The evolutionary journey to a new normal for learning and capacity building of healthcare workers to prepare and respond to health emergencies across Africa
Background: Faced with the COVID-19 mobility restrictions, the WHO AFRO EPR program pioneered a collaborative initiative with Project ECHO to virtually educate health workers across Africa at scale. This initiative has evolved into a transformative learning journey. This paper aims to present the lessons learned. Results: = 43,221) indicated high relevance and applicability, with 97% of respondents planning to use the information in their work an…
The international development of the RGHQoL: A quality of life measure for recurrent genital herpes
The development and testing of the well-being index for surgical patients(Wisp)
Assessing the need for health status measures
Because herbicide use was common to the workers in this cohort, we speculated on the biological plausibility of phenoxy acid herbicide exposure and the increased risk of suicide
Perceived health: Age and sex comparisons in a community
The need to find accurate and reliable indicators on which to base the planning, provision, and evaluation of health services gave impetus to the attempt to develop reliable and valid measures of the perceived health status of the consumers of health care. Subjective measures can provide an important complement to traditional statistics by giving direct access to the personal feelings of discomfort or distress that influence the use of health ser…
The Nottingham health profile: Subjective health status and medical consultations
Reliability of a population survey tool for measuring perceived health problems: A study of patients with osteoarthrosis
A study is described which tested the reliability of the Nottingham Health Profile, a standardised measure of perceived health status suitable for use with both large groups and individual patients. Patients with osteoarthrosis, uncomplicated by other diagnosed conditions, were given the questionnaire to fill in on two separate occasions four weeks apart. Analysis of data showed that all sections of the profile achieved a high level of reliabilit…
A quantitative approach to perceived health status: A validation study
The current recognition of the importance of perceived health status as a predictor of need for, and utilisation of, health services has led to attempts to produce indicators which assess subjective rather than objective health problems. The development of the Nottingham Health Profile is described, together with a study which tested the validity of the instrument on four groups of elderly people differing in health status. The results showed tha…
