Leveraging the health equity implementation framework to foster an equity focus in medical education

Teaching equitable clinical practice is of critical importance, yet how best to do so remains unknown. Educators utilize implementation science frameworks to disseminate clinical evidence-based practices (EBP). The Health Equity Implementation Framework (HEIF) is one of these frameworks, and it delineates how health equity may be concomitantly assessed and addressed in planning the implementation of an EBP. The HEIF therefore lays a strong foundation to understand and explain barriers and facilitators to implementation through an equity lens, making it well-suited for use by medical educators. Three equity-focused frames of reference within the model include (1) the clinical encounter, (2) societal context, and (3) culturally relevant factors, herein referred to as domains. The HEIF provides a structure for prospective and retrospective assessment of how EBP are taught and ultimately incorporated into clinical practice by trainees, with specific attention to delivering equitable care. We present three examples of common topics in internal medicine, contextualized by the three equity domains of the HEIF. We additionally acknowledge the limitations of this framework as a research tool with complex features that may not be suitable for brief teaching in the clinical environment. We propose a 360-degree learner assessment to ensure implementation of this framework is successful. By encouraging trainees to explore the narrative experiences of their patients and examine their own implicit biases, the HEIF provides a structure to address gaps in knowledge about delivering equitable care.

Analysis of Water Consumption in the Context of Public Health and Economics: The Case of Ankara

This study aims to examine water consumption, which is the most basic necessity of people, within the framework of public health and economics. While water is an important economic research topic because it is the most important and most widely used economic good, it is also one of the most common medical research topics in the context of public health since it is consumed by all individuals of all societies. The use of packaged water in places where healthy tap water is inaccessible has positive effects on public health. On the other hand, the use of unnecessary packaged water is a very important public health problem in today's global world as it means more plastic waste. In our study, one of the most important variables affecting the consumption of packaged water, the parameter of trust in tap water, was analysed in Ankara by associating it with the concept of income level. As a result of the statistical analyses, it was determined that there was no statistical relationship between the income level with the use of packaged water and trust in tap water variables. In addition, it has been determined that there is a negative relationship between trust in tap water and packaging water usage variable. This result refuted the established claims that income level is the main determinant of water consumption preference.

Mother-daughter communication of sexual and reproductive health (SRH) matters and associated factors among sinhalese adolescent girls aged 14–19 years, in Sri Lanka

IntroductionSchool-based and community-based sexuality education has not shown a significant impact on the sexual and reproductive health (SRH) outcomes of Sri Lankan adolescents. Parents, as the primary educators of adolescents, could potentially serve as better sources for providing individualized sexuality education to their children.ObjectiveTo assess the sexual and reproductive health (SRH) topics discussed between mothers and daughters, barriers to communication, and associations of SRH communication among Sinhala adolescent girls aged 14–19 years in Sri Lanka.MethodsA descriptive cross-sectional study was conducted among a sample of 810 Sinhala adolescent girls using a pre-tested, self-administered questionnaire. Descriptive statistics pertaining to mother-daughter communication in SRH matters were presented using frequencies and percentages. Bivariate analysis was performed to evaluate the association of selected socio-demographic factors with mother-daughter SRH communication, while binary logistic analysis was used to assess the independent association of chosen demographic factors with mother-daughter SRH communication.ResultsThe majority of the respondents (67.1%, n = 540) indicated a willingness to discuss SRH matters with their mothers. For 78.2% (n = 632) of the respondents, the mother was the preferred source of SRH information. Common topics discussed between the mothers and daughters included issues related to menstruation (88.4%, n = 701) and maintaining personal boundaries (94%, n = 718), whereas less discussed topics included homosexuality (21%, n = 166), and preventing unwanted pregnancy (38.6%, n = 305). Cultural barriers, fear of mothers’ reactions, and mothers’ lack of confidence in responding to their daughter’s SRH matters were the main barriers to discussing SRH topics with mothers. Adolescent girls’ age, and family income level were significantly associated with mother-daughter SRH communication.Conclusions and recommendationsAlthough a majority of adolescent girls preferred to share their sexual health concerns with their mothers, a notable barrier was the lack of confidence from the mother’s side. Furthermore, the scope of mother-daughter sexual communication in this study was largely limited to less sensitive topics. In light of these findings, it is suggested that interventions targeted at parents be developed alongside school-based sex education for adolescents. These interventions should aim to enhance parents’ knowledge and skills in discussing sexual health matters with their adolescent children.

