Demographic Comparison of Information Security Behavior Toward Health Information System Protection: Survey Study
Authors: Sari Puspita Kencana , Handayani Putu Wuri , Hidayanto Achmad Nizar
Published: July 2023

Background

The health information system (HIS) functions are getting wider with more diverse users. Information security in the health industry is crucial because it involves comprehensive and strategic information that might harm human life. The human factor is one of the biggest security threats to HIS.

Objective

This study aims to investigate the information security behavior (ISB) of HIS users using a comprehensive assessment scale suited to the information security concerns in health care. Patients are increasingly being asked to submit their own data into HIS systems. As a result, this study examines the security behavior of health workers and patients, as well as their demographic variables.

Methods

We used a quantitative approach using surveys of health workers and patients. We created a research instrument from 4 existing measurement scales to measure prosecurity and antisecurity behavior. We analyzed statistical differences to test the hypotheses, that is, the Kruskal-Wallis test and the Mann-Whitney test. The descriptive analysis was used to determine whether the group exhibited exemplary behavior when processing the survey results. A correlational test using the Spearman correlation coefficient was performed to establish the significance of the relationship between ISB and age as well as level of education.

Results

We analyzed 421 responses from the survey. According to demographic factors, the hypotheses tested for full and partial security behavior reveal substantial differences. Education levels most significantly affect security behavior differences, followed by user type, gender, and age. The health workers’ ISB is higher than that of the patients. Women are more likely than men to engage in prosecurity actions while avoiding antisecurity behaviors. The older the HIS user, the more likely it is that they will participate in prosecurity behavior and the less probable it is that they will engage in antisecurity behavior. According to this study, differences in prosecurity behavior are mostly impacted by education level. Higher education, on the other hand, does not guarantee improved ISB for HIS users. All demographic characteristics, particularly concerning user type, show discrepancies that are caused mainly by antisecurity behavior rather than prosecurity behavior.

Conclusions

Since patients engage in antisecurity behavior more frequently than health workers and may pose security risks, health care facilities should start to consider information security education for patients. More comprehensive research on ISB in health care facilities is required to better understand the patient’s perspective, which is currently understudied.
Comparing the Effectiveness of a Web-Based Application With a Digital Live Seminar to Improve Safe Communication for Pregnant Women: 3-Group Partially Randomized Controlled Trial (Preprint)
Authors: Kötting Lukas , Derksen Christina , Keller Franziska Maria , Lippke Sonia
Published: July 2023

BACKGROUND

Medical internet interventions such as asynchronous apps and synchronous digital live seminars can be effective behavior change interventions. The research question of this study was whether digital interventions based on the Health Action Process Approach can improve pregnant women’s safe communication and patient safety in obstetric care.

OBJECTIVE

This study aims to compare a digital live seminar with a web-based application intervention and a passive control group and to identify which social cognitive variables determine safe communication behavior and patient safety.

METHODS

In total, 657 pregnant women were recruited, and hereof, 367 expectant mothers from 2 German university hospitals participated in the pre-post study (live seminar: n=142; web-based app: n=81; passive control group: n=144). All interventions targeted intention, planning, self-efficacy, and communication of personal preferences. The 2.5-hour midwife-assisted live seminar included exercises on empathy and clear communication. The fully automated web-based application consisted of 9 consecutive training lessons with the same content as that of the live seminar.

RESULTS

Controlled for sociodemographic characteristics, repeated measures analyses of covariance revealed that pregnant women significantly improved their self-reported communication behavior in all groups. The improvement was more pronounced after the digital live seminar than after the web-based application (P<.001; ηp2=0.043). Perceived patient safety improved more for pregnant women participating in the live seminar than for those participating in the web-based application group (P=.03 ηp2=0.015). A regression analysis revealed that social cognitive variables predicted safe communication behavior.

CONCLUSIONS

Overall, the web-based application intervention appeared to be less effective than the digital live training in terms of communication behavior. Application interventions addressing communication behaviors might require more face-to-face elements. Improving intention, coping planning, and coping self-efficacy appeared to be key drivers in developing safe communication behavior in pregnant women. Future research should include social learning aspects and focus on the practical application of medical internet interventions when aiming to improve pregnant women’s communication and patient safety in obstetrics.

