Outdoor air pollution is one of the biggest environmental risks to public health and a problem that affects everyone in low-, middle- and high-income countries. Particulate matter (PM) is a common air pollutant consisting of a mixture of solid and liquid particles suspended in the air. PM2.5 and PM10 are the most common and are health related. The World Health Organization declared Particulate Matter (PM) as a carcinogen in 2013. The aim of this study was to calculate how much of the adult deaths aged 30 and over in Konya can be attributed to outdoor air pollution caused by PM2.5 pollutant. AirQ+ software was used to calculate the cases of deaths attributed to PM10 and PM2.5. The results show that 2163 premature deaths in 2017, 1582 in 2018 and 1278 in 2019 from long-term exposure to PM2.5 could be prevented if the PM2.5 concentration in the region does not exceed the recommended threshold of 10 µg/m3. Air pollution level is quite high in Konya. In the calculation made using AirQ+ software, the death rate attributable to air pollution in the population aged 30 and over was high, similar to previous studies in Turkey. The findings show that many premature deaths can be prevented by preventing air pollution.

Nearly 11% of the European population is affected by energy poverty. Energy poverty is defined by the European Commission (2016) as the inability to afford basic energy services to guarantee a decent standard of living. Energy poverty is considered a complex, multidimensional problem that affects environment, housing, urban development, and health. Living in energy poverty conditions is associated with poorer human health and wellbeing. Hence, the WELLBASED intervention programme aims to design, implement and evaluate a comprehensive urban programme, based on the social-ecological model, to reduce energy poverty and its effects on the citizens' health and wellbeing in six European urban study sites: Valencia, Spain; Heerlen, The Netherlands; Leeds, United Kingdom; Edirne, Turkey; Obuda, Hungary, and; Jelgava, Latvia.A controlled trial is performed. A total of 875 participants are recruited (125-177 per study site) to receive the WELLBASED intervention programme for 12 months (intervention condition) and 875 participants act as controls (control condition). Data will be collected with a baseline measurement at inclusion (T0), and follow-up measurements after 6 months (T1), 12 months (T2), and 18 months (T3). In both study arms, effects of the WELLBASED intervention programme are measured: health-related quality of life (HR-QoL), mental health, frailty in older adults, self-perceived health, chronic conditions, and care utilization. At the same time points, household expenditure on energy and energy consumption are obtained. In the intervention arm, health-monitoring data (i.e. peak flow, oxygen saturation, blood pressure, and heart rate) are obtained monthly and sleep quality with a three-month interval. Household data with regard to temperature, humidity and air quality are collected near real-time by home sensors. Qualitative interviews are conducted in each study site to evaluate the impacts of the WELLBASED intervention programme and to help explain findings.The WELLBASED intervention programme will provide new insights into the effectiveness of a comprehensive urban programme to tackle energy poverty and its effects on health and wellbeing across Europe. Hence, this study can contribute to European-wide replicable solutions for policy-makers and city practitioners to alleviate energy poverty.ISRCTN registry number is ISRCTN14905838 .

Aim: In this study, the information technology and health informatics knowledge readiness of Turkish physicians were evaluated. Methods: In the evaluation of the Information Technology Dimension, basic computer usage, health informatics concepts and privacy in health informatics were evaluated by a questionnaire. Results: When the science education dimension and survey data were evaluated, it was observed that the male participants’ information technology readiness was higher than the female participants' information technology readiness. The average score of physicians was 3.5 in our study and it needs a personal effort to have a better information technology skills level. Another observation is that the informatics education dimension changes according to the age group, and it is determined that the participants at the early ages have more qualifications in terms of education. Conclusion: Likewise, it is one of the results obtained in the evaluation of the data that young physicians have higher information technology skills. When the data were evaluated in terms of academic title, it was observed that informatics education was affected according to the academic title and basic computer usage skills were not affected by the title, but the information about health informatics was affected by the academic title. Keywords: information technology, readiness, health informatics

Objective: It has been reported that energy drink usage is
 increasing worldwide despite reports of severe adverse health
 effects. This study aimed to explore pre-clinical medical
 students’ attitudes and perceptions in relation to energy drinks.
 Materials and Methods: This was a questionnaire-based
 descriptive study of pre-clinical medical students attending a
 public medical school in Istanbul, Turkey. Questions covered
 the students’ sociodemographic characteristics, personal
 habits (e.g., smoking and alcohol consumption), energy drink
 perceptions and energy drink consumption, and their experience
 of side effects from energy drinks. Chi-square tests were used to
 compare the categorical data.
 Results: The mean age of the participants was 21.27 ±
 1.37 (range: 19-28) years, and 54.0% (n: 81) were females and
 46.0% (n: 69) were males. Overall, 68.0% (n: 102) reported that
 they had consumed an energy drink at least once in their lives,
 with 29.4% of these reporting use in combination with alcohol,
 22.6% reporting use before exams, 20.6% reporting use before
 a physical activity, 13.7% reporting use to relieve fatigue, and
 48.0% reporting that they had only tried an energy drink out of
 curiosity.
 Conclusion: A large number of participants tried energy
 drinks out of curiosity, but energy drink consumption was quite
 common in combination with alcohol. Case studies are needed to
 provide detailed information on the actual adverse health effects
 of energy drinks, but in the meantime, energy drink consumption
 should not be encouraged. Health care providers should educate
 children and families for the adverse effects of energy drinks.

The national office for public health (Bundesamt für Gesundheitswesen) aims to integrate the specific features of its target groups into its health promotion and prevention activities. This same strategy was applied to target the immigrant population. Initially these activities exclusively addressed prevention of Aids in immigrants from Spain, Portugal and Turkey. After 1993 they were extended to a wider range of issues and target groups. Women's health was one of the main topics which were added and activities were extended to groups from Africa, Latin America and to asylum seekers. Since 1995 drug and alcohol addiction became additional targets. In the course of these new activities groups from Italy and former Yugoslavia have also been addressed with respect to the various health promotion and prevention programmes. The cornerstones of the programme are (1) collaboration with the countries of origin of the various immigrant groups, (2) involvement of the target groups into the various activities and (3) the creation of awareness within Swiss institutions, organisations and immigrant administration offices towards specific problems of immigrants and their involvement into the various activities. A wide range of strategies have been employed which have already been evaluated. Amongst others those are training of health workers, who are themselves members of the various target groups, information events in immigrant clubs, telephone counselling in various languages. The results of the evaluation, problems and prospects for the future will be presented.

In our previous published study conducted in 2006 before the national tobacco control program (NTCP), we found that working adolescents (WA) more frequently consumed cigarettes than high school students (HSS). The objective of the present study was to compare the smoking status of WA and HSS before and after the NTCP.A questionnaire including questions about the participant`s socio-economic level and smoking status was administered.There were 668 subjects in the 2006 study and 869 subjects in the 2015 study. When we compared the 2015 results with the 2006 study, while there was a significant decline in the ever smokers (p < 0.001), there was no difference in current smokers in both the female and male WA groups. In the HSS group, there was a significant decline in ever smokers (p < 0.01), for both females and males. While there was a significant decline in current female smokers (p=0,002), no significant decrease was found in current male smokers (p > 0.05) in the HSS group.After the initiation of the NTCP, we have not seen a reduction in the smoking rates of both female and male WA and male HSS. The NTCP should particularly focus on the adolescent group in Turkey.

<bold>The idea of public sociology in its global form was inspired by sociological practice in South Africa, conceptualized as ‘critical engagement’, when the US sociologist Michael Burawoy visited the country in the 1990s. This volume explores the trajectory of critical engagement before and after Burawoy’s visit, comparing this to the trajectory of ‘public sociology’, which was forged in the very different context of US sociology. Contributors to the edited volume reflect on three decades of dialogue and concept formation between the dominant sociology of the North and the emergent sociology of the South. They use this to interrogate deeply the contradictions, challenges and profound contribution of social science research to popular struggle – and the equally profound contribution of popular struggles to the formation of new sociological knowledge. Authors located in South Africa wrote the majority of the chapters, but the book also includes contributions from Chile and Turkey as points of comparison across the Global South. The book engages historically and conceptually with critical engagement as an evolving practice, as well as research practices in and around the Society, Work and Politics Institute in Johannesburg over the past decade, in order to deepen our understanding of the methodologies and processes of knowledge formation that characterize critically engaged research.</bold>

Introduction:As the risk of infection in a pandemic is determined by both the individual's behavior and the object being interacted with, understanding how information-seeking behaviors and risk perceptions is critical for public health outcomes. Materials and Methods:This study aimed to analyze interrelated digital footprint data on the internet between January 1 and May 1, 2020 in Turkey.The first data were about search on measures to reduce the spread of Coronavirus disease-2019 (COVID-19) on Google.The second data were obtained from web research using terms related to COVID-19 such as "Coronavirus" and "Koronavirüs" on Google.In addition, this study aimed to examine whether there was a correlation between Google search volumes on measures to reduce the spread of COVID-19 and the total number of confirmed COVID-19 cases, recoveries, and deaths.Results: Until the virus was detected in Turkey, it is observed that many COVID-19 related web searches were conducted.The apex point was seen around March 11, 2020, when the first case was announced in the country.The continuous high search volumes about COVID-19 were 28 days from March 11 to April 8, 2020, and a diminishing trend in web searches was observed after April 8.A strong positive correlation was found between the search terms "Corona" and measures to reduce the spread of the virus.On the other hand, there is a strong negative correlation between search volumes and the number of COVID-19.Conclusions: As countries endeavor to flatten the pandemic curve and reduce deaths and long-term restrictions, understanding how individuals respond to this situation has become more important than ever for the ultimate solution to the current crisis.Therefore, authorities should further strengthen/raise national awareness of COVID-19 and keep the public informed.

The burden of antimicrobial-resistance, specifically carbapenem-resistance in gram-negative bacteria (CRGN), presents a serious public health threat worldwide. In Europe, Southern and Eastern countries (SEC) display a higher CRGN-prevalence as compared to Northern and Western countries (NWC). Since SEC also display lower nurse-density on average, we hypothesized that the occurrence of CRGN might correlate with nurse understaffing and therefore aimed at quantifying a potential independent effect of nurse-density on total CRGN in Europe.A 30-country cross-sectional study was conducted. Cumulative six-year CRGN-prevalence (2011-2016) in four gram-negative bacterial species was determined based on > 700 k clinical invasive isolates (EARS-net). We performed multivariable log-linear regression to provide estimations of the effect of nurse-density while adjusting to various health-system variables.Multivariable analysis (adj.-R2 ~ 93%) suggested an average 0.4% [95%-CI 0.2-1.0%] CRGN-increase due to a decrement of one practicing nurse per week of hospital-stay of one population individual. Our modeling provided CRGN-estimations in two non-EARS-net countries (Switzerland and Turkey), which were almost equal to empirically estimated values (CAESAR-Network). Furthermore, a nurse-density-dependent moderation of the inter-species distribution balance was a likely pathway of the observed effect. These observations were specific for CRGN, in contrast to other resistance types in the same species.This is the first attempt of quantifying potential nurse-density effects on antimicrobial-resistance at national level. Our results suggest an increase in CRGN by decreasing nurse-density. Nurse-density is thus a novel factor that might improve our understanding of the unbalanced CRGN-distribution among sub-European regions. Consequently, integrating nurse-density in future AMR-policies could be beneficial.

The workplace has been deemed a suitable location for educating many women at once about cancer screening.To determine how group education about early diagnostic methods for breast and cervical cancer effects women's behavior and readiness to receive mammography and Pap smear.This semi-interventional study was conducted at a textile factory in Istanbul, Turkey. Female workers (n= 125) were included in the study. A participant identification form and knowledge evaluation form developed for this study, along with the transtheoretical model, were used to collect data. A 45-min interactive group education was given to the participants.Upon contacting participants 3 months after group education, 15.4% (n = 11) stated that they had since received a mammogram and 9.8% (n = 7) a Pap smear. As suggested by the transtheoretical model, group education increased participants' readiness to receive cancer screening, along with their knowledge of breast and cervical cancer.Group education positively impacted women's knowledge of cancer and their readiness to receive mammography and Pap smear.

The construction sector is a challenging sector where many stakeholders have to work together to ensure occupational health and safety. Workers are the most important actors in ensuring a safe climate. Therefore, the workers’ perceptions of work safety are very substantial in a construction site. This study aims to investigate the work safety perceptions of the workers having different job descriptions in the construction industry. A questionnaire was applied to 130 workers in different job positions at a residential building construction site in Turkey. The workers’ perceptions were asked in four categories: construction work safety, coworkers’ safety attitude, occupational health and safety specialists’ safety attitude, and site manager’s safety attitude. For analysis, the relative importance index was calculated, and ANOVA analysis was used. The results showed that (1) the workers’ work safety perceptions were limited with their job description, (2) the cultural structure of the employees may prevent workers from being impartial in evaluating safety issues, (3) and considering different workgroups’ safety needs and ensuring participation in the safety issues are compulsory for safety managers. The findings of the study are expected to contribute to improvements in safety management practices of safety management actors.

BackgroundSince the start of the Syrian war in 2011, 250 000 Syrians have sought asylum in Greece, and more than 1 million people have attempted to reach other countries in the European Union by travel through Greece. Migrants face a myriad of poor mental health outcomes, including major depression requiring treatment. However, the prevalence of major depression among Syrians undergoing the asylum process—a potential window for intervention—has not been reported. This study quantified the prevalence of major depression among Syrian migrants in a refugee camp setting.MethodsWe did a cross-sectional survey via face-to-face interviews in a Syrian refugee camp in Greece from January 16–31, 2017. Individuals aged 18 years or older, residing in the refugee camp, and with verbal Arabic or English language skills were eligible to participate. The Patient Health Questionnaire-8 (PHQ-8) was used to evaluate depression. Sociodemographic and displacement data were collected using a standardised instrument. The study was approved by the Harvard T H Chan School of Public Health (Protocol IRB16-2015) and all participants provided oral informed consent.Findings135 surveys were completed, with a response rate of 97%, representing 38% of the adult population in the refugee camp. The mean age of participants was 31·4 years (range 18–61 years); 40·7% of the sample was female; 74·4% of the participants had ever married; and 67·2% had children. 33·4% of participants had not attended secondary school, including 11·4% who had never attended school. The median time spent in the asylum process in Greece was 10 months (<1–49 months). Major depression was detected in 43·7% (95% CI 37·2–50·4) of participants. 20·7% of participants reported no symptoms of depression, and 35·6% were found to have mild depression.InterpretationSyrian migrants face an extraordinarily high burden of major depression as they seek asylum. The high prevalence of major depression may be explained by the particular plight of fleeing the Syrian war, the social and physical conditions in the refugee camp, as well as the protracted asylum process—a period extending beyond 1 year in Greece since the adoption of the EU–Turkey Statement. The incorporation of screening and treatment into service provision within refugee camps is urgently needed, particularly in the context of delayed asylum procedures.FundingInternational Data Responsibility Group.

Background and Aims: This study was conducted in order to identify the role of community pharmacists in public health and the public health related problems which are encountered. Methods: In this cross-sectional study, 87 community pharmacists answered a questionnaire form about sociodemographic characteristics, public health counseling roles and barriers. The data was summarized as mean ± standard deviation and percentage. Chi-square test was used to compare the categorical data. Results: 93.1% of the community pharmacists considered that they had an active role in the protection of public health, while the percentage of those who thought they were able to realized it was 78.2%. Limited authority (63.2%), insufficient time and workload (52.6%) were the leading causes of ineffectivity of the pharmacists in public health. The causes that prevented receiving consultancy services were shame (64.4%), the education level of the client (51.7%) and gender difference between the pharmacist and client (48.3%). The pharmacists thought that their professional reputation should be improved in order to improve their consulting role (35%). Conclusion: Although there are many occupational problems of pharmacists in Turkey, pharmacists voluntarily provide a consultacy service about many subjects for the protection of public health. Legal arrangements are needed to make pharmacies public health counseling centers.

Clinical examinations based on World Health Organization criteria were conduced. The participation rate was 97% (n = 591) for the children, 87% (n = 533) for the mothers, and 95% (n = 584) for the clinical examinations. Multiple linear regression, descriptive statistics, Spearman correlation coefficient and chi-square test were applied.Private school children's mothers were more likely to have had higher education (95% at least high school) than public school children's mothers (11%); they reported better dental health (above average) than did mothers of public school children (p = 0.001). Among all mothers, those with above average self-reported dental health reported more regular dental visits than did those with below average scores (p = 0.001). Frequency of regular dental visits and toothbrushing among children attending public schools (5%, 65%) were lower than those attending private school (43%, 79%), (p = 0.001). The mean DMFS was negatively correlated with self-reported dental health (r(s) = -0.187, p = 0.001). Toothbrushing frequency and school performance were the common factors positively associated with self-reported dental health, among all children.The results emphasize the important role of mothers and their socio-economic background in enhancement of children's dental health. Their active role in conjunction with the potential of self-assessment provides a good basis for establishing and improving self-care among children, in developing countries in particular.

Background Occupational pesticide poisoning is an important public health concern worldwide, especially in developing countries. Objectives This study was aimed at determining the prevalence and risk factors of acute pesticide poisoning (APP) among the vegetable and fruit farmers in Karacabey District in northwest Turkey. Methods The study group consisted of 565 farmers. The dependent variable of the study is APP defined according to the World Health Organization's APP case definition matrix. The study's independent variables are the farmers' sociodemographic characteristics and the preventive measures they use when they are applying pesticides. The chi-square and logistic regression analysis analyzed the relationship between the dependent and independent variables. Results A total of 64 (11.3%) farmers reported APP and 75% of them presented to a health institution due to symptoms. The factors associated with increased risk of APP were: illiteracy (odds ratio (OR)=2.5), 14 years and less farming experience (OR=3.3), not reading the pesticide labels (OR=6.4), and contact with liquid pesticides (OR=2.3). -Conclusions: The study shows that approximately one out of ten farmers experience APP. Training programs should be planned and monitored to improve farmers' awareness of the dangers of pesticides, and they should be encouraged to adopt and implement protective measures.

May 31 is World No Tobacco Day. This year's theme is tobacco industry interference, chosen, in WHO's words, “to expose and counter the tobacco industry's brazen and increasingly aggressive attempts to undermine the WHO Framework Convention on Tobacco Control (WHO FCTC)”.In its 2008 report Tobacco industry interference with tobacco control, WHO outlines “the long history and the extent of tobacco industry efforts to avoid, delay and dilute” effective tobacco control policies. Key methods include lobbying, political donations, exploiting legislative loopholes, undermining or countering research, and funding groups or individuals to advance the tobacco industry's objectives. Examples include the industry's attempts to counter research by the International Agency for Research on Cancer that showed the link between passive smoking and lung cancer, and to undermine the US Environmental Protection Agency's assessment of the risks associated with second-hand smoke. Direct funding of business analysts, scientists, and even historians has been important in promoting the interests of the tobacco industry over those of public health.In China, the tobacco industry continues to exert major influence, despite China's ratification of the FCTC in 2005. A glimmer of hope for change rests with China's 12th 5-year Plan, which mentions tobacco control for the first time, and calls for smoke-free public places. Moreover, at the launch of the 2012 China themed issue of The Lancet in Shanghai on March 31, Health Minister Chen Zhu pledged to ramp up tobacco control at provincial and local levels.In Turkey, where tobacco control efforts are reducing smoking rates, tobacco production still generates substantial revenue for the government, and greater scrutiny of the tobacco industry is warranted. The bid to introduce plain packaging for cigarettes in Australia has led to trademark violation claims by the industry, and even claims under bilateral investment treaties, along with other defensive strategies.There is no sign of weakening of the tobacco industry's resolve to counter control measures. Tackling industry interference with tobacco control continues to be an essential component of public health strategy, and is likely to remain so for the foreseeable future.

