Abstract

Functional Health Literacy (FHL) involves skills in writing, reading, oral expression, comprehension, and numerical calculations to successfully function and complete health-related tasks. This study aimed to develop and validate an instrument for measuring FHL in the Philippines using a mixed-method design. FHL-5TEST is an instrument consisting of five questions developed in consultation with local experts, translated to major Philippine languages, and underwent translation analysis, pretesting, cultural adaptation, and validation.. A cross-sectional study was conducted in a random sample of 15-70-year-old Filipino residents to validate the instrument. The FHL-5TEST demonstrated high internal consistency, with a Cronbach’s alpha of 0.7690. Across different cut-off values, the sensitivity and specificity of the instrument in detecting limited FHL ranged from 60.9% to 86.0% and from 61.6% to 97.2%, respectively. The study demonstrated that the FHL-5TEST is a valid and reliable instrument to measure functional health literacy in the Philippines.

Abstract

To handle the pandemic of COVID-19, global health authorities are trying to identify factors that influence people’s behavioral patterns to engage in preventive measures. The present study examines the predictors of precautionary behaviors by adopting a socio-emotional-cognitive model of risk perception and provides a descriptive picture of people’s risk perception and precautionary behaviors during COVID19 lockdown in India. This was a cross-sectional online survey study, where data was collected from 203 participants in the age group of 18-67 years from different covid active zones of India using convenient sampling. The descriptive findings indicated that Indians displayed high participation in various precautionary behaviors (e.g., social distancing, washing hands, others) high level of awareness about the disease’s spread and symptoms, and high-risk perception (e.g., high perceived psychological vulnerability, disease severity, & personal impact). The participants also displayed a moderate to high level of worry towards the pandemic, with a moderate level of trust in the government’s ability to fight the pandemic. On the other hand, a significant positive relationship was observed between risk severity, perceived personal risk impact (cognitive factor) and level of anxiety towards pandemic (affective factor) and between the level of awareness (cognitive factor) and engagement in precautionary behaviors. However, only cognitive factors of risk perception (e.g., perceived psychological invulnerability & awareness about the diseases) were found out to be significant predictors for engagement in precautionary behaviors. Therefore, the present study emphasizes how health agencies should focus on creating risk messages that increase people’s estimation of personal risk and awareness towards the virus in order to raise community’s engagement in precautionary behaviors. Keywords: Risk Perception, Precautionary Behaviors, COVID19

Abstract

The majority of activity among nurses in primary health care in Indonesia is still high for non-productive activities. Non-productive activities are closely related to job dissatisfaction then has an impact on work performance. This study aims to analyze the job satisfaction of nurses in primary health care facilities in Indonesia. This study used a quantitative descriptive design. The research used a cross-sectional approach. The subjects of this study are nurses (N= 226 people) who served in 15 inpatients' primary health care. The sampling technique uses a proportionate simple random sampling technique. Nurse job satisfaction instruments assess context factors and content factors. Nurse job satisfaction on context factor is in a good category by a big responsibility for nurse's work (55.2%), progress in work developed well (63.4%), nurses had the opportunity to achieve achievement (54.5%), nurses get great recognition for performance (58.6%) and feel their work is valuable (65.5%). Job satisfaction was supported by policy indicators, supervision, salary, interpersonal relationships, and good working conditions. On the other hand, nurses' job satisfaction on the content factor still needs to be optimized. This is supported by the job satisfaction of nurses on the indicators of responsibility, achievement, performance recognition that has not reached 60%. Therefore, job satisfaction among nurses in inpatient primary health care was quite good enough but still requires optimization on the content factor.

