Following successful implementations from countries with similar healthcare system such as Hong Kong, and Australia, CH merges hospitals to establish an integrated network of specialist and non-specialist hospitals through shared resources, streamlined services and care coordination. A qualitative study was conducted to explore perceived barriers and boosters towards CH implementation and its sustainability among healthcare providers via semi-structured focus group discussions and in-depth interviews with purposefully selected respondents from the first six CHs. An Interview protocol was developed based on Consolidated Framework for Implementation Research (CFIR) covering five domains; intervention characteristics, outer setting, inner setting, characteristics of individuals, and process. This paper will only highlight the perceived barriers in the intervention characteristics domain. A total of 274 participants from varying professions were interviewed. Interviews were audio-recorded, transcribed and thematic analysis was performed. In this domain, barriers to implementation were found within three constructs; complexity, design quality & packaging, and cost. Issues highlighted include intervention was designed with vague guidelines & policies, distance and travel costs within a CH, medical record safety, huge capital and operating cost involved. It was found that adaptation of evidence-based interventions needs to take into account the local context of an organisation for the implementation to be successful and produce desired outcomes. Thus, these perceived barriers raised by ground-level implementers should be considered and acted upon when strategising towards CH sustainability.","PeriodicalId":260489,"journal":{"name":"LIFE: International Journal of Health and Life-Sciences","volume":"50 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-03-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133045793","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}

The population for the study includes all patients aged 16 to 23 years with eating disorders who had been referred to psychiatry, psychotherapy, and obesity clinical treatment centers in Tehran. Purposive sampling was used in this study. 39 patients were diagnosed to have Bulimia nervosa by performing psychological screening. Finally, the selected patients were matched in two experimental groups and one control group. Data were collected through two questionnaires and diagnostic interviews based on diagnostic criteria for eating disorders and psychiatric diagnosis. The two questionnaires used in the study included: (1) Parental Bonding Questionnaire (2) Young Schema Questionnaire. The main problems of the patients included having cuts, being rejected, autonomy, and impaired performance. However, they were less vulnerable in other areas including orientation and violating restrictions.

Inoculation process enables soybean to achieve most, and sometimes all, of his nitrogen requirements through N2-fixation process, however, this process, like soybean plant itself, is drought-sensitive. Drought is globally-increasingly imposed as a result of climatic changes, negatively affecting soybean production. An experiment was conducted in Debrecen, Hungary in 2017 and 2018 to evaluate the influence of moderate drought stress on some physiological parameters of both inoculated and non-inoculated soybean plants. Results showed that drought negatively affected soybean's physiology and yield, regardless of inoculation; however, inoculated plants could maintain better values of studied parameters relative to their non-inoculated counterparts. On the other hand, drought occurring during R4 stage had more noticeable effects on soybean plants as compared to drought occurring earlier (at V2 stage) during vegetative period. It was concluded that inoculation could be a beneficial strategy in order for soybean to reveal better physiology and, consequently, better yield under moderate drought conditions, and that the timing of drought stress occurrence is crucial regarding soybean's vigor and final seed yield.","PeriodicalId":260489,"journal":{"name":"LIFE: International Journal of Health and Life-Sciences","volume":"133 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-08-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133758091","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}
