Chinese Public’s Engagement in Preventive and Intervening Health Behaviors During the Early Breakout of COVID-19: Cross-Sectional Study
Authors: Niu Zhaomeng , Wang Tingting , Hu Pengwei , Mei Jing , Tang Zhihan
Published: July 2020

Background

Since January 2020, the coronavirus disease (COVID-19) swept over China and then the world, causing a global public health crisis. People’s adoption of preventive and intervening behaviors is critical in curbing the spread of the virus.

Objective

The aim of this study is to evaluate Chinese people’s adoption of health behaviors in responding to COVID-19 and to identify key determinants for their engagement.

Methods

An anonymous online questionnaire was distributed in early February 2020 among Mainland Chinese (18 years or older) to examine their engagement in preventive behaviors (eg, frequent handwashing, wearing masks, staying at home) and intervening behaviors (eg, advising family to wash hands frequently), and to explore potential determinants for their adoption of these health behaviors.

Results

Out of 2949 participants, 55.3% (n=1629) reported frequent engagement in preventive health behaviors, and over 84% (n=2493) performed at least one intervening health behavior. Greater engagement in preventive behaviors was found among participants who received higher education, were married, reported fewer barriers and greater benefits of engagement, reported greater self-efficacy and emotional support, had greater patient-centered communication before, had a greater media literacy level, and had greater new media and traditional media use for COVID-19 news. Greater engagement in intervening behaviors was observed among participants who were married, had lower income, reported greater benefits of health behaviors, had greater patient-centered communication before, had a lower media literacy level, and had a greater new media and traditional media use for COVID-19 news.

Conclusions

Participants’ engagement in coronavirus-related preventive and intervening behaviors was overall high, and the associations varied across demographic and psychosocial variables. Hence, customized health interventions that address the determinants for health behaviors are needed to improve people’s adherence to coronavirus-related behavior guidelines.

Authors: Liu Dong , Wang Yuyan , Wang Juan , Liu Jue , Yue Yongjie , Liu Wenjun , Zhang Fuhai , Wang Ziping
Published: July 2020

Background

The number of deaths worldwide caused by coronavirus disease (COVID-19) is increasing rapidly. Information about the clinical characteristics of patients with COVID-19 who were not admitted to hospital is limited. Some risk factors of mortality associated with COVID-19 are controversial (eg, smoking). Moreover, the impact of city closure on mortality and admission rates is unknown.

Objective

The aim of this study was to explore the risk factors of mortality associated with COVID-19 infection among a sample of patients in Wuhan whose conditions were reported on social media.

Methods

We enrolled 599 patients with COVID-19 from 67 hospitals in Wuhan in the study; 117 of the participants (19.5%) were not admitted to hospital. The demographic, epidemiological, clinical, and radiological features of the patients were extracted from their social media posts and coded. Telephone follow-up was conducted 1 month later (between March 15 and 23, 2020) to check the clinical outcomes of the patients and acquire other relevant information.

Results

The median age of patients with COVID-19 who died (72 years, IQR 66.5-82.0) was significantly higher than that of patients who recovered (61 years, IQR 53-69, P<.001). We found that lack of admission to hospital (odds ratio [OR] 5.82, 95% CI 3.36-10.1; P<.001), older age (OR 1.08, 95% CI 1.06-1.1; P<.001), diffuse distribution (OR 11.09, 95% CI 0.93-132.9; P=.058), and hypoxemia (odds ratio 2.94, 95% CI 1.32-6.6; P=.009) were associated with increasing odds of death. Smoking was not significantly associated with mortality risk (OR 0.9, 95% CI 0.44-1.85; P=.78).

Conclusions

Older age, diffuse distribution, and hypoxemia are factors that can help clinicians identify patients with COVID-19 who have poor prognosis. Our study suggests that aggregated data from social media can also be comprehensive, immediate, and informative in disease prognosis.
Assessing YouTube as an Educational Tool for Shingles: Cross-Sectional Study
Authors: Dunnsiri Teevit , Kawashita Takumi , Lee Sharon C , Monga Aaron Kumar , Woo Benjamin K P
Published: July 2020

Background

YouTube is a popular platform with many videos, which have potential educational value for medical students. Due to the lack of peer review, other surrogates are necessary to determine the content quality of such educational videos. Few studies have analyzed the research background or academic affiliation of the physicians associated with the production of YouTube videos for medical education. The research background or academic affiliations of those physicians may be a reflection of the content quality of these educational videos.

