Some gravitate to urban centres in their own countries seeking safety, education, health care, and employment opportunities. Others travel across national boundaries seeking reprieve from the atrocities of war and extreme poverty. Migration within countries is on the rise, as people move in response to adverse conditions such as lack of resources, services and education, and employment opportunities. In addition they may want to escape from violence or natural disasters. This movement of people from rural to urban areas has resulted in an explosive growth of cities around the globe. This paper draws on a research case study undertaken with the Kewapi language group in Port Moresby and the Batri Villages of the Southern Highlands in Papua New Guinea. It seeks to highlight the perspectives of women traveling vast distances from their home communities in order to seek education and health care. It explores the implications for developing effective service user focused health care systems designed to meet the needs of mobile and vulnerable women. The study suggests that if women and their families from remote rural communities are encouraged and facilitated in participating in health promoting initiatives they can dramatically improve their life and health experiences and that of their community.","PeriodicalId":211533,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of User-Driven Healthcare","volume":"62 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2012-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128563628","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}

This could stem from lacunae in the traditional system of education wherein certain practical skills arenâ€™t evaluated. In this study, an innovative mini OSPE (Objective Structured Practical Examination) for nosocomial infections was designed and implemented for post teaching evaluation of practical skills such as hand washing and safe hospital waste disposal. Seventy eight students, divided into two cohorts were evaluated after they underwent the traditional method of lecturing or hands on small group teaching. The mini OSPE demonstrated a significant increase in acquisition of practical skills in the cohort which underwent small group teaching as compared to the one which underwent traditional teaching. Within the small group teaching cohort, the scores improved in the late phase as compared to the early phase, the difference being statistically significant. Innovative techniques such as mini OSPE are valuable tools of evaluation and should be incorporated in the curriculum of para clinical subjects. When applied to important topics such as Nosocomial infections, this can help enhance learning and retention of practical skills with better application to future clinical practice.","PeriodicalId":211533,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of User-Driven Healthcare","volume":"99 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2012-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127273194","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}

A vast gap of health service need and provision exists. However, the proposed agenda of promotion and recognition of diabetes educators may translate into diabetes effective management at individual level to the maximum possibility. Managing diabetes is a unique and on-going process. As such, self-management of the disease is crucial. Diabetes patients should receive support to help them to manage diabetic condition as effectively as possible. This study proposes conceptual approach to diabetes self-management education. This framework further articulates the short term and long term outcomes. DSME promotion through educational intervention in a sustained manner has long-term benefits. DSME in an Indian context as optimally trained, effective, efficient, viable health human resource allocation across different levels is not a feasible solution in a low resource setting. This study proposes that a need exists for further research in an Indian context about the scientific credibility of DSME, financial feasibility, cultural acceptability and operation stability of the policy initiative.","PeriodicalId":211533,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of User-Driven Healthcare","volume":"14 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2012-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133624195","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}

Overall 87% patients believed that they had asthma when they are having symptoms, which is called as no symptoms, no asthma belief. No association was found between no symptoms, no asthma belief with gender, income, family history of asthma, and co-morbidity. Younger patients in the age group 18-29 years had four to five-fold greater odds and patients with education above 10th grade had three to four-fold greater odds of having the no symptoms, no asthma belief or the acute episodic belief. Acute episodic belief was negatively associated with beliefs about always having asthma, asthma being a serious condition, having lung inflammation, or the importance of using ICS, and was positively associated with expecting to be cured. All patients irrespective of their belief of acute or chronic nature of asthma had poor adherence to the treatment and other self-management behaviors.","PeriodicalId":211533,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of User-Driven Healthcare","volume":"14 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2012-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"117143191","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}

This article illustrates an active experiential learning exercise set in a in a user-driven learning environment using a web interface. Using a conversational learning approach, the discussion was centered around a neurological problem on the topic of chronic persistent headache, which generates a considerable amount of diagnostic uncertainty and interventional dilemma among physicians. The physician members of an online forum shared their viewpoints and insights regarding the topic. By utilizing a blend of experiential and empirical evidence, they collaboratively reached a solution. User-driven learning can serve as a potential learning tool in continuing medical education and also as a valuable educational resource to medical students, helping them develop empathy and real-life problem solving skills. Also, when such conversations involve multiple stakeholders (patients and their relatives, physicians and other health-care providers, medical students, etc.) it can foster a collaborative interface which is the essence of user-driven healthcare.","PeriodicalId":211533,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of User-Driven Healthcare","volume":"42 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2012-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123348844","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}
