Linking affected community and academic knowledge: a community-based participatory research framework based on a Shichigahama project

Earthquakes that cause extensive damage occur frequently in Japan, the most recent being the Noto Peninsula earthquake on January 1, 2024. To facilitate such a recovery, we introduce a community-based participatory research program implemented through cooperation between universities and local communities after the 2011 Great East Japan Earthquake. In this project, the university and the town of Shichigahama, one of the affected areas, collaborated to hold annual workshops in the target area, which evolved into a climate monitoring survey. Even in Japan, where disaster prevention planning is widespread, various problems arise in the process of emergency response, recovery and reconstruction, and building back better when disasters occur. As is difficult for residents and local governments to solve these problems alone, it is helpful when experts participate in the response process. In this study, we interviewed town hall and university officials as representatives of local residents regarding this project and discussed their mutual concerns. The community-based participatory research framework developed in the Shichigahama project could be used in the recovery from the Noto Peninsula Earthquake as well as in future reconstruction and disaster management projects.

Changing Spanish preservice teachers' environmental attitudes with a citizen science program integrated in Environmental Education subject

AbstractThis research analyzes the effect of the implementation of citizen science activities in the Environmental Education (EE) subject program of the Degree in Primary Education applying Experiential Learning Theory. Environmental Attitudes Inventory (EAI) was used to measure the change in environmental attitudes (EA) of 173 preservice teachers through a pre‐test–post‐test experimental design without a control group. Participation in the training program significantly improved EA in the 12 dimensions defined in the EAI. Of the dimensions included in the second order factor Preservation, Enjoyment of nature reached the largest effect size and Environmental movement activism is the one that obtains the smallest effect size. With regard to Utilization, all dimensions presented a large effect size. No significant differences were found in EA based on the gender variable. It can be concluded that the incorporation of citizen science activities in the EE program significantly improves EA.

Accessibility of methadone treatment via public transit for syringe services program participants in Miami-Dade County, Florida.

Methadone is an opioid receptor agonist medication used in the treatment of opioid use disorder (OUD). Geographic distance to opioid treatment programs (OTPs) is a major barrier to treatment, given requirements for direct observation of dosing and periodic drug screens, and 'methadone treatment deserts' are defined as a public transit threshold of 30 minutes. The purpose of this study was to examine public transit access to methadone treatment for participants of a syringe services program (SSP) in Miami-Dade County, Florida. Public transit times were calculated using the R library r5r, which facilitates multi-modal transportation network routing. General Transit Feed Specification data was combined with street network data from OpenStreetMap for Miami-Dade County. Transit times were estimated from the population-weighted centroid of each zip code (n=79) with participants of Miami's only SSP (n=1597) to the nearest OTP (n=4) using 10 departure windows aligned with OTP service hours. The mean one-way transit time from zip codes with SSP participants in Miami-Dade County to the nearest OTP was 80 minutes. 75 of the 79 (95%) zip codes with SSP participants in Miami-Dade County have a mean transit time to the closest OTP greater than 30 minutes. Transit times differ substantially between zip codes with different numbers of SSP participants, but not between departure windows. Nearly all zip codes with SSP participants in Miami-Dade County can be classified as 'methadone treatment deserts'. Geographic isolation of methadone treatment from public transit routes represents a significant barrier to equitable OUD treatment.

Peningkatan Pengetahuan Masyarakat tentang Program Keluarga Berencana

The Family Planning (KB) Program is one of the government's main strategies in controlling population growth and improving the quality of life of the community. However, uneven knowledge among the community often becomes an obstacle in the implementation of this program. This community service activity aims to increase community knowledge about the KB program. The activity was carried out in May 2024 in Mojosongo Village, Jebres, Surakarta, with participants consisting of fertile couples, cadres, and mothers of toddlers. The methods used included interactive counseling and group discussions. The results showed a significant increase in knowledge in participants, measured through pre-tests and post-tests. It is hoped that this increase in knowledge will encourage active community participation in the KB program and the implementation of recommended practices, which will ultimately also improve maternal and child health.

Outcomes of a Day Wellness Program for People With Multiple Sclerosis Before and During the COVID-19 Pandemic.

