Materials and methods: This study used a web-based questionnaire to assess college students’ intention to take the COVID-19 vaccine and their beliefs about COVID-19 and the vaccine. Descriptive statistics were used to characterize the sample. Independent group t-tests and one-way analysis of variance were used to assess the differences in intention to take the COVID-19 vaccine based on demographics. Pearson correlation was used to assess the associations among continuous variables. Multiple linear regression analysis was used to identify the factors associated with college students’ intention to take the COVID-19 vaccine. Results: The score for intention to take the COVID-19 vaccine was 3.76 ± 1.12. Scores for perceived susceptibility, perceived benefits, and perceived barriers were associated with the intention to take the vaccine. Conclusion: Important predictors of college students’ intention to take the COVID-19 vaccine included perceived high susceptibility to inflection, perceived high benefits, and perceived low barriers to receiving the vaccine. Interventions targeting these factors may be useful in facilitating acceptance of the COVID-19 vaccine.","PeriodicalId":51633,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Healthcare Management","volume":"40 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.8,"publicationDate":"2021-06-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"90490767","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}

The healthcare workers are among the population at high risk. Evaluating the psychological impact of the Covid-19 on the mental health of healthcare workers in Cameroon is very crucial to maintain their psychological well-being, and ensure good monitoring and follow up of patients. Methods: This study was an online survey in which electronic questionnaires were made available to healthcare workers through email and social media. The survey involved the risk perception towards Covid-19, psychological distressand the motivation of healthcare workers. The level of psychological distress was measured using the 12-item generalised health questionnaire. Data was analysed in SPSS version 25. Results: A majority of the healthcare workers (99.3%) perceived Covid-19 as a major public health problem with 74.9% feeling unsaved working during the pandemic and 21% feeling as abandoning their job. Psychological distress was moderate in 63% and high in 16% of the Healthcare workers and did not vary with sociodemographic characteristics. Healthcare workers directly involved in the Covid-19 unit had a significantly higher psychological distress score compare to those not directly involved (p = 0.009). The motivation to carry out their duty (74.2%), respect of the hypocrate oath (60.9%) and serving the nation (50.2%) were the main reasons motivating the healthcare workers to keep on performing their duty. Conclusion: Our study highlights that healthcare workers in Cameroon are experiencing moderate to high psychological distress as a result of the Covid-19 pandemic. Therefore there is a need for psychosocial support to mitigate the distress and to ensure their well-being.","PeriodicalId":51633,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Healthcare Management","volume":"3 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.8,"publicationDate":"2021-03-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"80055521","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}

Alem, Girma Zeleke, Mandefreo Baharu, H. Amare","doi":"10.36959/569/457","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.36959/569/457","url":null,"abstract":"Background: Diabetic Ketoacidosis (DKA) is one of the most serious acute complications of Diabetes Mellitus (DM) and the leading cause of morbidity and mortality in young adults with type 1 diabetes. The mortality rate for DKA ranges from 2 to 5% in developed countries and 6 to 24% in developing countries. Even though many DKA patients were seen in emergency unit of Ethiopian hospitals and health centers, little is known about precipitating factors and clinical-laboratory features of DKA among Ethiopian patients and information is scant to promote better health service to prevent mortality due to DKA. So the aim of this study is to assess the prevalence and associated risk factors of DKA in newly diagnosed Type 1 Diabetic patients in Dilla University Referral Hospital (DURH) from September 9th/2017-May 30th/2019. Method: Quantitative institutional based study was conducted among 421 newly diagnosed type one diabetic patients. Data was double entered from the paper-based abstraction sheet into Epi info version 7 and exported to SPSS version 20 for analysis. A descriptive analysis was performed. Bivariate and multivariate logistic analysis was done to identify factors associated with the magnitude of Keto acidosis. Variables with p-value less than 0.05 were declared as having significant association between factors and dependent variable. Result: The magnitude of Diabetic Keto Acidosis (DKA) in newly diagnosed patients with type one diabetic Mellitus (T1DM) was found to be 38%. The significant predictors of Diabetic Keto Acidosis (DKA) among newly diagnosed patients with type one diabetic Mellitus (T1DM) were young age of the adult, family history of diabetes and infection prior to onset of Diabetic Keto Acidosis (DKA). Conclusion: The overall magnitude of Diabetic Keto Acidosis (DKA) in adults with newly diagnosed type 1 diabetes is high. In particular, adults between 18-25 years of age have a high risk of Diabetic Keto Acidosis (DKA) at onset of diabetes mellitus. Young Age, first degree relatives with Diabetic Mellitus (DM) and infection prior to Diabetic Keto Acidosis (DKA) are found to be the significant explanatory variable of Diabetic Keto Acidosis (DKA) in primary onset of T1DM.","PeriodicalId":51633,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Healthcare Management","volume":"18 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.8,"publicationDate":"2020-08-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"84895856","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}
