Based on CMM Theory, the Influence of the Use of Group Fitness APP on Their Exercise Knowledge and Exercise Willingness is Discussed

With the improvement of health awareness, the fitness APP has been widely used among college students. This paper aims to explore the influence of college students using fitness APP on exercise knowledge mastery and exercise willingness based on the CMM (Communication Modality Model) theory. Through the analysis of the development status of fitness APP and the current situation of the use of college students, and the data collected by questionnaires and other methods, the association of the acquisition of exercise knowledge and the stimulation of exercise willingness was analyzed. The study found that the use of fitness APP has a significant impact on the improvement of college students' exercise knowledge, and the exercise knowledge positively affects the willingness to exercise. Meanwhile, interpersonal communication plays a mediating role in the impact of fitness APP use on exercise knowledge. According to the research results, suggestions are put forward for college students and fitness APP developers.

Assessing the self-efficacy of village clerks for dealing with disasters triggered by natural hazards and public health emergencies in Taiwan

Village clerks are responsible for providing first aid at the community level during natural hazards and public health emergencies such as the COVID-19 pandemic. However, it is very challenging for a village clerk to fully understand the requirements related to disaster preparedness, response and recovery that must be dealt with in both problems. In this study, an evaluation framework was developed to assess and compare the self-efficacy of village clerks in managing disasters triggered by natural hazards and public health emergencies in Taiwan. A survey was conducted with 181 participants with different personal backgrounds and a diversity of experiences with disasters. Compared with public health emergencies, village clerks exhibited more eagerness for knowledge as well as a higher degree of comprehension and confidence in carrying out their duties in the face of natural hazards. A correlation analysis showed that age, years of service, vocational education, and experience were significant to the village clerks' self-efficacy, but the significance levels varied with the type of disaster. A regression analysis further revealed that undergoing adequate vocational training was the key factor behind the village clerks’ better self-efficacy at dealing with disasters triggered by natural hazards. Based on this finding, we recommend that on-the-job training for dealing with public health emergencies should be as diversified as it is in the case of natural hazards. For village clerks, the exchange of experience and logistics will be beneficial in order to reduce the gap in managing disasters triggered by natural hazards and public health emergencies.

Analyzing the Relationship between Cultural Identity and Health Professional Perspectives

Having a systematicseize of cultural diversity is necessary for health professionals to present culturally competent treatment, enhance patient satisfaction and recover healthcare outcomes. To better recognize how cultural identity (CI) affects the attitudes, communication preferences and decision-making processes of health professionals, this research looks at how cultural competency is integrated into healthcare education and strategy.This study examines the influence of CI on the perspectives and practices of health professionals and its impact on patient care. People's behaviors and self-perceptions are greatly influenced by their concept of culture, which is defined by shared norms, language, and ethical principles. This research includes 281 health professionals from diverse contexts utilizing the Cultural Competence Assessment Questionnaire (CCAQ). Interpersonal relationships, professional development, communication skills, cultural sensitivity, competence and patient-centered care are all significantly correlated, according to the data. This finding suggests that for improved patient relationship and liberty of health, there should be specialized cultural competency training. Implications for practice: promote continued professional development about cultural sensitivity in health events, and conferences. This article also puts forward the use of CI as one method to guide and support the approach of health professionals and capture the attention of communications and cultural competencies to help develop patient results.

Health information sharing – conceptual clarification and exploratory analysis in the context of mammography screening

Introduction. Information sharing is an important but under researched type of health information behaviour. In this study, we explore the characteristics of sharing behaviours, their reasons and determinants in the context of mammography screening. Method. We conducted a two-wave online survey with N = 1,136 women. In the first wave, women saw an invitation letter to mammography screening and behavioural determinants were captured with established scales. In the second wave, women reported on their information behaviour between the two waves, combining standardized and open-ended questions. Analysis. We performed qualitative content analysis and a stepwise logistic regression analysis. Results. About one-fifth of the sample shared information on mammography between the two survey waves. Qualitative results revealed different causes and purposes of information sharing. Quantitative results showed that issue importance, opinion leadership and different types of information retrieval were related to information sharing. Conclusions. The results shed light on two facets for the conceptual clarification of health information sharing: sharing in the sense of selecting and passing on information (cf. diffusion of information by opinion leaders) and sharing as the mutual exchange of opinions and experiences. Both facets should be considered to comprehensively examine health information sharing behaviours and their relation with informed decision-making.

