<sec> <title>BACKGROUND</title> Cultural trends in the United States, the nicotine consumer marketplace, and tobacco policies are changing. </sec> <sec> <title>OBJECTIVE</title> The goal of this study was to identify and describe nicotine-related topics of conversation authored by the public and social bots on Twitter, including any misinformation or misconceptions that health education campaigns could potentially correct. </sec> <sec> <title>METHODS</title> Twitter posts containing the term “nicotine” were obtained from September 30, 2018 to October 1, 2019. Methods were used to distinguish between posts from social bots and nonbots. Text classifiers were used to identify topics in posts (n=300,360). </sec> <sec> <title>RESULTS</title> Prevalent topics of posts included vaping, smoking, addiction, withdrawal, nicotine health risks, and quit nicotine, with mentions of going “cold turkey” and needing help in quitting. Cessation was a common topic, with mentions of quitting and stopping smoking. Social bots discussed unsubstantiated health claims including how hypnotherapy, acupuncture, magnets worn on the ears, and time spent in the sauna can help in smoking cessation. </sec> <sec> <title>CONCLUSIONS</title> Health education efforts are needed to correct unsubstantiated health claims on Twitter and ultimately direct individuals who want to quit smoking to evidence-based cessation strategies. Future interventions could be designed to follow these topics of discussions on Twitter and engage with members of the public about evidence-based cessation methods in near real time when people are contemplating cessation. </sec>

Due to the ever-changing, developing and complex structures of health institutions, the need to manage their administrations via professional managers arised by the end of the 1800s in the world, mainly in the USA and Europe, and such a need has been continuously emerging in our country since the 1950s. Concerning those current professional health managers, who serve in a rapidly evolving and changing health sector, following periodicals, books and articles on general or health management should be among the sine qua non for the development and change of such professional health management. Together with the Health Transformation Program (HTP) that has been implemented in Turkey since 2003, despite the adoption of the understanding that predominantly professional healthcare managers should be assigned in the management of health institutions, there are still many managers operating in the sector, who are not adequately educated. The aim of this study is to determine the prevalence of those managers of the public health administrators in Diyarbakır, reading articles, books and periodicals on general-health management for their development. The study is a descriptive study, involving 165 healthcare managers, which mainly have been serving in 3 public health institutions (Provincial General Secretariat to Association of Public Hospitals, Provincial Directorate of Community Healthcare, Provincial Directorate of Health and its affiliated units) in Diyarbakır province prior to November 25th, 2017. 80.7% of the managers did not have master's degree in health-general management education. In the case of Diyarbakır, it is obviously seen that health-care administrators are urgently required to undertake bachelor, masters, PhD programs on general health management.

Background: This study aimed to measure the efficiency and productivity of tobacco control policies across 16 selected Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) countries from 2008 to 2014. Study design: A panel-data study. Methods: Data envelopment analysis was used in this study. Taxation on tobacco products and pictorial warning labels were chosen as the inputs. Percentage of the population of daily smokers above 15 years old and the number of cigarettes used per smoker per day were output variables. Additionally, the Malmquist total factor productivity (TFP) was used to analyze the panel data and measure productivity change and technical efficiency changes over time. Results: The highest technical efficiency score (1.05) was attributed to Norway, while the lowest (0.91) belonged to the UK. Technological change with a total mean of 1.06 implied that the technology and creativity have increased, while countries have been able to promote their creativity over the studied period. Norway with the TFP score of 1.15 was the most productive country, while the UK and Turkey with TFP scores of 0.95 and 0.98, respectively, were the least productive countries in terms of the implementation of the tobacco control policies. Conclusions : Most OECD countries have productively implemented tax and pictorial warning policies to reduce tobacco use. To achieve the optimum outcome of the tobacco control policies and overcome the challenges of smoking use, countries need to tackle the difficult underlying factors, i.e. tobacco industry opposition and lobbyists, smuggling, and low socioeconomic status.

Abstract Objectives This study aimed to determine the epidemiological and medical features of suspected rabies exposures at a pediatric emergency department in a small city center in middle-northern Turkey. Methods Data were abstracted from a standard “Rabies Suspected Animal Contact Cases Examination Form.” The following information was recorded: sociodemographic and clinical features of the victim, history of rabies vaccination, date of event, time to hospital administration, animal species and its vaccination history with owner records, type of suspected contact, wound care, tetanus prophylaxis, rabies vaccination, and forensic notifications. Immunoprophylaxis was determined as “appropriate” or “inappropriate” in accordance with the Rabies Field Guideline (2014). Discussion A total of 306 cases were evaluated at the emergency department of the hospital. The age of the victims ranged between 1.5 and 17 years old, and 61.4% of them were males. Cat scratches were the most common source of suspected rabies exposure. Meanwhile, primary wound care and tetanus immunoprophylaxis were the frequent inappropriate medical applications. Rabies prophylaxis was completed in 76.5% of the cases. However, forensic notifications were missing. In addition, the rate of animal immunization was lower than it should be. Conclusion Our city is rabies free; however, risky exposures are frequent among children. Lack of knowledge about first aid and animal vaccination is revealed to be a major public health problem. Health care workers should follow current guidelines to provide a holistic approach to the treatment of potential rabies exposures.

Occupational health and safety (OHS) issues might be considered one of the main considerations among European countries as many employees encounter dangerous workplace conditions during work. Therefore, decision makers in these countries have initiated related projects to reduce the number of occupational accidents. Turkey is one of those countries that training activities have become mandatory due to a current OHS legislation amendment. In every workplace there are some OHS risks. It is well known that taking required precautions prior to occupational accidents is much more efficient and effective than doing it subsequently. In fact, only 2 percent of these OHS risks are unpreventable, whereas the remaining risks can be prevented easily (Kilkis & Demir, 2012). In Turkey, every year approximately 77.000 occupational accidents occur. More than 1000 employees lose their lives, while more than 5.000 employees become permanently disabled due to these occupational accidents (Korkmaz & Avsalli, 2012). In the institution, where this study was conducted, approximately 30.000 employees work. OHS training in the institution consists of theoretical and practical parts. In the practical part, when the necessity of gathering thousands of employees in various training centers and duration of those trainings are considered, it is obvious that OHS training activities would cost much and could cause administrative problems for the institution. Hence, the institution has decided to deliver theoretical part of the OHS training online in order to cope with this issue. Purpose: In this study, an online learning module on OHS, which had been previously developed by one of the biggest public institutions in Turkey, was improved. As the process of implementing improved learning materials takes much time, only preliminary findings were shared. The purpose of this study is twofold: first, to share the results of the impact of previous learning materials and staff’s thoughts about them; and secondly, to discuss features of new learning materials and process of improving them. Theoretical Framework: As the theoretical framework, Ricketts’s (2015) nine suggestions pertaining how to write safety stories were chosen so as to help designers write digital stories related to OHS. Besides, Cinar’s (2012) experience-based e-course design model was used to facilitate the process of improving the learning materials. Method Formative research method of Reigeluth and Frick (1999) was adopted as the study’s methodology. Approximately 9070 employees currently working at the institution filled in the online survey on the LMS. Staff were asked to answer nine survey questions related to their experience, attitude and thoughts about OHS module delivered via online learning. It should be noted that this survey was developed and administered by the institution at the end of the training without proving its reliability and validity. Since the number of the participants were quite high, this scale was used just to give some idea about staff’s experience, thoughts and attitudes towards OHS training. In addition to nine close-ended questions in the survey, there was also one open-ended question at the end to obtain staff’s detailed suggestions regarding how to deliver online learning more effectively. In line with Cinar’s (2012) suggestions, design team visited the institution to gain the broader sense of organizational culture. Then, OHS legislations and previous learning materials were examined carefully by each member of the design team. In order to analyze current situation of OHS training in the institution, survey results and staff’s posts on the LMS discussion board were also examined. After the analysis, it was agreed to write safety stories and use formative evaluation activities. An LMS, which had been previously used by the institution, was decided to be used in order to deliver the learning materials developed with an e-learning software. Safety stories and learning materials were shown to a line manager of the institution and a field expert to obtain their feedbacks. Following this, the design team checked the learning materials and gave feedback to each other. In this way, bugs and spelling errors were fixed. Finally, two short tutorial videos were recorded with the purpose of aiding staff to get used to new learning materials. Expected Outcomes As for findings, in a nutshell, previous learning materials lacked engagement, interaction, visuality, authenticity, and formative evaluation. Some staff of the institution demanded face-to-face OHS training claiming it was such an important training activity that it could not be risked by delivering via online learning. Possibly due to lack of visuality, many of the staff reported learning materials as quite boring. Another finding from the analysis indicates that institution’s staff request the learning materials to be customized to their workplace to better understand authentic implementation of the legislation. That is to say, rather than being generic to all institutional staff, they want it to encompass specific examples for each job title. Another one of the most prevalent complaints about the training was about the legislation’s applicability in workplaces. Personnel do not believe managers know regulations and are eager to implement those in the institution. In addition, some personnel expressed that an evaluation is necessary to be able to monitor to what extent the staff have learnt from the learning materials. As it is aimed to improve previous learning materials, it is expected to raise the awareness of OHS to reduce the number of occupational accidents in the institution. In addition, the new learning materials consist of different activities to enrich learning process, which can also be expected to contribute to interaction and engagement. By doing this, the legislations could be learnt easier and more effectively. Not only do improved learning materials contribute to learning process in a way of taking courses such as drag and drop activities, they might also promote transformative learning with safety stories to adapt the legislations to the staff’s workplaces. Finally, we expect to make contribution to the OHS field in order to improve training activities in different workplaces.

ABSTRACTObjectives Hemoglobinopathies are a global public health problem with high mortality and morbidity and very expensive treatment. Disease can be reduced and prevented with hemoglobinopathy screening tests. It is possible to identify carriers with the hemoglobinopathy screening program applied in many countries of the world and in Turkey. This study aims to evaluate the results of the national premarital hemoglobinopathy screening program carried out in primary healthcare institutions.Methods The research is of epidemiological and cross-sectional type. Electrophoresis results examined within the scope of the premarital hemoglobinopathy screening program in Samsun between 1 January 2019 and 31 December 2021 were evaluated retrospectively. Age, gender, year of screening, and hemoglobinopathy screening results were obtained from the records. In the statistical analysis of the data, p < 0.05 was accepted.Results The median age of 52,338 people screened under the hemoglobinopathy screening program was 29.0 (16.0–86.0) years. About 54.1% (n = 28,309) of those who were screened were female, and it was found that the least screening was done in 2020 (n = 15,765 (30.1%)). As a result of the screening, the frequency of the β-thalassemia (β-thal) trait was 1.37% (n = 676), the frequency of the abnormal HbS was 0.04% (n = 20). The frequency of β-thal trait was statistically significantly higher in 2020 (1.5%) compared to other years (p = 0.029). When the results were analyzed by gender, the rate of women with abnormal HbS (3.7%) was significantly higher than the others (p = 0.017).Conclusions This study presents the results of the national hemoglobinopathy screening program in Northern Turkey and the β-thal and the abnormal HbS rates were found to be low. The data obtained will be useful in monitoring hemoglobinopathy disorders and evaluating the current program’s effectiveness in the future. It will allow decision-makers to implement policy changes and prioritize new programs.KEYWORDS: Hemoglobinopathybeta-thalassemiapremaritalthalassemiascreening programs Declaration of financial/other relationshipsThe authors have no relevant affiliations or financial involvement with any organization or entity with a financial interest in or financial conflict with the subject matter or materials discussed in the manuscript.

<b>Aim:</b> With the enactment of Law No 5261 in 2004 ratifying the Framework Convention on Tobacco Control (FCTC), Turkey has pledged its commitment to comply with this legally binding international treaty. This study aims at expounding the levels, attributes, and relations with the socio-political framework of this compliance and shed light on future tobacco control movement. <b>Method:</b> Compliance to the FCTC and its Guidelines for Implementation since 2004, for each article of the Convention, has been analysed qualitatively and quantitatively, through a review of tobacco and tobacco control legislation, documents and reports on implementation and enforcement, assessment scales, and media coverage. <b>Findings:</b> During the period of 2008-2011, when international incentives for FCTC implementation have become present, legislation regarding measures to reduce demand, such as 100% smoke-free public spaces, basic advertisement bans and health warnings, have been introduced. In the following 2011-2016 period, necessary legislations for enforcement, price controls, and measures to reduce supply, including product regulation measures, have fallen back, compliance as reflected on society has greatly weakened, and inspections and sanctions have been rendered as ineffective. <b>Discussion and Conclusion:</b> The attributes of non-compliance identified in this study indicate that there are systemic problems with regard to the issues referred to in Article 5 of the FCTC. The findings indicate that the policy framework supporting and protecting commercial rights, investments, and manufacturing and trade liberties of the tobacco industry, is in contradiction with FCTC provisions.

Abstract The catastrophe of 1771 called into question the efficacy of Russia’s developing medical profession and public health institutions. Their failure to ward off disaster demanded explanation and justification, all the more so because of the empire’s enhanced exposure to infection through annexation and penetration of plague-enzootic territory in the south. Throughout the epidemic the imperial authorities consulted the medical professionals and mobilized a considerable proportion of them. Together with the Russo-Turkish War of 1768-74, the plague reinforced efforts to recruit medical personnel abroad and to expand medical training at home. For the many practitioners who fought the epidemic, moreover, it posed insistent problems of theory and practice. They pondered its origins and identification, the nature of the disease, and the means of prevention and treatment. The peculiarities of the Moscow outbreak aroused doubts about traditional explanations of plague. Analogous doubts might question the value of medical professionals to the state and society. To vindicate the actions of medical practitioners during the epidemic and to forestall criticism of their role in the formulation of public health policy, some doctors and surgeons seized the occasion to publish reasoned explanations of the cataclysm. Their explanations drew lessons from the tragedy in hopes of averting its repetition; they also expressed intensified commitment to an expansive, activist policy toward epidemic disease. Thus the medical debates about the plague continued long after its end, stimulating medical policies and thought, research and publication in Russia. If medical thinkers from Russia made no great discoveries in the scientific study of plague, they brought the subject to a respectable level of discourse and demonstrated a thorough, frequently critical, knowledge of the lengthy European tradition of plague tractates. Their contributions enlivened that tradition for Russian and European audiences.

Bongaarts's model of Ci calculation was used to calculate the contribution of breast-feeding to family planning. Methods: This cross-sectional study was conducted in the area of Istanbul (TURKEY) Silivri Public Health Practice and Research Center between the dates of 20th May-1st October 2005. In this study whole under 1 year old babies, composed the sample (n=1247). Bongaarts model can be summarized as Total Fertility Rate (TFR)= TF x Ci x CA x CC x Cm and takes its bases from TF ( total fertility). Ci is the Postparum infekunditi index. Ci= 20\(18.5+i) is calculated by this formula. The first menstruation period, after pregnancy ends, was taken as the value 'i'. Results: The average age for the total 1247 mothers who contributed to this study was 26.7±5.2 (R: 16 - 50) yr. The women whose menstruation turned back (n=830), the average amenore period was found as 3.0±1.9 (1-12 months). Ci's average value was 0.94±0.07 (0,66-1.03) and a r= -0.08, P= 0.012 correlation was appointed between mother's age and Ci. 7.7% of participants (n: 96) used breast-feeding as a contraceptive method. These participants used breast-feeding as contraception for 16.9±14.5 wk. Conclusions: Breast-feeding is a reliable and a positive affecting method of family planning for both improving the baby and mother's health. Furthermore also by affecting TFR over Ci, it provides a positive contribution to society health.

