The Responsibiligated Status
An individual with a disability influences every member of a family. While research on families with children with disabilities is extensive, studies focusing on families with parents with disabilities remain limited. A common situation in the deaf community is a family with deaf parents and hearing children. Children of deaf adults (CODAs) experience unique family dynamics, often acting as language brokers for their deaf parents. This study expl…
Unpacking access barriers through the health providers' lens among the Arab Bedouin population in Israel

By adopting the intersectionality perspective, this research aims to identify gaps and barriers to Bedouins' healthcare services (HCS) utilization, as perceived by healthcare professionals (HCP) serving this community. A qualitative study was conducted from June 2019 to Ja…

Changes such as technological advancements, healthcare regulations, market demands, and an aging population can significantly impact the logics that organize professions and practices within a professional field. A qualitative research, conducted in Israel (January 2019-October 2021), explored the repercussions of these changes on the…

Hesitant and anti-vaccination groups
Background: Vaccination is widespread in Western countries and, overall, there is a high vaccination rate. However, immunization is still an enduring challenge. In recent years, the number of parents who choose to delay or refuse vaccines has risen. Objectives: (1) to identify the perceptions and attitudes of hesitant and anti-vaccination parents regarding vaccination in general, and vaccinating their children in particular and; (2) to describe t…
Pro-vaccination Groups Expressing Hesitant Attitudes
Background Vaccines have contributed to the decline in mortality, morbidity, and even the eradication of various infectious diseases. Over time, the availability of information to the public and the request for public involvement in the health decision-making process have risen, and the confidence in vaccines has dropped. An increasing number of parents and individuals are choosing to delay or refuse vaccines. Objectives (1) Identifying hesitant …
Factors Involved in the Food Choices of Diners in a Kibbutz Communal Dining Room Buffet

From May to July 2014, we conducted in-depth, semi-structured, face-…
Perceptions about the accessibility of healthcare services among ethnic minority women
Taking into consideration the identified needs and the Arab Bedouin women's unique characteristics, along with adopting the intersectional approach should help improve access to healthcare services among such a vulnerable subgroup and other subgroups within minorities worldwide
Giving a voice to medically vulnerable populations
Older adults in poor health represent a growing sector of the population worldwide. These medically vulnerable individuals often tend to be ill-prepared for emergencies. In times of crisis they are at higher risk of experiencing adverse health outcomes and are liable to place an additional burden on health and social care services. The aim of this study was to explore the unique perceptions and diverse needs of community-dwelling medically vulner…
New sign language new(S)
Languages are dynamic and change over the years. Changes in sign languages have been usually initiated to accommodate the needs of the local Deaf community. With the increase in smartphone use, sign languages are influenced not only by the local Deaf community, but also by foreign Deaf people on the other side of the screen, regardless of their location. Smartphones influence the sign language itself and the Deaf community by connecting different…
Religious Leaders’ Opinions and Guidance Towards Oral Health Maintenance and Promotion

However, the implementation of health legal preparedness differs between low- and middle-income countries (LMIC) and developed countries. OBJECTIVE: This paper examines recent trends regarding public health legal preparedness for emergencies and discusses its role in the recent Ebola outbreak. DESIGN: A rigorous literature review…
Laypersons' views of material incentives for enhancing colorectal cancer screening
BACKGROUND: Colorectal cancer (CRC) early detection improves health outcomes; screening programmes invest efforts in initiating invitations to target populations to be tested. Enhanced adherence is essential for reduction of morbidity and mortality. Participation rates in Israel are still relatively low. OBJECTIVE: To explore lay views regarding the concept of receiving material incentives in exchange for enhanced adherence to CRC screening. RESE…

Patient-physician relationships in second opinion encounters - The physicians' perspective
Punctuated Equilibrium and Path Dependency in Coexistence
Israel's enactment of national health insurance was clearly a breakthrough. However, other aspects of reform that were supposed to be implemented simultaneously were stymied, in particular, the conversion of government hospitals to independent trusts and removing the Ministry of Health from the direct provision of services such as mental health and long-term care. This article explores how punctuated equilibrium and path dependency coexist in the…