Karst study of Jinfo Mountain based on image analysis

The KDR (karst development rate) of rocks and their PCR(porosity of carbonate rocks) are common research topics in Jinfo Mountain. The use of traditional carbonate research methods (TCRMs) for karst studies has been shown to be costly and time-consuming. Therefore, this study attempted to find a new, reliable, low-cost, and time-saving method for karst research. The Jinfo Mountain area is a typical carbonate rock area that is suitable for karst research. In this study, many images of rock samples from the Jinfo Mountain were obtained using rock-polarizing microscopes, which provided a good basis for the karst study of Jinfo Mountain. Furthermore, in this study, image analysis technology was used to find the karst development rate of rocks and their porosity. To ensure the accuracy of these research results, we compared the research results obtained using the image analysis techniques with those obtained using TCRM. The comparison showed that the image analysis technology is a feasible research techniques for studying karst in the Jinfo Mountain area. Furthermore, it has good reference significance for other karst study outside the Jinfo Mountain area.

Research on Users’ Exercise Behaviors of Online Exercise Community Based on Social Capital Theory

Online exercise communities play an important role in their users’ self-health management. The willingness of users to interact and create user-generated content in online communities reflects the vitality of the online exercise community and the positive impact it has on offline users’ health performance. Therefore, based on social capital theory, we study the relationship between three types of social capital and users’ offline exercise behaviors and add off-topics in the community in the model. We select the KEEP health community user group as the research setting and conduct the regression analysis. The results show that owned centrality and reciprocity have a significant positive relationship with users’ exercise behaviors; accessed centrality and trust have a significant negative relationship with users’ exercise behaviors; and common topics and off-topics show a partly significant correlation. As a moderating variable, off-topics have a negative moderating effect on owned centrality and betweenness centrality, but a positive moderating effect on reciprocity and trust among group members. The results enrich and expand social capital theory, deepen the research on users’ exercise behaviors in the online exercise community, and provide a good reference for online exercise community management.

Impact of Student Pharmacist-Led Transition-of-Care Services on 30-Day Hospital Readmissions at a University Call Center.

Background: Transition of care (TOC) refers to the movement of patients between different health care settings due to changes in medical conditions and needs. Pharmacists can play an important role in TOC services as polypharmacy is a common reason for hospital readmission that costs the US taxpayers an average of $17 billion annually. Objective: The purpose of this study is to evaluate the impact of TOC telehealth services provided by pharmacy students at a university-based call center on 30-day hospital readmission. Methods: In this retrospective observational study, an electronic chart review was conducted for patients who were discharged from the hospital and received a telephone call from pharmacy students. Patients were referred to the pharmacy team from a primary care provider office. The co-primary endpoints were the number of 30-day all-cause hospital readmissions (including emergency department visits) and 30-day readmission due to initial admission diagnosis in patients who received a telephonic TOC call from a pharmacy student compared with patients who declined or were unable to be reached. Types of pharmacy-related TOC interventions provided by students were also collected. Results: A total of 84 patients were included in this study. All-cause 30-day readmission was similar between groups (13% vs 15.8%), whereas 30-day readmission due to initial admission diagnosis was much lower in the intervention group (5.9% vs 11.1%). Although a positive trend was observed in favor of the intervention group, a statistically significant difference was not observed for both 30-day all-cause readmission and 30-day readmission due to initial admission diagnosis. Medication reconciliation, adherence counseling, and lifestyle education (diet, exercise) are the most common topics discussed with the patients during TOC interventions. Conclusion: Using student pharmacists to provide postdischarge TOC calls can be a benefit to the patient and the health care team while offering pharmacy students valuable learning experience prior to graduation.