In Turkey, dentists working in public dental care centers were deployed in COVID-19 case investigation and contact tracing (CICT) teams during the pandemic. This study aims to explore the experiences of the dentists assigned to teams undertaking COVID-19 CICT practices to determine how healthcare workers should be supported when working in pandemic response and other crises.The sample of this qualitative, phenomenological study consisted of thirty four public dentists assigned to COVID-19 CICT practices in four metropolitan areas of Turkey. Data were collected through semi-structured in-depth interviews that were conducted online in August and September 2020. The data were analyzed using thematic content analysis.Six themes were revealed: preparation for CICT, basic requirements, work relations, working conditions, being a dentist assigned to CICT and COVID-19 pandemic management. The dentists complained that they were not appropriately assigned to CICT, as they lacked the preparations and sufficient training. They had to acquire personal protective equipment and other basic needs at their own expense. The working conditions were severe, and they had negative relations at work. The State and the Ministry of Health were criticized for inadequate implementation of institutional measures for COVID-19 pandemic management.The study showed that dentists were motivated to participate in the management of pandemics and similar crisis situations, but in a negative work environment - where they were deployed without adequate training, preparation, and ensuring their basic needs and requirements were met - they lost this motivation, and experienced stress and feelings of inadequacy.In der Türkei wurden Zahnärzte, die in öffentlichen zahnärztlichen Versorgungszentren arbeiten, während der Pandemie in COVID-19-Falluntersuchungs- und Kontaktverfolgungsteams (CICT) eingesetzt. Ziel dieser Studie ist es, die Erfahrungen der Zahnärzte zu untersuchen, die in COVID-19-CICT-Teams eingesetzt wurden, um herauszufinden, wie das Gesundheitspersonal bei der Pandemiebekämpfung und in anderen Krisen unterstützt werden sollte.In die Stichprobe der qualitativen, phänomenologischen Studie wurden 34 im öffentlichen Dienst beschäftigte Zahnärzte, die COVID-19 CICT-Praxen in vier türkischen Großstädten zugeordnet waren, einbezogen. Die Daten wurden durch halbstrukturierte Tiefeninterviews erhoben, die im August und September 2020 online durchgeführt wurden. Die Daten wurden mithilfe der thematischen Inhaltsanalyse analysiert.Es wurden sechs Themen identifiziert: Vorbereitung auf das CICT, Grundvoraussetzungen, Arbeitsbeziehungen, Arbeitsbedingungen, Einsatz als Zahnarzt im CICT und COVID-19-Pandemiemanagement. Die Zahnärzte beklagten sich darüber, dass es ihnen nicht leicht fiel, im CICT eingesetzt zu werden, da ihnen die Vorbereitungen und eine ausreichende Ausbildung fehlten. Sie mussten auf eigene Kosten Geld für persönliche Schutzausrüstung und andere Grundbedürfnisse ausgeben. Die Arbeitsbedingungen waren hart, und sie hatten schlechte Arbeitsbedingungen. Der Staat und das Gesundheitsministerium wurden für die unzureichende Umsetzung der institutionellen Maßnahmen zur Bewältigung der COVID-19-Pandemie kritisiert.Die Studie hat gezeigt, dass Zahnärzte motiviert sind, sich an der Bewältigung von Pandemien und ähnlichen Krisensituationen zu beteiligen, aber in einem negativen Arbeitsumfeld, in dem sie ohne angemessene Ausbildung und Vorbereitung eingesetzt und ihre grundlegenden Bedürfnisse und Anforderungen nicht erfüllt werden, verlieren sie diese Motivation und erleben Stress und das Gefühl der Wertlosigkeit.

BackgroundIn many parts of the world, people with disabilities do not have equal opportunities in access to health care, education, and participation in social life. We assessed main barriers and best practices for people with disabilities with respect to the accessibility of public services and participation in urban life.MethodsWe did this qualitative study in Ankara, Turkey. We included 42 people aged 18–35 years with physical or visual disabilities. We selected participants by snowball sampling through contacting non-governmental organisations working with people with disabilities. Participants were given cameras to take photographs of main barriers and good practices from their own perspective (photovoice). We then did facilitated group discussions, in which participants discussed their photographs, developing narratives for each photo, and recommending solutions to overcome barriers and disseminate good practices.FindingsThe main barriers were difficulties in access to public transport services, pedestrian roads, sidewalks, overbridges, parks, sports fields, and public institutions including health care and educational facilities, which decreased opportunities for people with disabilities to participate in urban life. Although fewer in number, several good practices were also identified, such as the use of lifts, wheelchair lifts, ramps, lowered curbs, tactile paving, audible signals, and Braille signs.InterpretationMunicipalities should deliver more evidence-based and needs-based services to improve urban environments for people with disabilities. Community participation in decision-making processes could help advocacy, and consequently the improvement of public policies and services.FundingHacettepe University Scientific Research Projects Coordination Unit.

We evaluate the epidemiology and incidence of pediatric proximal femur fractures, treatment trends among different hospital levels, and complication rates among different treatment modalities by examining a national health registry in Türkiye. The health records of individuals aged ≤16 years admitted to public, private, and university hospitals were collected via the e-health database of the Turkish Ministry of Health. A total of 2388 children treated for proximal femur fractures from 2016 to 2021 with at least 2 years of follow-up were included in the study. While 2033 (85.1%) patients were treated with closed reduction and spica casts, 355 (14.8%) were operated on. Mean age was 8.603 ± 5.11 years. Male incidence was 2-fold greater compared to female patients (36.4% female and 63.6% male patients; P &lt; 0.001). The frequency of cases was significantly increased in the age groups of 3–4 and 13–16 years. Comorbidities causing limited ambulation were detected in 6.5% of all cases, and 163 (8.0%) patients in the conservative group and 98 (27.6%) patients in the surgery group had at least one complication. The incidence was 0.45 per 100 000 children aged ≤16 years. This study reports the largest patient cohort to date, providing evidence on the epidemiology and incidence of pediatric proximal femur fractures using health registry data. We have found that the most common treatment modality for proximal femur fractures is closed reduction with spica casts. The rate of avascular necrosis is similar among patients treated surgically and those treated conservatively.

Background: In February 2007, the Veterinary Laboratories Agency (VLA) confirmed the presence of highly pathogenic avian influenza (HPAI) H5N1 on a turkey farm in Suffolk, UK. Public health response to the incident led to offering of oseltamivir and the seasonal flu vaccination to 482 people involved in the outbreak. Understanding poultry workers’ knowledge level and compliance to public health preventive measures to prevent spread of AI is an essential step in designing future effective health promotion/prevention strategies to this population group. This outbreak gave us the opportunity to study this aspect Method: A cross-sectional survey was conducted using an interviewer administered questionnaire to poultry workers involved in the outbreak. Results: A total of 126 poultry workers completed the questionnaire. The group was divided into two - pre and post exposures - based on receiving oseltamivir and the timing of risk exposure during the outbreak. The two risks groups demonstrated significant difference in knowledge about the transmission of the infection to humans (p < 0.05). Although all the participants were categorised as high risk based on their exposures, only 11% (14/126) of workers perceived themselves to be at high risk. The majority (89%) of the participants perceived their risk to be small or very small. The level of advice given by health care worker during the outbreak was considered satisfactory by the majority (87.1%). Most of the respondents complied fully with both antiviral (97%) and personal protective equipment (PPE) (96%). Conclusions: Knowledge on avian flu and the perception of their risks to avian flu needs to be improved in a population at higher risk. However the compliance with interventions was satisfactory in this study.

Google Trends data have been used to investigate various themes on online information seeking. It was unclear if the population from different parts of the world shared the same amount of attention to different mask types during the COVID-19 pandemic. This study aimed to reveal which types of masks were frequently searched by the public in different countries, and evaluated if public attention to masks could be related to mandatory policy, stringency of the policy, and transmission rate of COVID-19. By referring to an open dataset hosted at the online database Our World in Data, the 10 countries with the highest total number of COVID-19 cases as of 9th of February 2022 were identified. For each of these countries, the weekly new cases per million population, reproduction rate (of COVID-19), stringency index, and face covering policy score were computed from the raw daily data. Google Trends were queried to extract the relative search volume (RSV) for different types of masks from each of these countries. Results found that Google searches for N95 masks were predominant in India, whereas surgical masks were predominant in Russia, FFP2 masks were predominant in Spain, and cloth masks were predominant in both France and United Kingdom. The United States, Brazil, Germany, and Turkey had two predominant types of mask. The online searching behavior for masks markedly varied across countries. For most of the surveyed countries, the online searching for masks peaked during the first wave of COVID-19 pandemic before the government implemented mandatory mask wearing. The search for masks positively correlated with the government response stringency index but not with the COVID-19 reproduction rate or the new cases per million.

Using a representative survey of the French population, the Health, Health Care and Insurance Survey (ESPS: “Enquete sur la sante et la protection sociale”), this article aims to study the links between migration, region of origin and health status in France. Firstly, we have compared the health status between migrants and the native population in discerning an identifiable difference between first-generation and second-generation migrants. Following this, in order to explain the heterogeneity of health status amongst the migrant population, we have refined our analysis by integrating their country of origin into our estimation and then exploring the health differences between individuals who have emigrated from South-East Mediterranean (SEM) countries and individuals who have emigrated from all other countries. Our findings show that there exist health inequalities that are related to immigration, when compared with the health status of the native population in France. First and second generation migrants have a higher risk than the native French born population to report a poor health status. By introducing country of origin into our analysis we are able to confirm the health heterogeneity within both groups of migrants. Individuals coming from SEM countries are more likely to report poor health status than the native French born population (for both generation migrants) and this risk seems significantly higher for individuals who have emigrated from Turkey. These inequalities are partly explained by the poor socio-economic conditions of the migrant population and a general lack of social integration in France.

From the experience of more than 130 emergency medical relief missions in over 50 countries/areas, the AMDA would like to propose a system of mobile clinical examinations to prepare for possible natural disasters in Japan. Such a system will require the development of vehicles equipped with a full range of laboratory equipment, which I believe will become a public property in the world, and contribute to the enhancement of medical services in disaster areas as well as in areas with less developed medical technologies. AMDA's recent medical relief activities include the support of the victims of the earthquakes in Haiti (2010) and Turkey (2011), and the flood in Thailand (2012). In these countries, the AMDA faced the lack of a clinical examination system which resulted in a huge number of patients who could not receive proper treatment after injury, or those who suffered from infectious diseases. Domestically, when the AMDA sent medical teams to the affected areas of the Great East Japan Earthquake and tsunami (2011), their activities took place mainly in evacuation shelters, where survivors needed treatment for chronic diseases and preventive care. All of these experiences highlight the importance of clinical examination in disaster areas, as well as in developing countries/areas similarly lacking basic medical services. The Japanese Society of Laboratory Medicine will surely play an important role in the development of the proposed system of mobile clinical examinations. The AMDA would like to collaborate with the JSLM in emergency relief activities and medical aid projects in areas affected by disasters or lack basic medical services.

This study was motivated by recent reports on health issues related to sedentary lifestyle among children. The study aimed to explore the effect of video physical exercise on the attitudes, beliefs, and self-efficacy toward physical activity by children at the primary school level. Participants comprised 2, 863 (1404 males, 1459 females) primary students between grades 1 and 5 who had never used Brain Break before. The students were recruited from seven countries, namely, Croatia, Lithuania, Poland, Romania, Serbia, South Africa, and Turkey. Students were randomly divided into experimental and control groups. Students in the experimental group engaged in Brain Break online streaming video exercise for 5 to 10 minutes each day, 5 days a week consecutively for 3 months during the 2014-2015 school year. Both groups were pre- and post-tested using a pre-validated self-report questionnaire. Comparison using analysis of covariance found the experimental group to be more positive than the control groups in their post-test scores after controlling for gender and pre-test scores on attitudes toward physical fitness, self-efficacy, personal best goal orientation in physical activity, interest in physical activity, importance of physical activity, benefits of physical activity, contributions of video exercise to learning in school subjects, contributions of video exercise to learning about health and environmental support. There was no significant gender difference. Educational implications are discussed in the paper.

Background: Smoking behavior is a behavior that is harmful to health, but there are still many people who do smoking activities, even someone starts smoking starting as a teenager. This study aimed to estimate the influence of peers, family, school on smoking behavior in adolescents through a meta-analysis of primary studies conducted by previous authors. Subjects and Method: This was a systematic review and meta-analysis conducted following the PRISMA diagram and the PICO format. Population: Teenagers. Intervention: Smokers' peers, smokers' family members, schools apply smoking rules. Comparison: Peers don't smoke, family members don't smoke, schools don't enforce smoking rules. Outcome: Smoking. The online databases used are Google Scholar, Science Direct, and ProQuest with the words ''Smoking peers'' AND ''Smoking parents'' AND ''Smoking policy school'' AND ''smoking'' AND behavior AND adolescents AND ''cross sectional'' AND aOR. There were 16 cross-sectional studies published in 2013-2023 that met the inclusion criteria. Analysis was performed with RevMan 5.3. Results: The meta-analysis included 16 cross-sectional studies from India, Korea, China, Hong Kong, Taiwan, South Africa, America, Chile, Denmark, Saudi Arabia and, Turkey. The total sample was 191,101. Smoking behavior increased with smoker peers (aOR= 5.04; 95% CI = 3.23 to 7.87; p&lt; 0.001), smoker family members (aOR=2.04; 95% CI= 1.45 to 2.87; p&lt; 0.001), and low smoking policy in school (aOR= 1.00; 95% CI= 0.65 to 1.54; p&lt; 0.001). Conclusion: There is influence of smoking peers, smoking families, smoking policies in schools with smoking behavior in adolescents. Keywords: adolescents, peers of smokers, families of smokers, smoking policies.

Objectives: The aim of this study is to use of available resources effectively and efficiently, to determine the situation of recource allocation, priority setting and to offer an insight into future planning in delivery of health services in Turkish Armed Forces (TAF). Study Design: This study was conducted using qualitative focus group method and it is a descriptive and qualitative study. Questions to be asked in the focus group discussions, the location and the time of discussions and the participants was determined by review of the literature. Methods: Focus group interviews lasted between approximately 90-120 minutes, respectively, to each focus group, 9 chief phsycians, 13 doctors /dentists, 6 nurses, 8 health noncommissioned officers, 7 officers, 6 noncommissioned officers and 6 health administrators were attended. Results: The result of focus group discussions; priority settings in military health services must be done and to preventive health care would be prioritised.

Abstract Background: To date, there is no synthesized evidence about the technical efficiency (TE) of cross-country tobacco control policies. This study aims to measure the efficiency and productivity of tobacco control policies across 16 selected countries of Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) from 2008 to 2014. Method: We used data envelopment analysis (DEA). MPOWER is an acronym for a WHO proposed package consisting of six tobacco reduction interventions that can be adapted to present a commitment of the parties to a treaty labeled FCTC (Framework Convention on Tobacco Control).Taxation on tobacco products and pictorial warning labels were chosen as the inputs. Percentage of daily smokers’ population above 15 years old and the number of cigarettes used per smoker per day were output variables. Additionally, the Malmquist total factor productivity (TFP) was used to analyze the panel data and measure productivity change and technical efficiency changes over time. Results: The highest TE score (1.05) was attributed to Norway and the lowest (0.9175) belonged to the United Kingdom (UK). Technological change with a total average of 1.069 would imply that the technology and creativity have increased, while countries have been able to promote their creativity over the time period. Norway with the TFP score of 1.15 was the most productive country, while the UK and Turkey with the TFP scores of 0.95 and .098 respectively, were the least productive countries in the implementation of the MPOWER policies. Conclusion : Most OECD countries have productively implemented MPOWER policies. Such productive performances are the results of the strong pivotal pictorial warnings. Consequently, the policy of plain packaging seems to hamper the MPOWER policies. Taxation on tobacco products were relatively weak and inefficient.

Objective: Stigma is one of the most significant challenges that international migrants face in their host societies. Stigma can exist at individual, interpersonal, and structural levels, and studies show that stigma towards migrants occur everywhere around the world with varying degrees. This study aimed to review existing literature on health effects of stigma towards international migrants and the role public health professionals can play to reduce stigma and its negative health outcomes for both economic and forced migrant populations. Materials and Methods: This narrative review was prepared by searching existing scientific literature in English and Turkish, in addition to available international reports and guidelines on best practices aiming to reduce stigma towards international migrants and its detrimental effects on migrant health. Results: Stigma and discrimination remain significant public health challenges across diverse cultural environments and have detrimental effects on mental, social and physical health. International migrants usually face double burden in accessing health care due to language, economic, legal, structural, and other barriers, which are excacerbated by stigma and discrimination in health care settings. Conclusion: Reversing the stigma towards international migrants requires multifaceted, multisectoral and long-term efforts, which should have social, cultural, educational, legal and institutional dimensions. Public health professionals have a strong potential to lead such joint initiatives at the local, national and global level. Targeted interventions for key professional groups are essential, however, wider educational interventions that start in pre-school years and aim to build more inclusive societies in a more sustainable way seem more crucial.

Use and abuse of novel psychoactive substances (NPS) remains a public health and law enforcement challenge across Europe and bordering countries. Increasingly NPS detected on the drug market include those with legitimate use as medicines or active pharmaceutical ingredients in medicines. This Short Communication wishes to draw attention to reports on the concerning upward trend of intravenous (IV) use of eyedrops containing tropicamide by problematic opiate users. Since 2013, trends of diversion by IV route are identified as a new phenomenon in Europe. Sales in Russia and Eastern Europe in particular have increased significantly in the past five years. Key indicators of suspected misuse include online interest particularly from Russia, Ukraine and other Eastern European countries, and pharmacovigilance and clinical alerts from Turkey , Italy, France, Georgia, Russia, Tajikistan, and Kazakhstan. Tropicamide is injected as secondary to the primary opiate addiction, and reportedly occurs as self-sufficient means to get high amongst opiate injectors when primary opiates such as heroin are not available, and as poly-substitute to further enhance the opiate effect and manage heroin (and to a lesser extent methadone) withdrawals . Anecdotally, injection of tropicamide is known as the ‘seven monther’ in relation to the length of time it takes to kill the user. The diversion of tropicamide is high risk, concentrated within problematic drug user networks, and conducted by individuals who may not be engaging with social and medical systems. Aside from dependence and physical/psychiatric harms, the risk pertaining to this injecting phenomenon as potential contribution toward virus transmission (HIV, Hepatitis C) within injecting networks are present. The Short Communication presents extant literature on the topic, and discusses implications for drug policy and service delivery.

