مستخلص: Objective: We aimed to understand the utilization of the mode of delivery and related risk factors. Further aimed to apply the Robson classification system to evaluate the data quality and analyze the CS rates in subgroups. Methods: We conducted a retrospective descriptive study by reviewing the medical records of all women who delivered at the State Hospital in 2019. A proforma was developed for extracting data from patient records. All women with six obstetric parameters were categorized into Robson groups to determine the absolute and relative contributions of each group to the overall CS rate. Results: Of 797 deliveries, 401 (50.2%) were CSs. Being older, being Turkish Cypriot, having preterm births, previous CS, multiple fetuses, and having breech or transverse fetal presentations were related to having higher risks of CS. The most common medical indication for CSs (52.3%) was a history of previous CSs. Robson Group 5 contributed the most (50.7%) to the overall CS rate, with the highest absolute contribution of 21.8%. Group 10 and Group 8 were the second and third highest contributors to the overall CS rate, with relative contributions of 25.3% and 9.0%, respectively. Conclusions: Findings revealed the substandard quality of obstetric data and a noticeably high overall CS rate. The top priority should be given to improving the quality of medical records. It underscored the necessity of implementing the Robson classification system as a standard clinical practice to enhance data quality, which helps to effectively evaluate and monitor the CS rates in obstetric populations. Significance: Caesarean section rates are increasing worldwide, and the Robson Classification System is recommended by the WHO to evaluate and monitor the CS rates. This study is the first to use Robson classifications and revealed high CS rates in specific subgroups of the obstetric population. The inadequate, substandard data quality highlighted the areas that urgently needed improvement in clinical practices at the largest state hospital. The study lays the foundation for further nationwide studies and demonstrates the importance of the Robson classification system. Specific recommendations were provided to the hospital management for improving the quality of the obstetric data and monitoring CS rates. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

الوصف: Background: Understanding health-seeking behaviors and determining factors help governments to adequately allocate and manage existing health resources. The aim of the study was to examine the health-seeking behaviors of people in using public and private health facilities and to assess the factors that influence healthcare utilization in Northern Cyprus. Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted in 2 polyclinics among 507 people using a structured intervieweradministered questionnaire. Health-seeking behaviors were measured using four indicators including routine medical check-ups, preferences of healthcare facilities, admission while having health problems, and refusal of health services while ill. Descriptive statistics and multivariable logistic regression analyses were done to explore factors influencing the use of health services. Results: About 77.3% of the participants reported to have visited health centers while they had any health problems. More than half (51.7%) of them had a routine medical check-up during the previous year, while 12.2% of them had refused to seek healthcare when they felt ill during the last five years. Of all, 39.1% of them reported preferring private health services. Current smokers (adjusted odds ratio [AOR]=1.92, 95% CI: 1.17-3.14), having chronic diseases (AOR=2.05, 95% CI: 1.95-2.16), having poor perceptions on health (AOR=2.33; 95% CI: 1.563.48), and spending less on health during the last three months (AOR=2.08, 95% CI: 1.43- 3.01) had about twice the odds of having routine checkups. Higher education (AOR=1.87, 95% CI: 1.38-2.55) was shown to be a positive predictor for the health-seeking behaviors, whereas having self-care problems (AOR=0.18, 95% CI: 0.08-0.40) and having a moderate-income (AOR=0.68, 95% CI: 0.57-0.81) were inversely associated with seeking healthcare. Conclusion: The utilization of public and private health sectors revealed evident disparities in the socio-economic characteristics of participants. The health-seeking behaviors were determined by need ...

الوصف: The study evaluated the accuracy of the shared information related to family planning and contraception, and other characteristics on four major social media sites based on WHO guidelines. A web-based content analysis was conducted with a systematic search on Facebook, YouTube, Twitter, and Instagram to include posts related to family planning and contraceptives. Out of 486 posts, 77.4% were evaluated as accurate. Information characteristics, including being shared on Facebook (OR=27.7, 95% CI 7.41-104.14) and YouTube (OR=15.9, CI 95%: 2.7-93.2), being shared by public accounts (OR=1.7, 95% CI 1.1-2.7), and being shared for educational purposes (OR=4.2, 95% CI 2.6-6.5) were significantly associated with the content accuracy. A significant proportion of inaccurate information was shared by health professionals. There are notable proportions of misinformation, and some were shared by healthcare providers. These social media platforms should be monitored and evaluated consistently based on the latest evidence. Healthcare providers should leverage the advantages of social media to disseminate up-to-date, evidence-based contraceptive information. Highlights

الوصف: Since 2005, the Malaysian government has boosted its support towards the biotechnology sector in terms of a strong policy framework, financial mechanisms and by setting up several implementation agencies to drive this sector forward. This chapter evaluates the current development of the health biotech sector by identifying the main challenges faced by private health biotechnology firms in Malaysia. The case study analysis is based on comprehensive information obtained from semi-structured interviews, a survey and a focus group discussion with key informants from the private biotech sector combined with secondary data using the triangulation method. The chapter identifies several main challenges related to regulatory systems, niche areas, human capital and access to financing. These challenges stem from an underdeveloped health innovation system in Malaysia. Additionally, we propose several specific strategies and recommendations to build an effective national healthcare innovation system, which can strengthen private sector capabilities and increase interactivity and knowledge flows between various actors within the health biotech sector. The effective exploitation of the role of biotechnology firms and industry would be the key to sustaining successful development of this knowledge-intensive sector.

الوصف: BACKGROUND: The objective was to assess the knowledge level, attitude, and practice of health care workers towards standard precautions, and to identify the related factors. Furthermore, it was attempted to identify the proportion of having the experience of needle stick injuries (NSIs) and associated factors among participants. METHODS: A cross-sectional study was conducted in a teaching hospital among 233 health workers using a self-administrated questionnaire. The questionnaire included eight knowledge items, seven practice items, and five attitude items. Based on the mean score of each category, responses were grouped into “satisfactory” and “unsatisfactory”. Univariate, bivariate, and multivariable logistic regression analyses were done. RESULTS: The mean age of the participants 32.95 (SD ± 9.70) and 62.2% of them were women. 57.5% of the staff had a satisfactory level of correct knowledge (>5 correct answers), 37.3% had a satisfactory positive attitude (>3 correct answers), and 30.9% had a satisfactory practice (>3 correct answers) towards standard precautions. The occupation was one of the predictors as doctors were less likely to have satisfactory knowledge and practice compared to nurses (OR = 0.269, 95% CI: 0.10–0.70 and OR = 0.248, 95% CI: 0.08–0.77, respectively). Out of 174 participants, 31.6% of them reported experiencing NSIs and support staff were 71% less likely to experience NSIs compared to nurses & paramedics. CONCLUSION: The findings revealed a substandard adherence of standard precautions among participants, which highlighted the necessity of the provision of a periodic, tailored training program based on the occupation and risk exposure.
