Sex education is an important topic that is relevant in everyday life activities. However, due to its rare and sensitive connotation, this topic remains to be taboo in the Philippines. With the country having high devotion to Christianity, conversations about sex, sexuality, and sex education are considered inappropriate and sinful. This paper narrates the overview and reflections on a webinar program of occupational therapy students in Pampanga about the relevance of sex education in the youth, school, the occupational therapy profession, and the community. Sex education was discussed in a way that is not limited to sexual intercourse but covered how individual views and expresses themselves through their sexuality. Challenges such as providing sexuality education among children and youth should be provided to decrease teenage pregnancy and sex-related diseases. Schools, families, healthcare institutions, and communities should also be open about sex education to reduce experiences of negative mental health outcomes due to religious prejudice and biases and help the young generation to have lifelong healthy decisions about their sexual and reproductive health.
性教育是一个与日常生活活动相关的重要话题。然而,由于其罕见和敏感的内涵,这个话题在菲律宾仍然是禁忌。由于这个国家对基督教的高度忠诚,关于性、性行为和性教育的对话被认为是不合适的和有罪的。本文叙述了邦板牙职业治疗专业学生的网络研讨会项目的概述和反思,该项目涉及青少年、学校、职业治疗专业和社区的性教育。性教育的讨论方式并不局限于性交,而是涵盖了个人如何通过性来看待和表达自己。应提出诸如向儿童和青年提供性教育等挑战,以减少少女怀孕和与性有关的疾病。学校、家庭、医疗机构和社区也应该对性教育持开放态度,以减少由于宗教偏见和偏见而导致的负面心理健康结果,并帮助年轻一代对他们的性健康和生殖健康做出终身健康的决定。

Background: In 2022, about 25% of U.S. adults reported engaging in no leisure-time physical activity, and among those who reported being physically active, only 24% engaged in enough physical activity to meet both aerobic and muscle-strengthening physical activity guidelines. Physical inactivity has been linked to a higher risk of all-cause mortality, numerous chronic diseases, and negative mental health outcomes such as anxiety and depression. Physical inactive behavior is influenced by individual and environmental influences and becomes more acute in college students. Objectives: In this study, we deploy a novel behavioral model called Perfection Quotient (PQ) and its components/ constructs Health Emotional Quotient (HEQ), Health X Quotient (HXQ), and Health Spiritual Quotient (HSQ) to explain the readiness to change for physical inactivity behavior in a sample of college students in Mississippi, USA. Methods: Cross-sectional study was undertaken at a public university in Mississippi. A random sample of 572 was drawn from 5,000 students from the university registrar’s list. A 37-item survey delivered via QualtricsTM online survey software was administered among students aged > 18 years. The survey included questions on the three constructs of PQ. The association between these three components and physical inactivity was assessed using binomial logistic regression. Results: Of the survey respondents 51.2% (n=293) reported intentions to change their physical inactivity behavior. The mean scores of the constructs of the PQ model were, HEQ = 29.81 units (SD = 5.74; observed and possible range: 0-40), HXQ = 23.67 units (SD = 4.67; observed range: 0-34; possible 0-36), HSQ = 17.78 units (SD = 4.93; observed and possible range: 0-24), PQ = 71.38 units (SD 12.18; observed range: 0-97; possible 0-100). HEQ with its components of self-awareness, mood management, and self-motivation had an odds ratio of 0.947 (95% CI: 0.905 to 0.992) and was marginally negatively associated with the likelihood of readiness to change physical inactivity behavior (p<0.02). HXQ with its components of cautiousness, independence, and competition had an odds ratio of 0.996 (95% CI: 0.944 to 1.051) and was not a significant predictor (p>0.05). HSQ with its components of self-love and love for others was marginally positively associated with the likelihood of readiness to change physical activity behavior (p<0.005) and had an odds ratio of 1.077 (95% CI: 1.022 to 1.135). Conclusion: These findings suggest that the three constructs of the PQ model need to evolve further, instrumentation augmented, and further longitudinal studies designed.
