Introduction: This article describes the health and lifestyle profile of Hutterite farmers in Alberta who participated in a health literacy education program.

Methods: Longitudinal quantitative and qualitative data from the sustainable farm families (SFF) Alberta program (2014-2017) were used to describe the health and lifestyle profile of Hutterites. Data were analysed using descriptive statistics and conventional and summative content analysis.

Results: Four hundred and twenty-seven Hutterite men and women aged 18-75 years participated in a health literacy education program. About 50%-80% of Hutterites reported good health status, no hearing or sleeping problems, little to no body pain, fewer breathing and bladder difficulties and no constipation/diarrhoea. On average, the risk of diabetes was low (mean = 3.4) with total glucose (mean = 5.2) and cholesterol (mean = 3.5) within normal levels. Mental health outcomes such as anxiety (mean = 4.1), stress (mean = 6.7) and depression (mean = 3.1) were also within normal to mild ranges. Qualitative data showed that Hutterite farmers are committed to maintaining physical health and adopting strategies to improve mental health and lifestyle behaviours.

Conclusion: Hutterites have recognisable health challenges like other rural farming communities but are aware of their physical and mental health challenges and engage in healthy lifestyle behaviours. The Hutterite tenets of living present a perfect ecological setting for sustainable health promotion intervention.

简介:本文描述了阿尔伯塔省参加健康素养教育计划的huterite农民的健康和生活方式概况。方法:使用来自艾伯塔省可持续农场家庭(SFF)项目(2014-2017)的纵向定量和定性数据来描述Hutterites的健康和生活方式。数据分析采用描述性统计和常规和总结性内容分析。结果:427名年龄在18-75岁的胡特族男女参加了健康素养教育项目。大约50%-80%的hutterite人报告健康状况良好,没有听力或睡眠问题,很少或没有身体疼痛,呼吸和膀胱困难较少,没有便秘/腹泻。平均而言,糖尿病的风险较低(平均= 3.4),总葡萄糖(平均= 5.2)和胆固醇(平均= 3.5)在正常水平。心理健康结果,如焦虑(平均= 4.1)、压力(平均= 6.7)和抑郁(平均= 3.1)也在正常至轻度范围内。定性数据显示,赫特莱特农民致力于保持身体健康,并采取策略改善心理健康和生活方式行为。结论:与其他农村农业社区一样,Hutterites人面临着可识别的健康挑战,但他们意识到自己的身心健康挑战,并从事健康的生活方式行为。赫特人的生活原则为可持续的健康促进干预提供了一个完美的生态环境。

Objective: The objective of this study was to better understand how rurality impacts the knowledge, diagnosis and management of vulvodynia by primary care providers (PCPs) practising in the geographically disparate province of Newfoundland and Labrador, Canada.

Design: This was a qualitative case study using questionnaires and semi-structured interviews with PCPs, compared with semi-structured focus groups and interviews with vulvodynia patients conducted in a previous study phase.

Results: Ten family physicians and 6 nurse practitioners participated. Over half had baseline knowledge that vulvodynia has a relatively high prevalence, but most underestimated the likelihood they would see a patient with vulvodynia in their practice. Three barriers to discussing and managing vulvodynia emerged: (1) discomfort initiating sexual/vulvar health conversations; (2) concerns about protecting patient privacy and confidentiality; and (3) time constraints and building therapeutic relationships. These issues were largely corroborated by previous findings with vulvodynia patients. Rural-informed solutions might include: (1) supporting increased education in vulvodynia and sexual health more broadly, including funding to attend continuing professional education and developing more clinical tools; (2) following practice guidelines regarding standardised initiation of sexual health conversations; (3) incentivising retention of rural providers and extending appointment times by reconsidering fee-for-service structures; and (4) researching a tailored vulvodynia toolkit and the potential advantage of mobile health units.

Conclusion: Rurality exacerbates common concerns in the identification and management of vulvodynia. Acting on recommended solutions may address the impact of rurality on the provision of timely care for those experiencing vulvodynia and other sexual health concerns.

