Understand population perceptions in Kosovo[1] regarding COVID-19 vaccination to inform the pandemic response.
Methods
Five rounds of a cross-sectional survey in representative samples of adults during 2020–2021. Analysis includes descriptive statistics, hierarchical cluster analysis, segmentation and logistic regressions.
Results
Self-reported intention to vaccinate increased after the introduction of COVID-19 vaccines in Kosovo.[1] In less than one year, vaccination intentions increased from 36% to 66% of those unvaccinated. Predictors for vaccine intentions included gender, age, trust in health authorities. Segmentation analysis identified population segments that had high vaccine nintentions but low uptake, informing messages and campaign initiatives designed to translate intentions into behavior.
Conclusion
Identifying people's perceptions and behavior is essential to support evidence-based policy making, especially during outbreak response.
Innovation
BI is an innovative focus of research in Kosovo [1] where little BI data had been collected prior, and provided a unique understanding of population views, attitudes and behaviors related to COVID-19. These findings were not only essential for an evidence-based pandemic response but also laid the foundation for future broad application of BI to inform interventions that seek to enable, support and promote health-related behaviurs in Kosovo[1]

Background
Maternity care increasingly aims to achieve Shared Decision-making (SDM), yet seemingly not to the benefit of clients with low health literacy (HL). We developed an SDM training for healthcare professionals (HCPs) and a conversation aid to support HL-sensitive SDM in maternity care.
Methods
The training and conversation aid were based on previous needs assessments and expert consultation, and were developed in co-creation with clients (n = 15) and HCPs (n = 7). Usability, acceptability and comprehension of the conversation aid were tested among new clients (n = 14) and HCPs (n = 6). Acceptability of the training was tested among midwifery students (n = 5).
Results
In the co-creation sessions, clients reported to expect that their midwife becomes acquainted with their general values, priorities and daily context. Clients also emphasized wanting to be supported in their preferred decisional role. User test interviews showed that clients and HCPs were positive towards using the conversation aid, but also apprehensive about the time it required. The user test of the training showed that more attention was needed for recognizing and adapting information provision to clients' HL level.
Conclusion and innovation
The newly developed conversation aid and training have potential to support HCPs and clients in HL-sensitive SDM.

Objective
Serious games can serve as easily accessible interventions to support siblings of children with disabilities, who are at risk of developing mental health problems. The Dutch serious game ‘Broodles’ was developed for siblings aged 6–9 years. The current study aims to assess the cultural applicability, desirability, feasibility, and acceptability of ‘Broodles’ in Norway.
Methods
Norwegian siblings (N = 16) aged 6–13 years and parents (N = 12) of children with intellectual disabilities assessed the game. Their feedback data from interviews and questionnaires were sorted using a model of engagement factors in serious games.
Results
At pre-use, participants showed interest in the game, and after initial use the participants were overall positive about the format, content and objectives, including validation of emotions and recognition. The participants had suggestions for improved engagement and feasibility.
Conclusion
The game was found to be culturally applicable, desirable and acceptable, although Norwegian translation is necessary for further evaluation. Recommendations to enhance engagement were provided, including suggestions to play the game with parents or in a group.
Innovation
This initial assessment of the serious game Broodles in a non-Dutch setting shows promise for an innovative way of supporting siblings of children with disabilities.

Objective
End-of-life experiences can have important implications for the meaning-making and communication of bereaved family members, particularly due to (in)access to formal healthcare services (i.e., palliative care and hospice). Grounded in Communicated Narrative Sense-Making theory, this study extends knowledge about how the stories told about end-of-life by bereaved family members affect and reflect their sense-making, well-being and importantly, potential disparities in end-of-life care.
Methods
Semi-structured interviews with 25 bereaved individuals were conducted regarding their experiences with the terminal illness and death of an immediate family member. Using a framework of family bereavement narratives, a cross-case data analysis demonstrated qualitative patterns between (in)access to end-of-life care and how participants framed bereavement stories.
Results
Four themes illustrated the continuum of communication that families engaged in when making sense of end-of-life experiences, including reflections on silence, tempered frustrations, comfort with care, and support from beyond.
Innovation
This innovative qualitative connection between family members' bereavement stories and end-of-life care emphasizes the importance of employing a health equity lens within hospice and palliative care, especially in addressing the important aim of comprehensively supporting families even when illness ends. This study demonstrates that access to, quality of, and imagining beyond current structures for EOL may be vital factors for facilitating effective sense-making for the dying and their family systems.
Conclusion
These findings illustrate the potential interconnections between (in)access to end-of-life care, sense-making, and communication for individuals and families experiencing terminal illness and bereavement.

