Accessibility of digital healthcare in 2023: insights from a Dutch national survey study

Abstract Background Digital technology is reshaping healthcare, offering potential improvements in accessibility, efficiency and quality. However, to realize potential benefits, ensuring equal access for all is crucial. We investigated digital healthcare usage and studied differences in use across age groups and educational backgrounds in the Netherlands. Methods Surveys were conducted among general healthcare users (n = 837, any citizen living in the Netherlands with access to healthcare) and healthcare users with chronic conditions (n = 1437). We studied their digital skills (can you independently use a computer, tablet or smartphone; digital applications; email and apps?) and their use of digital selfcare (did you use websites for health-related information or treatment?). Findings are stratified for educational level (low/medium/high) and age (15 -39, 40-64, over 65 years). Data collection occurred between April and August 2023, focusing on the twelve months preceding the survey. Results The majority of respondents use digital devices independently (range: 78-91%), but these percentages vary between subgroups, from 48-65% for users with lower education vs 86-99% for users with higher education. Similar differences exist across age groups: 98-100% of users aged 15-39 use a computer, tablet or smartphone, in contrast with 59-78% in the over 65 years age group. Similarly, the use of websites for health information is 22-31% among lower educated users to 68-70% among higher educated users; and 36-48% among those ≥65 years to 73-75% among respondents aged 15-39. Conclusions Substantial variation exists in the use of digital tools and digital selfcare across ages and educational levels. These findings underscore the urgency of addressing inequalities in access to digital healthcare, serving as a call to action for policymakers, healthcare providers, and developers to collectively strive for an accessible (digital) healthcare system for all. Key messages • Differences in use of digital tools and digital selfcare among people of different ages and educational levels warrants the need for co-creation and tailored development and implementation. • Differences in use of digital tools and digital selfcare among people of different ages and educational levels warrants the need for co-creation and tailored development and implementation.

Consequences of Social Media in the Everyday Life of People: A Case Study of Kathmandu Valley

Social networking has become one of the most important trends of the contemporary society that influenced its members’ communication experiences and perception of reality. This research aims to establish the outcomes of social media use in the lives of the people residing in Ward No. 16 of the Kathmandu Metropolitan City. Social media in particular allows for a broad study of the effects on different parameters the essence of the social interactions among the users of social media, their psychological state, and their ways of obtaining and sharing information. Quantitative and qualitative research methods were used, quantitative and questionnaire based survey and qualitative and interview based survey with 57 respondents. The ideas proposed in this research show that it points to the model of the positive and negative effects, which is the characteristic of social networks as means of communication at the same time. Arguably, the literature suggests that social media results in high consequences in the lives of users with lower age, female gender, lower levels of education, and unmarried statuses. These nuances are discussed in the analysis as a means of providing more information about how people of different age, gender, education level, and marital status perceive the impact of social media. This paper therefore emphasizes the need for people to be conversant with digital literacy, and the need to be cautious when using social media so as to avoid the negative impacts while enjoying the positive ones.

Variation in health and well-being parameters: cross-country and temporal aspects

BACKGROUND: The coronavirus epidemic has stimulated large-scale structural and socio-economic changes throughout the world and led to increased attention to the problem of health in general. But has the epidemic affected the change in the attitude of people of different ages to their health, the perception of various parameters of subjective well-being? The article presents a comparative analysis of a number of assessments (about the level of happiness, satisfaction with income, healthcare, safety, communication, life, attitude towards people, etc.) of respondents from Europe and Central Asia for the period 2006–2021. AIM: The goal is to assess changes that have occurred over a 15-year time interval in relation to health and social determinants of well-being, to determine possible directions for changing the current situation. METHODS: To achieve this goal, the results of the tenth wave of the international comparative European Social Survey, conducted in 2021 (32 countries), were used in comparison with data from the third wave, conducted in 2006 (25 countries). The impact of the pandemic on the health of children and adolescents aged 11–15 years was based on materials from the international Health Behavior in School-Aged Children 2021–2022 in 44 countries in Europe and Central Asia. RESULTS: Despite the difficulties, dictated by the coronavirus, over the period 2006–2021 in most European countries stability in the perception of the world of work and the healthcare institution has been maintained, the psychological situation related to the safety of living has improved, and life satisfaction has increased. According to most of the parameters considered, Russians are outsiders among European countries; however, Russians’ responses to 7 indicators of health and well-being (out of 12) show positive changes. The results of studies of the health of children and adolescents during the pandemic and post-pandemic periods indicate significant negative consequences, mainly related to mental health. CONCLUSION: It is necessary to increase the attention of Russian government bodies to the health and well-being of Russians, first of all, to children and adolescents.

