Introduction: The impact of counseling on adolescent health and well-being has been well documented. The task-shifting in India’s Adolescent health program, from medical to non-medical cadres, necessitates understanding and capacity building of workers’ knowledge and skills. Objective: To assess distribution and determinants of self-rated knowledge, skill and confidence of counseling among adolescent counselors and to explore the demand for learning new skills. Methods: This was an observational study of cross-sectional design on adolescent counselors working under the National adolescent health program. Participants completed a self-administered electronic survey form, where they self-rated their knowledge, counseling skill and confidence on a six-point Likert scale. Mean ratings were dichotomized into high (≥4) or low (<4). Nominal regression analysis was performed to identify predictors of high rating. Counselors were also asked to identify areas where they require additional training. Results: The mean age of counselors was 36.22 years (SD 6.08) and mean service duration was 7.37 years (SD 4.51); 80.2% had completed refresher training. Post-graduation level of education has been achieved by 87.2% of counselors and 86% gave high rating for all domains. High rating was associated with the participant’s mother tongue, place of service and education level by univariate analysis but on nominal regression, it was associated with education level only. The need for additional training was expressed by 67.4% of participants, among which the most common was mental health. Conclusion: The rating of knowledge, counseling skill and confidence was high. Recruiting qualified counselors and clearly defined procedures appears to help in smooth task shifting.

Objectives: This study aimed at investigating seven aspects, which are believed to be critical for healthcare customer satisfaction level, as well as determining underlying factors affecting them within the emergency department. Design: A quantitative and cross-sectional study design, with deductive reasoning, was applied to undertake this study. Setting: The study site involves different tertiary care private and public hospitals in Karachi, Pakistan. Main Outcome Measures: General satisfaction perspective was measured involving satisfaction with technical quality, interpersonal manner, communication, financial aspects, time spent with the doctor, and accessibility and convenience. Results: Respondents were 61.6% male and 38.4% female with mean age 34.65±10.27 years. Most of the healthcare customers (54.6%) commuted to the healthcare facility by ambulance. 72.2% of respondents were from private and 27.8% were from public healthcare facilities while the majority (55.4%) visits to healthcare emergency services were due to injury or intoxication. In our study mean general satisfaction, technical quality, interpersonal manner, communication, financial aspects, time spent with the doctor, and accessibility and convenience were 3.11±0.34, 3.42±0.37, 3.42±0.43, 3.45±0.39, 3.31±0.42, 2.80±0.58 and 3.46±0.59 respectively. We found 52.6% of healthcare customers were satisfied with general aspects of service, 81.5% satisfied with technical quality, 80.50% satisfied with interpersonal manner, 82.5% satisfied with the communication, 66.3% satisfied with financial aspects, 20.4% satisfied with time spent with doctors and 75.7% satisfied with accessibility and convenience. Conclusion: General satisfaction with services was found to be at the lowest level, while the highest satisfaction level was with the “time spent with the doctor”. Healthcare institutes need to be more attentive to the service encounter time spent with doctors and on general issues for healthcare customers visiting the ED.

Objectives: 1) To introduce to expert colleagues the concept of health sector information quality advocates. 2) To obtain these colleagues opinions on worth of the advocate role and the competencies needed by an advocate. 3) To identify existing courses that matched the needs of the advocacy role. Design: 1) A workshop and pre-workshop survey of participants. 2) An online search of courses targeting a health workforce audience based on key words from the competencies identified by the workshop participants. Setting: The workshop was conducted at the 35th Patient Classification Systems International (PCSI) Conference in Iceland in September 2022. The pre-conference online survey used SurveyMonkey. The online course search used Google Chrome and Google Scholar and the English language. Main outcome measures: 1) Agreement of expert colleagues on the need for an Information quality advocate role. 2) Consensus by the expert colleagues on the important competencies. 3) The identified courses described in terms of mode of course delivery, course cost and duration, the delivering institute and key competencies covered. Each course was assessed and scored on a scale from 0 to 10 based on comprehensiveness and effectiveness. Results: The top five competencies for the information quality advocate in order of importance were data governance principles, quality management, stakeholder engagement, information and system governance, and information culture. The online search results identified many courses for specific technical roles, but most did not have the focus on data validity, reliability and information usefulness that matched the needs of the advocacy role. Conclusions: Focused training is needed to support appropriately skilled information quality advocates for the health sector. The presence of information quality advocates at the point of data collection facilitates the pathway to best practice in data collection.