Objective

This study identifies physicians associated with the production of educational YouTube videos about shingles and analyzes those physicians based on their research background or academic affiliation, which may be good surrogates for video content quality.

Methods

Using the YouTube search engine with default settings, the term “shingles” was searched on May 8, 2020. A cross-sectional study was performed using the first 50 search results. A search on Scopus for each identified physician was performed, and data regarding their research background and academic affiliation were recorded.

Results

Of the 50 YouTube videos, 35 (70%) were categorized as academic. Of the 35 academic videos, 24 (71%) videos featured physicians, totaling 25 physicians overall. Out of these 25 physicians, 5 (20%) had at least 1 shingles-related publication and 8 (32%) had an h-index >10. A total of 21 (84%) physicians held an academic affiliation.

Conclusions

These results ensure to a certain degree the quality of the content in academic videos on YouTube for medical education. However, further evaluation is needed for this growing platform.
Evaluation of the Perceived Persuasiveness Questionnaire: User-Centered Card-Sort Study
Authors: Beerlage-de Jong Nienke , Kip Hanneke , Kelders Saskia Marion
Published: July 2020

Background

eHealth technologies aim to change users’ health-related behavior. Persuasive design and system features can make an eHealth technology more motivating, engaging, or supportive to its users. The Persuasive Systems Design (PSD) model incorporates software features that have the possibility to increase the persuasiveness of technologies. However, the effects of specific PSD software features on the effectiveness of an intervention are still largely unknown. The Perceived Persuasiveness Questionnaire (PPQ) was developed to gain insight into the working mechanisms of persuasive technologies. Although the PPQ seems to be a suitable method for measuring subjective persuasiveness, it needs to be further evaluated to determine how suitable it is for measuring perceived persuasiveness among the public.

Objective

This study aims to evaluate the face and construct validity of the PPQ, identify points of improvement, and provide suggestions for further development of the PPQ.

Methods

A web-based closed-ended card-sort study was performed wherein participants grouped existing PPQ items under existing PPQ constructs. Participants were invited via a Massive Open Online Course on eHealth. A total of 398 people (average age 44.15 years, SD 15.17; 251/398, 63.1% women) completed the card sort. Face validity was evaluated by determining the item-level agreement of the original PPQ constructs. Construct validity was evaluated by determining the construct in which each item was placed most often, regardless of the original placement and how often 2 items were (regardless of the constructs) paired together and what interitem correlations were according to a cluster analysis.

Results

Four PPQ constructs obtained relatively high face validity scores: perceived social support, use continuance, perceived credibility, and perceived effort. Item-level agreement on the other constructs was relatively low. Item-level agreement for almost all constructs, except perceived effort and perceived effectiveness, would increase if items would be grouped differently. Finally, a cluster analysis of the PPQ indicated that the strengths of the newly identified 9 clusters varied strongly. Unchanged strong clusters were only found for perceived credibility support, perceived social support, and use continuance. The placement of the other items was much more spread out over the other constructs, suggesting an overlap between them.

Conclusions

The findings of this study provide a solid starting point toward a redesigned PPQ that is a true asset to the field of persuasiveness research. To achieve this, we advocate that the redesigned PPQ should adhere more closely to what persuasiveness is according to the PSD model and to the mental models of potential end users of technology. The revised PPQ should, for example, enquire if the user thinks anything is done to provide task support but not how this is done exactly.
Real-World Evidence on the Effect of Missing an Oral Contraceptive Dose: Analysis of Internet Search Engine Queries
Authors: Hochberg Irit , Orshalimy Sharon , Yom-Tov Elad
Published: July 2020

Background

Oral contraceptives (OCs) are a unique chronic medication with which a memory slip may result in a threat that could change a person’s life course. Subjective concerns of missed OC doses among women have been addressed infrequently. Anonymized queries to internet search engines provide unique access to concerns and information gaps faced by a large number of internet users.