In 1978, public health authorities, by means of large-scale control operations, succeeded in containing a severe malaria epidemic that had reached alarming proportions in the Cukurova and Amikova plains of southern Turkey. The benefits derived from this intervention are indirectly quantified in this article by estimating the number of cases that would have ocurred in the area if remedial measures had not been applied.For this purpose a simple mathematical model was fitted to both the number of cases in January (seasonal minimum) and the number of cases in July/August (seasonal maximum) that were recorded during the years 1976, 1977, and the beginning of 1978; the incidence trend from 1978 onwards was then determined by projection. By this method, it was possible to estimate that in the absence of intervention the projected annual parasite incidence would have been 75.4 per 1000 in 1978 instead of the observed incidence of 24.5 per 1000. According to the forecast, this incidence would have reached 100.9 per 1000 in 1979, 115.1 per 1000 in 1980, to arrive at a final stable level of 129.4 per 1000, if intervention measures had not been applied.Comparison of the number of malaria cases actually detected in 1978 (70 468) with the number projected in the absence of intervention (226 252) seems to indicate that about 2/3 of the expected cases were prevented in 1978 by the remedial measures applied.

Objectives: In Turkey, Breastfeeding Promotion and Baby-Friendly Health Facilities Program (BFHF) was launched in 1991 with the collaboration of the Ministry of Health (MoH) and United Nations International Children’s Emergency Fund (UNICEF). Since 2002, the program has been extended from hospitals to the primary health care services and the community level. This paper aims to present the current status of BFHF and development of new strategies to revitalize the program and thus, to contribute to the progress. Materials and Methods: All information about health facilities and provinces was collected from the database of the Child and Adolescent Health Department. Discussions about Initiative with stakeholder institutions and baby-friendly advocates took place in the National Breastfeeding Committee Meeting and in Annual Breastfeeding Symposium. Then a SWOT (strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, threats) analysis of the Program was performed by the working group. Using this analysis results, new strategies and course of action were identified. Results: The current number of baby-friendly hospitals has reached a total of 1051(69.42% of all hospitals). Of those, 46 were maternity hospitals, which were 93.50% approved as baby-friendly at the end of 2017. Between 2008 and 2017, 120 (%11.42) of those pre-certified hospitals were reassessed. Between 2002 and 2013, all 81 provinces have been designated Baby-Friendly Provinces. Since 2008, 61 of the 81 provinces have been designated Golden Baby-Friendly Provinces and 95% of Family Medicine Units have been certified as baby-friendly. According to the SWOT analysis result, the main strength of the program was strong recognition and support of the BFHF by the government. The difficulties in maintaining of baby-friendly standards in health facilities and inadequate reassessment of pre-certified facilities were determined as the main weaknesses of the BFHF by the working group. Conclusion: To protect, promote and support breastfeeding effectively and to reach the national and global breastfeeding goals, interventions should be planned in a combination of settings by concurrently involving health policies, health systems, home, family and the community.

Although the causes of mortality and morbidity vary among countries, geographies, cultures and races, today the disease structure has been differentiated and in the 21st century the first order received noncommunicable diseases. In non-communicable disease protection primary protection is 4 times more effective than secondary and tertiary protection. The basis of primary prevention is the periodic health examinations, mainly immunization and counseling. In this context, one of the most important methods recommended for the implementation of preventive health services is periodical health examinations with standards set by various national and international organizations. Periodic health check-up is defined as regular health check-up in order to contribute to the preservation of health through healthy screening, examination and laboratory testing, counseling and health education of healthy persons who are not yet showing signs of illness. In primary prevention measures, it is emphasized that the role of service providing units is very important. With this research, it is aimed that the knowledge, attitude and behaviours of family physicians providing primary healthcare service throughout the country towards “Periodic Health and/or Physical Examinations and Healthcare Screening Guidelines Proposed in the Family Medicine Practice”, which is advisory, are defined. The questionnaire formulated on the basis of the recommended screening guide in Turkey was uploaded online on the Family Medicine Distance Learning Platform (in Tr. abbr. AHUZEM) and 20,518 registered family physicians in AHUZEM were asked to respond to the form. The family physician responded to the questionnaire on AHUEM for 23 days from 2014 to 13 February 2014 for 20 days. At the end of the study, general knowledge average of family physicians was calculated as 3,28, attitude average of 3,47 and behavior average of 2,65. In addition, it was evaluated that family physicians' knowledge concerning the periodic health examination and health screening guidelines proposed for our country is at almost medium-level and even if the level for their attitudes is higher than their knowledge level, they do not turn on the same plane into behaviour.

On August 8, 2008, employees at a Wisconsin county jail noted nausea, vomiting, and diarrhea among more than 100 inmates during the early morning inspection. Seven inmates were seen by the jail nurse that morning. Following jail protocol, guards gave at least 60 inmates bismuth subsalicylate to relieve symptoms, and the jail nurse notified local health department staff members, who suspected a foodborne outbreak at the jail and initiated an investigation. This report summarizes the findings of an investigation by the Wisconsin Division of Public Health (WDPH) and the local health department, which determined the outbreak was caused by eating casserole containing ground turkey and beef (relative risk [RR] = 25.1) that was served during the evening meal on August 7. Clostridium perfringens enterotoxin was detected in stool samples collected from six ill inmates, and 43,000 CFU/g of the organism were isolated from a remaining sample of casserole. An environmental investigation determined the casserole was made with food items that were prepared and stored improperly. Proper food preparation and storage methods are especially important in large institutions such as jails and prisons, where large amounts of foods are prepared and served at one time.

Objective: A residential environment refers to the physical and social characteristics in a neighbourhood. The physical characteristics include interior housing qualities, exterior neighbourhood characteristics, and the accessibility of essential facilities and services outside the neighbourhood. Older adults especially may be vulnerable to the negative impacts of the residential environment. The aim of this study is to elucidate the problems ageing people face in their neighbourhoods, buildings and public areas. Methods: The study group consisted of a total of 1,001 people over the age of 65 who were admitted to physical medicine and rehabilitation clinics in Turkey and consented to participate. A questionnaire covering demographic, social and environmental information was used. Results: Of the study group, 58.6% was living in an apartment building, but only 23.6% of these buildings had an elevator, and the stairs were inconvenient in 46.7% of the buildings. Only 49% of the elderly people went for a walk regularly. The most frequent complaint about the hospitals, community health centres and other public areas was the inappropriate restroom conditions. Eighty-six percent of the study group were not members of an organization, a foundation or a group, and 73.6% did not have personal hobbies. Conclusions: The layouts of buildings and surroundings are inappropriate for older people, and the opportunities for them to participate in social activities are limited. Health and social programmes and governmental and local policies for older people are needed, and public awareness about this issue should be raised.

Many infectious diseases, including Tuberculosis (TB), have been put in the background with the COVID-19 pandemic. This study aimed to evaluate the changes in the number of TB patients, the parameters of the TB patients and tuberculosis control programs in the first year of the COVID-19 pandemic in Turkey when compared to the previous year.All TB patients who were recorded in Samsun province between March 1, 2019 and February 28, 2021 were included in this retrospective study. The data were analyzed in 2 groups as the COVID-19 period (March 2020 and February 2021) and the Pre-COVID-19 period (March 2019 and February 2020),the demographic and microbiological characteristics of the tuberculosis patients in both periods were compared according to months and years p < 0.05 was considered statistically significant.The total number of TB patients was 320, although it was 172 in the Pre-COVID-19 period, it was 148 in the COVID-19 pandemic period. It was found that the TB incidence rate (IR) was 15.32%, the total number of examinations performed in TB dispensary decreased 33.54%, and the total number of contact examinations decreased by 53.54% during the pandemic period. The mean age of the patients decreased significantly during the COVID-19 period (p = 0.047), and it was found that culture positivity rates and smear positivity rates increased compared to the previous year (7.97%, p = 0.166, 1.86%; p = 0.507, respectively). SARS-CoV-2 PCR test result was found to be (-) in 46 (82.1%) of the 56 TB patients who were examined.In the present study, it was found that the incidence of TB, the number of examinations, and the number of contact examinations decreased at significant levels. The decrease in TB patients was mostly in the first 3 months when COVID-19 precautions and restrictions were intense. As a conclusion, it was observed that the application of TB patients to the healthcare institution and TB control were affected negatively by the COVID-19 pandemic.

Purpose: This study aims to examine the graduate thesis on the topic of health literacy in Turkey. It is thought that the graduate thesis may be useful in order to identify the problems of health institutions and public health. For this reason, in this study, it is aimed to draw attention to health literacy by providing the appearance of theses on health literacy and to provide information to those who will study on this issue. Material and Methods: In this study, theses obtained from the thesis database of Council of Higher Education were examined. Theses were examined according to various variables (level, language, university, etc.). Abstracts of the theses whose full text has not been reached were examined. Results: In this study, it was determined that a total of 91 subjects were investigated in 68 theses dealing with health literacy. It was determined that most of the theses were written in 2018, most of the theses (91.2%) used questionnaire as data collection tool, the patients were in the first place in the research group of the theses, health literacy level and determinants were in the first place in terms of subject distribution. The number of theses on health literacy has increased significantly in recent years. Conclusion: Considering the multidisciplinary and multi-stakeholder structure of health literacy, the issue of health literacy can be studied especially on disadvantaged groups in further studies. These disadvantaged groups include the poor, the elderly, those with low social status, immigrants and physically disabled people.

This research aims to reveal the temporal changes and spatial patterns of Bovine Tuberculosis (bTB) in Turkey in the last 16 years using OIE and MoAF data. Considering the zoonotic character and socio-economic impact of the disease, the rapid increase in the number of bTB outbreaks has reached alarming levels recently. As a matter of fact, around 20-fold increase in the number of outbreaks between 2005 and 2020 clearly shows this. In the same period, the compensation payment of approximately 611 million new TL (₺) for 168,244 cattle that were conditionally slaughtered and died due to illness reveals the economic impact of the disease. Also, it is known that human cases are caused by M. bovis, although at a low rate (5.3%). In parallel with the increase in the number of bTB outbreaks, it has spread throughout the country (except for some provinces) geographically. It is important to fight bTB disease effectively, to reduce the risks to public health and the socio-economic losses caused by the disease. For this reason, it is extremely important to monitor the temporal course of the disease outbreaks epidemiologically and to reveal their spatial patterns at various scales. For an effective fight against bTB, it is vital to monitor, analyze, and put into practice the temporal changes and spatial distribution dynamics of all the variables (especially animal movements) of the transmission dynamics in the epidemiology of the disease.

Frontline healthcare workers (HCWs) play the most essential role, especially since the Covid-19 breakout, providing care for patients all over the world. In the context of Covid-19, thousands of healthcare workers were infected and hundreds of them have died. Since there is no systematic reporting system of infected healthcare workers, it is difficult to track down current and accurate data. While national reports help to understand the severity of the infection among HCW, yet global data is lacking. Therefore we aimed to gather nationwide information regarding HCW infections. After a collective search through international resources, we gathered a count of 708 deaths among HCWs until April 27, 2020, which represents 0.35% of total global deaths. Among those 708 deaths, 365 (51.5%) of them were doctors and 126 (17.79%) were nurses (Table 1).9 The mean age of the HCWs was 58. Total of 52 countries were recorded. Highest number of deaths was recorded in Italy (153), which is followed by United States of America (USA) (135), Iran (84), England (70) and Turkey (26). With respect to their heroic efforts, we aimed to gather and report these 708 fighters who have given their lives saving others throughout the globe.

Malaria is the world's most important tropical parasitic disease. Malaria is a public health problem today in more than 90 countries. Worldwide prevalence of the disease is estimated to be in the order of 300-500 million clinical cases each year. Malaria is endemic in a total of 101 countries and territories. In Romania, malaria does not represent an important public health problem. In 1999, there were reported a total number of 32 malaria cases in Romanian people. 78% from these recognized as etiological agent Pl. falciparum. The malaria cases imported from Turkey (5) have had as etiological agent Pl. vivax. The most affected age group is between 21-50 years and a distribution by profession shows that sailor personnel accounts for 65.6% of all cases. Africa remains the most important endemic region from where the malaria cases in Romanian people are imported. An adequate chemoprophylaxis is not, yet, easy to obtain for Romanian people who are travelling abroad in endemic countries because of the lack of specific drugs (especially for resistant forms of Pl. falciparum). Even if the Romanian Ministry of Health had elaborated orders regarding malaria and Cloroquine is the usual drug administered, as chemoprophylaxis, to Romanian people who travel abroad, in each year in our country appears around 30-60 imported malaria cases. That is the cause why Romanian Ministry of Health wants to solve this problem which is the major cause of the malaria cases in Romanian people.

Influenza is a public health problem that affects 5-20% of the world population annually causing high morbidity and mortality especially in risk groups. In addition to determining prevention and treatment strategies with vaccines and antivirals, surveillance data plays an important role in combat against influenza. Surveillance provides valuable data on characteristics of influenza activity, on types, sub-types, antigenic properties and antiviral resistance profile of circulating viruses in a given region. The first influenza surveillance was initiated as a pilot study in 2003 by now named National Influenza Reference Laboratory, Istanbul Faculty of Medicine. Surveillance was launched at national level by Ministry of Health in 2004 and two National Influenza Laboratories, one in Istanbul and the other in Ankara, have been conducting surveillance in Turkey. Surveillance data obtained for nine consecutive years, 2003-2012, by National Influenza Reference Laboratory in Istanbul Faculty of Medicine have been summarized in this report. During 2003-2012 influenza surveillance seasons, a total of 11.077 nasal swabs collected in viral transport medium were sent to the National Influenza Reference Laboratory, Istanbul for analysis. Immun-capture ELISA followed by MDCK cell culture was used for detection of influenza viruses before 2009 and real-time RT-PCR was used thereafter. Antigenic characterizations were done by hemagglutination inhibition assay with the reactives supplied by World Health Organization. Analysis of the results showed that influenza B viruses have entered the circulation in 2005-2006 seasons, and have contributed to the epidemics at increasing rates every year except in the 2009 pandemic season. Influenza B Victoria and Yamagata lineages were cocirculating for two seasons. For other seasons either lineage was in circulation. Antigenic characterization revealed that circulating B viruses matched the vaccine composition either partially or totally for only three seasons. Influenza A(H1N1) and A(H3N2) subtypes were in circulation since the beginning of the surveillance in 2003-2004 season either alone or in cocirculation. After the 2009 pandemic, A(H1N1) viruses were replaced by A(H1N1)pdm09. A(H1N1) and A(H1N1)pdm09 viruses matched the vaccine composition for all seasons. However, A(H3N2) viruses matched the vaccine composition in only three out of eight seasons. Analysis of the data revealed that, (a) influenza season has extended in Turkey and it lasts through May; (b) influenza peaks in different age groups depending on the season; (c) every year a different influenza type and subtype dominates the season; (d) influenza B has been circulating with increasing rate especially in the past six seasons. Influenza surveillance provides valuable data that can guide policy makers in developing programmes to prevent and reduce influenza burden. Therefore, addition of hospital based surveillance to general practice based sentinel surveillance will take influenza surveillance one step ahead in meeting the need for collecting data on severe influenza cases which will allow assessment of burden of influenza more reliably.

This study aimed to evaluate the functionality and quality of breast cancer apps that can be accessed from Turkey. In this study, a systematic search strategy was used to identify free mobile apps on breast cancer available in the App and Google Play stores. According to the study’s PRISMA flowchart, 707 apps met the inclusion criteria. The Mobile App Rating Scale (MARS) assessed the quality of the apps. Mobile apps focused on the categories of communication, education, and treatment order/plan. The mean MARS quality score for all apps was 3.4, and according to the mean score of the subscales, they were categorized as functionality, aesthetics, information quality, and participation. In addition, the mean scores of the subscales were listed on MARS as functionality, aesthetics, knowledge quality, and participation. Nowadays, “e-health” apps are attracting attention in the treatment of health problems. While the apps in download stores appear to provide basic information about breast cancer, they offer limited and personalized problem management related to prevention, early detection, and screening. Support from healthcare professionals and further efforts can be made to develop innovative technologies and apps that include evidence-based informational content about breast cancer. In the process of breast cancer information, survivors can be encouraged to manage this process using e-health services.

Electronic cigarette (e-cigarette) use, or vaping, is increasing against a backdrop of declining smoking rates. E-cigarettes contain fewer toxicants than cigarettes, but their appearance and mode of use has the potential to satisfy the habitual aspects of smoking. To date, we know little about lay perceptions of the safety of using e-cigarettes in pregnancy.We conducted a thematic discourse analysis of 13 online discussion forum threads that discussed e-cigarette use during pregnancy. We focused on the major discursive strategies that forum posters used to debate the safety of e-cigarette use during pregnancy.We identified three distinct ways in which forum posters debated the safety of using e-cigarettes during pregnancy: 1) quitting (nicotine) cold turkey is unsafe, 2) vaping is the lesser of two evils, and 3) vaping is not worth the risk.Discussions about the safety of e-cigarettes drew on the premise that 1) immediate cessation of nicotine was potentially harmful and unsafe, 2) e-cigarettes were a harm reduction tool, or 3) vaping could be dangerous and should be avoided. Although these arguments are not necessarily specific to pregnancy (beside mentions of fetal-specific risks), this analysis points to the need to educate and support women about harm reduction options.Health professionals should be aware that some women may be currently using or considering using e-cigarettes in an effort to quit or reduce smoking. It is important that health professionals are equipped to educate women with accurate, up-to-date, and balanced information about the risks and benefits of e-cigarette use during pregnancy.

Each year, 12.7 million people learn that they have cancer and 8.2 million people die of cancer worldwide. Cancer is a major public health issue which causes fundamental changes in the lives of patients and their families. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the lives of patients after diagnosis and determine the changes in their lifestyles.Between September 2013 to December 2013, a questionnaire consisting of 22 questions was administered during a face to face interview to patients at 13 different Oncology Units in Turkey. Each patient was queried during the administration of his/her chemotherapy. Eight of the questions featured independent choices, and 14 had dependent (multiple) choices.A total of 1300 patients were included in the study. Of patients 9.5% were 71 years of age and older which was the oldest age group. The mean patient age was 54.6±13.8 years. Of the whole group of patients 58.5% were female and 41.5% male. After diagnosis, 64% of the patients reported that they were complying with guidelines for a healthy lifestyle and 80% said that they were eating healthier food. At the time they filled in the questionnaire, more than half of the patients (57.3%) felt optimistic about their disease.Diagnosis of cancer may change the patients' dietary and reading habits, social relationships, activities and more importantly, their point of life view.

Irrational pharmacotherapy is a widespread health care problem, and knowing the prescription practices of physicians at an institutional level can present solutions. This study aimed to investigate whether physicians' prescribing patterns showed differences at the level of the health care institution.Photocopies of 3201 prescriptions written at primary health care centers (PHCs), public hospitals, private hospitals, and university hospitals (UHs) were collected from 10 provinces in Turkey. The prescriptions were evaluated according to prescribing indicators, and the details of drug utilization were compared for different health care institutions.The average number of medicines per prescription was 2.83, and the highest average was noted in PHCs (2.96). The average cost per prescription was US $51.57, and the highest average cost was found in UHs (US $166.10). The most frequently prescribed drug group was different among health care institutions. With the exception of UHs, the "cold-cough medicines" were the most frequently prescribed medicines at all of the institutions. Thirty-nine percent of the prescriptions included antibiotics.Despite the similarities between the distributions of diagnoses on prescriptions by health care institutions, the contents of the prescriptions showed differences. The high levels of prescriptions for "cold-cough medicines," whose use is widely debated, and the widespread tendency of physicians to prescribe antibiotics suggest that there is a growing need for disseminating the principles of rational pharmacotherapy. Furthermore, institutional differences must be considered when conducting rational pharmacotherapy programs.İrrasyonel farmakoterapi dünya genelinde yaygın olarak görülen bir sağlık problemidir ve kurumsal düzeyde hekimlerin reçeteleme alışkanlıklarının bilinmesi bu sorunun giderilmesine katkı sunabilir. Bu araştırmada, çeşitli sağlık merkezlerinde yazılmış reçetelerin içeriklerinin incelenmesi amaçlandı.Birinci basamak (BB), devlet hastaneleri (DH), özel hastaneler (ÖH) ve üniversite hastanelerinde (ÜH) çalışan hekimlerin yazmış olduğu 3201 reçete fotokopi edilerek toplandı. Reçeteler çeşitli ilaç kullanımı göstergelerine göre değerlendirildi ve ilaç kullanımının ayrıntıları bu reçetelerin yazıldığı sağlık kurumlarına göre karşılaştırıldı.Reçete başına düşen ortalama ilaç sayısının 2.83 olduğu ve bu değerin en yüksek BB’lerde (2.96) olduğu saptandı. Reçete başına düşen tedavi maliyetinin 51.57$ olduğu ve bu değerin en yüksek ÜH’lerde (166.10$) olduğu saptandı. Reçetelere en sık yazılan ilaç grubunun kurumlar arasında farklılık gösterdiği saptandı. ÜH’ler hariç diğer tüm kurumlarda en sık reçete edilen ilacın “öksürük-soğuk algınlığı ilacı” olduğu saptandı. Reçetelerin %39’unun antibiyotik içerdiği saptandı.Bu araştırmada her ne kadar reçetelerde yazılı tanıların kurumlara göre dağılımında benzerlikler bulunsa da reçete içerikleri değişkenlik göstermekteydi. Tedavide yer verilmesi tartışma konusu olabilen “öksürük ve soğuk algınlığı ilaçları”nın yüksek oranda reçetelenmesi, hekimlerin antibiyotik yazma eğiliminin yüksek olması gibi tespitler, rasyonel farmakoterapi ilkelerinin yaygınlaştırılmasına duyulan ihtiyaca işaret etmektedir. Rasyonel farmakoterapi konusunda yürütülecek programlarda araştırmada saptanan kurumsal farklılıklar mutlaka göz önünde bulundurulmalıdır.