Authors: Huang Gang , Cheng Wei , Xu Yun , Yang Jiezhe , Jiang Jun , Pan Xiaohong , Zhou Xin , Jiang Jianmin , Chai Chengliang
Published: July 2023

BACKGROUND

In recent years, the number and proportion of newly reported HIV/AIDS cases among older adults have increased dramatically. However, research on the pattern of temporal and spatial changes in newly reported HIV/AIDS among older adults remains limited.

OBJECTIVE

This study analyzed the spatial and temporal distribution of HIV/AIDS cases and its influencing factors among older adults in Eastern China from 2004 to 2021, with the goal of improving HIV/AIDS prevention and intervention.

METHODS

We extracted data on newly reported HIV/AIDS cases between 2004 and 2021 from a case-reporting system and used a Joinpoint regression model and an age-period-cohort model to analyze the temporal trends in HIV/AIDS prevalence. Spatial autocorrelation and geographically weighted regression models were used for spatial aggregation and influence factor analysis.

RESULTS

A total of 12,376 participants with HIV/AIDS were included in the study. The newly reported HIV infections among older adults increased from 0.13 cases per 100,000 people in 2004 to 7.00 cases per 100,000 people in 2021. The average annual percent change in newly reported HIV infections was 28.0% (95% CI –21.6% to 34.8%). The results of the age-period-cohort model showed that age, period, and cohort factors affected the newly reported HIV infections among older adults. The newly reported HIV/AIDS cases among men who have sex with men (MSM) had spatial clustering, and the hotspots were mainly concentrated in Hangzhou. The disposable income of urban residents, illiteracy rate among people aged 15 years or older, and number of hospital beds per 1000 residents showed a positive association with the newly reported HIV infections among older MSM in the Zhejiang province.

CONCLUSIONS

HIV/AIDS among older adults showed an increasing trend and was influenced by age, period, and cohort effects. Older MSM with HIV/AIDS showed regional clustering and was associated with factors such as the disposable income of urban residents, the illiteracy rate among people aged 15 years or older, and the number of hospital beds per 1000 people. Targeted prevention and control measures are needed to reduce HIV infection among those at higher risk.

Authors: SAOUD Bilal
Published: July 2023

Complex networks have in generally communities. These communities are very important. Network’s communities represent sets of nodes, which are very connected. In this research, we developed a new method to find the community structure in networks. Our method is based on flower pollination algorithm (FPA) witch is used in the splitting process. The splitting of networks in our method maximizes a function of quality called modularity. We provide a general framework for implementing our new method to find community structure in networks. We present the effectiveness of our method by comparison with some known methods on computer-generated and real-world networks.
Middle Leading Practices of Facilitation, Mentoring, and Coaching for Teacher Development: A Focus on Intent and Relationality
Authors: Edwards-Groves Christine , Attard Catherine , Grootenboer Peter , Tindall-Ford Sharon
Published: July 2023

While educational institutions are increasingly acknowledging the importance of middle leaders for improving teaching, there is little research on middle leaders’ specific leading practices compared with, for example, principals. Evidence delineating and describing specific middle leading practice is scant. Drawing on practice theory, this article presents preliminary results from the first phase of a four-year Australian project examining the “flow of influence” of middle leading practices on teacher development. Thematic analysis of interviews reveals the multidimensionality of middle leading, and specifically, ways in which the practices of facilitating, mentoring, and coaching are nuanced and distinctive in their arrangement, intent, and relationality. Results have important implications that cannot be ignored by school leaders and policymakers seeking to improve broader systemic support for building and refining middle leading practices.
RésuméBien que les établissements d’enseignement reconnaissent de plus en plus l’importance des cadres intermédiaires pour l’amélioration de l’enseignement, il existe peu de recherches sur le leadership de ces cadres relatives, par exemple, à celui des directeurs d’école. Les descriptions et analyses des pratiques spécifiques aux cadres intermédiaires sont rares. Cet article s’inspire de la théorie d’entraînement pour présenter les résultats préliminaires de la première étape d’un projet australien s’échelonnant sur quatre ans qui examine les « flux d’influence » des cadres intermédiaires sur le développement de l’enseignement. Une analyse thématique d’entretiens révèle le caractère multidimensionnel de la direction intermédiaire et, plus particulièrement, les manières dont la facilitation, le mentorat et l’accompagnement, en ce qui a trait à leur structure, leurs intentions et leur relationnalité, sont nuancés et distincts. Les résultats de cette recherche ont des implications importantes que ne peuvent pas ignorer les dirigeants et responsables des écoles qui cherchent à offrir un meilleur appui systémique pour améliorer et peaufiner les pratiques propres aux cadres intermédiaires.

