Psycho-Social Correlates of Cyberbullying among Polish Adolescents.

Cyberbullying has recently attracted attention due to its increasing prevalence and serious consequences for both victims and perpetrators. The objective of this population-based study was to examine the determinants of a person becoming a perpetrator of cyberbullying, including personal resources (emotional self-regulation, self-esteem, internal locus of control, optimism), social skills (prosocial behavior, assertiveness, cognitive empathy, cooperation), peer relationships (peer support, threats from peers, peer rejection, dislike of peers), and problematic Internet use (excessive Internet use, impulsive reactions to Internet deprivation). Participants (N = 541) were students at elementary schools (age 14-15) in Ostroleka, a city in central-eastern Poland. Two-part regression was used to explore protective/risk factors of the likelihood of an individual using cyberviolence (dichotomous part: involvement in violence) and how often it is used (continuous part: frequency of cyberbullying). The results showed that the emotional component is crucial to cyberbullying, as indicated by the importance of emotional self-control, which reduces the frequency of cyberbullying. Other important factors are assertiveness, impulsive response to limited Internet access (which increases the likelihood of engaging in cyberbullying) and fear of peers (which reduces its frequency). In turn, the importance of pro-sociality (which inhibits engagement) and peer support (which promotes engagement) points to the second important component of cyberbullying-that is, group mechanisms. At the same time, the results indicate that while the importance of Internet addiction as a risk factor for cyberbullying should not be underestimated, the amount of time spent online cannot be seen as the source of the problem. The study leads to the conclusion that effective interventions targeting cyberbullying should focus on the development of more adaptive styles of coping with emotions.

Smartphone and Mobile App Use Among Physicians in Clinical Practice: Scoping Review

Health care professionals are increasingly using smartphones in clinical care. Smartphone use can affect patient quality of care and clinical outcomes. This scoping review aimed to describe how physicians use smartphones and mobile apps in clinical settings. We conducted a scoping review using the Joanna Briggs Institute methodology and reported the results according to PRISMA-ScR (Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses extension for Scoping Reviews) guidelines. We used the following databases in our literature search: MEDLINE, Embase, Cochrane Library, Web of Science, Google Scholar, and gray literature for studies published since 2010. An additional search was also performed by scanning the reference lists of included studies. A narrative synthesis approach was used. A total of 10 studies, published between 2016 and 2021, were included in this review. Of these studies, 8 used surveys and 2 used surveys with focus group study designs to explore smartphone use, its adoption, experience of using it, and views on the use of smartphones among physicians. There were studies with only general practitioners (n=3), studies with only specialists (n=3), and studies with both general practitioners and specialists (n=4). Physicians use smartphones and mobile apps for communication (n=9), clinical decision-making (n=7), drug compendium (n=7), medical education and training (n=7), maintaining health records (n=4), managing time (n=4), and monitoring patients (n=2) in clinical practice. The Medscape medical app was frequently used for information gathering. WhatsApp, a nonmedical app, was commonly used for physician-patient communication. The commonly reported barriers were lack of regulatory oversight, privacy concerns, and limited Wi-Fi or internet access. The commonly reported facilitator was convenience and having access to evidence-based medicine, clinical decision-making support, and a wide array of apps. Smartphones and mobile apps were used for communication, medical education and training, clinical decision-making, and drug compendia in most studies. Although the benefits of smartphones and mobile apps for physicians at work were promising, there were concerns about patient privacy and confidentiality. Legislation is urgently needed to protect the liability of health care professionals using smartphones.

Multimodal learning for emergency department triage implementation: experiences from Papua New Guinea during the COVID-19 pandemic

Triage implementation in resource-limited emergency departments (EDs) has traditionally relied on intensive in-person training. This study sought to evaluate the impact of a novel digital-based learning strategy focused on the Interagency Integrated Triage Tool, a three-tier triage instrument recommended by the World Health Organization. A mixed methods study utilising pre-post intervention methods was conducted in two EDs in Papua New Guinea. The primary outcome was the mean change in knowledge before and after completion of a voluntary, multimodal training program, primarily delivered through a digital learning platform accessible via smartphone. Secondary outcomes included the change in confidence to perform selected clinical tasks, and acceptability of the learning methods. Among 136 eligible ED staff, 91 (66.9%) completed the digital learning program. The mean knowledge score on the post-training exam was 87.5% (SD 10.4), a mean increase of 12.9% (95% CI 10.7-15.1%, p<0.0001) from the pre-training exam. There were statistically significant improvements in confidence for 13 of 15 clinical tasks, including undertaking a triage assessment and identifying an unwell patient.In an evaluation survey, 100% of 30respondents agreed or strongly agreed the online learning platform was easy to access, use and navigate, and that the digital teaching methods were appropriate for their learning needs. In qualitative feedback, respondents reported that limited internet access and a lack of dedicated training time were barriers to participation. The use of digital learning to support triage implementation in resource-limited EDs is feasible and effective when accompanied by in-person mentoring. Adequate internet access is an essential pre-requisite. Development of the Kumul Helt Skul learning platform was undertaken as part of the Clinical Support Program (Phase II), facilitated by Johnstaff International Development on behalf of the Australian Government Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade through the PNG-Australia Partnership. RM is supported by a National Health and Medical Research Council Postgraduate Scholarship and a Monash Graduate Excellence Scholarship, while PC is supported by a Medical Research Future Fund Practitioner Fellowship.