背景:在2022年,大约25%的美国成年人报告说没有参加休闲时间的体育活动,而在那些报告参加体育活动的人中,只有24%的人参加了足够的体育活动,以满足有氧和增强肌肉的体育活动指南。缺乏身体活动与全因死亡率、多种慢性疾病以及焦虑和抑郁等负面心理健康结果的风险较高有关。身体不活跃行为受到个体和环境因素的影响,在大学生中表现得更为突出。目的:本研究采用一种新的行为模型——完美商(PQ)及其组成/构造健康情商(HEQ)、健康X商(HXQ)和健康精神商(HSQ)来解释美国密西西比州大学生样本中缺乏运动行为的改变准备程度。方法:在密西西比州一所公立大学进行横断面研究。从该校注册名单上的5000名学生中随机抽取了572人。通过QualtricsTM在线调查软件,对18岁至18岁的学生进行了一项37项的调查。该调查包括三个PQ构念的问题。使用二项逻辑回归评估这三个组成部分与缺乏身体活动之间的关系。结果:在调查对象中,51.2% (n=293)表示有意改变他们缺乏运动的行为。PQ模型各构式的平均得分为:HEQ = 29.81单位(SD = 5.74;观察和可能范围:0-40),HXQ = 23.67单位(SD = 4.67;观测范围:0-34;HSQ = 17.78个单位(SD = 4.93;观察和可能范围:0-24),PQ = 71.38单位(SD 12.18;观测范围:0-97;0 - 100)。HEQ与自我意识、情绪管理和自我激励的比值比为0.947 (95% CI: 0.905 ~ 0.992),与准备改变缺乏运动行为的可能性呈轻微负相关(p0.05)。HSQ及其自爱和爱他人成分与准备改变体育活动行为的可能性呈微正相关(p<0.005),比值比为1.077 (95% CI: 1.022 ~ 1.135)。结论:这些研究结果表明,PQ模型的三个结构需要进一步发展,仪器需要增加,并设计进一步的纵向研究。

Background: In response to the surge of COVID-19 cases in the Philippines, Bayanihan E-Konsulta (BEK) was launched to provide free teleconsultation services. As healthcare started shifting online to respond to the public’s health needs, there was little understanding of the beneficiary experience during their remote interaction with the healthcare provider and its related services. With this, the study aimed to describe the presence experience and valued service processes among the beneficiaries of BEK. Methods: One hundred seventy-five posts and tweets from Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram were gathered using search terms relating to BEK and hashtags from April 2021 to May 2022. After the exclusion of irrelevant data, data that do not contain the following criteria: 1) Date of posting: April 5, 2021, to May 31, 2022; 2) Location: Philippines; and 3) written in Filipino or English language, direct and thematic content analyses were conducted to determine the beneficiaries’ experience and valued service process with BEK. Findings: This directed analysis uncovered that beneficiaries highlighted Operational Presence the most in their BEK-related posts, followed by Clinical Presence, Social Presence, and Therapeutic Presence. Subsequently, the thematic analysis surfaced the four most valued service process themes: chatbot-aided assessment, immediate volunteer response, comprehensive medical attention, and empathetic care and concern. Conclusion: This study emphasized the services to which the beneficiaries of Bayanihan E-Konsulta hold high regard, specifically the important role of quick response, efficient service, and client-centered approaches that created a comfortable and accessible setting for receiving and rendering care. The findings may help teleconsultation and other healthcare service providers understand how to enhance their service processes for better service delivery, patient health outcomes, and satisfaction.
