Ethics and methods in disaster health research
Background: Disaster medicine operates in unstable, high-risk environments where operational, ethical, and contextual constraints frequently undermine traditional research designs. Although global health agendas increasingly emphasise person- and patient-centred care (PCC), these principles remain poorly articulated and rarely operationalised within disaster research. We aimed to examine how ethical tensions and methodological limitations shape t…
Security governance and health inequity in contemporary crises
Contemporary crises increasingly draw health systems, humanitarian access, medical supply chains, and civilian protection into security-oriented governance. While the health consequences of war and economic coercion, and geopolitical rivalry are widely documented, less attention has been paid to the discursive processes through which such consequences are rendered legitimate, unavoidable, or politically peripheral. This paper addresses this gap b…
Repercussions of a U.S. withdrawal from WHO will severely impact future global goals and performance
The US withdrawal from the World Health Organization involves the country ceasing its membership and financial contributions to the World Health Organization (WHO). This decision has several implications: The U.S. would save the funds it contributes to the global health body, which could be redirected to domestic health initiatives. It could also have more control over its health policies and responses without needing to align with the WHO guidel…
Assessing road network resilience and vulnerability in urban transport systems against urban flooding
Assessment of disaster preparedness for mass casualty incidents
Community-based flood mitigation in Malaysia
Background: Flooding is a frequent and devastating hazard in Malaysia, exacerbated by the country's tropical climate and rapid urbanisation. Traditional flood management strategies, predominantly focused on engineering solutions, have proven inadequate in addressing evolving flood risks. Community-based flood mitigation (CBFM) has emerged as an alternative approach, leveraging local knowledge and public participation to enhance flood resilience. …
Influence of experience, tenure, and organisational preparedness on nurses' readiness in responding to disasters
Background: The coronavirus 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic has placed unprecedented challenges on the nursing practice, particularly in Poland. Nurses, as crucial healthcare service providers, have faced organisational disruptions, altered working conditions, and heightened professional anxieties. Methods: We undertook a comprehensive survey across all medical centres in Lublin, Poland in 2020 to understand nurses' attitudes towards their roles and wor…
Effectiveness of the policy for organising self-evacuation by private vehicle transport, as verified in microsimulations
Global public health leadership
T he World Health Organization (WHO) and the International Health Regulations Treaty (IHRT) are responsible for modelling global public health crises, and management and mitigation of their consequences. However, both duties are delivered in all nations by their national public health systems. Therefore, the implementation of public health policies at the national level depends on the public trust of the national authorities. A trustful relations…
Objective and Subjective Stress Parameters in Response to High and Low-Fidelity Simulation Activities
Nursing graduates are required to have both excellent theoretical and practical skills that should be used during stressful emergency interventions. Since the received knowledge should be practiced to gain skills and trained to achieve competences, simulation exercises can be beneficial to even reduce the stress that each individual may face during emergency management of patients. A total of 146 first-year nursing students participated in the st…
Estimating the Number of Civilian Casualties in Modern Armed Conflicts–A Systematic Review
Objective: To examine the possibility of estimating the number of civilian casualties in modern armed conflicts. Methods: A systematic review was conducted following the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses guidelines, using PubMed, Scopus, and Web of Science search engines. The outcome was analyzed using a qualitative inductive thematic analysis. The scientific evidence of selected article was assessed, using the He…
Unrecognized risks and challenges of water as a major focus of Covid-19 spread
Wastewater is a major social and environmental issue that has detrimental impacts on human health, economic productivity, and the ecosystem, but may also be a crucial factor in spreading COVID-19 if left untreated
A Cross-Sectional Study on the Flood Emergency Preparedness among Healthcare Providers in Saudi Arabia
This study used a descriptive cross-sectional methodology to measure healthcare workers' knowledge, attitudes, perceptions, and willingness to respond to a flood scenario in Saudi Arabia. A validated survey was distributed to collect data using a convenience sampling technique through multiple social media platforms. A total of 227 participants were included in this study: 52% of them were aged between 26 to 34 years, 74% were residents from Riya…