The John A. Schafer, MD Multiple Sclerosis Achievement Center (MSAC) conducts wellness programs that include exercise, cognitive stimulation, education, emotional support, and socialization for people with multiple sclerosis and their care partners. Patient-reported outcomes (PROs) are collected annually. Four-year outcomes encompass the COVID-19 pandemic when some of these programs were offered virtually. Beginning in 2017, baseline data were collected for 110 MSAC day wellness program participants through PRO measures. Of those 110, 52 completed PROs annually through 2021. Outcome measures included the Multiple Sclerosis Impact Scale (MSIS-29); Multiple Sclerosis Self-Efficacy Scale (MSSE-10); Godin Leisure-Time Exercise Questionnaire (GLTEQ); and the Neurology Quality of Life domains of Anxiety, Depression, Emotional and Behavioral Dysregulation, Positive Affect, Cognition, Ability to Participate in and Satisfaction with Social Roles and Activities, and Satisfaction with Social Roles and Activities. Analysis using t tests compared baseline with 4-year data. A separate analysis compared outcomes collected in January 2020 and January 2021. Analysis of 4-year data demonstrated statistically significant improvement in MSIS-29 and GLTEQ. Statistically significant improvements noted at years 2 and 3 in the Ability to Participate in Social Roles and Activities were no longer significant at year 4. Other notable changes included significant decreases in MSSE at year 4 when compared with baseline and year 3. Individuals who participated in a weekly, structured day wellness program showed improvements in self-reported disease impact and physical activity at year 4 vs baseline. Decreases in self-efficacy and social domains were seen, corresponding with disruptions caused by the COVID-19 pandemic. Further analysis is needed to understand the effects of the pandemic on program participants.

Transition to Adult Care in Autoinflammatory Diseases: A Cohort of 111 French Patients.

Transitioning from pediatric to adult care is a critical step for individuals with autoinflammatory diseases, requiring effective programs to ensure continuity of care and disease management. Despite various recommendations, the effectiveness of transition programs, particularly in monogenic autoinflammatory diseases, remains understudied. A single-center medical records review study was conducted at the French National Reference Center for Adult Autoinflammatory Diseases in Tenon Hospital from 2017 to 2023. All patients who had consulted for the first time between the ages of 15 and 30 years and had received care for an autoinflammatory disease during childhood were included. The patients were classified according to whether they had undergone a transition, defined as either no transition, simple transition (referral letter), or joint transition (pediatrician and adult physician consultation). One hundred eleven patients (median age, 18 years) were included. Patients who consulted without transition started adult follow-up and were followed up less regularly than those who underwent the transition process ( p < 0.001 and p = 0.028). In patients with familial Mediterranean fever, the absence of a formal transition was associated with poorer disease control at baseline ( p = 0.019). The type of transition did not impact disease control during follow-up. Participation in a transition program is associated with earlier and more regular follow-up in adulthood. Although transition type did not significantly impact disease control during follow-up in familial Mediterranean fever, the potential benefit of joint consultation extends beyond consultation frequency and disease outcomes, encompassing patient perspectives and self-management abilities. This study highlights the significance of collaborative transition programs in AIDs.

Digital technologies in additional professional education curricula as a mean for developing professional competencies in polytechnic university students

Digitalization of education plays an important role in the implementation of programs to train highly qualified personnel for the digital economy. The project “Digital departments”, implemented since 2022 at the intersection of additional education and information technologies within the framework of the national program “Digital economy of the Russian Federation”, creates a unique educational format, not only changing the organizational forms of training but also allowing the use of digital technologies as means of developing the vocational competencies of students. The article presents data on the first implementation results of the additional professional education program “Information technologies in design” at the “digital department” of Perm National Research Polytechnic University and aimed at training specialists in the field of industrial design. The digital technologies considered in the article act not only as tools in the operational activity of an industrial designer but also as means for the vocational development of special design thinking skills. The author’s teaching methods are of practical value for achieving the effect of “creativization” of design solutions developed by the program participants. It is proved that in such context, digital technologies contribute to the formation of students’ skills of creative actions carrying artistic, aesthetic, and economic value. The presented results may be of practical interest to heads of university design education, to teachers — researchers of the problems of digital transformation of engineering and graphic education, as well as methodologists and teachers­practitioners who provide training in the programs of higher and additional vocational education in the IT sphere.

