Media campaigns on COVID-19 protocols were launched in Nigeria to reduce the spread of the virus. There was evidence to suggest disobedience to the protocols. Thus, this study investigates factors that facilitated civil disobedience to COVID-19 protocols and the implications for the management of the virus. Awareness, mediatisation and personal, cultural and societal factors constructs were formulated to measure the level of civil disobedience. Kaiser–Meyer–Olkin’s Measure of Sampling Adequacy used for the study revealed that 86.4% out of the sampled size was sufficient for testing and validating variables in the civil disobedience construct, 69.1% and 63.1% for awareness and mediatisation constructs, respectively. The constructs were subjected to inferential statistical analysis, and the variables measured at the continuous and linear relationship levels. The study found economic status and media reports as the determinants of peoples’ awareness of the virus. Provision of adequate information and exposure to COVID-related contents were dominant factors under mediatisation; social distancing and use of face masks were dominant factors of civil disobedience. This study concluded that media campaigns on COVID-19 protocols failed to achieve needed behavioural changes due to economic issues, language barriers, insensitivity of government and inadequate provision of essential amenities.

Groups within the healthcare organisations are widespread subjects of research nowadays. Nevertheless, informal groups are rarely examined in healthcare. This study is a descriptive cross-sectional study aimed to determine the formation of informal groups and its dimensions in Turkey. A survey design was adopted and sample size was 208. The questionnaire was validated using exploratory factor analysis and Cronbach’s alpha coefficient. The study unveiled that the ownership of hospitals are prominent determinants of informal groups. Demographic, social and environmentally proximity are the main factors for public employees to take part in an informal group while intellectual life and closeness are the main factors for private sector employees. The study suggests that managers should assume the most part of responsibility to determine employee’s abilities, preferences and social features to cooperate with informal groups.

Training is widely considered to contribute to the ‘can do’ and ‘will do’ capacities of health workers. Having appropriately skilled health workers is recognised as critical to assuring quality health services. This study examined the relevance of in-service training (IST) provided to maternal health workers (MHW) in rural Vietnam. A mixed method approach was used involving a survey of 240 health workers providing maternal health services and managers and 43 in-depth interviews of health workers and managers from 5 health districts across two provinces in Vietnam. Although two thirds of participants reported accessing IST within the previous 12 months, only 53.3% attended maternal health training. Factors related to the self-reported ability to perform Essential Obstetric Care (EOC) include: Being trained on EOC; Work experience; and Qualifications of MHWs. Participants reported that the IST was irrelevant to their actual needs, while managers reported frustration that IST programs were scheduled haphazardly, dependent on budget availability. In conclusion, in-service training programs should be designed taking into account the needs of the workforce and managers in terms of content, mode of delivery, scheduling and follow-up. Poorly planned and inappropriately delivered training may contribute to a perceived inability to provide EOC.

COVID-19 has wreaked havoc worldwide, challenging science, basic humanity, and mankind by posing various physiological, psychological, social, economic, and political threats. We conducted an online survey in some regions of Maharashtra, prominently Pune and Mumbai to understand the psychological impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the general population and the mental health of the public. The motive behind the research was to focus on the positive as well as the negative impact of the coronavirus crisis on the public. Social distancing, quarantine, and lockdown have affected different people in different ways. Major emphasis was laid upon the dominant factors that affect the mental well-being of an individual such as sleep routine, work schedule and social life. The survey responses were analysed to obtain useful results. We present the statistical analysis of the collected data and discuss important correlations between various factors using Cramer’s V correlation method. It is critical to study the responses of the human brain in such cases, so that mankind can prepare for any other catastrophic events in future.

This paper is devoted to exploring the linkages between livelihood assets, healthcare facilities and health well-being in Indo-Bangladesh international border adjacent location. To establish the linkages, Sustainable Livelihood Approach (SLA) has been adopted here. The study assumes that adjacency to the international border makes the location vulnerable. The study evaluates that lesser access to healthcare facilities in Border Adjacent Zone (BAZ) makes the people unable to cope with their poor health conditions. Even the livelihood asset is not at a satisfactory level by which the worse condition are to be overcome. Better health conditions and greater access to healthcare facilities make the households in Border Distant Zone (BDZ) enjoy sustainable health well-being that too with higher scores of livelihood assets.