Analysis of Suicide Methods and Substances Influencing the State of Consciousness of Their Victims in Poland
An integral part of the World Health Organization's (WHO) mental health action plan for 2013-2020 is suicide prevention, and a 10% reduction in the suicide rate. A key element of the preventive measures taken is, among other things, limiting access to means enabling and facilitating committing suicide. However, this requires detailed knowledge of community suicide patterns and preferences. Unfortunately, such information is not usually collected,…
Importance of Immediate Electronic-Based Feedback to Enhance Feedback for First-Time CPR Trainees
Sudden cardiac arrest is one of the leading causes of death globally. The recommended clinical management in out-of-hospital cardiac arrest cases is the immediate initiation of high-quality cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR). Training mannequins should be combined with technology that provides students with detailed immediate feedback on the quality of CPR performance. This study aimed to verify the impacts of the type of feedback (basic or deta…
The importance of pre-training gap analyses and the identification of competencies and skill requirements of medical personnel for mass casualty incidents and disaster training
Pre-Training gap analyses and identification of participants' competencies and skills should be conducted prior to training in mass casualty incidents and disasters. Such analyses provides an opportunity to develop training curriculum at various skill and knowledge levels from basic to advance. All training in mass casualty incidents and disasters should be subject to ongoing, not just periodic, evaluation, in order to assess continued competency
Maintaining Social Distancing during the Covid-19 Outbreak
The analyses of the European Centre for Disease Prevention and Control and an increasing amount of scientific research show that the spread of SARS-CoV-2 may be limited by maintaining social distancing, appropriate hand hygiene, and following the basic principles of prophylaxis. While simulating models applied to social distancing have all been tested and evaluated, the implementation of its guidelines in different traditions and cultures has not…
Alcohol and the Risk of Railway Suicide
Suicide is one of the ten most common causes of death in the world. Of all deaths from suicide, 22% can be attributed to the use of alcohol, which means that every fifth suicide would not occur if alcohol were not consumed by the population. People under the influence of alcohol choose more radical and effective methods of dying by suicide, e.g., throwing themselves under a moving vehicle, such as a train. The presented analysis aimed to determin…
Evacuation from Healthcare Facilities in Poland
Medical facilities, while providing both essential and demanding health care to society’s most vulnerable populations, also belong to the most demanding category of risk to human life if and when a crisis event occurs within its walls. The development of a safe evacuation plan for these facilities is extremely complicated, as the evacuation of medical facilities is much more complex than for other critical infrastructure. In this category, the ev…
Alcohol and Road Accidents Involving Pedestrians as Unprotected Road Users
According to the World Health Organization (WHO), more than half of all road fatalities involve vulnerable road users, i.e., pedestrians, cyclists, and motorcyclists. Poland is classified as one of the European Union (EU) countries marked by low road safety, with a higher frequency of accidents involving pedestrians compared to other EU countries (31% of all fatalities). Among unprotected road users, a significant group of victims are pedestrians…
The Effect of Ethyl Alcohol upon Pedestrian Trauma Sustained in Traffic Crashes
Among pedestrians, victims of road crashes who were under the influence of alcohol were predominantly drunk young males. Victims under the influence of alcohol were more likely to become fatalities in crashes where the mechanism of the incident was being struck by a passenger car, and when the place of the incident was a rural area, in these cases the rates of death directly at the scene were much more frequent. The eradication of alcohol consump…
Challenges in Implementing Sendai Framework for Disaster Risk Reduction in Poland
Currently, weather conditions and extreme weather are becoming more frequent and more intense. Along with climate change, the vulnerability of society and individual regions to the risk of various types of threats also increases. The objectives of "The Sendai Framework for Disaster Risk Reduction 2015-2030", are the first global political frameworks of the United Nations program designed for the period post-2015. The original priority objectives …
Seasonality of Suicides among Victims Who Are under the Influence of Alcohol
The results of the analysis seem to be consistent with seasonal patterns observed in other studies, and they indicate the occurrence of suicide seasonality. In order to improve the strategies of suicide prevention, it is necessary to identify factors which are related to the seasonal variation of suicidal behaviours, as well as to gain knowledge about the mechanisms behind this phenomenon
