A bit of a cough, tired, not very resilient – is that already Long-Covid?” perceptions and experiences of GPs with Long-Covid in year three of the pandemic. a qualitative interview study in Austria
Long-COVID will continue to preoccupy our health care systems for a long time to come, as new variants of COVID-19 will continue to produce new patients without adequate prevention strategies. Therefore, it is not a question of if but when good support for GPs and adequate care pathways for people with Long-COVID will be implemented. Specific contact points that are familiar with therapy-refractory postacute infection syndromes like the postacute…
Afrodiasporic Identities in Germany: Life-Stories of Millennial Women

Risk communication and community engagement with vulnerable groups: Perceptions of social-services CSOs during Covid-19
Risk communication enables people to be prepared, respond and recover from public health risks which can only be realized with a considerable amount of community engagement. Enabling community involvement is necessary in order to reach and protect vulnerable people during epidemics. In situations of acute emergency, it is difficult to reach everyone, which makes it necessary to work with intermediaries such as social and care facilities and civil…
Silvia Wojczewski, Relating Afro-Diasporic Identities in Germany: Life-Stories of Millennial Women
Aminata C., Maya K., Lafia T., Oxana Chi and Layla Zami are part of a middle class, highly educated, born in Germany and come from families of mixed African European heritages. The diasporic practices of the women range from Black political activism, practising “symbolic ethnicity” (Gans, 1979) through African garments, wearing their hair natural, music, cooking and celebrating feasts, to the practice of travelling to connect with kin and other A…
How to create more supportive supervision for primary healthcare: Lessons from Ngamiland district of Botswana: co-operative inquiry group
BACKGROUND: Supportive supervision is a way to foster performance, productivity, motivation, and retention of health workforce. Nevertheless there is a dearth of evidence of the impact and acceptability of supportive supervision in low- and middle-income countries. This article describes a participatory process of transforming the supervisory practice of district health managers to create a supportive environment for primary healthcare workers. O…
Diaspora engagement of African migrant health workers – examples from five destination countries
BACKGROUND: Migrant health workers fill care gaps in their destination countries, but they also actively engage in improving living conditions for people of their countries of origin through expatriate professional networks. This paper aims to explore the professional links that migrant health workers from sub-Saharan African countries living in five African and European destinations (Botswana, South Africa, Belgium, Austria, and the United Kingd…
Associations between the prevalence of influenza vaccination and patient’s knowledge about antibiotics: A cross-sectional study in the framework of the Apres-project in Austria
The results of this study demonstrate that vaccination prevalence is associated with patient's knowledge about antibiotics. It can be concluded that one strategy to improve the overall low vaccination rates for seasonal influenza in Austria would be, particularly for male GPs, to have a specific discussion with patients about these circumstances by focusing on younger patients. Further, public health efforts could supplement in-office strategies …