A Quality Improvement Project to Improve Hospital-to-Home Transitions Using Discharge Televisits.

Resident-led discharge "televisits" can improve the safety of hospital-to-home transitions by increasing completed follow-up and providing patients access to their inpatient providers to troubleshoot issues. This single-center quality improvement study was set in a pediatric unit within an academically affiliated public safety-net hospital. By August 2021, the aim was to use resident-led phone call televisits within 72 hours of discharge to increase completed follow-up from 67% to 85% among patients discharged from the general pediatric unit and compare this to patients scheduled for in person visits. Patients were preferentially scheduled for televisits based on investigator-defined criteria to maximize benefit (eg, prescribed new medications). The process measure was the proportion of televisit slots filled. The balancing measures were 7-day emergency department visits and readmissions. Topics addressed during televisits were categorized to qualitatively assess potential benefits. Three hundred and fifteen (44.5%) patients had televisits, 234 (33.1%) in person visits, and 159 (22.5%) unconfirmed follow-up. The available televisit appointments scheduled were 315 of 434 (72.5%). Completed follow-up was 88.3% for televisits and 63.3% for in person visits, compared with 67% during the baseline period. Completed follow-up was 4.4 (95% confidence interval 2.9 to 6.8) times more likely for televisits compared with in person visits after controlling for confounding variables. Common topics addressed during televisits were test results, medication issues, and appointment issues. Emergency department revisits and readmissions were similar between groups. Resident-led discharge televisits are an innovative way to increase completeness of discharge follow-up.

Assessment of Lung Cancer YouTube Videos for Patient Education.

The internet is essential for obtaining information about lung cancer, which is the leading contributor to global cancer deaths. YouTube is a video-streaming platform that is popular among health consumers; however, the reliability of videos is variable, and few studies have evaluated their role in lung cancer education. This study uses a systematic approach to assess the characteristics, reliability and use of best practices of lung cancer YouTube videos for patient education. Using the search term "lung cancer," the first 50 YouTube videos were identified after applying exclusion criteria and removing duplicates. Two reviewers used a video assessment tool to evaluate 10 videos with minimal discrepancies. The remaining 40 videos were evaluated by one reviewer following a design based research approach. Under half the videos were published within 3 years. Mean video length was 6 min and 12 s. Video publishers were commonly from the USA (70%); were affiliated with a health care facility/ organization (30%), non-profit (26%) or commercial organization (30%); had a physician presenter (46%); were targeted towards patients (68%); and had subtitles (96%). Seventy four percent of videos supported optimal learning by including effective audio and visual channels. Lung cancer epidemiology, risk factors, and definitions (nature of the disease and classification) were among the most common topics covered. Prognostic and diagnostic information was covered less than expected. The reliability of the videos (measured by Modified DISCERN score) varied by presenter type; however, these results should be interpreted cautiously due to the absence of gold standard tools. This study encourages those producing health education videos to continue following best practices for video learning and provides strategies for healthcare providers and patients to support patient education.

A Review of Topics and Trends across Five Decades of Coastal Management Journal

This paper provides an analysis of the topics covered by Coastal Management Journal (CMJ) over the course of its nearly five decades of publication. The analysis looks for trends and changes in the field of Coastal Management across topics and categories (groups of topics) that have been published by CMJ. It identifies geographical locations (at the state, national, regional and international levels) that have been mentioned by papers published in CMJ and identifies changes in geographical representation over time. The research was conducted using a mix of literature review techniques that helped identify emergent topics found within the titles and abstracts of CMJ papers. CMJ was founded within a year of the passage of the 1972 Coastal Zone Management Act. It has been a respected platform within the field of Coastal Management for five decades during which time the concept has been applied at the policy level within the United States and adopted into practice by many nations and intergovernmental organizations around the world. CMJ has also adapted its response to changing coastal management issues and the change in the needs of coastal management practitioners over the course of its publication history. Throughout its 47-year publication history CMJ has significantly increased its international representation and scope and has seen a number of changes in terms of topic representation. These include a substantial increase in the number of Climate Change and Sea Level Rise papers that it has published, as well as an increase in the number of papers it has published that focus on the importance of Marine Protected Areas. The most common topics published within the pages of CMJ are related to Policy, Planning, Protection and Economics, while the largest category of identified topics contains those that are related to Human Dimensions.

