Bridging the gap between intention and action
Purpose The Global University Entrepreneurial Spirit Students' Survey (GUESSS) reveals a striking paradox: while over 50% of university students globally have entrepreneurial ambitions, fewer than 10% take tangible steps towards achieving these goals. A significant factor contributing to this gap is procrastination, a pervasive issue among university students. It has been identified as a major barrier to both academic and entrepreneurial success.…
Incidence, healthcare-seeking behavior and barriers associated with seeking care for severe childhood pneumonia in rural Bangladesh
Globally, childhood pneumonia is one of the leading causes of under-five mortality especially in low-and middle-income countries. This study aimed to estimate the incidence, healthcare-seeking behavior, and barriers associated with seeking care for children suffering from severe pneumonia in rural Bangladesh. A prospective study was conducted in two districts at 81 randomly selected villages in rural Bangladesh. We collected data on 12,303 under-…
Sociodemographic and maternal health-related factors associated with mortality among children under three in Bangladesh
Higher odds of U3 child mortality were associated with mothers who did not use contraceptives, delivered vaginally, and were aged 30-39 years in Bangladesh. Conversely, higher maternal education and larger family size were associated with lower odds of U3 child mortality. The findings suggest that community-based family planning awareness programs focused on contraceptive use, as it prevents childbirth and is also a marker of health service usage
Use of Framework Matrix and Thematic Coding Methods in Qualitative Analysis for mHealth
Objective: Framework Analysis (FA) and Applied Thematic Analysis (ATA) are qualitative methods that have not been as widely used/cited compared to content analysis or grounded theory. This paper compares methods of FA with ATA for mobile health (mHealth) research. The same qualitative data were analyzed separately using each methodology. The methods, utility, and results of each are compared, and recommendations made for their effective use. Meth…
Association of Socio-Demographic and Climatic Factors with the Duration of Hospital Stay of Under-Five Children with Severe Pneumonia in Urban Bangladesh
Severe pneumonia is one of the leading contributors to morbidity and deaths among hospitalized under-five children. We aimed to assess the association of the socio-demographic characteristics of the patients and the climatic factors with the length of hospital stay (LoS) of under-five children with severe pneumonia managed at urban hospitals in Bangladesh. We extracted relevant data from a clinical trial, as well as collecting data on daily tempe…
Clinical Characteristics and Underlying Factors Related to Recovery from Severe Pneumonia in Under-Five Children with or without Malnutrition Treated at Health Care Facilities in Bangladesh
Severe pneumonia with co-morbidity of malnutrition is one of the leading causes of death among children younger than five years of age. We aimed to compare the clinical features related to recovery from severe pneumonia in malnourished and well-nourished under-five children. A significantly lesser proportion of malnourished children compared to well-nourished recovered from rapid breathing (86.5% vs. 90.2%; p = 0.035), chest wall in-drawing (90.5…
