Dynamics of career attractiveness and preferences among Swiss medical students
Medical career preferences are in focus because the future medical workforce should align with society's needs. The study investigated how medical students' perceptions of the attractiveness of various clinical and non-clinical career options evolved as they approached the end of medical school, and which factors might influence their career choices. This was a cross-sectional online survey of medical students who completed the master's program i…
Perceived dilemma between protective measures and social isolation in nursing homes during the Covid-19 pandemic
Background: Coronavirus pandemic (COVID-19) particularly affected older adults, with the highest risks for nursing home residents. Stringent governmental protective measures for nursing homes unintendedly led to social isolation of residents. Nursing home directors (NDs) found themselves in a dilemma between implementing protective measures and preventing the social isolation of nursing home residents. Objectives: The objectives of this study wer…
Context counts
Our findings highlight potential (de)activators of adolescents' resources, primarily those available within their social networks, in the development and practice of health literacy. Results contribute to the literature on adolescent health literacy by shedding light on the often under-described concept of context. Explicit consideration of context provides actionable insights for educators, healthcare providers, and policymakers seeking to suppo…
Broken bones and apple brandy
In early 2020, when the first COVID-19 cases were confirmed in Switzerland, the federal government started implementing measures such as national stay-at-home recommendations and a strict limitation of health care services use. General practitioners (GPs) and their at-risk patients faced similar uncertainties and grappled with subsequent sensemaking of the unprecedented situation. Qualitative interviews with 24 GPs and 37 at-risk patients were co…
The impact of the Covid-19 pandemic on the continuity of care for at-risk patients in Swiss primary care settings
Continuity of care is important for the health of aging individuals with comorbidities. When initial coronavirus mitigation campaigns involved messaging such as "Stay at home-stay safe," and banned provision of non-urgent care, at-risk patients depending upon regular consultations with general practitioners (GPs) faced confusion about the possibility of seeking non-COVID-19 related healthcare. We employed a sequential explanatory mixed-methods de…
Factors related to out-of-hours help-seeking for acute health problems
We identified several factors related to intended help-seeking in out-of-hours care. These results could be used to develop targeted interventions, but more research is needed to examine the underlying explanations for the identified differences
Appropriateness of bone density measurement in Switzerland
One out of four DXAs for screening purpose is potentially inappropriate. Stakeholders of osteoporosis screening campaigns should focus on providing more detailed information on appropriateness of DXA screening indications (e.g. age thresholds) in order to avoid DXA overuse
Enabling the Real-Time City
The increasing pervasiveness of urban systems and networks utilizing digital technologies for their operation generates enormous amounts of digital traces capable of reflecting in real-time how people make use of space and infrastructures in the city. This is not only transforming how we study, design, and manage cities but opens up new possibilities for tools that give people access to up-to-date information about urban dynamics, allowing them t…
