Epidemiological and clinical characteristics of long Covid-19 among Iranians: A community-based study in southern Iran
Our investigation sheds light on long-term aspects of COVID-19, demonstrating a significant prevalence of LC with diverse manifestations. It also underscores the importance of establishing standardized criteria and control groups in research on LC to address challenges related to heterogeneity and potential overestimation of symptoms
Text analysis of billboards and infographic graphics advertising Covid-19 on promoting preventive behaviors and taking vaccination against the coronavirus pandemic and investigating the opinions of th…
It can be concluded that the use of the appropriate pattern of medical advertising discourse and correct communication strategies, will help public participation in the field of epidemic control. The language of effective health education and health communication during an epidemic must be related to the ways of thinking and speaking of ordinary people. Also, words with metaphorical and ironic meanings have a high potential to influence the healt…

In the spring of 2020, remote Indigenous communities in the far north-western region of Saskatchewan, Canada, experienced a COVID-19 outbreak that required the collaboration of local leaders, Indigenous governments, and other multi-sectoral organizations. This study shares the stories of those involved in the response and illustrates the challenges, successes, and recommendations for future emergency preparedness. A total of 22 participants were …
Community and Public Health Responses to a Covid-19 Outbreak in North-west Saskatchewan: Challenges, Successes, and Lessons Learned
In spring 2020, Indigenous communities in north-west Saskatchewan, Canada, experienced the first significant outbreak of COVID-19. Through the collective efforts of public health measures by local, provincial, federal, and community partners, COVID-19 impacts were mitigated, and the severity of the outbreak in north-west Saskatchewan was limited. This article outlines the epidemiological profile of COVID-19 in the area during this period, and the…
Development of a Patient-Oriented Intervention to Support Patient-Provider Conversations about Unnecessary Lower Back Pain Imaging
the lower back pain patient-developed prescription pad may help patients and clinicians engage in informed conversations and shared decision making that could support reduce unnecessary lower back pain imaging
Recommendations to improve patient‐centred care for ductal carcinoma in situ: Qualitative focus groups with women
BACKGROUND: Patient-centred care (PCC) improves health-care experiences and outcomes. Women with ductal carcinoma in situ (DCIS) and clinicians have reported communication difficulties. Little prior research has studied how to improve communication and PCC for DCIS. OBJECTIVE: This study explored how to achieve PCC for DCIS. DESIGN: Canadian women treated for DCIS from five provinces participated in semi-structured focus groups based on a 6-domai…