Applications of artificial intelligence in magnetic resonance imaging of primary pediatric cancers: a scoping review and CLAIM score assessment.

To review the uses of AI for magnetic resonance (MR) imaging assessment of primary pediatric cancer and identify common literature topics and knowledge gaps. To assess the adherence of the existing literature to the Checklist for Artificial Intelligence in Medical Imaging (CLAIM) guidelines. A scoping literature search using MEDLINE, EMBASE and Cochrane databases was performed, including studies of > 10 subjects with a mean age of < 21years. Relevant data were summarized into three categories based on AI application: detection, characterization, treatment and monitoring.Readers independently scored each study using CLAIM guidelines, and inter-rater reproducibility was assessed using intraclass correlation coefficients. Twenty-one studies were included. The most common AI application for pediatric cancer MR imaging was pediatric tumor diagnosis and detection (13/21 [62%] studies). The most commonly studied tumor was posterior fossa tumors (14 [67%] studies). Knowledge gaps included a lack of research in AI-driven tumor staging (0/21 [0%] studies), imaging genomics (1/21 [5%] studies), and tumor segmentation (2/21 [10%] studies). Adherence to CLAIM guidelines was moderate in primary studies, with an average (range) of 55% (34%-73%) CLAIM items reported. Adherence has improved over time based on publication year. The literature surrounding AI applications of MR imaging in pediatric cancers is limited. The existing literature shows moderate adherence to CLAIM guidelines, suggesting that better adherence is required for future studies.

Efectividad de un programa de educación sanitaria con empoderamiento de pacientes con epilepsia

AimsTo evaluate the effectiveness of an educational intervention with empowerment for patients with epilepsy in a Spanish reference hospital for epilepsy. MethodsA nonrandomized clinical trial was started in an epilepsy center. An empowerment group intervention program was conducted in which volunteers were recruited from outpatient clinics. It contained common topics in epilepsy health education, such as knowing your disease, types of seizures, treatment, how to act in the event of a seizure, seizure precipitating factors, lifestyle and medication management, as well as adapting to patients’ requests for information. The patients were empowered by applying their knowledge and skills, using the nurse as a facilitator. Questionnaires were administered before and after the intervention to assess anxiety and depression, quality of life, and satisfaction with care and attention to patients with epilepsy. Results33 patients completed the sessions and study. Satisfaction with the information improved significantly after the intervention (P<.005). The information items with significant improvements were satisfaction with information about epilepsy, treatment, provision of aid and treatment of the impact of epilepsy (P<.005). Satisfaction with communication decreased (P<.005), being the items with the most changes, the “time to answer the questions” and “consideration with their individual needs”. No significant changes were shown in depression and anxiety, quality of life and satisfaction with the organization. ConclusionsEmpowerment interventions demonstrated benefits to improve satisfaction with information in patients with epilepsy. The educational intervention designed allows sharing knowledge, solving problems and improving skills, empowering the patient in a new concept of education, which the nurse is a facilitator who collaborates with the demands of the patients. More studies are needed to increase the sample and demonstrate benefits in quality of life and anxiety and depression.