Objective

We aimed to quantitate the frequency of queries by women seeking information in an internet search engine, after missing one or more doses of an OC; their further queries on emergency contraception, abortion, and miscarriage; and their rate of reporting a pregnancy timed to the cycle of missing an OC.

Methods

We extracted all English-language queries submitted to Bing in the United States during 2018, which mentioned a missed OC and subsequent queries of the same users on miscarriage, abortion, emergency contraceptives, and week of pregnancy.

Results

We identified 26,395 Bing users in the United States who queried about missing OC pills and the fraction that further queried about miscarriage, abortion, emergency contraceptive, and week of pregnancy. Users under the age of 30 years who asked about forgetting an OC dose were more likely to ask about abortion (1.5 times) and emergency contraception (1.7 times) (P<.001 for both), while users at ages of 30-34 years were more likely to query about pregnancy (2.1 times) and miscarriage (5.4 times) (P<.001 for both).

Conclusions

Our data indicate that many women missing a dose of OC might not have received sufficient information from their health care providers or chose to obtain it online. Queries about abortion and miscarriage peaking in the subsequent days indicate a common worry of possible pregnancy. These results reinforce the importance of providing comprehensive written information on missed pills when prescribing an OC.
Impact of the COVID-19 Pandemic on the Education of Plastic Surgery Trainees in the United States
Authors: Hamidian Jahromi Alireza , Arnautovic Alisa , Konofaos Petros
Published: July 2020

The current COVID-19 pandemic has vastly impacted the health care system in the United States, and it is continuing to dictate its unprecedented influence on the education systems, especially the residency and fellowship training programs. The impact of COVID-19 on these training programs has not been uniform across the board, with plastic surgery residency and fellowship programs among the hardest hit specialties. Implementation of social distancing regulations has affected departmental educational activities, including preoperative, morbidity and mortality conferences and journal clubs; operating room educational activities; as well as the overall education of plastic surgery trainees in the United States. Almost all elective and semielective surgeries across the United States were suspended for a few months during the COVID-19 pandemic; this constitutes a significant portion of plastic surgery cases. Considering the current staged reopening policies, it may be a long time, if ever, before restrictions are completely lifted. In this paper, we review the multidimensional impact of the current COVID-19 pandemic on the training programs of plastic surgery residents and fellows in the United States and worldwide, along with some potential solutions on how to address existing challenges.
Utility and Perceived Value of a Provincial Digital Diagnostic Imaging Repository: Multimethod Study (Preprint)
Authors: Wickerson Lisa , Fujioka Jamie K , Kishimoto Vanessa , Jamieson Trevor , Fine Ben , Bhatia R Sacha , Desveaux Laura
Published: July 2020

BACKGROUND

Timely and comprehensive diagnostic image sharing across institutional and regional boundaries can produce multiple benefits while supporting integrated models of care. In Ontario, Canada, the Diagnostic Imaging Common Service (DICS) was created as a centralized imaging repository to enable the sharing and viewing of diagnostic images and associated reports across hospital-based and community-based clinicians throughout the province.

OBJECTIVE

The aims of this study were as follows: (1) to explore real-world utilization and perceived clinical value of the DICS following the provision of system-wide access and (2) to identify strategies to optimize the technology platform functionality and encourage adoption.

METHODS

This multimethod study included semistructured interviews with physicians and administrative stakeholders and descriptive analysis of the
current DICS usage data.

RESULTS

In this study, 41 participants were interviewed, that is, 34 physicians and 7 administrative stakeholders. The following 4 key themes emerged: (1) utilization of the DICS depended on the awareness of the technology and the preferred channels for accessing images, which varied widely, (2) clinical responsibilities and available institutional resources were the drivers of utilization (or lack thereof), (3) centralized image repositories were perceived to offer value at the patient, clinician, and health care system levels, and (4) the enabling factors to realize value included aspects of technology infrastructure (ie, available functionality) alongside policy supports. High-volume DICS usage was not evenly distributed throughout the province.