Objective: The masses can be affected both mentally and physically even though biological agents are used in the narrow context for the purpose of bioterrorist attack. It is important to have trained and experienced health workers whose mission and responsibility is to identify biological agents rapidly and control them before they turn into epidemic. This research aims to investigate the personnel's knowledge and awareness about bioterrorist activities working in the public health laboratories and increase awareness by stressing the importance of topic. Material and Methods: This research was performed between October and December 2017 on 162 volunteers who have bachelor's and undergraduate degree and work in various occupations in public health laboratories by a 21-item questionnaire. Questionnaires applied by using face-to-face interview method, and the data were evaluated with descriptive statistics and Chi-square analysis. Results: When asked the level of knowledge about bioterrorism, 25.9% of participants stated that they have information about bioterrorism agents, while 18.5% don't have information and 55.6% have partial information. Only 6.8% of the respondents considered the trainings, which they received about bioterrorism, are adequate. While 91.4% of the respondents thought that the bioterrorist agents were important risk factors for Turkey, and 58% of them stated that the most dangerous biological agent is Bacillus anthracis. Conclusion: Evaluation results show that health personnel who work in the public health laboratories had lack of knowledge on some certain topics and unawareness in the field of bioterrorism. It is believed that inside training programs about bioterrorism will be useful to resolve the lack of information and to create awareness for health personnel. Besides bio-security information should be disseminated.

Introduction: Dental health workers are always at a risk of communicable diseases. With the increasing number of infected patients and blood borne pathogens, it becomes very important to have proper knowledge and attitude towards communicable diseases. As hepatitis B infection is a major health hazard throughout the world, healthcare students should have through knowledge about this disease. The present study was conducted to assess the level of knowledge, attitude, and behavior about hepatitis B infection among healthcare interns as they indulge in more clinical work. Materials and Methods: A cross-sectional survey was conducted of the interns of MBBS, BDS, and nursing at Rohilkhand Medical College, Institute of Dental Sciences and Rohilkhand college of nursing. The questions were obtained from a study performed in Turkey in 2010 and were modied by an infection control expert. Ethical clearance for the study was obtained from the institutional ethical committee, Institute Of Dental Sciences. Students who voluntarily wanted to participate were included in the study. Questionnaire containing 20 questions to assess the level of knowledge, attitude, and behavior about hepatitis B was distributed among the students. Data were compiled and statistical analysis was done. Results: The response rate was 90% (N = 360). In our study, majority of interns had knowledge of HBV transmission. The level of knowledge was more in MBBS interns. Similarly attitude was also higher in MBBS interns but behavior was higher in dental graduates as compared to MBBS and nursing. Conclusion: With the measure of knowledge, attitude and behaviour the students should be encourage more to acquire knowledge, practice proper infection control and use of protective measures to control the spread of infection.

This study scrutinizes effects of current health service experience on patient satisfaction. The investigation included 337 participants, who were actively receiving health services from the largest public hospitals’ clinics in Turkey. An examination of the experience’s and satisfaction’s statistical structures is made; therefore, exploratory factor and reliability analyses were applied. A structural equation modeling was used consecutively to determine the experience’s effects on satisfaction integratively. Instrument combinations were used for both ends distinctively for a peripheral approach. The tripartite experience is fully effective on satisfaction, which encompasses five elements. The experience has the strongest connection with satisfaction via Hospital Context’s Physical Aspects (HCPA) (R² = 0.88) and Attitude Of Doctor (AOD) (R² = 0.70). The weakest connection involves satisfaction from Attitudes Of Administrative Personnel (AOAP) (R² = 0.24). Two experience factors, initial contact (IC) and Awareness (AW), pose the greatest positive effects on HCPA (IC-HCPA, γ: 1.97, S.E.: 0.0058, t: 338.79; AW-HCPA, γ: 0.96, S.E.: 0.0054, t: 179.07) and AOD (IC-AOD, γ: 2.15, S.E.: 0.0057, t: 378.32; AW-AOD, γ: 1.08, S.E.: 0.0064, t: 167.92). Most of the effects is positive at factor level generally, with two exceptions: the effect of IC on AOAP (γ: - 0.32, S.E.: 0.0049, t: -65.73) and that of AW on AOAP (γ: - 0.26, S.E.: 0.0073, t: -35.88). Current health service experience is fully and supportively effective on patient satisfaction broadly, but the nature of this effect varies in terms of intensity and direction at factor level.

Abstract The COVID-19 pandemic severely impacted all facets of daily life, including and especially mobility within urban centres. As part of efforts to control the virus by encouraging citizens to stay at home, local governments imposed public health and social measures (PHSMs) restricting the availability and use of public transit. The result was an immediate, sharp decline in the use of public transit, and later as the pandemic was brought under control in certain geographies, a reluctance to return to using public transportation due to sustained fears of virus transmission. In Istanbul, Turkey, the use of public transportation decreased by over 90%, coupled with a significant rise in the use of private motorised transportation. To counter this trend, the Istanbul Metropolitan Municipality (IMM) joined cities around the world in implementing a two-pronged strategy to support safe and active mobility during the pandemic. IMM first launched a communication campaign to promote adherence to PHSMs, to rebuild trust in the safety of public transportation as restrictions eased, and to educate citizens on transportation alternatives. Billboards, social media and digital screens on public transportation promoted continued mask use, hand-washing and physical distancing and encouraged citizens wary of returning to public transit to consider walking or cycling as a safe and healthy alternative to private car use. IMM simultaneously enhanced their cycling infrastructure, creating new temporary and permanent bike lanes that closed connectivity gaps within the city. This talk will further elaborate on IMM's actions and the results and explore how they and other cities can sustain the focus on safe and active mobility as a longer-term strategy to reduce private car use and improve health outcomes.

Epilepsy accounts for 0.6% of the global disease burden according to the World Health Organization. Around 30% of patients have drug resistant epilepsy (DRE) and continue to have seizures despite being prescribed anti-epileptic drugs (AED). Vagus Nerve Stimulation (VNS) therapy has become an important treatment option for DRE. The aim of this study is to understand the cost-effectiveness (CE) and budget impact (BI) of VNS with AspireSR Model 106 in a subgroup of DRE patients in Turkey. A Markov based CE and BI were conducted from the public payer perspective. Unit Costs and frequency of health utilisation in DRE were retrieved from Social Security Institution (SGK) lists and a literature review, including drugs, medical devices, adverse reactions and hospitalisations. For the CE, clinical outcomes have been extrapolated over 10 years based on outcomes identified through a systematic review and meta-analysis. In the BI, the number of eligible patients of a DRE subgroup expected to benefit the most, was estimated based on epidemiological data and historical VNS market penetration rates. The time horizon for the BI was 3 years. Costs and quality-adjusted life-years (QALYs) were estimated at 1,699,303.74TRY and 6.29 for VNS arm and 2,196,469.83TRY and 5.71 for AED, respectively (hence, VNS therapy dominates). In the BI; 48, 117, 206 patients were estimated to receive the implant over consecutive years, resulting in cumulative savings of 604,374TRY over 3 years. VNS Therapy has become important for DRE patients resulting in disease control and higher QALYs. The study shows that Aspire SR Model 106 results in lower costs and higher QALYs in a subgroup of DRE patients when compared to AED.

Vaccination is an effective, cost-effective, and accepted method for reducing mortality and morbidity of various diseases. It is also considered one of the most important achievements of public health. The World Health Organization's March 2018 report states that global immunization prevents 2-3 million deaths annually, proving how important vaccination is important to public health. Although the proven benefits of vaccination are well known, there has been a global decline in immunization rates in childhood in recent years. According to 2017 data in Europe, the number of measles cases increased approximately threefold compared to the previous year and 87% of the diagnosed cases refused to be vaccinated. The immunization rate with pertussis, tetanus and diphtheria vaccines has decreased to 92% in Europe and  91% in the US.  In Turkey, it was determined that the overall vaccination rates declined. Immunization rates of measles, rubella, mumps, diphtheria, acellular pertussis, tetanus, conjugated pneumococcal and hepatitis B vaccines decreased from 98% in 2016 to 96% in the following year. The World Health Organization has included vaccine rejection among the 10 global problems identified for 2019. A multidisciplinary effort is needed to reduce vaccine hesitation and increase vaccination rates in the community. In this context, preventing anti-vaccination is a social responsibility and it imposes important duties for health personnel, media workers and even politicians. Although there are studies on the causes of vaccine rejection in the literature, no studies have been found to prevent it.The purpose of this review is to suggest interventions to prevent anti-vaccine in line with the reasons for vaccine rejection and hesitation.Vaccine rejection and hesitations are thought to be prevented by interventional studies in line with the recommendations given in the review.

Objective: This study was conducted to determine pregnant women's health literacy level and evaluate the relationship between the determined health literacy levels with COVID 19 knowledge, attitudes, and behaviors. Materials and Methods: This descriptive and cross-sectional study was conducted on 381 pregnant women between September 2020 and February 2021. The questionnaire, 25 questions about socio-demographic characteristics and knowledge, attitudes and behaviors with COVID 19, and “Turkey Health Literacy Scale-32 (THLS-32)” consisting of 32 questions was applied by face-to-face interview technique. Results: The average age of participants is 28.70 ± 5.45, and 58.8% of them have an education level above high school. It is the first pregnancy of 27.0% of participants. The average week of gestation is 22.45 ± 9.94. Of the participants, 23.9% have inadequate, 19.7% limited, 28.3% adequate and 28.1% have excellent general health literacy. The average general health literacy average is 33.28 ± 12.63. Health literacy level is high in participants with education level, employment, number of pregnancies and lower pregnancy (p <0.05). Adequate health literacy level is higher in participants who say fever, respiratory distress, and cough are the symptoms of COVID-19 (p <0.05). Adequate health literacy (disease prevention and health promotion) level is higher in participants who avoid close contacts such as handshaking or hugging (p <0.05). Conclusion: More than half of pregnant women is adequate health literacy levels. Adequate health literacy is high in compliance COVID-19 rules. Improving health literacy can provide benefits in solving both COVID-19 disease and other health problems.

We aim at to investigate the most efficient of the correlations formed from factors loading generated from the variables formed from the data about the which affected the public health during COVID-19 pandemic and to analyze the results obtained. For this study, we have conducted a cross-sectional inquiry using the Web based random sampling method during the pandemic which began in Turkey on March 2020. At first sight, the inquiry can be thought in the form of four main elements (categories): (1) Demographic features of the participants, (2) Risk and danger perception of the pandemic, (3) Individual and social protection from the pandemic, and (4) Examination of the physiological and psychological effects of the pandemic. Before carrying out simply statistical modeling analysis from the data, we have observed easily that there is a multidirectional and complicated pressure psychology ruling in the community. In order to reach a premise like this and/or information which will let us think like this, we have found convenient to work with factor analysis methods which are multivariable statistical models. We even have found that some results for hindering the distribution of the virus are continually discussed but they are not scientifically established. For example, we have found that individual and social protection actions are successfully taken into account. Women are taking the actions with a higher rate than men. Also, the well educated people are taking actions with a higher rate than those who are low educated. We have revealed that the inactive life during the pandemic process, the increasing carbohydrate consumption caused weight increases. The economic problems together with job losses due to the pandemic of COVID-19 created serious concerns which led to psychological and physiological disorders.

Background: Infection control prevention is a major concern across the world. Several programs are dedicated to an installed problem, HIV infection. PICTE – HIV, however is a program aimed to the prevention of this problem through education. The present work aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of an HIV training program for young people. The training program was funded by the ERASMUS + program. Methods and materials: The sample consists of 309 young people between 10 and 16 age, from 5 different countries, Poland, Italy, Portugal, Turkey and Bulgaria. The intervention took place during one academic year, with 10 sessions of 90 min, in school context. To assess the impact of the intervention on students’ scores on HIV information, a global knowledge questionnaire was applied before and after the intervention, as well as 10 questionnaires, before and after the sessions, organized into 10 specific themes: Sexual body; Sexual identity and gender; Sexual and Reproductive Health - The Importance of Hygiene; General characteristics of the virus; Viral replication (and HIV); Confused symptoms; History and worldwide distribution; Prevention of HIV; Diagnosis of HIV; HIV Treatment and Role play - consultation. Results: Results demonstrate statistically significant differences between pre-intervention and post-intervention. There was a statistically significant increases in scores from Time 1 (M = 40.36, SD = 2.29) to Time 2 (M = 8.83, SD = 1.85), t (303) = -28.18, p < . 0005 (two-tailed). Conclusion: An educated individual will be able to take informed choices. Programs such as PICTE-HIV hope to have a positive influence in the area of sexual education and across time to be able to have an impact on the reduction of HIV infection.

Turkey conducted three rounds of the Global Adult Tobacco Survey (GATS) in 2008, 2012, and 2016 to monitor tobacco use and key tobacco control indicators. The prevalence estimate of adult tobacco use was 31.2% in 2008 and it declined to 27.1% in 2012.GATS is a nationally-representative, cross-sectional household survey of tobacco-use and related behaviors among adults aged ≥15 years. Outcome measures were prevalence of current tobacco smoking and interest in quitting smoking. Multivariable logistic regression analyses assessed changes in the adjusted prevalence and predictors of the outcome variables.The unadjusted prevalence of tobacco smoking among adults was 31.6% in 2016; a significant increase in the adjusted prevalence of 4.5% from 2012 to 2016. A significant 19.4% decline was observed in interest in quitting smoking from 2012 to 2016. Tobacco smoking was lower among women (adjusted prevalence ratio, APR=0.38) and rural residents (APR=0.79), and higher among adults aged 25-64 years compared to those aged 15-24 years (APR=1.63), and those who lived with other adults who smoke tobacco (APR=1.55). Predictors of increased interest in quitting smoking included rural residence (APR=1.13), higher education level (APR=1.21-1.36), awareness of anti-tobacco warnings and advertisements (APR=1.30), and belief that smoking causes severe health consequences (APR=1.57).This study identified opportunities to reduce tobacco smoking and increase interest in quitting, including increasing awareness of the health consequences of smoking and of evidence-based cessation resources. This study highlights Turkey's commitment to assessing or monitoring tobacco use and key tobacco indicators to inform their policies and programs in a changing tobacco landscape.

Abstract PURPOSE This study aims to understand the beliefs about thirdhand smoke among parents or grandparents of children in Northern Turkey and to provide an evidence base to incorporate thirdhand smoke preventative action into tobacco control interventions. METHODS This cross-sectional study were collected through face-to-face interviews in a tertiary training hospital. Total of 1016 parents make assessments on the 'beliefs about thirdhand smoke' (BATHS) scale. Sociodemographic details including age, gender, education level, smoking status, personal income, exposure in the home, car or outside, type of home ownership and awareness of the term third-hand smoke were investigated. Scale assessment, univariate and multivariate analyses to explore the factors influencing the BATHS scale and awareness of the term third-hand smoke, were performed using SPSS version 22.0. RESULTS Participants who were grandparents,non smokers, higher incomes, those who have heard the term third-hand smoke and higher education levels were more likely to get higher scores on the BATHS scale (p&lt;0.001). The level of awareness is 8.7%. Awareness of the term third-hand smoke was associated with education (OR=18.835;95% CI:5.205- 68.186, p&lt;0.001), living own home (OR=2,667;95% CI:1.377-5.181, p=0.004). Smoking status, exposure in the home,car and ouside get higher BATHS score (p&lt;0.001) but not significant with awereness (p&gt;0.05). CONCLUSIONS Thirdhand smoke harm belief was associated with education, enforced smoke-free home and car and attempts to quit smoking. Sensitizing parents to thirdhand smoke risk could guide targeted actions for smoke-free home interventions

Abstract Peer-reviewed publications using tobacco surveillance data represent a critical step toward evidence-based tobacco control, but research and publication capacity in countries with fewer resources may be limited. This paper describes patterns in use of the Global Adult Tobacco Survey (GATS) and/or Global Youth Tobacco Survey (GYTS) data for publications, investigates the origin of the data versus the origin of lead authorship, and describes geographic patterns of publications by country, region, and country income. A bibliometric inventory using six search engines was conducted for relevant studies using data from either of these surveys between January 1999 and January 2021. Descriptive statistics, including frequencies and percentages,were used to analyze publication characteristics. Our search strategy retrieved 1,834 initial records; 493 publications were ultimately included: 249 (50.5%) used adult surveillance data (GATS) and 248 (50.3%) used youth surveillance data (GYTS). Most publications were in English (97.2%, n=479). Data published 50 or more times represented 12 low- and middle-income countries (LMIC): India, Bangladesh, Vietnam, Mexico, Egypt, Thailand, Poland, Philippines, China, Russian Federation, Turkey and Ukraine. While many of the papers analyzed data from low- and middle-income countries, the number of publications by origin of lead author was the highest for the United States ( n =135) and India ( n =84). Over 80% of the world’s 1.3 billion tobacco users live in low- and middle-income countries (LMIC) and we found underrepresentation of these countries as lead authors. These findings can be used to identify opportunities to enhance capacity for analysis, research and dissemination of global tobacco control data in LMIC.

