Objectives: To assess the knowledge and acceptance of health professionals in the southern region of Morocco in relation to the anti-COVID-19 vaccines. Methods: This cross-sectional observational study will make it possible to assess the state of knowledge and acceptance of the vaccine against COVID-19 among health personnel in the prefecture of Agadir Idaoutanane, and to determine the factors influencing them, thanks to a self-administered questionnaire. Vaccine acceptance was determined by individuals who opted for vaccination willingly. Results: A total of 390 health professionals participated in this study. According to the results, there is a predominance of the female sex with a percentage of 63.2% and a sex ratio equal to 0.57. In addition, more than half of the health personnel participating in this study were between the ages of 20 and 30. 365 health professionals (93.3%) were vaccinated against COVID-19 of which 53.1% chose to be vaccinated of their own free will. Multivariate analysis revealed that age, and the question of the development of immunity to COVID-19 are significantly associated with vaccine acceptance. Conclusions: These observations are worrying insofar as health personnel have frequent and prolonged contact with patients. Hence the importance of improving their state of knowledge and positively impacting their acceptance of anti-COVID-19 vaccines in order to influence the attitude of their patients and the rest of the population.

Background: Perceptions of COVID-19 and vaccination depend on personal beliefs, experiences, and trust in health authorities’ information. Cultural and social factors also influence perceptions. Effective government messaging can minimize barriers to vaccination. Methodology: This cross-sectional research examines socio-demographic parameters related to risk factors, conducted using questionnaires at the vaccination center of Hippokrateio General Hospital of Athens, Greece (n=167), in the last quarter of 2022. Participants were asked to answer questions regarding the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, a measurement tool for assessing good health status developed by the World Health Organization. The data were analyzed using IBM SPSS v26. Results: The study found that women perceive vaccines to cause more harm than men, with younger individuals viewing the infection as harmless. Educational level also influences vaccine side effects and long-term harm. Perceptions of COVID-19 differ based on vaccination status. Conclusions: This research confirms the link between socio-demographic variables and pandemic severity perception, emphasizing the importance of correlated with medical public health services management in enhancing communication strategies and creating effective vaccination campaigns.

Background: Inclusion of point-of-care ultrasound (POCUS) within medical education is increasing. A lack of clinical preceptors ready to teach POCUS to physician assistant (PA) students has been discovered. Understanding the barriers to student use of POCUS in clinical education will inform curricular planning. Methods: Qualitative survey research was completed on 212 previously identified PA student preceptors. Descriptive statistics outlining frequencies of responses were completed. Results: The most frequently identified barriers included lack of preceptor experience with POCUS (63.7%), lack of access to a device (47.6%), and lack of familiarity with POCUS (45.2%). Time and lack of experience with POCUS were more commonly identified by inpatient providers. Lack of clinical indications and device access were more frequent in outpatient preceptors. Discussion: As programs incorporate POCUS, creating intentional opportunities for POCUS education on clinical rotations is needed. The differences in barriers based on practice type allow targeted intervention based on specific rotations.

The study explored the roles of attitude towards science and mathematics, and knowledge of COVID-19 pandemic in prediction of secondary school students’ COVID-19 vaccine acceptance in Nsukka Education Zone, Enugu State Nigeria. The study employed a correlation survey research design. The population of the study comprised 3,789 secondary school three (SS3) students in the zone. The sample size of the study was 350 students selected through multi-stage sampling procedure. Three hypotheses, tested at 0.05 level of significance guided the study. Three adapted instruments, (1) student’ attitude towards science and mathematics questionnaire (ATSMQ), (2) students’ knowledge of COVID-19 pandemic questionnaire (KCPQ), and (3) students’ COVID-19 vaccine acceptance questionnaires (CVAQ), were used for collection of data. The estimate of internal consistency of the instruments were determined using Cronbach’s alpha. The obtained reliability coefficients of ATSMQ, KCPQ, and CVAQ were 0.78, 0.89, and 0.91, respectively. Simple and multiple regression analysis were performed to test the hypotheses at 0.05 level of significance using R, R2, and regression analysis of variance (ANOVA). The findings revealed, among others, that attitude towards science and mathematics and knowledge of COVID-19 pandemic were significant predictors of COVID-19 vaccine acceptance. It is recommended, among others, that teachers, government at all levels, non-governmental organizations, and members of the task force on COVID-19 prevention, should carry out aggressive campaign to increase knowledge of COVID-19 pandemic among the students.

Objective structured practical examinations (OSPEs) have been implemented as a standard practice in most medical and health science schools worldwide to assess competencies in laboratory skills. A practical examination would improve students’ understanding of the experiment they conduct and help build confidence and competency for future application. With the expanding roles of a pharmacist, it is important to strengthen students’ skill set during pharmacy education. This article reports the procedures and findings after conducting OSPE for the subject of pharmaceutical microbiology and parasitology in the Faculty of Pharmacy at Universiti Teknologi MARA for three years (2017-2019). There is a significant difference in OSPE performance between the years 2017, 2018, and 2019. The addition of OSPE, while does not significantly change the median marks, is able to better define the students’ performance and grade. The conclusion is that the students were able to adapt to the added examination and benefit from the experience.

The state of the availability of digital resources and institutional compliance to COVID-19 mitigation measures was evaluated by the researchers in this study. Informed by the need to answer two research questions, the study adopted the descriptive survey design. A sample of 409 participants was drawn from a population of 2,410 academic staff at the University of Calabar, leveraging the multistage sampling process. “Availability of digital resources and institutional compliance with COVID-19 mitigation measures questionnaire” was used for data collection. After administration, we recovered 397 copies of the instrument successfully. We used descriptive statistics to answer the research questions. Our findings indicated a great extent in the availability of digital resources such as computers (91.18%), human capacity (63.48%), network printers (67.76%), projectors (59.19%), websites (92.95%), and wireless networks (86.65%). There was a low extent in the availability of digital resources such as local area network (5.79%), cloud storage systems (2.27%), digital libraries (7.56%), firewalls (1.26%), Internet service (48.36%), routers (23.69%), and Zoom videoconferencing platform (23.93%). The unavailability of digital resources such as host/servers (0%) and virtual private networks (0%) in the higher education institution (HEI). Further evidence shows a low extent of institutional compliance with COVID-19 mitigation measures generally and specifically for all indicators. In conclusion, there is a high degree of unreadiness to promote e-learning when flexible learning systems should operate in the institution. Among others, we recommend that the management of the HEI should apportion proceeds from internally generated funds to procure digital resources to increase the institution's capacity to respond to COVID-19 or similar cases in the future.