背景:为应对菲律宾新冠肺炎病例激增,菲律宾启动了Bayanihan E-Konsulta (BEK),提供免费远程咨询服务。随着医疗保健开始转向在线,以响应公众的健康需求,在与医疗保健提供者及其相关服务的远程互动中,人们对受益人的体验知之甚少。在此基础上,本研究旨在描述BEK受益者的存在体验和有价值的服务过程。方法:从2021年4月至2022年5月,使用与BEK相关的搜索词和标签收集来自Facebook、Twitter和Instagram的175条帖子和推文。排除不相关数据后,不包含以下条件的数据:1)发布日期:2021年4月5日至2022年5月31日;2)地点:菲律宾;3)以菲律宾语或英语撰写,进行直接和专题内容分析,以确定受益人的经验和有价值的BEK服务过程。研究结果:这一直接分析发现,受益人在bek相关职位中最强调业务存在,其次是临床存在、社会存在和治疗存在。随后,主题分析显示了四个最有价值的服务流程主题:聊天机器人辅助评估、志愿者即时响应、全面医疗护理和移情关怀。结论:本研究强调了Bayanihan E-Konsulta的受益者高度重视的服务,特别是快速反应,高效服务和以客户为中心的方法的重要作用,这些方法为接受和提供护理创造了舒适和无障碍的环境。研究结果可能有助于远程咨询和其他医疗保健服务提供者了解如何改进他们的服务流程,以更好地提供服务,提高患者的健康结果和满意度。

Background: The COVID-19 pandemic affected health, the economy, and the food system across the United States (U.S.). This cross-sectional study examined the impacts of household income and job loss on food insecurity and food-related challenges among a sample of New Mexico residents during the COVID-19 pandemic. Methods: The study was conducted by fielding an online survey from May through June 2020. Study participants were recruited via convenience sampling to complete a survey that included questions assessing job and/or household income loss, food insecurity, food-related challenges and worries, and strategies for acquiring food during COVID-19. The analysis included a series of multivariable logistic regressions that estimated the impact of household income and job loss on food insecurity, food-related worry and challenges, and strategies used to acquire enough food and food sources. Nine hundred and fifty-four respondents were included in the analysis. Results: Compared to no job disruption, job loss increased the odds of experiencing food insecurity, two out of three food-related challenges, food-related worry, participation in SNAP, and use of most (six out of eight) strategies to obtain enough food. Compared to no job disruption, a reduction in household income significantly increased the odds of experiencing food insecurity, all three food-related challenges, food-related worry, utilization of group meal services, growing their own food, and use of most (six out of eight) strategies to obtain enough food. Conclusion: Future research should continue to examine the economic impacts of COVID-19 on food access. Lessons learned during the pandemic can inform policy responses to future public health emergencies.
背景:2019冠状病毒病大流行影响了美国各地的卫生、经济和粮食系统。本横断面研究调查了新墨西哥州居民样本中家庭收入和失业对2019冠状病毒病大流行期间粮食不安全和粮食相关挑战的影响。方法:该研究是通过2020年5月至6月的在线调查进行的。通过方便抽样招募研究参与者完成一项调查,其中包括评估工作和/或家庭收入损失、粮食不安全、与粮食相关的挑战和担忧以及在COVID-19期间获取食物的策略的问题。该分析包括一系列多变量logistic回归,以估计家庭收入和失业对粮食不安全的影响、与粮食有关的担忧和挑战,以及用于获取足够食物和食物来源的策略。954名受访者被纳入分析。结果:与没有工作中断相比,失业增加了经历粮食不安全、三分之二的粮食相关挑战、粮食相关担忧、参与SNAP以及使用大多数(八分之六)策略获得足够食物的可能性。与没有工作中断相比,家庭收入的减少大大增加了经历粮食不安全、所有三种与粮食有关的挑战、与粮食有关的担忧、利用集体用餐服务、自己种植粮食以及使用大多数(八种中的六种)策略来获得足够粮食的可能性。结论:未来的研究应继续研究COVID-19对粮食可及性的经济影响。大流行期间的经验教训可为今后突发公共卫生事件的政策应对提供参考。

Introduction: Using social networking sites (SNS) is an effective way to improve senior citizens' quality of life (QOL). However, SNS usage among senior citizens is relatively low compared to the younger generation. Accordingly, this study aims to identify the factors associated with SNS usage among senior citizens and its relationship with QOL. A conceptual framework combining the technology acceptance model and the subjective norm was proposed. Methods: Purposive sampling and cross-sectional survey methods were used to recruit 214 senior citizens. Results: The results supported the predictions: perceived ease of use, perceived usefulness, and subjective norms are positively associated with intention to use SNS, and intention to use SNS mediates the effects of these predictors on SNS usage. Besides, SNS usage is positively associated with QOL. Conclusion: Based on the findings, promoting SNS usage among senior citizens should include an SNS that is easier for them and a program to encourage their significant others to use SNS with senior citizens.
