Barriers to Childhood Immunization in Rural and Remote Areas: A Qualitative Exploration From the Perspectives of Community Leaders in Sindh, Pakistan.

Despite overall improvements observed at the national level, there is a significant disparity in childhood vaccination coverage rates between urban and rural regions, particularly within tribal and remote areas in Pakistan. Our study aimed to explore the views of community/tribal leaders concerning barriers and their local solutions for improving vaccine uptake, with a specific focus on remote settings. An exploratory qualitative research study was conducted from July to September 2019 in Shikarpur, Sindh, Pakistan. We interviewed 11 community leaders, after developing a semi-structured interview guide based on the health belief model. Following validation, the collected data was transcribed and subsequently translated into the English language. A stepwise process of manual familiarization, coding, theme generation, and theme review using an inductive approach was followed. While most of the rural community leaders expressed a willingness to support vaccinations, numerous unexplored barriers were identified. These barriers included an unsustainable communication system heavily dependent on polio mobile teams, discourteous behavior of healthcare personnel, cultural restrictions that limited women's involvement, economic hardships, limited transportation options, insufficient collaboration with the education sector, poor knowledge among community leaders, and security concerns. Additionally, they proposed some innovative solutions of information dissemination methods through the Ottaque system, ethics-based training, subsidized transportation services or voucher system, and addressing security concerns in collaboration with community leaders. Our findings suggest policymakers take both community leaders and members for an inclusive policy-making process to redraft the special policy for these remote and rural areas.

Immersive, interactive virtual learning environments increase accessibility in soil science

AbstractAs the use of online education increases, technologies to improve the quality of learning have been improving alongside it. One method of information dissemination is virtual learning environments (VLE), in which educators can tailor digital lessons according to their subject and the needs of their students. For soil science, and field‐based sciences in general, this technology holds great potential in addressing issues of accessibility. Field labs can be challenging due to monetary, time, and physical constraints; however, the use of VLE can allow for students to indefinitely access field settings in a safe and repeatable way with no additional cost. We have built the framework for and created an immersive soil science–based VLE in the Laramie Range Mountains, examining terrain and soils along six sites on a catena. When this VLE was used in a class of 26 upper level morphology and classification students as a supplemental field trip, scores before and after use were comparable; however, students reported an increase in engagement and interest in the VLE itself, as well a general increase in understanding of relationships between landscape processes and soil formation. Using this technology structure in distance learning enhances our ability to deliver high‐quality, immersive, accessible content as natural science education progresses.

Research on the information dissemination method of Chinese culture education based on information dissemination datasetResearch on the information dissemination method of Chinese culture education based on information dissemination dataset

Abstract This paper proposes an evolutionary model of information dissemination based on information exposure states and the underlying topology of social networks. Based on the definition of similarity, the K-means method is used to cluster the categories of information based on the activation of information at the network vertices and to model the “category-category” interactions. The evolution of information dissemination is then explored, and the EGT model is fitted to obtain a gain matrix that reveals the interaction of information, and the quantitative evolution of information is then analyzed. Finally, the information dissemination media of Chinese language and culture education are explored, and the analysis of the dissemination of Chinese language and culture education under various media, comparing the feedback effects of traditional and modern media as representatives of Chinese language and culture classes. Among the feedback results of each medium, the traditional medium’s positive and active feedback indices ranged from 5 to 17, while the modern medium ranged from 12 to 27. The traditional media’s negative and passive feedback indices ranged from 2-3, while the modern media ranged from 3-4. In the field research on the informatization of the Chinese language and culture, the total score for the informatization of the Chinese language and culture curriculum in Yucai Middle School was 0.45, and the total score for Guangming Middle School was 0.65. Modern media can facilitate the spread of the Chinese language and culture to a certain extent.

Voices of those living with type 2 diabetes in Belize: barriers to care before and during the COVID-19 pandemic

Belize has the highest national prevalence of type 2 diabetes (T2D) of Central and South America, and fifth direst in the world. T2D is the leading cause of death in Belize, a country facing burdens of increasing prevalence with few resources. Since March of 2020, the COVID-19 pandemic has exacerbated the difficulties of those living with T2D in Belize. To address T2D issues in Belize, our interdisciplinary research team explored the barriers to care and self-management for adult patients with T2D in Belize prior to and during the COVID-19 pandemic.Research relationships between Canadian (ARH) and Belizean (LE) authors have been ongoing since 2016. Together we used a qualitative Constructivist Grounded Theory design generating knowledge through 35 semi-structured patient interviews, 25 key informant discussions, and participant observation with field notes between February 2020 to September 2021. We used Dedoose analysis software for a systematized thematic coding process, as well as iterative verification activities. Findings revealed several barriers to care and self-management, including: 1) the tiered health and social care system with major gaps in coverage; 2) the unfulfilled demand for accurate health information and innovative dissemination methods; and 3) the compounding of loss of community supports, physical exercise, and health services due to COVID-19 restrictions. In the post-pandemic period, it is necessary to invest in physical, nutritional, economic, and psychosocial health through organized activities adaptable to changeable public health restrictions. Recommendations for activities include sending patients informational and motivational text messages, providing recipes with accessibly sourced T2D foods, televising educational workshops, making online tools more accessible, and mobilising community and peer support networks.