CONCLUSIONS

Suboptimal adoption of the DICS was driven by poor awareness and variations in the clinical workflow. Alignment with physician workflow, policy supports, and investment in key technological features and infrastructure would improve functionality and data comprehensiveness, thereby optimizing health system performance, patient and provider experience, population health, and health care costs.
A Companion App to Support Rheumatology Patients Treated with Certolizumab Pegol: Results From a Usability Study (Preprint)
Authors: Domańska Barbara , Vansant Stijn , Mountian Irina
Published: July 2020

BACKGROUND

Certolizumab pegol (CZP) is an anti-tumor necrosis factor drug approved for the treatment of multiple moderate to severe chronic inflammatory diseases. In the European Union, CZP is approved for administration by subcutaneous self-injection using a prefilled syringe, prefilled pen, or reusable electromechanical auto-injector (electronic device). CimplyMe is a companion app for use alongside CZP self-injection devices, designed to support CZP-treated patients self-managing their treatment and disease.

OBJECTIVE

This study aimed to validate the usability of the companion app by demonstrating that tasks required for use can be performed successfully by intended end users.

METHODS

We recruited 15 patients with moderate to severe rheumatoid arthritis, currently prescribed biologic treatment, and using apps on a smart phone. Patients were assessed on their ability to use the companion app in a setting designed to simulate a location where patients regularly administer biologic treatment. To assess the usability of the key features of the app, 8 critical and 3 noncritical tasks were designed. Patients’ success on each task was recorded through observations or knowledge-based questions. Successes with difficulty and use errors were also recorded. If a patient made a use error at the first attempt, a second attempt was allowed. Second-attempt use errors were recorded as a task failure.

RESULTS

A total of 207 first attempts at the 14 components of the 8 critical tasks were evaluated (3 patients failed to complete one component); 178 (86.0%) critical tasks were successfully completed at the first attempt. The remaining first attempts comprised 16 (7.7%) successes with difficulty and 13 (6.3%) use errors, which had to be repeated. One critical task was not re-attempted by one patient due to time constraints; however, there were no use errors in the 12 completed second attempts. A total of 107 first attempts at the 3 noncritical tasks were made, all of which (107/107, 100.0%) were completed without use errors.

CONCLUSIONS

In simulated testing, patients were able to successfully use the companion app without formal training. This study suggests the companion app is easy to use and could help patients prescribed CZP better manage their treatment and disease.
Effect of Woody Breast Condition on Instrumental Texture Characteristics of Poultry Deli Loaves
Authors: Caldas-Cueva Juan P. , Maynard Clay J. , Mauromoustakos Andy , Owens Casey M.
Published: July 2020

The use of broiler breast fillets affected by the woody breast (WB) condition in processed poultry products couldbe a feasible solution to this meat quality problem. This study assessed the impact of utilizing broiler breast fillets at differ-ent degrees of WB severity and percentages on instrumental texture characteristics of deli loaves. Breast fillets (n = 270) were collected from broiler carcasses and sorted based on palpation assessment in 3 WB categories (normal [NOR], mild [MIL], and severe [SEV]). Nine treatments of deli loaves were prepared from cubed portions in each of 3 replications: 100% NOR (T1), 67% NOR + 33% MIL (T2), 67% NOR + 33% SEV (T3), 33% NOR + 67% MIL (T4), 33% NOR + 67% SEV (T5), 100% MIL (T6), 67% MIL + 33% SEV (T7), 33% MIL + 67% SEV (T8), and 100% SEV (T9). Cooked deli loaves were subjected to texture profile analysis, cook loss, instrumental color, and dimensional modifications. Hardness of deli loaves increased (P < 0.05), whereas cohesiveness values decreased (P < 0.05), as WB severity increased in the meat added into the product formulation when compared with NOR samples and excluding treatments T2 through T4. The use of SEV fillets at 100% (T9) or mixtures of MIL and SEV fillets (T7 and T8) yielded nonuniform deli loaves with different color parameters and higher levels of cook loss (>13%), coupled with reductions in diameter (>8%) and length (>5%), comparedto NOR samples (P < 0.05). These results suggest that the negative effects of WB on quality and yield characteristics are not minimized by the preparation of this formed product when using high proportions of WB meat. Thus, broiler breast fillets affected by the WB condition may be used at relatively low percentages combined with NOR fillets as an option in commercial chicken deli loaf formulations.
¿El país de los cuatro primeros? El problema del pragmatismo y los factores materiales en los estudios sobre la relación Chile-China
Authors: Coloma Rojas Claudio
Published: July 2020