Authors: Hersch Derek , Klemenhagen Kristen , Martin Casey , Berg Bjorn , Adam Patricia
Published: July 2023

Background and Objectives: Continuity of care between patients and their primary care providers is associated with improved patient outcomes and experience, decreased health care costs, and improved provider well-being. Strategies to enhance continuity of care in residency programs involve electronic health record, scheduling, and panel management methods. Our study compared physician-patient continuity rates (pre and post) for one family medicine residency’s implementation of a set-day clinic (SDC) scheduling model.
Methods: In July 2019, Bethesda Clinic switched from a rotation-driven scheduling (RDS) model to SDC. Physicians were divided into two scheduling groups: Monday, Thursday, or Friday; or Tuesday, Wednesday, or Friday. We used visit data from two 6-month periods, October 2018 to March 2019 (RDS) and October 2021 to March 2022 (SDC), to calculate continuity using the continuity for physician formula. We used t tests to compare mean continuity rates between the RDS and SDC periods. In June 2022, faculty and residents were emailed a nine-question survey about SDC.
Results: Adherence to the SDC model ranged from 65% to 76%. Postgraduate year (PGY) 3 residents’ continuity increased significantly (P<.001) from 44% (RDS) to 56% (SDC), while PGY2 residents’ continuity increased, nonsignificantly, from 38% to 43%. Among those that completed the survey, 94% of residents and 78% of faculty were in favor of SDC.
Conclusions: We demonstrated that SDC is feasible and well received by residents and faculty alike. Continuity was highest for PGY2 and PGY3 residents during the SDC period. Predictable clinic schedules have the potential to improve continuity in family medicine residency clinics and may improve physician well-being.

This study aims to determine the effectiveness of the show not tell technique on learning to write short stories in class XI Vocational School. The method used is one-group pretest-posttest design, which compares the experimental group before being given treatment (pretest) and after being treated (posttest). The research subjects were 33 Chemistry A class XI in Padalarang Vocational High School 4 as many as 33 people. The ability to write short stories is measured by writing tests composing short stories. The average value of pretest = 63.9, posttest average value = 73.7. There is an increase in the average value after treatment of: 73.7 - 63.9 = 9.8. The results of the pretest and posttest were then processed with SPSS, namely the normality test, variance homogeneity, and t test. The normality test obtained the P-Value (sig.) Value of the pretest value of 0.068, the posttest value of 0.072. P-Value (sig.) 5 0.05, meaning that both data are normally distributed. Test for homogeneity of P-Value (sig.) 0.661. Because P-Value (sig.) Is greater than 0.05, Ho is accepted, meaning that the variants of the two groups of values compared are homogeneous. The t-test of the sample is correlated, the value of Sig is obtained. (2 tailed) of 0,000. because t count ï€¾ t table = 59.822 ï€¾ 2.036 then Ho is rejected and Ha is accepted, meaning that there is an increase between the learning outcomes of writing short stories before and after using the show not tell technique.

