Abstract

Cyberbullying is a serious problem that can have a significant negative impact on victims, including depression, anxiety, low self-esteem, and even suicidal thoughts. The absence of cybercrime laws can make it difficult to prosecute cyberbullying cases, which can contribute to the problem. The purpose of this study was to understand the influence of the absence of a cybercrime law on cyberbullying in higher institutions of learning. The study focused on the International University of Management (IUM) in Namibia. The study used mixed methods research design. Data was collected through an online questionnaire comprising both quantitative and qualitative questions. The link to the questionnaire was shared with students, as well as academic and administrative staff at IUM. The study found that the absence of a cybercrime law contributes to the problem of cyberbullying in IUM. The study also found that that there are a number of factors that contribute to cyberbullying in IUM, such as the use of social media, the anonymity that the internet provides, and the lack of awareness of cyberbullying among students and staff. The findings of the study have implications for policymakers, educators, and parents. Policymakers need to enact cybercrime laws to help prevent and prosecute cyberbullying cases. Educators need to educate students about cyberbullying and how to deal with it. Parents need to talk to their children about cyberbullying and monitor their online activity.

Abstract

The study was aimed at investigating the challenges of implementing integrated Electronic Health Records (EHR) in the Namibian Public Health Care Sector. The study employed qualitative research approach. An exploratory design was used in this study to engage IT Personnel. The study used the purposive sampling technique to select twenty respondents, particularly focusing on the IT department. The study discovered that the Ministry of Health and Social Services (MoHSS) have isolated Electronic Health Record Systems (EHRS) such as the DHIS2 and Ptracker. The MoHSS had attempted to implement integrated EHRS, however it experienced various challenges. This study discovered challenges such as lack of network infrastructure, computer literate personnel, inadequate IT personnel, lack of policies and project documentation to implement the health records. Another challenge that hindered the addressing of issues such as supply of all up-to-date computer devices and software; having proper filing system and improving the slow connection due to poor network infrastructures is budget constraints. The study further discovered a lack of interoperability and standardization, the absence of unique identifiers for patients and the lack of data warehousing to be the main barriers for the full implementation of the integrated electronic health records system. Some of the recommendations of the study are that the MoHSS develops national policies and implementation frameworks to guide the implementation of EHRS, secure adequate funds specifically for the implementation of EHRS, develops and implements training framework for IT staff, administrative and health professional, implements unique patient identifier system and utilize open standards to enable system interoperability for implementation of the e-Health Record System. The study also recommends that MoHSS consider partnering with private service providers to enter into network infrastructure sharing agreements.
