Objectives: In aging or aged societies, smart homes for health provide an option for older people to age with dignity and independence, while imposing minimal additional responsibilities on others.The goal of this paper is to review two major concerns related to smart homes to which policymakers should pay attention. Methods: This paper reviews extant research on the current state of related new technologies and analyzes potential problems based on literature on data privacy and equity. Results: First, smart homes face privacy violation risks because they provide sensitive personal information to various entities. Second, because smart homes are relatively costly to build and maintain, they are more likely to be available to a limited segment of the population. Discussion: Since many countries are currently introducing smart homes, proper policies need to be devised in order to prevent these negative consequences.

Health literacy (HL) is the key to communicating important medical and health information in “plain language”. Plain language is a term meaning language that can be easily read and understood, generally considered at the 8th grade level. In this review we will define health literacy in terms of fundamental, cultural, and scientific health literacy. A second objective of the paper is to identify and discuss health conditions among the Fijian population. A focus on chronic disease prevention is selected as this population faces high rates of for diabetes, heart disease, HIV/STDs and other chronic diseases. Third, we will discuss the best forms of communication to adequately address disease prevention and health promotion among this at-risk population. Fourth, we will present effective and culturally appropriate interventions to improve health literacy skills for primary health providers, and their patients.

Objective: This study measured the symptoms of Premenstrual Syndrome (PMS) and explored the affecting factors and predictors in female students with disabilities. Materials and Methods: This is a cross-sectional and quantitative study. The subjects were female college students with disabilities who were recruited from Taiwan through college counseling centers using cluster random sampling. A total of 180 subjects completed valid questionnaires. The research data was analyzed by SPSS Version 18.0 through independent t-test and stepwise regression. Results: The mean age of participants was 20.85 years. The most severe and remissive symptoms were irritability, unstable mood and lack of energy. There was high prevalence of PMS for female students with disabilities (97.2%). The affecting factors of the severe PMS were gynecological disease, diet, family menstruation uncomfortable history, irregularity, lifestyle, irregular diet, learning hassles, interpersonal hassles, and irregular exercise. The crucial predictors of the severity of PMS were interpersonal hassles, gynecological disease, and irregular exercise. The explained proportion of variance was 16.9%, while the affecting factors of the remission of PMS were the severity of PMS and acceptance of mindfulness, while the crucial predictors of the remission of PMS were the same two factors. The explained proportion of variance was 67.3%. Conclusion: This study offers suggestions for how to manage PMS by exercise, diet, healthy lifestyle, decreasing psychological disturbances, and offering mindfulness practices. Allowing mindfulness philosophy to be practiced in students’ daily lives can improve their symptoms of PMS.

