aparat penegak hukum negara.. Jika ketidakadilan ini terus terjadi, akan muncul banyak koruptor potensial bebal hukum yang menjadi awal bagi kehancuran negara. Apabila implementasi penegakan hukum tidak maksimal, maka nilai dari hukum tersebut akan berkurang. Lembaga penegakan hukum di Indonesia dinilai memiliki toleransi yang tinggi terhadap kasus korupsi, dan prinsip keadilan bersyarat ini sudah menjadi pengetahuan umum bagi rakyat. Korupsi dapat menghancurkan moral bangsa, menghambat pembangunan ekonomi, serta memicu anarkisme. Pemerintah dan masyarakat harus bersinergi dalam menanamkan pola pikir anti korupsi terhadap diri sendiri dan para generasi muda. Transparansi dan pengawasan terhadap lembaga-lembaga pemerintahan harus diperkuat dengan adanya partisipasi masyarakat. Presiden sebagai pemegang kekuasaan tertinggi wajib turun tangan ketika terdapat ketidakadilan yang terjadi di bawah rumpunnya. Dibutuhkan perumusan legislasi yang mendukung dan pembuatan lembaga pemberantas korupsi di setiap badan penyelenggara negara. Demi mengusahakan suatu pemerintahan yang bersih dari korupsi, penegakan hukum atas tindak pidana korupsi di Indonesia harus direalisasikan dengan sungguh-sungguh.

Objective The aim of the present systematic review was to examine the enablers for effective health service delivery for Aboriginal Australians. Methods This systematic review was undertaken in accordance with the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) statement. Papers were included if they had data related to health services for Australian Aboriginal people and were published between 2000 and 2015. The 21 papers that met the inclusion criteria were assessed using the Effective Public Health Practice Project Quality Assessment Tool for Quantitative Studies. Seven papers were subsequently excluded due to weak methodological approaches. Results There were two findings in the present study: (1) that Aboriginal people fare worse than non-Aboriginal people when accessing usual healthcare services; and (2) there are five enablers for effective health care services for Australian Aboriginal people: cultural competence, participation rates, organisational, clinical governance and compliance, and availability of services. Conclusions Health services for Australian Aboriginal people must be tailored and implementation of the five enablers is likely to affect the effectiveness of health services for Aboriginal people. The findings of the present study have significant implications in directing the future design, funding, delivery and evaluation of health care services for Aboriginal Australians. What is known about the topic? There is significant evidence about poor health outcomes and the 10-year gap in life expectancy between Aboriginal and non-Aboriginal people, and limited evidence about improving health service efficacy. What does this paper add? This systematic review found that with usual health care delivery, Aboriginal people experience worse health outcomes. This paper identifies five strategies in the literature that improve the effectiveness of health care services intended for Aboriginal people. What are the implications for practitioners? Aboriginal people fare worse in both experience and outcomes when they access usual care services. Health services intended for Aboriginal people should be tailored using the five enablers to provide timely, culturally safe and high-quality care.