In Tonga, import duties were lowered on tinned fish and seafood in 2013 and raised on soft drinks, dripping and other animal fats. Additional import duties were applied to soft drinks and dripping and other fats in 2016 and duties were also applied to high fat meats, mutton flaps and turkey tails. The objective of this study was to describe barriers to and facilitators of these import duties from a policy-maker perspective.A case study was conducted to analyse implementation of policies originally modelled by the Pacific Obesity Prevention in Communities project to reduce mortality in the Kingdom of Tonga. Policymakers (n = 15) from the Ministries of Revenue, Health, Finance and Labour and Commerce involved in the development and implementation of Tonga's food-related policies participated in key-informant interviews.The main facilitator of import duties were strong leadership and management, cross-sector collaboration, awareness raising and advocacy, nature of the policy, and the effective use of data to model policy impacts and inform the general public. The absence of clear lines of responsibility and a decline in collaboration over time were identified as barriers to implementation of the import duties.In a small Island state implementing import duties to prevent non-communicable disease can be straight forward providing policymakers and the community have a shared understanding of the health and economic costs of NCDs.

During the pandemic, health policies have been affected by many factors. The primary concerns are the current health system, human resources for health and an epidemic management strategy. Due to the ‘Health Transformation Program’, health services in Turkey have changed in terms of structure, service delivery and financing. Increasing investments in therapeutic services and private-public cooperation within the scope of the program has made preventive healthcare services weak in terms of structure and health personnel. Although interventions for the management of the outbreak were initiated quickly, the failure to fully implement a suppression strategy and the early removal of the interventions, have led to an increase in the number of cases. Also, a lack of transparency in data sharing has led to the failure to properly organise health services for epidemic control and has shaken the public’s trust in public institutions. In addition, due to the changing health system, people and institutions with knowledge in epidemic management were not able to transfer their experience, which prevented necessary and effective interventions from being carried out on time. As a result, it became impossible to develop effective and rapid health policies during the epidemic in a country that is constantly changing in terms of both structural and human resources for health, there is no transparency for data sharing and scientists are forced into the role of consultants and are not able to participate in the stages of policymaking.

Aim: The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of training for breast cancer and self-breast examination on university students’ anxiety level and health belief model. Methods: This study is a quasi-experimental study with one group pretest-posttest design. The sample of the study was selected by convenience sampling method. The target population of this study was the female students attending at a public university from eastern Anatolia region of Turkey and the sample was composed of those who accepted to participate in the study. 126 students in total participated in the study on a voluntary basis. “Personal Information Form”, and “Champion's Health Belief Model Scale” and “Hamilton Anxiety Rating Scale” were used as data collection tools. Results: It was determined that 84.1% of the students evaluated their health as good and 93.7% of them did not have a breast cancer history in their family. After training, it was determined that students’ health beliefs were improved, and their anxiety levels was decreased. When the subscale total scores of the health belief model scale were examined, it was observed that the perceived susceptibility and perceived confidence sub-dimension scores increased significantly after the training, and the perceived barrier score decreased significantly (p<0.05).Conclusion: As a result of the study, it was determined that breast cancer and breast self-examination training had an effect on students’ anxiety level and health beliefs. After the training, while students’ anxiety level decreased, their health beliefs was improved.

Introduction. Hypertension is an increasingly prevalent global public health problem. Nutritional culture and lifestyle are among the factors related to hypertension. The aim of this study was to evaluate the prevalence and influential factors of hypertension in the adult population of the Marmara region, Turkey. Methods. The study was conducted in 10 provinces in the Marmara region between June 01, 2018, and November 30, 2018. Participants included 2353 patients over 18 years of age diagnosed with hypertension by any of the 30 family physicians working in the Family Health Centers in these provinces. After the participants provided written consent, a survey consisting of 25 questions was administered by their family physicians. SPSS 25.0 (IBM Corporation, Armonk, New York, United States) was used for all statistical analysis calculations. Results. The patients included 1449 females (61.6%) and 904 males (38.4%). Among the respondents, 1555 (73.1%) had primary hypertension etiology and 572 (26.9%) had secondary etiology. While 1614 patients (68.6%) did not exercise at all, 739 patients (31.4%) reported exercising; 1026 patients (43.9%) did not restrict salt in their diet; and 1134 patients (48.2%) had a family history of hypertension. Conclusion. Since individual and environmental factors affect the etiology of hypertension, it is recommended that family physicians address these factors first as part of a holistic approach for hypertension prevention, diagnosis, treatment, and follow-up.

Background: Mothers face social and cultural obstacles to breastfeeding in public. Aims: This study evaluated the attitudes and practices of Turkish women regarding breastfeeding in public. Methods: This cross-sectional, descriptive study was carried out in a university hospital among 200 new postnatal mothers and their 200 accompanying female relatives. Data were obtained using a questionnaire and the Infant Feeding Attitude Scale (IIFAS). Results: Respondents mostly believed that there was nothing wrong with breastfeed in public and almost half of them thought the society would perceive breastfeeding in public negatively. Some 56.5% of the mothers who had previously had children and 37.2% of their relatives had breastfed in public before. The acceptance of breastfeeding in public increased “if the breast is covered” and “if a private space is provided”. The mean total IIFAS score was 61.53 (6.19) in the mothers and 60.65 (6.69) in their relatives. Based on IIFAS, the mothers (92.0%) and their relatives (89.5%) were neutral to breastfeeding, but age, education, employment status, and opinions regarding breastfeeding in public affected the IIFAS scores. IIFAS score was significantly higher in women who had breastfed in public before. Conclusion: Although the women knew the importance of breastfeeding, they mostly did not breastfeed in public because of the cultural implications and the lack of private breastfeeding areas. Awareness-raising, availability of breastfeeding rooms, and education of supporting relatives can help the increase willingness of mothers to breastfeed even if it is in public.

Nepal is a developing country with limited resources for health provision due to its geographic difficulties and frequent natural disasters, such as floods and earthquakes. Children are at risk of growth retardation due to inadequate food intake and unhealthy environment. Lower back pain is common among the adults and causes limitations in daily activities.A group of voluntary Turkish medical students, doctors and civil members conducted a field study, together with Nepalese doctors (MDs) and local volunteers, concerned with health-screening, intervention practices and on-site training in rural Nepal between 2013 and 2015. Physical examination of participants, together with stool examinations for parasites were done and those for whom treatment was indicated were referred to MDs who also ran a field pharmacy containing donated medications.Totally, 1148 individuals-725 children and 423 adults-were screened between 2013 and 2015. Musculoskeletal problems and upper respiratory tract infections were primary complaints among adults and sick children, respectively. Three-quarters of 203 collected stools had ≥ 1 parasite(s).Growth retardation in children observed during the study, the burden of intestinal parasites on Nepalese children and unavailability of effective health services for citizens in rural areas should direct local authorities to allocate greater resources for country's health infrastructure improvement and to provide a higher standard of childhood nutrition.

AbstractThere is a prevailing view of China as a unitary actor in its relationships with African countries. This view is incomplete: on the contrary, China is a collection of provinces, autonomous regions and municipalities with myriad strategic ties to African countries, with decentralization shaping the current form of Chinese government and its level of efficiency. In this paper, factors have been explored for why Chinese provinces have played a role in foreign cooperation in health of African countries, in addition to trade and foreign direct investment. Incentives and disincentives for Chinese provinces to engage internationally in foreign cooperation and health assistance have been identified. The concept of paradiplomacy for health has been presented and this typology has been applied to the example of Chinese medical teams. Finally, we draw linkages between China and other members of Brazil, Russia, India, China, and South Africa.Keywords: ChinaAfricaBRICSprovincesparadiplomacydecentralizationglobal healthaid development assistance AcknowledgementsWe thank Cheryl Schmitz and Nora Kleinman for their helpful comments. We also thank the International Health Exchange and Cooperation Center of China's National Health and Family Planning Commission for the invitation to present an earlier draft of this paper at the Fourth China Health Forum on 17 August 2013.FundingAt the time this paper was written Gordon C. Shen was supported by the Fulbright–Fogarty Fellowship in Public Health, the U.S. Department of State's Bureau of Educational and Cultural Affairs as part of its flagship Fulbright Program, and the Fogarty International Center, through the Fogarty Global Health Fellows Program Consortium [5R25TW009340-01].Notes1. The Next 11 (N-11; Bangladesh, Egypt, Indonesia, Iran, Mexico, Nigeria, Pakistan, Philippines, Turkey, South Korea, Vietnam) might be the next generation of developing economies, after BRICS, to transition from receiving aid for health to spending more on health domestically and even giving aid for health cooperation. In spite of the favourable attention N-11 countries have been receiving as the next generation of states with promising economic growth, administrative divisions within BRICS countries are comparable to N-11 countries in terms of economic size, commodity output, trade, and labour capital.2. Nye (Citation2005) said coercion (i.e. security), payments (i.e. commerce, trade), and attraction (i.e. soft power diplomacy) can induce changes in other's behaviour. There is a diverse range of examples relevant to this study, including ideational exchange, human resource development, education, and language exchanges.3. Zhou Enlai's ‘Eight Principles for China's Aid to Third World Countries’ include equality and mutual benefit; respect sovereignty and never attach conditions; provide interest-free or low-interest loans; help recipient countries develop independence and self-reliance; build projects that require little investment and can be accomplished quickly; provide quality equipment and material at market prices; ensure effective technical assistance; and pay experts according to local standards. These principles were reiterated in the Busan Partnership for Effective Development Cooperation, among other occasions.4. Crude petroleum and oils obtained from bituminous minerals constitute as 74% share of China's top five imports from Africa in 2006.5. Provincial outward FDI (in millions) and trade (in billions) are reported annually by the Ministry of Commerce. The Ministry of Commerce's statistical bulletin also contains African recipients of China's outward FDI and trade, but the linkages between Chinese provinces and African countries are not clear.6. Examples of blocs of African countries include the AU, the African Group, the African–Caribbean–Pacific Group, the Leader Developed Countries (LDC) Group, the Small and Vulnerable Economies Group, and the G90.7. The first documented Chinese overseas health assistance is the dispatch of Chinese medical teams to Algeria in March 1963 following Algeria's resistance against French colonialism, which itself resulted in a shortage in the Algerian health workforce. China's focus areas in health assistance has since diversified to include building malaria prevention and treatment centres, clinics, and hospitals, providing medicines and equipment, and training African health workforce in Africa or providing scholarships for training in China. These are found in Appendix 2.8. China has technical know-how to share with African countries based on its history of combating infectious diseases and improving public health. It has accelerated healthcare reform domestically since 2009, so there is ample room for mutual learning around health system efficiency, quality of care, and universal health coverage. AidData's Tracking Chinese Development Finance to Africa has data related to hospitals, equipment, pharmaceuticals, medical teams, training workshops, and scholarships. However, we did not include them in Appendix 2 because they are not consistently classified by Chinese province of origin. It should also be noted that this discussion precludes the participation of China's private sector, even though we recognize their engagement in social ventures, research and development, and global health spending in order to fulfil their corporate philanthropic and social responsibility missions. The drugs, medical supplies, and equipment have the potential to independently improve health service delivery systems in Africa.9. China (since 1978) and Russia (since 1992) have made the transition from a socialist to market economy. This transition involved major economic and political reforms. Economic reform measures China and Russia have in common are liberalization of price system, macroeconomic stabilization, enterprise restructuring, and privatization. Institutional reforms are legalities adopted to support the market economy.10. Newly appointed Chinese President Xi Jinping made his first tour to Africa in March 2013 with visits to South Africa, Tanzania, and the Republic of Congo. His predecessor, Hu Jintao, made a total of 4 tours to 18 African countries during his term in office.

We studied the relationship between smoking and exercise among physical education teachers in Turkey. An online questionnaire was used to collect data. The responses of 1,995 teachers who completed the questionnaire were evaluated. The mean age of the participants was 31.0 +/- 4.7 years; 67.4% of the participants were male. The smoking rate was 65.2%. The mean age of onset of smoking was 16.6 +/- 2.6 years. The age of starting smoking increased with higher parental education level. There were no differences between smokers and nonsmokers with respect to gender. Of smokers, 51.2% were married; 52.4% were in the 30-39 year old age group. The most common reasons for starting smoking were the influence of friends and emulation. The most common reason for trying to quit smoking among men was future health concerns and among women was current health concerns. We found smoking was less common among participants who exercised regularly. The level of nicotine dependence was significantly lower among participants who exercised regularly compared to those who did not. This study suggests physical education teachers, who are role models for their students, have a high smoking rate. We believe urgent action is needed to reduce the smoking rate and increase the quit rate among physical education teachers.

Abstract Objective The research was conducted experimentally to evaluate the effectiveness of the sexual health/reproductive health (SH/RH) education given to Turkish adolescents who use alcohol or illicit substances. Methods The population was adolescents who use alcohol and substances and were inpatients at the Child and Adolescent Substance Addiction Research, Treatment and Education Center. The adolescents were grouped into the following three groups: Group 1 (control group), Group 2 (those who have received training once), and Group 3 (those who have received training twice). Data were collected between September 2011 and December 2012 using the forms Self-Introduction and Information on Sexual Health-Reproductive Health and Information on Sexual Health-Reproductive Health Education Modules. Results Upon studying the total SH/RH test scores of the groups individually, a statistically significant difference was observed in the scores of Groups 2 and 3 ( p &lt; .01). Upon studying the change in the posttest scores from the pretest ones for each group individually, the increase in the scores of Group 3 (34.57 ± 16.33) was observed to have a statistically highly significant difference from those of Groups 1 (2.73 ± 10.65) and 2 (20.23 ± 12.09; p &lt; .01). Conclusions and Practice Implications Adolescents who abuse alcohol or substances should be given SH/RH education in a repetitive manner for prevention of risky sexual behavior.

Malaria, being among the most important diseases throughout history, is still an important public health problem among parasitic diseases due to increasing population movements with various reasons such as migration, war and travel. According to WHO data each year 300-350 million people get exposed to malaria, each year 1.5-2.7 million people die from malaria and also 40% of the world's population is still at risk for this disease. According to World Health Organisation (WHO) data, imported cases were not reported since 2013 in our country. However among imported cases Plasmodium falciparum malaria can be observed. The aim of this study wasto draw attention to the imported malaria cases increasing gradually and to the importance of the chemoprophylaxis in terms of malaria before travelling. In the study, male patients who have admitted to Hatay Province Malaria Center or Mustafa Kemal University Infectious Disease Department, ages between 25-60 years, were analyzed. All of the patients have worked abroad before. Patients were mostly from Sudan but there were also patients from endemic regions such as Africa, Nigeria, Pakistan, Mali island. The cases were evaluated according to age, gender and whether they had travel stories in Turkey or abroad. Blood samples taken from the patients were firstly prepared by thin and thick smear preparations and examined microscopically by staining with Giemsa stain method. Samples that were found positive by microscopic examination were impregnated on drying papers and genotyped using nested-PCR. Out of the 30 samples from patients who had traveled to endemic countries before, determined as positive by microscopical examination and genotyped by nested-PCR, 16 of them were identified as P.falciparum, six of them as P.vivax and eight of them as P.falciparum/P.vivax. The study suggested that malaria prophylaxis has to be applied before travelling to endemic countries, in return imported malaria has to be considered one of the first diseases in mind and people who will travel should be informed about this disease before travel.

