Utilization and Satisfaction of Community-based Health Care Services among Older Adults

The COVID-19 pandemic has a significant impact on the capacity of health systems to continue to provide critical services. As healthcare systems around the world face a growing demand for care for patients with COVID-19, it is vital to maintain preventive and curative services, especially for the most vulnerable populations, the elderly and the elderly living with chronic diseases. The purpose of this study was to determine the level of health service utilization and satisfaction of older adults amidst COVID-19 pandemic. The study used a descriptive- correlational research design that was conducted in a selected barangay in the city of Caloocan. The purposive and snowball sampling method was used to select respondents and must meet the following criteria: elderly between the ages of 60 and 74, and using health care services. The data collection was carried out through a series of questionnaires with an informed consent form through online platforms. Based from the data gathered, the strength of the relationship is indicated by the correlation coefficient with a score of. 795, which is greater than 0.70 shows a high correlation between the two variables. This means that when the level of utilization of community-based services of the respondent is high, their level of satisfaction with health care services increases as well. Overall, it is important to prioritize the level of utilization and satisfaction in community-based healthcare among older adults as it is used as an indicator for measuring the quality of healthcare. The level of utilization among older adults is inclined to their level of satisfaction, in which respondents are highly satisfied with their usage of services in terms of accessibility, availability and affordability of the community-based services. Moreover, demographic profile of respondents has no significant difference, which indicates that respondent’s level of satisfaction in community-based services is affected by their level of utilization of services in their barangay health center. Health services, if used by the elderly, can lead to satisfaction. Therefore, the promotion of the various health services is strongly encouraged to reach not only a few, but the whole population.

Predicting vaccine hesitancy among parents towards COVID-19 vaccination for their children in Singapore.

BackgroundThere was a considerably slower uptake among children despite the high COVID-19 vaccination uptake amongst adults and adolescents in Singapore. This was concerning as unvaccinated children are at risk of severe COVID-19 infections and a source and reservoir of infections. We sought to understand the impact of social media on parental vaccine hesitancy and to determine the risk factors associated with vaccine hesitancy.MethodsAn electronic survey conducted from November 2021 to March 2022. Data on the demographic profiles of respondents and to classify them based on their vaccine hesitancy status. Data including the choice of social media used to obtain information on the COVID-19 pandemic, frequency of use were collected. Statistical significance was defined as p < 0.05.ResultsSix hundred and twenty-eight parents participated. 66.9% of parents were not vaccine hesitant. About a third (27.2%) considered themselves somewhat vaccine hesitant. Fathers were more vaccine hesitant than mothers. Vaccine hesitancy was also associated with having a lower household income, unvaccinated parents, knowing someone with an adverse reaction to the Covid 19 vaccine and having a low level of trust in their child's doctor. There was no significant difference with high usage of social media between parents who were not vaccine hesitant vs. those who were vaccine hesitant. Despite high usage of social media, about two thirds (62.7%) of parents preferred print material to obtain COVID-19 related information. Parental trust in their child's doctor was the most significant factor in determining vaccine hesitancy amongst parents. When the variables of gender, household income status, vaccine status were further analysed with a multinomial logistic regression model, vaccine hesitancy in a parent could be predicted with a 70% accuracy, and non-vaccine hesitancy with a 92.4% accuracy.ConclusionNewspapers and print media were the primary sources used in obtaining information on COVID-19 vaccine safety and efficacy, especially amongst parents with a higher household income. Healthcare providers should continue to establish rapport amongst parents, in particular the group with a lower household income to encourage higher paediatric COVID-19 vaccine uptake as well as correct COVID-19 related vaccine misconceptions or vaccine hesitancy, if present.

Understanding Age Differences in Technophobia: A South African Case Study

Over the years, technology has become an essential part of our lives, with technological advancement presenting on-going opportunities. However, technology creates negative emotions, anxiety and fear among some people due to an established set of norms and individual behaviour patterns. Such fear, anxiety and apprehension has been described as technophobia, which constrains individuals’ ability to use technology and thus puts them at a disadvantage. The continuous emergence of new technologies has given rise to increased technophobia, which is now believed to affect a third of every population. This article examines age differences in the level of technophobia as well as the personal characteristics that positively influence it. A quantitative methodology was employed, and 384 questionnaires were distributed to participants in Pietermaritzburg, KwaZulu-Natal, South Africa. The findings show that technophobia occurs within all age groups (the young, middle-aged and older). However, young adults with no formal education and employment demonstrated lower levels of technophobia than other age groups. The results also demonstrate a significant relationship between levels of technophobia and the demographic profile of respondents. The article concludes with a discussion on strategies to manage technophobia.