Ethical Considerations and Challenges in the Integration of Artificial Intelligence in Education: A Systematic Review

This systematic review examines those challenges in light of data privacy, algorithmic bias, ethical implications, technological hurdles, and acceptance of AI by educators and students. First, data privacy should be a primary concern, as AI systems require extensive data, bringing up the potential for breach and misuse. Secondly, there must be a robust mechanism concerning data protection and against the application of GDPR. Another critical point is algorithm bias: biased training data sets may lead to discriminative decisions that will increase inequalities in education. It talks about AI's impact on teachers and classroom dynamics because the takeover of responsibilities may lower the intensity of necessary human contact. From a technical perspective, there is so much infrastructure and expertise required that too many educational institutions lack, especially in developing countries. In addition, educators themselves may feel that the change resists and fears job loss and therefore acts as a deterrent to AI integration. The review underscores the imperative for extensive training of teachers to support enabling the integration of AI. It now demands a collaborative effort on the part of all stakeholders to maximize the gains and reduce the drawbacks of AI in educational aspects. Continuous research in, policy-making for, and ethical guidelines on AI are required to benefit all aspects of education equitably and effectively.

Barriers and Facilitators to Pediatric Oncology Social Work Practice: A Qualitative Study

Background: Childhood cancer is significant due to its high prevalence and its impact on the entire family, resulting in various psychological, social, economic, and communication challenges for the families. Objectives: The aim of this study was to explore the barriers and facilitators to pediatric oncology social work practices in Iran. Methods: This qualitative study used a content analysis method and involved 19 pediatric oncology social workers. We used a purposeful sampling method until data saturation was reached. Data were collected through semi-structured interviews and field observations and then analyzed. Results: This study demonstrated that the factors influencing social workers' practice include personal characteristics and interpersonal communication at the micro level, while barriers mainly consist of cultural, social, economic, organizational, and structural dimensions at the macro level. Conclusions: In order to better support children with cancer and their families, policymakers and health system managers need to give special attention to the status of social workers. Strengthening support systems and addressing the challenges they face can be effective in protecting the professional practices of these caregivers.

Empirical Study on the Relationship between Leader–Member Exchange, Employee Trust, and Team Knowledge Sharing

Knowledge sharing is influenced not only by the attributes of the knowledge itself and the hierarchical differences among knowledge holders but also by micro-level factors such as interpersonal communication and psychological dynamics. As the demands of the new economic environment evolve, the role of knowledge sharing among team members in knowledge management has become increasingly critical. A growing body of research emphasizes the importance of sharing knowledge resources as a means of gaining strategic advantages in enterprises. Previous studies have shown that leadership behavior plays a crucial role in fostering knowledge sharing among team members. However, there is limited research on the specific pathways and mechanisms through which leadership behavior influences knowledge sharing. Additionally, existing research lacks a comprehensive examination of the structure and measurement methods of leader–member exchange (LMX), as well as its impact on employee work outcomes. This study addresses this gap by examining trust relationships through the lenses of social identity and emotional interaction, with trust serving as a mediating variable to explore the impact of leader–subordinate interactions on knowledge sharing behavior. Drawing on the relevant literature, the study focuses on 358 employees, investigating the relationship between LMX as the independent variable, team knowledge sharing as the dependent variable, and employee trust as the mediating factor. The research findings are as follows: (1) The quality of the LMX relationship significantly influences employees’ team knowledge sharing; higher-quality LMX relationships are associated with increased knowledge sharing among subordinates. (2) Employee trust in both leaders and colleagues has a substantial impact on team knowledge sharing, with higher levels of trust positively affecting knowledge sharing behaviors. (3) Employee trust serves as a mediating factor in the relationship between LMX and team knowledge sharing. This study delves into the dynamics between LMX, team knowledge sharing, and trust, providing practical recommendations for strengthening these relationships.