To investigate public compliance with legislation to prohibit smoking within public buildings and the extent of tobacco smoking in outdoor areas in Turkey.Using a standardized observation protocol, we determined whether smoking occurred and whether ashtrays, cigarette butts and/or no-smoking signs were present in a random selection of 884 public venues in 12 cities in Turkey. We visited indoor and outdoor locations in bars/nightclubs, cafes, government buildings, hospitals, restaurants, schools, shopping malls, traditional coffee houses and universities. We used logistic regression models to determine the association between the presence of ashtrays or the absence of no-smoking signs and the presence of individuals smoking or cigarette butts.Most venues had no-smoking signs (629/884). We observed at least one person smoking in 145 venues, most frequently observed in bars/nightclubs (63/79), hospital dining areas (18/79), traditional coffee houses (27/120) and government-building dining areas (5/23). For 538 venues, we observed outdoor smoking close to public buildings. The presence of ashtrays was positively associated with indoor smoking and cigarette butts, adjusted odds ratio, aOR: 315.9; 95% confidence interval, CI: 174.9-570.8 and aOR: 165.4; 95% CI: 98.0-279.1, respectively. No-smoking signs were negatively associated with the presence of cigarette butts, aOR: 0.5; 95% CI: 0.3-0.8.Additional efforts are needed to improve the implementation of legislation prohibiting smoking in indoor public areas in Turkey, especially in areas in which we frequently observed people smoking. Possible interventions include removing all ashtrays from public places and increasing the number of no-smoking signs.Analyser le respect de la législation interdisant de fumer à l'intérieur des bâtiments publics ainsi que l'ampleur du tabagisme en extérieur en Turquie.Suivant un protocole d'observation standardisé, nous avons déterminé si des personnes avaient fumé et si des cendriers, des mégots de cigarettes et/ou des panneaux interdisant de fumer étaient présents dans 884 lieux publics sélectionnés au hasard dans 12 villes turques. Nous nous sommes rendus dans des bars/discothèques, cafés, bâtiments gouvernementaux, hôpitaux, restaurants, établissements scolaires, centres commerciaux, cafés traditionnels et universités où nous avons examiné les espaces intérieurs et extérieurs. Nous avons utilisé des modèles de régression logistique pour déterminer l'association entre la présence de cendriers ou l'absence de panneaux interdisant de fumer et la présence de personnes en train de fumer ou de mégots de cigarettes.La plupart des lieux disposaient de panneaux interdisant de fumer (629/884). Nous avons observé au moins une personne en train de fumer dans 145 lieux, le plus souvent dans les bars/discothèques (63/79), les espaces-repas des hôpitaux (18/79), les cafés traditionnels (27/120) et les espaces-repas des bâtiments gouvernementaux (5/23). Dans 538 lieux, nous avons observé que des personnes fumaient à l'extérieur près de bâtiments publics. La présence de cendriers était positivement associée au fait de fumer à l'intérieur et à des mégots de cigarettes, rapport des cotes ajusté (RCa): 315,9; intervalle de confiance (IC) de 95%: 174,9–570,8 et RCa: 165,4; IC 95%: 98,0-279,1, respectivement. Les panneaux interdisant de fumer étaient négativement associés à la présence de mégots de cigarettes, RCa: 0,5; IC 95%: 0,3-0,8.Des efforts supplémentaires doivent être déployés afin d’améliorer l'application de la législation interdisant de fumer à l'intérieur des lieux publics en Turquie, en particulier dans les lieux où nous avons fréquemment observé des personnes qui fumaient. Les actions possibles pourraient consister à retirer tous les cendriers des lieux publics et à augmenter le nombre de panneaux interdisant de fumer.Investigar el cumplimiento público de la legislación que prohíbe fumar en edificios públicos y el grado de consumo de tabaco en las zonas exteriores en Turquía.Mediante un protocolo de observación estandarizado, se determinó si se fumaba y si había ceniceros, colillas o señales de prohibido fumar en una selección aleatoria de 884 espacios públicos de 12 ciudades turcas. Se visitaron tanto espacios interiores como exteriores en bares/discotecas, cafeterías, edificios gubernamentales, hospitales, restaurantes, escuelas, centros comerciales, cafeterías tradicionales y universidades. Se utilizaron modelos de regresión logística para determinar la asociación entre la presencia de ceniceros o la ausencia de señales de prohibido fumar y la presencia de colillas o personas fumando.La mayoría de espacios contaban con señales de prohibido fumar (629/884). Se observó al menos una persona fumando en 145 espacios, algo que se observó con más frecuencia en bares/discotecas (63/79), comedores de hospitales (18/79), cafeterías tradicionales (27/120) y comedores de edificios gubernamentales (5/23). En 538 espacios, se observó gente fumando en el exterior cerca de edificios públicos. La presencia de ceniceros se relacionó de forma positiva con el hecho de fumar en interiores y la presencia de colillas, cociente de posibilidades ajustado, CPa: 315,9; intervalo de confianza, IC, del 95%: 174,9–570,8 y CPa: 165,4; IC del 95%: 98,0-279,1, respectivamente. Las señales de prohibido fumar se relacionaron de forma negativa con la presencia de colillas, CPa: 0,5; IC del 95%: 0,3–0,8.Se necesitan esfuerzos adicionales para mejorar la aplicación de la legislación que prohíbe fumar en áreas públicas interiores en Turquía, especialmente en áreas en las que se han observado fumadores frecuentemente. Las posibles intervenciones incluyen eliminar todos los ceniceros de los lugares públicos y aumentar el número de señales de prohibido fumar.التحقيق في درجة الامتثال العام للتشريعات المتعلقة بمنع التدخين داخل المباني العامة والوقوف على مدى انتشار تدخين التبغ في المناطق المفتوحة في تركيا.باستخدام بروتوكول المراقبة الموحد، قمنا بتحديد ما إذا كان تتم ممارسة التدخين، وما إذا كانت منافض السجائر، وأعقاب السجائر و/أو لافتات عدم التدخين موجودة في مجموعة مختارة عشوائيًا من 884 مكانًا عامًا في 12 مدينة تركية. وقمنا بزيارة أماكن داخلية مغلقة وخارجية في الحانات/النوادي الليلية، والمقاهي، والمباني الحكومية، والمستشفيات، والمطاعم، والمدارس، ومراكز التسوق، والمقاهي التقليدية، والجامعات. استخدمنا نماذج التحوف (Regression Model) اللوجيستي لتحديد العلاقة بين وجود منافض السجائر أو عدم وجود لافتات منع التدخين ووجود أفراد مدخنين أو أعقاب السجائر.لم يكن لدى معظم الأماكن لافتات لمنع التدخين (بواقع 629 من بين 884 مكانًا). كما لاحظنا وجود شخص واحد على الأقل يقوم بالتدخين في 145 مكانًا، وهو الأمر الذي لوحظ في معظم الأحيان في الحانات/النوادي الليلية (63 من بين 79)، ومناطق تناول الطعام بالمستشفيات (18 من بين 79)، والمقاهي التقليدية (27 من بين 120)، ومناطق تناول الطعام في المباني الحكومية (5 من بين 23). أما بالنسبة لـ 538 مكانًا، فقد لاحظنا أن التدخين في الأماكن الخارجية يحدث بالقرب من المباني العامة. كان وجود منافض السجائر مرتبطًا ارتباطًا إيجابيًا بحدوث التدخين ووجود أعقاب السجائر في الأماكن الداخلية المغلقة، بنسبة احتمال معدّلة بلغت: 315.9؛ بنسبة أرجحية مقدارها ‏95%: 174.9–570.8 ونسبة الاحتمال المعدّلة: 165.4؛ ونسبة أرجحية مقدارها 95‏%: 98.0–279.1، على التوالي. وارتبطت لافتات منع التدخين ارتباطًا سلبيًا بوجود أعقاب السجائر، بنسبة احتمال معدّلة بلغت: 0.5؛ ونسبة أرجحية مقدارها ‏95%: 0.3–0.8.هناك حاجة إلى بذل جهود إضافية لتحسين تنفيذ التشريعات المانعة للتدخين في الأماكن العامة المغلقة في تركيا، وخاصة في المناطق التي غالبًا ما لاحظنا الأشخاص يقومون بالتدخين فيها. تشمل التدخلات الممكنة إزالة جميع منافض السجائر من الأماكن العامة وزيادة عدد لافتات عدم التدخين.旨在调查土耳其公众遵守公共建筑内禁止吸烟法规的情况,并调查其在室外吸烟的情况。.通过采用标准化观察规程,并随机选取 12 个土耳其城市内 884 个公共场所进行观察,我们确定了是否吸烟与是否出现烟灰缸、烟头和/或是否张贴禁烟标志之间的联系。我们观察了酒吧/夜店、咖啡店、政府大楼、酒店、餐厅、学校、商场、传统咖啡屋和大学校园。并采用逻辑回归模型确定出现烟灰缸或没有禁烟标志,和出现抽烟者或出现烟头之间的联系。.大多数场所都有禁烟标志 (629/884)。据观察,145 个场所内就有至少一人吸烟,吸烟情况多发现于酒吧/夜店 (63/79)、酒店就餐区 (18/79)、传统咖啡屋 (27/120) 和政府大楼就餐区 (5/23)。我们还观察到, 538 个场所的户外吸烟区靠近公共建筑。烟灰缸的出现与室内吸烟和室内出现烟头正相关,调整后比值 (aOR):315.9;95% 置信区间 (CI):174.9–570.8,调整后比值 (aOR):165.4;95% 置信区间 (CI):98.0–279.1。禁烟标志与出现烟头负相关,调整后比值 (aOR):0.5;95% 置信区间 (CI): 0.3–0.8.需加大禁烟法规在土耳其室外公共区域(尤其是我们经常观察到有人吸烟的区域)的执行力度。可行干预包括清除所有公共场所内烟灰缸,并增加禁烟标志数量。.Изучить соблюдение обществом законодательства, запрещающего курение в общественных зданиях, и выявить масштаб табакокурения на открытом воздухе в Турции.С помощью стандартизированного протокола наблюдения были определены случаи курения и наличие пепельниц, окурков или знаков, запрещающих курение, в выбранных случайным образом 884 общественных местах в 12 городах Турции. Были посещены внутренние и наружные помещения баров, ночных клубов, кафе, правительственных зданий, больниц, ресторанов, школ, торговых центров, традиционных кофеен и университетов. С помощью модели логистической регрессии была определена связь между наличием пепельниц или отсутствием знаков, запрещающих курение, и присутствием курящих лиц или наличием окурков.В большинстве мест присутствовали знаки, запрещающие курение (629/884). В 145 местах наблюдения присутствовал как минимум один курящий человек. Чаще всего подобное встречалось в барах и ночных клубах (63/79), больничных столовых (18/79), традиционных кофейнях (27/120) и столовых правительственных зданий (5/23). В 538 местах наблюдалось курение на открытом воздухе вблизи общественных зданий. Наличие пепельниц было положительно связано с курением внутри помещений и наличием окурков, скорректированное отношение шансов, сОШ: 315,9; 95%-й доверительный интервал, ДИ: 174,9–570,8 и сОШ: 165,4; 95%-й ДИ: 98,0–279,1 соответственно. Наличие знаков, запрещающих курение, было отрицательно связано с наличием окурков, сОШ: 0,5; 95%-й ДИ: 0,3–0,8.Необходимы дополнительные мероприятия для более эффективного исполнения законодательства, запрещающего курение внутри общественных зданий в Турции, особенно в местах, где курящие люди встречаются наиболее часто. В число возможных мероприятий входит удаление всех пепельниц из общественных мест и увеличение количества знаков, запрещающих курение.

Abstract The current study presents some aspects of syphilis in the Balkan Peninsula from the 19th century until the Interwar. Ever since the birth of modern Balkan States (Greece, Bulgaria, Turkey and Serbia), urbanization, poverty and the frequent wars have been considered the major factors conducive to the spread of syphilis. The measures against sex work and sexually transmitted diseases (STDs) were taken in two aspects, one medical and the other legislative. In this period, numerous hospitals for venereal diseases were established in the Balkan countries. In line with the international diagnostic approach and therapeutic standards, laboratory examinations in these Balkan hospitals included spirochete examination, Wassermann reaction, precipitation reaction and cerebrospinal fluid examination. Despite the strict legislation and the adoption of relevant laws against illegal sex work, public health services were unable to curb the spread of syphilis. Medical and social factors such as poverty, citizen’s ignorance of STDs, misguided medical perceptions, lack of sanitary control of prostitution and epidemiological studies, are highlighted in this study. These factors were the major causes that helped syphilis spread in the Balkan countries during the 19th and early 20th century. The value of these aspects as a historic paradigm is diachronic. Failure to comply with the laws and the dysfunction of public services during periods of war or socioeconomic crises are both factors facilitating the spread of STDs.

Electrical injuries are still responsible for significant morbidity and mortality; however, they are generally preventable with simple safety measures. This study Abstracts to determine the general features of electrical fatalities, and to draw attention of health professionals towards such preventable deaths. Materials and methods: A retrospective evaluation of records of electrocution-related deaths in Ankara, Turkey, was conducted over 11 years (1998-2008). Results: Out of 12,263 autopsy cases, 100 (0.8%) were secondary to electrocution. Most of the victims were male (n = 94; 94%) while only 6 were female. Victims’ age ranged from 1 year to 76 years, with a mean age of 33.5 years. Entry lesions were localized on the upper extremities in the majority of cases (n = 74; 74%). However, no electrical lesions were found in 3 cases. Of all cases, 71 (71%) occurred as occupational accidents, mostly seen in workplaces. There was an increase in electrical fatalities in the summer (n = 58, 58%). Accompanying traumatic lesions were detected in 30 (30%) cases. All of the deaths were recorded as accidental except for one suicidal death. Conclusion: The overwhelming majority of electrical fatalities were occupational-related, which were mostly preventable. Proper installation and maintenance of electrical devices will help to tackle electrical injuries at home and in the workplace. Additionally, educational programs for workers and employers should be provided and public and occupational safety measures should be promoted by the authorities.

One of the current greatest risks to public health is avian influenza (AI), which originated from the animal reservoir. Therefore the objective of this seminar is to describe the available of epidemiological aspects of AI and to concisely mention public health importance of avian influenza. Although influenza infections in poultry, mainly chickens and turkeys, might go undetected, they frequently lead to production losses and a variety of clinical illnesses ranging in severity from moderate to severe in flocks that are affected. Both the fecal-oral pathway and aerosols can be used to disseminate avian influenza viruse.The majority of LPAI virus transmission occurs through the respiratory route, despite the fact that fecal shedding might occasionally be considerable. Poultry influenza Viruses are categorized as Highly Pathogenic Avian Influenza (HPAI) or Low Pathogenicity Avian Influenza (LPAI) based on how sick and potentially fatal they can make chickens in a laboratory environment. Serious respiratory symptoms, pneumonia, and even mortality, can be brought on by HPAI viruses. By isolating the virus in eggs or cell cultures, or by checking for viral protein, viral nucleic acid, or AI virus antibodies, it is feasible to determine whether someone has been exposed to the AI virus or has become infected with it.Both adamantine and neuraminidase inhibitors, which both block a viral protein, are examples of antiviral drugs that used to prevent and cure influenza. Therefore, for disasters, there should be enabling legislation and an emergency management system (i.e., HPAI incursion) and should be made prompt medical attention and yearly vaccinations.

Designing public services for excluded groups comes with a crucial question: is it better to create group-specific and consequently segregated services catering to the unique needs of population subgroups? Or should the inclusivity and intersectionality of existing services be increased instead by opening the care offers to all members of the community—the very idea of universal health coverage? This question is especially relevant in the care of people in the lesbian, gay, bisexual, trans, queer (LGBTQ+) community.

When LGBTQ+ prisons were debated in Turkey, with the premise and promise of security, LGBTQ+ prisoners mostly voiced an interrelated fear of first isolation, because it would force LGBTQ+ people to serve their time in a place far from their place of residence, making it difficult for friends and relatives to visit; and second stigma, because it would automatically identify them as LGBTQ+ to family members and everyone within the prison system.4Göksel D Aiding Turkey's gay inmates.The New York Times.

The study follows a 2014 policy initiative aimed to introduce HIV prevention strategies for key at-risk populations. The authors report that implementation of test and offer, tailored condom promotion, and pre-exposure prophylaxis could avert nearly 50% of new infections over 10 years. The findings are a part of a larger mixed-methods study that has already informed development of a comprehensive HIV care and prevention plan specifically designed for transgender women in Peru.

Objective: Circumcision, in Turkey as a Muslim country is one of the most commonly performed operation. Although it seems to be a simple procedure, circumcision has many complications. The aim of this study is to retrospectively evaluated circumcision datas and discuss about 'a low cost and non-complicated circumcision; when, how, where, who should be made by'. Methods: In this study, 4059 patients who were circumcised between 2011-2018 were included in the study. Results: The mean age of 4059 patients was 4.1(± 3.29). The number of patients who had circumcised &amp;lt;2year was 1315 (32.40%), aged 2-6 who no recommended by child psychiatrists was 1154(28.43%) and &amp;gt;6 year was 1590(39.17%). 422(10.40%) of patients who underwent circumcision had additional surgical pathology. The most common additional surgical pathologies were inguinal hernia (n=212, 50.24%), undescended testes (n=100, 23.70%) and hydrocele (n=32, 7.58%). Conclusion: Since the circulation of complicated surgical operations is intense, especially in the 3rd level public university hospitals it is more appropriate to perform circumcision in patients who require additional operation to reduce the cost and hospitalization. If additional operation is not required, circumcision should be performed by private health institutions or certified 1st level family physicians. In terms of childhood psychology, it is important to take measures to increase the level of knowledge of families on this issue, since a significant number of families still circumcised their children aged 2-6 years.

To compare the opinions of teachers in private and public schools about school nurses.This descriptive study was conducted at 10 randomly selected private and public schools in Izmir in western Turkey during April-May 2016, and comprised teachers who consented to participate. A questionnaire was used to collect the data about socio-demographic information of the subjects (six questions), problems frequently encountered in school and the teachers' opinions about school health nurses (seven questions). Two open-ended questions on the roles of school nurses and the most important health education topics were asked. SPSS 22 was used to analyse data.Of the 720 subjects, 517(72%) were females and 203(18%) were men. There were 360(50%) teachers from private schools and an equal number were from the public schools. The mean ages of the teachers from the private and public schools were 36.22±8.69 and 43.12±7.78 years, respectively. Besides, 337(93.6%) teachers of the private schools and 338(93.9%) teachers of the public school believed that school nurses were needed, while 19(5.3%) private school teachers and 162(45%) public school teachers said they had "no idea" about the roles of the school nurse. The most important role of the school nurse was promoting good health habits according to the public school teachers and health education according to the private school teachers.Half of the public school teachers said they had no idea about the role of a school nurse.

Purpose: How the immune response of people infected with SARS-CoV-2 develops against the virus and how long it is effective is one of the most important questions during the pandemic period. We aimed to examine the frequency of relapse and re-infection, examine the influencing factors, evaluate the cases' clinical conditions and symptoms, and examine the severity of subsequent infection.&#x0D; Materials and Methods: This is a descriptive and cross-sectional type study using the Public Health Management System (PHMS) records of the Turkish Ministry of Health. Clinical improvement and negative RT-PCR test results, and positive RT-PCR test results at least 45 days after the first infection were included in this study. The cases were divided into two groups: the relapse group, those positive for 45-89 days after the first infection, and the reinfection group after 90 days recommended by the CDC. Demographic characteristics, whether or not to be a health worker, accompanying chronic illness, and re-positivity periods were evaluated.&#x0D; Results: The total number of cases was 103,096. The number of cases with repeat positivity detected after 45 days was 78. In the study, the number of cases in the relapse group (45-89 days) was 49, while the number of cases in the reinfection group (over 90 days) was 29.&#x0D; Conclusions: The very low rate of reinfection and milder symptoms in the second infection are promising for vaccination studies. Understanding the COVID-19 reinfection could be the key to guiding government and public health decisions in the coming months.

This study aims to compare economic, health, routine-change and isolation anxiety levels between private and public sector employees during the Covid-19 pandemic in Turkey. For this purpose, an online questionnaire is adapted from the Spielberger State-Trait Anxiety Inventory (STAI), and sent to the 1111 participants from both sectors. It is hypothesized that economic anxiety would have a greater effect on private sector employees than public sector employees while the health anxiety has more dominant effects on public sector employees. To test the significance level of the mean differences between these groups, an independent sample t test was used and for testing the significance level of the mean differences among three or more groups one-way analysis of variance (ANOVA) was used. The t test results revealed that private sector employees had higher levels of economic anxiety on average than public sector employees. While there is no significant difference between the sectors in terms of health anxiety, routine change anxiety is higher on average over all other anxiety levels for both sectors. According to the results of one-way ANOVA test, employees living in minimum subsistence conditions, i.e., low-income group, had much more intense levels of economic anxiety than high-income group, and it was concluded that high-income group was under psychological pressure due to the routine changes they experienced. Finally, the results showed that private sector employees were more feared about getting short-time working allowances compared to public sector employees.

Nursing homes (NH) constitute an important part of eldery care services in Turkey and around the world. According to data from February 2020, there are 426 public and private nursing homes in Turkey. They provide care for 27 575 elderly persons, as well as active service for another 19 407 elderly individuals. Including the 8302 personnel serving NH, approximately 60 000 people in Turkey live, receive treatment, and work at NH. The size of this population highlights the potential risk posed by interactions between elderly persons and staff in NH during the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic if appropriate care and precautions are not taken. Although COVID-19 affects people from all age groups, it is more fatal in the elderly than in younger groups. The most common clinical presentations of COVID-19 infection in the elderly are fever, dry cough, and chest distress.1 However, in geriatrics, it is well known that older people do not always have a fever response during the course of infectious diseases and that common infections can sometimes present only with acute mental state changes such as lethargy and confusion.2 For example, a life-threatening condition such as massive pulmonary embolism can cause hypoactive delirium.2 Accordingly, serious infections such as COVID-19 pneumonia can sometimes present only with non-specific symptoms such as altered mental status, weight loss, fatigue, falls, or functional decline in the elderly. Therefore, during the pandemic, it is necessary to evaluate elderly persons in NH at least three times a day and to measure nursing home residents' vital signs, such as fever, respiratory rate, oxygen saturation, and functionality, during each visit. To ensure infectious control during the COVID-19 pandemic, NH should immediately undertake well-established precautionary measures such as banning visitors and group activities and minimizing time spent in common areas. Although social isolation (SI) is preferable for elderly individuals in NH, it can be difficult to provide and maintain. Elderly persons with cognitive impairment may have difficulty remembering or retaining information and understanding and following instructions, such as wear a mask. A failure to fully comply with protective measures may increase their risk of infection. Additionally, SI can lead to negative consequences, which is especially problematic as it has emerged as one of the the most important steps in controlling the spread of COVID-19. Geriatricians recommend continuous social and physical activities for elderly individuals to provide cognitive and emotional benefits and to prevent the development of sarcopenia and dynapenia. However, long-term SI can increase the risk of falls and related injuries in the elderly with multiple comorbidities and disability.3, 4 Moreover, it is inappropriate to isolate elderly individuals who may have delirium, dementia, behavioural disorders, or incontinence—all of which are common in NH—alone in a room for a long time.3 In some patients, procedures that require restricted movement, such as vascular access or the measurement of vital signs, can aggrevate delirium development and behavioural disorders in patients; this can also make it difficult for health-care professionals to complete such procedures.3 Patients must be approached from the perspective of geriatrics. While in SI, patients should be able to communicate with their family members and loved ones as much as possible with the help of telecommunications and gerotechnology. Also, training and support should be provided to capable patients so that they can perform respiratory exercises and physical activities in their room on their own. Any factor that could cause falls or delirium should be reviewed individually, unnecessary restrictions should be avoided, and treatment and interventions should be simplified. Additionally, if a patient's COVID-19 test is positive, 3-day hydroxychloroquine prophylaxis should be initiated for all NH residents and staff; thereafter, ongoing treatment should be arranged on follow-up. This can prevent, the spread of the epidemic in NH. In the treatment of COVID-19, the combination of azithromycin and hydroxychloroquine may prolong the QT interval and create a tendency to ventricular tachycardia.4 Cardiac comorbidities, electrolyte disturbances, and drugs that prolong QT further increase this risk in geriatric patients.4 Also, polypharmacy, inappropriate drug use, and drug–drug interactions are common in the elderly in NH and may present a risk.5 Likewise, drugs commonly prescribed in NH populations, such as antipsychotics, anti-dementia drugs, antidepressants, and antihypertensive drugs, prolong QT distance and predispose patients to arrhythmia.6 Therefore, elderly patients' medications and their possible interactions should be reviewed before or during COVID-19 treatment. During the initiation of COVID-19 treatment, it is important to abide by the principle of ‘start low, go slow’. COVID-19 treatments can interact with benzodiapezine and psychotropic drugs used to treat delirium, causing cardiac side-effects or falls, which may result from fear of death, depressive symptoms, or delirium. Additionally, health-care professionals must be mindful that anorexia and malnutrition may accompany infections and should plan early in case nutrition therapy is needed. A complex and detailed geriatric approach to evaluating elderly patients with suspected COVID-19, rather than a simple approach of classical medicine, is needed to prevent delays in the diagnosis and treatment of COVID-19. Such an approach to disease management, especially in the elderly, can be successfully sustained as the world continues to struggle against COVID-19. The authors have no conflicts of interest to declare.

