The contributions of CHWs have not been limited to low-income countries. More recently, the use of CHWs has attracted attention in some high-income countries where despite more developed health systems there are large inequities in healthcare access and outcomes amongst different population groups. Belize is an upper middle-income country located in Central America and its health system is based on a primary health care model with community health workers actively involved in health service delivery. A descriptive study through review of grey literature detailing the process for strengthening the community health worker program in the country using the Community Health Worker Assessment and Improvement Matrix (CHW AIM) tool. The results were thematically analysed based on Community Health Worker Assessment and Improvement Matrix (CHW AIM) conceptual framework on factors influencing the performance of community health worker program. Community health workers in Belize are recognized as part of the formal health system with policy and strategy in place that define their roles, tasks, relationship to the health system. They are provided with monthly financial incentives, opportunities for further studies, career advancement and employment opportunities within the health system. The study contributes to the existing literature on strengthening of community health worker program to enhance the primary health care system and build a more resilient health system for better preparedness and response for future pandemics with focus on an upper middle income country.","PeriodicalId":73438,"journal":{"name":"International journal of community medicine and public health","volume":"48 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-10-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135871478","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}

A lockdown was implemented across the nation in response to escalating infections and community transmission. Patients Living with Human Immunodeficiency Virus (PLHIV) must get therapy for the rest of their lives. Anti-Retroviral Therapy (ART) must be available and strictly adhered to in order to lower HIV-related morbidity and mortality and stop HIV transmission. ART continuity in PLHIV has been compromised globally by the COVID-19 epidemic. This research was done to find out how the pandemic affected PLHIV patient’s adherence to their ART regimens. Methods: For nine months, PLHIV visiting the ART centre in a tertiary care hospital in Bengaluru urban participated in this a prospective comparative study. Through systematic random sampling, 470 patients were chosen for the study. Data were gathered by one-on-one interviews using a standardised semi-structured questionnaire. The statistics used were mean, median, and z test for proportion. Results: The bulk of the study participants were male and between the ages of 41 and 50. The most frequent means of HIV transmission risk was heterosexual interaction. Before and during the COVID-19 pandemic, there was a large difference in the number of PLHIV/day visits. Opportunistic infections and first-line failures were more common and statistically significant during the COVID-19 pandemic. Prior to the pandemic, there was an average 94.84% adherence to ART, which dropped to 80.55% during the pandemic. The variation was substantial. Conclusion: The COVID-19 pandemic has impacted PLHIV medication adherence, and opportunistic infections have increased during this time.","PeriodicalId":73438,"journal":{"name":"International journal of community medicine and public health","volume":"33 ","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-10-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135869991","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}

Adolescents and young adults are particularly vulnerable to commit self-harm (SH). SH causes serious emotional, physical, and economic repercussions, and leads to long-term health impacts. Methods: A retrospective study was conducted in a rural secondary care hospital from Feb 2020 to March 2022. Data regarding demographics, cause and type of SH, and treatment provided to 190 patients were analysed. Results: Majority of patients were in the 16-35 years age group. Poison consumption was the commonest method used. Pesticides and pills were the commonly-used agents. Agricultural activities and pre-existing illness in families facilitated access to these agents, as did the unregulated availability and unsafe storage. 31 patients disclosed the reason for SH, with the commonest reason being strained relationships. Emotional states described by the patients which pushed them to SH included dejection, hopelessness, anger, recklessness, altered mood, lack of purpose in life, cynicism and a sense of lack of support. 16% were discharged against medical advice. Conclusions: The study identified the need for methodical documentation, referral and follow-up of patients, with adequate psychiatric and counselling support. Access to care for SH patients is lacking especially in rural areas, and is at best available only for management of the SH event. SH should be considered not as a disease by itself, but as an outcome of stress due to socio-economic and other factors. Multi-stakeholder convergent approaches are needed to tackle this challenge in a holistic manner.","PeriodicalId":73438,"journal":{"name":"International journal of community medicine and public health","volume":"34 8","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-10-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135871687","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}

Only 86% of children worldwide have had vaccinations, making millions of youngsters susceptible to diseases that can be treated or prevented by administering vaccines. Immunization is the only effective way to prevent or treat certain disorders. Methods: Descriptive cross-sectional design was used. Semi-structured questionnaires given by interviewers to mothers and other caretakers in particular households were used to gather the necessary data. Multi-stage sampling technique was employed to select the questionnaire respondents the study area, a sample size of 384 eligible participants was used to collect quantitative data. Results: The study’s findings showed that Makueni county had an 82% vaccination coverage rate. This was a sign that the county had fallen short of the goal set by the WHO. From the inferential statistics analysis, there were significant association between vaccine uptake and immunization in all the four objectives examined i.e., p≤0.05. Conclusions: The study established that immunization coverage is high for children 23 months and below in Makueni County, with socio-demographic characteristics being the most important factor. It is advised that additional efforts be made to increase the uptake of immunization services. Along with improving their knowledge of child immunization, prenatal clinics should focus on improving the mothers’ health-seeking behaviour.","PeriodicalId":73438,"journal":{"name":"International journal of community medicine and public health","volume":"2004 7","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-10-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135813396","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}

There is strong debate about the efficiency of traditional learning programs (TLP) and integrated learning programs (ILP) in medical schools. TLP is easy for the students being passive learners and for the tutors playing the role of sage on the stage. ILP is mainly student-centered. It is essential to know the perspectives of medical school students about both programs as they used to apply TLP in the 1st year and started ILP in the 2nd year. Methods: This study adopted a quantitative research methodology. We addressed the 3rd-year medical students at the College of Medicine, University of Bisha, KSA. An online survey using Google forms was applied for data collection. The study was performed from August 2019 to June 2021. Results: Agreement with the integrated program (80.8%) exceeded the traditional (48.5%) especially in improving communication skills, dealing with new technologies, reinforcement of competencies in the research field, and to lesser extent for its suitability to be applied in medical schools nowadays, development of desired doctor skills to deal with patients and for provision of good approach for medical practice, and lastly for its suitability to identify and deal with the community needs. There was no statistical significance between the 2 programs regarding support of professionalism values. The disagreement of ILP (19.2%) was much lower than TLP (51.5%).
