Rabies is still a public health problem. It is a zoonotic disease caused by a viral infection of the central nervous system. Several efforts have been taken, and one of them is mass vaccination for dogs. This systematic review aims to assess the cost-effectiveness of controlling rabies disease. Three online databases used as the source of this review are PubMed, ProQuest and CINAHL (EBSCO), published between 2008 and 2017. Fourteen articles reviewed based on the eligibility criteria were related to the intervention in preventing and controlling rabies. The articles consist of three randomised controlled trials and six nonrandomised controlled trials, including a pre-test-post-test-controlled design. Moreover, there is a one-time series article, which is an intervention for only one group of samples. Eight articles are directed at the intervention of lifestyles involving increased physical activity, diet and nutrition, with the main purpose to prevent the increase of metabolic syndrome status. Cost-effectiveness estimation is based on the mass vaccination programme for dogs, post-exposure prophylaxis (PEP) administration for humans and the combination of both. The model and variables in cost-effectiveness analysis are widely varied and associated with demography, socio-economics and programmes conducted in the study area.

Inappropriate use of the emergency department (ED) is a major problem worldwide. The lack of health care knowledge of the patients is an important factor in this respect. As a method to increase the health care information of patients who presented to the ED of an urban tertiary care hospital for non-urgent reasons, a training programme was implemented throughout 2017. For this purpose, the most frequent complaints of inappropriate use of ED were identified and educational leaflets were prepared regarding them. Through these leaflets, it was aimed to inform the patients about what they could do on their own for their mild complaints and in which situations they should seek treatment from ED, primary health care units, or outpatient clinics. In order to measure the effectiveness of this complaint-based patient education, as pre- and post-training, the inappropriate usage rates of ED for 2016 and 2018 were compared. Between 1 January 2017 and 31 December 2017, the rate of inappropriate use of ED was 43.9% (79,612 out of 181,216). Patients were informed about the urgency of their complaints through educational leaflets prepared. After the complaint-based patient education conducted throughout 2017, a significant decrease was observed in the rate of inappropriate use of the ED in post-training period in 2018 compared to before training in 2016 (OR 1.49; p < .001, 95% CI [1.47 1.51]). As a result, it can be said that structured and focused information programmes should be implemented for the patients presenting to the ED with non-urgent complaints. An effective complaint-based patient education can reduce the inappropriate use of ED.

Bullying among nurses and other health care professionals with low health quality has become a major global concern. Nurses were also recognised as people who are close to patients and can play an important role to manage work bullying through providing effective training and education programs.This systematic review was developed and aimed to identify and clarify concepts and provide an overview of the available evidence on workplace bullying (WPB) among nurses as part of health care delivery system. Systematic review of all types of studies involving nurses published between 2009 and 2020 and approached health-related databases Cumulative Index to Nursing and Allied Health Literature (CINAHL), Psychology and Behavioural Sciences (PsychINFO), MEDLINE, and Education Resource Information Centre (ERIC). The review used focused keywords: WPB, health care quality, safety, interpersonal conflict, work productivity and nursing. Forty-three studies met the review criteria and five main themes were discovered including the prevalence of WPB among nurses worldwide, prevalence of WPB among nurses in the Arab region, perpetrators of WPB, influence of bullying on productivity, and individual–organisational characteristics and bullying. Growing evidence provided a negative relationship between WPB, safety and productivity suggesting further research on how bullying is prevalent and what solutions would manage this problem, particularly in Jordan.

In India, physical inactivity in children and youth is a public health concern, and it is unfortunate to see that most Indian children do not accomplish prescribed levels of physical activity. We strongly believe that the availability of a physical activity motivation instrument specific to the Indian population can significantly promote physical activities in India. This study aimed to develop the student’s physical activity motivation scale (SPAMS). The convenience sampling method was used to collect data from 622 participants from 5 states and 1 union territory of India. A multi-stage approach using exploratory and confirmatory factor analysis was computed to develop and validate its psychometric properties in two different samples (EFA-311 and CFA-311). Factor analysis revealed three distinct factors underlying physical activity motivation: skill development, appearance and positive health. Based on the findings, it can be concluded that SPAMS meets the concept and external validity criteria and that it is suitable for theoretical and practical applications.