Влияние цифровых технологий на бытие и становление новых форм коммуникации (селфи)

The research aims to determine the impact of digital technologies on the development of new forms of communication (including selfies) that respond to the needs of the modern individual. The article provides a theoretical reflection on the features of the development of information and communication technologies and their impact on meeting the communication needs of society. The negative consequences of screen-based and virtual communication are highlighted, and it is noted that digital technologies contribute to the development of a special form of communication aimed at presenting oneself to others through the posting of one’s photographs online. The scientific novelty of the work lies in identifying the ontological-social significance of the influence of digital technologies on the communicative component of modern society from the perspective of the gadget-defining component, where the electronic device acts as an intermediary, dictating new rules of behavior and methods of communication interaction. The article examines forms of interpersonal communication and communicative behavior strategies caused by the development of digital technologies, identifies the negative consequences of screen-based and visual communication, and offers ideas for overcoming them. As a result of the study, the authors concluded that selfies, as a special way of self-presentation and conveying information about oneself to others, are an important element of communication for the modern individual. This type of communication is determined by the development of digital technologies and is available to everyone, as it is not limited by national-cultural and language barriers. Selfies are a visualized text that does not require special erudition to understand, which explains both the positive and negative sides of this phenomenon. The authors believe that selfies will not lose their relevance in the future, therefore, considering them from the perspective of an integral and inevitable communicative component of modern existence will open up new horizons in the study of man and society, and also help minimize the negative consequences of using this type of information transmission.

Lyme Disease Under-Ascertainment During the COVID-19 Pandemic in the United States: Retrospective Study.

The COVID-19 pandemic resulted in a massive disruption in access to care and thus passive, hospital- and clinic-based surveillance programs. In 2020, the reported cases of Lyme disease were the lowest both across the United States and North Carolina in recent years. During this period, human contact patterns began to shift with higher rates of greenspace utilization and outdoor activities, putting more people into contact with potential vectors and associated vector-borne diseases. Lyme disease reporting relies on passive surveillance systems, which were likely disrupted by changes in health care-seeking behavior during the pandemic. This study aimed to quantify the likely under-ascertainment of cases of Lyme disease during the COVID-19 pandemic in the United States and North Carolina. We fitted publicly available, reported Lyme disease cases for both the United States and North Carolina prior to the year 2020 to predict the number of anticipated Lyme disease cases in the absence of the pandemic using a Bayesian modeling approach. We then compared the ratio of reported cases divided by the predicted cases to quantify the number of likely under-ascertained cases. We then fitted geospatial models to further quantify the spatial distribution of the likely under-ascertained cases and characterize spatial dynamics at local scales. Reported cases of Lyme Disease were lower in 2020 in both the United States and North Carolina than prior years. Our findings suggest that roughly 14,200 cases may have gone undetected given historical trends prior to the pandemic. Furthermore, we estimate that only 40% to 80% of Lyme diseases cases were detected in North Carolina between August 2020 and February 2021, the peak months of the COVID-19 pandemic in both the United States and North Carolina, with prior ascertainment rates returning to normal levels after this period. Our models suggest both strong temporal effects with higher numbers of cases reported in the summer months as well as strong geographic effects. Ascertainment rates of Lyme disease were highly variable during the pandemic period both at national and subnational scales. Our findings suggest that there may have been a substantial number of unreported Lyme disease cases despite an apparent increase in greenspace utilization. The use of counterfactual modeling using spatial and historical trends can provide insight into the likely numbers of missed cases. Variable ascertainment of cases has implications for passive surveillance programs, especially in the trending of disease morbidity and outbreak detection, suggesting that other methods may be appropriate for outbreak detection during disturbances to these passive surveillance systems.

The direct effects of media exposure on behaviors aimed at preventing COVID-19 and its indirect effects as mediated by interpersonal communication: a longitudinal study in Japan.

We aimed to examine the direct effects of exposure to media information about infection-preventing behavior and its indirect effects via interpersonal communication at two time points during the pandemic. In August 2020 and August 2021, a web-based survey of Japanese people under a declared state of emergency was conducted. We collected sociodemographic data and data on seven types of exposure to media information, three types of exposure to interpersonal communication, and six types of infection-preventing behavior. A total of 784 participants completed both surveys. Exposure to information in the mass media decreased over the year, while interpersonal communication about COVID-19-related topics increased. The direct effect of exposure to information in the media about preventive behaviors was statistically significant in the pandemic's early stages, but this was no longer true after 1 year. The indirect effect via interpersonal communication was statistically significant at both time points. Our results suggest that the influence of media information on infection-preventing behavior during the pandemic was maintained over time as an indirect effect via interpersonal communication. For risk communication media strategies during pandemics, adopting strategies to generate interpersonal communication will have a sustained effect on preventive behavior.

A Patient and Public Engagement Project to Inform Dementia Care in a UK Hospital Trust.