Health Status of People Who Are and Are Not Experiencing Homelessness: Opportunities for Improvement.

This study assessed the physical and psychological health parameters of adults experiencing homelessness to inform the development and delivery of health services by comparing with a housed population in the same South Australian city. Adults experiencing homelessness, known to existing support services, were invited to participate in a comprehensive assessment of their physical and mental health using questionnaires and objective assessments. Descriptive analyses using the percentage of participants failing to attain recommended published thresholds and accumulated health deficits for 16 health assessments were compared for the young group of people experiencing homelessness (18-40 years), the middle aged and older people experiencing homelessness (40-75 years), and a housed population of the middle aged and older people (40-75 years). Those experiencing homelessness had multiple and potentially inter-related health deficits compared with a population of people not experiencing homelessness in the same city. They were significantly less likely to meet healthy population norms for clinical frailty (p < 0.001), psychological distress (p < 0.001), grip strength (p < 0.001), lung function (p < 0.001), sleep quality (p < 0.001), and pelvic floor bother (p = 0.002). Significantly more accumulated health deficits were found for people experiencing homelessness when compared with the same ages for those who were not (mean 6.5 (SD 2.4) compared with 5.0 (SD 2.1)). This considerably increased for people experiencing homelessness aged less than 40 years (mean 8.7 (1.7)). Priorities for health service provision for people of different ages experiencing homelessness, when compared with housed community dwellers, have been described. The provision of targeted health assessments and service provision that specifically address healthcare needs among people experiencing homelessness are likely to have the biggest impacts across multiple health domains.

Effects of physical activity on cognitive function according to the latest selected scientific studies

Background: With the development of medicine, people's life expectancy is increasing, and consequently, there is interest in improving the quality of life, which is affected by, among other things, cognitive functions. Cognitive functions are represented by memory, the ability to absorb new information, speech, attention, reading comprehension, and communication. Many researchers have shown that physical activity (PA) can affect these processes. Aim of the study:The study aims to review the latest scientific studies on the effects of PA on cognitive functions in the broadest sense, specifically on the memory and attention of people of different ages. The paper also explains some of the processes that occur during PA and their impact on cognitive function.Material and methods:A literature review of recent scientific studies in Google Scholar, PubMed, and National Library of Medicine databases published from 2016 to 2024. The inclusion criteria were that the article had a thorough research methodology, publication language English or Polish, and open access.State of knowledge: PA, thanks in part to its effect on the release of beta-endorphins during exercise, promotes neurogenesis in adults and improves broader brain health. PA also improves brain function by affecting astrocytes - the star cells that maintain brain homeostasis. Researchers have shown that acute PA improves attention, while regular PA, lasting at least several weeks, improves academic performance. Studying adults, it has been observed that regular PA can slow progressive cognitive impairment during aging. In studies involving children, PA has been shown to have a positive effect on attention and learning.Conclusions: PA has a positive effect on improving cognitive function in people of all ages, both healthy and those with already established cognitive impairment. More research is needed.

Cluster-analysis of human pulse wave by self-organizing Cohonen maps to identify markers of age groups

The present study is methodological in nature and describes an approach to the study of the human cardiovascular system. The assessment of biological age is important for the management of the human aging process. Regular monitoring of this indicator makes it possible to take preventive measures to reduce the likelihood of cardiovascular disasters. The aim of the study is to determine the age groups based on the pulse waves of the subjects using Kohonen neural networks. In this study, Kohonen self-organizing maps were used to cluster pulse waves of people of different ages by observing the dy-namic change of the pulse wave with the selection of parameters of the neural network self-organization algorithm. A data set of different age groups was used. Each group con-tained files of subjects of the same age, each file – pulse waves of these subjects. As a result of experiments with neural network configurations, cluster structures were obtained and geometric characteristics of pulse waves corresponding to age groups were estab-lished. The clustering algorithm used broke the pulse waves into clusters, the reliability of which in some cases reached 91–96 %. The software implementation of the trained neural network and the portability of the pulse wave measuring device allow the proposed tech-nique to be used to monitor the state of the cardiovascular system in people at risk of cardiovascular disasters, as well as people associated with dangerous professions, ath-letes, office workers, etc. Registration of changes in biological age contributes to the adoption of timely preventive measures, decisions on the modification of nutrition, life-style and physical activity. The resulting network can be used in diagnostic systems to support medical decision-making.