This study aims at expounding the levels, attributes, and contradiction with applicable tobacco control legislation, of official incentives granted in Turkey to augment tobacco product manufacturing and trade. <b>Method:</b> Data contained in Investment Incentive Permit lists published in the Official Gazette for January 2000 -July 2016 and those contained in Inward and Outward Processing Permits lists published for January 2015-June 2016 have been screened with tobacco product related keywords. Data pertaining only to tobacco product manufacturing have been tabulated, and examined by way of classification. <b>Findings:</b> A total of 28 Investment Incentive Permits have been granted for tobacco product manufacturing investments during the January 2000-July 2016 period. Comprised of VAT and Customs duty exemptions and other similar official supports, these incentives clustered conspicuously in the 2010-2016 period in terms of numbers and size of investments, and peaked in 2015. Supported projects include manufacturing of cigarettes, waterpipe tobacco, macarons/RYO tobacco, cigarette paper and filters, and processed tobacco, are of varying scales (average fixed investment value is TL 18.6 million), and represent fully new (50 %), expansion (29 %), and modernization (21 %) investments. During the 18 months between January 2015-June 2016, 27 Inward Processing Permits and 2 Outward Processing Permits have been granted for tobacco products. <b>Conclusion:</b> The investment and export incentives granted to the tobacco industry are in stark contradiction with Framework Convention on Tobacco Control, should be revoked on the legal basis and be enacted to enforce FCTC Article 5.3 provisions.

Objective&#x0D; On 30 January 2020, WHO declared that coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) outbreak has met the criteria for a Public Health Emergency of International Concern. Here, we report the clinical features and outcome of the first two cases of COVID-19 in a university hospital in Turkey, who were housemate internists.&#x0D; Case Presentation&#x0D; Our first patient was a 28-year-old female who works as a resident in the Internal Medicine Department of a 1200-bed, tertiary care University Hospital. Her initial symptom was fatigue. She developed dry cough, nausea, and myalgia. She had no fever, no shortness of breath, or any other complaints. As the 2019-nCoV PCR test was positive, oral hydroxychloroquine and azithromycin were commenced. After the positive PCR test of the first patient, we screened 85 subjects who had unprotected exposure to her; most of them were her colleagues and other healthcare workers. Test results of all but one were negative. The only person with a positive test result was the 35-year-old female who was the housemate and also a colleague of the first patient.&#x0D; Discussion&#x0D; These two cases showed us the desperate situation of COVID-19. To fight an infectious disease that had a high transmission rate, it is important to the infection chain between source and vulnerable subject and transmission route. Unfortunately, to find all infected sources is not possible every time, due to asymptomatic or mild cases, or with low sensitivity diagnostic tests. So, we need to do vigorous isolation precautions and to test more people to end up this pandemic.

The refugee crisis in Europe continues to persist despite recent data, showing a drop in the number of refugees seeking asylum. The EU has called this as “an unprecedented displacement crisis” and has aimed at devising a comprehensive approach to tackle it, which has been widely criticized. Concerns about public healthcare aspects of the crisis have permanently entered the media and policy discourse even though no systematic association between migration and the importation of infectious diseases has been recorded. In this context, the literature has not filled the existing gap between discourse and evidence, and almost no publications with reliable empirical data exist, both thematic (epidemiology) and geographical (Eastern Europe and Bulgaria). Among the existing publications, the focus has been on TB and HIV (Odone et al., Euro J Public Health 25(3):506–512, 2015). In light of this, the aim of this research is to contribute to the debate by providing an overview of the refugee situation in Bulgaria, as a primary entry-point for refugees entering the EU. In order to achieve this, the article analyses the case of the refugee camp in city of Harmanly, close to the Bulgarian-Turkish border, and assesses the public health risks related to this specific situation. Based on a study of 128 patients with different symptoms we aim to draw wider implications about the linkages between public health and migration. The in-depth review of this specific case shows that both the probability and impact of migration on public health increases when the hosting country is relatively poor, the domestic public healthcare system is not efficient, and there is lack of trust in the government and public services. The study contributes to understanding better these risks in order to identify potential mitigation strategies in the region and the EU as a whole.

Civil society organizations (CSOs) can make a vital contribution to public health and health systems, but harnessing their potential is complex in a Europe where government-CSO relations vary so profoundly. This study is intended to outline some of the challenges and assist policy-makers in furthering their understanding of the part CSOs can play in tandem and alongside government. To this end it analyses existing evidence and draws on a set of seven thematic chapters and six mini case studies. They examine experiences from Austria, Bosnia-Herzegovina, Belgium, Cyprus, Finland, Germany, Malta, the Netherlands, Poland, the Russian Federation, Slovenia, Turkey and the European Union and make use of a single assessment framework to understand the diverse contexts in which CSOs operate.The evidence shows that CSOs are ubiquitous, varied and (typically) beneficial. The topics covered in this study reflect such diversity of aims and means: anti-tobacco advocacy, food banks, refugee health, HIV/AIDS prevention, and social partnership. CSOs make a substantial contribution to public health and health systems with regards to policy development, service delivery and governance. This includes evidence provision, advocacy, mobilization, consensus building, provision of medical services and of services related to the social determinants of health, standard setting, self-regulation and fostering social partnership.Engaging successfully with CSOs means governments making use of adequate tools and creating contexts conducive to collaboration. This book guides policy-makers working with CSOs and helps avoid some potential pitfalls. The editors outline a practical framework for such collaboration which suggests identifying key CSOs in a given area; clarifying why there should be engagement with civil society; being realistic as to what CSOs can or will achieve; and an understanding of how CSOs can be helped to deliver.

Behcet’s Syndrome (BS) is a clinical entity characterized by the appearance of recurrent oral and genital ulcers, in addition to a broad spectrum of clinical manifestations. It has been seen more frequently in countries such as Turkey and Japan, but also in Brazil, although there are no consistent epidemiologic data in our country. The aim of the present study is to evaluate the prevalence of BS in patients with recurrent aphthous ulcerations (RAU), to test the hypothesis that BS could be under diagnosed in our medium. Material and Methods. This is a cross-sectional investigation of the prevalence of BS in patients with RAU attended by the Stomatology service of the Bahian School of Medicine and Public Health (“Escola Bahiana de Medicina e Saude Publica”) (Salvador-Bahia-Brazil) between August 2006 and August 2007. The first stage identified the individuals with RAU among all the patients examined at the ambulatory clinic; the second stage carefully examined the patients with to identify the patients with BS. Results. Three hundred and six patients were attended at the ambulatory clinic in the study period, but the standard questionnaire was applied to 50 (16.6%) patients, 29 men and 21 women, identified as having RAU. Only one patient met the international critena for diagnosis of SB [International Study Group for Behcet's Disease (ISGBD)], presenting RAU of the smaller and complex type, recurrent genital ulcers, cutaneous, articular, ocular, and vascular manifestations, hypoacusia and fever, and a prevalence of 2% of BS was defined in this subgroup of patients. Conclusion. In Brazil there are no data relative to the prevalence or incidence of BS, however, the disease has been observed in different regions of the country. In the present study, the frequency of 2% of BS in patients with RAU demonstrates the need for further population-based studies to be developed in our medium, in order to definitively establish the real prevalence of this condition.

There are numerous comparative studies on European spatial planning systems (CEC 1997; Knieling and Othengrafen 2009; Newman and Thornley 1996). Why do we need one more, and how does this one differ from the rest? This book compares planning systems in twelve European countries: Belgium (Flanders), the Czech Republic, Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Italy, Poland, The Netherlands, Turkey, and the UK. Each country is presented in a separate chapter. The authorship comprises a mixture not only of professors, but also of planning professionals and young academics. Overall, the quality of the chapters on planning systems is very high. Some contributions are stronger in terms of theory (such as the description of the Greek system); others focus more on a case-study approach. The description of each planning system follows a similar structure: a short introduction reviewing the context of the various systems, a brief elaboration on the basic features of the planning system in question, an identification of pressing problems and challenges, descriptions of ‘‘dimensions and directions’’ of changes, and a conclusion. In the first chapter of the book, the editors introduce this analytical framework. In the conclusion of the book, the editors reflect on the diversity of the different spatial planning systems. This structure is very much in line with other comparisons of planning systems. Reimer and his colleagues claim that their book differs because they pursue a different approach than that of the ‘‘Newman and Thornley tradition’’ (Reimer et al. 2014, p. 3). This tradition of comparative research focuses on legal-administrative framework conditions. Reimer and his colleagues criticize this tradition because it overlooks many issues that characterize spatial planning in practice. However, most chapters in this book place a strong focus on legal-administrative issues in the planning systems: institutions, laws, and

<b>Objective:</b> Investment incentives given to the tobacco industry&nbsp;undermine tobacco control and are contrary to WHO Framework Convention on Tobacco Control (FCTC) Article 5.3 . The aim of this study is to examine the investment incentives given by the Ministry of Industry and Technology to tobacco industry&nbsp;and tobacco sub-industry and to reveal the damage these incentives cause to tobacco control in Turkey. <b>Method:</b> The words “tobacco, cigarette, macaron, hookah, hookah tobacco, shisha, hookah pipe and mouthpiece” were searched in 44 Investment Incentive Lists&nbsp;between January 2019-August 2022 period. 53 documents listed as related to tobacco product manufacturing, tobacco product use and other tobacco industry incentives. <b>Results:</b> 13 incentive certificates were issued in 2019; 15 in 2020; 17 in 2021 and 8 in 2022.&nbsp;VAT Exemption is applied to all companies and at least one other support element is offered to 42 companies. Interest Support to 17 companies, Tax Deduction to 31, Contribution to Investment to 31, Insurance Premium Employer Share to 31, Income Tax Withholding Support for 10 years to 7 , Insurance Premium Support to 7 companies for 10 years, Customs Duty Exemption to 31 companies, and 1 company received Investment Place Allocation. <b>Conclusion:</b> Investment incentives given to TI and and tobacco sub-industry are a clear violation of the provisions of the Article 5.3. Legal measures should be adopted for the implementation of FCTC Article 5.3 and existing problems should immediately be solved. Part&nbsp;of the tax&nbsp;revenues from tobacco should be dedicated to "public health" and "tobacco control" programs in accordance with the implementation guideline of Article 6.1 of FCTC.

Turkey has accomplished remarkable improvements in terms of health status particularly after the implementation of the Health Transformation Program (HTP). Within the scope of HTP, the number of people covered by public health insurance, the number of hospital visits and also the number of physician consultation per capita has increased and disparities of benefit package between different sick funds have been unified. As a result, total health care expenditures have increased at a large extent. The aim of this study is to evaluate the rates of increases in the expenditures of Social Security Institution (SSI) in terms of pharmaceutical and treatment expenditures between 2005 and 2011. Databases of SSI, IMS, Ministry of Health and AIFD have been searched for the period of 2005 to 2011. Rates of increase in the health expenditures, number of people covered by public health insurance, hospital visits and the number of physician consultation per capita have been evaluated and compared. Between 2005 and 2011, coverage of public health insurance has risen from 89 to 96, physician consultation per capita has increased 63.8%, total health expenditures of SSI have increased 18% with a 23% increase in treatment expenditures and 12% increase in pharmaceutical expenditures. As a result of increase in the coverage of public health insurance and the number of hospital visits, treatment expenditures have risen at a large extent. But on the other hand, pharmaceutical expenditures’ increase rate was not at the same level. The main reasons are the global budget policy and the increases at the mandatory institutional discounts, which are being used as a major cost containment tool. Despite the success in the containment of pharmaceutical expenditures, any major cost containment policy for treatment expenditures haven’t been implicated, and in addition treatment expenditures are continuing to rise.

Abstract There is limited empirical evidence on whether Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) related lockdown restrictions precipitate or perpetuate musculoskeletal (MSK) disorders. This study was aimed to synthesis literature that assessed the impact of COVID-19 related lockdown restrictions on MSK health. A literature search was conducted using MEDLINE, CINAHL, PsycINFO, Allied and Complementary Medicine Database (AMED), Web of Science, and Scopus databases. Studies meeting the following criteria were included in the review: the condition being considered was MSK health, the intervention was COVID-19 related lockdown restrictions, cross sectional studies, cohort studies, case controlled, prospective studies and retrospective studies. Data were extracted by 2 independent researchers. Risk of bias was assessed by the Newcastle–Ottawa quality assessment scale. Evidence from included studies was summarised using narrative synthesis. Fourteen studies comprising 22,471 participants of the general population from Turkey (n = 5), Italy (n = 1), Poland (n = 1), Australia (n = 2), Jordan (n = 1), Bangladesh (n = 1), Estonia (n = 1), the Netherlands (n = 1) and Saudi Arabia (n = 1) have met the inclusion criteria. The sample size of populations studied ranged from 91 to 1054. The included studies used questionnaire, visual analogic scale, or growth mixture modelling. Except for one study, all the included studies reported increased prevalence and incidence of MSK disorders due to COVID-19 related lockdown restrictions. The findings suggest that COVID-19 related lockdown restriction led to increased MSK disorders. Home-based strategies such as physical activity programmes and ergonomic workspace could potentially guide public health authorities to avoid MSK health problem.

PURPOSE: The aim of this study was to develop an instrument based on the Health Belief Model that measures urinary incontinence awareness and beliefs regarding pelvic floor muscle (Kegel) exercises. DESIGN: Evaluation of validity and reliability of the novel instrument and analysis of sociodemographic variables based on responses to this 49-item scale. SUBJECTS AND SETTING: The sample used to validate the instrument (n = 527) was drawn from patients cared for at the gynecology and obstetrics and urology polyclinic at Ondokuz Mayıs University Hospital. A majority of participants were female (n = 431, 81.8%) and their average age was 33.8 years (SD 12.3). The university is located in Samsun, a city located in northern Turkey. Data were collected between October 2019 and December 2020. METHODS: The Health Belief Scale for Urinary Incontinence and Kegel Exercise's validity was analyzed using a content validity index approach with 8 experts. Psychometric measurements were obtained using exploratory factor analysis and Cronbach's α reliability analysis. Exploratory factor analysis incorporated principal component analysis and varimax rotation. t Tests and 1-way analysis of variance were used to compare subdimensions of the Health Belief Scale for Urinary Incontinence and Kegel Exercise with some variables (sex, education status, marital status, make Kegel exercises regularly, etc). RESULTS: Results supported a scale having 49 items and 6 subscales per factor analysis explaining 59.8% of total variance. With exploratory factor analysis, the Kaiser-Meyer-Olkin coefficient was 0.899 and Barlett test result was χ² = 18389.424 ( P = .001). Cronbach's α coefficients for the scale varied between 0.79 and 0.94. Factor loadings per underlying dimensions ranged from 0.42 to 0.84. CONCLUSION: The Health Belief Scale for Urinary Incontinence and Kegel Exercise is a valid and reliable instrument.

The direct and indirect effects of the COVID-19 pandemic on children and youth people are well documented. Little is known about children's experiences of the pandemic in their own words. We aimed to explore Turkish children's experiences and views about the pandemic, across private and public educational systems.Six focus group discussions were conducted online with 30 children aged between 7 to 18 years in 2021. Children were enrolled through snowball sampling technique according to developmental age groups. A thematic analysis was conducted.We identified five themes: Compliance with public health measures about preventing the spread of COVID-19, changes in daily routines, emotional responses to the pandemic, distance education, and adaptive responses. Overall, children were well informed and receptive to the public health preventive measures with the exception of older children's tendency to disregard physical distancing with friends. They reported frustration with those who did not comply with measures and believed that the authorities should strictly enforce public health requirements. Emotional responses comprised fear of family members and themselves being infected, anxiety produced by the uncertainty of the virus, and the loss of social support. There was a perceived disparity between students from public and private schools regarding academic self-competence. Positive aspects of the pandemic included positive interactions with family members and the acquisition of new hobbies. Although most children acknowledged the support of their parents to deal with challenges, children of health workers were particularly isolated in terms of emotional support.Our findings offer additional insights and validate previous research on the negative and positive effects of COVID-19 from the child's perspective across private and public educational systems. This study contributes to global advocacy efforts aimed at understanding the impact of the pandemic on children.

To investigate the changes in the provision of preventive health services in terms of woman and child health after reorganization of the primary health care services.The primary care system in Turkey has undergone fundamental changes as a part of Health Transformation Program during last decade. But there was no community-based study to evaluate these changes.This community-based and cross-sectional study was conducted in 2010, just before the reorganization of primary care services and in 2015, five year after the reforms. The 30×7 cluster sampling method was used in Zümrütevler quarter of Maltepe District. The socio-demographic characteristics of the participants, the presence of the physician who can be consulted for any health problem, the presence of smokers at home were questioned. The women aged 18 years or older and gave consent provided information about history of pregnancy and birth, the number of follow-ups during pregnancy, family planning method usage, cervical and breast cancer screening, breastfeeding duration, vaccinations, and prophylactic iron and vitamin D supplementation for their children.After the reorganization of primary care, more people stated that they had physicians to whom they could consult for all kinds of health problems (27.8 versus 44.7%; P<0.001) and that physician was the primary care physician (30.2 versus 64.7%; P<0.001). The reported frequency of at least one smoker at home was decreased after reorganization of primary care (63.6 versus 53.1%; P=0.034). There were no significant differences in terms unplanned pregnancy, the use of family planning method, the number of pregnancy follow-ups and the frequency of Pap smears and mammography. There are no significant differences in terms of healthy children follow-ups, vaccination, vitamin D and iron supplementation (P>0.05). It was found that the duration of total breastfeeding increased after reorganization of primary care (P<0.001).

