Public Views on Models for Accessing Genomic and Health Data for Research: Mixed Methods Study (Preprint)
Authors: Jones Kerina H , Daniels Helen , Squires Emma , Ford David V
Published: April 2019

BACKGROUND

The literature abounds with increasing numbers of research studies using genomic data in combination with health data (eg, health records and phenotypic and lifestyle data), with great potential for large-scale research and precision medicine. However, concerns have been raised about social acceptability and risks posed for individuals and their kin. Although there has been public engagement on various aspects of this topic, there is a lack of information about public views on data access models.

OBJECTIVE

This study aimed to address the lack of information on the social acceptability of access models for reusing genomic data collected for research in conjunction with health data. Models considered were open web-based access, released externally to researchers, and access within a data safe haven.

METHODS

Views were ascertained using a series of 8 public workshops (N=116). The workshops included an explanation of benefits and risks in using genomic data with health data, a facilitated discussion, and an exit questionnaire. The resulting quantitative data were analyzed using descriptive and inferential statistics, and the qualitative data were analyzed for emerging themes.

RESULTS

Respondents placed a high value on the reuse of genomic data but raised concerns including data misuse, information governance, and discrimination. They showed a preference for giving consent and use of data within a safe haven over external release or open access. Perceived risks with open access included data being used by unscrupulous parties, with external release included data security, and with safe havens included the need for robust safeguards.

CONCLUSIONS

This is the first known study exploring public views of access models for reusing anonymized genomic and health data in research. It indicated that people are generally amenable but prefer data safe havens because of perceived sensitivities. We recommend that public views be incorporated into guidance on models for the reuse of genomic and health data.

Authors: Appalasamy Jamuna Rani , Subramanian Pathmavathi , Tan Kit Mun , Seeta Ramaiah Siva , Joseph Joyce Pauline , Chua Siew Siang
Published: April 2019

BACKGROUND

Stroke is one of the top 10 leading diseases worldwide, with high mortality and morbidity rates. There is an incomplete understanding of the various types of self-efficacy involved in the prevention of recurrent stroke, and one of them is medication-taking self-efficacy.

OBJECTIVE

This study aimed to explore the fundamental needs and barriers of medication-taking self-efficacy in poststroke patients in Malaysia.

METHODS

We performed in-depth individual interviews with poststroke patients (N=10) from the Outpatient Neurology Clinic, Hospital Kuala Lumpur. All interviews were transcribed verbatim, and an inductive thematic analysis was performed on the data collected from the interviews.

RESULTS

Two key themes were identified: (1) self-efficacy in taking the effort to understand stroke and its preventative treatment for recurrent stroke and (2) self-efficacy in taking prescribed medication to prevent stroke. Patients needed to be proactive in seeking reliable information about stroke and the perceived benefits of preventative treatment for stroke. The discussion was focused on eliciting the needs and barriers related to medication-taking self-efficacy. Patients needed to develop independence and self-reliance to overcome barriers such as dependency and low motivation. External factors such as limited information resources, low perceived severity, poor social environment, and poor communication add to the challenges of poststroke patients to improve their self-efficacy of managing their medications.

CONCLUSIONS

The study identified potential key findings related to the needs of patients in a localized setting, which are also related to several health behavioral concepts and constructs, indicating the importance of overcoming barriers to improve the quality of life in poststroke patients. We anticipate that the results will be taken into consideration for future personalized patient education interventions.

Authors: de Krijger Eva , Bohlmeijer Ernst T. , Geuze Elbert , Kelders Saskia M.
Published: April 2019

BACKGROUND

There is increasing empirical evidence for the positive mental health effects of compassion-based interventions. Although numerous smartphone apps offering compassion-based interventions (‘compassion apps’) are now available for the general public, these apps have not been reviewed on their quality before.

OBJECTIVE

The current study focuses on rating existing compassion apps on their quality.

METHODS

Existing compassion apps were identified through searches in the Google Play store and App store. The 19 included apps were rated on their overall quality using the Mobile App Rating Scale and on their consistency with current evidence by comparing them to existing and studied compassion-based interventions.

