Data were collected through telephonic interviews (total time taken: 5-6 min) using a structured questionnaire. The Wilcoxon signed-rank test was computed to compare pre- and posttest rank scores using the SPSS (29.0.0.0) version at the P < 0.05 (two-tailed) significance level.Results: Despite having a positive attitude, the majority showed a lower knowledge and practice level preintervention, whereas after the intervention, their KAP level improved statistically significantly.Conclusions: The study results provide a significant preliminary base for decision-makers and health-care providers to plan and impart digital literacy for TB prevention and control more effectively.","PeriodicalId":13298,"journal":{"name":"Indian journal of public health","volume":"69 1","pages":"67-73"},"PeriodicalIF":0.9,"publicationDate":"2025-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144063533","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In developing countries such as India, the high-economic burden of acute myeloid leukemia (AML) remains understudied despite its severe impact on outcomes. This study investigated the impact of socioeconomic factors on mortality and survival in AML. Conducted from January 2019 to February 2022 at a tertiary care center in India, it included 41 newly diagnosed AML patients. Socioeconomic determinants such as education, insurance status, social support, and socioeconomic status (SES) (using the Modified Kuppuswamy Scale, 2021) were assessed. Using adjusted multivariable Cox proportional hazards ratio (HR), the study found that lower SES was associated with an increased mortality risk compared to the upper socioeconomic class (lower-middle class HR = 19.9 [P = 0.027], upper-lower class HR = 400 [P = 0.004], and lower class HR = 1221 [P = 0.002]). The overall survival difference between SES classes was not statistically significant.

Each CHO's work pattern, workload was studied for 1 week using 24-h recall method. Validation of the information provided by CHOs was done by asking them to submit activity photographs. Semi-structured interviews were conducted with CHOs and analyzed using thematic analysis to understand their perspectives, barriers, and challenges.Results: They were found to spend roughly 64.2% of their time on curative work, 21.3% on managerial work, and around 14.5% on promotive, preventive work. On data triangulation, a knowledge-application gap was observed. The major barriers and challenges found were focus on clinical care, lack of microplanning, insufficient resources, and no job security.Conclusion: The work distribution of the CHOs is focused more on curative and managerial aspects with minimal focus on promotive, preventive aspects. To foster \"Wellness\" of the community through a holistic approach as envisaged under the Ayushman Bharat Program, strategies need to be devised with greater emphasis on health promotion, addressing the challenges raised by this new cadre.","PeriodicalId":13298,"journal":{"name":"Indian journal of public health","volume":"69 1","pages":"18-26"},"PeriodicalIF":0.9,"publicationDate":"2025-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143984503","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Local capacity at district, subdistrict, and village levels is still insufficient and remains a major constraint that needs to be addressed.Objectives: This study aimed to assess factors related to stunting and severe stunting among children aged under 2 years at the individual, household, and district levels.Materials and methods: The integrated 2018 Indonesian Basic Health Research and National Socioeconomic Survey were analyzed utilizing multilevel multinomial logistic regression analysis to examine the role of the individual, household, and district levels with stunting and severe stunting among children aged under 2 years. The magnitude of the role of the individual/household level and district level in the prevalence of stunting and severe stunting can be seen from the Interclass Correlation Coefficient (ICC) value.Results: At the district level, food insecurity status is the main predictor of increased odds of severe stunting. ICC individuals and households for stunting 83. 6% severe stunting 25.4%, ICC at the district stunting 16.4%, and severe stunting 74.7%. This indicates that the district level has a greater contribution to the prevalence of severe stunting and the individual/household level contributes more to the prevalence of stunting.Conclusions: This study's findings have resulted in the influence of district contextual factors on severe stunting and an effect of the individual household factors on stunting indicating that multilevel interventions are the key to preventing and reducing stunting and severe stunting.","PeriodicalId":13298,"journal":{"name":"Indian journal of public health","volume":"69 1","pages":"50-56"},"PeriodicalIF":0.9,"publicationDate":"2025-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143989941","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Stratified sampling by probability proportionate to size was done. A self-administered questionnaire was used. Data were analyzed using the chi-square test and logistic regression.Results: A total of 357 HCWs participated in the study. The prevalence of NSSI in the preceding 1 year was 23.8%. A needle on a disposable syringe was the most common device that caused the injury (71.8%). Recapping of needles was the most common procedure that led to the injury (28.2%). More than half (61.2%) of the participants did not report the injury to the concerned authorities. Participants who were fully vaccinated against hepatitis B were less likely to have had an injury in the past 1 year. Participants were more likely to report the injuries to the concerned authorities if the sharp item was contaminated.Conclusion: One in every four participants had sustained at least one episode of NSSI in the preceding year.

The potential etiology of AES varies from viruses, bacteria, fungi, and parasites with viruses being most prevalent. The virus-mediated AES in Assam is not well characterized. Most viruses causing AES lack specific treatment, but encephalitis caused by mumps virus (MuV) can be effectively treated. Therefore, the present study was undertaken to identify MuV positivity in AES cases during January 2018-July 2021. Using enzyme immunoassay MuV immunoglobulin M antibodies were tested in 317 samples (cerebrospinal fluid and serum) of which positivity was found in 22.0% (70/317), with higher prevalence in males and bulk of cases occurring in July. Quantitative reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction positive MuV cases were genotyped targeting small hydrophobic gene which revealed the circulation of genotypes C and G during the studied period. Despite Japanese encephalitis (JE) being considered the major viral etiology for AES, the present study highlights the emergence of MuV over JE with time.","PeriodicalId":13298,"journal":{"name":"Indian journal of public health","volume":"69 1","pages":"107-110"},"PeriodicalIF":0.9,"publicationDate":"2025-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144013909","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
