Perception and Experience of Independent Consultations in Primary Healthcare among Registered Nurses in Kazakhstan: A Qualitative Study.

(1) Background: The nursing profession has undergone a significant transformation not only in a formal context but also in terms of the increased educational competencies required of nurses and their preparedness to adapt to evolving roles and statuses. The aim of our study was to examine the experience of advanced practice nurses who conduct independent consultations on patients and to identify the main challenges they face in their practice. (2) Methods: We carried out 22 semi-structured interviews with nurses responsible for conducting independent consultations across three urban polyclinics located in Aktobe, Almaty, and Astana. All interviews were audio-recorded, transcribed verbatim, and subjected to qualitative content analysis. (3) Results: The content analysis revealed three main themes: "People awareness of the role of an independent nursing appointment", "Adaptation of the work environment", and "Confidence of nurses to provide independent services". (4) Conclusions: Limited competency among nurses and the absence of quality metrics for autonomous nursing consultations present substantial obstacles to assessing and enhancing the quality of care delivered by nurses in their independent roles. Developing and implementing quality indicators for independent nursing appointment, as well as additional training within the framework of interprofessional continuous education for nurses, are important steps toward enhancing the effectiveness, safety, and accessibility of nursing care.

Prenatal Mindfulness Training and Interoceptive Awareness in Pregnant People at Risk for Hypertensive Disorders.

Aim: In this secondary analysis of a pilot randomized controlled trial (RCT), we sought to examine whether mindfulness training (MT) is associated with change in interoceptive awareness in pregnant people at risk for hypertension using quantitative and qualitative methods. Interoceptive awareness is the perception, regulation, and integration of bodily sensations. Interoceptive awareness increases following MT and has been proposed as a psychosomatic process underlying hypertension outside of pregnancy. Methods: Twenty-nine participants (mean age 32 ± 4 years; 67% White) with a history of hypertensive disorders of pregnancy (HDP) were enrolled at 16 weeks' gestation (SD = 3) for a RCT assessing the feasibility and acceptability of an 8-week phone-delivered MT intervention. Fifteen participants were randomized to MT, whereas 14 were randomized to usual prenatal care. Before and after the intervention, all participants completed the Multidimensional Assessment of Interoceptive Awareness (MAIA) measure and participated an individual interview, which queried for mind-body changes noticed across the study period. Results: Adjusting for baseline interoceptive awareness and gestational age, participants randomized to MT reported less worry about physical sensations on the MAIA after the intervention compared to those randomized to usual care. Qualitative data corroborated these results; MT participants described improved awareness of body and breath sensations, ability to notice blood pressure changes, non-judgmental observation of thoughts, and improved responses to interpersonal challenges. Conclusions: MT may improve the ability to notice body sensations that arise in pregnancy in a way that promotes healthy responding rather than worry. Results provide support for interoceptive awareness as a potential mechanism through which mindfulness may modulate blood pressure and potentially reduce the prevalence of HDP. Clinical Trial Registration: ClinicalTrials.gov (NCT03679117).

PEMIKIRAN PENDIDIKAN SYEKH AHMAD KHATIB AL MINANGKABAWI

Sheikh Ahmad Khatib is a great scholar who has a brilliant mind who cares about various problems faced by the ummah, especially in the archipelago. Various problems that arise in society, especially in Minangkabau, which he believes are not in accordance with Islamic teachings, he does not hesitate to rectify. Some of these issues relate to monotheism, Islamic law and science. Apart from that, he is also a caring scholar and has very capable concepts in the field of education. Some of the educational concepts that were his ideas include those related to Tauhid Education, Legal Education, Political Education, and Science Education. According to him, monotheism is one of the principles of religion. It is a foundation that must be planted firmly within a person. Because monotheism will underlie a person's concepts, paradigms and behavior as a whole. If monotheism is weak, then the paradigm, concepts and behavior will also be weak. On the other hand, if monotheism is strong, then the paradigm, concepts and behavior will also be strong. Another thing that concerns and thinks about Ahmad Khatib is legal issues. Even though it is not explicitly related to education, his thoughts about law have a very strong influence on people's awareness of upholding and implementing the law in accordance with what has been established by Allah and His Messenger. This means that Ahmad Khatib has indirectly provided education to the community so that they obey and comply with religious law. Another thought of Sheikh Ahmad Khatib is about Science, in this case related to the Science of Calculation and the Science of Hisab. His book related to this is "Rauda al Hussab fi 'Ilm al Hisab" (Cairo 1310/1892). This book discusses the science of arithmetic and measurement, especially as an auxiliary science for Islamic law. Meanwhile, his book "Al-Jawahir al Naqiyyah fi'l A'mal al Jaibiyyah" (Cairo 1309/1891) is a guidebook for knowledge of dates and chronology. Thus, Sheikh Ahmad Khatib really deserves to be called a figure in the field of Islamic education.