RESULTS

Eight apps were identified that met the criteria of being consistent with existing and studied compassion-based interventions, and acceptable to good overall quality, and 11 apps that fail to meet one or both of these criteria.

CONCLUSIONS

Good quality compassion apps are available but many of the available apps fail to meet certain quality criteria. It is recommended that future compassion apps are based on a clear definition of compassion, offer evidence- and theory based exercises and implement tools for increasing engagement.
Information About Sunscreen on YouTube and Considerations for Sun Safety Promotion: Content Analysis (Preprint)
Authors: Julian Anne K , Welch Jessica , Bean Maddison M , Shahid Sarah , Perna Frank M
Published: April 2019

BACKGROUND

Sunscreen use is a popular sun protection method; however, application of sunscreen rarely meets the standards recommended for effectiveness. Access to information about how to effectively use sunscreen may play a role in proper sunscreen application. The internet is a common health information source; however, the quality of sunscreen-related content varies.

OBJECTIVE

The objective of this study was to examine information about sunscreen in YouTube videos by video source.

METHODS

In November 2017, the authors identified the 20 most popular YouTube videos (sorted by view count and relevance) for each of these 5 search terms: sunscreen cancer, sunscreen health, sunscreen information, sunscreen ingredients, and sunscreen natural. The inclusion criteria were English language and view count >1000 (N=111 unique videos). We double-coded videos for standard recommendations for sunscreen use (eg, apply 20 minutes before sun exposure), use of outdated terminology, and recommendation of complementary sun safety strategies.

RESULTS

The view counts ranged from 1100 to 671,142 (median 17,774, SD 109,651) and the average daily views ranged from 1 to 1448 (median 23, SD 234). End users (46/111, 41.4%) and health care providers (24/111, 21.6%) were the most common sources, and none of the most popular videos were produced by federal agencies or cancer-related nongovernmental organizations. Health care provider videos included marginally more recommendations than end user videos (mean 1.46, SD 1.96 vs mean 1.05, SD 1.20), but few (19/111, 17.1%) mentioned reapplication. The videos were generally positive toward sunscreen (82/111, 73.9%); however, some videos were negative (29/111, 26.1%), with warnings about the health risks of chemical sunscreens and their ingredients. Do-it-yourself sunscreen tutorials represented 19/111 (17.1%) of the sample.

CONCLUSIONS

YouTube is a potential source for disseminating sun safety messages; however, the quality of its sunscreen content varies. Most of the videos in our study failed to include important sunscreen use recommendations. Clinicians should be prepared to address the information needs of patients by discussing effective, evidence-based sunscreen application and recommending a combined sun safety approach.

Authors: Horrell Lindsey N , Lazard Allison J , Bhowmick Amrita , Hayes Sara , Mees Susan , Valle Carmina G
Published: April 2019

BACKGROUND

With growing numbers of adults turning to the internet to get answers for health-related questions, online communities provide platforms with participatory networks to deliver health information and social support. However, to optimize the benefits of these online communities, these platforms must market effectively to attract new members and promote community growth.

OBJECTIVE

The aim of this study was to assess the engagement results of Facebook advertisements designed to increase membership in the LungCancer.net online community.

METHODS

In the fall of 2017, a series of 5 weeklong Facebook advertisement campaigns were launched targeting adults over the age of 18 years with an interest in lung cancer to increase opt ins to the LungCancer.net community (ie, the number of people who provided their email to join the site).

RESULTS

The advertisements released during this campaign had a sum reach of 91,835 people, and 863 new members opted into the LungCancer.net community by providing their email address. Females aged 55 to 64 years were the largest population reached by the campaign (31,401/91,835; 34.29%), whereas females aged 65 and older were the largest population who opted into the LungCancer.net community (307/863; 35.57%). A total of US $1742 was invested in the Facebook campaigns, and 863 people opted into LungCancer.net, resulting in a cost of US $2.02 per new member.