The method of the etiological factor′s evaluation of the gingival recession, with count of their′s separately and common complicity in the pathogenesis

Introduction. Gingival recession is a highly relevant and common dental pathology. The prevalence of recession ranges from 45,5 to 99,3 % in people of different ages, with the risk of gingival recession increasing with age. The true etiology of gingival recession, its components and the degree of their influence, jointly or separately; the influence of the environment and lifestyle on the development of pathology are poorly understood. In the literature, for example, there is no classification of etiological factors according to the degree of their influence as triggers of gingival recession. It is of scientific interest to study the causes of gingival recession, their systematisation and assessment of the degree of influence of each factor separately and together.The aim of the study is to develop a classification system of etiological factors taking into account their significance and degree of influence on the formation of gingival recessions.Materials and methods. Analysis of scientific literature, methods of classification and structuring; methods of decomposition, integration and determination of cause-and-effect relationships.Results. A model of classification of factors of the etiology of gingival recessions was proposed, elements of the structure of etiological factors of gingival recessions were determined by the degree of their influence on pathogenesis.Conclusion. Conclusions. The study and understanding of the etiology of gingival recessions allows the clinician to select a personalised treatment taking into account individual characteristics that influence the recession occurrence and its condition: congenital and acquired factors; living conditions, habits, level of hygiene, as well as other components that aggravate or compensate for the degree and level of complexity of any recession - single, multiple or generalised. It is advisable to continue the study of literature data to expand the classification and detail the structure of etiological factors.

This article focuses on reporting the methodology and results of the EU funded project PROCare4Life, whose main goal has been to develop an integrated, personalised, IT system, to empower and improve the Quality of Life of elderly people living with Parkinsons’, Alzheimer’s or other dementia. Research has been implemented to evaluate the results against the PROCare4Life integrated care strategy. Multimethod, quantitative, and qualitative research has been performed, benefiting from the Pilot 3 results gathered by consortium members. The article has been organised according to the research questions, which were based on the expected results by PROCare4Life that might support the future integration of care when the system is further developed and integrated into healthcare provision organisations. The PROCare4Life system is a digital tool that includes features that might support the advance of the integration of care, such as data sharing among multidisciplinary healthcare professionals and with patients and caregivers, the enhancement of direct communication among them or the constant sharing of the data monitored by the PROCare4Life system. Technology readiness levels (TRLs) 7 was achieved by the final prototype of the PROCare4Life system. Pilot representatives consider the PROCare4Life idea and underlying model of care very innovative and promising, and believe it can certainly improve care practice through more enhanced integrated care. It is usable for people of different ages, conditions, and socioeconomic levels. It has been assessed to be more effective for elderly people living with Parkinson’s than with dementia. Patients and caregivers indicated that the system helped them reduce their anxiety and increase their quality of life. Although overall assessment of the system by healthcare professionals was positive, divided opinions were shared on its capability to save time. Requirements for future scalability have been included in the last section.

Acute and long COVID-19 symptoms and associated factors in the omicron-dominant period: a nationwide survey via the online platform Wenjuanxing in China

BackgroundsTo our knowledge, there is no available nationwide data on omicron symptom patterns in China mainland. We aim to determine the acute and long COVID-19 symptoms in the omicron-dominant period and to evaluate its association with risk factors.MethodsWe designed a cross-sectional nationwide study and data about self-reported symptoms were collected by an online platform named Wenjuanxing. Eligible participants were aged 25–65 years and were symptomatic. In this study, the ratios of the number of people of different ages and genders were weighted by the data from the Seventh National Census (2020 years), and validated by a published nationwide representative study through comparing smoking rates. Descriptive indicators were calculated for demographic characteristics, diagnosis ways, and duration time, acute symptoms, hospitalization, severity and long COVID-19 symptoms. And, the associations between risk factors and acute and long COVID-19 symptoms were analyzed by multivariable logistic regression models.ResultsA total of 32,528 individuals diagnosed as COVID-19 infection from October 1, 2022 to February 21, 2023 were included. The first three acute symptoms of COVID-19 infection were fever (69.90%), headache (62.63%), and sore throat (54.29%), respectively. The hospitalization rate within 7 days was 3.07% and symptoms disappearance rate within 21 days was 68.84%, respectively. Among 3983 COVID-19 patients with 3 months or more time difference between first infection and participation into the study, the long COVID-19 rate was 19.68% and the primary symptoms were muscle weakness (19.39%), headache (17.98%) and smell/taste disorder (15.18%). Age groups, smoking, marriage status and vaccination were risk factors for numbers of acute phase symptoms and long COVID-19 symptoms. Lastly, female and current smokers also showed more numbers of symptoms during acute infection period.ConclusionsIn Chinese mainland, our respondent indicated that current smokers and women were associated with acute COVID-19 symptoms, which should be treated with caution due to the lack of representative.