Mining and analysis of public sentiment during disaster events: The extreme rainstorm disaster in megacities of China in 2021

Cities are concentrated areas of population that are vulnerable to the impact of natural disasters. Owing to the impact of climate change and extreme weather incidents in recent years, many cities worldwide have been affected by sudden disasters, especially floods, causing many casualties. Social media plays an important role in the communication and sharing of information when physical communication is limited in emergency situations. However, obtaining and using public sentiment during major disasters to provide support for emergency disaster relief is a popular research topic. In the summer of 2021, China's inland plains experienced extremely serious rainstorms. The rainfall on July 20 in the capital city of Zhengzhou, Henan Province, the most population province in China, reached 201.9 mm/h, causing extremely serious consequences. This case study examines people's sentiment about this event through datamining of Chinese Weibo social media during the extreme rainfall period. The six most concerned types of public response topics and 14 subcategory topics were determined from 2,124,162 Weibo messages. “Asking for help” and “public sentiment” dominated the main topics, reaching almost 66%, with a relatively even distribution of secondary categories, but with “appeal for assistance” taking the top spot. Topics changed cyclically with work and rest, but these areas seemed to lag behind coastal areas in their responses to the storm in the same time. The topics were centred around Zhengzhou and distributed in China's major city clusters, such as the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei agglomerations, Yangtze River Delta, and Pearl River Delta regions. Community-level disaster relief information was also discovered, which showed that high building power outages, basement flooding, tunnel trapping, and drinking water shortages were common topics in specific inner urban regions. This detailed information will contribute to accurate location-based relief in the future. Based on this lesson, a series of measures for urban flood reduction are proposed, including disaster prevention awareness, infrastructure building, regulation mechanisms, social inclusivity, and media dissemination.

Bibliometric Perspective on Central Serous Chorioretinopathy: The Top 100 Most Citated Manuscripts

Purpose: To investigate 100 most cited manuscripts according to a bibliometric perspective via the Visualization of Similarities (VOS) viewer to learn about the trends of CSC in the past 20 years. Study Design: Bibliometric analysis. Place and Duration of Study: Sakarya University Training and Research Hospital, Turkey. Methods: The bibliometric database of the Web of Knowledge was used and keywords ‘central serous chorioretinopathy’ and ‘serous choroidopathy’ and ‘CSCR’ were entered into the search area. The retrieved manuscripts were arranged according to the number of total citations since publication to identify the 100 most-cited manuscripts. They were investigated for the total number of citations, type and name of the journal, year of publication, names of the first authors, country of origin, type of study, and main topic. The Visualization of Similarities (VOS) viewer was used to establish and visualize the bibliometric networks in this study. Results: The search retrieved 2069. Majority of the 100 most-cited manuscripts were published in the leading ophthalmology journals (96%). They were written by 477 authors. Spaide RF, Yannuzzi LA, and Eandi CM were the top three authors. The most frequently publishing country was USA (27%) and the most productive institutions were identified in USA and Holland. The most common topics were imaging (41%), such as optical coherence tomography (21%) and optical coherence tomography angiography (2%). Eleven of the 100 most-cited manuscripts were published in 2015. Conclusion: Bibliometric analysis showed that CSC is an important topic and the most cited manuscripts are published in leading ophthalmology journals.

Knowledge Retention From Emergency Medicine Simulation-Based Learning Curriculum for Pre-clinical Medical Students.