This study was conducted to determine the incidence of unplanned pregnancies and the factors affecting it during the COVID-19 pandemic. An analytical-cross-sectional study was carried out at a public hospital in Aydın, Turkey between January and October 2021. The sample of the study comprised 220 pregnant women. The data was collected with a Pregnant Information Form, and the Pearson Chi-square test and Binary Logistic Regression analysis were employed in the analysis. It was determined that the incidence of unplanned pregnancy during the COVID-19 pandemic was 33.6% and that number of living children [AOR:0.73, 95% CI:(0.23-0.99)], thought of having another child [AOR:1.21, 95% CI:(1.43-7.89)], the family planning method used [AOR:1.31, 95% CI:(1.05-5.22)], and having problems in reaching a family planning method [AOR:1.97, 95% CI:(0.04-0.50)] affected the occurrence of unplanned pregnancies (p < .05). IMPACT STATEMENTWhat is already known on this subject? Unplanned pregnancies adversely affect maternal and newborn health.What do the results of this study add? It was found that approximately one out of three pregnancies during the COVID-19 pandemic process was unplanned and that the number of living children, the thought of having another child, the family planning method used, and having problems in obtaining a family planning method affected the occurrence of unplanned pregnancies.What are the implications of these findings for clinical practice and/or further research? It can guide politicians in the arrangements regarding sexual and reproductive health services during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Objective: Although its roots go back centuries, there is still a demand for traditional medicine practices and it is important to know the opinion of the society and healthcare professionals about the subject. Our study aims to determine the attitudes of healthcare professional and non-healthcare hospital staff about traditional medicine.Material-Method: A two-stage questionnaire, a demographic information section, and the Complementary, Alternative, and Conventional Medicine Attitudes Scale (CACMAS) was used to collect the data. Descriptive statistics, Kolmogorov Smirnov, Mann-Whitney U, Kruskal Wallis and chi-square tests were used to analyze the data.Results: A total of 681 staff of nine public and private hospitals participated in the study. 65.4% (n=439) of the participants were healthcare professionals, 34.6% (n=232) were non-healthcare professionals. The mean scores of the healthcare professional respondents were 92.6 (±16.7), of the non-healthcare professional respondents were 126.1 (±11.7).Conclusion: In our study, it was found that healthcare professionals' attitudes towards traditional medicine practices were more negative than non-healthcare professionals. However, as according to the current legislation in many countries around the world, only physicians who receive standard training and other healthcare professionals under their supervision are authorized to perform traditional medicine practices in Turkey. As a result of our study, it was determined that the attitudes of healthcare professionals and other segments of the society should be observed about traditional medicine practices and that measures should be taken to bring together the supply and demand for traditional medicine on a legal basis.

In this paper, we aim to examine the effect of health information orientation on attitudes toward using digital health services and explore the mediating role of e-health literacy in this relationship. We also tested the impact of attitudes toward using digital health services on digital health service use intention. We collected data through an online survey method. A total of 520 respondents participated, and data were analyzed using structural equation modeling. The results showed that people who are health information oriented and capable of finding and utilizing e-health information have positive attitudes and intention toward using digital health service. Variables in the model explain 60% of the variance in digital health service use intention. This study confirmed the partial mediating role of e-health literacy on the relationship between health information orientation and attitudes toward using digital health services. Future research is needed to explore whether these relationships are confirmed in a specific health context. Furthermore, comparing the digital health service usage attitudes and intentions of people who have and do not have chronic illnesses can also be insightful. Cross-cultural comparisons may also add to the knowledge related to the adoption of digital health services. We conducted this study during the early phase of COVID-19 pandemic in Turkey and explored the digital health service use intention partly within the Theory of Reasoned Action framework. We have also tried to contribute to Sustainable Development Goals with our research results.

Persisting worldwide, the COVID-19 pandemic results not only in major public health concerns, but also in several social and industrial issues in economy, labor, education and many other fields. In this context, the epidemic continues to take a negative hold. Due to, amongst others, the increasing and aging population, improper urbanization, irregularities in income distribution worldwide, increased resistance to antimicrobial agents, global warming and climate changes, intrusive approaches to wildlife, the epidemiology of infections is undergoing a worldwide change and new infectious diseases are emerging, some of which pose a threat of outbreak, even pandemic. Therefore, different policies should be adopted against outbreaks both on a national and global scale.An “Institute of Infectious Diseases and Epidemics” should be established very urgently within TUSEB (Directorate of Health Institutes of Turkey). Actions that attach importance to the understanding of “Singular Health” should be taken throughout the country. The efforts to take structural measures that will work in case of epidemics, to raise qualified manpower in medicine and to achieve the required capacity of vaccine and drug production along with rapid diagnosis and advanced analysis in epidemic situations should be maintained consistently. During the outbreak, further actions should be taken for potential issues in social life, economy, labor, education, agriculture and other fields. To achieve these goals, specific policies should be set, and an advanced cooperation should be established between the World Health Organization and other concerned international organizations by ensuring the integrated operation of institutions within the country.

Background: Exploration of health promotion practices of women will help community nurses when educating and counseling these individuals about health-promoting activities. Aim: The aim of this study was to describe health-promoting life-style behaviors of 210 Turkish women and to compare them with those reported from other published studies that used Health-Promoting Life-style Profile. Methods: Sample of this descriptive study included 210 women aged 15-65 years. Data were collected using a questionnaire about sociodemographic features developed by the investigators and Health Promoting Lifestyle Profile. T test and Anova test were used for group comparisons. Results: The women included in this study got the highest scores of interpersonal support and self-actualization. However, their total Health Promoting Lifestyle Profile and other subscale scores were generally the same as those reported from other studies and they had the lowest scores of exercise. Education made a statistically significant contribution to exercise, health responsibility and stress management scores (p<0.01). Women with broken marriages need more interpersonal support (p<0.05). Low family income has a negative effect on health behaviors of women (p<0.01). Conclusion: In view of the results, we can suggest that community nurses should be aware of culture, beliefs, and values of the community for which they provide care and make effort to promote health behaviors of women. Culture, Women, Health promotion, Public health nursing, Women’s health.

Unplanned or unintended pregnancies form a major public health concern because they are associated with unfavorable birth outcomes as well as social adversity, stress and depression among parents-to-be. Several risk factors for unplanned pregnancies in women have previously been identified, but studies usually take a unidimensional approach by focusing on only one or few factors, disregarding the possibility that predictors might cluster. Furthermore, data on predictors in men are largely overlooked. The purpose of this study is to determine predictors of unplanned versus planned pregnancy, to determine predictors of ambivalent feelings regarding pregnancy, and to investigate how characteristics of men and women with an unplanned pregnancy cluster together.This study was embedded in Generation R, a multiethnic population-based prospective cohort from fetal life onwards. Pregnancy intention was reported by 7702 women and 5367 partners. Information on demographic, mental, physical, social, and sexual characteristics was obtained. Logistic regression, multinomial regression and cluster analyses were performed to determine characteristics that were associated with an unplanned pregnancy, with ambivalent feelings regarding the unplanned pregnancy and the co-occurrence of characteristics in women and men with unplanned pregnancy.Twenty nine percent of the pregnancies were unplanned. Logistic regression analyses showed that 42 of 44 studied predictors were significantly associated with unplanned pregnancy. The most important predictors were young age, migration background, lower educational level, lower household income, financial difficulties, being single, lower cognitive ability, drug use prior to pregnancy, having multiple sexual partners in the year prior to the pregnancy, younger age of first sexual contact and a history of abortion. Multinomial regression analyses showed that a Turkish or Moroccan background, Islamic religion, little financial opportunities, being married, having ≥3 children, high educational level, more mental health and social problems and older age of first sexual contact were associated with prolonged ambivalent feelings regarding pregnancy. Different combinations of characteristics were observed in the four clusters of women and men with unplanned pregnancy.Many predictors are related with unplanned pregnancies, ambivalent feelings toward the pregnancy, and we identified very heterogeneous groups of women and men with unplanned pregnancies. This calls for heterogeneous measures to prevent unplanned pregnancies.

Background: The global outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic and its impact on the overall health and well-being brought fear, anxiety, worry, and mental health issues. Thus, a bibliometric analysis of COVID-19 and anxiety-related publications was performed to examine the current research trends and prospects to support policymakers, funding agencies, and researchers to safeguard the global population from post-COVID-19 psychological impact. Methods: We used the Web of Science Core Collection (WoSCC) to search relevant documents in the early stage of the outbreak up to date (October 21, 2021). Mesh heading terms were used to extract the relevant keywords indexed in medical databases: HistCite, R software, and VOSviewer.Var1.6.6 were adopted as bibliometric analysis tools. Results: A bibliometric analysis was employed to examine 796 COVID-19- anxiety-related documents on WoSCC.

We aimed to determine the prevalence of Alveolar echinococcusis using ELISA in our region, to perform the specific differentiation of species by using the Western Blott method, to diagnose and treat this disease effectively in early periods, and to inform the patients about the results quickly.From the provinces of Erzurum, Kars, Ardahan, Iğdır, Ağrı and Erzincan in the Eastern Anatolia Region, Turkey in August-September 2017, blood samples were provided from 305 participants (volunteer patients and their relatives), including 151 females (49.50%), whose ages ranged between 6-85 yr and were diagnosed as Alveolar echinococcosis (AE) and operated in concerned clinics.EIgG ELISA was determined as positive in 29 (9.5%) participants, including 17 (11.3%) females and 12 (7.8%) males. In addition, Em2-Em18 ELISA was also determined as positive in 15 (4.9%) participants, including 9 (6%) females and 6 (3.9%) males. Tweleve (3.94 %) of these findings were observed as positive in terms of both tests. Through the verification done by Anti-EWB IgG, Echinococcus multilocularis (EM) was identified in 7 (21.9%) of the female participants, E. granulosus (EG) in 1 (3.1%), and both parasites in 2 (6.2%). For male participants, EM was determined in 3 (9.3%) of them, EG in 1 (3.1%), and both parasites in 1 (3.1%).AE continues to threaten public health in the region. In families where AE is detected positive, the reason for disease is based on nutrition; thus, it will be proper to check up all family members in the terms of infection.

This study was carried out to evaluate health professionals' perceptions of COVID-19 and their compliance with isolation precautions within the scope of the Health Belief Model. The population of this cross-sectional study consisted of 1500 health professionals comprising physicians and nurses who work in a university hospital in Turkey between 10 May and 30 May 2020, while its sample consisted of 309 health professionals accepting to participate in the study. In the data collection, descriptive characteristics form which was prepared by the researchers, the COVID-19 Perception Questionnaire prepared within the scope of the Health Belief Model, and the Isolation Precautions Compliance Scale were used. The mean scores of perceived susceptibility, perceived severity, perceived benefits, perceived health-motivation, perceived self-efficacy, cues to action, and the total mean score of the COVID-19 Perception Questionnaire were found to be above the average. Whereas, the perceived barriers mean score was found to be below the average. Perceived susceptibility, perceived severity, and cues to action mean scores of the nurses were significantly higher than those of the physicians. The compliance of health professionals with isolation was also above the average, and nurses' mean score of compliance with the isolation precautions is significantly higher than those of physicians. The increased perception of the COVID-19 epidemic based on the Health Belief Model positively affects the compliance of health professionals to isolation. The development of certain strategies be recommended that increase health professionals’ perception of the COVID-19 outbreak and their compliance with the isolation precautions.

Mr. Kale has faced several regulatory audits and inspections from leading regulatory bodies including but not limited to DCGI, USFDA, ANVISA, Health Canada, UK MHRA, Turkey MoH, WHO. There are many challenges involved in the application of bioanalytical method on different populations. This includes difference in equipment, material and environment across laboratories, variations in the matrix characteristics in different populations, differences in techniques between analysts such as sample processing and handling and others. Additionally, there is variability in the PK of a drug in different populations. This article shows the effect of different populations on validated bioanalytical method and on the PK of a drug. Hence, the bioanalytical method developed and validated for a specific population may need required modification when applied to another population. Critical consideration of all such aspects is the key to successful implementation of a validated method on different populations.

Infection control is a top priority for hospitals, especially in intensive care units (ICU). In intensive care units, prevalence of infection is estimated to be 30% worldwide, which is a major cause of morbidity and mortality. Many factors are known to increase the risk of infection in ICU patients. Since each of these may lead to different infections, it is important to recognize and identify predisposing factors for early diagnosis and treatment. The regional health care-associated infections (HCAI) prevalence and distribution of risk factors are important strategies in infection control. In this regard, the aim of this point prevalence study was to obtain data related to infections, the prevalence of HCAI among these infections, the epidemiology, agents and antibiotics used among adult ICU patients in the university hospitals, training and research hospitals and public hospitals located in eight of the cities of our region. In the light of these data, we aimed to review and emphasize the guidelines on HCAI prevention. The study included adult ICU patients followed up in nine hospitals in the Eastern and South-eastern Anatolia Regions of eight different cities (Sivas, Erzurum, Mardin, Batman, Diyarbakir Elazig, Van, Adiyaman) in Turkey. Of the hospitals six were university hospitals, one was training and research hospital, and two were public hospitals. The number of beds ranged from 358 to 1418. A specific day was determined on which the researchers concurrently carried out a prospective surveillance in all adult intensive care unit patients. The researchers collected data and recorded the demographic characteristics (age, gender), underlying diseases, length of hospital stay, presence of invasive intervention (urinary catheter, central venous catheter, external ventricular drainage, mechanical ventilator, presence of risk factors such as burn, trauma and surgery, number of infection cases, type of infection (hospital-acquired, community-acquired), type of microorganisms and whether polymicrobial or monomicrobial, which antibiotics were administered, and duration of antibiotic treatment. Our study assessed data of 429 inpatients in the adult ICU of nine hospitals in eight different cities. There were a total of 881 intensive care beds in these hospitals, and 740 (84%) beds were occupied. Of the study group 49.7% was male with a mean age (min-max) of 64.08 ± 18.78 (2-97) years. The point prevalence of HCAI was 21.7% (n= 93). Of the patients who were followed-up 182 (42.4%) presented infections. Of these infections, 21.4% were diagnosed as community-acquired pneumonia, 18.6% were ventilator-associated pneumonia (VAP), 16.3% were communityacquired urinary tract infection (UTI), and 16.3% were bloodstream infection. In addition, the most commonly administered antibiotics in the study group were piperacillin/tazobactam, carbapenem, quinolone and ceftriaxone, respectively. The most common types of HCAI were community-acquired pneumonia (10.7%), ventilator-associated pneumonia (8.9%) and bloodstream infections (8.2%). The mean length of hospital stay was 32.05 ± 66.85 (1-459) days and the mean duration of antibiotic therapy in patients with HCAIs was 7.76 ± 7.11 (1-41) days. The most widely accepted method to handle infection is to carry out active, prospective and patient-based surveillance studies on a regular basis, and to take control measures and arrange appropriate treatment in the light of the data obtained. We attribute the high prevalence of HCAI in our region to lack of personnel, lack of materials, inappropriate use of antibiotics, insufficiency of physical conditions, and little support for infection control committees. In conclusion, we emphasize that it is of importance to work closely with the hospital administration to take measures and that necessary assistance is provided.

Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) has become a pandemic infectious disease and become a serious public health crisis. As the COVID-19 pandemic continues to spread, it is of vital importance to detect COVID-19 clusters to better distribute resources and optimizing measures. This study helps the surveillance of the COVID-19 pandemic and discovers major space-time clusters of reported cases in European countries. Prospective space-time scan statistics are particularly valuable because it has detected active and emerging COVID-19 clusters. It can prompt public health decision makers when and where to improve targeted interventions, testing locations, and necessary isolation measures, and the allocation of medical resources to reduce further spread.Using the daily case data of various countries provided by the European Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, we used SaTScan™ 9.6 to conduct a prospective space-time scan statistics analysis. We detected statistically significant space-time clusters of COVID-19 at the European country level between March 1st to October 2nd, 2020 and March 1st to October 2nd, 2021. Using ArcGIS to draw the spatial distribution map of COVID-19 in Europe, showing the emerging clusters that appeared at the end of our study period detected by Poisson prospective space-time scan statistics.The results show that among the 49 countries studied, the regions with the largest number of reported cases of COVID-19 are Western Europe, Central Europe, and Eastern Europe. Among the 49 countries studied, the country with the largest cumulative number of reported cases is the United Kingdom, followed by Russia, Turkey, France, and Spain. The country (or region) with the lowest cumulative number of reported cases is the Faroe Islands. We discovered 9 emerging clusters, including 21 risky countries.This result can provide timely information to national public health decision makers. For example, a country needs to improve the allocation of medical resources and epidemic detection points, or a country needs to strengthen entry and exit testing, or a country needs to strengthen the implementation of protective isolation measures. As the data is updated daily, new data can be re-analyzed to achieve real-time monitoring of COVID-19 in Europe. This study uses Poisson prospective space-time scan statistics to monitor COVID-19 in Europe.

Abstract Background Health chances and risks of people with a history of migration vary according to a wide range of social, migration-related as well as structural factors. Aim of this contribution is to describe the health of people with selected citizenships living in Germany on the basis of various health indicators from the field of non-communicable diseases and to identify relevant determinants of the respective outcomes. Methods Analyses are based on data from the multilingual and multimodal interview survey GEDA Fokus, which was conducted from 11/21 until 05/22 among 18- to 79-year-old people with Croatian, Italian, Polish, Syrian or Turkish citizenship living in Germany. Poisson regressions were used to calculate prevalence ratios and 95% confidence intervals to examine the association between the individual indicators (chronic diseases or long-term health problems, coronary heart disease, diabetes mellitus and depression) and various social as well as migration-related characteristics. Results In particular, older age, low income, a longer duration of stay, a low sense of belonging to society in Germany and self-reported experiences of discrimination in everyday life are associated with higher prevalence of all the health outcomes. Conclusions Given the importance of subjective sense of belonging to the society in Germany and self-reported experiences of discrimination for the health outcomes studied, the results point to health inequalities among people of selected citizenships that are partly caused by mechanisms of social exclusion. Key messages • Low income, self-reported experiences of discrimination in everyday life and a lower sense of belonging to society in Germany are associated with increased prevalence of non-communicable diseases. • Social and structural exclusion mechanisms must be sustainably dismantled in order to ensure health equity.