Network analysis of the relationships between depressive symptoms and social participation activities among Chinese older adults and its implications for nursing

ObjectiveNetwork analysis was used to explore the complex inter-relationships between social participation activities and depressive symptoms among the Chinese older population, and the differences in network structures among different genders, age groups, and urban-rural residency would be compared. MethodsBased on the 2018 wave of the Chinese Longitudinal Healthy Longevity Survey (CLHLS), 12,043 people aged 65 to 105 were included. The 10-item Center for Epidemiologic Studies Depression (CES-D) Scale was used to assess depressive symptoms and 10 types of social participation activities were collected, including housework, tai-chi, square dancing, visiting and interacting with friends, garden work, reading newspapers or books, raising domestic animals, playing cards or mahjong, watching TV or listening to radio, and organized social activities. R 4.2.1 software was used to estimate the network model and calculate strength and bridge strength. Results21.60% (2,601/12,043) of the participants had depressive symptoms. The total social participation score was negatively associated with depressive symptoms after adjusting for sociodemographic factors. The network of social participation and depressive symptoms showed that “D9 (Inability to get going)” and “S9 (Watching TV and/or listening to the radio)” had the highest strength within depressive symptoms and social participation communities, respectively, and “S1 (Housework)”, “S9 (Watching TV and/or listening to the radio)”, and “D5 (Hopelessness)” were the most prominent bridging nodes between the two communities. Most edges linking the two communities were negative. “S5 (Graden work) - D5 (Hopelessness)” and “S6 (Reading newspapers/books) - D4 (Everything was an effort)” were the top 2 strongest negative edges. Older females had significantly denser network structures than older males. Compared to older people aged 65–80, the age group 81–105 showed higher network global strength. ConclusionsThis study provides novel insights into the complex relationships between social participation and depressive symptoms. Except for doing housework, other social participation activities were found to be protective for depression levels. Different nursing strategies should be taken to prevent and alleviate depressive symptoms for different genders and older people of different ages.

Investigation on Cognition of Cardiovascular and Cerebrovascular Diseases among Residents in Luzhou City

Objective: To investigate the cognitive level and cognitive pathway of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases among residents in Luzhou city, Sichuan Province, and analyze the influencing factors, to provide reference for formulating medical science popularization service policy and promoting the healthy development of medical industry. Methods: Multi-stage stratified sampling method and quota sampling method were used to investigate the cognition level of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases of residents in Luzhou city from three dimensions: knowledge, prevention and diagnosis and treatment. Results: The total score of the knowledge module was 30 points, and the questionnaire score (17.11±3.56) was significantly lower; The total score of prevention section was 28, and the questionnaire score was higher (25.18±2.37). The total score of diagnosis and treatment module was 35, and the questionnaire score (28.05±3.58) was low; Only 22.11% (90 people) "often actively understand" cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases, 51.35% (209 people) "occasionally pay attention",26.54%(108 people) "never care"; The main way of understanding is the Internet, news and newspapers and other media; The scores of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular disease knowledge, prevention and treatment were compared among different age groups, working hours and personal monthly income groups, and the differences were statistically significant (P &lt; 0.01). Different ages and individual monthly income have no significant effect on cognitive level, while daily working hours have a significant negative effect on cognitive level. Conclusion: The cognition level of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases of residents in Luzhou City is generally low, and the cognition level of caring about cerebrovascular disease knowledge and correct diagnosis and treatment behavior needs to be strengthened, but the prevention of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases should be paid more attention. Internet publicity, including lectures, exhibitions, competitions and other forms, should be carried out for people of different ages and occupations. By making full use of existing medical resources, mobilizing social participation, improving relevant systems and other measures, residents' cognition level and prevention and control ability of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases should be effectively improved.

ДІАГНОСТИЧНИЙ КОМПОНЕНТ НЕВІД'ЄМНА ЧАСТИНА ПРОФІЛАКТИКО-КОРЕКЦІЙНИХ ЗАХОДІВ ДЛЯ ОСІБ З ПОРУШЕННЯМ БІОМЕХАНІКИ ОПОРНО-РУХОВОГО АПАРАТУ

