These Americans have a lower life expectancy than their urban counterparts. There are many factors contributing to poorer health outcomes in rural America and one significant factor is limited access to healthcare. Telehealth is increasingly recognized as a solution for supporting rural access to healthcare. While many studies explore effective telehealth strategies, there are fewer studies that focus on telehealth application strategies and telehealth provider competencies specifically needed to support rural patients. This article aims to begin filling these gaps, examining best practices in rural telehealth application and provider competencies that are critical for effective rural patient care. Findings hold implications for faculty, medical professionals, and patients. Finally, the article identifies and consolidates five ideal telehealth application strategies and five telehealth provider competencies to support effective telehealth care in rural settings.KEYWORDS: Telemedicinehealthcareinequalityrural healthtechnology Disclosure statementNo potential conflict of interest was reported by the author(s).","PeriodicalId":45685,"journal":{"name":"Rural Society","volume":"60 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-10-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135823209","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 goal of achieving WEF nexus security has thus far focused on individual sectors, with few positive results, especially for rural communities. WEF nexus theory integrates resource use and management and promotes understanding how these interact, including at the household level. This can promote household security and resilience as a result of coping with, and adapting to, perceived ongoing challenges. Using case study methodology and qualitative methods, this article focuses on the WEF nexus security and coping strategies used in rural households in Africa. Challenges to WEF nexus security are presented. It is argued the coping strategies of rural households can be directly linked to interactions among WEF resources. The article concludes the WEF nexus theory is ideal for forming an understanding household security and resilience related to food, energy, and water.","PeriodicalId":45685,"journal":{"name":"Rural Society","volume":"32 1","pages":"112 - 126"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-05-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"43239732","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}

Data was collected using a structured questionnaire among 320 randomly selected crop farmers in Afijio, Oyo state, in southwestern Nigeria. Stepwise, multiple linear regression was used to identify the predictors of forest-clearing behaviour. Six variables, derived from a health belief model, determined the prediction of forest-clearing. Results indicate that “perceived barriers’ was the best predictor. “Cues to action”, “perceived benefit” and “perceived severity” were also good predictors of forest-clearing behaviour. The four constructs correlated with behaviour and explained 20.2% of the variance. Robust perception of barriers to conserving forests and perceived benefit derivable from such conservation aggravates forest degradation. In contrast, the intensity of cues that stimulate forest conservation and the severity of peoples’ perception regarding the severity of forest clearing, alleviates forest-clearing. Thus, pursuing forest conservation while invoking these variables is promising for reducing forest-clearing in Nigeria.","PeriodicalId":45685,"journal":{"name":"Rural Society","volume":"32 1","pages":"45 - 60"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-01-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"48035160","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 latest Federal Government Indicators show a 2% decline in formal volunteering rates. Thus, the implications for rural communities are problematic. Using the Volunteer Functions Inventory (VFI), we surveyed volunteers at a rural voluntary organisation and found trends for volunteer types, based on demographic factors and volunteer motivations.