The Role of the New Media in Spreading the Culture of Volunteering in the Iraqi Society: Facebook as a Model

Volunteering is considered and continues to be the cornerstone of building society, spreading love, and fostering social cohesion among its members. This practice varies from time to time and from one community to another. Sometimes it decreases, and other times it increases. It can take the form of monetary donations or other charitable deeds. Volunteering is a humanitarian act closely tied to all the meanings of goodness and pure, righteous deeds for the sake of Allah. It is connected to the religious aspect, as Allah says: 'So whoever volunteers good, it is better for him. So volunteering has become a necessity among life's necessities due to its social message aimed at participation in building, developing, and strengthening the foundations of society. Consequently, the culture of volunteering has become an integral part of the cultures of developed societies, representing a system of principles, ethics, standards, and practices that encourage initiative and positive actions that benefit others (1). At the global level, volunteering has received increasing attention from the United Nations through its programs and institutions that provide assistance to the poor, marginalized, afflicted, and refugees. December 5th has been designated as International Volunteer Day as a tribute by the international organization to the significant role that volunteering can play in all areas of humanitarian and developmental work (2). In this research, the study indicates a significant increase in the number of donors among both young and adult individuals. The study seeks to shed light on the role of new media in promoting a culture of volunteering within Iraqi society, especially among the audience in Thi Qar province. The aim of promoting the culture of volunteering through new media platforms is to instill positive values of volunteering, encourage active participation in volunteer programs at the individual, institutional, and community levels, and extend this to regional and international levels. It emphasizes that volunteering is not merely about good intentions; rather, it has evolved into a professionally performed activity that employs new skills in management, finance, service delivery, and communication with others. The study emphasizes the importance of setting performance standards and evaluation criteria to develop, renew, and innovate new mechanisms for volunteering (3).

Health professional retention in underserved areas: findings from the National Health Service Corps Loan Repayment Program participants in the United States, 2019-2021.

Health care provider retention is important for mitigating workforce shortages in underserved areas. The National Health Service Corps (NHSC) provides loan repayment for a two or three-year service commitment from clinicians to work in underserved areas. Prior studies have mixed findings as to what influences clinician retention and have focused mainly on individual-level background characteristics. We used measures of NHSC clinicians' work environment during their service experience, in addition to background characteristics, to identify patterns of experiences, and assess whether these patterns were associated with post-service intentions. We observed that technical assistance and job resources were more influential on clinicians' intentions, compared to individual- or community-level characteristics. Organizations with efficient and supportive work environments may help retain clinicians in underserved areas.

Effects of health education applying role play on decision making in acute myocardial infarction situation among older adults in community

Acute myocardial infarction is a silent killer for people worldwide, especially older adults who often experience atypical symptoms, causing late decision-making and a high mortality rate. The unrecognition of atypical symptoms, unconcerned about their risk, and not knowing how to deal with this critical situation are the barriers to a quick decision to visit the emergency department and delaying treatment, resulting in serious adverse outcomes. Therefore, specific and effective health education among older adults is needed. This double-blinded randomized controlled trial explored the effectiveness of health education by applying a role-play promoting decision-making ability program when expecting acute myocardial infarction occurrence among community-dwelling older adults. The participants were 96 community-dwelling older adults in central northeastern Thailand. We collected data between November 2021 and April 2022. The multi-stage sampling was applied to include participants. The intervention was the role-play promoting decision-making ability program and home visit. Outcomes were measured a week before attending and after finishing the intervention. T-tests, Mann–Whitney U test, Chi-square, and Wilcoxon Signed Rank test compared the outcomes between and within groups. Moreover, adjusted analysis was also demonstrated. Results revealed that participants who attended the program improved their knowledge, belief, and decision-making; only perceived susceptibility did not show improvement. Moreover, after demonstrating an adjusted analysis, the program participants had better knowledge about symptoms, perceived benefits, barriers, self-regulation, possible calling 1669, and first action. In conclusion, a role-play promoting decision-making ability program can promote knowledge, belief, and decision-making when expecting acute myocardial infarction occurrence among community-dwelling older adults. This study proved that role-play is one strategy to promote the program's effectiveness by inducing attention before giving older adults health information. Nurses and other healthcare professionals can implement this program as part of standard practice.Clinical Trial Registration Number: TCTR20210928004 on 28/09/2021.