目的:本研究的目的是更好地了解农村如何影响在地理上不同的加拿大纽芬兰和拉布拉多省执业的初级保健提供者(pcp)对外阴痛的认识、诊断和管理。设计:这是一个定性的案例研究,使用问卷调查和对pcp的半结构化访谈,与之前的研究阶段进行的半结构化焦点小组和外阴痛患者访谈进行比较。结果:参与调查的家庭医生10名,执业护士6名。超过一半的人有外阴痛的患病率相对较高的基线知识,但大多数低估了他们在实践中看到外阴痛患者的可能性。讨论和处理外阴痛的三个障碍出现了:(1)不适发起性/外阴健康对话;(2)对保护患者隐私和保密的担忧;(3)时间限制和建立治疗关系。这些问题在很大程度上证实了以前的发现外阴痛患者。农村知情的解决方案可能包括:(1)支持更广泛地增加外阴痛和性健康方面的教育,包括为参加继续专业教育和开发更多临床工具提供资金;(2)遵循关于标准化发起性健康对话的实践指南;(3)通过重新考虑服务收费结构,鼓励保留农村医疗服务提供者并延长预约时间;(4)研究量身定制的外阴痛工具包和移动医疗单位的潜在优势。结论:农村加剧了外阴痛的识别和治疗的共同关注。根据建议的解决办法采取行动,可能会解决农村问题对外阴痛和其他性健康问题患者提供及时护理的影响。

Background: Like many rural and remote parts of Canada, the province of Newfoundland and Labrador (NL) struggles to maintain a skilled healthcare workforce. As many as 20% of people in the province are thought to be without a primary care physician. The purpose of this study was to determine the barriers recent Memorial University of Newfoundland medical alumni have faced in establishing medical practice in NL.

Methods: An online survey followed by question-standardised focus group sessions.

Results: Two hundred and ninety-one physicians who graduated from Memorial University of Newfoundland medical school between the years of 2003 and 2018 completed the survey. Nearly 80% of respondents recalled that NL was their preferred practice location at some point during training: 79.4% (n = 231) at the beginning of medical school and 77.7% (n = 226) at the beginning of residency training. However, at the time of the survey, only 160 (55.0%) respondents were working in NL. Respondents reported significant cultural and systemic barriers in trying to work in NL, including ineffective recruitment offices, lack of transparency in communication with health authorities, inequitable distribution of resources and workloads, lack of appropriate resources to support new positions, and return-of-service agreements that are not honoured or followed-up.

Conclusion: Our study outlines a number of ways in which recruitment and retention could be improved, ultimately improving provincial health care and helping to fulfil the mandate of the medical school.

背景:像加拿大的许多农村和偏远地区一样,纽芬兰和拉布拉多省(NL)努力维持一支熟练的医疗保健队伍。该省多达20%的人被认为没有初级保健医生。本研究的目的是确定最近纽芬兰纪念大学医学校友在NL建立医疗实践所面临的障碍。方法:进行在线调查,然后进行问题标准化焦点小组会议。结果:2003年至2018年期间毕业于纽芬兰纪念大学医学院的191名医生完成了调查。近80%的受访者回忆说,在培训期间的某个时间点,NL是他们首选的实习地点:79.4% (n = 231)在医学院开始时,77.7% (n = 226)在住院医师培训开始时。然而,在调查时,只有160名(55.0%)受访者在NL工作。答复者报告说,试图在国家医院工作时存在重大的文化和体制障碍,包括招聘办公室效率低下、与卫生当局沟通缺乏透明度、资源和工作量分配不公平、缺乏支持新职位的适当资源以及未履行或未采取后续行动的返回服务协议。结论:我们的研究概述了一些可以改善招聘和保留的方法,最终改善省级卫生保健,并帮助履行医学院的使命。

Introduction: Healthcare workers (HCWs) play a critical role in responding to the COVID-19 pandemic. Early in the pandemic, urban centres were hit hardest globally; rural areas gradually became more impacted. We compared COVID-19 infection and vaccine uptake in HCWs living in urban versus rural locations within, and between, two health regions in British Columbia (BC), Canada. We also analysed the impact of a vaccine mandate for HCWs.

Methods: We tracked laboratory-confirmed SARS-CoV-2 infections, positivity rates and vaccine uptake in all 29,021 HCWs in Interior Health (IH) and all 24,634 HCWs in Vancouver Coastal Health (VCH), by occupation, age and home location, comparing to the general population in that region. We then evaluated the impact of infection rates as well as the mandate on vaccination uptake.

Results: While we found an association between vaccine uptake by HCWs and HCW COVID-19 rates in the preceding 2-week period, the higher rates of COVID-19 infection in some occupational groups did not lead to increased vaccination in these groups. By 27 October 2021, the date that unvaccinated HCWs were prohibited from providing healthcare, only 1.6% in VCH compared with 6.5% in IH remained unvaccinated. Rural workers in both areas had significantly higher unvaccinated rates compared with urban dwellers. Over 1800 workers, comprising 6.7% of rural HCWs and 3.6% of urban HCWs, remained unvaccinated and set to be terminated from their employment. While the mandate prompted a significant increase in uptake of second doses, the impact on the unvaccinated was less clear.