CONCLUSIONS

This research demonstrates the feasibility of using Facebook advertising to promote and grow online health communities. More research is needed to compare the effectiveness of various advertising approaches. Public health professionals should consider Facebook campaigns to effectively connect intended audiences to health information and support.

Authors: Ewais Tatjana , Begun Jakob , Kenny Maura , Headey Alan , Kisely Steve
Published: April 2019

BACKGROUND

Mindfulness-based programs are increasingly used as a part of integrated treatment for inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). However, the majority of research has been quantitative with limited qualitative exploration of patients’ experiences of mindfulness programs and no studies among adolescents and young adults with IBD. Furthermore, there has been a paucity of research exploring the role of common psychotherapy and group factors within mindfulness programs.

OBJECTIVE

This study aims to explore the experiences of adolescents and young adults with IBD and depression who completed a mindfulness-based cognitive therapy (MBCT) group program, as well as the role of therapeutic alliance, group affiliation, and other common psychotherapy and group factors.

METHODS

This mixed methods qualitative study, nested within a randomized controlled trial (RCT) of MBCT for adolescents and young adults with IBD, will obtain qualitative data from focus groups and open-ended survey questions. The study aims to conduct three to four focus groups with 6-8 participants in each group. It will employ data and investigator triangulation as well as thematic analysis of the qualitative data.

RESULTS

The study was approved by the Mater Hospital Human Research Ethics Committee and recruitment commenced in May 2019; study completion is anticipated by early 2020.

CONCLUSIONS

The study will contribute to the assessment of acceptability and feasibility of the MBCT program for adolescents and young adults with IBD. It will also elucidate the role of previously unexplored common psychotherapy and group factors within mindfulness training and help inform the design of a future large-scale RCT of MBCT in this cohort.

Just Because (Most) Hospitals Are Publishing Charges Does Not Mean Prices Are More Transparent (Preprint)
Authors: Mullens Cody Lendon , Hernandez J Andres , Anderson Evan D , Allen Lindsay
Published: April 2019

BACKGROUND

The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) recently mandated that all hospitals publish their charge description masters (CDMs) online, in a machine-readable format, by January 1, 2019. In addition, CMS recommended that CDM data be made available in a manner that was consumer friendly and accessible to patients.

OBJECTIVE

This study aimed to (1) examine all hospitals across the state of Pennsylvania to understand policy compliance and (2) use established metrics to measure accessibility and consumer friendliness of posted CDM data.

METHODS

A cross-sectional analysis was conducted to quantify hospital website compliance with the recent CMS policies requiring hospitals to publish their CDM. Data were collected from all Pennsylvania hospital websites. Consumer friendliness was assessed based on searchability, number of website clicks to data, and supplemental educational materials accompanying CDMs such as videos or text.

RESULTS

Most hospitals (189/234, 80.1%) were compliant, but significant variation in data presentation was observed. The mean number of website clicks to the CDM was 3.7 (SD 1.3; range: 1-8). A total of 23.1% of compliant hospitals provided no supplemental educational material with their CDM.

CONCLUSIONS

Although disclosure of charges has improved, the data may not be sufficient to meaningfully influence patient decision making.
Disparities in Electronic Patient Portal Use in Prenatal Care: Retrospective Cohort Study (Preprint)
Authors: Ukoha Erinma P , Feinglass Joe , Yee Lynn M
Published: April 2019

BACKGROUND

Electronic patient portals are websites that provide individuals access to their personal health records and allow them to engage through a secure Web-based platform. These portals are becoming increasingly popular in contemporary health care systems. Patient portal use has been found to be beneficial in multiple specialties, especially in the management of chronic disease. However, disparities have been identified in portal use in which racial and ethnic minorities and individuals with lower socioeconomic status have been shown to be less likely to enroll and use patient portals than non-Hispanic white persons and individuals with higher socioeconomic status. Electronic patient portal use by childbearing women has not been well studied, and data on portal use during pregnancy are limited.

OBJECTIVE

This study aimed to quantify the use of an electronic patient portal during pregnancy and examine whether disparities related to patients’ demographics or clinical characteristics exist.