Objective
This study created personas using quantitative segmentation and knowledge user enhancement to inform intervention and service design for rural patients to encourage preventive care uptake.
Methods
This study comprised a cross-sectional survey of rural unattached patients and a co-design workshop for persona development. Cross-sectional survey data were analyzed for meaningful subgroups based on quartiles of preventive care completion. These quartiles informed “relevant user segments” grouped according to demographics (age, sex), length of unattachment, percentage of up-to-date preventive activities, health care visit frequency, preventive priorities, communication confidence with providers, and chronic health conditions, which were then used in the workshop to build the final personas.
Results
207 responses informed persona user segments, and five health care providers and 13 patients attended the workshop. The resulting four personas, included John (not up-to-date on preventive care activities), Terrance (few up-to-date preventive care activities), George (moderately up-to-date preventive care activities), and Anne (mostly up-to-date preventive care activities).
Conclusion
Quantitative persona development with integrated knowledge user co-design/enhancement elevated and enriched final personas that achieved robust profiles for intervention design.
Innovation
This project's use of a progressive methodology to build robust personas coupled with participant feedback on the co-design process offers a replicable approach for health researchers.

Objective
To systematically review research analyzing the effectiveness of decision aids for end-of-life care, including how researchers specifically measure decision aid success.
Methods
We conducted a systematic review synthesizing quantitative, qualitative, and mixed-methods study results using Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analysis guidelines. Four databases were searched through February 18, 2023. Inclusion criteria required articles to evaluate end-of-life care decision aids. The review is registered under PROSPERO (#CRD42023408449).
Results
A total of 715 articles were initially identified, with 43 meeting the inclusion criteria. Outcome measures identified included decisional conflict, less aggressive care desired, knowledge improvements, communication improvements, tool satisfaction, patient anxiety and well-being, and less aggressive care action completed. The majority of studies reported positive outcomes especially when the decision aid development included International Patient Decision Aid Standards.
Conclusion
Research examining end of life care decision aid use consistently reports positive outcomes.
Innovation
This review presents data that can guide the next generation of decision aids for end-of-life care, namely using the International Patient Decision Aid Standards in developing tools and showing which tools are effective for helping to prevent the unnecessary suffering that can result when patients' dying preferences are unknown.

Objective
We outline the development of a narrative intervention guided by the Common-Sense Model of Self-Regulation (CSM) to promote Human Papillomavirus (HPV) vaccination in a diverse college population.
Methods
We adapted the Obesity-Related Behavioral Intervention Trials (ORBIT) model to guide the development, evaluation, and refinement of a CSM-guided narrative video. First, content experts developed a video script containing information on HPV, HPV vaccines, and HPV-related cancers. The script and video contents were evaluated and refined, in succession, utilizing the think-aloud method, open-ended questions, and a brief survey during one-on-one interviews with university students.
Results
Script and video content analyses led to significant revisions that enhanced quality, informativeness, and relevance to the participants. We highlight the critical issues that were revealed and revised in the iterative process
Conclusions
We developed and refined a CSM guided narrative video for diverse university students. This framework serves as a guide for developing health communication interventions for other populations and health behaviors.
Innovation
This project is the first to apply the ORBIT framework to HPV vaccination and describe a process to develop, evaluate, and refine comparable CSM guided narrative interventions that are tailored to specific audiences.

Objectives
To assess the PharmD student's experiences about end year clerkship evaluation conducted using Objective Structured Clinical Exam (OSCE) format at JSS College of Pharmacy, Mysuru, India.
Methods
The student's experiences were captured using a newly developed, 14-item, 5-point Likert's scale feedback form. The results were analyzed and presented descriptively. The Mann-Whitney U test was used to compare the Likert's scale responses between the sex, entry level for PharmD and performance in the end year exam, whereas the Spearman's rank correlation coefficient test was used to measure the strength of association between the Likert's' scale responses and these variables. A p value of <0.05 was considered statistically significant.
Results
Thirty-seven students of fifth year PharmD attended the end year clerkship evaluation and provided their feedback. Out of the 14-items, the most frequent response in eleven items was strongly agree and in three items it was agree. The Mann-Whitney U test revealed statistically significant differences between regular and postbaccalaureate students with respect to Likert's scale responses in all the domains (p < 0.02). The Spearman's rank correlation test revealed no association between the students' performance and their experiences with OSCE as an assessment tool for the end year clerkship exam.
Conclusions
The study results demonstrate that OSCE is an alternative and preferred method of evaluating the clinical skills and competencies of fifth year PharmD students in their end year clerkship exam in India.

Objective
To obtain insights into parents' information needs during the first year at home with their very preterm (VP) born infant.
Methods
We conducted semi-structured interviews with parents of VP infants participating in a post-discharge responsive parenting intervention (TOP program). Online interviews were audiotaped and transcribed verbatim. Inductive thematic analysis was performed by two independent coders.
Results
Ten participants were interviewed and had various and changing information needs during the developmental trajectory of their infant. Three main themes emerged; (1) Help me understand and cope, (2) Be fully responsible for my baby, and (3) Teach me to do it myself. Available and used sources, such as the Internet, did not meet their information needs. Participants preferred their available and knowledgeable healthcare professionals for reassurance, tailored information, and practical guidance.
Conclusion
This study identified parents' information needs during the first year at home with their VP infant and uncovered underlying re-appearing needs to gain confidence in child-caring abilities and autonomy in decision-making about their infants' care.
Innovation
This study provides valuable information for healthcare professionals and eHealth developers to support parental self-efficacy during the first year after preterm birth.