Distribution path optimization of carbon emission-reducing agricultural products in the cold chain from a green economy perspective

As people's environmental awareness improves, the development of green economy has become an important goal for countries to achieve sustainable development. The extensive generation of greenhouse gases during the cold chain logistics and distribution process poses a significant challenge to the advancement of the green economy. By utilizing an enhanced genetic algorithm (GA), this research examines the expenses associated with distributing fresh agricultural products via the cold chain and constructs a model for optimizing the path of distribution. Simulation experiments show that the total cost of this model constructed in the study is 2323.94 RMB, which is less than 2623.35 RMB of the traditional path planning model, and the carbon emission is 85 kg less. It proves that the path optimization model constructed by the research has high economic and environmental benefits, and the designed and planned path is more in line with the needs of green economy than the traditional path, which has the potential to minimize carbon emissions during the fresh agricultural product cold chain distribution process while simultaneously promoting sustainable development.

1E4-4 Proposal of a Meeting Tool Approach to Improve Safety and Health Awareness of Pre-Employed Young People

The role of bacterial genital infections in spontaneous preterm delivery: a case-control study.

Spontaneous preterm delivery is defined as the beginning of the birth process before the 37th week of pregnancy. The presence of microorganisms in the fetal membranes is accompanied by an increase in the production of prostaglandin, one of the important factors associated with the prevalence of preterm birth. The invasion of microorganisms leads to the production of protease, coagulase, and elastase, which directly stimulate the onset of childbirth. We investigated the role of genital infections in women with preterm birth. The present case-control study was conducted in the west of Iran on 100 women with spontaneous preterm delivery (following 24 weeks of gestation and before 36 weeks and 6 days) as the case group and 100 women with normal delivery as controls. A questionnaire was applied to collect the data. Polymerase chain reaction and pathological examination of the placenta were performed. The average age in women with normal delivery (30.92 ± 5.10) in women with spontaneous preterm delivery (30.27 ± 4.93). The prevalence of Chlamydia trachomatis, Neisseria gonorrhea, Listeria monocytogenes, and Mycoplasma genitalium infections was zero in both groups. The highest prevalence of Gardnerella vaginalis was 19 (19%) in the case group and Ureaplasma parvum 15 (15%) in the control group. Also, Placental inflammation was zero in controls and 7(7%) in the patient group. There was a significant relationship between Gardnerella vaginalis bacteria and spontaneous preterm delivery. The results of our study showed that except for Gardnerella vaginalis bacteria, there is no significant relationship between the above bacterial infections and spontaneous preterm birth. Moreover, despite the significant reduction in the prevalence of many sexually transmitted infections in this research, it is still suggested to increase the awareness of people, including pregnant women, about the ways it can be transmitted by gynecologists and health and treatment centers.

Community-Based View on Diagnostic Imaging at the End of COVID-19 Pandemic: Online Survey-Assisted Study.

(1) Background: An online survey-based observational cross-sectional study aimed at elucidating the experience and attitudes of an unstructured population regarding diagnostic imaging. (2) Methods: Invitations to participate were distributed using mixed-mode design to deidentified residents aged 18 years and older. Main outcome measures included morbidity structure and incidence of diagnostic imaging administrations. (3) Results: Respondents (n = 1069) aged 44.3 ± 14.4 years; 32.8% suffered from cardiovascular diseases (CVD); 9.5% had chronic respiratory pathology; 28.9% considered themselves healthy. Respondents with COVID-19 history (49.7%) reported higher rates of computed tomography (CT) (p < 0.0001), magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) (p < 0.001), and ultrasound (p < 0.05). COVID-19 history in CVD respondents shifted imaging administrations towards CT and MRI (p < 0.05). Every tenth respondent received MRI, CT, and ultrasound on a paid basis; 29.0% could not pay for diagnostic procedures; 13.1% reported unavailable MRI. Professional status significantly affected the pattern of diagnostic modalities (p < 0.05). MRI and CT availability differed between respondents in urban and rural areas (p < 0.0001). History of technogenic events predisposed responders to overestimate diagnostic value of fluorography (p < 0.05). (4) Conclusions: Preparedness to future pandemics requires the development of community-based outreach programs focusing on people's awareness regarding medical imaging safety and diagnostic value.