This article provides a description of integrated primary healthcare strategies in five Latin American countries to assess options for the implementation of a healthcare system based on Primary Care. Based on a document review of scientific articles and official documents from multilateral organisations, ministries, or health entities, it was possible to synthesise the Primary Health Care strategies that had been implemented to derive the main proposals that were potentially transferable. Argentina, Chile, Colombia, and Mexico have Primary Health Care actions aimed at promoting health and preventing diseases; Cuba is highlighted as a reference because of its family health model. The main difficulties are from healthcare system based on the neoliberal model and segmentation and fragmentation of healthcare services.This study provides important aspects of Primary Health Care, in terms of the need to revitalise with a family and community approach, integrating health services at three levels of primary prevention, intersectoral factors, community empowerment, resource allocation and training in human skills, as well as strengthening mental health and sexual health programmes. It concludes with suggestions for a more integrated Primary Health Care based on the strategies implemented and the local needs of the countries under study.

The article investigates the intentional use of a Web-based Health Information Service (WBHIS) through multi-factors influencing the use of a national, MyHEALTH Portal (MHP). The study utilised an online web-survey incorporates three interrelated aspects of investigation; acceptance influence, socio-cognitive, and software engineering factors (user interface and data quality), to investigate deeper on Malaysian health consumers’ intent to adopt the portal. Findings have shown health consumers’ intention to use MHP is positively influenced by the positive behavioural attitude of health consumers’ towards the portal. The study also supported the significant role played by software engineering factors; user interface design and data quality towards health consumers’ attitude of the portal. The results would assist Malaysia Health Education Division in gaining better insights into the design of a well-accepted WBHIS where specifically, the findings would improve the presence and functions of the MHP. This effort is evidently significant in helping the country to reach the 11th Malaysia Plan through its strategy to encourage health awareness and healthy lifestyle activities among its citizens.

In 2015, India has faced the largest number of under 5 (U5) death than all other countries, with regional disparities. Childhood diarrhoea and pneumonia are the major cause of U5 death. Using the data from the fourth round of National Family Health Survey (NFHS-IV, 2015–2016) for the eight North Eastern state we have tried to understand the prevalence of environmental health problems like ARI and diarrhoea and their correlates. These two diseases are the major cause of U5 deaths in low- and middle-income countries including India. Apart from bivariate analysis and logistic regression analysis we have also conducted spatial association to identify the regional variation in diarrhoea and ARI among U5 children in NE states. Household’s environmental factors and socio-economic characteristics are found to have significant impact on child mortality. Among the NE states Sikkim found to be better off and Meghalaya is worse in terms of child health outcome. Policies aimed at achieving the goal of reduction of child mortality should be directed on improving the household’s environmental and or socio-economic status if this goal is to be realised. India must analyze the process achieved and contemplate the consequences for reaching the Sustainable Development Goal’s targets for child survival.

The study aims to understand the major determinants of infant mortality in infant mortality-prone annual health survey states of India. The study has considered district level infant mortality rate as a dependent variable and household size, sex ratio at birth, female literacy, marriage before the legal age, birth spacing, full antenatal care, Mothers who received post-natal care within 48 hours of delivery, Children within 12 to 23 months who are fully immunised, Breastfeeding within 24 hours of birth, Children aged 6 to 35 months are only breastfed for the initial 6 months, women who are aware of HAF/ORS/ORT, and women who are aware of ARI/Pneumonia as independent variables. The study considered district-level data on the mentioned variables over nine annual health survey states over three years. The results reveal that female literacy, birth spacing, immunisation, only breastfeeding till 6 months, and awareness regarding HAF/ORS/ORT all have a statistically significant negative impact on IMR. On the other hand, post-natal care has a statistically significant positive impact on IMR. This surprising result can have two explanations. First, only those children receiving PNC who are already sick and succumbing to their sickness. Second, the patient death rate owing to hospital infection in India is very high, so it may be that infants are succumbing to this particular aspect. Identification of major determinants of infant mortality will eventually lead to actions against them, and that, in due course of time, will tame the onrush of infant mortality in Annual Health Survey States as well as other parts of India and the world. Quantification and determination of the major determinants of infant mortality for the annual health survey states are missing till date, and from that aspect, the article is novel.

Although a new Sri Lankan sport policy framework was introduced in 2012, no research has been done to evaluate the implementation of the policy framework. Consequently, the purpose of this study was to evaluate and identify mitigating factors in achieving the strategic goals of the Sri Lankan sport policy framework. Qualitative data and a quantitative approach were used to analyse and investigate the sport policy framework. A questionnaire (N = 240) and interviews (N = 05) were utilised to gather data from sport participants, non-sport participants and top-level sport administrators. Both quantitative and qualitative analyses suggested that the goals of the national sport policy framework have not been achieved. Lack of financial support, deficiency of government provision, institutional structural issues, and negative attitudes of policy actors were identified as mitigating factors in the process of policy implication. Developing an umbrella organisation for coordinating sport and government’s support are vital to resolve those problems.