简介:使用社交网站(SNS)是提高老年人生活质量的有效途径。然而,与年轻一代相比,老年人的社交网络使用率相对较低。因此,本研究旨在探讨影响老年人社交网络使用的因素及其与生活质量的关系。提出了技术接受模型与主观规范相结合的概念框架。方法:采用目的抽样和横断面调查相结合的方法,对214名老年人进行调查。结果:结果支持预测:感知易用性、感知有用性和主观规范与使用SNS的意图正相关,并且使用SNS的意图中介了这些预测因素对SNS使用的影响。此外,SNS使用与生活质量呈正相关。结论:基于研究结果,促进老年人使用SNS应该包括一个对他们来说更容易的SNS和一个鼓励他们重要的人与老年人一起使用SNS的计划。

Socioeconomic disparities in adolescents' caries prevalence: Do oral health-related behaviors play intermediary roles? 青少年龋齿患病率的社会经济差异:口腔健康行为是否起到中介作用?
Q1 Social Sciences Pub Date : 2023-04-01 DOI: 10.4103/shb.shb_228_22

Introduction: Policymakers and academics have explored the behavioral approach in their attempts to explain and address the socioeconomic disparities in adolescents' oral health. However, evidence regarding this issue is scarce in the Korean adolescent population. This study aimed to examine whether socioeconomic status is associated with dental caries and whether oral health-related behaviors (OHRBs) explain or moderate the hypothesized association in Korean adolescents. Methods: A secondary analysis was conducted using the Korea National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey data from 2016 to 2019. Adolescents (n = 1062) aged 13–18 years were included in the analysis. The association between income and untreated decayed permanent teeth (DT) was investigated, focusing on the intermediary roles of OHRBs, using hierarchical negative binomial regression models. Results: Higher income (incidence rate ratio [IRR] 0.70, P < 0.001), regular breakfast intake (IRR 0.64, P < 0.001), higher fruit and vegetable consumption (IRR 0.93, P < 0.001), preventive dental check-ups (IRR 0.84, P < 0.001), and frequent toothbrushing (IRR 0.73, P < 0.001) were associated with lower DT. The income-DT association remained significant and its magnitude was only slightly attenuated, after adjusting for OHRBs (IRR 0.74, P < 0.001). Significant interaction effects were found between income and each OHRB on DT (all with P < 0.001), and interaction patterns differed by behavior type: The income-DT association was stronger in the presence of unfavorable dietary-and favorable dental care-behaviors. Conclusion: The study findings suggested that adolescent oral health equity interventions should prioritize the structural approach and give more thorough consideration to the interactions between socioeconomic and behavioral factors.
