Background: In this study we aimed to evaluate Continuing Medical Education (CME) activities of primary care physicians. Methods: An e-mail questionnaire, based on the Jefferson Scale of Physician Life Long Learning (JSPLL), was sent to hospital- and community-based physicians in the Negev District. Results: Eighty eight hospital-based physicians (38% response rate) and 118 community-based physicians (31% response) participated in the study. Hospital physicians participated more in annual meetings of professional medical associations (P<0.0001). They also gave more talks at professional meetings and took part more in research studies (P<0.0001). The variables that predicted the upper tertile of the most updated physicians were age (OR=0.947; 95% CI 0.926-0.968), male gender (OR=2.502; 95% CI 1.019-4.268), and active participation in teaching (OR=4.013; 95% CI 1.347-11.954). Conclusion: Both hospital and community physicians have a high level of access to medical journals and the Internet, but CME activities have been adapted more by hospital physicians.
背景:本研究旨在评估初级保健医生的继续医学教育(CME)活动。方法:以杰弗逊医师终身学习量表(JSPLL)为基础，向内盖夫地区的医院和社区医生发送电子邮件问卷。结果:88名医院医生(38%的回复率)和118名社区医生(31%的回复率)参与了本研究。医院医师参加专业医学协会年会较多(P<0.0001)。他们在专业会议上做了更多的演讲，参与了更多的研究(P<0.0001)。预测更新最多的医生的上五分位数的变量是年龄(OR=0.947;95% CI 0.926-0.968)，男性(OR=2.502;95% CI 1.019-4.268)，积极参与教学(OR=4.013;95% ci 1.347-11.954)。结论:医院和社区医生对医学期刊和互联网的获取程度都很高，但医院医生对CME活动的适应程度更高。

Background: Identification of the elements of the perception users of health services is a critical step in the development of measurement scales to assess such perception. This study is the second of a three phase approach to create a validated tool for the assessment of caregiver’s perceived quality of child health care in Primary health care (PHC) facilities. The first phase was exploratory using qualitative methods to assess the perceptions of caregivers about quality of child health care services; it yielded 39 quality-of-care items. Method: In this current study, we subjected the 39 quality of care items to expert review using the modified Delphi method. This method is useful for providing evidence for content validity in quantitative scale design. A total of 33 experts, including public health specialists, pediatricians and medical sociologists, participated in three iterative rounds. In each round the experts awarded score to the items and consensus amongst experts was determined by calculating inter quartile range of the assigned scores. Results: At the end of the three rounds of expert review, the total number of question items that had shown consensus considerably amongst the expert reviewers was 23. Conclusion: For these 23 items, a three point Likert scale response format was framed appropriately as a quantitative scale for assessing perceived quality of child health services in PHC facilities.

Health literacy is of great importance for clinicians to maximize patient involvement and in the effective delivery of healthcare services. Health literacy driven health communication strategies may encourage appropriate and optimal use of healthcare resources and medications. We evaluated health literacy level in veterans with unique population demographics and focused on patient self-perceived health status (SPHS). Veterans (N=194) were enrolled in this cross-sectional study. Only 40% had poor or inadequate health literacy level. Older individuals displayed poorer health literacy level. 57.2% of the patients had good/above SPHS. Patients with good or above SPHS had 1.7 times higher (OR: 1.68, 95% CI=0.79-3.54) compared to patients with below good SPHS. Veterans with hospitalization were 11% less likely (OR=0.89) to report good or adequate health literacy level compared to those not hospitalized. Veterans with good or adequate health literacy level perceived their health status to be better than veterans with poor or inadequate health literacy. Using plain and simple language by providers while counseling patients about their disease and medications, might have a positive ripple effect on the current patient-centered care delivery. Clinicians could use a tailored approach to improve communication with patients.

Introduction and objectives: This research was conducted to determine the mental health status of individuals who participate in sport. Methods: Research is planned in a descriptive relational type. The study was conducted with face-to-face interviews with 143 people who participate in sport. In gathering the data; the information form prepared by the researchers questioning the socio-demographic information of the individuals and the General Health Questionnaire were used. The sample of the research has been formed by sports over 18 years of age who have been educated. In determining the sample of the research, the universal sampling method was used. The number and percentage distributions of the demographic data were used in the evaluation of the study and the chi square test was used to evaluate the relationship between the socio demographic characteristics and the general health. Results: When the socio-demographic characteristics of the sports were examined, the mean age was 31.12 ± 3.24, 48.3% were female, 51.7% were male, 51.6% were married 48.4% were single, 49%, 68 were high school graduates, 47.61% were chronic illnesses and 50.37% had daily sports for 1-5 hours. When the mood states of the athletes were evaluated according to the GSA-12 score, 41.4% were low (<2 points), 36.36% were middle (2-3 points) and 21.39% were high) were found. When the socio-demographic characteristics of the sports and general health questionnaire score were examined, it was found that the mental health of the men was better and the difference was statistically significant (χ2=3.147, p<0.05). Conclusions: When the results obtained from the study are evaluated, women, marriages, high school graduates, those with chronic illnesses and those with 1-5 hours of daily sports are at risk for mental health.