The existing state of health infrastructure and services, which is often poor in rural areas of the country is further faced with challenges due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The current study attempts to provide some key insights on the impact of COVID-19 on utilisation of maternal healthcare services during the pandemic. The study used the mixed-method data, gathered through a cross-sectional study conducted in 2020 in South 24 Parganas district of West Bengal. Currently, married women ( n = 318) who were pregnant or had delivered a child were selected for the interview through a multi-stage sampling technique. Frequency distribution, bi-variate cross tabulation and logistic regression were performed. Of the eligible women during the pandemic, 86% have received regular antenatal care, 73% have delivered in a health facility even though the quality of service was poor; and only 37.6% received postnatal care within 42 days of delivery. ‘Risk perception of women towards being infected with COVID-19’ were found to be the most significant determinants of maternal healthcare utilisation. COVID-19 pandemic has significantly affected the quality and utilisation of maternal health services in rural West Bengal. The results suggest the need for better preparedness of healthcare facilities in terms of human resources and physical infrastructure; as well as educating the community through awareness (counter rumours) and through risk and behaviour change communication regarding COVID-19 protocols and community engagement to effectively manage utilisation of Maternal healthcare services during pandemic.

The training of nursing students is essential for the professional development and quality of care. The purpose of this study is to assess the gap between theory and practice among undergraduate nursing students in Al-Makassed nursing college, a cross-sectional survey was used in this study. The questionnaire consists of two parts: socio-demographic information part and questions related to students, instructors, curriculum, practical training field and communication factors. The results of this study show that there is a gap between theoretical education and practice training. There were several factors in nursing students’ training, such as curriculum, communication, practical training field, instructors and instructions. The conclusion of this study shows that nursing education should reconsider current methods of theoretical and practical training learning and looking for ways to prepare the best professional nurses’ future.

Since the COVID-19 virus was first identified early in 2020, it has killed an estimated 20 million people worldwide and wreaked economic damage estimated to be higher than $13 trillion by the end of 2024 (International Monetary Fund, 2022). The excess mortality around the world suggests that the virus continues to cause the deaths of several thousand people a day (Wallace-Wells, 2023). It has significantly affected the progress of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDG). COVID-19 pandemic affected not only SDG3 (good health and well-being) but also indirectly the progress of SDG1 (no poverty), SDG2 (zero hunger), SDG4 (quality education), SDG9 (investing in innovation and infrastructure) and SDG10 (reducing inequities) (Hollnagel et al., 2013). Nevertheless, as the crisis phase of COVID-19 passes, international efforts are gaining steam to put in place a more effective system to prepare for future pandemics. Since the global health emergency ended, many countries have begun dismantling the infrastructure, systems and other resources set up during the COVID-19 response. It is important to ensure that these capacities can be maintained and swiftly mobilised to respond to such outbreaks and other public health emergencies. Building resilient health systems will not only have the ability to cope with the shocks of public health emergencies but will also have the ability to recover to normalcy faster (Hollnagel et al., 2013). Individual countries need to improve their capacity to prevent, detect and respond to outbreaks. This does not just mean throwing money at the problem; however, now is the time for well thought out, targeted investments in resilient health systems that reflect the learnings from COVID-19 both within and between countries, as well as recognising the specific priorities and risks that countries face. In this editorial, we provide a summary of key strategies that improve the resilience of health systems. We also identify areas where greater clarity is needed on resilience and its relation to existing approaches to health systems strengthening. This mainstreaming of resilience, we hope, will assist in its inclusion as a key outcome of future health systems strengthening investments.

Nowadays, the rapid advancement of technological developments consists of complex and large databases. Software programmes are needed because it can be very difficult to process the complex data. The aim of the study is to reveal the patient profile by data mining of the hospital information system and to help make strategic decisions according to patient profile analysis in the establishment of a new hospital or additional hospital departments in the future. The application of data mining in the health sector provides the sector with a faster, reliable and different perspective on decision-making by reaching the desired data. For this purpose, data mining decision tree algorithms were applied, and patient profile estimations were found by using the data of patients receiving service from a private health institution with hospitals in different settlements. By categorising the characteristics of the individuals receiving service and the branches from which they receive service, it was revealed with which variables the patient profile is related. It is thought that determining patient profile will help to follow a more accurate path in the stage of meeting their demands.

Multiple studies have analysed the incidence of wrong-site surgeries (WSSs) in developed countries. This study aims to find out information relevant to the incidence and pattern of WSS in India. Multiple sources like Medline, EMBASE and the Global Health Library databases were searched for abstracts and citations in all languages published between 1 January 1975 and 31 December 2018, describing any WSS from India. After extensively searching the online databases only one case report related to WSS in India could be found. Zero incidences of WSS in general surgery from India seem fallacious and it is due to non-reporting of such events and the Government of India should implement a national registry to maintain data on WSS, which can lead to improved surgical care.