Health literacy (HL), by definition, refers to a person's ability to obtain, interpret and comprehend fundamental health information and services in order to enhance their health. In our study, it was aimed to determine HL level of health vocational high school students. The population of this descriptive cross-sectional study consists of students attending a Health Vocational High School(n:337). In May-June 2019, questionnaire form and 'Turkey Health Literacy Scale-32' were applied to students who voluntarily agreed to participate in study. Kolmogorov Smirnov, Mann Whitney U, Kruskal Wallis tests were used in analysis of data. Sixty-eight percent of the pupils were female, while thirty-two percent were male. Study group had a THLQ score of 33.7±8.9, with 53.7 percent of male pupils and 39.5 percent of female pupils having insufficient/limited HL and the difference was significant (p&lt;0.025). Insufficient/limited HL was found in 56.4 percent of 9th-10th grade students and 37.4 percent of 11th-12th grade students and the difference was significant again (p&lt;0.0001). The HL levels did not differ from pupils' socio-demographic factors (p&gt;0.05). In study group, rate of adequate/perfect HL was higher in women than in men. According to scores of participants from sub-matrix components of scale, level of health literacy is generally sufficient, but sub-dimensions of "Treatment-Service-Evaluation of Information", "Prevention from Diseases-Health Promotion-Evaluation of Information-Using Information", "Assessment of Information about Health" are limited. The insufficiency of medical education in schools is demonstrated by the low level of HL. To enhance awareness of health-related concerns in schools, frequent activities should be planned.

Background: Quit-For-King Project has launched from 2016 to 2019. The campaign activities, treatment &amp;counseling, and public health network are required. Quit-Calendar was considered as a cessation aid for this project. It aimed to provide a useful reminder for smokers to specify their quit dates, learn some self-help guides, and receive pharmacological assistance. Methods: It is a cross-sectional descriptive study. One-hundred and thirty three Health promoting hospital (HPH) staff from SriSa-Ket province underwent ‘Quit-Calendar training programs included, knowledge and skills of counseling, pharmacotherapy, and steps of using Quit-Calendar. Information related to smoking cessation services at primary care units (HPH). Descriptivestatistical analysis was implemented. Results: Totally, there were 177 HPH participants enrolled to the training program. The majority was females (7.3%), have already opened smoking cessation services (93.4%) with mainly 1 to 3 year working experience (63.3%). Noticeably, smoking cessation services were mainly set up at outpatient clinics (89.8%). Most common smoking cessation services include lifestyle modification (98.4%). Regarding health policies in Sri-Sa-Ket province, only 5A counseling with ‘cold turkey’ technique, and herbal medicines were provided for the patients. Interestingly, the majority of quitters were monitored by public health volunteers who met them regularly (85.36%) not healthcare provider at the hospitals. The success keys included, the readiness of quitter, followed by clear and supportive policies and family members consecutively (38.64, 32.95, 21.59%). Conclusion: Quit-Calendar was successfully modified. Quit-Calendar was comprised into ‘Quit-For-King’ Project to enhance the success of quit rates (phase II). The preparations of HPH staff were also conducted. Further investigations of its effectiveness, users’ satisfaction and limitations of the calendar will be performed.

<h3>Objectives</h3> This study develops an assessment tool to measure how ready a country is to adopt road safety measures. <h3>Background</h3> Strong states can centrally implement broad reforms, but can inhibit agenda setting by civil society. Weak states allow a variety of actors to set the agenda, but seldom exhibit coherence in addressing public health problems. The interplay between state and society is determinative of the effective enactment of safety measures. <h3>Methods</h3> A consortium led by a multinational agency has begun a 5 year project to improve road safety in China, India, Kenya, Turkey, Egypt, Mexico, Russia, Vietnam and Cambodia. This study examines each country9s recent history of public health activism for road safety in both civil and government sectors. Consortium members will be holding stakeholders meetings from February to May 2010 and key informant interviews will be conducted. A road safety readiness index will be calculated prospectively for each country and later follow back studies can examine how the success of the initiative was related to political culture. <h3>Results</h3> Preliminary work on the index has identified the key following factors: (a) constitutional degree of centralisation of state power; (b) degree of engagement in road safety by the political elites; (c) media coverage of road safety issues; (d) Existence of local champions. <h3>Significance</h3> Road safety is characterised by profound mismatch between high disease burden and low levels of social engagement compared to other public health research. New insights from political science can help inform current interventions to close the gap.

Pertussis, sometimes called whooping cough, is a highly contagious disease that remains an important cause of death worldwide, more particularly in developing countries. Its mortality occurs largely in infants less than 1 year of age, especially among those who have not completed their primary vaccinations. Diphtheria and tetanus toxoids combined with whole cell Bordetella pertussis (DTwP) vaccines were developed and licensed during the 1940s, have been widely used for over 60 years, and have been central to the WHO Expanded Program on Immunization (EPI) since its inception in 1974, leading to considerable impact in controlling pertussis. However, there are still global disparities with regard to vaccine use and coverage. Concerns about the reactogenicity of DTwP vaccines led to reduced immunization coverage and a subsequent increase in disease incidence in some countries. This prompted the development of acellular (aP) pertussis vaccines, which have a considerably better safety profile. Currently, DTaP vaccines – sometimes combined with other antigens – are used in the national immunization programs in Canada, the United States, various European countries (eg, Denmark, France, Germany, Ireland, Italy, Spain, Sweden, UK), Asia (eg, Japan, South Korea), Australia, Costa Rica, Mexico, South Africa, and Turkey. National surveillance programs and specific studies in Europe and North America have demonstrated that the licensed aP vaccines, regardless of the number of acellular pertussis components contained therein, have substantial effectiveness in preventing pertussis when used comprehensively among infants and young children. The broader deployment of aP vaccines and childhood combined vaccines is of considerable public health interest. Experience with the use of these vaccines will be presented.

There are many types of coronavirus on the bases of important hosts including human, rat, turkey, rabbit, etc. The virus looks like a crown or corona of the sun with its round projection, spike. Now a day, newly emerged coronavirus disease (COVID 19) was first detected at Wuhan, China in December 2019 and it became a public health emergency international concern. Although a couple of researches has been conducting, much secretes of the virus and disease is still not understood and not reached a common understanding yet. However, sharing basic information is crucial based on the existing published research articles and updated information. Therefore, this review aimed to draw attention to the COVID 19 pandemic facts, opportunities, and challenges based on up to date information on cases in Ethiopia. Accordingly, the coronavirus is a single-stranded, non-segmented RNA genome virus. Two third of the genome (5'end) consists of two genes that code nonstructural proteins and the other 2-7 genes (3' end) code structural proteins including spike, envelope, membrane, and nucleocapsid. The virus transmits from animal to human and suggested as it might be originated from a bat and/or seafood. Coronavirus transmit human to human by direct contact and droplets during coughing and sneezing and common symptoms like fever, dry cough, and tiredness, short breathing, etc. can be seen from the patient. So that stay at home and social distancing are the most practicing pre-prevention methods. The disease causes high economic loss, face to face education closure, community cultural practice, and mass gathering activities are prohibited.

The mass media campaigns involved relaying health and family planning information via radio, television, and pamphlets. The evaluations showed that these campaigns were an effective technique to promote behavior change, e.g. they have boosted demand for contraceptives, condom sales, clinic visits, and inquiries to hotlines. A 6-part television drama incorporating health and family planning into its storyline stimulated behavior change in Pakistan in 1991. 36% of people surveyed after the drama series said they would limit the number of children they would have. 44% planned to improve communication with their spouse. An amusing television promotion in Brazil which ran for 6 months in the late 1980s prompted 58% of new clinic patients in 1 town to seek a vasectomy. 1 clinic experienced an 81% increase in vasectomies. A 6-month campaign to promote condom use in Colombia in 1988-89 resulted in a 75% rise in condom sales. In the mid 1980, a 6-9 month mass media popular music campaign (2 songs and videos disseminated via television, radio, and print materials) in Mexico and Latin America strove to encourage youth to be responsible for their sexual behavior. During the campaign, an adult counseling center received an 800% increase in letters (50-450 letters/month). 4 radio and 5 television spots promoting health and family planning in Kwara State, Nigeria in 1984-87 increased family planning acceptors 500% from 258 to 1526 in the 7 existing clinics. Other successful campaigns took place in the Philippines, Zimbabwe, Indonesia, Turkey, Bolivia and Honduras.

Objective: To investigate health literacy, behavioral and psychosocial characteristics in coronary artery patients.Methods: Between March 2019 and 2020 years, 275 coronary artery patients aged ≥50 years were included in the study. Turkish Health Literacy Scale-32 and Beck Depression Inventory were used to collect the data.Results: General health literacy index score was 31.7 and the prevalence of limited health literacy was 59.3%. Adequate health literacy was 2.8 fold higher in the 50-64 age group, 3.1 fold higher among men, 3.4 fold higher among married and 5.3 fold higher among those who believed in the necessity of individual protective practices (P<0.05). Significant differences were also found in different working status, living places, perceived economic situation, perceived general health status, comorbidities, family history of coronary artery disease, angiography history, material skills on reading and understanding, level of depressive syptom, commitment to individual protective practices health check-ups, utilizing health services, cigarette and alcohol use, and exercise and nutrition between limited and adequate health literacy (P<0.05). Logistic regression analysis showed that adequate health literacy was significantly higher among younger patients (OR: 2.81; 95% CI: 1.46-5.62), male gender (OR: 3.10; 95% CI: 1.46-6.58), married (OR: 3.42; 95% CI: 1.39-8.44) and those with belief in individual protective practices (OR: 5.3; 95% CI: 1.93-14.96).Conclusions: Health literacy is poor among coronary artery patients and behavioral and psychosocial variables differ with health literacy levels. To keep cardiovascular health among these patients, health literacy-based interventions should be adopted in coronary artery clinics, especially for risky population.

The first officially recorded case of severe acute respiratory infection caused by SARS-CoV-2 coronavirus (2019-nCoV) was reported in the People’s Republic of China in late 2019. Since then, the virus has spread rapidly across the planet. On 30 January 2020. The World Health Organization (WHO) designated the outbreak as an emergency and as early as 30 March 2020 it declared the disease a pandemic, named COVID-19. At the beginning of April 2022 there were more than 500 million cases and 6 million deaths according to this organization. The latter figure however immediately raised questions—among doctors and scientists alike—as it has not yet been possible to develop a uniform approach to its recording around the world. Therefore, in this paper, the choice of the excess mortality indicator is justified in its mapping presentation, whose main advantage is that it can be used to represent both the losses from COVID-19 itself and the consequences of the increased burden on public health systems. The visualization of such data using modern geo-information technology is relevant both at present, against the background of the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, and in the future, when dealing with its consequences. The main specificity of the territory under study—Europe (including both countries wholly located in this part of the world and parts of it—including Kazakhstan, Russia and Turkey, as well as Azerbaijan, Armenia, Georgia and Cyprus, geographically located in Asia)—is sufficient similarity of basic demographic indicators of countries with different approaches to pandemic control applied in each of them. This enables us to use maps to highlight whether they have been successful in this area in the most straightforward way. The geo-referenced mapping materials can be used for further, more in-depth analysis and visualization of coronavirus data using cartographic research at the level of individual states and their smaller jurisdictions.

Introduction: Individuals in rural areas live with healthcare disadvantages relating to, for example, access to health institutions, necessary treatments, and healthcare professionals during medical emergencies. The aim of this study was to explore the experiences, beliefs and attitudes of nursing students to identify advantages and disadvantages of health screening in several rural areas in rural Turkey. Methods: Health screening practices with senior nursing students were conducted in six rural areas. A qualitative descriptive study was performed using thematic analysis of open-ended responses to a web-based survey of 34 students aged 18 years and over. This study was conducted in March and April 2020. Results: The practices of nursing students in rural areas included measuring vital signs, body mass index calculation, blood glucose and cholesterol measurement, depression screening, cancer screening and health education. Students undertook various health screening practices in rural health care including colorectal cancer screening, evaluation of scales used in diabetes and depression risk. Characteristics referred to by student nurses as part of public health nursing roles were protector, advocate, supporter, caregiver, coordinator, collaborator, educator, counsellor, researcher, therapist, case manager, leader and care provider. The main themes generated related to student emotions, feedback of screening participants to nursing students, positive nursing characteristics, advantages and disadvantages of doing health screening in rural areas, benefits of working with health professionals to nursing student education, and feedback for nursing educators and researchers. Conclusion: Participants recognised their emotions, and the benefits and advantages of health screening practices, and disadvantages were determined across the themes. Health services should be planned by taking these experiences into account in health screenings to be carried out in rural areas.

Objective: Hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection is a major public health problem and affects large populations all over the world. Serum anti-HCV level is a valuable marker to determine HCV infection. Anti-HCV testing has been recommended for high-risk population. The Center for Disease Control (CDC) and Prevention in the United States proposed a new high-risk population group - adults born between 1945-1965. Under this perspective, we designed a multicentre retrospective study to determine the seropositivity of anti-HCV among adults born between 1945 and 1965 and adults born after 1965 in Turkey. With the data collected, we aimed to determine whether there was a need for anti-HCV testing especially in people born between 1945 and 1965. Methods: We requested data from ten different medical centres in ten different provinces. Each medical centre collected the anti-HCV test results of adult patients for five-year period between 2009 and 2014 from hospital records. Results: A total of 974,449 anti-HCV test results were included in this study. When the seropositivity rates in the two groups of adults were compared, anti-HCV seropositivity rates were higher in nine medical centres out of ten. Anti-HCV seropositivity in adults born between 1945-1965 was significantly higher than in adults born after 1965 (p < 0.05). Conclusions: We determined that the anti-HCV seropositivity rate is significantly higher in adults born between 1945-1965 compared to the younger adults as indicated in the literature. According to data from this study together with the WHO and CDC suggestions, we believe that it is appropriate to offer anti-HCV serology testing for people over 50 years of age since the anti- HCV seroprevalence in this age group is relatively high.

Middle East Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus (MERS-CoV) causes Middle East Respiratory Syndrome (MERS). Since the vast majority of cases (more than 85%) are reported from Saudi Arabia, there is a pandemic potential for pilgrimage due to Hajj or Umrah. It is reported from Turkey that more than 400 thousand people went to Saudi Arabia for umrah and 61 thousand people for Hajj in 2014. In this study it is aimed to investigate the patients who had just returned from Makkah for Umrah and who also applied to the Infectious Disease Clinics at the Hitit University Erol Olcok Training and Research Hospital for having respiratory tract symptoms. Their serologic situations have been determined by ELISA whether there is any risk in terms of performing the Hajj and Umrah, and contracting MERS-CoV. Between January 1st to the 31st of October 2015, 40 people were included in this study, which were admitted to our hospital with upper respiratory tract complaints and had previously been in Saudi Arabia for Umrah within the last 15 days. As a control group, 40 healthy people without any complaints and travel histories to risky areas were selected. Their serum samples were taken and searched by MERS-CoV IgG ELISA (Euroimmun AG, Lübeck, Germany). The results ≤0.8 were considered as negative, ≥1.1 were as positive, 0.8-1.1 were suspected. All suspected and positive results have been revaluated and confirmed. Only two (5%) individuals from the patients’ group were found as positive for the MERS-CoV IgG antibodies, but individuals from the remaining patients’ group and also all control group members were determined as negative. Travels to Saudi Arabia could be a risk for exposure to MERS-CoV. Although there is no evidence, contamination could be realized by anthropologically due to crowds.

Aims: Oral and dental health are important aspects of general health and impact the quality of life and health outcomes. We aimed to assess the level of knowledge and attitudes towards oral and dental health and to examine the relative effect of social-behavioural risk factors on caries and other teeth problems among 7th and 8th grade students in Manisa, Turkey. Methods: The study population consisted of all seventh and eighth graders who started the 2011 school year (n=377). Data were gathered by questionnaires which were carried out before tooth examination. Associations between sociodemographic characteristics, knowledge items, attitudinal factors and number of tooth caries and other tooth problems were studied. The associations were evaluated using mean values and chi square test. Results: Oral health was worse among female gender (p=0.002). As the number of children under care increased in the house, number of tooth filling and tooth loss increased in the students (p=0.001, p=0.021). Education of mothers of students who had worse tooth health was significantly low compared to the others (p=0.029). Among students who had four and more tooth caries and tooth fillings, frequency of dentist visit was lower (p=0.034, p=0.005). Among students who had more tooth caries, the knowledge that consumption of acidic beverages is not good for oral health was less prevalent (p=0.011). Conclusions: Health authorities in region, should strengthen the implementation of oral disease prevention and health promotion programs rather than traditional curative care. Community-oriented education programs for students and their families are crucial for this purpose.