Background: Cancer is a major public health concern around the globe. It is the second leading cause of mortality in the United States. According to the American Cancer Society, breast cancer incidence rates for 2011-2015 was 124.7 per 100,000, placing breast cancer incidence rates at the top of the list. Breast cancer mortality rates for 2012-2016 was 20.9 people per 100,000, placing breast cancer mortality rates after Lung and bronchus cancer. Healthy People 2020 states that breast cancer is highly detectable in early stages through breast screening using mammography. Despite an increased in screening and a 10% improvement in breast cancer death rates, breast cancer remains the focus of public health prevention in the US. Objective: To identified factors which are associated with breast cancer screening: mammography among women in the United States. Methods: We analyzed logistic regression models using data from the 2015 National Health Interview Survey (NHIS) to evaluate factors which are associated with mammography screening among women in the United States. Results: The most important result from the study was the association between health insurance and access to mammography screening. Women without health insurance are less likely to access mammography screening compared to women with health insurance. African American woman had slightly higher rate of recent mammogram compared to non-Hispanic White women. Women aged 51-64 reported more recent mammogram compared to women aged 40-50. Women from southern region of United States reported less recent mammogram compared to rest of the United States. Non-smokers were more likely to access mammography screening compared to smokers. Women with education attainment of bachelor's degree or higher were more likely to access mammography screening compared to women with high-school degree or less. Conclusion: The study indicated the importance of health insurance and education attainment for the access to mammography screening. The results urge researchers and public health officials to promote health education at secondary educational institutions such as high-school because it can increase women's understanding of health messages which may result in positive health behavior. The study highlights the importance of health insurance for ensuring positive healthy behaviors such as screening.
背景:癌症是全球主要的公共卫生问题。它是美国第二大死亡原因。根据美国癌症协会(American Cancer Society)的数据,2011年至2015年,乳腺癌的发病率为每10万人124.7例,高居榜首。2012-2016年乳腺癌死亡率为每10万人20.9人,排在肺癌和支气管癌之后。《2020年健康人》指出,通过使用乳房x光检查进行乳房筛查,乳腺癌在早期阶段是很容易检测到的。尽管筛查率有所提高,乳腺癌死亡率也降低了10%,但乳腺癌仍然是美国公共卫生预防的重点。目的:在美国女性中确定与乳腺癌筛查相关的因素:乳房x光检查。方法:我们使用2015年全国健康访谈调查(NHIS)的数据分析逻辑回归模型,以评估与美国女性乳房x光检查相关的因素。结果:该研究最重要的结果是健康保险与乳房x光检查之间的联系。与有医疗保险的妇女相比,没有医疗保险的妇女接受乳房x光检查的可能性更小。与非西班牙裔白人女性相比,非裔美国女性最近的乳房x光检查率略高。与40-50岁的女性相比,51-64岁的女性最近的乳房x光检查次数更多。与美国其他地区相比,来自美国南部地区的妇女报告的近期乳房x光检查较少。与吸烟者相比,不吸烟者更有可能接受乳房x光检查。与高中或更低学历的女性相比,本科或更高学历的女性更有可能接受乳房x光检查。结论:研究表明健康保险和受教育程度对乳房x光检查的重要性。研究结果敦促研究人员和公共卫生官员在高中等中等教育机构推广健康教育,因为这可以增加女性对健康信息的理解,从而产生积极的健康行为。该研究强调了健康保险对确保筛查等积极健康行为的重要性。

Background: Emerging research has begun to examine the breastfeeding experiences among racial/ethnic minority women. However, limited research to date has explored the potential factors that impact Latina mothers’ breastfeeding through a multi-level lens. We examined the context of breastfeeding among Latina mothers in an exploratory study. Methods: We conducted semi-structured interviews with a convenience sample of 9 Latina mothers. Guided by the social-ecological model, thematic content analysis was used. Results: Latina mothers described individual- (e.g., knowledge of breastfeeding), interpersonal- (e.g., social support and norms), institutional- (e.g., healthcare system), and community-level (e.g., cultural norms) influences on their breastfeeding. Mothers recommended provision of bilingual and bicultural health professionals, information on US breastfeeding norms, and Latino-friendly informational materials in other languages. Conclusions: Considering the multi-level factors that shape Latina mothers’ breastfeeding is essential to develop and implement culturally tailored initiatives and facilitate access to breastfeeding support to improve maternal and infant health.

Background/Aim: This methodological study was conducted to develop a health belief scale for lead exposure, and to analyze the validity and reliability of the scale. Materials and Methods: The study was carried out on 525 male workers applying to Ankara Occupational Diseases Hospital between February 1 and April 30, 2013. The Participant Information Form and the Health Belief Scale Related to Lead Exposure (HBSRLE) were used to collect data. Data content validity was analyzed with Law she technique by the experts of the subject, construct validity with factor analysis, and reliability with Cronbach's alpha coefficient and Spearman correlation analysis. Results: Construct validity analysis revealed that the scale was composed of six factors with factor loads ranging from .615 to .832 (p<0.05). Reliability analysis revealed that HBSRLE's Cronbach's alpha reliability coefficient was .94 and sub-dimensions ranged from .81 to .94. Based on split-half reliability analysis, SpearmanBrown coefficient of the Scale was .740 and the Gutman SplitHalf Coefficient was .739 (p<0.05). Spearman correlation analysis showed that item-total score correlations (Rho) ranged from .233 to .868 (p<0.001). Discussionand Conclusions: As a result of validity and reliability analyses, it was found that HBSRLE, consisting of 33 items and six sub-dimensions, is a valid and reliable scale.