METHODS

This was a retrospective cohort study of women who received prenatal care at an academic medical center from 2014 to 2016. Clinical records were reviewed for portal use and patient data. Patients were considered enrolled in the portal if they had an account at the time of delivery, and enrollees were compared with nonenrollees. Enrollees were further categorized based on the number of secure messages sent during pregnancy as active (≥1) or inactive (0) users. Bivariable chi-square and multivariable Poisson regression models were used to calculate the incidence rate ratio of portal enrollment and, if enrolled, of active use based on patients’ characteristics.

RESULTS

Of the 3450 women eligible for inclusion, 2530 (73.33%) enrolled in the portal. Of these enrollees, 72.09% (1824/2530) were active users. There was no difference in portal enrollment by maternal race and ethnicity on multivariable models. Women with public insurance (adjusted incidence rate ratio; aIRR 0.60, 95% CI 0.49-0.84), late enrollment in prenatal care (aIRR 0.78, 95% CI 0.69-0.89 for second trimester and aIRR 0.50, 95% CI 0.39-0.64 for third trimester), and high-risk pregnancies (aIRR 0.82, 95% CI 0.75-0.89) were significantly less likely to enroll. Conversely, nulliparity (aIRR 1.10, 95% CI 1.02-1.20) and having more than 8 prescription medications at prenatal care initiation (aIRR 1.19, 95% CI 1.06-1.32) were associated with greater likelihood of enrollment. Among portal enrollees, the only factor significantly associated with active portal use (ie, secure messaging) was nulliparity (aIRR 1.11, 95% CI 1.01-1.23).

CONCLUSIONS

Among an obstetric population, multiple clinical and socioeconomic factors were associated with electronic portal enrollment, but not subsequent active use. As portals become more integrated as tools to promote health, efforts should be made to ensure that already vulnerable populations are not further disadvantaged with regard to electronic-based care.
A Mobile Phone–Based Gait Assessment App for the Elderly: Development and Evaluation (Preprint)
Authors: Zhong Runting , Rau Pei-Luen Patrick
Published: April 2019

BACKGROUND

Gait disorders are common among older adults. With an increase in the use of technology among older adults, a mobile phone app provides a solution for older adults to self-monitor their gait quality in daily life.

OBJECTIVE

This study aimed to develop a gait-monitoring mobile phone app (Pocket Gait) and evaluate its acceptability and usability among potential older users.

METHODS

The app was developed to allow older adults to track their gait quality, including step frequency, acceleration root mean square (RMS), step regularity, step symmetry, and step variability. We recruited a total of 148 community-dwelling older adults aged 60 years and older from two cities in China: Beijing and Chongqing. They walked in three ways (single task, dual task, and fast walking) using a smartphone with the gait-monitoring app installed and completed an acceptability and usability survey after the walk test. User acceptability was measured by a questionnaire including four quantitative measures: perceived ease of use, perceived usefulness, ease of learning, and intention to use. Usability was measured using the System Usability Scale (SUS). Interviews were conducted with participants to collect open-ended feedback questions.

RESULTS

Task type had a significant effect on all gait parameters, namely, step frequency, RMS, step variability, step regularity, and step symmetry (all P values <.001). Age had a significant effect on step frequency (P=.01), and region had a significant effect on step regularity (P=.04). The acceptability of the gait-monitoring app was positive among older adults. Participants identified the usability of the system with an overall score of 59.7 (SD 10.7) out of 100. Older adults from Beijing scored significantly higher SUS compared with older adults from Chongqing (P<.001). The age of older adults was significantly associated with their SUS score (P=.048). Older adults identified improvements such as a larger font size, inclusion of reference values for gait parameters, and inclusion of heart rate and blood pressure monitoring.

CONCLUSIONS

This mobile phone app is a health management tool for older adults to self-manage their gait quality and prevent adverse outcomes. In the future, it will be important to take factors such as age and region into consideration while designing a mobile phone–based gait assessment app. The feedback of the participants would help to design more elderly-friendly products.