Background: Breast cancer is a type of non-communicable disease characterized by the appear­ance of abnormal cells in the breast. Breast self-examination (BSE) is one method of early detection of breast cancer. Health belief model is a health behavior that can predict women's interest in doing BSE. This study aimed to estimate the effect of the health belief model on the practice of BSE with a meta-analysis. Subjects and Method: This research is a meta-analysis study using PRISMA flowchart guide­lines. The article search process was carried out between 2015-2022 using databases from PubMed, Google Scholar and Scopus. Based on the database, there were 9 articles that met the inclusion criteria. The analysis was carried out using Revman 5.3 software. Results: As many as 9 articles spread across 2 continents, namely Asia and North America. 8 main studies from Asia, 3 from Turkey, 2 from Iraq, 1 from Yemen, 1 from Iran, and 1 from Indo­nesia. One major study from North America, namely Mexico, reviewed in the meta-analysis showed that perceived benefits were strong (aOR= 1.03; 95%CI= 0.96 to 1.11; p= 0.440; I 2 =79%). Conclusion: The perceived benefits were not statistically significant in predicting the practice of BSE in women.

ABSTRACT: Hanging is the most common method of suicide in the world, and many public places offer a means or opportunity to carryout the activity. Of 4,452 death examinations and autopsies, there were 378 (8.5%) suicides and suicide method was hanging in 185 (48.9%)cases. In 20 of these (10.8%), the suspension point was the branch of a tree. The incident location was the garden of the victim’s house in ninecases, the woodlands in seven cases. The suicides were attributed to psychiatric disorders in nine cases, economic problems in six cases, andfamily problems in five cases. It is concluded that hanging on a tree as a suicide method is often committed by males and the underlyingmotive may be different in suicidal hangings on trees occurring at daytime and night. For preventional purposes, the reporting of such suicidesin public places by the media may be restricted by local authorities. KEYWORDS: forensic science, hanging, asphyxia, suicide, death, tree Suicide is one of the most common causes of nondisease-related death, and it is a major public health problem worldwide(1). It is ultimately a deadly violence directed against oneself.As a form of death, it has evoked and evokes a multiplicity ofreactions from the living, ranging from sadness and fascinationto repulsion and condemnation (2). It is largely preventable.Unlike many other health issues, the tools to significantlyreduce the most tragic loss of life by suicide are available (3).The incidence rate of suicide increases daily. Every year, almostone million people die by suicide throughout the world. In2020, it is estimated that one suicidal death on an average every20 seconds with one attempt of suicide every 1–2 sec will occur(4,5).Suicidal behavior can be conceptualized as a complex processthat can range from suicidal ideation, which can be communi-cated through verbal or nonverbal means, to planning of suicide,attempting suicide, and in the worst case, completed suicide,which is the act of taking one’s own life. Suicidal behaviors areinfluenced by interacting biological, genetic, psychological,social, environmental, and situational factors (6).Nearly one-third of all suicides occur in public places. Thepattern of locations is heavily influenced by local geography (7).Indoor and outdoor suicide rates may differ in some regions. Go-ren et al. (8) evaluated suicide in children and adolescents at aprovince in Turkey and reported that 12% of the victims com-mitted suicide outdoors. Nonetheless, in a study conducted in aprovince of the Black Sea region of Turkey, it was reported thatmost of the female suicides (95.7%) were committed at homeand related places (9). Suicidal acts carried out in public placescan be highly traumatic for witnesses (7,10,11). The associationof bridges and high buildings with suicide by jumping is wellknown, but many other public places offer a means for commit-ting the act (12). Some of the world’s most famous structures,such as the Eiffel Tower, the Empire State Building, the SanFrancisco Bay Bridge, the Sydney Harbour Bridge, and thepagoda in Kew Gardens, hold a strong fascination for peopleprone to take their own lives. In fact, these have been called the“deadliest” architectural structures, and, as a result, the pagodain Kew Gardens was closed to the public in the early 1900s.The Eiffel Tower, for example, has lured hundreds of victimsinto committing suicide either off, on, or around it. Most havejumped, but a few have also shot or poisoned themselves in itsimmediate vicinity. Over the years, tower authorities have put upspecial grilles and fences to prevent people from jumping off thetower, but there are still people determined enough to crawlthrough ventilators to find a suitable jumping platform (2). Out-door settings such as roadways, freeways, fields, parks, andcampgrounds were reported as a suicide locale in 10.7% to 34%of the cases (5,13,14).Hanging is the most common method of suicide in the world,because it is inexpensive and easy (15). In any given location,there are numerous materials such as ropes, cords, and fabricfrom which a ligature can be fashioned, as there are severalstructures from which a ligature can be suspended (16). In astudy which compared completed and attempted suicides inJapan, in the completed suicide group, an overwhelming numberof suicide completers used hanging as the suicide method.Because the method of suicide is one of the important factorsdividing suicides into completed and attempted, it was concluded

SARS-CoV-2 coronavirus disease 19 (COVID-19), which was detected in December 2019, whose first cases were observed in Turkey on 11th March 2020, and which was declared a pandemic by the World Health Organization on the same day, has become a public health problem worldwide and has required the adaptation of medical practices to the current situation. In the current paper, we present our experience and practices regarding thoracic surgery from the largest pandemic hospital in Europe over the 1-year period of the pandemic.Patients who were operated by our thoracic surgery clinic in the largest pandemic hospital in Europe between March 2020 and March 2021 in the COVID-19 pandemic in our country and in the world were evaluated retrospectively.Eighty-five patients were operated on during the 1-year pandemic, of which 54 (63.5%) were men and 31 (36.5%) were women. The mean patient age was 47.7. Morbidity rate was 12%. The average number of PCR tests performed in the preoperative period for COVID-19 disease was 1.6. Sixteen patients had a history of COVID-19 before surgery. COVID-19 was not seen in any patient in our clinic during the postoperative period. Only one patient died out of those who underwent surgery. That patient died due to multiorgan failure.Thoracic surgery has one of the highest risks due to direct contact with the lungs, especially in terms of surgery and the postoperative period. We consider that this risk will be minimized by taking measures during all processes. Moreover, we think that surgical treatments should be delayed as little as possible due to the special status of oncology patients. In addition, considering that if all these rules are followed in the COVID-19 pandemic and in other types of pandemics that may occur in the future, there will be no delay or insufficiency in the treatment of patients and healthcare professionals will be able to work safely.

<sec> <title>BACKGROUND</title> Obesity in women is one of the leading public health problems globally. Peer support interventions have been effective in many areas of health promotion, and they have also been successful in obesity prevention and treatment. </sec> <sec> <title>OBJECTIVE</title> The purpose of this research was to reduce the Body Mass Index, fat ratio, and fat amount of the targeted women through the support of their peers (leading women) by regulating nutrition and improving physical activity in a rural community. </sec> <sec> <title>METHODS</title> This is a quasi-experimental obesity peer-led intervention study called the Leading Woman Model. At baseline, the obesity prevalence was found to be 60.5% among women aged 18–64 (n = 655) living in a rural district of Turkey. Of the participants (n = 137), 86.9% completed the 3rd month and 78.1% the 6th month of the intervention. Leading women (n = 11) were recruited from the community to supervise and monitor their own target groups of women during the intervention, which included supervised balanced nutrition and regular physical activity. </sec> <sec> <title>RESULTS</title> The mean age of the target intervention group was 42.8 ± 12.2. Significant improvements were observed in the body weight of the participating in the 3rd (-1.15 ± 2.51 kg) and 6th month (-1.13 ± 4.15 kg) of the intervention (p &lt;0.05). Of the women, 10.9% lost at least 5% of their weight by the 3rd month and 13.1% by the 6th month of intervention, and 8.4% and 11.2% of the women achieved a better BMI category in the 3rd and 6th month of intervention, respectively. </sec> <sec> <title>CONCLUSIONS</title> Community-based obesity interventions are challenging but much more promising than those based at a facility. We suggest the Leading Women Model for community-based obesity interventions in women. </sec>

Abstract Background Overweight and obesity have become an epidemic and a significant public health challenge. Apart from genetics, every obesogenic factor is modifiable and therefore, it is personal behaviors that play a dominant role in obesity prevention and management. Also, in a current climate emergency, each individual's behavior including food preferences and nutrition needs to be viewed from the global perspective. Previously, we examined Erickson solution-focused health coaching as a behavioral intervention supporting the adherence to healthy nutrition and exercise. Currently, we incorporated the 'ecology' aspect to our model. By applying Erickson ecology health coaching worldwide, we aim to support sustainable nutrition resulting in obesity prevention and management. To that effect, we established the Erickson Coaching for Health World Game (ECOHEALTH WG) project. Methods The ECOHEALTH WG involves research activities, health coach training, health education including ecological nutrition, and individual or group health coaching. Results Our research investigation assessed the impact of Erickson health coaching on the adherence to sustainable nutrition, anthropometry and body composition in overweight and obese persons with sleep apnea. The mean weight loss was 5.2±1.0% and 77% of participants achieved a target reduction of &amp;gt; 3%, in association with the sustained shift to plant-based food preferences. Moreover, health coach training was conducted in Austria, China, Slovakia, and Turkey. In the coming months, we project conducting health coach training in multiple countries around the Globe. Conclusions The ECOHEALTH WG project represents a unique opportunity to assist people to adhere to sustainable nutrition worldwide, with beneficial effects on the environment. A partnership between health coaches and healthcare providers has major potential to support healthy food choices and sustainable nutrition worldwide.

Social and economic policies of governments directly influence the health of the people. These policies, in turn, are determined by the national and foreign controllers of power. Economic and social factors in Turkey during the late 1970s led to a new modelling of the economic system, from a Keynesian to a market-oriented and monetarist model. The state mechanism was also altered to form a centralized. authoritarian regime in order to enforce the requirements of the economy.As a result, the middle class diminished in size, inequalities in income distribution increased, unemployment climbed, the purchasing power of wage earners decreased, government spending for education and health was cut and new oppressive laws were enacted. Health services were already urban-biased and hospital-oriented, but new free-market measures were instituted which promoted private health institutions and attempted to transform state-owned and financed hospitals into self-supporting, independent business enterprises. The only school of public health was closed down; preventive medicine expenditures were lowered while hospital rates and drug prices were increased.All these changes affected the health status of the population. Mortality and morbidity inequalities had already existed between the rich and the poor, men and women, urban and rural settlements, educated and illiterate, West and East, always in favour of the former. However, the new policies exacerbated the inequalities. Infectious diseases including tuberculosis increased, nutrition worsened, occupational diseases and work accidents rose to be the highest in Europe.The power-holding minority is not interested in the health of populations and is committed to pursue its social and economic policies. Ad hoc research, especially cross-sectional mortality studies repeated at regular intervals can provide data on the most vulnerable groups as no other valid information exists. There is little hope of these data being used for intervention unless democratic changes take place.

Google Trends is a Google Labs product which provide insights into broad search patterns. In other words, Google Trends allows you to see what the world is searching for. It analyzes Google web searches to compute how many searches have been done for a specific term over the time. It shows the news reference volume & search reference volume graphs as well as the top cities, regions and languages searching a specific term. Using Google Trends, we studied the people's patterns and habits in searching the terms Bioinformatics, Health Informatics & Medical Informatics. The results show that the users search Bioinformatics more than the other two terms. The most searches for Bioinformatics were done from India, Kenya, Bangladesh, Singapore & Pakistan. Checking the most frequent languages used for these searches, we determined top 5 languages as Hindi, Korean, Greek, English and Thai which once again confirmed the role of India in this field. Doing the same process for Health Informatics as the other keyword, we identified Ireland, United Kingdom, New Zealand, Australia and Canada as the top countries in searching this term; London Colney, Halifax, Dublin, Sydney and London as the top cities; and English, Chinese, Icelandic, Hindi and Czech as the most frequent languages. Considering Medical Informatics, the most searches have done from Greece, Iran, India, Taiwan and Philippines. The overall results suggest that Bioinformatics are more searched than Health Informatics and Medical Informatics. Different countries are interested in different fields of these terms. The dominant search term is Bioinformatics and the dominant country in searching this term is India. UK, New Zealand and Australia are more interested in Health Informatics while, Iran and Turkey are considerable in searching the term Medical Informatics. The search patterns of cities may different form the related countries.

Abstract Background Cigarette pack design plays a crucial role in attracting customers, especially when other marketing methods are limited by policy. University students who engage in casual smoking take the risk of developing an addiction. The objective of this study was to assess the effects of plain packaging (PP) and graphic health warnings (GHWs) on cigarette packages on three outcome variables (negative affect, avoidant responses, and intentions to quit) among ever-smoker university students in Ankara, Turkey, where youth smoking prevalence is high. Methods An online survey-based experiment was used to collect data. The respondents were randomly assigned to one of the five conditions that contained images of cigarette packs with specific design elements. Regression analyses ( n = 623) were used to compare across conditions and to estimate the effects of combined warnings (versus text-only warnings), stronger GHWs (versus old GHWs), and PP (versus branded packages) on the outcome variables, accounting for potential confounders. Results Stronger GHWs generated more negative affect (0.31 points out of 5, p = 0.010) and avoidant responses (0.42 points out of 5, p = 0.002) than old warnings (when brand logos were visible). Plain packages generated more negative affect (0.48 points out of 5, p &lt; 0.001) and avoidant responses (0.46 points out of 5, p = 0.001) than branded packages (with old warnings). Disentangling the effects of PP and new GHWs revealed that neither had individual differential effect on intentions to quit within 6 months. Conclusions Although no differential effect of PP or harsher GHWs was found on intentions to quit when respondents were exposed to images on screen, both design elements were found to be effective in generating negative affect and avoidant responses. More work is needed to design effective tobacco control measures among youth during critical years of tertiary education.

Objective: Hypertension is an important public health problem with high morbidity and mortality and seen in approximately 1 in 3 people all over the world. Hypertension can cause direct or indirect labor losses, but despite this, awareness in the society remains at low levels. This research was conducted to examine the awareness of hypertension in newly graduated medical school students.&#x0D; &#x0D; Methods: There search is across-sectional descriptive study. The population of the study consisted of 55 students studying in the last year of XXX University Faculty of Medicine. For the study, a questionnaire consisting of 26 questions was sent to the students electronically (Google forms), which was prepared by there searcher and questioned the presence of hypertension risk factors in the participants, the knowledge and attitudes of the participants about the diagnosis and treatment of hypertension.&#x0D; &#x0D; Results: 96,3% (n=53) of 55 people were reached. 43.4% (n=23) of the participants were female and 56.6% (n=30) were male. When the risk factors in the Turkish Hypertension Consensus Report were questioned among the participants, it was seen that the most common risk factor was having a stressful personality with 66% (n=35). 34% (n=18) of the participants had not had their blood pressure measured in the last 6 months. Only 3.8% (n=2) stated that they could completely manage a hypertension patient with their current knowledge. It was seen that the average of correct answers given by the participants to 6 information questions about hypertension was 3.55±1.21.&#x0D; Conclusion: Although the theoretical knowledge of the participants is partially sufficient, it is a situation that should be questioned well what makes them think that they cannot follow up hypertension patients. This may be due to the fact that medical faculties do not give as much importance to practical education as theoretical courses. More emphasis should be placed on the follow-up of common diseases such as hypertension in medical education, and students should be trained on routine practical approaches.

Background: Tobacco use is one of the major causes of premature death worldwide. The purpose of the present study is to examine which of the known evidence-based control measures actually work, and indentify their preventive or risky effects, in order to determine the various risk areas for any daily tobacco use in Europe. This is a cross-sectional geo-epidemiological study using secondary database data from the World Health Organization. Methods: Data from 2009 were used for all European countries. Daily smoking of any tobacco product (DSTP) and 12 other factors referring to tobacco control, comprise the main under study parameters. The final sample consisted of subjects from 45 European countries. First, the data management was fulfilled. Then, spatial statistics were performed in Arcmap 10 (GIS). Moran’s I and OLS spatial regression model were applied for the detection of spatial correlations and the high risk areas. Results: High spatial heterogeneity was demonstrated through the DSTP distribution. Greece and Austria have the highest rates (38-49%), Bulgaria, Albania, Bosnia Herzegovina, and Russia follow with 30-37%. Three out of the twelve factors examined were found to be random. The rest of them were used in the regression model, highlighting the high risk areas. Greece presented the highest risk (Exp B= 2.9; 95% CI= 2.183-3.326), Bulgaria, Turkey, Serbia and other countries followed (Exp B= 2.7; 95% CI= 1.937-3.013), whereas Finland, Norway and UK proved to be of no present risk (Exp B= 0.76; 95% CI= 0.258-0.936). Conclusions: Geo-epidemiology of tobacco usage monitors the phenomenon’s dynamics, effectively. It offers an insight in applying measures, co-examining for the first time, the effects of twelve measures of tobacco control as possible preventive or risk factors.

