Little is known about the experience of adherence to preventive behavior among older adults with prehypertension. Method : A constructivist grounded theory approach was used to develop a model explaining the process of adherence to preventive behavior among older adults with prehypertension living in Thailand. Participants were recruited using purposive and theoretical samplings from two primary health care units in Western Thailand. Semi-structured interviews were conducted with 26 participants. All interview data collection was recorded, transcribed, and analyzed simultaneously. Initial and focused coding, as well as constant comparison, were used to analyze the data. Results : ‘ Living healthier ’ appeared as a core category describing the process of adherence. Three categories were identi fi ed in the process of adherence: (1) recognizing the danger, (2) fi tting self-care strategies, and (3) managing for the long -term. Creating connectedness to live longer seemed to intercede adherence behavior. Conclusion : Adherence emerges from experiential learning when participants realized preventive behavior as the life source of living longer. These fi ndings may help in the design of nursing interventions to increase trust in preventive behavior adherence and enhance awareness of prehypertension and its possible consequences. Family intervention in promoting adherence to preventive behavior among older adults with prehypertension should be developed as a desire to live longer with family is forceful.","PeriodicalId":15935,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Health Research","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.7,"publicationDate":"2023-01-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"42219072","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Method : In this mixed-method study, a convergent design approach was adopted to examine the acceptability and effectiveness of the 4-week online MSPE in Chinese recreational runners (N ¼ 41). The quantitative strand was designed with a single-group pre-test and post-test model in which the dispositional fl ow was assessed at 2 time points (i.e., pre and post) using the Chinese Dispositional Flow Scale e 2 (DFS-2). After fi nishing the 4-week long online sessions, semi-structured interviews (N ¼ 15) were conducted, and a re fl exive thematic analysis (re fl exive TA) was utilized to analyze qualitative data. Results : Chinese recreational runners ’ dispositional fl ow signi fi cantly increased after four weeks online training compared to the baseline (d ¼ 0.53, 95% CI for d ¼ (0.30, 0.75)). This fi nding was substantiated by the positive experiences shared by participants highlighting the acceptability and effectiveness of the online mindfulness training.

This study aimed to explore the association between HH behavior among peritoneal dialysis (PD) patients or caregivers and PD-related infection. Method : A single-center, cross-sectional study was conducted among PD patients and primary caregivers of totally-dependent PD patients. Data were collected through a participant information form and three different questionnaires about knowledge of HH, facilities for HH, and HH behavior. Documentation of PD-related infections were obtained from patients ’ medical records during the last 12 months. Descriptive statistics and binary logistic regression were used to analyze the data. Results : A total of 254 participants, including 181 PD patients (71%) and 73 caregivers (29%), were studied. The overall mean score for HH behavior was at a ‘ good ’ level (3.7 ± 0.3). Nearly half of the participants (46%) had a PD-related infection. In the binary logistic regression analysis, ‘ improper ’ hand and fi ngernail hygiene (OR 1.72, 95% CI: 1.04 e 2.84), ‘ improper ’ hand-washing steps (OR 1.68, 95% CI: 1.02 e 2.80), and ‘ improper ’ hand-washing during PD procedures (OR 2.32, 95% CI: 1.20 e 4.50) were signi fi cantly associated with PD-related infection. Conclusion : ‘ Improper ’ HH behavior is associated with increased risk of PD-related infection. Our fi ndings serve as input to develop ef fi cient training and retraining programs for Thai PD patients and primary caregivers to improve their HH behavior and reduce risks of PD-related infection. Further investigation of training and retraining programs and of hand-washing techniques for PD is warranted.","PeriodicalId":15935,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Health Research","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.7,"publicationDate":"2023-01-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"47182092","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, smokers ’ engagement is lacking, as many prefer to communicate with experts during the quitting period so they can receive advice on dealing with the consequences of nicotine abstinence. Therefore, this study aimed to assess the effectiveness of an interactive text messaging service at the Thailand National Quitline. Method : The study was conducted as a randomized controlled trial. A total of 314 smokers were eligible, 153 of whom were randomly assigned to receive two-way short messages encouraging them to quit smoking. After the date of quitting, ThaiBulkSMS (SMS gateway provider) sent out 49 messages to them over 6 months. The remaining 161 participants received traditional counseling to quit smoking for approximately 30 min. Data were analyzed by descriptive statistics, a chi-squared test, and the Friedman test. Results : Both groups were similar in terms of their descriptive characteristics and variables related to smoking (p > 0.05). The continuous abstinence rate (CAR) of the participants in the counseling group was signi fi cantly greater than that of participants in the SMS group at 3 and 6 months (43.5% vs 38.6%; 34.2% vs 28.1%; p < .05). Moreover, we found a statistically signi fi cant difference in the CAR at 3 and 6 months between the two groups at the .05 level (x2-Friedman ¼ 1.34; p < .05). Conclusion : The “ interactive text message service ” is an innovative intervention for Thai smokers who want to quit smoking.","PeriodicalId":15935,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Health Research","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.7,"publicationDate":"2023-01-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"43906194","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Consequently, multidimensional frailty rates gradually worsened. This research aimed to explore coronavirus-related anxiety and others factors that influence physical, psychological, and social frailty in older community-dwellers in Taiwan during the COVID-19 pandemic. Methods: Two hundred and eight (208) elderlies over 65 years of age who lived in 12 administrative districts of Taipei City during the COVID-19 pandemic completed online questionnaires. The questionnaire asked for basic information, and included the coronavirus Pandemic Anxiety Scale, SARC-CalF of physical frailty, the Tilburg Frailty Indicator of psychological frailty, and the Questionnaire to define Social Frailty Status. Data were collected from 21 Ma y to 4 June 2022. They were analyzed using descriptive statistics, correlation coefficients, and one-way analysis of variance (ANOVA). Results: The average scores for coronavirus anxiety was 2.61, physical frailty was 1.28, psychological frailty was 1.67, and social frailty was 2.25. Regression analysis indicated that the degree of anxiety-related symptoms was associated with physical and psychological frailty in older community-dwellers (p < 0.01, p ¼ 0.002). Conclusions: The anxiety related to coronaviruses in older community-dwellers affected their physical, psychological, and social frailty in Taiwan. We considered anxiety-related symptoms when assessing the frailty status of elderly to better understand their physical and mental health. Thus, these data support policy recommendations to reduce the effects of the elderly's anxiety-related symptoms on their frailty in future pandemics. © 2023 College of Public Health Sciences, Chulalongkorn University.