Obesity, a complex and multifactorial disease causing severe health problems, is still the second most important cause of preventable deaths after smoking. Another risk is that childhood obesity is associated with overweight and obesity in adulthood. This study provides information on the prevalence of overweight and obesity in primary school students and their parents on location (rural v urban) and gender.In this population-based, cross-sectional study, the anthropometric and demographic data of 9786 children and 6855 parents were analyzed. The study was conducted between 1 October 2016 and 30 November 2016 on a sample representing all public and private primary school students aged 6-10 years in Samsun province, Turkey. The multi-stage stratified sampling method was used in selecting the research sample according to the number of district students, the number of public/private primary school students, and the number of rural/urban students. In the BMI values classification, cut-off points in the age- and gender-specific growth charts of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention were used for students, and the International Obesity Task Force cut-offs were used for parents or guardians. After the data acquisition was completed, a questionnaire form developed by the researchers was sent to the parents through the students. While children's anthropometric measurements were performed in their classrooms, parents or guardians self-reported their weight and height. Statistical Package for the social Sciences v22.0 was used for statistical analysis of the data.The study group consisted of 5005 (51.1%) boys and 4781 (48.9%) girls. The 6855 parents comprised 5258 (76.7%) mothers and 1597 (23.3%) fathers. The mean age was 8.2&plusmn;1.2 years in children and 36.2&plusmn;6.7 years in parents. Obesity prevalence was 10.5% in children and 20.2% in their parents. Childhood obesity was more prevalent in boys and in those living in urban areas (12.0% and 12.3%, respectively) than in girls and in those living in rural areas (9.0% and 4.5%, respectively). Conversely, adulthood obesity was more frequent in females and in those living in rural areas (20.4% and 21.8%, respectively) than in males and in those living in urban areas (19.7% and 20.4%, respectively).BMI values were higher among those of male gender and those living in rural areas. Combating obesity requires further multidisciplinary research to reveal the reasons for the differences based on place and gender, especially on nutrition and healthy lifestyle behaviors.

Objective: This study was conducted to determine osteoporosis health beliefs and self-efficacy of Turkish women and to investigate the relationship between women’s characteristics with osteoporosis health beliefs and self-efficacy. Methods: The study was planned as descriptive and cross-sectional study design. A convenience sample of 296 volunteer women who applied to the outpatient clinic of one public hospital was recruited. Data were collected via a questionnaire form, the Osteoporosis Health Belief Scale (OHBS) and the Osteoporosis Self-Efficacy Scale (OSES). The questionnaire form and scales were completed by the participants. Since the scales used self-reports, the inclusion criteria of this study required participants to be primary school graduates and being 18 age. Results: The participants’ OHBS subscales average scores were susceptibility,18.53±4.74; seriousness,14.68±4.46; benefits of exercise, 23.82±5.06; benefits of calcium intake, 22.12±4.63; barriers to exercise, 16.15±4.75; barriers to calcium intake,14.68±4.46; health motivation, 22.80±4.7. The total OHBS average score was 138.27±17.93. It was determined that the women’s total OSES average score was 790.64±260.96. The subscales of OSES; OSE-Exercise Scale average score was 361.38±162.72, and the OSE-Calcium Scale average score was 429.25±147.57. Conclusion: The levels of health beliefs and self-efficacy regarding osteoporosis of women were low. Nevertheless, women’s perceived benefits scores were found higher than perceived barriers. Nursing can take part in providing education to the public about life-long bone health, and they can also provide information about how to prevent osteoporosis and fracture risk.

BackgroundDiabetes mellitus is a significant global public health concern. Poor knowledge of disease and healthcare utilization is associated with poor health outcomes, leading to increasing burden of diabetes in many developing countries. The present study aimed to assess diabetes health literacy and clinical outcomes in elderly patients registered to the home health agency. MethodsA cross-sectional study was conducted in the city of Çorum, Turkey, with 160 type 2 diabetic patients of both sexes and aged between 50-91 years. To identify health literacy, the Rapid Estimate of Adult Literacy in Medicine test was administered to the patients. Clinical parameters were based on routine medical examinations by measuring blood pressure levels, glycosylated hemoglobin, and lipoprotein levels. In order to identify the risk of depression, the Beck Depression Scale was used. ResultsOf the patients, 85.0% had limited health literacy. The majority of patients (95.0%) had poor glycemic control and limited health literacy was associated with having high level of HbA1c (p&lt;0.05). Adequate health literacy was associated with regular foot care (p&lt;0.05). Also patients with limited health literacy were more likely to have depression (p&lt;0.001). Limited health literacy increased the risk of poor glycemic control (OR=6.82;95% CI=1.34-9.78) and retinopathy (OR=6.91;95% CI=1.23-9.44). ConclusionLimited health literacy is consistently associated with poorer diabetes clinical outcomes in elderly type 2 diabetes melltius Contents of diabetes education should be arranged according to patients’ health literacy level which requires visual and auditory teaching materials for patients with limited health literacy.

The introduction of national strategies aimed at improving the well-being of the population of the country is one of the current approaches to reforming the public policies of the countries of the world. It is the socioeconomic determinants of health that determine the conditions in which people are born, grow, live and getting old, as well as the spheres of influence on these conditions, such as public policy, state of economic development, demographic trends, etc.&#x0D; The aim. In this way, our research has focused on a comparative analysis of macroeconomic indicators that determine the effectiveness of socioeconomic determinants of healthсare in Europe and Ukraine, that are used to provide scientific justification for the construction of humanistic models for the provision of pharmaceutical care to the population in the context of the rapid stratification of Ukrainian society according to socioeconomic indicators.&#x0D; Materials and methods. The research methodology is based on the principles of systems analysis and an interdisciplinary scientific and systemic approach. The study used the empirical method, the method of comparative analysis and synthesis of statistical data, the graphical method.&#x0D; Results. A comparative analysis of the socioeconomic determinants of health in the countries of the European region and in Ukraine was carried out on three levels of indicators: the level of health-care expenditure, the structure of health-care expenditure and expenditure on medicines.&#x0D; The analysis revealed that in 2019, the average health expenditure of the countries analyzed was 8.2 % of GDP. Only two of the 34 countries - Ukraine and Turkey - have a rate below the 5 % that recommended by WHO.&#x0D; Public health financing schemes and compulsory health insurance are the main funding mechanisms in all countries, with the exception of Cyprus. Ukraine, Russia, Greece, Latvia and Bulgaria have the largest share of direct costs to patients as a source of health care financing.&#x0D; The results of the analysis of the medicine expenditure indicator as a proportion of total health expenditure showed that the highest level was in Bulgaria (35.4 %), the lowest in Denmark (6.4 %). Overall, five countries have high levels of pharmaceutical expenditures.&#x0D; In most European countries, the cost of purchasing medicines has been found to range from 346 to 619 USD per person per year. The highest value of this indicator from the European region is in Switzerland (894 USD per person), and the lowest is in Ukraine (73 USD).&#x0D; Based on the results of the comparative analysis, the countries were grouped according to key indicators into three categories - high, medium and low.&#x0D; Conclusions. A comparative analysis of key indicators of the socio-economic determinants of health in the country of the European region has been carried out

Turkey has experienced a substantial development in Total Quality Management (TQM), measurement, and monitoring of hospitals. Ministry of Health has developed the Quality Standards in Healthcare (QSH) in order to adapt to international quality standards of health care to the health care services as a result of long research and experience. This study aimed to determine the effects of QSH applied in a public hospital on the quality performance of the organization. The researchers used a performance measurement model to measure the impact of the recently developed QSH on the quality performance and organizational excellence of a 320-bed public hospital in a developing country. Successful applying of TQM in hospitals requires the involvement and commitment of all health care providers. The study was carried out in an attempt to explore the attitude of health care providers applying TQM practices on hospital performance in a general public hospital. We collected data from 302 healthcare providers. We used a structured questionnaire to collect data. The study was based on total quality management theory and Kanji's Business Excellence (KBEM) model. The study used a 10-point Likert-type scale. The Structural Equation Model (SEM) was used to test whether the data obtained from the participants supported the model. The variable mean scores and path coefficients were calculated. The data were collected in five different periods between July 2017 and January 2019. The results of the study showed that the average attitudes of nurses, physicians, and administrative staff about the factors of hospital quality performance differed from the attitudes of technical staff. The study results reflected some strong areas, notably leadership, customer/patient satisfaction, quality management process, measurement, and organizational excellence. The results indicated that the hospital organization was mainly based on institutional excellence, quality improvement and patient safety, leadership and management performance, patient satisfaction and institutional learning, corporate ethical performance. The results also identified opportunities for improvement in QSH standards for human resource management and the absence of standards that address existing issues in organizations with organizational structures.&#x0D; &#x0D; &lt;p&gt; &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt; Article visualizations:&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;img src="/-counters-/edu_01/0889/a.php" alt="Hit counter" /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

Abstract Previous research on health disparities between immigrant and native populations has put the emphasis on individual socio-economic factors. However, poor health among immigrants might also be accounted for by risk factors linked to the place where they live. The aim of this study was to investigate the influence of contextual factors on disparities in self-rated health between immigrant groups. We used the Belgian census, covering 6,712,497 individuals aged 25-64 and living in private households. Subjective health and long-term illness were assessed for 15 groups of nationalities. Environmental nuisance, migrant concentration, lack of public service amenities, lack of social capital, and unemployment rate were the contextual factors computed at the neighborhood level. Logistic regression was used to analyze the influence of such factors, while controlling for socio-economic status. Compared with Belgians, immigrant groups from Turkey and Morocco were more likely to have poorer subjective health. Local unemployment rate and perceived lack of public services were associated with a higher risk of poor health status. These associations were weakened, but remained significant, after controlling for the composition of the neighbourhood. When contextual factors or socio-economic status were allowed for, all immigrant groups had a similar or even better health status than Belgians. The influence of contextual factors on migrant disparities in health were similar between metropolitan areas and non-metropolitan areas. We concluded that policies should aim at improving local opportunities in public services and tackling labour market discrimination.

Abstract Background Building the European Antimicrobial Resistance Surveillance network in Veterinary medicine (EARS-Vet) was proposed to strengthen the European One Health antimicrobial resistance (AMR) surveillance approach. Objectives The objectives were to (i) define the combinations of animal species, production types, age categories, bacterial species, specimens and antimicrobials to be monitored in EARS-Vet and to (ii) determine antimicrobial test panels able to cover most combinations. Methods The EARS-Vet scope was defined by consensus between 26 European experts. Decisions were guided by a survey of the combinations that are relevant and feasible to monitor in diseased animals in 13 European countries (bottom-up approach). Experts also considered the One Health approach and the need for EARS-Vet to complement existing European AMR monitoring systems coordinated by the European Centre for Disease Prevention and Control (ECDC) and the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA). Results EARS-Vet would monitor AMR in six animal species (cattle, swine, chicken (broiler and laying hen), turkey, cat and dog), for 11 bacterial species ( Escherichia coli , Klebsiella pneumoniae , Mannheimia haemolytica , Pasteurella multocida , Actinobacillus pleuropneumoniae , Staphylococcus aureus , Staphylococcus pseudintermedius , Staphylococcus hyicus , Streptococcus uberis , Streptococcus dysgalactiae and Streptococcus suis ). Relevant antimicrobials for their treatment were selected (e.g. tetracyclines) and complemented with antimicrobials of more specific public health interest (e.g. carbapenems). Three test panels of antimicrobials were proposed covering most EARS-Vet combinations of relevance for veterinary antimicrobial stewardship. Conclusions With this scope, EARS-Vet would enable to better address animal health in the strategy to mitigate AMR and better understand the multi-sectoral AMR epidemiology in Europe.

Preventive health behaviors are defined as the behaviors undertaken to avoid getting sick and to minimize the effects of the illness. Preventive health behaviors that vary according to each illness are affected by different psychosocial variables. The aim of this study is to determine the psychosocial factors that affect preventive health behaviors during the COVID-19 pandemic, for both COVID-19 patients and non-patients in Turkey, and examining the changes over time. The participants of the first wave study consisted of a total of 747 people, 372 (%48.8) of them were diagnosed with COVID-19 whereas 375 (%50.2) of them were not diagnosed with COVID-19. The second wave of the study consisted of a total of 515 participants, 264 (%51.3) of them were diagnosed with COVID-19, whereas 251 (%48.7) of them were not diagnosed with COVID-19. In addition to the Informed Consent Form; Socio-Demographic and Health Information Form and COVID-19 Preventive Health Behavior Questionnaire were given to volunteer participants via online survey link, with two months interval. As a result of the analyses, presence of chronic disease made a significant changes in the current level of adaptation to preventive health behavior for both groups. while being married and being over 46 years of age were other variables that made a significant difference in individuals diagnosed with COVID-19. In addition, it was found that belief in the effectiveness of preventive health behaviors increased over time, regardless of the state of diagnosis. It is thought that the findings will guide health practices by identifying psychosocial factors affecting the preventive health behaviors during COVID-19 pandemic, and shed light on the researchers for the future studies.

Abstract The incidence and mortality of traumatic brain injuries (TBI) among non-residents to countries where they occur remains unknown, warranting epidemiological research. Epidemiological data are key to inform prevention and public health policies related to TBI, as well as to help promote safe travelling practice. The aim of this study was to analyse the epidemiological patterns of TBI-related deaths among residents and non-residents in 30 European countries in 2015 using standardised European level data on causes of death. A large-scale cross-sectional study analysing TBI-related deaths in 30 European countries in 2015 among residents and non-residents to the country of occurrence of the death was conducted. Data from death certificates collected on European level by Eurostat were used to calculate the numbers of TBI-related deaths and estimate crude and age-standardised mortality rates. Rates were stratified by country, sex, age-group and by resident status. External causes of the injury were determined using the provided ICD-10 codes. 40,087 TBI-related deaths were identified; overall about 3% occurred among non-residents with highest proportions in Turkey (11%), Luxembourg (9%) and Cyprus (5%). Taking into account tourism intensity in the countries, Bulgaria, Greece and Austria showed highest rates of TBI-related deaths in non-residents: 0.7,0.5 and 0.5 per million overnight stays, respectively. The pooled age-standardised TBI-related mortality in non-residents was 0.2 (95% CI 0.1–0.3), among residents 10.4 (95% CI 9.4–11.5) per 100,000. In non-residents, TBI-related deaths were shifted to younger populations (86% in &lt; 35 years); in non-residents 78% were 15–64 years old. Falls were predominant among residents (47%), and traffic accidents among non-residents (36%). Male:female ratio was higher among non-residents (3.9), compared to residents (2.1). Extrapolating our findings, we estimate that annually 1022 TBI-related deaths would occur to non-residents in the EU-27 + UK and 1488 in Europe as a continent. We conclude, that the primary populations at risk of TBI-related deaths in European countries differ in several characteristics between residents and non-residents to the country of the occurrence of death, which warrants for different approaches in prevention and safety promotion. Our findings suggest that TBI occurring in European countries among non-residents present a problem worthy of attention from public health and travel medicine professionals and should be further studied.

Abstract The lockdown introduced in Georgia on November 28, 2020 brought positive results. There are clearly positive tendencies in the spread of COVID-19 to February - first half of March 2021. However, in April-May 2021 there was a significant deterioration in the epidemiological situation. In this work results of the next statistical analysis of the daily data associated with New Coronavirus COVID-19 infection of confirmed (C), recovered (R), deaths (D) and infection rate (I) cases of the population of Georgia in the period from March 01, 2021 to May 31, 2021 are presented. It also presents the results of the analysis of two-week forecasting of the values of C, D and I. The information was regularly sent to the National Center for Disease Control &amp; Public Health of Georgia and posted on the Facebook page https://www.facebook.com/Avtandil1948/ . The analysis of data is carried out with the use of the standard statistical analysis methods of random events and methods of mathematical statistics for the non-accidental time-series of observations. In particular, the following results were obtained. Georgia’s ranking in the world for Covid-19 monthly mean values of infection and deaths cases in spring 2021 (per 1 million population) was determined. Among 156 countries with population ≥ 1 million inhabitants in May 2021 Georgia was in the 11 place on new infection cases and in the 14 place on Death. A comparison between the daily mortality from Covid-19 in Georgia in spring 2021 with the average daily mortality rate in 2015-2019 shows, that the largest share value of D from mean death in 2015-2019 was 25.3 % (22.05.2021), the smallest 1.42 % (15.03.2021). Data about infection rate of the population of Georgia with Covid-19 according to traffic light system shown, that Georgia in April and May 2021 was in the red zone. The statistical analysis of the daily and decade data associated with coronavirus COVID-19 pandemic of confirmed, recovered, deaths cases and infection rate of the population of Georgia are carried out. Maximum daily values of investigation parameters are following: C = 2171 (05.05.2021), R = 2038 (17.05.2021), D = 33 (22.05.2021), I = 8.05 % (04.05.2020). Maximum mean decade values of investigation parameters are following: C = 1258 (3 Decade of April 2021), R = 1283 (2 Decade of May 2021), D = 24 (2 Decade of May 2021), I = 6.54 % (1 Decade of May 2021). It was found that as with September 2020 to February 2021 [8], in spring 2021 the regression equations for the time variability of the daily values of C, R and D have the form of a tenth order polynomial. Mean values of speed of change of confirmed -V(C), recovered - V(R), deaths - V(D) and infection rate V(I) coronavirus-related cases in different decades of months in the spring 2021 were determined. Maximum mean decade values of investigation parameters are following: V(C) = +37 cases/day (1 Decade of April 2021), V(R) = +36 cases/day (3 Decade of April 2021), V(D) = +0.6 cases/day (3 Decade of April 2021), V(I) = + 0.17 %/ day (2 and 3 decades of April 2021). Cross-correlations analysis between confirmed COVID-19 cases with recovered and deaths cases shows, that the maximum effect of recovery is observed 9 and 13 days after infection, and deaths - after 12-17 days. Comparison of real and calculated predictions data of C, D and I in Georgia are carried out. It was found that two-week daily and mean two-week real values of C, D and I practically fall into the 67% - 99.99% confidence interval of these predicted values for the specified time periods. The comparison of data about C and D in Georgia (GEO) with similar data in Armenia (ARM), Azerbaijan (AZE), Russia (RUS), Turkey (TUR) and in the World (WRL) is also carried out.

Abstract The demonstrations in Syria in 2011 became an uncompromising conflict that divided the country into three main areas of control: governmental areas, northeast Syria, and Northwest Syria. A series of United Nations resolutions adopted in 2014 authorizing official cross-border humanitarian aid in opposition-held areas to allow humanitarian agencies and organizations to use routes across the border from neighborhood countries like Turkey to deliver humanitarian assistance to people in need in Syria. The resolution was extended annually until 2021 when it was adapted to involve a cross-line humanitarian response from governmental areas besides cross-border operations. The last adaptation of the cross-border resolution, whose original form was interpreted as a politicized action by Russia and China, implicates an unframed and unplanned transition from an emergency to an Early Recovery status. Without an appropriate framework for the current geopolitical complexity in Syria, Early Recovery programs are doomed to fail, resulting in further complications in the political and humanitarian scenes. Moreover, the effectiveness of the cross-line mechanism is questionable, considering the lack of accessibility and acceptability for Damascus-based humanitarian operations in areas out of government control. The article reviews studies about Early Recovery guidelines and operational frameworks of health systems recovery in post-conflict settings to derive a practical and hybrid framework for operationalizing health system recovery in Northwest Syria, considering current geopolitical and humanitarian circumstances. This article draws upon the six building blocks of the health system, the essential package of public health services, Early Recovery integration criteria, health system resilience dimensions in the literature, and public health determinants to identify context-specific health system recovery challenges and priorities. As a result, we introduce a new health system recovery framework, which is operationalized for the context of Northwest Syria.