The purpose of the study is to systematize and generalize scientific knowledge to identify modern diagnostic tools that are used in preventive and corrective measures for people with biomechanics disorders of the musculoskeletal system. Research methods: theoretical analysis, systematization, comparison, generalization of data of scientific and methodological and special literature, general scientific methods of the theoretical level: analogy, analysis, synthesis, abstraction, induction. Results. The diversity and variety of approaches to the interpretation of the concept of the body are manifested both at the level of ordinary, mass consciousness of the practices corresponding to it, and within the limits of specialized, professional types of activity, including at the level of specific scientific and philosophical knowledge. Phenomenology assumes a social topology according to which the body is a product of social construction. Bodywork techniques and practices are authentic to social forms of being, emerge from them and are generated by them, thereby ensuring their legitimation and reproduction. Body sex, posture and plasticity begin to play an important role for gender identification in adolescence and young adulthood. The works of modern researchers present a fairly complete overview and classification of various research approaches to the study of human physicality. Conclusions. According to the results of the conducted research, it was established: underlining the increased attention of specialists to technologies and methods of diagnosing disorders of the musculoskeletal system state of people of different ages, we note the need to refine certain aspects of this process; the existence of a contradiction is an objective necessity in strengthening the health of persons of various ages with violations in musculoskeletal system, improving the quality of life and the actual insufficient practice of using diagnostic tools and corrective and preventive measures in this process; the number of effective methodical developments that ensure effective correction of musculoskeletal system violations of people of different ages is very small which requires in-depth scientific development.

Clinical profile of epilepsy in western Algeria

BackgroundEpilepsy is one of the most common neurological diseases that affects people of different ages, ethnicities, and geographical locations. The objective of the present study was to determine the demographic and clinical characteristics of epilepsy in west Algerian population.Patients and methodsWe enrolled 226 patients with epilepsy and collected data from medical records. We analyzed socio-demographic data, personal and family history, age at onset, seizure types, neurological and psychological findings, etiologies, syndromic classification and comorbidities.ResultsIn our cohort, the mean age was 27.26 ± 17.57 years and there was no gender predominance. The mean age of seizure onset was 17.11 ± 16.27 years. Genetic epilepsy was the most observed (45.13%). Focal seizures (69.02%) were more frequent than generalized seizures which were mostly represented by absence and tonic–clonic seizures. We reported 51.45% of patients with comorbidities and 16.65% with a history of traumatic brain injury.ConclusionThis is the first report describing the clinical profile and the socio-demographic features in a cohort of patients with epilepsy in the western Algeria. Our results could help to offer personalized care to our patients based on the clinical particularities of their epileptic disorders.

Factors influencing patient decision-making to undergo shoulder arthroplasty.

Shoulder arthroplasty is effective in the management of end-stage glenohumeral joint arthritis. However, it is major surgery and patients must balance multiple factors when considering the procedure. An understanding of patients' decision-making processes may facilitate greater support of those considering shoulder arthroplasty and inform the outcomes of future research. Participants were recruited from waiting lists of three consultant upper limb surgeons across two NHS hospitals. Semi-structured interviews were conducted with 12 participants who were awaiting elective shoulder arthroplasty. Transcribed interviews were analyzed using a grounded theory approach. Systematic coding was performed; initial codes were categorized and further developed into summary narratives through a process of discussion and refinement. Data collection and analyses continued until thematic saturation was reached. Two overall categories emerged: the motivations to consider surgery, and the information participants used to inform their decision-making. Motivations were, broadly, the relief of pain and the opportunity to get on with life and regain independence. When participants' symptoms and restrictions prevented them enjoying life to a sufficient extent, this provided the motivation to proceed with surgery. Younger participants tended to focus on maintaining employment and recreational activities, and older patients were eager to make the most of their remaining lifetime. Participants gathered information from a range of sources and were keen to optimize their recovery where possible. An important factor for participants was whether they trusted their surgeon and were prepared to delegate responsibility for elements of their care. Relief of pain and the opportunity to get on with life were the primary reasons to undergo shoulder arthroplasty. Participants highlighted the importance of the patient-surgeon relationship and the need for accurate information in an accessible format which is relevant to people of different ages and functional demands.

Latest Progress on Tuberculosis and HIV Co‐Infection: A Closer Look at People of Different Ages

AbstractTuberculosis (TB) and Human Immunodeficiency virus (HIV) coinfection continues to be a very serious health concern globally. Even though TB is treatable, it remains among the leading cause of death especially among HIV‐infected individuals. Although the emergence of antiretroviral therapy (ART) has positively impacted the treatment of HIV, it is a major risk factor for developing active TB disease. The treatment of HIV and TB coinfection is associated with many challenges, one of which is the requirement of treatment with multiple medications for an extended period which is faced by all infected individuals across every age group, however, some of the challenges are peculiar to a specific age range. This review provides a comprehensive analysis of HIV and TB co‐infection among persons within different age brackets and the characteristics of both diseases, their current treatment guidelines, the challenges they pose, and their impact on global health are examined and reported herein.
