Background: Although the teen birth rate declined to a low record in 2017 of 18.8 births per 1000 females ages 15-19, compared to other developed countries, it is still high [3,4]. Teen pregnancy can cause emotional, psychological and educational challenges, as well as affect the life and opportunities of young mothers and their children. Access to quality social services, plays an important role in supporting the health and well-being of adolescents and promoting health equity. Some teens face barriers in accessing these services. Geographically, Washington DC has eight wards, with significant disparities in socioeconomic conditions and population health. Aim: The objective of this study is to explore the distribution of community programs for Expectant and Parenting Teens in Washington DC by wards. Materials and Methods: We conducted computerized searches of PubMed, PsycINFO, Sociological Abstracts, CINAHL, and Cochrane Reviews to identify programs in Washington DC that provide services to adolescent parents, published in English from 1990 to December 2022. Search terms include: Washington DC, Ward, Teen parents, Social services, Community program. We identified and compiled locations of social service providers by wards across Washington DC, using findhelp directory (findhelp.org). Results: We identified 34 programs located in the different wards in Washington, District of Columbia. We identified 10 major interventions. These can be categorized into 10 domains of need involving (a) pregnancy and parenting support and services, (b) adoption resources, (c) housing resources for teen parents in foster care, (d) housing resources for teen parents not in foster care, (e) health care resources for young families, (f) education resources, (g) public benefits, (h) childcare resources, (i) early learning resources and (j) resources for fathers. There is a disparity in Program providers and interventions/services by wards in Washington DC.

Introduction: The family is the first social nucleus. There are different types of families constituted by beliefs, customs, values, and behaviors. The family APGAR is an instrument for evaluating family functionality. The role of the family during childhood is transcendental for cognitive, mental, and social progress since at this stage it allows offering protection, attention, and teaching to strengthen their progress. Aim: Analyze the degree of satisfaction in relation to the level of Family Functioning, through the application of the APGAR Test. Methodology: A study with a quantitative, non-experimental, correlational, and cross-sectional approach was carried out, where we worked with a population of adults and older adults that included 140 families, residing in urban and rural areas of the province of Cañar - Ecuador, selected through non-probability sampling. The APGAR scale was used to evaluate the perception of family functioning and the relationship between its members, the components are evaluated through three closed questions with a Likert-type rating score and the results describe a functional family, with mild dysfunction and severe dysfunction. Statistical analyzes were performed using SPSS.21. Results:140 families participated, with key informants, adults from 18 to 85 years (m42.7), an average of 4.11 family members, and 69.3% are families residing in rural areas. Regarding family functionality, 80.7% are in the highly functional range; In relation to the question. Do you feel that your family loves you?, 82.1% present with the item Almost always, as well as the highest mean score of 1.76. In the questions posed, it is evident that there is a statistically significant correlation p-value of 0.000, considering a p-value of < 0.05. Conclusion: Each family is formed by different social nuclei since it has its own identity, interrelationships, and intergenerational. The study shows a close correlation between the degree of satisfaction almost always and high functionality among families.

Objectives: The primary objective of this study was to determine the provider's awareness of the postpartum hemorrhage risk assessment tool at the time of admission. In addition, in keeping with the organization’s continual performance improvement philosophy, education on postpartum hemorrhage risk was provided to survey respondents who self-reported that they were unaware or requested additional resources. Methods: This cross-sectional study utilized an anonymous survey methodology. We distributed a postpartum hemorrhage awareness risk assessment questionnaire and collected participant responses without personal identifiers over a 3 month time period, January 2023 – March 2023. Analysis was completed using Fischer’s exact test. Alpha level was set to 0.05. Results: 39 participants completed the questionnaire attending physicians: n=10 (25.6%), nursing staff: n=15 (38.5%), and resident physicians: n=14 (35.9%). 7 of the 10 attending physicians (70%) and 9 of the 15 nursing staff (60%) have worked over 10 years in their profession, while 11 of the 14 resident physicians (78.6%) have worked in their profession for 1-5 years (p=<0.0001). 5 of the 10 attending physicians (50%) and 7 of 15 nursing staff (46.7%) were 36-50 years old, while 13 of 14 resident physicians (93%) were 25- 36 years old (p=<0.0001). Majority of the participants were White; 5 attending physicians (50%), 11 nursing staff (73.3%), and 9 resident physicians (64.3%). Nursing staff had the most awareness of the postpartum hemorrhage awareness risk assessment tool at the time of admission (100%) in comparison with attending physicians (50%) and resident physicians (64.3%), (p=0.005). Nursing staff had the most knowledge of where to access the assessment (93.3%) in comparison to attending physicians (10%) and resident physicians (0%), (p=<0.0001). Conclusions: Our study revealed a statistically significant difference in awareness of the postpartum hemorrhage risk assessment tool at the time of admission amongst the 3 groups of providers; attending physicians, nursing staff, and resident physicians. The nursing staff had the most awareness in comparison with other providers. The data also highlighted the inconsistencies with accessing the risk assessment and with communication of information obtained through the assessment among providers. A quality improvement project should involve notifying providers of patients that are stratified to high risk, developing a simpler method for all providers to readily access the risk assessment tool, and increasing preparedness by creating an algorithm or bundle.