El artículo pasa revista al uso del concepto de pragmatismo y la causalidad de los factores materiales en la literatura sobre las relaciones Chile-China. Se cuestiona el rol de estos elementos en la constitución de Chile como el país pionero para China en América Latina. Uno de los principales hallazgos es que el pragmatismo, como significante central de enfoques materialistas que abogan por la causalidad de las complementariedades económicas, ha sido despojado de sus orígenes como una idea auto-reportada y reificado como una condición objetiva de la relación. Sin embargo, el uso del pragmatismo es problemático cuando la literatura no puede fijar la frontera entre éste y la ideología, especialmente cuando aborda temas como la creencia en el libre comercio. El artículo concluye que cuando se articulan elementos materiales e ideales independientemente de los mecanismos causales del positivismo empírico, el estudio de las relaciones Chile-China es un campo ontológico y empírico vasto por explorar.

Authors: Agustina Elita
Published: July 2020

Salah satu cara untuk pengendalian nyamuk Aedes aegypti adalah dengan mengetahui tempat perindukannya. Selama ini diketahui bahwa nyamuk A. aegypti hanya dapat berkembangbiak pada air yang relatif jernih, tertampung dalam suatu wadah dan tidak bersentuhan langsung dengan tanah, namun demikian ingin diketahui juga apakah air terpolusi langsung dengan tanah dapat menjadi tempat berkembangbiak bagi nyamuk A. aegypti. Tujuan penelitian ini adalah untuk mengetahui pengaruh media terpolusi tanah terhadap perkembangbiakan nyamuk A. aegypti. Penelitian ini menggunakan metode observasi dan metode ovitrap. Media air terpolusi tanah dibuat dengan kosentrasi tanah 50 gr/ml, tanah 30 gr/ml dan 10 gr/ml. Parameter yang diamati adalah daya tetas telur, persentase telur menjadi jentik, persentase jentik menjadi pupa dan pupa menjadi nyamuk dewasa. Selain itu dilakukan juga analisa kualitas air pada media air terpolusi tanah meliputi pH, kekeruhan, CO2, amonia, nitrat dan plankton. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan jumlah telur yang diletakkan nyamuk betina pada media air yang berisi polutan tanah mencapai rata-rata 12.460 butir telur. Persentase keberhasilan nyamuk Aedes aegypti dari mulai penetasan sampai mencapai dewasa tergolong tinggi. Salah satu faktor yang mempengaruhi peletakan telur adalah indera olfaktori dan kehadiran mikroorganisme. Perkembangan nyamuk pradewasa tergantung pada ketersediaan makanan, bahan organik dan anorganik. Hasil penelitian ini juga menunjukkan bahwa air yang terpolusi tanah dapat menjadi tempat perindukan dan berkembangbiaknya nyamuk A. aegypti.

The effective way to control Aedes aegypti is knowing the breeding place of A. aegypti. Nowadays it is known that immature A. aegypti only breed in the clean water, in containers and no touch with soil. Therefore we need to know it soil-polluted water could be the breeding place for A. aegypti. The objectives of this research were to know of A. aegypti in field, preference of A. aegypti in selection of breeding place, and also to know the growth of immature A. aegypti in any type of polluted water. Methode of research was an observation and ovitrap method. The ovitrap soil-polluted water proved to attract female mosquitos to lay the most eggs. Amount of oviposition depend on some factor such as olfactory cues and the presence of mikroorganisme. The development of immature mosquitos depend on food availability, material organic and anorganic. The result showed that polluted water could be a breeding place for A. aegypti.

First, the concept of child-friendly education includes three terms including affection (al-raḥmah), graceful (al-rifq wa al-layn), and justice (al-‘adālah). Second, child-friendly education methods consist of education with exemplary, education with customs, education with advice, education with attention, and education with punishment. Furthermore, the implication to establish humanist teachers is to develop teachers’ four competency domains including humanistic values, treating students affectively, graceful, and justice, as well as protecting them from all acts of violence.

This study explains the humanistic-religious approach in Islamic Jurisprudence (Fiqh) learning. This research employed a qualitative approach in which data were collected through observations, documentation, and interviews. It was conducted at MAN 3 Pontianak, Indonesia, where teachers and students were research participants.