The increasing prevalence of dementia in the United Kingdom presents significant challenges for healthcare, with projections estimating over a million affected individuals by 2025, costing the NHS £6.3 billion annually. Hospital admissions among dementia patients are common, occupying about 25% of UK hospital beds and leading to prolonged stays and diminished health outcomes. This paper presents the opening stages, part of a larger project where Patient and Public Involvement and Engagement (PPIE) was employed to understand and navigate what it means for hospital care for a person living with dementia. To understand hospital care for dementia patients, focus groups were conducted through dementia cafés in Essex and Suffolk from February to July 2023 engaging patients, carers and family members. Recognised processes for reporting PPIE and thematic analysis were used and identified six themes and 21 subthemes regarding hospital care: individualised care, role of carers, basic care, interpersonal communication, information sharing and staffing. The results from the PPIE will be used to inform and work with stakeholders through the next phases of the project, which involves examining care processes in the hospital, identifying touchpoints and evaluating these areas. The project continues to be informed by stakeholders including people living with dementia, carers and staff. Additionally, the results may inform other service providers for care enhancements, processes and delivery. Moving forward, the study emphasises the importance of building collaborative relationships with stakeholders involved in dementia care. Additionally, it provides insights to focus areas that are fundamental for acute care organisations when delivering care to people living with dementia. By incorporating insights from PPIE, this project seeks to identify inequalities in dementia care services, improve hospital care for people living with dementia, fostering a more inclusive and supportive healthcare environment. The purpose of the study was to explore the most important issues around hospital care for people with dementia, their carers and families. Persons living with dementia, carers and family members were involved in the study through community dementia cafés and recruited to take part in focus groups to discuss hospital care for patients with dementia. The design of questions and materials for the discussions was developed through consultation with the university department's service user lead and dementia specialist and reviewed by a service user member living with dementia. A pilot focus group was conducted with a group of carers. We worked with the dementia café managers to coordinate recruitment and a suitable environment to run the focus groups. Not applicable.

Investigating associations between the natural environment and COVID-19

BackgroundThe natural environment offers a plethora of health benefits and may mitigate the risk of contracting SARS-CoV-2. However, they are also sites where interpersonal contact is frequent, amplifying the risk of transmission. Previous research has typically focused on green space or a measure of greenness. Greenness is often associated with fewer COVID-19 infections, whereas associations with green space are mixed. Very few studies have investigated blue spaces. To our knowledge, no studies have investigated associations between greenness, green space, and blue space with COVID-19 for a national population. Objectives & ApproachWe aimed to investigate the impacts of exposure to the natural environment on the likelihood of testing positive for COVID-19 in small areas across Great Britain. We derived several measures of green space, greenness and blue space using data from Ordnance Survey and the Google Earth Engine. These measures were linked to the COVID-19 Infection Survey in a Trusted Research Environment. We used mixed-effects logistic regression to account for the multiple tests taken by each participant, adding a random effect for participant ID. We fit univariate models for each predictor and multivariate models for each environmental exposure, adjusting for sex, age, ethnicity, household occupancy, rurality, population density and deprivation. ResultsThe survey contained test results from a random and representative sample of over 500,000 participants. Approximately 11 million tests were taken by the cohort across three years. Conclusions & Implications The results of this study will inform planning for the next pandemic.

Transforming how we communicate with victims :moving beyond information provision to a system of communication

This article is based on Victim Support Europe’s policy paper “Transforming how we communicate with victims: moving beyond information provision to a system of communication”, drafted and published in 2022 under the Project INFOVICTIMS 3. The three INFOVICTIMS projects, co-financed by the Criminal Justice Programme of the European Union, were developed and led by the Portuguese Association for Victim Support (Associação Portuguesa de Apoio à Vítima, APAV). As a result of multiple contacts and exchange of knowledge and experiences, a partnership between APAV and the Instituto Brasileiro de Atenção e Apoio Integral às Vítimas (PRÓVÍTIMA) was established. The connection between APAV and ProVítima is characterized by collaborative efforts and synergies to create a more robust and integrated response to the complex challenges associated with victimisation. APAV's expertise in victim support and ProVítima's specialized focus contribute to a collective and coordinated approach to prevention, intervention, and assistance for those affected by crime. This collaboration exemplifies a concerted endeavour to provide holistic support and advocate for the rights and well-being of victims within the Portuguese and Brazilian context. Under this partnership,Infovictims reached Brazil, and ProVítima Institute created the website Infovictims Brazil.