Background: Ensuring good health, growth and development of children requires adequate nutrition during infancy and early childhood. Therefore, optimal feeding during the first few years of life provides opportunity for prevention of growth faltering and under-nutrition. Hence, improvement of infant feeding practices for children less than five years should be a high priority globally. Objectives: The objective of this study is to assess the feeding practices of mothers and the nutritional status of infants and young children in some selected Primary Health Care (PHCs) in Paikoro LGA of Niger state, Nigeria Methods: This descriptive cross-sectional study was carried out in some selected Primary Health Centres (PHCs) in Paikoro area of Niger state and a total of 200 mother/child pair were selected using simple random sampling method. Data was collected from mothers using a pre- tested structured questionnaire. The data was analyzed using Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS) (Version 20.0). Tests were statistically significant at p ≤ 0.05. Results: Majority (of the respondents feed colostrums to their babies. The prevalence of initiation of breastfeeding (78.5%), colostrum consumption (97.5%) and timely introduction of complementary feeding (74.5%) practices were high. The results further revealed 34.0% of the respondents breastfeed on demand while 29.5% were using feeding bottles. Conclusion: The study shows that a very high percentage of the mothers feed colostrums to their children but none breastfed their children to 24 months of age.

Over the past twenty years, North America has been challenged with a public health crisis related to the morbidity and mortality of opioid misuse. As a result, there is urgent need to further address the opioid crisis. Evidence in the literature on substance abuse has suggested that qualitative studies may supplement epidemiological research to improve understanding of the complexities of opioid misuse [1,2].

Surgical site infection continues to be the most common hospital-acquired infection among operated patients, associated with expenses, mortality, and morbidity. Operating room nurses play a big role in preventing and controlling theatre infection by applying sterile technique principles. For that reason, the Operating Room nurses, to accomplish their tasks, must have the knowledge and good attitude to practice the sterile technique. However, various studies revealed that OR nurses have insufficient knowledge, attitude and practice of sterile technique. This study aimed identify the effect of educational programs towards enhancing operating room nurses' knowledge, attitude and practice of sterile technique in two KPJ Hospitals. The research design chosen in this study was Quasi- experimental, where an educational program was conducted as an intervention on a single group pre and posttest posttest. A total of 48 Registered Nurses working in the Operating Room of the two selected Hospitals in Selangor were recruited to use purposive samples. The sample from the Registered Nurses population was selected using the Convenience sampling method. The data were analyzed using the IBM Social Packages for the Social Sciences (SPSS) version 26. The finding of this study revealed that 1 (2.3%) of respondents had low knowledge while 17 (39.5%) had a medium level of knowledge, and 25 (58.1%) had a high level of knowledge for pre-intervention. Post-intervention respondents had medium knowledge, 8 (18.6%) and 35 (81.4%) for high knowledge. There is still a need for nurses to be better educated on the principles of sterile techniques to ensure the operated patient's safety and reduce the rate of postoperative wound infection among the operated patient.
手术部位感染仍然是手术患者中最常见的医院获得性感染，与费用、死亡率和发病率相关。手术室护士运用无菌技术原则，在预防和控制手术室感染中发挥着重要作用。因此，手术室护士要做好本职工作，必须具备良好的无菌知识和态度。然而，各种研究表明，手术室护士对无菌技术的知识、态度和实践不足。本研究旨在探讨两所KPJ医院手术室护士对无菌技术的知识、态度和实践的教育效果。本研究选择的研究设计为准实验，即在单组测试前和测试后进行教育计划作为干预。共有48名在雪兰莪州选定的两家医院的手术室工作的注册护士被招募来使用有目的的样本。样本采用便利抽样法从注册护士人群中选取。使用IBM Social Packages for The Social Sciences (SPSS) version 26对数据进行分析。调查结果显示，1人(2.3%)对干预前知识的知晓程度较低，17人(39.5%)对干预前知识的知晓程度中等，25人(58.1%)对干预前知识的知晓程度较高。干预后被调查者中知者8人(18.6%)，高知者35人(81.4%)。仍然需要对护士进行更好的无菌技术原则教育，以确保手术患者的安全，降低手术患者的术后伤口感染率。

