Abstract

The goal of health care systems is to keep patients healthy by monitoring, diagnosing, and treating their illnesses. These complex systems have many objectives, such as improving the quality of health care, making healthcare accessible to all people who are in need, extending people’s life span, preventing illnesses, etc. Promoting healthy lifestyles along with the prevention of illnesses to improve people’s health is also a fundamental principle of public health, and now it also become a fundamental principle of modern health care and integrating into health and social care strategies across the world. Epidemiology is the system of ultimate reasoning focused on creating and examining theories in systematic fields such as biology, physics, and behavioral sciences while rationalizing health-associated states and events so that justification for further suitable real-world public health measures can be provided. While working in the field, I observed that allied healthcare professionals lacked basic knowledge about epidemiology and related study designs. The input from this healthcare professional not only assists in building meaningful research studies but also demonstrates its powerful impact on patients’ healthcare through preventive measures and study results. The goal of this article is to provide basic knowledge of epidemiology and its various study designs in a simplistic language to allied healthcare professionals working in the field. In this article, I have described a general overview of epidemiology and various study designs, along with examples. I hope this information could be beneficial for a better understanding of epidemiology to healthcare professionals working in the field.

对流行病学和研究设计的理解
卫生保健系统的目标是通过监测、诊断和治疗病人的疾病来保持他们的健康。这些复杂的系统有许多目标,例如提高卫生保健质量,使所有有需要的人都能获得卫生保健,延长人们的寿命,预防疾病等。提倡健康的生活方式,预防疾病,提高人们的健康水平,也是公共卫生的一项基本原则,现在也成为现代卫生保健的一项基本原则,并纳入世界各地的卫生和社会保健战略。流行病学是一种终极推理系统,其重点是在生物学、物理学和行为科学等系统领域创造和检验理论,同时使与健康有关的状态和事件合理化,以便为进一步采取适当的现实世界公共卫生措施提供理由。在该领域工作时,我观察到专职医疗人员缺乏流行病学和相关研究设计的基本知识。该医疗保健专业人员的投入不仅有助于建立有意义的研究,而且还通过预防措施和研究结果展示了其对患者医疗保健的强大影响。本文的目的是用简单的语言向在该领域工作的联合医疗保健专业人员提供流行病学的基本知识及其各种研究设计。在这篇文章中,我描述了流行病学的总体概述和各种研究设计,以及示例。我希望这些信息可以帮助在这个领域工作的卫生保健专业人员更好地理解流行病学。