Indonesian dentists' views on providing oral health care for older adults

BackgroundWith demographic changes in aging populations, dentists require special care protocols to treat older adults with diverse and complex oral health needs and problems. Knowledge, positive attitudes, and sufficient practice experience are essential components for promptly treating older adults. However, many dentists encounter multiple barriers influencing their willingness to provide care for older adults. This study assessed Indonesian dentists' knowledge, attitudes, and practices (KAP) in providing oral health care (OHC) for older adults, including their willingness and barriers.MethodsA cross‐sectional survey was conducted with 392 dentists employing an online questionnaire between April and June 2022. The respondents' KAP was categorised utilising a modified Blooms' cut‐off point of ≥60%. Data were analysed using descriptive statistics, the x2 test, and logistic regression.ResultsMost dentists demonstrated adequate knowledge (62.2%), a positive attitude (95.4%), sufficient practice experience (91.6%), and a high willingness (98%) to provide OHC services for older adults. However, 91.4% encountered barriers primarily related to interpersonal communication, disease complexity and polypharmacy, and patient functional status. Significant associations were found between dentists' attitudes toward practices and willingness to attend geriatric dentistry training with knowledge.ConclusionImplementation of continuing professional development (CPD) in geriatric dentistry, the inclusion of geriatric dentistry into the undergraduate curriculum, and enhancing clinic accessibility for older adults may improve dentists' preparedness and benefit the future provision of OHC for older adults in Indonesia.

Inference of human contact networks based on epidemic data

A key challenge in epidemic modeling is the lack of adequate data on population interactions (such as traffic flow or mobility patterns) which result in the spread of infectious diseases. Knowledge of social contact patterns is crucial for public health professionals to devise effective non-pharmaceutical interventions to control epidemics. This paper focuses on inferring social contact rates from reported infection counts during the spread of an infectious disease, addressing the increased difficulty that arises when dealing with “sparse” contact networks where only a small subset of the edges have non-zero weights. Specifically, a new geographically constrained lasso approach for network reconstruction for non-homogeneous mixing Susceptible-Infected-Removed (SIR) disease spread models is presented. The new network reconstruction method can explicitly account for the spatial proximity of network nodes in estimating the disease transmission rates and predicting the future evolution of the epidemic dynamics. Extensive numerical experiments are presented to show the proposed method outperforms existing approaches in terms of accuracy of contact identification under various graph topologies. A case study based on real data from the COVID-19 pandemic is presented to demonstrate the application of the approach for inferring contact structures and a counterfactual scenario analysis to assess effectiveness of containment strategies.

Intervention Proposal: Using Lego in Collaborative Play as an Intervention for Intergenerational Trauma in Chinese-Canadian Families

Intergenerational trauma is traumatic events experienced by ancestors which passed down through generations of descendants. While there has been published literature on intergenerational trauma, there lies a gap for culturally appropriate interventions for immigrant families that experience this type of trauma. This intervention proposal aims to utilise published research as well as Lego in therapy to bridge the gap in cross-cultural psychology by creating a treatment intervention for immigrant families experiencing intergenerational trauma, more specifically, Chinese immigrant families. Participant criterium are immigrant families with one or more children between the ages of eight to twelve-years-old and can commit to a minimum of 18 consecutive weekly sessions at two hours per week in a supervised therapeutic setting with a trauma-informed mental health professional. Sessions are divided into two interview sessions, 12 pre-determined Lego building tasks with increasing difficulty, and four free-building sessions. The supervising professional will conduct pre- and post- intervention interviews to assess the participants’ baselines, promote constructive and concise communication during sessions, and debriefing with the family after each session. Expected outcomes of this Lego intervention for immigrant families experiencing intergenerational trauma are improved interpersonal communication skills, increased levels of trust, a better recognition of emotions with higher levels of emotion regulation skills, and living in a healthier family environment.

Interpersonal Communication Patterns of Lupus Patients at Cinta Kupu Community

This study analyzes the interpersonal communication patterns of lupus sufferers in the North Sumatra Cinta Kupu community, focusing on self-disclosure, initial diagnosis, and self-concept. Using a qualitative, phenomenological approach, the research seeks to understand the experiences of six informants, divided into key and triangulation groups. Data collection involved interviews and observations. The findings reveal that interpersonal communication patterns are influenced by internal factors, such as the desire to survive, communicate, and fulfill social needs, as well as external factors like empathy, motivation, and self-proving. Self-disclosure, shaped by self-acceptance, also impacts various aspects of their lives within the community. The desire to continue offspring, fulfill the needs of life as social beings, the desire to survive, and the desire and need to communicate with others. While external factors are: empathy, motivation (support) and imitation and self-proof.
