Doping Prevention in Sport: Overview of Anti-Doping Education Programmes

Background. As doping can damage the sports industry, it is fundamental for athletes to engage in the anti-doping education programs and understand the anti-doping rules. The purpose of this article was to provide an overview of research focusing on anti-doping education.Methods. Scientific research analysis was done by focusing on doping prevention and education programs.Results. Anti-doping education should focus on young athletes, involve family members, friends and coaches. In relation with anti-doping programs which concentrated on health education and informative knowledge, moral and ethical behaviour based anti-doping education was believed to be more effective in actual doping behaviour of athletes. Since coaches could be potentially influencing athletes’ doping behaviour, there should be a collaboration of sports organizations and policy makers in order to help coaches operate within anti-doping rules by creating certain doping prevention programs.Conclusions. Research studies which examine athletes’ belief system and provoke critical thinking in athletes about using banned substances in sport might be more effective in preventing doping than programs focusing only on health education. Keywords: anti-doping, doping, education, prohibited substances.

Assessing the Knowledge, Attitudes, and Practices Regarding Sexually Transmitted Infections Among College Students in a Rural Midwest Setting.

The objective of this research was to assess that knowledge, attitudes, and practices regarding sexual heath among rural college students in Nebraska. We administered an electronic survey (n = 125) that was adapted from the YRBSS and National College Health Assessment to compare results to national estimates. Results show condom use was below the national average (38.4% vs. 54.1%) during last time of having sexual intercourse. Only half (51%) of rural college students had received the HPV vaccine, and significantly less among males (18%) compared to females (60%). 37% of participants strongly agreed/agreed they felt their parents would find out if they had an STI screening, and even more felt their social group would find out (42%). Nearly all (92%) of the participants strongly agreed/agreed that they would tell their partner if they noticed that they had symptoms of an STI; although, over half (60%) of the participants strongly agreed/agreed that they thought they could tell if there was a change in their body indicating after contracting a STI, 33% did not know that STIs can have no symptoms, and over half (52%) almost never/never get STI screening when they had new partners. There was a significant positive association between with highest level of sexual health education and composite knowledge scores. The results show that sexual health among rural college students is an important, but understudied, health disparity. Online and college-oriented interventions could be used to help bridge the gap of sexual health education in states that do not mandate sexual health education, like Nebraska.

The Main Curricular Characteristics of the Health Education Programs and Interventions from the Romanian Primary School Educational System

High School Student’s Knowledge, Attitude and Participation in Sexual Health Education in Rural Northern Ghana

Background: In Ghana, sex education has been a part of the post-independence school curriculum, aimed to fill a significant knowledge gap, prepare them to make healthy sexual choices. However, sex education is not apparent in the schools. We aimed to understand senior high school adolescents’ knowledge, perspectives on contraceptive use, and attitude towards sexual health education in the Upper East Region of Ghana. Methods: This was a descriptive study involving 329 students (from 15 - 19) comprising males (n = 166, 50.5%) and females (n = 163, 49.5%) from a senior high school in the Upper East Region of Ghana. Eighteen-point Likert scale items with four-point responses—strongly agree, agree, disagree, and strongly disagree—were used to measure students’ perspectives in the Upper East Region, Ghana. Results: The results show that most students (n = 150, 45.6%) strongly disagreed with reporting first developmental changes to parents and teachers. For students who agree (n = 101, 30.7%), more males than females (55.4% versus 44.6%) favoured the recommendation. About 42% strongly disagreed with seeking professional counsel on contraceptive use, with more (52.6%) females in support of non-use of the advice of health personnel. Similarly, most respondents sought information on sex education from peers and were more comfortable associating and sharing adolescent experiences than with parents and teachers. Conclusion: There is inadequate knowledge of the adolescent youth on sexual health issues. Therefore, we recommend that qualitative studies be conducted to understand the students’ views on sexual and reproductive health knowledge and access to services.

Patient Characteristics Associated with Non-Adherence to Tuberculosis Treatment: A Systematic Review

Background: A high level of adherence to treatment is essential for cure and prevention of tuberculosis (TB) treatment resistance. Methods: A Systematic review of 53 studies addressing the patient characteristics associated with TB medication non-adherence was performed. The publications were identified by searching the PubMed, World Health Organization (WHO), and Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) database, EmBase, Scopus database Arts, Humanities, Social Science database and Google scholar. Only English language publications were eligible. Potentially eligible studies were retrieved and the full articles were assessed. The potentially eligible studies were included if they concerned patients treated for tuberculosis, reported non adherence and reported on potential risk factors associated with non-adherence. Results: Factors that were most frequently consistently and statistically significantly related to non-adherence to tuberculosis treatment were: family income, patient movement and changing address or giving wrong address, tuberculosis relapse or multidrug-resistant TB (MDRTB), during intensive phase of treatment, history of default, treatment regimen (long course), response to treatment, homeless, stigma, seeking traditional healers, staff receptiveness, lack of directly observed therapy short course (DOTS), poor knowledge or lack of health education, side effects of drugs, feeling better, alcohol intake and lack of family and social support.

Narratives on educational processes in health.

The scope of this study was to analyze the narratives of health professionals about their experiences on courses aimed at the development of knowledge and practices in health education. Two analytical categories formed the basis of this study: experience and temporality. In the analysis, narratives constructed based upon the educational experiences of health professionals in postgraduate courses were used, in order to give substance to their reflections in relation to given learning trajectories. These courses are based on articulated activities that simulate practices and performances in realistic scenarios. In analytical terms, the focus is on the structural components of the narrative (contexts, scenarios, storylines and actors), as well as the articulation between these components and the theoretical principles of the study. Among the results obtained, the highlight is on the active methodologies that are the central players in the storylines, thereby providing an opportunity to consider health training in a way that is different from traditional approaches. Among other aspects, the conclusion reached is that these narratives provide new possibilities such that, in addition to the cognitive domain and theoretical understanding, this practice may be valued and exploited as a historical and social construction based on both words and actions.

Quality assurance of test blueprinting.

Tests offer scores that measure student learning and programs outcomes. Valid examinations are needed to accurately reflect scores related to dimensions of knowledge, analysis and different competencies in health education. The primary step in the process of exam development should be the construction of a test blueprint. The degree of alignment of a test with its blueprint is a critical element of content validity. However, the availability of a published blueprint does not ensure that instructors adhere to it when developing their tests. This article aims to present a tool for quantitative determination of the degree of consistency between the actual test and the developed blueprint. Ensuring the quality of the test blueprinting process, through objective verification of alignment of the test with the test blueprint, increases the extent of content validity of students' assessments.
