Comparison between model global AWaRe-based quality indicators and quality indicators developed to assess the appropriateness of antibiotic prescribing in primary healthcare in South Africa
Background/objectives Bacterial antimicrobial resistance represents a significant global public health challenge. Researchers from City St Georges, University of London, UK, developed global model sets of quality indicators, based on WHO AWaRe guidance, to improve future primary healthcare (PHC) prescribing. These were subsequently adapted to the PHC context in South Africa as an exemplar for developing countries. The study aimed to compare natio…
Public health financing in Brazil (2019–2022)
Introduction: The Unified Health System (SUS) in Brazil provides free, universal health services to all inhabitants of the country. This study aims to describe the allocation of public health resources in Brazil, both overall and across regions, based on National Health Fund (FNS) data from 2019 to 2022. The goal is to provide an understanding of the profile and distribution of resources sourced exclusively from the federal government during this…
Effectiveness and Feasibility of Workplace-Based Mental Health Interventions for University Academic Staff
Academic staff face workplace stressors such as high workloads, job insecurity, and limited institutional support, which contribute to psychological distress and burnout. While workplace-based interventions are important for maintaining well-being, their effectiveness in academic settings remains underexplored. This systematic review including qualitative, quantitative, and mixed methods studies synthesized evidence on individual-level mental hea…
Users’ Perspectives on Primary Care and Public Health Services in the State of Rio de Janeiro, Brazil
This study focuses on the Unified Health System (SUS) in five regions of the state of Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, one of Brazil's most important states, as part of a comprehensive analysis of a research project, which has generated publications in earlier phases. The objective was to assess users' perceptions of SUS in terms of access to and the quality of public health services, including primary care and pharmaceutical services. A cross-sectional s…
Users’ Perceptions of Access to and Quality of Public Health Services in Brazil
A universal health system should cover diverse regions with unique needs. However, 49.4% of participants stated they never received information on how to store their medicines, and 42.3% reported never encountering a pharmacist in public pharmacies. Further ongoing studies assessing user perceptions are essential to ensure users play a central role in health decision-making, contributing to the system's strengthening and improvement
Users’ Perceptions of Access to and Quality of Unified Health System Services in Brazil
Evaluating the access to and quality of healthcare services from the users' perspective is an important assessment process to identify priorities. This study assessed the profile of health service usage and the views of the Unified Health System (SUS) users about the access to and quality of SUS public health services. A cross-sectional study was conducted with participants from the Coastal Lowlands Region of the Rio de Janeiro State/Brazil, betw…
Covid-19 vaccine uptake and associated factors among adolescents and youths
Adolescents and youths are a key part of the population that needs to be protected against the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19). This is because they are more likely to spread the virus to vulnerable individuals. In view of these concerns, this study investigated the uptake of COVID-19 vaccines and associated factors among adolescents and youths attending secondary schools in Zambia. This cross-sectional study was conducted among 1500 school-g…
Low influenza vaccine uptake by healthcare workers caring for the elderly in South African old age homes and primary healthcare facilities
The main reasons behind low influenza vaccine uptake by HCWs in South Africa who care for the elderly were related to unavailability of the vaccine and vaccine hesitancy. Strategies to educate HCWs on the importance of influenza vaccination, while concurrently increasing sustained and easy access to the vaccine by HCWs are needed to preserve public health
Vaccine Hesitancy Drives Low Human Papillomavirus Vaccination Coverage in Girls Attending Public Schools in South Africa
Girls aged ≥9 years attending South African public sector schools are provided with free human papillomavirus (HPV) vaccination, through a schools-based programme. HPV vaccine misinformation spread via social media in 2014, was identified as a barrier to obtaining parental informed consent in some districts, including Sedibeng District, which subsequently had the lowest HPV vaccination coverage in Gauteng Province in 2018. This study investigated…
Misinformation Drives Low Human Papillomavirus Vaccination Coverage in South African Girls Attending Private Schools
Background: Cervical cancer, caused by persistent human papillomavirus (HPV) infection, is the leading cause of female cancer deaths in South Africa. In 2014, the South African National Department of Health introduced a free public sector school-based HPV vaccination programme, targeting grade 4 girls aged ≥9 years. However, private sector school girls receive HPV vaccination through their healthcare providers at cost. This study investigated HPV…
Promoting Healthy Ageing in South Africa Through Vaccination of the Elderly
The World Health Organization estimates that globally, the proportion of people aged ≥60 years will more than double by the year 2050, with the majority of elderly people living in low- and middle-income countries such as South Africa. Population ageing is an impending public health concern, potentially negatively impacting on South Africa's economy and health system if the government does not adequately prepare for this change. Globally, many po…
A multiple metrics approach to prioritizing strategies for measuring and managing reactive nitrogen in the San Joaquin Valley of California
Human alteration of the nitrogen cycle exceeds the safe planetary boundary for the use of reactive nitrogen (Nr). We complement global analysis by analyzing regional mass flows and the relative consequences of multiple chemical forms of Nr as they ‘cascade’ through multiple environmental media. The goals of this paper are (1) to identify the amounts of Nr that flow through a specific nitrogen rich region, (2) develop multiple metrics to character…