SENPR disinformation spreading model to discuss the control of the spread of disinformation in emergencies

The spread of disinformation in online social networks (OSNs) poses a significant threat to maintaining normal social order. It is important to understand when and how intervention measures can control the spread of disinformation. We propose a novel information spreading model called susceptible, exposed, negative-infected, positive-infected, recovered population (SENPR) to describe the disinformation dynamics in OSNs under the intervention strategy. The model in this study considers that the susceptible population in the network is transformed into an exposed population through the influence of two information-dissemination methods that affect other susceptible people in the network. Subsequently, the stability of the model was analyzed to verify the validity of the obtained theoretical results. Finally, the influence of different parameters on the spread of disinformation is described, and corresponding management strategies to suppress the spread of false information in emergency situations are discussed. The results show that word-of-mouth is the main mode of communication in the “development” and “burst” stages of information spreading. The earlier the intervention is implemented, the sooner the number of people affected by word-of-mouth begins to decline and the sooner the spreading of disinformation reaches the saturation and decay stages.

Knowledge and acceptance of COVID-19 vaccine among healthcare workers in Enugu metropolis, Enugu state, Nigeria.

COVID-19 disease spread at an alarming rate, and was declared a pandemic within 5 months from the first reported case. As vaccines have become available, there was a global effort to attain about 75% herd immunity through vaccination. There is a need to address the issue of vaccine hesitancy to COVID-19 vaccines especially in places such as Sub-Saharan African countries which have a high rate of background vaccine hesitancy. To determine the knowledge and acceptance of COVID-19 vaccines among healthcare workers (HCWs) in Enugu metropolis. A cross-sectional descriptive study of 103 HCWs in Enugu metropolis was done. Data was collected using structured online Google forms. Descriptive and inferential statistics was done using SPSS, and results were summarized into percentages and associations. An acceptance rate of 56.2% was obtained among HCWs in Enugu metropolis. Positive predicators of acceptance include older age (p = 0.004, X2 = 13.161), marriage (p = 0.001, X2 = 13.996), and higher average level of income (p = 0.013, X2 = 10.766) as significant correlations were found. No significant association was found between educational level, religion, denomination nor occupation, and acceptance of vaccine. The major factor responsible for refusal was fear of side-effects. The acceptance rate of COVID-19 vaccines among HCWs is still less than optimal. This population represents the most enlightened population on health related matters, hence if acceptance rate remains merely average that in the general population is expected to be worse. There is a need to address the fear of vaccine side-effects by inculcating more open and interactive methods of information dissemination, while also addressing the misconceptions or myths surrounding COVID-19 vaccines.

Podcasting as a Tool for Crisis Communications: The Story of Public Health On Call.

At the start of the COVID-19 pandemic, the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health created Public Health On Call, a podcast that features interviews with health experts about urgent issues in the response. After the initial episodes were downloaded tens of thousands of times, the Bloomberg School of Public Health established a podcast team. Episodes included interviews with health officers, elected leaders, foreign officials, physicians, patients, and community leaders. By the end of 2022, episodes of the podcast had been downloaded more than 9.6 million times. The Public Health On Call podcast became an important adjunct to other methods of information dissemination, with greater detail than news interviews and less formality than published articles. The podcast represents a successful rapid response to an emerging health challenge in a new world of media, and serves as a platform for direct engagement of academic health experts with the public.

Is the information on infection prevention measures against COVID-19 reaching the target audience? A cross-sectional survey among eating and drinking services in Tokyo, Japan

ObjectivesThe study aims to evaluate information gathering behaviour (IGB) and its effectiveness in eating and drinking services for infection control during COVID-19. Study designA cross-sectional survey using anonymous self-administered questionnaires was conducted in October 2021. Participants were asked what IGB they use to obtain infection control measures, to what extent they understand the measures (and, if they do not understand them, what inhibits their comprehension), and which IGBs they do not currently use and why. MethodsThe sample included 957 eating and drinking services in Ota City, Tokyo. The response rate was 14.5%. Binomial logistic regression was used to analyse the factors associated with the baseline characteristics using Stata v.17.0. ResultsThe highest proportion of respondents used television (88.0%); another large proportion (38.9%) used guidelines. Regarding difficulty in understanding the retrieved information, ‘difficulty in coming up with specific actions’ had the highest ratio for every IGB. Regarding reasons for not currently using IGB, ‘it takes too much time to extract the necessary information’ showed the highest ratios of all IGBs. Individuals over 60 years had a negative relationship with the use of guidelines and the Internet. Participants also advised that they did not use time-consuming guidelines. ConclusionCurrent information dissemination methods for information on COVID-19 infection control may not successfully convey information or reach their target populations. This study indicates the need for specific expressions and layouts to effectively share information on COVID-19. Also, special means of communication must be established to cater to individuals aged 60 and above.