<sec> <title>BACKGROUND</title> Health communication has become more critical than ever during the COVID-19 pandemic. Recently, many officials and government agencies have made public information through this channel, which has made Twitter an alternative reliable media organ. </sec> <sec> <title>OBJECTIVE</title> The present study focuses on the posts made on the official Twitter account of the Turkish Ministry of Health on the communication process during the COVID-19 pandemic. </sec> <sec> <title>METHODS</title> In this qualitative study, a total of 1,349 unique COVID-19-related tweets posted between 1 March and 31 December 2020 were identified. The tweets were evaluated using the content analysis approach by two investigators. </sec> <sec> <title>RESULTS</title> Six primary themes emerged regarding the content of the messages: providing information, warning to the community, motivating people and morale-boosting, improving cooperation, scientific approach, and advice to the community. It was observed that the incidence of cases and the frequency of the tweets about motivating people and providing information themes were parallel. In addition, the warning to community tweets peaked towards the middle of the pandemic (August 2020), and then the dose of posts on this subject decreased. In addition, while the frequency of warning to community tweets towards the middle of the pandemic increased, then the dose of posts on this topic decreased. </sec> <sec> <title>CONCLUSIONS</title> This study has shown that the Ministry of Health uses Twitter frequently and effectively to reach the public more easily in the fight against the pandemic. In the future waves of COVID-19 or other pandemics, the planned and regular production of these "tweets" by health professionals will provide a more transparent crisis management opportunity by taking the fear of the public related to the pandemic. This study can provide insights to health officials and government agencies for crisis communication publicizing health information via social media. </sec>

• The issue of cigarette smuggling is now high on the agenda of governments and international organizations. It has been estimated that a third of internationally exported cigarettes are lost to smuggling. Total revenue lost by governments due to cigarette smuggling is estimated at US$ 25– 30 000 million annually. • Studies of the impact of smuggling show that when smuggled cigarettes account for a high percentage of the total sold, the average price for all cigarettes, taxed and untaxed, will fall, increasing sales of cigarettes overall. • The cigarette companies often blame organized crime for the massive amount of cigarette smuggling worldwide, but much of the organized criminal smuggling that accounts for the vast majority of cigarette smuggling worldwide has occurred with the knowledge of the major cigarette companies themselves, and would not occur without the cigarette companies’ compliance. • In the Middle East, the two main target markets for international tobacco companies are the Islamic Republic of Iran and Iraq. Both the Islamic Republic of Iran and Iraq represent huge possibilities for international cigarette companies. Indeed, tobacco trade journals, internal tobacco industry documents and documents filed in legal actions make the importance placed on both countries by the entire tobacco industry very clear. • According to trade journals, Cyprus is an important distribution point for American cigarettes going to the Islamic Republic of Iran through traders in Oman. At the same time, some of these cigarettes are sold to traders in Turkey who take them into Iraq. Beirut’s imported cigarettes are distributed to traders and merchants in various countries in the Middle East and North Africa. It appears that the major customers for cigarettes distributed from Lebanon are the Islamic Republic of Iran and Iraq. From Beirut to Dubai or Oman and then on to the Islamic Republic of Iran is the path of some of the American cigarettes destined for Lebanon. Trucks now carry cargo through the Syrian Arab Republic to reach the open-air markets in Iraq. • In their legal action against several international tobacco companies, the European Union (EU) filed in January 2002 documents on cigarette smuggling into Iraq showing that since the early

Abstract Background In older age, taking medication at the desired level contributes to the health and well-being, and therefore, constitutes an essential part of the effectiveness of treatment and ultimately desired public health impact and reduced healthcare budgets. However, it is known that medication compliance among older persons is frequently not at a desired level. Therefore, in this study, it was aimed to increase medication compliance through an educational intervention for patients aged 60 and over, who applied to two healthcare facilities in Ankara, Turkey. Methods This intervention study was implemented in two public health hospitals between March and June 2019. 315 people aged 60 and over participated in the study. The intervention tool was the “teach-back” method. SPSS program was used for data entry and analysis. P value less than 0.05 was indicated for statistical significance. Results Mean age of the participants was found to be 70.16±7.9 for the control group and 70.27±7.4 for the intervention group. In the intervention group, a statistically significant increase was found in the capacity of learning the long-term benefits of drugs, their side effects and storage conditions, and knowing when the drugs shouldn't be taken, and repeating information about the drugs used (p = 0.000). Conclusions This study has revealed that medication compliance among older individuals can be increased with an appropriate communication and training method in healthcare settings. Time allocated by health workers in this regard has a potential to respond to the compliance-related needs. With the “Teach-back” method utilized in the interactions between older patients and health workers, it is possible to attain meaningful, large-scale and cost-effective public health outcomes that contribute to the clinical benefits of treatments and the effectiveness of health systems. Key messages Older people are open to receive information on the actual health needs. A well-structured interaction between healthcare workers and patients involving “teach-back” method contributes to medication compliance among the elderly.

Background Hypertension (HT) is a controllable and preventable public health problem that is a risk factor for many serious diseases, especially cardiovascular diseases. Hypertension, which can be silent and lethal, can not be diagnosed in many people. HT constitutes a significant part of the daily practice of the primary care physician. Today, the Family Medicine is a medical discipline constitutes the first level of the health system in Turkey. Aim In our study, the effectiveness of family medicine practice in the diagnosis of arterial hypertension was investigated. Material and Method We retrospectively reviewed the data of the patients aged 18 years and older who had access to their data in our family medicine department between 2017-2018. A total of seven questions, including personal information (age, gender and education level) and disease identification information (how many years were diagnosed with hypertension, baseline symptom, where and how the diagnosis of hypertension was first established) were retrospectively reviewed from the Family Medicine Information System. Results A total of 286 patients, 178 female and 108 male were detected. 9% of the participants were illiterate while 94.1% were literate . 59.8% of the illiterate patients were in primary education, 10.5% in high school and 16.8% in graduate education. 7.7% of the participants were diagnosed in the family medicine polyclinic, and the remaining 92.3% were diagnosed in secondary health care facilities and other places except family medicine. According to education level, 7.7% were diagnosed in family medicine and 92.3% were diagnosed in second-level health facilities and elsewhere except family medicine. Conclusion In our study; patients with arterial hypertension were diagnosed more frequently in secondary health care institutions regardless of their education level. Although the rate of diagnosis of arterial hypertension was increased from 1.5% to 16.3% in primary care after starting the practice of family medicine in Konya, we believe that the role of family medicine practice on the diagnosis of arterial hypertension should be increased even more.

Coronavirus disease 2019 is a respiratory sickness that may spread between persons. It is caused by a novel coronavirus that produces an outbreak in Wuhan, China and spread all over the world to become a pandemic. From the appearance of the first case of the new coronavirus in Morocco, Moroccan authorities has spared no effort to promote the health of Moroccans, ahead of that of the country’s economy. On 22 January 2021, 2 million doses, of AstraZeneca COVID-19 vaccine were delivered to Morocco, with a view to vaccinating 1 million Moroccans in a first phase. On 28 January, the campaign started and the King of Morocco was the 1st Moroccan to be vaccinated against the coronavirus. On 27 February 2021, Morocco has received 1 million doses from the Chinese laboratory Sinopharm and 6 million doses of the AstraZeneca vaccine allowing Morocco to vaccinate several audiences and the general public over the age of 60, and the most vulnerable. Thereafter, the COVID-19 vaccine doses administered per 100 people in 31 March 2021 were 115.89 in Israel, 84.01 in the United Arab Emirates, 52.53 in the United Kingdom, 44.93 in the United States, 45.04 in Bahrain, 21.66 in Morocco, 16.44 in Germany, 8.32 in China, 4.72 in India, and 0.44 in South Africa. Also, the population fully vaccinated against COVID-19 in 01 April 2021 were 55.51% in Israel, 22.12% in the United Arab Emirates, 20.08% in Chile, 16.77% in USA, 15.25% in Serbia, 15.14%in Bahrain, 10.21% in Morocco, 8.94% in Hungary, 8.23% in Turkey, 7.29% in UK, 3.07% in Russia, 2.39% in Brazil, 1.70% in Uruguay, 0.70% in India, and 0.45% in South Africa. This allows Morocco to figure in the top 10 countries fully vaccinated against COVID-19 despite the lack of resources and belonging to developing countries. Finally, our study gives an example to other countries to benefit from the Moroccan experience. Nevertheless, vaccination is only one element of a comprehensive COVID-19 strategy, it must be accompanied by measures to reduce circulating infection and keep them low.

Abstract Background Cancer remains among the leading causes of death worldwide and the COVID-19 pandemic had a negative impact on its diagnosis and treatment. National Cancer Control Programmes (NCCPs) are key documents in the field of cancer control. As they are directed at reducing cancer morbidity, mortality, and improvement of the quality of life of cancer patients, they can make a significant contribution in tackling the challenges posed by cancer in Europe. The aim of the present study, which is unique of its kind, was to evaluate the situation regarding the presence of NCCPs in Europe in 2016, as well as to analyse the presence and implementation status of the key elements of NCCPs that European Guide for Quality National Cancer Control Programmes (Guide) recommends. Methods In the frame of the Cancer Control Joint Action a policy survey was carried out through 35 countries: EU member states, Iceland, Montenegro, Norway and Turkey, focusing on inclusion of the chapters from the Guide, participation of stakeholders, preparation, implementation and dissemination. Results Thirty countries responded and 28 out of those had a NCCP or a similar cancer document. NCCPs were mostly single documents; 9 documents were defined as programmes, 8 as plans and 6 as strategies. The terminology was mixed in 5 countries. NCCPs were managed by the Ministries of Health and communicated to the public via websites and/or press. Drafting of NCCPs was mostly done through discussions, consensus meetings and negotiations. Only 10 countries included all elements suggested in the Guide in their NCCPs. Conclusions The results of the survey showed that there are still countries without a NCCP. Regarding the content of NCCPs and other cancer documents the results indicated that the quality of the documents should be improved by covering all key elements suggested in the Guide and adding other innovative approaches. Key messages • Instruments for more efficient cancer management are needed; they should encompass the entire pathway of cancer control from health promotion, to survivorship and supportive care. • The ongoing and quickly developing activities on NCCPs in Europe should be monitored regularly.

Abstract Background The rapid expansion of internet and social media use has meant that both useful and potentially harmful health information can spread rapidly. Groups experiencing barriers to health systems may be more reliant on social media as a source of health information. We did a systematic review to determine the extent and nature of social media use in migrant and ethnic minority communities for COVID-19 information, and implications for preventative health measures including vaccination intent and uptake. Methods We reviewed published and grey literature following PRISMA guidelines (PROSPERO registered CRD42021259190). Global research was included that reported on the use of social media by migrants and/or ethnic minority groups in relation to COVID-19. Results 1849 unique records were screened, and 21 data sources included in our analysis involving studies from the UK, US, China, Jordan, Qatar, and Turkey. We found evidence of consistent use of a range of social media platforms for COVID-19 information in some migrant and ethnic minority populations (including WeChat, Facebook, WhatsApp, Instagram, Twitter, YouTube), which may stem from difficulty in accessing COVID-19 information in their native languages or from trusted sources. There were positive and negative associations with social media use reported, with some evidence suggesting circulating misinformation and social media use may be associated with lower participation in preventative health measures, including vaccine intent and uptake, findings of which are likely relevant to multiple population groups. Conclusions Urgent actions and further research are now needed to better understand the use of social media platforms for accessing health information by groups who may be marginalised from health systems, effective approaches to tackling circulating misinformation, and to seize on opportunities to make better use of social media platforms to support public health communication.

Liver cancer is the 6th most common cancer and 3rdcause of cancer death, but few countries have developed comprehensive liver cancer control (CLCC) programs. While CLCC is hindered by a complex etiology and late diagnosis, a relative paucity of advocacy and public awareness for this condition remains a significant barrier. We examined the impact that advocacy had on that country's priorities for liver cancer control - hypothesizing that a greater capacity for advocacy and public awareness will be positively correlated the value that advocacy and public awareness will have in CLCC. Data were derived from a broader study of needs and priorities for CLCC in 12 countries in Europe and Asia-Pacific. Competence for liver cancer advocacy and public awareness was estimated as part of a subjective needs assessment and priorities were assessed using conjoint analysis. The relationship between normalized competence and priorities were estimated using OLS. Of the 579 potential respondents identified, 240 respondents were equally recruited from Australia, China, France, Germany, Italy, Japan, South Korea, Spain, Taiwan, Thailand, Turkey, and USA completed the survey (completion rate: 42%). Overall competence for liver advocacy and public awareness was low (p<0.001), but it was consider a priority for CLCC (p<0.001). We identified positive relationship between the degree of advocacy and public awareness and how advocacy and awareness was prioritized (p=0.05). Despite the overall low capacity for advocacy and public awareness, we confirm our hypothesis that greater capacity for liver cancer advocacy is positively correlated with the priority placed on advocacy and public awareness – an opposite result as compared to other CLCC strategies. This catch-22 situation – where liver cancer advocacy may only become a priority once it is established – implies a role for international collaboration to promote advocacy and public awareness for this burdensome disease.

Background: Cardiovascular diseases (CVD) are the cause of 17 million deaths a year worldwide, of which 25% are sudden cardiac deaths (SCD). In Europe cardiovascular diseases (CVD) remains a leading cause of death in Europe accounting for 3.9 million deaths each year. Even with well-known risk factors and the current standards of health care, improvement of health and quality of life of CVD patients are still remains one of the biggest public health challenges we must overcome. Objective: The aim of this study was to analize of current strategic documents and relevant facts of WHO and other appropriate institutions regarding CVDs prevention and control for potentially use in Bosnia and Herzegovina (B &amp; H). Methods: Authors made a narrative review to provide a brief overview of the recent and relevant documents of good practice in prevention, diagnostic and therapeutic approaches of cardiovascular diseases that should be consider as milestones for the health authorities in the Federation of B &amp; H. Results and Discussion: Bosnia and Herzegovina is among the countries with a high risk of CVD together with Albania, Croatia, Czech Republic, Estonia, Hungary, Kazakhstan, Poland, Slovakia, and Turkey. The main public health challenge in Bosnia and Herzegovina is reducing noncommunicable diseases (NCDs): heart disease, stroke, cancer, diabetes and chronic respiratory disease. NCDs are estimated to account for 80% of the country’s annual deaths, and addressing them is the foremost public health priority in the country. Cardiovascular diseases still represent a worldwide public health problem, with some new dimensions caused by challenges caused through pandemic of COVID-19. The well-known cardiovascular risk factors require new and more efficient public health approaches to the prevention and control. Conclusion: Due to the recently developed cardiovascular guidelines that were made by the European Society of Cardiology and World Heart Federation, key priority for health authorities should be is to update the existing CVD guidelines in the Federation of BiH in accordance with the international good practice to support healthcare professionals in their efforts to reduce the burden of cardiovascular disease in both individual patients, as well as at a population level..

I 2006, New York City donated $125 million towards ending the global tobacco epidemic. The timing of this extraordinary donation was appropriate; tobacco now kills nearly 5 million people a year or 14 000 every day. Tobacco use accounts for more than one in 10 adult deaths, approximately 70% of which now occur in developing countries. A total of 145 nations have now ratified the Framework Convention for Tobacco Control (FCTC) and the success of the FCTC needs to be assured. Even as the majority of nations in the world ratified the FCTC and thereby committed to implementing its provisions, their capacity to do so is often inadequate. To date, the global tobacco control movement has not had a presence in all countries and many nations that ratified the FCTC lack the capacity to move forward. A failure to do so, particularly in the face of likely opposition from the multinational tobacco companies, would be a potentially disastrous outcome of the FCTC process. Consequently, the funding of the new Bloomberg Initiative was at a critical moment, and responsive to this global need. The core objective of the Initiative is to reverse the global epidemic of tobacco use by enhancing tobacco control and capacity for tobacco control throughout the world’s low and middle income countries. A special emphasis is being placed on five developing countries, where more than half of the world’s smokers live: China, India, Indonesia, Russia, and Bangladesh. The Initiative will also support tobacco control in Brazil, Egypt, Mexico, Pakistan, Philippines, Poland, Thailand, Turkey, Ukraine, and Vietnam, as well as other countries with a high burden of tobacco use and high potential for successful change.

