Perceptions of age and aging in the context of medical decision-making. A qualitative, case-vignette-based focus group study with physicians, nursing staff and seniors
Background While interactions between the perception of one’s own age and different parameters of health and health behavior are well-researched, only few publications focus on perceptions of old age in the context of medical decision-making. Therefore, we examined how old age is perceived by physicians, nursing staff, and people aged 75 or older in the context of medical decision-making. Methods The study employed a qualitative research design, …

The Impact of Covid-19 Vaccination on the Social Participation of Immunocompromised Persons – Results of a Multicenter Observational Study
Immunocompromised persons are at an increased risk for a severe SARS-CoV-2 infection and their safety behaviors may influence their social participation. Vaccinated persons have a lower incidence of infection and severe disease when infected compared to non-vaccinated persons. Therefore, their behavior may change and their social participation may increase after a complete vaccination. The aim of this study was to explore social participation of …
Development and Validation of a Questionnaire to Assess Social Participation of High Risk-Adults in Germany During the Covid-19 Pandemic
Background: Restrictions to contain the COVID-19 pandemic affect the social participation of people worldwide. Especially those at high risk for a severe disease tend to abstain from social gatherings. While there are a few questionnaires to measure social participation in elderly or chronic patients, a valid survey instrument that includes pandemic-related social participation is needed. Methods: We developed a social participation questionnaire…
Social participation and mental health of immunocompromised individuals before and after Covid-19 vaccination–Results of a longitudinal observational study over three time points
It is unclear why social participation increased after basic vaccination. Perceived vaccine efficacy and a feeling of being protected by the vaccine may have caused relaxed social distancing behaviors. Reducing safety behaviors may, however, increase the risk of a COVID-19 infection for immunocompromised individuals. Further investigations are needed to explore the health-related consequences of more social participation among immunocompromised p…
Disease burden in a large cohort of asylum seekers and refugees in Germany
BACKGROUND: Currently, health care systems worldwide are challenged with providing care to an increasing number of migrants, refugees, and displaced persons. In this article, we report on disease burden and drug prescription patterns in a large refugee cohort in Germany. METHODS: We conducted a cross-sectional study of anonymized medical records including demographic data, diagnoses, and drug prescriptions in two refugee reception centres between…
Factors Influencing the Frequency of Airway Infections in Underage Refugees
Background : Infections are a leading cause of refugee morbidity. Recent data on the rate of airway infections and factors influencing their spread in refugee reception centers is scarce. Methods : A retrospective, cross-sectional study of de-identified medical records with a focus on respiratory infections in underage refugees was conducted at two large German refugee reception centers. Results : In total, medical data from n = 10,431 refugees o…
Medical Characteristics of Foreign Language Patients in Paramedic Care
Our findings suggest that the existing preventive programs for pregnant women and people at risk of suicide do not sufficiently reach patients with limited German proficiency. Additionally, giving birth and psychiatric breakdowns are exceptional and sensitive situations, both for patients and the paramedic staff, where the ability to communicate safely appears to be of enormous importance to enable safe treatment