Attitudes towards Participation in a Passive Data Collection Experiment.

In this paper, we present the results of an exploratory study conducted in Hungary using a factorial design-based online survey to explore the willingness to participate in a future research project based on active and passive data collection via smartphones. Recently, the improvement of smart devices has enabled the collection of behavioural data on a previously unimaginable scale. However, the willingness to share this data is a key issue for the social sciences and often proves to be the biggest obstacle to conducting research. In this paper we use vignettes to test different (hypothetical) study settings that involve sensor data collection but differ in the organizer of the research, the purpose of the study and the type of collected data, the duration of data sharing, the number of incentives and the ability to suspend and review the collection of data. Besides the demographic profile of respondents, we also include behavioural and attitudinal variables to the models. Our results show that the content and context of the data collection significantly changes people’s willingness to participate, however their basic demographic characteristics (apart from age) and general level of trust seem to have no significant effect. This study is a first step in a larger project that involves the development of a complex smartphone-based research tool for hybrid (active and passive) data collection. The results presented in this paper help improve our experimental design to encourage participation by minimizing data sharing concerns and maximizing user participation and motivation.

An Exploratory Study of the Gastronomic Use of Edible Flowers in Restaurant Menus: Basis for a Marketing Framework

Edible flowers have recorded several uses in local and international cuisines. The presence of these beautifully tasty and fragrant ingredients on restaurant menus becomes more common. In the Philippines, there was an evident research gap on the visibility and lack of available references or reviews affecting awareness on the gastronomic use of the edible flowers in the context of restaurant contemporary menus and cuisines. This exploratory study aimed to gather helpful details and information that can be useful in creating a strategic restaurant marketing framework. Data covered the evaluation and analysis of the marketing factors influencing consumers’ behavior and the customers’ actual experiences shared in the survey forming the primary data, including the inputs and knowledge shared by the restaurant experts and owners.Furthermore, results of the study showed significant relationships between demographic profiles of respondents with the marketing factors influencing consumers, behavior and customers’ experiences. There were also significant correlations, of different degrees, between the marketing factors influencing consumers’ behavior and the customers’ experiences. The definition of the relationships further resulted to the establishment of a restaurant marketing framework, wherein utilization of the strategic components was strongly recommended to sustain and promote edible flowers in the Philippine restaurant menus

An internet-mediated investigation into the reported clinical use of rubber dam isolation by GDPs in the UK - part 1: factors influencing rubber dam use.

Aims To investigate the reported use of rubber dam isolation by UK general dental practitioners (GDPs), utilising an internet-mediated (SurveyMonkey) questionnaire reporting the demographic profile of respondents and the attitudes and factors influencing rubber dam use.Methods A piloted questionnaire was distributed to a random sample of GDPs in a private Facebook group, investigating respondent demographics, clinical applications, and attitudes towards and factors influencing rubber dam use. The data were analysed using descriptive statistics along with chi-squared and pairwise Mann-Whitney U tests.Results The response rate was 61%, with 403 valid completed questionnaires. Of these, 218 (54%) were female and 185 (46%) were male, with an age range of 23-72 years. Most of them (248; 62%) worked in mixed practices. The majority agreed that rubber dam aids placement of posterior restorations (311; 78%), provides clearer access (308; 76%), enables a higher clinical standard (355; 89%) and increases restoration longevity (257; 65%). Most agreed that proper isolation for root canal/operative procedures cannot be achieved without rubber dam use (329; 82%). Respondents disagreed with the following statements: root canal therapy completed without rubber dam isolation is as successful as those completed using rubber dam (338; 85%), rubber dam is difficult to apply (292; 73%) and rubber dam is disliked by patients (257; 64%). Respondents agreed that rubber dam use is influenced by clinical setting (259; 64%), procedure (390; 97%), choice of material being placed (382; 95%) and ease of application (337; 84%). Furthermore, 218 (54%) of the respondents expressed an interest in further training in rubber dam use.Conclusions This study provides greater insight into the attitudes and factors influencing rubber dam use, while demonstrating an interest in further training.

Pre-test Assessment of SOSA Bottle Intervention’s Effectivity to Reduce Tuberculosis Spreading in Prisons

BACKGROUND: Tuberculosis (TB) is still a health problem in the world, especially in Indonesia, TB still causes serious transmission, including in prison. The Sorimuda-Syarifah (SOSA) bottle, a bottle containing lysol, has been tested in the community and has given satisfactory results. Prison inmates and TB patients in prison urgently need better treatment in an effort to prevent the spread of TB and support its treatment.&#x0D; AIM: This paper is the result of the pre-test, to assess the demographic profile and behavior of the respondents, before giving SOSA bottles.&#x0D; METHODS: The study was conducted using a questionnaire and was carried out on 27 prisoners in two separate locations in North Sumatra.&#x0D; RESULTS: The demographic profiles of respondents were not much different, both in the intervention group and in the non-intervention group. After statistical tests were carried out, only knowledge was statistically significant. There are still a lot of knowledge, attitudes, and practice of respondents that support the spread of TB in prison.&#x0D; CONCLUSION: The pre-test results indicate the need to implement the SOSA bottle in prisons.