A Participatory Model for Cocreating Accessible Rehabilitation Technology for Stroke Survivors: User-Centered Design Approach.

Globally, 1 in 3 people live with health conditions that could be improved with rehabilitation. Ideally, this is provided by trained professionals delivering evidence-based dose, intensity, and content of rehabilitation for optimal recovery. The widely acknowledged inability of global health care providers to deliver recommended levels of rehabilitation creates an opportunity for technological innovation. Design processes that lack close consideration of users' needs and budgets, however, mean that many rehabilitation technologies are neither useful nor used. To address this problem, our multidisciplinary research group have established a cocreation center for rehabilitation technology that places the end user at the center of the innovation process. This study aims to present the participatory cocreation model that has been developed from our center and illustrate the approach with 2 cases studies. The model is built around user participation in an intensive rehabilitation program (2-hour sessions, 2-5 times per week, and 8-week duration), supervised by qualified therapists but delivered exclusively through commercial and prototype technology. This provides participants (chronic stroke survivors with movement and/or speech disability) with a rich experience of rehabilitation technology, enabling them to provide truly informed feedback, as well as creating an observatory for the research team. This process is supported by short-term focus groups for specific product development and a longer-term advisory group to consider broader issues of adoption and translation into everyday health care. Our model has been active for 3 years with 92 (92%) out of 100 participants completing the program. Five new technologies have evolved from the process with further ideas logged for future development. In addition, it has led to a set of cocreated protocols for technology-enriched rehabilitation, including recruitment, outcome measures, and intervention structure, which has allowed us to replicate this approach in an acute hospital ward. Suboptimal rehabilitation limits recovery from health conditions. Technology offers the potential support to increase access to recommended levels of rehabilitation but needs to be designed to suit end users and not just their impairment. Our cocreation model, built around participation in an intensive, technology-based program, has produced new accessible technology and demonstrated the feasibility of our overall approach to providing the rehabilitation that people need, for as long as needed.

Relationship between functional status and fatigue after COVID-19 infection: a multicenter study from Türkiye.

Symptoms of COVID-19 may persist for months. One of the persistent symptoms of COVID-19 is fatigue, which reduces functional status. The relationship between fatigue, functional status, and various other factors has received little attention, which this study aims to address.. Patients with COVID-19 infection were included in this multicenter cross-sectional study. Age, sex, body mass index (BMI), marital status, smoking status, presence and duration of chronic disease, comorbidity index, regular exercise habits, time since COVID-19 diagnosis, hospitalization status, length of hospital stay, intubation status, home oxygen therapy after discharge, participation in a pulmonary rehabilitation program, presence of dyspnea, presence of cough, presence of sputum, and modified Medical Research Council, Post-COVID Functional Status (PCFS), Fatigue Severity Scale (FSS), and EQ-5D-5L Questionnaire scores were recorded. We enrolled 1095 patients, including 603 (55%) men and 492 (45%) women with a mean age of 50 ± 14 years. The most common chronic lung disease was COPD (11%) and 266 (29%) patients had nonpulmonary disease. The median time elapsed since COVID-19 diagnosis was 5 months; the hospitalization rate was 47%. The median PCFS grade was 1 (0-4) and the median FSS score was 4.4 (1-7). The PCFS and FSS were positively correlated (r = 0.49, p < 0.01; OR: 1.88, 95% CI: 1.68-2.10). Both functional status and fatigue were associated with quality of life, which was lower in older patients, those with higher BMI, those with systemic disease, those not exercising regularly, and those with more severe COVID-19 infection (defined by dyspnea, pneumonia as indicated by computed tomography, hospitalization, length of stay, ICU admission, intubation, and the need for home oxygen after discharge). Fatigue may cause poorer functional status regardless of the time since COVID-19 diagnosis. In this study, patients with FSS scores of >4.78 showed moderate to severe functional limitations. It is important to address modifiable patient risk factors and reduce the severity of COVID-19 infection.