Abstract Background Water pipe smoking has become a global public health problem as its popularity increased over time, especially among youth. The objective of our study was to estimate water pipe tobacco smoking prevalence and to assess socioeconomic factors associated with ever water pipe smoking by public and private university students in Ankara, Turkey. Methods This descriptive study was based on a survey conducted among public ( n =2685) and private ( n =2485) university students via an online questionnaire on demographics and water pipe consumption patterns. For every student in the sample, a socioeconomic status index was calculated using principal component analysis. Binary logistic regressions for the outcome variable of ever-using water pipe yielded estimates of adjusted odds ratios (aORs) for the associated factors such as the respondent’s age, gender, university type, and socioeconomic status. Results The prevalence of ever use of water pipe was 69.1% (95% CI: 67.2-70.9%) among private and 59.1% (95% CI: 57.2-60.9%) among public university students. A substantial share of ever users were current users (25.5% in private versus 21.6% in public, p =0.008). On average, private university students had higher socioeconomic status than public university students (for example, access to a car (51.7% versus 35.8%, p =0.008), financial support from family (71.5% versus 65.1%, p &lt;0.001)), also demonstrated by a higher socioeconomic status index. Being a private university student (aOR 1.57, 95% CI: 1.38-1.79), older (aORs 1.50 to 2.39, p &lt;0.001), male (aOR 2.36, 95% CI:2.06-2.70), as well as having greater financial resources, such as having access to a car (aOR 1.24, 95% CI:1.07-1.42), or having income support from family (aOR 1.32, 95% CI:1.13-1.54), were associated with ever-using water pipe. A higher SES index was significantly associated with higher odds of ever using water pipe among both private (aOR 1.13, 95% CI:1.06,1.20) and public university (aOR 1.12, 95% CI:1.06,1.19) students. Conclusions Water pipe smoking was common in both public and private universities; however, private university students had higher odds of ever using water pipe. There is an urgent need to implement evidence-based interventions, taking into account the socioeconomic status of young adults, to prevent them from water pipe smoking.

Objective: One third of approximately 1.5 billion smokers live in 10 countries, which involves Turkey. Smoking cessation clinics are increasing day by day. However, long term smoking cessation rates are unsatisfactory. The aim of this research is to calculate success rates for the patients who admitted to smoking cessation outpatient clinic in light of the data that will be obtained from follow-ups, to determine their tobacco-use behaviours, the complicating and facilitating factors that are encountered during smoking cessation process and calculate effectiveness of different therapy modalities for tobacco cessation, thereby to contribute to tobacco control strategies, and to increase the success of tobacco cessation interventions. Material and Methods: 114 patients who admitted to smoking cessation clinic were followed up for 6 months. Patients? status of restarting smoking during follow-up was calculated based on even if smoking just a draw (slip) criterion. Results: The periods without smoking for participants whose spouses do not smoke, who used treatment for 28 days and more and whose type of treatment is varenicline were longer. In multivariate analyses, non-smoker spouse, long treatment period and varenicline use as treatment option were found to be factors positively affecting the success rate. Conclusion: The mean period without smoking for the participants in the first month found to be 12.8 days, have revealed that close follow-up of the patient in this early period is very critical in smoking cessation process. In addition to provision of proper treatment to patients, ensuring that the patient uses this treatment for a sufficient amount of time is also important in tobacco cessation process. Concomitant treatment of tobacco sing partners or encouraging the non-smoker partner to actively participate in treatment process may increase the success rate of tobacco cessation.

Context: Infections caused by the hepatitis B virus (HBV) pose a major challenge to the public health and also results in high mortality and morbidity rates in different parts of the world, especially in children. This study performed a systematic review and a meta-analysis of cross-sectional studies conducted during the years 2000-16 to clarify the prevalence of hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg) in children and adolescents younger than 16 years of age in EMRO and Middle Eastern (E and M) countries. Evidence Acquisition: Scientific databases including PubMed, Ovid, Scopus, Google Scholar, and Persian databases were searched for relevant articles published from January 1, 2000 to October 31, 2016. Based on the results of homogeneity tests (a significant homogeneity test and a large I2 value) a random effects model was used to aggregate the collected data and calculate the pooled prevalence estimates. Results: We included 20 articles in our meta-analysis. The pooled HBsAg prevalence in children of E and M countries was 2.73% (95% CI: %1.73% - 3.72%). The prevalence rates in the EMRO and Middle Eastern countries were 1.85% (95% CI: 1.27% - 2.43%) and 2.66% (95% CI: 1.31% - 4.01%), respectively. The prevalence rates amongst children in nations considered in more than one study were 0.81% (95% CI: 0% - 1.74%) in Iran, 2.64% (95% CI: 1.63% - 3.64%) in Pakistan, and 5.83% (95% CI: 2.99% - 8.67%) in Turkey. Conclusions: Based on the world health organization classification of HBV prevalence, intermediate HBsAg prevalence rates were detected in children of E and M countries during 2000 - 2016. Nevertheless, the prevalence rates were low in several included countries in mentioned regions.

BackgroundDemographic changes, ageing populations and increasing numbers of patients with multiple long-term conditions (multimorbidity) means health systems must change organisation and delivery to match patient need. Health systems globally are therefore looking to implement ?integrated care? as a means to achieve better health system outcomes (health gain, cost-effectiveness, and user satisfaction [1]). The NHS is no exception.The 2012 Health and Social Care Act, which also created the Clinical Commissioning Groups (CCGs), mandated that these new clinically-led organisations act to support integration of care [2]. However, there is little known about the implementation of integrated care and how CCGs have utilised the flexibility that they have been provided.This project, therefore, examines a random sample of CCGs and compares the models of integrated care in practice to date.Materials and methodsAll of the publically available literature from a random sample of 10% (n=21) of the 211 CCGs was examined to determine the models of ?integrated care? being implemented.The model in each CCG was categorised with the aid of an extant health systems framework [1], and models compared across the sample. Results were discussed in terms of innovation displayed by the new CCGs.ResultsAlthough the source of information (CCG reports) limited the detail of what could be extracted, there was a clear dominance (n=17/21, 81%) of a single particular model of integrated care present as the primary practice in the NHS. This model can be described as multi-disciplinary case management of high-risk patients, and tends to focus on reducing these patients? use of acute, secondary care services.ConclusionsAt the CCG-level, there appears to be a focus on integrating care via ?service delivery? interventions, focussed on a small minority of patients determined to be at most risk. The evidence base for this particular intervention is limited at present [3], potentially requiring more justification in terms of health system outcomes.This clear dominance of a single model also shows limited evidence of innovation, given the potential for flexibility at the CCG-level.ReferencesAtun R, Aydin S, Chakraborty S, S�mer S, Aran M, G�rol I, Nazlioilu S, �zg�lc� E, Aydoian �, Ayar B, et al.: Universal health coverage in Turkey: enhancement of equity.Lancet 2013, 382:65-99.

Background Germany has become an important immigration country and health services need to adopt to meet the needs of an increasingly multicultural population. For public health planning, it is essential to understand the aetiology of health problems among migrant populations. The main objective was to systematically identify, evaluate and synthesise population-based studies that investigated exposure–outcome relationships among migrant groups in Germany. Methods In November 2019, we searched PubMed and LIVIVO, and updated this search in November 2020, to identify peer-reviewed publications that fulfilled our eligibility criteria: English or German language; study on disease aetiology among major migrant groups in Germany, according to the latest microcensus; publication date from inception to 01 November 2020 and observational or experimental study designs. For quality appraisal, we used the Critical Appraisal Skills Programme checklists. Outcomes under investigation were categorised according to the WHO major disease groups, and their associations with risk factors were synthesised as a heat map. Results Out of 2407 articles retrieved, we included 68 publications with a total number of 864 518 participants. These publications reported on cross-sectional data (n=56), cohort studies (n=11) and one intervention study. The population groups most frequently studied were from the Middle East (n=28), Turkey (n=24), sub-Saharan Africa (n=24), Eastern Europe (n=15) and the former Soviet Union (n=11). The outcomes under study were population group specific. There were consistent associations of demographic and socioeconomic factors with ill health among migrants in Germany. Discussion In this systematic review, we observed low risk of bias in two-thirds of the studies. There is an increasing body of evidence for aetiological research on migrants’ health in Germany. Still, the directions of associations between a wide range of risk factors and major disease groups seem only partially understood. PROSPERO registration number CRD42018085074.

The maternal-child health services remain an important indicator to look at how different countries have handled the pandemic. This study aims to investigate the effect of the COVID-19 pandemic on maternal and child healthcare use and evaluate data on stillbirths and infant mortality.In this descriptive, cross-sectional study, a retrospective analysis was performed on 293 stillbirths and 324 infant deaths, which occurred in Samsun Province of Turkey between 1 March 2018 and 1 March 2021. The study period was examined in three groups as pre-pandemic period 1 (1 March 2018-28 February 2019), pre-pandemic period 2 (1 March 2019-29 February 2020) and pandemic period (1 March 2020-28 February2021).The study found that the share of difficulties in delivering health-care services to the families (may be due to reasons such as difficulty in accessing health services for those living in rural areas, disruption of the referral chain) in stillbirths and infant deaths has decreased during the COVID-19 pandemic compared to previous years (p = 0.037 in stillbirths, p = 0.002 in infant deaths). The mean number of follow-up visits during pregnancy has partially reduced during the pandemic (p > 0.05). Other variables of the health-care services have remained similar to years before the pandemic (p > 0.05). The rate of families without health insurance (p = 0.001 in stillbirths, p = 0.001 in infant deaths) and unemployed persons contributing to family budget (p = 0.012 in stillbirths, p = 0.016 in infant deaths) has significantly decreased during the pandemic.In our study, it was determined that the variables of stillbirth and infant mortality during the COVID-19 pandemic period, and maternal and child health services in primary care and hospitals continued to provide services in a similar way to the pre-pandemic period. Compared to pre-pandemic periods during the COVID-19 pandemic, it was found that while the number of stillbirths was similar, there was a significant decrease in infant mortality.

There were some grounds for hope that the COVID-19 pandemic would be under control by now. Huge scientific advances have been made in our understanding of COVID-19, as well as its countermeasures. Countries have had 18 months to understand which policies work, and to develop strategies accordingly. Yet the pandemic is at a dangerous and shifting stage. Almost 10 000 deaths are reported globally every day. National responses to COVID-19 range from the complete lifting of restrictions in Denmark, to new state-wide lockdowns in Australia, and a growing political and public health crisis in the USA. In the UK, the number of infections is rising again, putting unsustainable pressure on the health service. Health workers are exhausted. The response to WHO's call for global solidarity to combat COVID-19 has been derisory. The pandemic remains a global emergency. The handling of the pandemic is becoming increasingly politicised, with many public health decisions informed by partisan division instead of science. The conflation of the two is damaging public trust in both governments and scientists. For example, vaccine hesitancy has become a major issue in the USA due to the unprecedented political polarisation that has affected virtually all aspects of the US pandemic response. There is a sharp geopolitical contrast in vaccine uptake, with polls showing vaccine acceptance of 52·8% in Democrat counties versus 39·9% in Republican counties. This situation is no longer a debate about a public health crisis. In France, Italy, and the USA, the discussion has evolved into a division over the touchstones of democracy: freedom of individual choice versus the power of governments attempting to safeguard citizens. US President Joe Biden, in attempts to combat vaccine hesitancy, has imposed the most dramatic vaccine mandates to date. The US paradox shows how a scientific superpower can be plunged into chaos. COVID-19 continues to spread globally. The current hot spots are the USA, Brazil, and India, followed by the UK, Turkey, Philippines, and Russia. As vaccine roll-out advances, many high-income countries have lifted most restrictions, often without considering lessons learnt from other countries. For instance, Israel, the first country to vaccinate most of its population, jumped at lifting all restrictions by June, 2021, when hospital admissions and deaths were substantially reduced. However, Israel is seeing a sharp rise in COVID-19 cases caused by the delta (B.1.617.2) variant. The Israeli experience shows the continual need to monitor vaccine protection; the importance of identification and understanding of variants of concern; and the fact that vaccines are not wholly effective at stopping the transmission of the virus, but are very effective at protecting against disease. Scientists themselves remain divided on the best approach to vaccination programmes and there are notable differences between countries, specifically around the roll-out of booster vaccination and the vaccination of children. The authors of a recent Viewpoint in The Lancet argue that, although many high-income countries are beginning to offer booster vaccination, evidence of the need for boosters in the general population is still lacking. Global vaccination is the best approach to ending the pandemic, but equitable delivery of COVID-19 vaccines remains painfully slow. More than 5·7 billion vaccine doses have been administered globally, but only 2% of those have been in Africa. Such vaccine inequality is not only unjust, but it undermines global health security and economic recovery. COVAX has indisputably helped to deliver vaccines more widely and more quickly than otherwise would have occurred—in 6 months, 240 million doses have been delivered to 139 countries—but this is not enough. COVAX has inherent shortcomings and is well short of the goal of distributing 2 billion doses (20% of the world population) by the end of 2021. Global solidarity to address the pandemic is further away today than ever. We are not learning as an interdependent world. Yet it need not be this way. As The Lancet goes to press, President Biden is convening a COVID-19 summit at the UN General Assembly to call for greater ambition when it comes to equitable vaccination—but it is not a pledging conference. The former UK Prime Minister Gordon Brown had proposed an emergency G7 vaccine summit at the General Assembly to enable unused vaccine supplies to be transferred to COVAX. The G20 meeting, to be held in Rome, Oct 30–31, would be an even more powerful venue to agree action. The G20 includes critically important nations missing from the G7—Brazil, China, India, Russia, and South Africa—thereby increasing the legitimacy of commitment. Agreement within the G20 could kick-start delivery of vaccines to reach two-thirds of the world's population by mid-2022. It is doable.

Emerging markets represent an exceptional opportunity for the pharmaceutical industry. Although a precise definition is not yet available, economists define emerging markets as developing prosperous countries in which investment is expected to result in higher income despite high risks. Qualifying a market as emerging is not merely based on the economic status of the country, but also on several criteria that render the definition applicable to each country. Jim O’Neil, retired chairman of asset management at Goldman Sachs, identified leading economies of emerging markets: Brazil, Russia, India, and China (BRIC) and later Brazil, Russia, India, China, and South Africa (BRICS) and then Mexico, Indonesia, South Korea, and Turkey (MIST), which followed years later as the second tier of nations. Sales of the pharmaceutical markets in BRICS and MIST countries doubled in 5 years, reaching a market share of approximately 20%. The shift toward these new markets has been attributed to the large populations, growing prosperity, and increasing life expectancy in BRICS and MIST countries. In addition, companies are experiencing flattened growth of developed markets, expiration of patents leading to the up-selling of less expensive generic drugs, and tight regulations enforced in mature markets. Particular attention must therefore be given to these emerging markets. The strategies adopted by pharmaceutical companies that want to expand in these markets must be tailored to the pace of development of each country. These countries need drugs against infectious diseases and communicable diseases such as sexually transmitted diseases. They are readily exploitable territories for the innovative products of pharmaceuticals. Nevertheless, with the increase in wealth and longevity, a change of lifestyle is occurring. These changes accompany a shift in disease patterns. A disproportionally fast rise in the incidence of noncommunicable diseases such as cardiovascular illnesses, diabetes, and oncologic diseases has been observed in emerging markets, mimicking their Western counterparts. The incidence of diabetes and oncologic diseases is expected to grow by 20% or more by 2030. This shows that pharmaceutical industries will also be able to market their global products in these new countries. Conquering emerging markets can be challenging for industries. These challenges can be grouped into 3 categories: infrastructure development, cost-containment policies, and value-driven drug evaluation. Top strategies considered to overcome these challenges include adequate tailoring and a gain in market.

Lung cancer (LC) is the most common malignancy responsible for 1.8 million of deaths worldwide. Lung and bronchus cancer represents 13% (n = 1217) of all new cancer cases in Georgia. In 2018, in Georgian males lung cancer age-standardized incidence rate was 35.7/per 100 000, less compared to regional countries as Turkey (70.6), Russia (48.2), Ukraine (41.7), and Armenia (58.5), but higher than in neighbor Azerbaijan (25.5). Incidence is higher compared to central and eastern Europe (27.3) and near similar to North America (34.5). Georgia is an Eastern European, middleincome country with 3.7 million residents and one of the highest numbers of active smokers in the European Region. The Georgian health care system is divided into a public and a private sector, with coverage of nearly 100% of the population. There is a national healthcare system as well as private insurance and all patients, irrespective of insurance (private or governmental) can choose the hospital for treatment by themselves all over the country. The Basic Package of the Universal Health Care Program includes the treatment of oncologic patients, specifically surgery, chemotherapy, hormone therapy and radiotherapy and investigations and medications related to these procedures. The program covers all types of laboratory and instrumental investigations related to planned treatment. Georgia lacks an LC screening program for smokers and partially because of this, the majority of patients with lung cancer present at an advanced stage. The National Centre for the Disease Control (NCDC) showed that almost 90% of LC patients in the country present with advanced stages (III-IV) with 60% of patients having stage IV disease at diagnosis . Lung cancer is generally diagnosed at an advanced stage. For non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), the proportion with metastatic disease (TNM stage IV) ranged from 46.8% to 61.2% in developed countries. In recent years, there have been several publications addressing specifics of LC worldwide, but none concerning Georgia. In light of the rapidly changing landscape in the diagnosis, staging, and treatment of LC, we thought to define the state of practice in Georgia by convening specialists who treat LC across 13 institutions in our country with the goal to describe differences in access and approaches to LC.

Low back pain (LBP) is the most common musculoskeletal disorder globally. Providing region- and national-specific information on the burden of low back pain is critical for local healthcare policy makers. The present study aimed to report, compare, and contextualize the prevalence, incidence and years lived with disability (YLDs) of low back pain in the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) region by age, sex and sociodemographic index (SDI), from 1990 to 2019.Publicly available data were obtained from the Global Burden of Disease (GBD) study 2019. The burden of LBP was reported for the 21 countries located in the MENA region, from 1990 to 2019. All estimates were reported as counts and age-standardised rates per 100,000 population, together with their corresponding 95% uncertainty intervals (UIs).In 2019, the age-standardised point prevalence and incidence rate per 100,000 in MENA were 7668.2 (95% UI 6798.0 to 8363.3) and 3215.9 (95%CI 2838.8 to 3638.3), which were 5.8% (4.3 to 7.4) and 4.4% (3.4 to 5.5) lower than in 1990, respectively. Furthermore, the regional age-standardised YLD rate in 2019 was 862.0 (605.5 to 1153.3) per 100,000, which was 6.0% (4.2 to 7.7) lower than in 1990. In 2019, Turkey [953.6 (671.3 to 1283.5)] and Lebanon [727.2 (511.5 to 966.0)] had the highest and lowest age-standardised YLD rates, respectively. There was no country in the MENA region that showed increases in the age-standardised prevalence, incidence or YLD rates of LBP over the measurement period. Furthermore, in 2019 the number of prevalent cases were highest in the 35-39 age group, with males having a higher number of cases in all age groups. In addition, the age-standardised YLD rates for males in the MENA region were higher than the global estimates in almost all age groups, in both 1990 and 2019. Furthermore, the burden of LBP was not associated with the level of socio-economic development during the measurement period.The burden attributable to LBP in the MENA region decreased slightly from 1990 to 2019. Furthermore, the burden among males was higher than the global average. Consequently, more integrated healthcare interventions are needed to more effectively alleviate the burden of low back pain in this region.

The loss of vision is a substantial public health concern that has important implications for an individual's quality of life. The primary objective of this research was to document the burden of vision loss in the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) region, spanning the years 1990-2019, by age group, sex, underlying cause and sociodemographic index (SDI).Publicly available data concerning the burden of vision loss were acquired from the Global Burden of Disease study 2019. The data encompassed all 21 countries within the MENA region for the period spanning 1990 to 2019. The estimates were reported as raw counts and age-standardised rates per 100,000, accompanied by their corresponding 95% uncertainty intervals (UIs).In 2019, MENA had an age-standardised point prevalence of 7040.0 (95% UI: 6195.0, 8002.7) and an YLD rate of 314.5 (222.1, 427.6) per 100,000 for vision loss, which were 11.1% (-12.5, -9.7) and 24.3% (-27.6, -20.8) lower, respectively, than in 1990. In 2019, Afghanistan [469.6 (333.0, 632.8)] had the largest age-standardised YLD rate and Turkey [210.7 (145.3, 290.9)] had the lowest. All countries showed a decrease in the age-standardised point prevalence and YLD rate between 1990 and 2019, except for Oman, Afghanistan, and Yemen. Furthermore, in 2019 the largest number of prevalent cases and YLDs were found in the 65-69 age group. Also in 2019, the age-standardised YLD rates in MENA exceeded the global averages for most age groups, for both males and females. In 2019, refractive disorders were the most common types of vision loss among children, adolescents, and middle-age adults in MENA, while near vision loss and cataracts were the most common among older adults. Finally, the burden of vision loss had a slightly negatively association with SDI over the period 1990-2019.Although the burden of vision loss has decreased over the last three decades, the prevalence remains high. These results underscore the importance of healthcare policymakers taking action to implement preventive measures, especially among the elderly and those living in low socioeconomic countries, to decrease the attributable burden in MENA.