Conclusions: As rural areas often suffer from under-staffing, loss of HCWs could have serious impacts on healthcare provision as well as on the livelihoods of unvaccinated HCWs. Greater efforts are needed to understand how to better address the drivers of rural-related vaccine hesitancy.

导语:卫生保健工作者在应对COVID-19大流行方面发挥着关键作用。在大流行早期,全球城市中心受到的打击最为严重;农村地区受到的影响越来越大。我们比较了居住在加拿大不列颠哥伦比亚省(BC)两个卫生区域内和之间城市和农村地区的卫生保健员的COVID-19感染和疫苗接种情况。我们还分析了疫苗授权对卫生保健工作者的影响。方法:我们按职业、年龄和家庭位置跟踪了所有29,021名内陆卫生院(IH)和温哥华沿海卫生院(VCH)所有24,634名HCWs的实验室确诊SARS-CoV-2感染、阳性率和疫苗接种情况,并与该地区的一般人群进行了比较。然后,我们评估了感染率的影响以及对疫苗接种的授权。结果:虽然我们发现前2周内医护人员的疫苗接种率与HCW COVID-19感染率之间存在关联,但某些职业群体的COVID-19感染率较高并未导致这些群体的疫苗接种率增加。到2021年10月27日,即未接种疫苗的卫生保健员被禁止提供卫生保健之日,只有1.6%的VCH未接种疫苗,而IH为6.5%。与城市居民相比,这两个地区的农村工人未接种疫苗的比例明显更高。超过1800名工人,包括6.7%的农村卫生保健员和3.6%的城市卫生保健员,仍未接种疫苗,并将被终止就业。虽然该任务促使第二剂的吸收显著增加,但对未接种疫苗者的影响尚不清楚。结论:由于农村地区往往人手不足,卫生保健员的流失可能对医疗保健服务以及未接种疫苗的卫生保健员的生计产生严重影响。需要作出更大努力,了解如何更好地解决与农村有关的疫苗犹豫的驱动因素。

Introduction: Little is known about the surgical needs of rural, remote or circumpolar populations in Canada; these same regions are also home to half of all Indigenous people in the country. In the present study, we sought to understand the relative impact of family physicians with enhanced surgical skills (FP-ESS) and Specialist Surgeons in the surgical care of a mostly Indigenous rural and remote community in the western Canadian Arctic.

Methods: A descriptive and retrospective quantitative study was conducted to determine the number and range of procedures performed for the defined catchment population of the Beaufort Delta Region of the Northwest Territories, as well as the type of surgical provider and location of that service, over the 5 years from 1 April, 2014, to 31 March, 2019.

Results: FP-ESS physicians in Inuvik performed 79% of all endoscopic and 22% of all surgical procedures, which accounted for nearly half of the total procedures performed. Over 50% of all procedures were performed locally (47.7% by FP-ESS and 5.6% by visiting specialist surgeons). For surgical cases alone, nearly one-third were performed locally, one-third in Yellowknife and the remaining one-third out-of-territory.

Conclusions: This networked model reduces the overall demand on surgical specialists, who can better focus their efforts on surgical care that is beyond the scope of FP-ESS. With nearly half of the procedural needs of this population being met locally by FP-ESS, there are decreased health-care costs, better access and more surgical care closer to home.

引言:对加拿大农村、偏远地区或极地地区人口的手术需求知之甚少;这些地区也是全国一半土著人民的家园。在本研究中,我们试图了解具有增强手术技能的家庭医生(FP-ESS)和专科外科医生在加拿大西部北极地区一个主要是土著农村和偏远社区的外科护理中的相对影响。方法:进行了一项描述性和回顾性定量研究,以确定2014年4月1日至2019年3月31日的5年间,为西北地区博弗特三角洲地区定义的集水区人口进行的手术次数和范围,以及手术提供者的类型和服务地点。结果:Inuvik的FP-ESS医生完成了79%的内窥镜手术和22%的外科手术,占总手术的近一半。超过50%的手术在当地完成(47.7%由FP-ESS完成,5.6%由来访的专科医生完成)。仅就外科病例而言,近三分之一在当地进行,三分之一在耶洛奈夫进行,其余三分之一在境外进行。结论:这种网络化模式降低了对外科专家的总体需求,他们可以更好地专注于FP-ESS范围之外的外科护理。由于这一人群近一半的手术需求由FP-ESS在当地满足,因此降低了医疗保健费用,改善了获得机会的机会,并在离家较近的地方提供了更多的外科护理。