Feasibility and acceptability of a personalized, pre-filled online grocery cart to improve benefit redemption and diet quality of grocery purchases among participants of the Special Supplemental Nutrition Program for Women, Infants, and Children (WIC)

Most participants in the Special Supplemental Nutrition Program for Women, Infants, and Children (WIC) do not fully redeem their benefits due to barriers like transportation, confusing product eligibility, and unclear labeling. Online food shopping enables choice architecture to promote benefit redemption and maximize diet quality. We conducted a mixed-methods pilot randomized-controlled trial to assess the feasibility and acceptability of a pre-filled online grocery shopping cart to improve WIC benefit redemption and diet quality of grocery purchases. Rhode Island WIC participants (n = 24, mean age 29.4 ± 1.1 years, 75% Hispanic, 54% had never grocery shopped online) completed a baseline questionnaire and a simulated shopping episode (SSE), buying WIC and non-WIC items. After a week, we randomized participants into the intervention (personalized, modifiable carts pre-filled with 100% of the 2022 proposed WIC packages) or control (selected their items individually) groups before the second SSE. Both groups had WIC labels. We assessed feasibility using process data and percent agreement to feasibility questions, and acceptability via percent agreement to acceptability questions and post-intervention qualitative interviews. We conducted exploratory analyses to examine differences within and between groups at each timepoint for percent WIC benefit redemption and diet quality of grocery purchases, evaluated using the Grocery Purchase Quality Index-2016 (GPQI-2016) scores. Quantitative study measures suggest that the intervention was feasible and that the personalized, modifiable pre-filled cart was acceptable. These findings were supported during qualitative interviews, where participants highlighted time-savings, flexibility, and WIC labels as facilitators of WIC online shopping. Exploratory results showed significant increases in mean percent redemption of most WIC food categories and non-significant moderate increases in most GPQI-2016 scores. These measures are vital for the future adaptation of a full-scale efficacy trial in real-life settings.

Dyadic concordance and other considerations for matching pairs for peer support diabetes prevention interventions: A mixed methods assessment

ObjectivesDyadic peer support helps patients make health behavior changes for improved outcomes, yet the impact of matching dyads on demographic characteristics such as race or gender is unknown. Therefore, we investigated associations of concordant characteristics with peer outcomes in a diabetes prevention intervention and qualitatively examined participant perspectives on matching. MethodsBinary variables for peer-supporter concordance on 6 demographic characteristics were created for 177 peers and 69 supporters. Regression models compared changes in weight, HbA1c, perceived social support, patient activation, and formal diabetes prevention/education program participation for concordant and non-concordant dyads. Semi-structured qualitative interviews were conducted with 39 peers and 34 supporters. ResultsConcordance on demographic characteristics was not significantly associated with outcomes. Qualitatively, peers and supporters emphasized that more important than shared demographic characteristics was a supporter's empathic, non-judgmental communication style. ConclusionsDemographic characteristics for matching supporters with adults with prediabetes are less important than ensuring high-quality coach training in goal setting and communication style, supporting prior research on the necessity of autonomy supportive communication for effective behavioral change interventions. Practice implicationsExisting peer support programs should incorporate fidelity assessments into practice to ensure peer supporter skill in motivational interviewing-based, autonomy supportive communication and brief goal setting.

Internationalization at home program significantly increases the self-efficacy of nursing students: A pre-post study