Abstract

Rising worldwide adolescent smoking necessitates national and global research to establish intervention methods. This research evaluated the efficacies of 5A’s and 3A’s interventions. Self-reported quit-smoking attempts were the outcome measure. Methods: Six villages were randomly selected and equally divided into three groups: 5A’s, 3A’s, and Control (no intervention). Five hundred nineteen current participant-smokers aged 13-17 were followed-up by phone (first and third months) and face-to-face interviews (sixth and ninth months). Most 3A’s participants (n = 12, 7.1%) quitted smoking in the first month, followed by the 5A’s (n = 9, 5.3%) and the Control (n = 3, 1.9%).  In the third month, 5A’s participants topped the rank (n = 16, 10.7%), followed by the 3A’s (n = 14, 9.2%), and Control (n = 5, 3.4%). As per sixth-month follow-up, the 5A’s group maintained its position on top of the list (n = 27, 21.4%), followed by the 3A’s (n = 22, 17.1%) and the Control (n = 5, 4.0%). The majority of 5A’s participants quitted smoking after nine months (n=36, 33.0%), followed by the 3A’s (n = 27, 25.5%), while Control maintained its position (n = 5, 5.0%). 5A intervention prevented adolescent smokers from becoming chronic smokers.

Abstract

Objective: This descriptive study aimed to determine the diabetes prevention behaviors based on the health belief model among high-risk individuals.Methods: 220 randomly selected patients at risk of type II diabetes completed a 65-item questionnaire based on the constructs of the health belief model. Data analyzed by SPSS.Results: The mean score of knowledge among responders was 5.54+2.60, which indicated that 50.36% of the participants had gained the maximum score of knowledge. The results indicated that the constructs of the health belief model determined 19% of the variance in type II diabetes prevention behaviors.  Perceived barriers, perceived self-efficacy, and knowledge were the significant positive predictors of diabetes prevention behaviors. Based on the results, single respondents had higher knowledge levels, higher perceived severity, and lower perceived barriers compared to married ones. In addition, a significant relationship was observed between age, economic status, and education level and some constructs of the health belief model.Conclusion: The results indicated that the high-risk patients obtained moderate mean scores in type II diabetes prevention behaviors. These results could help improve educational programs with regard to beliefs, attitudes, and behaviors in order to promote type II diabetes prevention and self-care behaviors among at-risk populations, eventually enhancing their quality of life.

Abstract

The parent-adolescent relationship is an essential part of growing up and it is the key determinant of an adolescent’s growth. An adolescent is a stage of life which is unique as it is the phase for personality development. The nature of the relationship with their families during the adolescence stage determines their character.  The parental connection including the right kind of parenting style and inter-communication determine their growth. Previous studies have highlighted the relationship between parent-adolescents communication and the impact on adolescents’ psychological well-being.  However, the findings have not been conclusive.  In view of this, the current research aimed at assessing the level of parent-adolescent communication and the impact on adolescents’ self-esteem and the perceived stress inclusive of comparing differences between genders in Malaysia. The study was conducted using a quantitative research method through an online survey. The findings proved there is a significant relationship between parent-adolescent communication and the impact on self-esteem as well as stress levels among adolescents, where positive communication with parents, resulted in better self-esteem and lower levels of stress. Further, it was proven that female adolescents had lower self-esteem and higher stress compared to male adolescents. The study ends with a recommendation for further research.

Abstract

This study aimed to evaluate the extent to which health practitioners in Cross River State, Nigeria, use social media for patient care and to assess the barriers militating against its liberal use for patient care. The study adopted the cross-sectional survey design and used 550 respondents selected through the cluster, simple random and purposive sampling techniques, from selected secondary and tertiary health facilities. Furthermore, quantitative and qualitative methods involving the questionnaire and key informant interview respectively were used to elicit information from respondents. Quantitative data were analyzed using descriptive statistics while content analysis was used to handle qualitative data. The result of data analysis revealed that health practitioners in Cross River State, Nigeria, do social media use for patient care very minimally and this is attributed to a wide range of factors, including the absence of a clear-cut regulatory framework governing social media use in health care delivery, lack of institutionally provided resources for social media use etc. The study thus recommends that healthcare administrators must, as a matter of necessity, mainstream social media use into health care practice by flexible guidelines, regulations, and materials that would make social media use for patient care desirable by health practitioners in Nigeria.