The population of the elderly in the world will double from 2015 to 2050, reaching nearly 2.1 billion. The ageing population suffers from physical, mental health, and psychological well-being. There such customized policy that caters to helping the ageing population. The current examination studies ageing women, their health, and their quality of life () in India. The study tried to capture the two major and vast diversified areas. Respondents were randomly selected from four south and north Indian states. The present investigation covered 64 cities in these four states and collected 1,100 samples. The data analysis revealed that QoL has a significant difference with different demographic factors as well as health status, Literacy level, marital status, socioeconomic status, and health status of elderly women. Most of them suffer from diabetes, hypertension, and digestive system issues, so they need regular medical care and attention. Further data analysis unearthed that most ageing women belong to middle and lower socio-economic backgrounds. The government should focus more on their financial assistance and food security and arrange proper counselling therapy for their mental health to improve their QoL. The study contributes to the constructive and reflective handling of the health and well-being of the ageing female population. Policymakers must look into the health issues of the elderly population and make customised policies and actions that can assist the elderly population.

This COVID-19 has created enormous uncertainty into important parts of national and global society, including schools and institutions. This uncertainty had halted the normal functioning of students. For example, it is unclear how the institute's shutdown last spring affected students' academic performance. Similarly, the quick transition to virtual learning in the academic years will continue to have an impact on academic performance. Despite the uncertainties, there is a growing consensus that the lockdown and school and college closures caused by COVID-19 harmfully influenced students' academics, mental health, and physical health. This research study examines how students in schools and colleges feel post lockdown. This study also highlights how the digital technologies and its applications in improving the educational process.

The fields of telemedicine and e-health have grown in recent years due to advancements in technology and wearable devices. This research aimed to look back at the last 27 years of e-health and telemedicine studies to see how they've evolved. Article details for the selected papers were obtained from the Scopus database. Article details for the selected papers were retrieved using the Scopus database. Insights from the existing study suggest an upward trend in the number of publications and a peculiar pattern in the distribution of both authors and articles. Nine of the most influential researchers and the most often cited works were identified. VOS viewer software underwent keyword, author, and country co-occurrence analyses, as well as co-authorship analysis. According to a country-by-country research review, the United States, Italy, and Germany are the top three countries in article production in telemedicine and electronic health. Doarn (8 publications), Merrell R.C. (7 publications), Giansanti D. (7 publications), and Maccioni G (4 publications) were found to be the most prolific authors in the field of telemedicine and e-health. The study used bibliometric analysis to determine that the keywords "telemedicine," "human," and "e-health" were the most frequently used in the 69 publications chosen for the study. This study is useful for telemedicine and e-health since it provides a thorough understanding of the literature in these subjects, highlighting the most studied and understudied areas from which to launch future research endeavours.

The financial burden influences elderly individuals' health-related quality of life (HRQoL). Very little is understood concerning the association between financial strain and HRQoL in vulnerable groups. This study aimed to examine the relationships among financial load and HRQoL of Odisha who suffer from chronic illness, along with cancer. Techniques: Throughout this cross-sectional investigation, 72 Citizens of Odisha (aged 60-89) with one or maybe more chronic diseases took part in a randomized preliminary trial. We investigated financial burden components using factor analysis. A 27-point FACT-G (Functional Assessment of Cancer Therapy-General) was applied to measure HRQoL. The correlations among financial burden and HRQoL sub-dimension were investigated using multiple linear regression. The factor analysis showed three financial burden constructs: health costs issues, financial burden medication compliance, and monetary stress. The financial burden was related to lower HRQoL throughout various areas in this research of older adults of Odisha with chronic conditions.
经济负担影响老年人健康相关生活质量(HRQoL)。人们对弱势群体的财务压力与HRQoL之间的关系了解甚少。本研究旨在研究奥里萨邦患有慢性疾病和癌症的人的经济负担与HRQoL之间的关系。技术:在整个横断面调查中，72名患有一种或多种慢性疾病的奥里萨邦公民(60-89岁)参加了一项随机初步试验。我们使用因子分析来调查财务负担的组成部分。采用27分FACT-G (Cancer therapeutic Functional Assessment of Cancer therapy general)衡量HRQoL。采用多元线性回归分析财务负担与HRQoL子维度的相关性。因子分析显示三个财务负担结构:健康成本问题、财务负担药物依从性和货币压力。在这项研究中，经济负担与奥里萨邦患有慢性疾病的老年人的HRQoL降低有关。