Development of Models by Energy Expended and Age Classifications for Diet Recommendation System

People today are more conscious of their health and constantly looking for methods to improve their health status. Due to the unavailability and inaccessibility of dieticians to recommend diet, people do not know how to plan their diet well, thereby people’s health are compromised because of unbalanced diet and misappropriation of diet. There is need to develop models that recommend diet on various classifications on the basis of energy expended daily and age. The models are mathematically represented using arithmetic expressions on different classifications: Energy expended or job/activities, health status, family size and age. The models use the rule-based statements to proffer solution to diet problems. In employing the technology, the models were implemented using a programming tool like PhP etc The DRS can be deployed on the World Wide Web and be allowed to be used by the general public for a healthy diet. The Diet Recommendation System (DRS) creates and increases people's awareness and assist them in receiving appropriate counsel as to the quantity of food, food types, time to take food, the appropriate food for certain age group, the balanced diet for a family size, the kind of food type according to the activities a person engages in.

A longevity level-oriented wellness target area identification method: a case study of Yunnan Province, China.

Aging, as a global demographic issue, is characterized by its rapid growth, which drives an increase in people's healthcare awareness. The emergence of wellness bases caters to this market demand. Therefore, the identification of potential areas suitable for wellness activities and the construction of wellness bases, referred to as Wellness Target Areas (WTAs), becomes a crucial first step. Currently, commonly used identification methods are mostly based on traditional statistical approaches, which are often complex, cumbersome, and subject to potential risks of subjective assumptions, affecting the reliability of WTAs identification results. Longevity level serves as a comprehensive indicator reflecting the natural and socio-economic environment of a region, making it the most indicative of the regional wellness environment status. This study proposes using longevity level as the benchmark for WTAs identification to simplify the identification process and reduce the impact of subjective bias on the results. The study focuses on 129 county-level units in Yunnan Province. Firstly, the Geodetector (GD) is utilized to explore the complex interaction between the longevity level and the geographical environment to determine regional wellness factors. Secondly, using ArcGIS and geographical weighted regression (GWR), the study investigates the role of different wellness factors, ultimately classifying and grading the WTAs. The longevity level in Yunnan Province exhibits a pattern of multi-point clustering, forming three major longevity regions. Factors that significantly influence longevity level include annual average precipitation, sunshine duration, PM2.5 content, per capita disposable income, density of tourist attractions, and distance from residential areas to hospitals. Based on the degree of longevity and the contribution rate of influencing factors, Yunnan Province's WTAs are classified into three levels and two types (natural and comprehensive). Our study aims to establish a connection between longevity level and the selection of wellness bases, exploring regional wellness factors through the relationship between longevity phenomena and geographical environment, identifying potential construction areas for wellness bases (i.e., WTAs), providing new insights for the precise selection of wellness bases, effectively enhancing the scientificity of site selection, promoting population health, and contributing to the global aging process with better health.

ObjectivesTo assess the understanding of people diagnosed with ovarian cancer regarding genetic testing; to understand knowledge gaps among people diagnosed with ovarian cancer that may impact best practice care; and to monitor overall changes in understanding from 2015 to 2022. DesignLongitudinal ’opt-in’ study using an online survey tool at three timepoints: 2015, 2018 and 2022. ParticipantsPeople in Australia (or their families / caregivers) diagnosed with ovarian cancer between 2010 and 2022). Main outcome measuresSelf-reported awareness of heritable risk factors for ovarian cancer, genetic testing approaches and participation in clinical trials. ResultsThe study indicated that there have been improvements in the understanding and awareness of people diagnosed with ovarian cancer regarding familial risk (an increase from 43.6% (45 of 149) in 2015 to 62.9% (166 of 264) in 2022); but people were less likely to be aware of the difference between somatic (tumour) and germline testing (120 of 266, 45.1%). However, there were self-reported improvements to clinical trial access in non-metropolitan areas (12 of 64, 18.8% in 2022 compared to 22 of 145, 15.2% in 2018), bringing it on par with metropolitan areas (32 of 169, 18.9% in 2022).