Authors: Zhao Lijuan , Shi Junhong , Kang Xiaohong , Hong Hua
Published: April 2019

Using Amartya Sen’s capability approach and household survey data from Inner Mongolia, China, this paper constructs a welfare index in order to examine the impact of crop insurance on the welfare of farmers. Fuzzy comprehensive evaluation methods were used to measure changes in farmers’ welfare before and after participating in crop insurance, and these were empirically tested to identify differences in the factors affecting farmers’ welfare. It was found that after participating in crop insurance, the overall welfare level of farmers slightly increased. Many functional indicators improved, such as family economic status, working status, protective security, and psychological experience; however, the living environment and leisure time of farmers deteriorated after participation. From the perspective of conversion factors, variables such as the educational level of the head of household, the total number of members in a given household, the policy of crop insurance and regional economic development level all have a significant impact on the changes in farmers’ welfare.

A atemporalidade da Ideologia Alemã: lacônicos apontamentos
Authors: Baluta Maria Cristina Cristina , Moreira Dirceia , Valério Jucelene Mendes
Published: April 2019

Este texto é resultado de estudos empreendidos na disciplina: Seminário Especial Marxismo e Educação da Pós-Graduação em Educação da UEPG. Objetiva apresentar alguns apontamentos sobre as ideias principais de Marx e Engels, na obra A Ideologia Alemã, entre elas, as críticas sobre o pensamento dos neo-hegelianos e sua influência no comportamento de alienação dele resultante. Nessa estrutura, fazem uma concepção a respeito do que é o modo de produção, o intercâmbio e a divisão de trabalho, para redirecionar por meio dessa divisão, a separação entre a cidade e o campo. Marx e Engels propõem a iminente necessidade de transmutar o mundo, incitando a saída do conforto das satisfações, da cômoda interpretação do mundo dado, e principalmente, a vivência da práxis estruturada em ações responsáveis, autônomas e reflexivas, capazes de transformar a natureza e a vida do homem.Palavras-chave: História.

Anestesia fantasmagórica da bolha algorítmica e o caráter destrutivo do glitch
Authors: Arruda Mario
Published: April 2019

Os algoritmos que fazem o gerenciamento da circulação de dados em sites de redes sociais funcionam como filtros personalistas. Através desse mecanismo invisível, os usuários passam a ter contato apenas com dados semelhantes aos que já interagiram anteriormente. Diante dessa problemática, propomos a aproximação de Eli Pariser (2012), que discute as lógicas de controle na internet, com Walter Benjamin (1955), que evidencia as sensações anestésicas e fantasmagóricas produzidas pelos meios de comunicação de massa. Com isso, buscamos evidenciar uma política conservadora incrustada no projeto tecnológico da internet para sugerirmos que a inserção de imagens com a estética glitch opera de forma a produzir uma circulação de dados mais heterogênea e transformadora nas bolhas algorítmicas.Palavras-chave: Cibercultura. Glitch. Estética. Internet. Comunicação.
Eles chegaram como uma bola de demolição: YouTube, spoofs e o videoclipe Wrecking Ball
Authors: Silva Caio Melo da , Holzbach Ariane Diniz
Published: April 2019

O YouTube funciona não apenas como um grande acervo audiovisual, mas como um espaço para que possam ser divulgados, especialmente, conteúdos produzidos por “pessoas comuns”. Nesse sentido, um dos produtos originais mais expressivos da plataforma são os spoofs, que reconstroem de variadas maneiras a produção audiovisual de maneira geral. Tendo isso em vista, o objetivo deste estudo é analisar os spoofs do videoclipe Wrecking Ball, da cantora pop Miley Cyrus, partindo de um debate em torno 1) da “cultura YouTube", 2) da profissionalização dos YouTubers e 3) da própria cantora, cuja trajetória midiática é fundamental para compreensão do conteúdo dos vídeos. Para tanto, foram selecionados cinco spoofs – os três internacionais e os dois brasileiros mais visualizados do site até a finalização da pesquisa. A partir da análise, é possível refletir sobre o otimismo relacionado à cultura participativa e questionar de forma mais aprofundada sobre o papel social desse fenômeno.Palavras-chave: YouTube.