Introduction Traditional medical school curricula rely on textbook-based learning during the first two years, often limiting students' clinical exposure. Simulation-based learning (SBL) provides an opportunity for students to gain clinical exposure and competency with common procedures as well as to gain knowledge related to common clinical topics. Retention of factual knowledge is a current topic of discussion as medical learners often have difficulty with long-term retention. The aim of this study was to assess if students would learn, retain, and enjoy emergency medicine (EM)-focused SBL. Materials and methods We developed an EM-focused SBL curriculum consisting of four main educational events: suturing, medical stabilization, mass casualty triage, and point-of-care ultrasound (POCUS). Participants were first- and second-year healthcare students enrolled in a traditional, preclinical curriculum, who completed pre- and post-event quizzes consisting of multiple-choice questions on topics covered during the SBL scenario. We compared pre- and post-event quiz scores using a one-way paired t-test. Quizzes were readministered up to 100 days after each SBL event to test knowledge retention, and scores were compared across time by repeated-measures analysis of variance (RMANOVA). Results For suture (n=22), mass casualty (n=20), and ultrasound simulations (n=17), post-event mean quiz scores increased significantly in comparison to mean quiz scores from before the event (p≤0.05). Medical stabilization simulation post-event scores were increased but did not reach statistical significance. Data collected at 45, 74, and 94 days following the suture lab as well as 29 and 49 days after the medical evacuation event, and 20 days after the mass casualty event showed no statistical decrease in quiz means suggesting retention of knowledge amonglearners. Subjective assessments of participant satisfaction demonstrated an enjoyment of the events. Discussion EM-focused SBL events offered enjoyable learning opportunities for students to effectively obtain and possibly retain clinical knowledge. Conclusion SBL has the potential to improve student retention of clinical knowledge during the preclinical years and, therefore, should be further explored and implemented as a core pillar of medical education as opposed to its current state as a learning adjunct.

Cooperation between the Museum of Sloboda Ukraine and the Ethnology and Local History Section of the Kharkiv Research Department of the History of Ukrainian Culture (1920s)

The article investigates the collaboration, at personal, scientific, and public levels, between the Ethnology and Local History Section of the Kharkiv Research Department of the History of Ukrainian Culture and the Museum of Sloboda Ukraine throughout the 1920s. This period saw the development of Ukrainian science under challenging socio-political circumstances. Insufficient financial support, the restructuring of the education and science system, and later, the repression of scholars created an unstable scientific field. At the same time, the cooperation of scholars within ideological and thematic schools of thought intensified. The research determined that the joint activities of the staff of the Ethnology and Local History Section and the Museum of Sloboda Ukraine were based on common research topics, as well as the work of talented scholars, including M. Sumtsov, R. Dankivska, I. Yerofeyev, P. Kovalivskyi and others in full-time positions simultaneously in both institutions. In addition, the museum was considered one of the Department’s scientific and auxiliary institutions. The study found that personal connections within the Section and the Museum led to the formation of a professional circle of scholars who tackled theoretical and practical problems of ethnology and local history. The joint activities resulted in the development of ethnological research programmes used during search expeditions, as well as in the partial solution of the problem of promulgating the results of scientific work – the publication of scholars’ achievements in the Museum’s editions of and the Department’s collections. The department also trained a younger generation of scholars who engaged in professional activities in the museum industry. Joint efforts of staff of the Department and the Museum were instrumental in carrying out successful cultural and educational work. From 1925 to 1927, a series of lectures on the history and culture of Ukraine was organized. As a result of mutual assistance, the Ethnological and Local History Section of the Kharkiv Research Department of the History of Ukrainian Culture and the Museum of Sloboda Ukraine became centres of ethnological and local history studies in 1920s Kharkivshchyna.

Wildfires and Older Adults: A Scoping Review of Impacts, Risks, and Interventions.

Climate change is leading to worsening disasters that disproportionately impact older adults. While research has begun to measure disparities, there is a gap in examining wildfire-specific disasters. To address this gap, this scoping review analyzed literature to explore the nexus of wildfires and older adults. We searched peer-reviewed literature using the following inclusion criteria: (1) published in a peer-reviewed journal; (2) available in English; (3) examines at least one topic related to wildfires; and (4) examines how criterion three relates to older adults in at least one way. Authors screened 261 titles and abstracts and 138 were reviewed in full, with 75 articles meeting inclusion criteria. Findings heavily focused on health impacts of wildfires on older adults, particularly of smoke exposure and air quality. While many articles mentioned a need for community-engaged responses that incorporate the needs of older adults, few addressed firsthand experiences of older adults. Other common topics included problems with evacuation, general health impacts, and Indigenous elders' fire knowledge. Further research is needed at the nexus of wildfires and older adults to highlight both vulnerabilities and needs as well as the unique experience and knowledge of older adults to inform wildfire response strategies and tactics.
