Background Vector control remains the principal method to prevent malaria transmission and has contributed to shrinking the malaria map. However, such gains have stagnated across Africa, underscoring the need to tailor vector control to local drivers of transmission. An Entomological Surveillance Planning Tool (ESPT) was developed to distil normative guidance into an operational decision-support tool to enable cost effective, locally tailored, and evidence-based vector control. To support roll out of the ESPT’s question-based entomological surveillance planning an interactive digital toolkit, eSPT, was developed.

Background and objectives Medical students regularly report high study demands and low mental health. We thus studied medical students in two different curricula in Germany investigating their study demands, study and life satisfaction, and overall and mental health with emphasis on contrasting beginners and advanced students.

Task shifting and sharing (TS/S) are strategies for redistributing healthcare services from more specialised to less-qualified providers. It aims to optimise service delivery, particularly in resource-constrained settings with workforce shortages. Our paper provides an overview of the global landscape of TS/S research, examining the geographic distribution, publication trends, variation in descriptors for TS/S and the disease focus of articles on TS/S. We searched five databases in October 2022, namely Medline, CINAHL Plus, Elsevier, Global Health and Google Scholar. Our bibliographic analysis included 2,072 articles related to TS/S. We extracted data on the countries where the studies were based, the terminology used to describe task redistribution, and the specific disease focus of the publications. The findings were then visualised and analysed to uncover trends and insights. The results revealed that TS/S research has been most extensively conducted in certain African and South Asian countries, particularly South Africa, India, Uganda, Kenya and Malawi. The terminology used to describe task redistribution varied, with “task shifting” being the most common term (66.0%), followed by “task sharing” (24.0%), “task delegation” (6.0%), and “task shifting and sharing” (3.9%). The disease focus of the publications was diverse, with HIV (n=450) and depression (n=375) being the most studied conditions, A major proportion of articles (42.5%) did not carry a disease focus, instead concentrated on broader health systems strengthening and policy issues. In conclusion, our study offers insights into the global landscape of TS/S research, highlighting the geographic disparities, terminology nuances and disease-specific applications. We believe our findings can inform future research and practice, including the need for standardisation of terminology, targeted implementation efforts, expansion of disease-specific applications and a focus on comprehensive systems strengthening. By addressing these considerations, stakeholders can optimise the impact of TS/S strategies and improve healthcare delivery and outcomes globally.

The iMPAKT App has been developed as a digital tool for implementing and measuring person- centredness in nursing and midwifery practice. Despite its potential usefulness for the collection of person-centred measures, appropriate strategies are required to enhance the implementation of the app. To better understand the factors affecting adoption and maintenance, this protocol describes a multi-methods study to examine the experience of using the iMPAKT App in different contexts and settings. A convergent, multiple-methods approach will be used. Nurses and midwifes working in teams at different study sites in the UK and Australia will use the app during two, six-week cycles of data collection. Qualitative interviews and focus groups, guided by the Consolidated Framework for Implementation Research (CFIR) will be used to explore individual responses, views and experiences around acceptability and engagement with the app, and to examine variations in contexts. Quantitative data will be gathered on the number of person-centred measures recorded during the data collection cycles and using the System Usability Scale. Results will help to develop an understanding of the determinants and processes underpinning successful implementation, and inform further research to develop tailored implementation strategies, aimed at facilitating large scale collection of data on person- centred measures using the iMPAKT App.

Background Prescribers must possess extensive knowledge and maintain a positive attitude towards the rational use of medicines to achieve desirable treatment outcomes and effectively prevent treatment failures, increased costs, drug toxicities, and interactions. The objective of this study was to evaluate prescribers’ understanding and perception concerning the rational use of medicines in public hospitals. Additionally, the study aimed to identify the factors that influence rational prescribing practices.

Current insights to personalize supportive care for patients with immunological disorders, especially in the context of medical treatments, remain inadequate. Delivering and guiding supportive care unquestionably contributes to a higher quality of life and better overall healthcare. The ‘Subjective Health Experience (SHE) Model’ provides a general framework, comprising four segments, to differentiate supportive healthcare in a quick and practical approach. In this report both health care workers and patients tailored the unique needs of patients with immunological disorders to improve their supportive care.

The saturation of self-care products in the market is coupled with inadequate information on their safe usage. In Japan, although foods with function claims (FFC) are prevalent, their labelling falls short in quality and effectiveness as health information, impeding consumer comprehension and proper utilization. Hence, it is imperative to establish a system that assesses the efficacy of labelling information from both provider and user perspectives. From providers’ or healthcare professionals’ perspective, we already developed a Communication Index to assess FFC labelling, which we utilized to evaluate five FFC products. Those products achieved a proficiency level of approximately 70%, falling below the acceptance criteria. Particularly, challenges were identified in understanding some of the terms and locating important information on the labels. In this study, we conducted user-testing from the user perspective for five same FFC labels to evaluate them using semi-structured interviews with 50 participants of diverse ages and sexes. A passing criterion for comprehension was set as ≥90% correct responses to all questions. Of the five FFC products, one passed the user-testing criterion with a 2-min response time; however, none passed the 1-min response time test. The proportions of correct answers were notably low for questions on diet and allergies (each 50-90%), concomitant medications (50-100%), storage (30-100%), and handling (30-100%). Participants’ comments revealed a lack of familiarity with FFC, highlighting that the terms and text in the labelling were confusing and overly technical. User-testing provides valuable insights for improving FFC labelling, thereby ensuring safe and appropriate use by aligning with consumers’ understanding and perceptions. We assessed FFC label information from both the provider and user perspectives, but neither yielded satisfactory results. Consequently, the implementation of an integrated system capable of evaluating FCC labels as health information material from both perspectives would be necessary.

Background Prior research has shown that patients with stable ischemic heart disease who undergo delayed coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) surgery face higher mortality rates than those who receive CABG within the time recommended by physicians. However, this research did not account for percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI), a widely available alternative to delayed CABG in many settings. We sought to establish whether there was a difference in mortality between timely PCI and delayed CABG.

Background System-level barriers inhibit empathy in healthcare, and this can harm patients and practitioners. The barriers include burnout-inducing administrative workloads, burdensome protocols, lack of wellbeing spaces, un-empathic leadership, and not emphasising empathy as an institutional value. A workshop aimed at enhancing empathic systems was successfully delivered in Canada but has not been tested in the UK National Health Service (NHS) setting.