Pharmaceutical care services (PCs) have evolved significantly over the last few decades, with a greater focus on patient's safety and proven effectiveness in a wide range of contexts. Many of the evidence supporting this technique comes from the United States, the evaluation and adoption of (PCs) which differ greatly across the globe.The goal of this study was to identify and assess the efficacy of pharmaceutical care services in various pharmaceutical aspects throughout seventeen Middle Eastern nations.The Arkesy and O'Malley technique was used to conduct a scoping review. It was conducted using PubMed/Medline, Scopus, Cochrane Library, Springer Link, Clinical Trials, and Web of Science etc. The Van Tulder Scale was utilized in randomized trials research, whereas the dawn and black checklists were used in non-randomized trials research. A descriptive and numerical analysis of selected research was done. The scope of eligible PCs, pharmaceutical implementers, study outcomes, and quality were all identified by a thematic review of research.There were about 431,753 citations found in this study, and 129 publications were found to be eligible for inclusion after analysing more than 271 full-text papers. The study design was varied, with 43 (33.3%) RCTs and 86 (66.7%) n-RCTs. Thirty-three (25.6%) of the studies were published in 2020. Jordan, Saudi Arabia, and Turkey were home to the majority of the studies (25.6%, 16.3%, and 11.6%) respectively. Thirty-seven studies (19.7%) were concerned with resolving drug related problems (DRPs), whereas 27 (14.4%) were concerned with increasing quality of life (QOL) and 23 (12.2%) with improving drug adherence. Additionally, the research revealed that the average ratings of the activities provided to patients improved every year.Studies in the Middle East continue to provide evidence supporting the positive impact of pharmaceutical care services on both hard and soft outcomes measured in most studies. Yet there was rare focus on the value of the implemented services. Thus, rigorous evaluation of the economic impact of implemented pharmaceutical care services in the Middle East and assessment of their sustainability is must.

Abstract Background Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is one of the most important global public health issues and training of healthcare professionals and the public needs to be an integral part of all AMR efforts. In 2015, four out of six countries with the highest antibiotic consumption rate in the world were low and middle-income countries, where Turkey was reported as the country with the highest consumption. Methods This paper aims to present a new undergraduate course entitled “Rational use of antibiotics”, specifically designed for pharmacy technician students to increase their awareness on AMR and to equip them with knowledge and skills in promoting rational antibiotic use. The curriculum update was part of a larger international project, supported by the Erasmus+ KA2 Strategic Partnership Program (Project no: 2015-1-TR01-KA204-022393). Results Pharmacy technicians are among the most critical health professionals regarding rational antibiotic use because they can play a significant role in educating potential antibiotic users and have a multiplier effect in disseminating evidence-based knowledge. The 16-week long undergraduate course was designed by pharmacy and public health faculty with a multidisciplinary approach, focusing on topics such as epidemiology and control of communicable diseases, antibiotics, AMR and its public health consequences, legal regulations and medical practice regarding rational antibiotic use, as well as principles and methods of health promotion and health education. Conclusions Quantitative and qualitative evaluation of the newly introduced undergraduate course on the rational use of antibiotics showed promising results, which indicate that designing specific courses for health professions students to combat AMR can be more widely practiced in countries with high antibiotic consumption. Public health academics can take a leading role and responsibility in the design of such multidisciplinary courses for undergraduate programs in health care. Key messages Specific courses on rational use of antibiotics can be effective in changing knowledge, attitude, and behaviors of healthcare professionals, and consecutively the general public in combatting AMR. Public health academics can take a leading role and responsibility in design of such multidisciplinary courses for undergraduate programs in health care.

Background: B814, now’s called Coronavirus first identified by Tyrrell and Bynoe in 1965 from the respiratory tract (embryonic tracheal) of an adult and later on during working on National Institutes of Health Robert Chanock used the term “OC” for same virus strain. After several years researchers reported that coronaviruses were caused disease in rats, mice, chickens, turkeys, calves, dogs, cats, rabbits etc. after effecting the enormous variety of animal, in year 2002-2003 it caused new respiratory disease named severe acute respiratory syndrome, (SARS) in southern China. Objective: The main objective of this article is to compare the status of various previous pandemics (i.e., SARS, MERS) with the current COVID-19 pandemic in terms of the life cycle, diagnosis process and prevention. Results: On 31st December 2019, the World Health Organization (WHO) office in China received information regarding pneumonia cases of unknown etiology from the Wuhan district in central China. Subsequently, this new disease spread to China, and from there, to the rest of the world. By the end of March 2020, more than 2 million cases were confirmed of this new disease, with over 70000 deaths worldwide. After some time, researchers have identified that this new disease is caused by a novel beta- Coronavirus (virus SARS-CoV-2) and the new disease was named COVID-19. Since then, the Ministry of Health of various countries and WHO have been fighting this health emergency, which has not only affected public health, but also affected various economic sectors. Conclusion: The current outbreak SARS-CoV-2 phylogenetically resembled to Bat SARS, which was previously identified in year 2002 and 2012 having low mortality rate than MERS and SARS. However, SARS-CoV-2 and MERS having high virological similarity but both use different receptors to take entry in to the host cell via ACE-2 and DPP-4 respectively. Unfortunately, currently there is no approved treatment available worldwide. Currently, we can hope that together we will recover from this public health emergency very soon.

Abstract Background While some of the health advice is arousing interest in large audiences, others are neglected. It is known that the presentation of health contents affects their adoption. However, there are not enough studies on popular health books as a medium. The aim of the study is to find out how popular health books are presented to arouse interest in health advice. Methods Promotional descriptions of books may reveal the prominent characteristics of the presentation of health advice and sales of the books may be a proxy of public interest. Public data of 5320 books that are listed in the health category collected from the most popular online bookstore in Turkey (Alexa rank=109) via a web mining program which is developed for this study. A qualitative coding scheme is created after familiarisation with data. Two researchers independently coded promotional descriptions of best selling 95 books that appeared to constitute the 50.1% of all 780,617 sales in health category by February 2020. Results The 95 best selling health books have been written by 61 different authors. They were found to be mostly about advice on nutrition/ diet (33.7%), weight loss (16.8%) and traditional medicine (14.9%) with a substantial intercoder agreement (κ = 0.756). A common narrative discovered in data which usually contains the number of following components: a claim of a paradigm shift, a saviour, a path to salvation, the evil, believers and non-believers and their aftermath, a single responsible for most health problems and an easy single solution for them. Conclusions Best selling health books are presented in a way that its health advice were ideologies or some kind of belief systems. Even it is arguable to recommend this approach for practice, our findings may help to address contemporary challenges in health communication such as epidemics of disinformation. Further studies may consider to analyze the data from a variety of sources and also compare books from different categories. Key messages How the health books are presented may affect how much interest their advice can arouse. Best selling health books found to be using a narrative that present health advice like they were ideologies.

Abstract Background Promotion of and support for breastfeeding is essential for public health, to improve nutrition globally and save the lives of over 800,000 children annually. Since its launch in 1991, the Baby-Friendly Hospital Initiative (BFHI) has been implemented in 150 countries, to promote the ‘ten steps to successful breastfeeding', with the Baby-Friendly Community Initiative (BFCI), arising from the 10th step. Aim To synthesise evidence about BFHI and BFCI implementation in European countries. Methods This scoping review was conducted according to the Joanna Briggs Institute methodology for scoping reviews. Data were charted by country, study design, setting, study population, BFHI steps, study aim and objectives, intervention, results, barriers and enablers to implementation, evidence gaps, and recommendations. Qualitative and quantitative descriptive analyses were undertaken. Results A total of 278 articles were included in the review, of which 60 studies covered the implementation of the BFHI or BFCI in 18 European countries. Most studies were found from the UK (n = 11) Italy (n = 9) and Switzerland, Spain and Turkey (n = 6 each). Most were hospital-only based (n = 48) and most covered all ten steps of the BFHI (n = 44) and fewer BFCI (n = 4). Studies were carried out with health workers (n = 17), mothers (n = 34) and policy makers. Most studies were quantitative (n = 39) with many others designs used. Our charting of results highlights that effective implementation required political commitment, legislative and regulatory underpinning; support at organisational level; ongoing multi-professional leadership, education, training and teamwork, and effective education for women. Conclusions While contextual country-level factors are seen, there are clear patterns underpinning successful BFHI/ BFCI implementation, which can guide effective implementation. Funded by the Irish Research Council and Department of Foreign Affairs Ireland, grant number: COALESCE/2019/89 Key messages • Strong political and professional leadership is required to support the effective implementation of public health initiatives to support breastfeeding. • Ongoing, effective multi-professional education and training is required to support breastfeeding.

Abstract Background The lack of public bariatric surgical services in Northern Ireland has favoured the growth of bariatric tourism. This retrospective study aimed to analyse the data extracted from the records of bariatric patients who presented with complications to Belfast Health and Social Care Trust following their surgery abroad and investigate the costs associated with managing these complications. It also aimed to explore other factors, such as emotional trauma, that may be associated with bariatric tourism. Methods This was a retrospective study including all patients, who had their bariatric procedure abroad, presenting acutely to our hospital between August 2016 and February 2023. Data were collected from hospital records and included demographic characteristics, type of surgery, nature of complications, and costs associated with managing these complications. Descriptive statistics were used to analyse the data. Results 42 patients included in the study. Majority were female (n=35, 83.3%) with a mean age of 46.6 years. Sleeve gastrectomy was the most common surgery (n=22,52.3%), followed by AGB (n=11,26.1%), Gastric bypass (n=6,14.2%) and Gastric balloon (3,7.1%). Operations were performed in 7 countries, majority were done in Turkey (n= 22). The most common complication was leak (n=14), followed by band erosion (n=7) and nutritional failure (n=7). The total cost was estimated to be (£737,126), which includes hospital-stay costs (£553,179), non-surgical intervention (£55,607), scans (£41,728), and surgical intervention (£75,413). The total cost of dietetic inputs were about £17,390,including 410 hours. Conclusions Most patients experienced emotional trauma related to lack of adequate perioperative care, and difficulties in communication with their overseas surgeons. The results of this study highlight significant costs associated with managing such complications in Northern Ireland. The findings suggest investing in public bariatric surgical services may be more cost-effective than relying on bariatric tourism. Furthermore, Bariatric care is delivered by MDTs which are actively involved in management of these patients throughout their care-pathway. The study highlights lack of perioperative care and follow up needed to minimize complications and associated costs, as well as addressing the emotional trauma of those patients.

Objective: This study aimed to determine impact of eHealth literacy on health promotion activities and preventive health practice among adolescents. Methods: This cross-sectional study was conducted between March and May 2022 with 706 adolescents in &amp;Ccedil;orum, Turkey. A face to face questionnaire form including socio demographic characteristics, preventive health practices, eHealth Literacy scale and Adolescent Health Promotion Scale were used. The data of the research were analyzed with the SPSS 22.0 program. Percentage, mean, Pearson Correlation analysis and multiple regression analysis were used in the analyzes. The p&amp;lt;0.05 value was considered statistically significant in the evaluations. Results: In the study, 55.8% were female and the mean age of the whole group was 16.09&amp;plusmn;2.63 years. The mean score of eHealth Literacy scale was 29.40&amp;plusmn;6.29. The mean of the total scores obtained from the Adolescent Health Promotion Scale was 137.97&amp;plusmn;21.87. Among the adolescents 96.0% didn&amp;rsquo;t use alcohol and 81% didn&amp;rsquo;t smoke. The rate of annual weight measure was 68.8%. Measurements of annual blood pressure, annual blood iron, annual cholesterol, annual dental examination and regular exercise rate were below 50%. There was a significant positive correlation between eHealth literacy and the Adolescent Health Promotion Scale (p&amp;lt;0.001). Multiple linear regression analysis was performed to predict eHealth literacy using the variables of Adolescent Health Promotion and preventive health practices. eHealth literacy was positively and significantly predicts health promotion behaviors (&amp;beta;= 0.27, t (695)= 7.54, p&amp;lt;0.001). eHealth literacy increased annual weight measurement by more than 0.13 (&amp;beta;=0.13), the annual blood iron measurement by more than 0.16 (&amp;beta;=0.16), annual dental examination by more than 0.11 (&amp;beta;=0.11). Conclusions: Adolescents ehealth literacy was high and effected via health promotion activities and preventive health practices. Developing eHealth litracy interventions will be important for environments with a high concentration of adolescents (schools, courses). Also, primary health care services should be entegrated with school environment.

Black people are disproportionately burdened by tobacco-related diseases and are less successful at cigarette cessation with current treatments. We know little about the effectiveness of e-cigarettes as a smoking cessation method compared to currently approved methods in Black adults who smoke. Many Black adults report experiencing racial discrimination in health care, but if discrimination is related to utilization of smoking cessation aids including e-cigarettes and success with smoking cessation in this population is unclear. Therefore, this exploratory study aimed to understand how negative experiences and racial discrimination in health care influence use of e-cigarettes for cigarette cessation and success with cigarette cessation among Black adults. The study interviewed 201 Black adults who used cigarettes and tried to quit in their lifetime from the Family and Community Health Study in 2016. The study asked if they had tried and successfully quit cigarettes with e-cigarettes vs. other methods (support groups, medications, nicotine replacement therapies, call-in help lines, cold turkey [quit on their own], counseling) and asked about their negative experiences and racial discrimination in health care. We performed separate logistic regressions that evaluated the association of negative experiences and racial discrimination in health care with 1) use of e-cigarettes for cigarette cessation vs. other quitting methods and 2) success with cigarette cessation using any method among Black adults while controlling for age, sex, socioeconomic status, health insurance status, and age of onset of cigarette use. More reported negative experiences and racial discrimination in health care were associated with ever trying to quit with e-cigarettes compared to other methods (OR:1.75, 95 % CI [1.05–2.91]), but negative experiences and racial discrimination in health care were not associated with cigarette quitting success. Interestingly, trying e-cigarettes was associated with being less successful at quitting compared to using other methods to quit smoking (OR: 0.40, 95 % CI [0.20, 0.81]). These results suggest that educating health care professionals that anticipated discrimination in health care settings may be driving Black adults who smoke to engage in non-evidence-based smoking cessation practices, such as e-cigarettes instead of those that are evidence-based, and may be more effective in this population.

Background : To integrate health impact assessment (HIA) into existing decision-making processes requires not only methods and procedures but also well-trained experts, aware policy makers and appropriate institutions. Capacity building is the assistance which is provided to entities, which have a need to develop a certain skill or competence, or for general upgrading of performance ability. If a new technique is planned to be introduced there is a need for capacity building with no respect to levels (local, regional, national, international) or sectors (health, environment, finance, social care, education, etc.). As such, HIA is a new technique for most of the new Member States and accession countries of the European Union. Methods : To equip individuals with the understanding and skills needed to launch a HIA or be aware of the availability of this methodology and to access information, knowledge and training, we focused on the organization of workshops in participating countries. The workshops served also as pilot events to test a “curriculum” for HIA; a set of basic topics and presentations had been developed to be tested during workshops. In spite of classical in-class workshops we aimed to organize e-learning events as a way to over come the “busyness” problem of decision makers. Results : Throughout March – October 2006 we organized and ran 7 workshops in Denmark, Turkey, Lithuania, Poland, Bulgaria, Slovak Republic and Hungary. Participants came from the public health sector (141), non-public health decision makers (113) and public health students (100). A concise curriculum was developed and tested during these workshops. Participants developed a basic understanding of HIA, skills to develop and use their own screening tools as well as scoping.Within the workshop in Denmark we tested an online, real-time Internet based training method; participants highly welcomed this method as it allowed them to take part in training from their workplace, and it did not disturb their daily work. Conclusions : The workshops set a very good baseline for the introduction of HIA in participating countries. The training documents are being translated into their national languages and will be posted on the national HIA web pages of the participating countries. Participating countries have expressed an interest in continuing on with similar workshops on specific issues related to HIA, providing more in-depth training.

Abstract Issue Many young people face barriers in accessing youth-friendly health information and health care. Differing cultural norms, languages, laws, and stigma pose additional challenges for young refugees in host countries. There is a need to implement more innovative, youth-friendly and widely used solutions to address the health education and health care needs of young people. Description of the practice REACH (REfugees Act and Communicate for Health) is a regional initiative, which aims to bridge the gap in health literacy and health care access among refugee and local youth via digital technologies in Turkey and Lebanon. Using community based participatory action research (CBPAR) approach, REACH aims to assess the impact of information and communication technologies on accessing health information and services among youth in countries that host large refugee populations. The initiative is supported by TaiwanICDF, Blue Chip Foundation and Columbia University. Results With a strong youth-adult partnership, the initiative includes stakeholders’ meetings, a mixed-methods study (survey and photovoice study with youth, qualitative interviews with service providers and policy makers), photo exhibitions, panels, and production of policy reports and scientific publications. Based on local needs in each country, REACH works with refugee and local youth, software developers, academia, local health authorities, UN organizations and NGOs to develop a multilingual mHealth application to increase health literacy and improve health care access among young refugee and host communities, and aims to assess its effectiveness to contribute to the limited evidence base on using health technologies for youth health promotion in forced migration settings. Lessons Using CBPAR and co-design approaches and engaging both refugee and local youth in the process of assessing needs and developing mHealth technologies can help to mitigate risks and increase the success rate of interventions. Key messages Community involvement and empowerment as well as harmonization between refugee and host communities increases the success of health interventions and builds a shared environment in host countries. mHealth solutions can be used for youth health promotion in a cost-effective way, and help in reaching vulnerable or stigmatized youth that struggle with health information and health care access.
