Int 2022;12(2):65-70. This study was conducted with the primary objective to establish if there is a directional relationship between envisioned competencies and real-world performance (PBI)? Whether incentivization reflects in its truest sense the competency? Which was translated to performance by the CHW. Moreover, what are those CHW characteristics at community level like population, distance to the health facility, health system level like availability of logistics, training and individual levels like age, education, caste, religion, marital status etc. 6,7 which may serve as effect modifiers in the aforesaid relationship. However, the existing literature showed almost studies on CHW performance that could three-dimensional relationship. ABSTRACT Introduction: Induction of Community Health Workers (CHWs) into various health programs is considered as an integral strategy to achieve universal health coverage. Thus, it is prudent to explore and understand the CHWs individual and the system level interactions and their further translation into performance and actionable domains. Objectives: To quantify the relationship structure between envisioned competencies and CHW performance with factors operating at individual and the immediate system level as effect modifiers. Methods: A cross-sectional study was done in primary rural health care settings of Madhya Pradesh state in Central India. CHWs were stratified as relatively low performing (RLP) and relatively high performing (RHP) based on their annual performance-based incentives for the year (April 2017- March 2018). CHWs were administered a self-reported questionnaire that included socio demographic details, knowledge, skills assessment and availability of logistics. Results: Among the 90 eligible CHWs, 31 RLP and 30 RHP CHWs were interviewed. The CHWs performance was found to be significantly associated with age, education, caste, presence of under 5 children, knowledge and competency scores. However, while adjusting for the confounders only age and educational status were found to be significant. Further cluster analysis revealed two clusters based on individual and system characteristics which was found to influence the CHWs performance. Conclusion: The relationship between the CHWs truest competencies and performance based incentivisation tends to have been influenced by age and education which could help in developing a more focused supportive supervision catering to their needs.","PeriodicalId":90863,"journal":{"name":"International journal of medicine and public health","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-04-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"46751357","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}

{"title":"Plastic Handling and Pollution, a Study on the Effect of “Polluter Pays” Principle in Lodwar Town, Turkana County, Kenya","authors":"Nakusi Peter, S. Musyoki, A.

Unacceptable plastic waste disposal, due to insufficient human and financial capacity, is a challenge facing Kenya and other developing countries. This study investigated the effect of “polluter pay” principle on plastic handling and pollution in Lodwar town Turkana County. Materials and Methods: A cross-sectional-descriptive study design targeting residents of Lodwar town, municipal workers, county National Environment Management Authority officers and public health department officers at the county was adopted. Data were then analyzed with descriptive and inferential statistics with the aid of Statistical Package for Social Sciences version 26. Results: The findings reveal that majority (48.1%) of the residents disagreed that the municipality sets certain fee and charges to the residents for residual waste per household, per square metre living space. In addition, majority (53.9%) also disagreed that Tax system has been put in place for landfill tax for contaminated site remediation. Majority (71.9%) of the residents agreed that Deposit System has been put in place waste types (for example glass bottles, plastic bottles. However, majority (43.2%) of the residents disagreed that there is producer responsibility driven systems for packaging, electric/electronic waste. From the chi-square analysis the “Polluter Pays” Principle is statistically significantly (X 2 =93.572) associated with plastic waste handling. Conclusion: The study concludes that “polluter pays” principle have a significant effect on plastic waste handling in Lodwar municipality. Contrary the municipality has not put in place for landfill tax for contaminated site remediation. Recommendation: The study recommends that County administration should put in place mechanisms to attract and leverage public private partnership as a vehicle to mobilize resources and enhance private sector participation in sustainable waste management and circular economy development activities.","PeriodicalId":90863,"journal":{"name":"International journal of medicine and public health","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-04-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"47388088","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}

In order to combat the pandemic, the WHO has recommended barrier measures that have affected the lives of people in many countries. Objectives: The present study aims to determine the levels of knowledge, attitudes and practices related to barrier measures related to Covid-19 among secondary school students in the south of Benin during Physical and Sports Education (PSE) classes. Methods: This is a cross-sectional, descriptive and analytical study carried out among 1000 students, including 387 girls from secondary schools in the Littoral department in southern Benin, using a self-administered questionnaire. Results: The majority of the students surveyed showed average levels of knowledge (70%) and attitudes (66.6%) but a poor level of practice (0.0%) with regard to barrier measures at PSE or not. Conclusion: Awareness of the pandemic must therefore be reinforced among students in order to improve their knowledge, attitudes and practices in relation to compliance with the recommended barrier measures. This will help prevent PSE classes from spreading COVID-19 in Beninese schools.
