Breast self-examination (BSE) provides an important way of early detection of breast cancer, particularly for resource constrained countries. This study therefore examined the factors which influence the performance of BSE among female undergraduate nonmedical students of the University of Ghana. A cross-sectional survey was conducted between April and May 2018. It involved 308 students drawn from the University of Ghana. The instrument was based on the Health Belief Model and the Breast Cancer Knowledge questionnaires. The results suggest that about a quarter (23.4%) of the participants performed BSE at least once every month, despite 75.3% believing that checking the breast every month helps in early detection of breast cancer. As expected, those who had ever performed BSE had higher knowledge of breast cancer (M = 6.722, standard deviation [SD] = 2.090) compared with those who had never performed BSE (M = 4.850, SD = 1.982), p = . 000. Similarly, they perceived barriers to performing BSE to be lower (M = 17.900, SD = 5.733) compared with nonperformers (M = 19.850, SD = 6.976), p < .05. Results of logistic regression analysis indicated that knowledge level, self-efficacy, and level at the university were statistically significant predictors of BSE. Educational and training programs that focus on equipping women with the skill to perform BSE are therefore recommended.","PeriodicalId":54184,"journal":{"name":"International Quarterly of Community Health Education","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.3,"publicationDate":"2020-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1177/0272684X19885501","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"42513663","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 Men of Color Health Awareness (MOCHA) Moving Forward study seeks to determine the effectiveness of an innovative, community-driven program to improve the health and quality of life of low-income African-American men between the ages of 35 to 70 years by reducing identified social risk factors for chronic disease for these men. The project uses digital storytelling (DST) to encourage African-American men to tell their stories, especially related to stress, gender role stereotypes, and mental and physical health and well-being. Thirty-six men were recruited to participate in one of four DST workshops, which resulted in each participant creating a 2- to 3-minute digital story. In this article, we describe and analyze three salient ethical dilemmas that arose in conducting the Men of Color Health Awareness Moving Forward study DST workshops with African-American men. The dilemmas can be traced to the distinct purposes for which DST can be used, data collection or intervention development, and the trade-offs between protecting and patronizing participants. We discuss potential ways to resolve or circumvent the identified issues.","PeriodicalId":54184,"journal":{"name":"International Quarterly of Community Health Education","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.3,"publicationDate":"2020-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1177/0272684X19862931","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"45921306","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 main objective as addressed in this article was to explore the lived experience of adolescent mothers and the services provided to them by community health assistants (CHAs) in rural Zambia. Because the number of adolescent mothers in rural Zambia is so high, it is even more critical to describe the lived experiences of health care among these young women with particular emphasis on primary health care as delivered by CHAs in rural Zambia. We used a mixed-methods design to address our research questions. Data were collected from nine focus groups, which were conducted with young mothers from four provinces and 10 districts (n = 60). To support our effort to better understand the delivery of maternal and child health care in rural Zambia, key informant interviews were conducted with adolescent mothers (n = 12). We also conducted surveys (n = 44) and one-on-one interviews (n = 22) with CHAs. To the best of our knowledge, this is the largest study focused on the intersection of adolescents, maternal child health, and CHA delivery of care in Zambia. The results of our study suggest opportunities for change to operational practices within the rural health-care setting and the need to develop structured and age-appropriate services that focus on adolescents. This work addresses the gap in research for adolescents in health care in rural Zambia and brings attention to the unique health-care needs of adolescent mothers within the rural health-care setting.","PeriodicalId":54184,"journal":{"name":"International Quarterly of Community Health Education","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.3,"publicationDate":"2020-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1177/0272684X19896737","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"37489665","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 secondary objective was to assess the prevalence and severity of gingivitis in relation to the smoking practices. The study population comprised 1,847 (weighted N = 1,830) individuals (18 years and older) who were volunteer participants from the capitals of Jamaica, Dominican Republic, and Puerto Rico. A structured interview was used to assess the participants' smoking behaviors. The gingival index was used to determine the extent of gingival inflammation. Polytomous regression was used to estimate the adjusted odds ratios (aORs) for smoking status (current, past, or never), according to risk factors (sex, age-group, education, marital status, tooth-brushing frequency, and city of residence). Logistic regression models were used to assess the associations between different smoking status variables and mild to moderate/severe gingivitis. The majority of the participants were never-smokers, with current smokers being found most commonly in Kingston (33.22%), followed by San Juan (12.76%) and Santo Domingo (8.8%). Both current (aOR = 2.22, 95% confidence interval [1.45, 3.40]) and past (aOR = 1.87, 95% confidence interval [1.19, 2.93]) smoking (vs. never smoking) was strongly associated with severe gingivitis. Smoking was the most prevalent in Jamaicans and the least prevalent in Dominicans.

Attempts to resolve these work-related challenges have, inter alia, led to the establishment of the professions of Ergonomics, Occupational Therapy, Physiotherapy, Occupational Hygiene, and Biokinetics. The objective of this article is to illustrate the value of Ergonomic principles as an adjunct to the profession of Biokinetics. Insofar as Ergonomics addresses the physical and environmental risks which predispose and precipitate injuries, the profession of Ergonomics is primarily concerned with the practice of eradicating work-related challenges that impede human–machine interfacing, and which adversely influence work productivity and employee health. While Occupational Therapy and Biokinetics, by rehabilitating work-related injuries, assist in improving working conditions, little is known about the exact interface between the professions of Ergonomics and Biokinetics. The Google Scholar database was consulted in order to determine the relationship between Ergonomics and Biokinetics. The key words used were ergonomics and biokinetics and lead to the identification of 545 records, none of which pertained to the aforementioned subject. A subsequent search was conducted using the key words work-related musculoskeletal injuries and biokinetics. This search identified 925 records, the number of which were reduced to 42 (4.76%) after the exclusion of patents (n = 24), citations (n = 3), and nonbiokinetic work-related injury research (n = 856). Given that many work-related injuries are managed through the use of biokinetic rehabilitation, knowledge of the physical ergonomic risk factors at play will afford biokineticists an enhanced understanding of the etiology of work-related injuries, thereby helping to improve the vigor of the rehabilitation.","PeriodicalId":54184,"journal":{"name":"International Quarterly of Community Health Education","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.3,"publicationDate":"2020-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1177/0272684X19885493","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"44013857","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}