引言:政策制定者和学者们探索了行为方法,试图解释和解决青少年口腔健康中的社会经济差异。然而,在韩国青少年群体中,有关这一问题的证据很少。本研究旨在检验社会经济地位是否与龋齿有关,以及口腔健康相关行为(OHRBs)是否解释或调节了韩国青少年的假设关联。方法:使用2016年至2019年韩国国民健康和营养检查调查数据进行二次分析。13–18岁的青少年(n=1062)被纳入分析。使用分层负二项回归模型,研究了收入与未经治疗的龋齿(DT)之间的关系,重点是OHRB的中介作用。结果:较高的收入(发病率比率[IRR]0.70,P<0.001)、规律的早餐摄入(IRR 0.64,P<0.001。调整OHRB后,收入与DT的相关性仍然显著,其幅度仅略有减弱(IRR 0.74,P<0.001)。收入与每个OHRB之间对DT有显著的交互作用(均P<0.001),行为类型的交互作用模式不同:在存在不利的饮食和有利的牙科护理行为的情况下,收入-DT相关性更强。结论:研究结果表明,青少年口腔健康公平干预应优先考虑结构方法,并更彻底地考虑社会经济因素和行为因素之间的相互作用。

Introduction: The relationship between social factors and diabetes has mainly been studied in developed countries. Few studies investigated the relationship between social factors and diabetes in developing countries. This study aimed to identify the social factors affecting diabetes in the population covered by the Hoveyzeh Cohort Study (HCS) in Iran. Methods: This was a cross-sectional analysis conducted on the participants of the HCS (recruited from May 2016 to August 2018), in Iran. The desired information included age, sex, marital status, education, body mass index (BMI), physical activity, Townsend deprivation index, and wealth index and their relation to diabetes. A logistic regression model was used to explore the data. Results: In all, the data from 10,009 adults aged from 35 to 70 years were analyzed. Of these, 2226 were diabetic and 7783 were nondiabetic. The results of multiple logistics indicated significant associations between age, physical activity, BMI, and diabetes status. In addition, the analysis showed that people who reside in most affluent areas (odds ratio [OR] = 1.39, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 1.21–1.60) and individuals who reside in affluent areas (OR = 1.25, 95% CI: 1.08–1.46] were more likely to experience a higher risk of diabetes compared to those who live in most deprived areas. Conclusion: The findings showed that people with older age, lower physical activity, higher BMI, and affluent background were more likely to develop diabetes. Future studies are needed to confirm such an observation. Perhaps social class might play different roles in low-, middle-, and high-income countries. Health promotion interventions to reduce diabetes should incorporate socioeconomic situations in their plans in a deprived area like Hoveyzeh, Iran.
引言:社会因素与糖尿病的关系主要在发达国家进行研究。很少有研究调查发展中国家的社会因素与糖尿病之间的关系。本研究旨在确定影响伊朗Hoveyze队列研究(HCS)覆盖人群中糖尿病的社会因素。方法:这是对伊朗HCS参与者(2016年5月至2018年8月招募)进行的横断面分析。所需信息包括年龄、性别、婚姻状况、教育程度、体重指数(BMI)、体育活动、汤森剥夺指数和财富指数及其与糖尿病的关系。采用逻辑回归模型对数据进行分析。结果:对10009名年龄在35-70岁之间的成年人的数据进行了分析。其中2226人为糖尿病患者,7783人为非糖尿病患者。多重物流的结果表明,年龄、体力活动、BMI和糖尿病状况之间存在显著关联。此外分析表明,居住在最富裕地区的人(比值比[OR]=1.39,95%置信区间[CI]:1.21-1.60)和居住在富裕地区的个人(OR=1.25,95%CI:1.08-1.46]与生活在最贫困地区的人相比,更容易患糖尿病。结论:研究结果表明,年龄较大、体力活动较少、BMI较高、背景富裕的人更容易患上糖尿病。未来的研究需要证实这一观察结果。也许社会阶层可能会有所不同低收入、中等收入和高收入国家的角色。在伊朗霍韦兹等贫困地区,减少糖尿病的健康促进干预措施应将社会经济状况纳入其计划。

Introduction: Maternal mortality remains a public health issue in developing countries, with rural areas having higher rates as compared to the urban areas. Since effective utilization of maternal health-care services has the potential to reduce maternal mortality, this study measures the factors contributing to the existing rural − urban differences in the utilization of maternal healthcare services in Tanzania. Methods: We used Tanzania Demographic and Health Survey 2015/2016 data. Multi-stage stratified sampling was used to select the study participants and we estimated a Fairlie decomposition to understand the factors that contribute to inequality in maternal health-care services utilization between the rural and urban areas in Tanzania using Stata 17. Results: The study findings revealed a considerably wide rural-urban disparity in the utilization of maternal health-care services. As the findings indicated, household wealth status is the major factor for that disparity. Other factors are women's exposure to the media, women's working status, and distance from the homesteads to the health facilities. Conclusion: Therefore, any policy geared toward bridging the gap between the rural and urban areas in the utilization of maternal health-care services should focus on empowering women in terms of household economic status, media exposure, and employment.