BackgroundInternationalization at home strategies seek to achieve a more inclusive and equitable higher education. Evidence about the impact of these strategies on students' self-efficacy is still scarce, even though this psychological construct is essential for the performance and well-being of nursing students. The Global Nursing Care program was designed to provide nursing students with an internationalization at home experience, combining a virtual exchange and international clinical simulation. AimTo determine the impact of the Global Nursing Care program on nursing students' self-efficacy. DesignA quasi-experimental, analytic, and longitudinal study was conducted.Settings and participants: The virtual module was carried out online, and the international simulations were developed in the Simulation Centers of the San Juan de Dios School of Nursing and Physiotherapy (Universidad Pontificia Comillas, Spain) and the West Coast University (USA). Seventy students participated in the program and 57 completed the pre-post questionnaire. MethodsData were collected using an online survey that included a sociodemographic questionnaire and the General Self-efficacy Scale. IBM's SPSS (version 28.0.1.1) was used to analyze data. Differences between self-efficacy levels were measured before and after the program, and according to sociodemographic characteristics. ResultsGeneral self-efficacy was significantly augmented following program participation (pre-intervention: mean = 32.39, SD = 3.87; post-intervention: mean = 34.44, SD = 3.86; p < 0.001). No differences based on nationality, previous international academic experience or academic year were found. ConclusionsAn internationalization at home program based on virtual exchange and simulation improves nursing students' general self-efficacy. Future research can explore to what extent this effect persists over time.

Attending 12 weekly sessions of Forest School sessions improves mood and cooperation in 7–8-year-old children

ABSTRACT Being in nature improves wellbeing and health, but opportunities for children to spend time outside in a natural environment can be limited. Forest School programmes offer this opportunity. This study aimed to examine whether participation in a 12-week Forest School programme would improve mood, self-esteem, spatial cognition and collaborative behaviour. One hundred and seventy-nine UK school children aged 7–8 years took part, with a final sample comprising 151 children. A Forest School and classroom group were assessed at baseline and after 12 weeks. Children who attended the Forest School rated themselves as less tired, less bored, calmer and happier than children in the classroom. There were also greater improvements in cooperation in Forest School attendees. There were no differences in self-esteem, but some initial evidence of better competence-related self-esteem. Performance on the spatial cognition task was unchanged. Our findings suggest that Forest School participation is beneficial for children’s mood and cooperation.

Predictors and risk factors of pulmonary embolism after total hip arthroplasty: an NSQIP study.

Pulmonary embolism (PE) is a well-known contributor to morbidity after total hip arthroplasty (THA). Considerable efforts have been invested in reducing PE occurrence through pharmacological and perioperative interventions. Nonetheless, the effectiveness of these strategies in reducing the incidence and overall mortality associated with pulmonary embolism events remains a matter of debate. Therefore, identifying risky patients has been gaining importance. We utilised data from the National Surgical Quality Improvement Program (NSQIP) participant usage file (PUF) database spanning the years 2016 to 2021. All preoperative parameters were analysed with chi-square afterwards, meaningful ones were run with logistic regression test. A study examined factors influencing pulmonary embolism (PE) prevalence in 235,393 total hip arthroplasty patients. Univariate analysis identified significant associations between PE and female gender, diabetes, smoking, dyspnea, CHF, COPD, hypertension (HT), bleeding disorders, disseminated cancer, steroid use, and functional health status. Multivariate analysis revealed male gender as protective, while COPD, hypertension, and disseminated cancer increased PE risk. Notably, smoking appeared protective. PE patients had higher return-to-operation rates (41.7% vs. 2.2%) but similar 30-day mortality (0.2% vs. 0.04%), though mortality's odds ratio was not significant. Our findings suggest that certain patient characteristics, such as COPD and metastatic malignancy, significantly influence the likelihood of PE development.

Communicating research findings as a return of value to All of Us Research Program participants: insights from staff at Federally Qualified Health Centers.

Research participants value learning how their data contributions are advancing health research (ie, data stories). The All of Us Research Program gathered insights from program staff to learn what research topics they think are of interest to participants, what support staff need to communicate data stories, and how staff use data story dissemination tools. Using an online 25-item assessment, we collected information from All of Us staff at 7 Federally Qualified Health Centers. Topics of greatest interest or relevance included income insecurity (83%), diabetes (78%), and mental health (78%). Respondents prioritized in-person outreach in the community (70%) as a preferred setting to share data stories. Familiarity with available dissemination tools varied. Responses support prioritizing materials for in-person outreach and training staff how to use dissemination tools. The findings will inform All of Us communication strategy, content, materials, and staff training resources to effectively deliver data stories as return of value to participants.