Learning to write poetry by using an acrostic technique on the class X students in SMK. The background problem in this research is that most students are not interested in writing poetry because poetry is considered as difficult; they have difficulty finding imagination and figurative words. The researchers have three research objectives based on this problem. Namely to describe the teachers and students activities when learning to write poetry by using an acrostic technique, to describe students' responses on learning to write poetry using an acrostic technique, to discover the difference between the results of the initial test and the final test in class X students at SMK. In this research, the Pre-Experimental Designs (non-design) method of one group pretest-posttest design is used and a research towards a class with 28 students is conducted. Observations, tests, and questionnaires are used as the research techniques. The results of the data obtained are the increase in student value. The average value before using the acrostic technique is 40.35 and the average value after using the acrostic technique in learning to write poetry is 79.00, the significance value indicates 0,000 based on the t test. The value is smaller than 0.05, thus the data is different from the results of the initial test and the final test. In other words, H0 is rejected and Ha is accepted. Thus, it can be concluded that learning to write poetry using an acrostic technique increases students' ability to write poetry.

Poetry is one of the materials in Indonesian-language-curriculum subject especially in Junior High School level. However, based on the field studies result, students still have difficulties to understand about poetry concepts. Therefore, researchers have submitted a solution for students to understand that concept of poetry can be easier by applying â€˜Metaphorical Thinkingâ€™ approach that learns about the knowledge of poetry. The purpose of this research is to find out if Metaphorical Thinking approach is better in helping student to understand concept of poetry more than student who learns using conventional approach. The research method used is quasi experiment which means Nonequivalent Control Group Design. Furthermore, the samples in this research is 20 students of eight-grade from Innovative Al-Ibda Junior High School. Moreover, the technic of data analysis for students test result is by using SPSS 23. Based on the results in SPSS 23, it turned out that experiments class using Metaphorical Thinking approach gained better study result than control class. That result was proved by value Sig 0,000<0,05 in Independent Samples Test table. That result is also accorded with obtaining post-test average value in experiment class which is 80,5 while the average of control class is 64.

The recent case of the E-KTP procurement project has attracted a lot of public attention. In this study, the author focused on the object of research on the involvement of the PDI-P Party in this mega corruption case. The PDI-P party is President Jokowi's bearer party in the 2014 presidential election. In this case, Novanto stated that he was involved in this case and even became the main suspect in the E-KTP procurement project. Language tools used as a method in analyzing the object of this research are Framing Analysis. Basically, framing is a method for viewing media telling stories about events. News that contains framing does not mean that the news is false news. In framing a news, the information obtained by a journalist is processed by constructing the contents of the news and presenting it to the public. Some are highlighted and some are excluded. This depends on how journalists interpret an event, and how a fact from that information is written.Keywords: Framing Analysis, E-KTP Procurement Project

Â ABSTRACTIn the interest of increasing student understanding, teachers are expected to be able to select and sort out various methods, models, and approaches that are appropriate to current circumstances. Applying an appropriate learning approach is expected to minimize boredom in learning activities. The purpose of this study is that teachers are expected to be able to apply a contextual approach to the learning outcomes that will be obtained by students. The method used in this research is descriptive statistical analysis, which describes learning outcomes through data in the form of diagrams taken from several student questionnaires and teacher interviews. The results showed that students' understanding of the material before applying the contextual approach to learning outcomes was the limited understanding of students regarding the description text material. It can be concluded that the application of the contextual approach for students needs to be improved again.ABSTRAKDemi kepentingan meningkatkan pemahaman peserta didik, guru diharapkan mampu memilih dan memilah berbagai metode, model maupun pendekatan yang sesuai dengan keadaan saat ini. Dengan menerapkan pendekatan pembelajaran yang sesuai diharapkan dapat meminimalisir rasa bosan terhadap kegiatan pembelajaran. Tujuan dari penelitian ini adalah guru diharapkan dapat menerapkan pendekatan kontekstual terhadap hasil belajar yang akan diperoleh peserta didik. Metode yang digunakan dalam penelitian ini analisis statistik deskriptif, yaitu mendeskripsikan hasil belajar melalui data berupa diagram yang diambil dari angket sejumlah siswa dan wawancara guru. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa pemahaman peserta didik akan materi sebelum penerapan pendekatan kontekstual terhadap hasil belajar yaitu keterbatasannya pemahaman peserta didik terkait materi teks deskripsi. Dapat disimpulkan bahwa penerapan pendekatan kontekstual bagi peserta didik perlu ditingkatkan kembali.