导言:产妇死亡率仍然是发展中国家的一个公共卫生问题,农村地区的死亡率高于城市地区。由于有效利用孕产妇保健服务有可能降低孕产妇死亡率,本研究衡量了坦桑尼亚孕产妇保健服务利用率存在城乡差异的因素。方法:我们使用坦桑尼亚2015/2016年人口与健康调查数据。使用多阶段分层抽样来选择研究参与者,我们使用Stata 17估计了Fairlie分解,以了解坦桑尼亚农村和城市地区孕产妇保健服务利用不平等的因素。结果:研究结果显示,在孕产妇保健服务的利用方面,城乡差距相当大。调查结果表明,家庭财富状况是造成这种差距的主要因素。其他因素包括妇女接触媒体、妇女的工作状况以及从家庭到卫生设施的距离。结论:因此,任何旨在缩小农村和城市地区在利用孕产妇保健服务方面差距的政策都应侧重于在家庭经济地位、媒体曝光率和就业方面赋予妇女权力。

Introduction: The associations between affiliate stigma, caregiving burden, psychological distress, and quality of life (QoL) among family caregivers of people living with dementia (PwD) have been demonstrated in the literature. However, there is a dearth of literature regarding how these factors could form a psychological mechanism. The present study proposed a theoretical model to portray the relationships between these factors. Methods: Utilizing convenience sampling and cross-sectional study design, 275 family caregivers (145 females [52.7%]; mean age = 52.71 years) were recruited from a general hospital from October 2013 to September 2014. Each participant completed the following instruments in a quiet room in the general hospital without disturbance: Caregiver Burden Inventory, World Health Organization QoL Questionnaire-Brief, Affiliate Stigma Scale, and Beck Anxiety Inventory alongside the Taiwan Depression Questionnaire (assessing psychological distress). Structural equation modeling was used to examine the proposed theoretical model. Results: Affiliate stigma (standardized coefficient [β] = −0.338; P = 0.011) and psychological distress (β = −0.538; P < 0.001) were negatively associated with QoL, caregiving burden was positively associated with psychological distress (β = 0.818; P < 0.001), and affiliate stigma was positively associated with caregiving burden (β = 0.793; P < 0.001). Moreover, a significant mediated effect was observed between affiliate stigma and QoL via sequential mediators of caregiving burden and psychological distress (unstandardized coefficient = −1.17 and 95% confidence interval = −1.88, −0.46). Conclusion: Affiliate stigma, caregiving burden, and psychological distress are key factors contributing to low QoL among family caregivers of PwD. Health-care providers should design programs to help reduce affiliate stigma, caregiving burden, and psychological distress for family caregivers of PwD to facilitate their QoL.