Juan Tama, Mother Tongue-Based Multilingual Education (MTB-MLE) Storybooks: Their Effectiveness on Pupils’ Learning

This study analyzed the effectiveness on pupils’ learning of Mother Tongue-Based Multilingual Education (MTB-MLE) Storybooks. The use of Cebuano, Minasbate, and Filipino versions, entitled “JUAN TAMA”, for Grade 1 pupils of School A in Claveria South District and School B in Cawayan East District, Division of Masbate for SY 2012-2013 were evaluated. Each school covered 20 Grade 1 Pupils (Social Group A) and another 20 Grade 1 Pupils (Social Group B). The demographic profile of respondents in terms of language they used at home and school, showed that majority used Minasbate dialect in School A while Cebuano in School B. The average achievement rating of Grade 1 pupils in Social Group A was 62.18% while Social Group B obtained 81.76%. The use of mother tongue in the teaching story “Juan Tama” appears to have significantly affected the academic achievement level of Social Group B when compared to Social Group A. This demonstrates that pupils develop literary appreciation, literacy, cognitive skills and master content material more easily when they are taught in a familiar language. Teachers teaching in the mother tongue using Juan Tama storybooks perceived this medium of instruction as effective. Their suggestions included: increasing information dissemination on importance of mother tongue-based instruction; recognition of mother tongue acquisition as first priority in judging children’s achievement; training teachers in creating storybooks; and provision of instructional materials and references in MTB-MLE.&#x0D; Keywords: Mother Tongue Based-Multilingual Education, Storybooks, Pupils Learning

The feasibility of web surveys for obtaining patient-reported outcomes from cancer survivors: a randomized experiment comparing survey modes and brochure enclosures

BackgroundCentral cancer registries are often used to survey population-based samples of cancer survivors. These surveys are typically administered via paper or telephone. In most populations, web surveys obtain much lower response rates than paper surveys. This study assessed the feasibility of web surveys for collecting patient-reported outcomes via a central cancer registry.MethodsPotential participants were sampled from Utah Cancer Registry records. Sample members were randomly assigned to receive a web or paper survey, and then randomized to either receive or not receive an informative brochure describing the cancer registry. We calculated adjusted risk ratios with 95% confidence intervals to compare response likelihood and the demographic profile of respondents across study arms.ResultsThe web survey response rate (43.2%) was lower than the paper survey (50.4%), but this difference was not statistically significant (adjusted risk ratio = 0.88, 95% confidence interval = 0.72, 1.07). The brochure also did not significantly influence the proportion responding (adjusted risk ratio = 1.03, 95% confidence interval = 0.85, 1.25). There were few differences in the demographic profiles of respondents across the survey modes. Older age increased likelihood of response to a paper questionnaire but not a web questionnaire.ConclusionsWeb surveys of cancer survivors are feasible without significantly influencing response rates, but providing a paper response option may be advisable particularly when surveying older individuals. Further examination of the varying effects of brochure enclosures across different survey modes is warranted.

Insight towards Adoption of International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) in India

This study aims at understanding the perception towards adoption of International, Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) in India. For the purpose, the Hofstede dimensions on perception is reviewed. The globalization creates an increased need for communication in the terms of language, awareness of culture differences and domestic customs. Moreover, the financial communication such as accounting and financial results is just as important for business leaders and employees to master. Hence Proponents of International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) claim that mandating a uniform set of accounting standards improves financial statement comparability that in turn attracts greater cross-border investment. Ministry of Corporate Affairs (MCA) has decided to go for full convergence of IFRS by 2018 through IND AS. Using Hofstede dimensions along with economic growth, demographic profile of respondents, economic openness and relative capital market size the logit regressions are analyzed. Structural Equation Modelling (SEM) is applied to test the confirmation factor analysis (CFA), accordingly path diagram is drawn. The primary data was collected with well structed questionnaire from auditors, accounting professionals working in companies and academicians Drop-off survey was conducted and the targeted sample size is 400 across India. The results indicate that as India is developing country, the financial structure is more likely to adopt IFRS. The Hofstede dimensions do have a significant impact as an exploratory variable, suggesting that Indian financial system do need to be more optimistic in adopting these standards to meet the global requirements of the stakeholders.