In his Correspondence on fiscal policies and the gilets jaunes, Franco Sassi1Sassi F Global public health challenges, fiscal policies, and yellow vest.Lancet. 2019; 393: 745-746Summary Full Text Full Text PDF PubMed Scopus (3) Google Scholar argued that policy makers should consider using hypothecation (earmarking) to increase public acceptance of taxes levied on unhealthy products such as tobacco, alcohol, and sugar-sweetened beverages. The Philippines offers a real-world example: revenue from tobacco and alcohol taxes instituted in 2012 has been used to directly fund non-communicable disease programmes (strong hypothecation) as well as supporting broader universal health coverage efforts (weak hypothecation).2WHO“Sin Tax” expands health coverage in the Philippines. World Health Organization, 2015https://www.who.int/features/2015/ncd-philippines/en/Date accessed: May 21, 2019Google Scholar In the UK, the abrupt news that sugar-sweetened beverages were going to be taxed was softened by the announcement that revenue would be used to boost physical activity in schools.3Sutherland N Barber S Allocation of funding from the soft drinks industry levy for sport in schools. UK Parliament.https://researchbriefings.parliament.uk/ResearchBriefing/Summary/CDP-2017-0006#_ftn1Date: 2017Date accessed: May 21, 2019Google Scholar It is important to appreciate that hypothecating revenue involves a trade-off between public acceptance and fiscal flexibility. Treasury departments much prefer fungible revenue and might be less willing to support the health ministry in promoting the idea of new health and environmental fiscal measures if hypothecation is overly restrictive. Some examples of non-excise taxes that can be used to promote human and environmental health are also worth mentioning. Sassi alluded to subsidies for fruits and vegetables, but there is also scope to reform VAT bandings—for instance, applying zero rating to healthy products and ensuring that products like cigarettes and red meat are taxed at higher rates in countries that use multi-tier systems. How quickly the global tax climate has changed is striking; it seems like only yesterday that Samoa's accession to the World Trade Organization was delayed on the basis of health-related tariffs imposed on atherogenic turkey tails.4WTOBriefing note: Samoa's accession to the WTO. World Trade Organization, 2011https://www.wto.org/english/thewto_e/minist_e/min11_e/brief_samoa_e.htmDate accessed: May 21, 2019Google Scholar In an increasingly protectionist fiscal environment, erecting physical and fiscal barriers is suddenly in vogue. Countries like the UK that find themselves deep in behind-the-border trade agreements should capitalise on the trend and adopt a stronger public health stance when negotiating tax and trade policies that influence health. Riding a global wave of populist revolt, President Trump has inadvertently ushered in what could be a golden era for health-related fiscal measures.

A principal focus of the foundation, as stated on its website, is on treatment of addicted smokers to decrease mortality, including promoting the switch to reduced-risk products, such as e-cigarettes. Geoffrey Rose, in his masterful monograph The Strategy of Preventive Medicine, pointed to the so-called risk paradox, giving the example “whereby it was seen that many people exposed to a small risk may generate more disease than a few exposed to a conspicuous risk. Applied in reverse to prevention, this means that when many people each receive a little benefit, the total benefit may be large.”2Rose G The strategy of preventive medicine.

In Rose's bell curve, a wholesale shift to the left of the entire curve will achieve more than will a focus on the right-hand tail. When applied to public health measures—such as bans on public smoking, which address smoking-related mortality—this approach will shift the curve of tobacco-use prevalence, and thus mortality, to the left, which should in turn yield a greater effect than will treating cigarette smokers who are struggling to quit. A prime example of this is the reduction in the number of heart attacks witnessed in many parts of the world after bans on public smoking were introduced.3US Department of Health and Human ServicesThe health consequences of smoking—50 years of progress.

In light of these findings, the goals of the Foundation for a Smoke-Free World seem far less benign, even before considering the involvement of the tobacco industry. Unlike standard nicotine replacement therapy, counselling, and quitting cold turkey, e-cigarettes and heat-not-burn tobacco products maintain nicotine addiction. And unlike methadone, which is the cheapest manufactured drug in the USA and used as an example by ENDS advocates,5Campbell H Methadone, needle exchanges and e-cigarettes: Puritanism as policy.https://www.acsh.org/news/2016/07/10/methadone-needle-exchanges-and-e-cigarettes-puritanism-as-policyDate: July 16, 2016Google Scholar there is a huge profit to be made by the tobacco industry in prolonging nicotine addiction.

There are far better and more thoroughly tested ways to spend US$1 billion if the goal is to reduce smoking morbidity and mortality. To cite Geoffrey Rose again: “Mass diseases and mass exposures require mass remedies. A targeted approach may assist but it cannot be sufficient.”2Rose G The strategy of preventive medicine.

Syria has been in continuous conflict since 2011, resulting in more than 874,000 deaths and 13.7 million internally displaced people (IDPs) and refugees. The health and humanitarian sectors have been severely affected by the protracted, complex conflict and have relied heavily on donor aid in the last decade. This study examines the extent and implications of health aid displacement in Syria during acute humanitarian health crises from 2011 to 2019.We conducted a trend analysis on data related to humanitarian and health aid for Syria between 2011 and 2019 from the OECD's Creditor Reporting System. We linked the data obtained for health aid displacement to four key dimensions of the Syrian conflict. The data were compared with other fragile states. We conducted a workshop in Turkey and key informants with experts, policy makers and aid practitioners involved in the humanitarian and health response in Syria between August and October 2021 to corroborate the quantitative data obtained by analysing aid repository data.The findings suggest that there was health aid displacement in Syria during key periods of crisis by a few key donors, such as the EU, Germany, Norway and Canada supporting responses to certain humanitarian crises. However, considering that the value of humanitarian aid is 50 times that of health aid, this displacement cannot be considered as critical. Also, there was insufficient evidence of health displacement across all donors. The results also showed that the value of health aid as a proportion of aggregate health and humanitarian aid is only 2% in Syria, compared to 22% for the combined average of fragile states, which further indicates the predominance of humanitarian aid over health aid in the Syrian crisis context.This study highlights that in very complex conflict-affected contexts such as Syria, it is difficult to suggest the use of health aid displacement as an effective tool for aid-effectiveness for donors as it does not reflect domestic needs and priorities. Yet there seems to be evidence of slight displacement for individual donors. However, we can suggest that donors vastly prefer to focus their investment in the humanitarian sector rather than the health sector in conflict-affected areas. There is an urgent need to increase donors' focus on Syria's health development aid and adopt the humanitarian-development-peace nexus to improve aid effectiveness that aligns with the increasing health needs of local communities, including IDPs, in this protracted conflict.

Summary Background The effectiveness of different strategies in addressing the COVID-19 pandemic has been assessed, but there is still not enough evidence in Asian countries. This study aims to examine the factors influencing the trajectory of COVID-19 evolution in Asia, to provide insights for optimizing public health policies. Methods In this longitudinal analysis, we combined COVID-19 cases and vaccination percentages from Our Word in Data with the policy stringency index from the Oxford COVID-19 Government Response Tracker for 12 Asian countries between January 1, 2021, and September 30, 2022. An agglomerative hierarchical cluster analysis (HCA) was conducted to identify countries with similar COVID-19 evolution trajectories. We also investigated the potential impact of seasonal variations on the virus’ trajectory. The relationship between the level of policy response, vaccination coverage, and COVID-19 cases was explored using Generalized Additive Models (GAMs). Findings There were noticeable differences in the evolution trajectory of COVID-19 among the countries. The 12 Asian countries were grouped into two clusters based on evolutionary similarities. Cluster 1 consisted of West Asian countries (Azerbaijan, Turkey, Bahrain, Israel and Lebanon); while Cluster 2 included Japan, South Korea, Singapore, Malaysia, Thailand, Cambodia and Indonesia. The analysis revealed that the stringency index and vaccination coverage were associated with a statistically significant impact (both P values &lt; 0·0001) on the evolution trajectory of COVID-19 ( adj R 2 =0·54). The dose-response relationships demonstrated that the continuous high levels of stringency index (≥87·6) or vaccination coverage (≥ 42·0%) have led to a decrease in COVID-19 infection rates. In early 2021, the adj R 2 increased to 0·93 for all countries. Furthermore, the adj R 2 for Cluster 1 and Cluster 2 were 0·86 and 0·90 respectively. All GAMs models have significantly improved compared to null model ( P values &lt;0·0001). Interpretation By strengthening vaccination ahead of susceptible seasons and enhancing personal self-protection measures, the transmission of COVID-19 among the population can be reduced even during the highly infectious Omicron era.

Abstract Background This study addresses an important field within HIV research, the impact of socioeconomic factors on the healthcare costs of people living with HIV/AIDS (PLHIV). We aimed to understand how different socioeconomic factors could create diverse healthcare costs for PLHIV in Turkey. Methods Data were collected between January 2017 and December 2017. HIV-positive people attending the clinic who had been referred to the national ART programme from January 1992 until December 2017 were surveyed. The questionnaire collected socioeconomic data. The cost data for the same patients was taken from the electronic database Probel Hospital Information Management System (PHIMS) for the same period. The PHIMS data include costs for medication (highly active antiretroviral therapy or HAART), laboratory, pathology, radiology, polyclinic, examination and consultation, hospitalisation, surgery and intervention, blood and blood products, supplies and other costs. Data were analysed using STATA 14.2 to estimate the generalised linear model (GLM). Results The findings of our GLM indicate that age, gender, marital and parental status, time since diagnosis, employment, wealth status, illicit drug use and CD4 cell count are the factors significantly related to the healthcare cost of patients. We found that compared with people who have AIDS (CD4 cells &lt; 200 cells/mm 3 ), people who have a normal range of CD4 cells (≥ 500 cells/mm 3 ) have $1046 less in expenditures on average. Compared to younger people (19–39 years), older people (≥ 55) have $1934 higher expenditures on average. Costs are $644 higher on average for married people and $401 higher on average for people who have children. Healthcare costs are $518 and $651 higher on average for patients who are addicted to drugs and who use psychiatric drug(s), respectively. Compared to people who were recently diagnosed with HIV, people who were diagnosed ≥10 years ago have $743 lower expenditures on average. Conclusion Our results suggest that in addition to immunological status, socioeconomic factors play a substantial role in the healthcare costs of PLHIV. The key factors influencing the healthcare costs of PLHIV are also critical for public policy makers, healthcare workers, health ministries and employment community programs.

Abstract The lockdown introduced in Georgia on November 28, 2020 brought positive results. There were clearly positive tendencies in the spread of COVID-19 to February - first half of March 2021. However, in April-May 2021 there was a significant deterioration in the epidemiological situation. From June to August 2021, the epidemiological situation with Covid-19 in Georgia became very difficult. In this work results of the next statistical analysis of the daily data associated with New Coronavirus COVID-19 infection of confirmed (C), recovered (R), deaths (D) and infection rate (I) cases of the population of Georgia in the period from June 01, 2021 to August 31, 2021 are presented. It also presents the results of the analysis of two-week forecasting of the values of C, D and I. As earlier, the information was regularly sent to the National Center for Disease Control &amp; Public Health of Georgia and posted on the Facebook page https://www.facebook.com/Avtandil1948/ . The analysis of data is carried out with the use of the standard statistical analysis methods of random events and methods of mathematical statistics for the non-accidental time-series of observations. In particular, the following results were obtained. Georgia’s ranking in the world for Covid-19 monthly mean values of infection and deaths cases in summer 2021 (per 1 million population) was determined. Among 159 countries with population ≥ 1 million inhabitants in August 2021 Georgia was in the 1 place on new infection cases and on Death. A comparison between the daily mortality from Covid-19 in Georgia in summer 2021 with the average daily mortality rate in 2015-2019 shows, that the largest share value of D from mean death in 2015-2019 was 66.0 % (26.08.2021 and 31.08.2021), the smallest 6.0 % (09.07.2021). The statistical analysis of the daily and decade data associated with coronavirus COVID-19 pandemic of confirmed, recovered, deaths cases and infection rate of the population of Georgia are carried out. Maximum daily values of investigation parameters are following: C = 6208 (17.08.2021), R = 6177 (29.08.2021), D = 79 (26.08.2021 and 31.08.2021), I = 13.0 % (17.08.2021). Maximum mean decade values of investigation parameters are following: C = 5019 (2 Decade of August 2021), R = 4822 (3 Decade of August 2021), D = 69 (3 Decade of August 2021), I = 10.88 % (2 Decade of August 2021). It was found that as with September 2020 to February 2021 and in spring 2021 [7,8], from June to August 2021 the regression equations for the time variability of the daily values of C, R and D have the form of a tenth order polynomial. Mean values of speed of change of confirmed -V(C), recovered - V(R), deaths - V(D) and infection rate V(I) coronavirus-related cases in different decades of months in the summer 2021 were determined. Maximum mean decade values of investigation parameters are following: V(C) = +134 cases/day (1 Decade of August 2021), V(R) = +134 cases/day (2 Decade of August 2021), V(D) = +2.4 cases/day (3 Decade of August 2021), V(I) = + 0.25 %/ day (1 decades of August 2021). Cross-correlations analysis between confirmed COVID-19 cases with recovered and deaths cases shows, that the maximum effect of recovery is observed 19 days after infection (RC=0.95), and deaths - after 16 and 18 days (RC=0.94). In Georgia in the summer 2021, the duration of the impact of the delta variant of the coronavirus on people (recovery, mortality) could be up to two months. Comparison of real and calculated predictions data of C, D and I in Georgia are carried out. It was found that in summer 2021 two-week daily and mean two-week real values of C, D and I practically fall into the 67% - 99.99% confidence interval of these predicted values. With September 1, 2021, it is started monthly forecasting of C, D and I values. As earlier, the comparison of data about C and D in Georgia (GEO) with similar data in Armenia (ARM), Azerbaijan (AZE), Russia (RUS), Turkey (TUR) and in the World (WRL) is also carried out.

All UN member states aim to achieve universal health coverage (UHC) by 2030 as part of the Sustainable Development Goals.1UNTransforming our world: the 2030 agenda for sustainable development.https://sustainabledevelopment.un.org/content/documents/21252030%20Agenda%20for%20Sustainable%20Development%20web.pdfDate: 2015Date accessed: March 25, 2019Google Scholar Countries' progression towards UHC can be monitored using the WHO and World Bank standardised framework,2WHOWorld BankTracking universal health coverage: 2017 global monitoring report. World Health Organization, Geneva2017Google Scholar whereas the World Bank Universal Health Coverage Study Series (UNICO) documents in depth the progress towards UHC of more than 40 countries. As more knowledge of countries' pathways towards UHC accumulates and given the call that “all nations need to be producers as well as consumers of research”,3WHOThe World Health Report 2013: research for Universal Health Coverage. World Health Organization, Geneva2013Google Scholar one might wonder whether the available knowledge base on the UHC journey relies on a wide range of country experiences or only on a handful of distinctive and potentially unrepresentative ones. We searched six electronic databases (Scopus, MEDLINE, Embase, Global Health, Econlit, and Web of Science) on March 5, 2019, for “universal health coverage” as keyword, title, or abstract—with no other restrictions—to quantify the extent to which individual countries are referenced in direct association with UHC. Of 7889 total records, 5204 duplicates were removed and the remaining 2685 unique records were imported into R statistical software. Their titles and abstracts were searched for the occurrence of root country names (eg, “Leban” for “Lebanon” or “Lebanese”) based on the list of 183 countries with a reported service coverage index in the WHO and World Bank monitoring report;2WHOWorld BankTracking universal health coverage: 2017 global monitoring report. World Health Organization, Geneva2017Google Scholar the distinct records mentioning each country were counted. Multiple root words per country were used when appropriate (eg, “United Kingdom”, “Britain”, and “British” for the UK; “Turkey” and “Turkish” for Turkey vs “Turkm” for Turkmenistan); exclusions were made when appropriate (eg, occurrences of “United States dollars” were not counted towards the US). Further technical details are described in the appendix. 1641 (61%) of 2685 records mention at least one country root word. Firstly, it appears that several countries are invoked more often than others (figure, appendix). India, Thailand, China, South Africa, and Indonesia lead the chart with at least 75 distinct records each; Japan, Brazil, Ghana, Nigeria, Bangladesh, Kenya, and Mexico are mentioned between 55 and 75 times each. At the other end of the spectrum, 24 countries are never explicitly mentioned and another 27 have only one mention each. 101 countries appear in less than five records each. Secondly, the countries cited the most tend to be low-income and middle-income countries (LMIC), whereas those with few or no mentions tend to be high-income (HIC). Nonetheless, there are cases of well documented HICs (eg, Japan, France, USA, Canada, and UK) and many more undocumented LMICs. Thirdly, the distribution of UNICO country case-studies mirrors reasonably closely the distribution of the literature, with most case-studies concentrated among the well studied countries. However, the UNICO series also includes several case-studies of countries that are under-represented in the literature: Jamaica (1 record), Gabon (1 record), Armenia (1 record), Kyrgyzstan (1 record), Croatia (2 records), Azerbaijan (2 records), and the Dominican Republic (3 records). This analysis has limitations: it focuses on a single (albeit, arguably, the most relevant) search term, it assumes all country mentions are comparable (eg, not all countries mentioned in a given abstract might be the focus of the document), and it is restricted to titles and abstracts. As a result, Kyrgyzstan, for example, whose health financing reforms have been relatively well documented over time, appears only once. The emerging picture is nevertheless one of a UHC research focus to date on a small number of countries (particularly Brazil, Russia, India, China, and South Africa), potentially leaving the experiences of many others largely unknown. Cross-country variations in the national governments' political commitment towards the UHC agenda, domestic capacity to conduct health systems research, and (research) funding priorities of development partners, among others, might well explain some of this disparity.

Validating and, if confirmed, understanding and addressing the sources of this cross-country variability in research attention might be useful for advancing the UHC agenda. Countries seeking to achieve UHC as rapidly and cost-effectively as possible could learn from the successes of many others, particularly how they handled the various hurdles, at least some of which are unlikely to be unique. The over-representation of few countries in research for UHC is bound to introduce biases in the lessons to be had from countries' practical experience, whether positive or negative. This bias could potentially undermine the fundamental UHC promise that every country must find its own way by limiting the options to what has been tried (and documented) already in a limited number of countries. The time seems ripe for a concerted effort to widen the base of countries and experiences.

BackgroundAs seen nationally in the UK, the London boroughs of Camden and Islington have had a decline in smokers accessing stop smoking services. We aimed to develop an innovative model for local smoking cessation services based on wide user and stakeholder consultation with the objective of countering the declining trend in service use.MethodsWe carried out a consultation among local stakeholders to inform the new service model. To understand the professional perspective, we sent an online survey to 210 selected stakeholders (public and community sector organisations), which was completed by 110 (52% response rate). 19 key stakeholders were invited for in-depth interviews. To understand the service user perspective, we conducted six focus groups with different groups of smokers and ex-smokers (pregnant women, people with long-term conditions, serious mental illness, and in routine and manual occupations, minority ethnic communities, and Turkish speakers), totalling 48 people. On the basis of these findings, we brought 29 smokers and 30 stakeholders together in two workshops to explore what an effective stop smoking service would look like and how the service could be delivered.FindingsThe survey and interviews with local professionals showed that sustainable funding, integrated databases, and a flexible service that adapted to user preferences were the most important factors for a new stop smoking service. Smokers suggested developing new terminology for the service, moving away from current language (words like “quit” or “clinic”), and positioning the service as supportive and flexible. These ideas were presented in the workshops, where smokers and professionals agreed a three-tiered model (based on the Stop Smoking+ model proposed by Robert West, provided that specialist support, brief-support, and self-support would offer the desired flexibility. Adaptations of the model to the local reality were suggested, including flexibility on how support could be delivered (eg, offer digital support), and integration of different services to provide continuous support.InterpretationOn the basis of extensive consultation with local smokers and professionals, a new service model was implemented in April, 2017. The new model reflects what local smokers are looking for in a stop smoking service by providing users the flexibility they want and by moving away from traditional terminology. The hope is that this model will counter the declining trend in users of stop smoking services seen in the past 3 years.FundingNone.
