This study used a structured online survey, comprised of quantitative and qualitative questions. The qualitative data were analyzed using interpretative thematic analysis and the quantitative data were analyzed with descriptive statistics. Findings showed that 88% of participants experienced racism and 63% said racism affected their mental health. Three themes emerged from the qualitative data: Social support for Black nurses, accountability of leaders and solidarity with Black nurses.

Independent living services are specified, programmatic sets of services funded by the Administration for Community Living (ACL) in line with expressly stated goals for implementation by state agencies for their state indepdent living centers (SILCSs) to implement through a State Plan for Independent Living (SPIL). Designated state agencies are required to submit their SPIL every three years to maintain funding through the ACL. This policy analysis of funded state plans for inclusion of people with disability aimed to determine which SPILs promote the IL philosophies of consumer choice and control. To this end, qualitative and quantitative content analyses were done to evaluate SPIL's inclusion of IL philosophies. Specifically, the consumer choice and control philosophy, involvement of people with disability, as well as the coherency of IL services from state to state were reviewed. The results of this paper indicate disparities in consumer choice and control initiatives across states, with approximately half of all states clearly promoting consumer control initiatives in their plans. Only three states made it clear that people with disability were involved in the SPIL development.

Pharmaceutical marketers face the challenge of convincing payers, prescribers, and patients that the cost and complexity of care associated with specialty medicines is worth the trouble, and now offer patient support programs, free of charge, to patients prescribed their drug. We conducted a secondary, qualitative, interpretive analysis of 24 interviews with leaders of patient groups and members of hospital formulary committees in Australia to describe the work of pharmaceutical company-employed or contracted nurses who provide support to patients prescribed specialty medicines, and to prompt discussion around the policy implications of relying on industry-funded nursing care within publicly funded health systems. Participants affirmed the value of specialist, holistic, person-centered nursing care, but perceived gaps within the public health system related to the availability and provision of nursing care for people living with chronic disease. Consequently, participants described the pharmaceutical industry as addressing health system gaps through sponsorship or direct provision of medication-related nursing care, but recognized that care was contingent on commercial interest. Participants highlighted a number of ethical and policy concerns stemming from industry-funded nursing care of people prescribed specialty medicines related to patient safety, continuity of care, inducement to prescribe, and health equity. This analysis suggests that outsourcing necessary medication-related care to pharmaceutical companies has implications for the health system and equitable, sustainable pharmaceutical policy that extend far beyond the care encounter.</p>","PeriodicalId":53177,"journal":{"name":"Policy, Politics, and Nursing Practice","volume":"24 1","pages":"67-75"},"PeriodicalIF":1.8,"publicationDate":"2023-02-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"10473490","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}

Children are especially at risk because of their dependence on adults to safely administer medications. The purpose of this study was to examine non-compliance with state child care medication administration regulations and factors associated with improved compliance. The data included routine, unannounced inspections of child care programs by state licensing specialists collected in two time periods over 10 years. Factors potentially associated with regulatory compliance were included in this secondary analysis. Most child care center medication administration regulations showed decreased non-compliance between the two time periods. However, regulations pertaining to prescriber orders and parent permission revealed a significant increase in non-compliance (58.4%). Factors positively associated with medication administration regulatory compliance included: compliance with annual professional development (p < 0.0001 in both periods), achievement of accreditation (p  =  0.0115 in Time 1), and among centers with children under 3 years of age, compliance with a weekly mandatory visit by a nurse consultant (p  =  0.0004 in Time 2). Though family child care homes had a lower frequency of medication administration non-compliance, only 19% were administering medications in Time 1. High quality, safe, and affordable child-care is essential for all children including those with special health care needs.

Thus, it may be worthwhile to determine the changes and patterns of public interest toward Ivermectin. This infodemiological study utilized and described Search Volume Index and related queries for Ivermectin from Google Trends vis-à-vis reported societal events in the Philippines to determine changes in public interest in Ivermectin use. It revealed that a tremendous increase in public interest in Ivermectin has emerged during surges of COVID-19 cases, endorsement by politicians and heterodox health authorities, and public distribution of Ivermectin. It also showed that public interest increased as the number of component characteristics of pharmaceutical messianism increased. Search-related queries and topics also showed that the public might be using the internet to inform themselves regarding the use of Ivermectin for humans, including its use for COVID-19. These findings suggest that people may study the endorsed panacea and weigh it against conventional and orthodox treatment during rising COVID-19 cases.

This study utilized qualitative descriptive content analysis of semi-structured phone interviews with vaccine waiver educators from local health departments (LHDs) in Michigan. Participants were vaccine waiver educators who were employed by a local health department in Michigan and had conducted at least 30 vaccine waiver education sessions. Strategies, resources, and techniques identified by educators as beneficial included using and providing information from a variety of sources, compiling their own educational materials, creating a positive experience, holding personalized sessions, and streamlining exemption and vaccination sessions. However, unexpected themes that emerged from the interviews revealed that vaccine waiver educators need additional training in discussing vaccine ingredients with parents, handling religious vaccine exemption requests, and assessing the role of schools. Implementing successful vaccine education interventions targeting vaccine-hesitancy is crucial to public health.