Assessment of San Antonio refugee health clinic telehealth response and refugees’ needs during the COVID-19 pandemic

In March of 2020, Texas declared a statewide public health emergency in response to the rapidly spreading COVID-19 virus, forcing the shutdown of many critical operations across the state. The pandemic has had a massive impact on the refugee population worldwide, increasing displacement and limiting opportunities for resettlement, work, and aid. In an effort to evaluate and address the holistic needs of the San Antonio's vulnerable refugee community during the pandemic, the San Antonio Refugee Health Clinic (SARHC) created a COVID-19 response team that screened and triaged the population, collected data, and provided telemedicine and other urgent teleservices.The SARHC clinic has served the mostly uninsured and underserved refugee population of San Antonio, Texas for over 10 years as a Student-Faculty Collaborative Practice (SFCP). With the collaboration of the Center for Refugee Services in San Antonio, the clinic utilizes the site of a local church on a weekly basis to serve refugees via teams of nursing, dental, and medical students and faculty.At the height of the COVID-19 lockdown, teams of student and faculty volunteers conducted a cross-sectional study of patients’ needs by systematically calling and screening patients. Qualitative data on COVID-19 risk, mental wellness, financial needs, food security, dental needs, and medical needs was collected. Quantitative data on number of patients contacted, country of origin, interpreter use, insurance access, internet access, referrals, appointments, and prescriptions carried out was also collected and analyzed.Of the patients called (N = 216), 57% (n = 123) were successfully reached and completed the survey. 61% (n = 75) required language interpreter services. Only 9% (n = 11) of individuals had health insurance. 46% (n = 52) expressed the need for telemedicine services, and 34% (n = 42) reported access to WiFi. 41% (n = 50) reported a medical concern, 18% (n = 22) reported dental concerns, 41% (n = 51) reported social needs, and 11% (n = 14) reported mental health concerns. 24% (n = 30) of patients requested medication refills.Our snapshot of the San Antonio refugee community during the COVID-19 pandemic captures their social, mental, and physical struggles; the pandemic left many families without access to medications, health services, social services, job, and food security. The telemedicine campaign proved to be an effective method of assessing and addressing a variety of patient needs in a virtual setting. Of concern is the high rates of uninsured families and limited Internet access. These findings reveal important considerations for equitable healthcare delivery to vulnerable populations in the face of prolonged unforeseen events, like the COVID-19 pandemic.

Tackling the COVID-19 infodemic among Syrian refugees in Lebanon: Development and evaluation of the "Wikaytek" tool.

The COVID-19 infodemic has been a global public health challenge, especially affecting vulnerable populations such as Syrian refugees with limited internet access and functional, health, digital, and media literacies. To address this problem, we developed Wikaytek, a software to diffuse reliable COVID-19 information using WhatsApp, the preferred communication channel among Syrian refugees. In this paper, we describe the systematic development of the tool. We undertook a pilot study guided by the Humanitarian Engineering Initiative (HEI)'s user-centered design framework, comprising five stages: (a) user research, including needs assessment and desk review of interventions with target users; (b) concept design based on platform and source selection, message format, concept testing, and architecture design; (c) prototyping and implementation, encompassing software development and system operation; (d) user testing (alpha and beta); and (e) evaluation through software analytics and user interviews. We reported a qualitative process evaluation. Wikaytek scrapes validated and reliable COVID-19-related information from reputable sources on Twitter, automatically translates it into Arabic, attaches relevant media (images/video), and generates an audio format using Google text-to-speech. Then, messages are broadcast to WhatsApp. Our evaluation shows that users appreciate receiving "push" information from reliable sources they can trust and prefer the audio format over text. Wikaytek is a useful and well-received software for diffusing credible information on COVID-19 among Syrian refugees with limited literacy, as it complements the texts with audio messages. The tool can be adapted to diffuse messages about other public health issues among vulnerable communities, extending its scope and reach in humanitarian settings.