Operating room nurses play a big role in preventing and controlling theatre infection by applying sterile technique principles. For that reason, the Operating Room nurses, to accomplish their tasks, must have the knowledge and good attitude to practice the sterile technique. However, various studies revealed that OR nurses have insufficient knowledge, attitude and practice of sterile technique. This study aimed identify the effect of educational programs towards enhancing operating room nurses' knowledge, attitude and practice of sterile technique in two KPJ Hospitals. The research design chosen in this study was Quasi- experimental, where an educational program was conducted as an intervention on a single group pre and posttest posttest. A total of 48 Registered Nurses working in the Operating Room of the two selected Hospitals in Selangor were recruited to use purposive samples. The sample from the Registered Nurses population was selected using the Convenience sampling method. The data were analyzed using the IBM Social Packages for the Social Sciences (SPSS) version 26. The finding of this study revealed that 1 (2.3%) of respondents had low knowledge while 17 (39.5%) had a medium level of knowledge, and 25 (58.1%) had a high level of knowledge for pre-intervention. Post-intervention respondents had medium knowledge, 8 (18.6%) and 35 (81.4%) for high knowledge. There is still a need for nurses to be better educated on the principles of sterile techniques to ensure the operated patient's safety and reduce the rate of postoperative wound infection among the operated patient.","PeriodicalId":158343,"journal":{"name":"Nursing & Primary Care","volume":"58 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-12-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"134614348","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
Low motivation among workers across various institutions is one of the main problems affecting performance of public health volunteers. This study was aimed at identifying key factors attributed to motivation among Public Health Volunteers (PHVs) in Bukasakya and Namabasa sub counties in Mbale District in Uganda. The level of motivation was assessed in relation to each attribute used to measure satisfaction. The study considered various attributes to motivation and performance of health volunteers. A descriptive survey design was used, a questionnaire was administered among 139 respondents most of which were the PHVs. A questionnaire with Likert scale was developed and administered to the respondents. The attributes of motivation were then categorized into personal and organizational attributes. For the qualitative component, participants with varied responses in quantitative data were selected and interviewed. This study underscores the significance of different attributes of motivation. The results revealed that 99% of respondents had attended school, 80.58% were very happy to be PHVs, 84 % reported improved quality of life, 69% exhibited confidence, although 87% were not sure to volunteer again for the next coming 7-10 when they were asked. Over 70% were satisfied with incentives provided and partly attributed their motivation to these incentives. Generally, the respondents were very happy with the working conditions in the organization, in Health the facilities and in the community. In an arrangement where health facilities involve health volunteers in the activities, there is need to consider their motivation, while framing administrative strategies and policy guidelines.

On February 10, 2022, the US Centers For Disease Control and Prevention (National Center for Injury Prevention and Control) circulated a draft revised and expanded “2022 CDC Clinical Practice Guideline for Prescribing Opioids”. This proposal incorporates major expansions of scope and revisions of recommendations in the earlier 2016 CDC Guideline on prescription of opioids to adults with chronic non-cancer pain. Mainstream press articles have described the 2022 Guideline as a major improvement over the 2016 predecessor document in that it emphasizes the need for clinicians to exercise their own judgment on behalf of patients and to tailor treatment to individuals. However, deeper reading of the proposed 2022 Guideline calls the impressions of press reporters into serious question. In the opinion of the author and many others, the 2016 CDC Guideline has already wrecked the practice of pain medicine in the US, and proposed 2022 “revisions” may continue the destruction. The only ethically sound courses of action now open to the CDC are either to repudiate and withdraw both 2016 and draft 2022 guidelines without replacement, or to burn them to the ground and start over with condensation and correction of gross errors and policy mis-directions under a new, unbiased and clinically qualified writers group.