文献已经证实了痴呆症患者(PwD)家庭照护者的关联耻辱、照护负担、心理困扰和生活质量(QoL)之间的关联。然而,关于这些因素如何形成心理机制的文献很少。本研究提出了一个理论模型来描述这些因素之间的关系。方法:采用方便抽样和横断面研究设计,对275名家庭照顾者进行调查,其中女性145人,占52.7%;平均年龄为52.71岁),于2013年10月至2014年9月在某综合医院招募。每位参与者在综合医院一个安静的房间里,在没有干扰的情况下完成以下工具:照顾者负担量表、世界卫生组织生活质量问卷简表、附属污名量表、贝克焦虑量表以及台湾抑郁问卷(评估心理困扰)。采用结构方程模型对提出的理论模型进行检验。结果:附属柱头(标准化系数[β] =−0.338;P = 0.011)和心理困扰(β =−0.538;P < 0.001)与生活质量呈负相关,照顾负担与心理困扰呈正相关(β = 0.818;P < 0.001),附属病耻感与照顾负担呈正相关(β = 0.793;P < 0.001)。此外,通过照料负担和心理困扰的顺序中介,观察到附属柱头与生活质量之间存在显著的中介效应(非标准化系数= - 1.17,95%置信区间= - 1.88,- 0.46)。结论:亲属耻辱感、照护负担和心理困扰是导致PwD家庭照护者生活质量下降的关键因素。卫生保健提供者应设计方案,帮助减少家庭护理人员的附属耻辱、护理负担和心理困扰,以促进他们的生活质量。

Introduction: COVID-19 has widely affected the health and care of people with chronic diseases, especially those with breast cancer. Because the health status of women with breast cancer in Iran has been unknown during the COVID-19 outbreak, we aimed to explore the challenges related to care of Iranian women with breast cancer during this pandemic. Methods: Using the qualitative content analysis design, 31 semi-structured face-to-face interviews were conducted from September 2020 to January 2021, with purposefully selected participants including 17 women with breast cancer, 7 health-care providers, and 7 family caregivers. Data were analyzed using the conventional content analysis. Results: Challenges related to health care for Iranian women with breast cancer can be classified into ten subcategories and three main categories. “Lack of specific functional and information resources,” “Limited equipment and active medical centers,” and “Intensification of the chemotherapy drug crisis” comprised the main category of “Inefficiency of care and treatment services.” “Lack of access to family caregiver,” “Ignoring the psychological burden imposed on patients,” and “Inadequate financial support from insurance organizations” were categorized as “Inadequate patient support.” “Avoiding receiving timely and appropriate treatment and care,” “Failure to accept self-responsibility for health,” “Misconceptions about COVID-19,” and “Ignoring breast cancer in the COVID-19 pandemic” comprised the subcategories of “ineffective self-care.” Conclusion: The present study provided a new understanding of the challenges regarding the health status of women with breast cancer during the COVID-19 pandemic. The findings could be used to develop effective interventions.
简介:新冠肺炎已广泛影响慢性病患者的健康和护理,尤其是癌症患者。由于在新冠肺炎疫情期间,伊朗患有癌症的妇女的健康状况尚不清楚,我们旨在探讨在这场疫情期间,与照顾患有癌症的伊朗妇女相关的挑战。方法:采用定性内容分析设计,于2020年9月至2021年1月进行了31次半结构化面对面访谈,有目的地选择参与者,包括17名癌症女性、7名医疗保健提供者和7名家庭护理人员。使用常规内容分析对数据进行分析。结果:伊朗癌症妇女在医疗保健方面面临的挑战可分为十个子类和三大类。“缺乏特定的功能和信息资源”、“设备和活跃的医疗中心有限”和“化疗药物危机加剧”构成了“护理和治疗服务效率低下”的主要类别。“缺乏家庭护理人员”、“忽视患者的心理负担”和“保险组织的经济支持不足”被归类为“患者支持不足”。“避免接受及时和适当的治疗和护理”、“未能接受对健康的自我责任”、“对新冠肺炎的误解”和“在新冠肺炎大流行中忽视癌症”构成了“无效自我护理”的子类别。“结论:本研究对新冠肺炎大流行期间癌症女性健康状况面临的挑战有了新的认识。研究结果可用于制定有效的干预措施。