Methods : A cross-sectional survey using a convenience sampling method was used to recruit Primary Health Care workers in four Local Government Areas (LGAs). A self-reported questionnaire was adapted from a previous study and used to assess knowledge, attitudes, and practices on AEFI. Results : A total of 178 participants were recruited for this study.

There was a signi fi cant relationship between knowledge, gender, and AEFI practices (p < 0.005). Conclusions : Although respondents in this study had good knowledge, positive attitudes, and good practices towards AEFI surveillance and reporting, this study also revealed some critical gaps in the categorization of serious AEFIs and in the timeliness of reporting of AEFI cases.

Homeless people are vulnerable to health problems but tend to underutilise health services. Despite being a worldwide concern, there is little research on health issues and healthcare utilisation among homeless people in Malaysia. Methodology : Three databases were used to search for relevant articles: Scopus, Web of Science, and PubMed. Studies published between 2011 and 2021 that examined the health problems and health service utilisation among homeless adults in Malaysia were considered. Manual searches in reference lists and grey literature were also performed to add reports. Data were extracted manually. The authors conducted a descriptive analysis and narrative synthesis. Results : A total of seven articles ful fi lled the pre-determined inclusion and exclusion criteria. Three themes emerged from the studies: health problems, healthcare service utilisation, and associated factors of healthcare services utilisation. Of the seven articles, reported health problems included drug abuse, alcohol abuse, HIV-positive status, mental health problems, oral health, and other chronic diseases. All included articles reported none to under-utilised health care services. The associated factors of health care utilisations were fi nancial issues, low levels of self-care awareness, feeling embarrassed, low health literacy, and poor social support. Conclusion : Evidence shows that the homeless suffer from a range of health problems. Poor health care utilisations among the homeless are a signi fi cant issue, with several associated factors contributing to that worrying scenario. Future studies among homeless people are needed to provide more information, especially about their health care utilisations.

The ef fi cacy of intervention components across different sociocultural settings is relevant for real world implementation. Thus, this study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of a culturally tailored diabetes prevention program (CTDPP) for at-risk Muslim people in Thailand. Methods : The CTDPP was developed and culturally adapted based on formative research. Participants at risk for diabetes were recruited and randomly assigned to either the intervention group (n ¼ 60) or the control group (n ¼ 59). Study group subjects participated in the CTDPP for 3 months. Control group subjects received only routine self-care recommendations for preventing diabetes. All participants were assessed for diabetes prevention knowledge and health outcomes at baseline and follow-up. Results : At the 12th week, the intervention group and control group showed that diabetes prevention knowledge improved from baseline (p < 0.05). The score for knowledge was signi fi cantly higher in the intervention group than in control group. Other health outcomes demonstrated signi fi cant within-group improvements only in the intervention group, but not in the control group. Changes in participants ’ HbA 1 c levels were not signi fi cant for within-group and between-group comparisons at baseline and 12 weeks. Adjusting for covariates at baseline, our ANCOVA analysis showed that differences in weight, body mass index, and waist circumference between the intervention and control groups were signi fi cant (p < 0.01).
