Published: November 2023

Introduction: Parkinson’s disease (PD) is a progressive neurodegenerative disease mainly characterized by motor defects such as tremor and postural instability. The number of patients with Parkinson’s disease (PD) is increasing in all aging societies. This population requires immediate physiotherapy management to maintain and improve their quality of life. The aim of study to explore physiotherapists’ views about the barriers facing Parkinson’s patients on access in centres of physiotherapy in Al-Zawia city, Libya. Method: An exploratory qualitative study is design to explain physiotherapists’ views. Twenty physiotherapists from seven physiotherapy centres were approached individually and invited to participate. Participants were interviewed and asked about their experiences with Parkinson's patients.  Result and discussion there are barriers in the communication with elderly Parkinson's patients and also, the doctors with physiotherapists, lack of access (referral) and poor awareness of doctors about physical therapy role as one of the barriers, the economic part of barriers that limit patient’s access to the center because as expensive private facilities, and long-term treatment plans with slow improvement lead to a lack of patient's access to the center, on other hand patient fell bored from ong treatment, beside the patients mood that effected in patients treatment such as anxiety and depression, while the anxiety is the most mood disorder . All of these factors and others led to frequent missing sessions and limiting patients’ access to physiotherapy centres. Conclusions: The study found that there were gaps in communication between patients, physiotherapists, and physicians. And there lack of patient access in the physiotherapy centres because of poor referral and awareness/knowledge about the benefits of physiotherapy programs for patients with PD. Another issue the study found there was the high cost of the therapy sessions and long-term program compared with the low level of improvement that made patients discontinue their treatment.

Environmental Politics in Gulf Cooperation Council States: Strengthening the Role of Civil Society
Authors: Bourhrous Amal , Poignant Khafagi Emelie
Published: November 2023

This SIPRI Research Policy Paper explores the role of civil society in environmental polit­ics in Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) states. In recent years, the Gulf region has seen a shift in official discourses and policies towards sustainability and the energy transition. This has opened up new opportun­ities for civil society actors to engage with policymakers and the public on issues such as climate change and environ­mental preservation. Drawing on interviews with environmental activists from all the GCC states, the paper highlights the challenges facing civil society actors and the opportunities available to them, as well as discusses prospects for further regional civil society cooperation. The paper argues that policymakers in the GCC states need to further expand the space available to civil society actors and strengthen their role in environmental politics. This is in the interest of GCC states, who stand to benefit from greater cooperation with a dynamic, driven and generally well-intentioned civil society if they want to reach their climate targets and implement their ambitious national develop­ment strategies. Specifically, the paper recommends easing regulations and legal pro­cedures, facilitating access to funding, supporting youth and female environmental activists, adopting participatory approaches, and facilitating the creation of regional platforms and organizations.

Published: November 2023

The implementation of national health insurance in Indonesia in 2014 as an effort to provide universal health care was known asthe BPJS program. It was named after the responsible agency: Badan Penyelenggara Jaminan Sosial (Health Social Security Administrator). In its early years of implementation, it was indicated that it was not financially optimal because it made a significant financial loss. Therefore, this research was conducted to examine the efficiency level of several hospitals in Jakarta from a technical and cost perspective. The 2018 data was obtained from the Ministry of Health and BPJS. The survey covered 36 hospitals from various regions in Jakarta and was analyzed using Data Envelopment Analysis and Stochastic Frontier Analysis. DEA Solver LV 8 and Frontier 4.1 were the primary tools in this study. There were two significant results of this study. First, most hospitals in Jakarta were efficient in terms of technical efficiency score of DEA (0.73) and SFA (0.52), whereas cost efficiency was mediocre with a score of DEA (0.56) and SFA (0.50). Second, three indices (regional technical efficiency score, regional cost efficiency score, and ownership cost efficiency score) showed similar patterns for DEA and SFA efficiency scores except for the ownership technical efficiency index. It is recommended that the government should immediately improve the centralized national database for hospitals and decide strategic policy to arrange for cooperation between hospitals primarily by sharing their data on hospitals’ load and staff availability.