Quando o Cinema sai da sala escura
Authors: Vieira Cíntia Marques
Published: April 2019

O cinema nasceu do experimentalismo e ao longo de sua existência vem se transformando em suas relações, criando deslocamentos em relação aos seus modelos de representação, linguagem e apresentação. Este artigo trás alguns exemplos de expansão e imbricação do cinema com as artes e as novas tecnologias, a exemplo da Videoarte e do Cinema Expandido. O objetivo é refletirmos sobre este novo cinema e seus espaços e relações, sobre as imagens que o compõe em diferentes palcos de expressão, permitindo um alargamento de fronteiras e uma multiplicidade que reconfigura o modo de ser, sentir e ver o cinema. Atualmente sob uma diversidade de suportes e linguagens, faz-se clara a existência de uma potência que move o cinema em direção a outros espaços e novos meios.Palavras-chave: Cinema. Dispositivo. Cinema Expandido. Videoarte.
A educação no século XXI: gamificação aprendizagem com criatividade
Authors: Quinaud Adriana Landim , Baldessar Maria José
Published: April 2019

No século XXI o conhecimento assume papel rele­vante como fator de produção. Imersa na Era Digital a evolução das tecnologias têm impulsionado novas práticas educativas por meio da inovação. Entre as tendências atuais, está gamificação, traduzida pelo uso de elementos de game em atividades de ‘non game’. Através da revisão da literatura, constatou-se que gamificação na educação, representa uma possibilidade criativa e interdisciplinar para motivar e engajar, desenvolver habilidades cognitivas, sociais e motoras. No entanto, pode representar desafios também, como ensinar aos alunos que eles devem aprender somente quando são recompensados, além do impacto emocional que deve ser planejado, pois existe a possibilidade de o estudante falhar na conclusão de uma tarefa, entre outros. Portanto, em conjunto com a criação dos projetos de gamificação, devem-se desenvolver avaliações significativas para verificar se estão alcançando seus objetivos.Palavras-chave: Educação. Século XXI. Gamificação. Aprendizagem. Criatividade.
Chico Bento, fatores culturais que fazem do personagem um caipira chinês
Authors: Celidonio Bruno
Published: April 2019

Em um contexto internacional, existiria a possibilidade de um personagem, ao ser apresentado a uma cultura completamente diferente de sua original, e carregando características e aspectos tão típicos e marcantes de uma região de seu país, ser reconhecido como um nativo de uma outra cultura diferente? Em face a este questionamento, e através de uma pesquisa bibliográfica de cunho teórico, o estudo em questão se propõe a analisar, tendo como objeto os quadrinhos do personagem Chico Bento, tipicamente um caipira do interior brasileiro, sua recepção por parte do leitor infantil chinês, levando em consideração a observação de fatores culturais, de relações internacionais e de comunicação, como globalização e absorção cultural entre países, além de pesquisar, de forma a embasar a análise inicial, quais as dificuldades e facilidades teriam sido encontradas para a aceitação destes gibis do cartunista Mauricio de Sousa em um país tão distinto culturalmente  do Brasil como a China.Palavras Chave: Chico Bento. Gibis.  Globalização. Recepção. China.

O presente artigo pretende debater e refletir sobre as estratégias de abordagem do documentário brasileiro contemporâneo, a presença das tecnologias digitais nestes novos modos de abordagem e a produção de imagens do encontro com o outro. Apresentamos um breve panorama das transformações técnicas e as suas relações com o meio de comunicação cinema e nos utilizamos de uma amostra de quatro documentários brasileiros contemporâneos, a fim de observar uma tendência no gênero narrativo documental. Para dissertar sobre o fenômeno nos munimos da tipologia do documentário de Bill Nichols (2005) e a teoria sobre a ética no documentário, de Fernão Ramos (2008).Palavras chave: Modos de abordagem. Narrativa documental. Tecnologia digital. Ética da alteridade.
