Published: August 2024

The adoption of achievement goal orientation is a crucial factor in shaping an individual's attitudes and behaviours towards learning. The aim of this study was to investigate the impact of gender and support from Compassion International on the adoption of achievement goal orientation (AGO). The study used parallel mixed methods approach to sample 510 adolescent students aged 12 -21 years were included in the study. Both Compassion International support beneficiaries and non-beneficiaries were recruited for the study. The Mann-Whitney Test for Differences yielded statistically significant findings regarding the adoption of achievement goal orientation in relation to gender and support from Compassion International. Mann-Whitney U Test was used because it was suitable for comparing overall distribution of participants across gender and Compassion International support since the numbers of respondents within each of the two categories were not uniformly distributed. The adoption of mastery approach (MAP) and performance avoidance goals (PAV) was found to be predicted by Gender, whereas mastery goals (approach and avoidance) and performance approach goals (PAP) were predicted by support from Compassion International. The findings of the study offer valuable insights into the possible gender-based discrepancies in achievement goals orientation and underscore the significance of compassion support in promoting achievement goal orientation that results in self-skill enhancement. This information can serve as a valuable resource for educators, parents, and policymakers in formulating effective approaches that tackle gender-based disparities as well as integrating external support initiatives by non-governmental organisations within the educational framework to foster fair and enduring educational outcomes

Published: August 2024

Background: The roles and responsibilities of midwives include providing adequate nutrition assessment, nutrition and health education, counselling, and support to pregnant women.Aim: This study aims to assess midwives’ nutrition knowledge and to what extent they integrate maternal nutrition in services provided at health facilities.Setting: This study included hospitals and clinics within the three selected districts in Botswana.Methods: A cross-sectional study design with an analytical component was employed. Direct observation through a checklist and a structured interviewer-administered questionnaire were used. Data were analysed using SPSS IBM version 26.Results: A sample of 102 midwives participated, resulting in a response rate of 82%. Most of the participants were females (89.2%). Maternal nutrition knowledge was found to be variable but decreased with midwives’ age. A statistically significant correlation coefficient of p 0.005 at r = –0.278 was observed between maternal nutrition knowledge and age. Similarly, there was a statistically significant negative correlation between maternal nutrition knowledge, practices and maternal nutrition course attended using Pearson correlation (r = –0.217 p 0.028).Conclusion: Midwives had adequate to variable but declining maternal nutrition knowledge and practices with age. There is a need to provide midwives with refresher courses, as their nutrition knowledge and practices were related with courses attended.Contribution: The study contributes to provide the literature concerning nutrition knowledge and practices of midwives. The results will assist in addressing the gaps encountered and lead to the improvement of maternal nutrition and pregnancy outcomes.

Published: August 2024

Background: Management of radiography departments requires skilled and competent managers. This task becomes complex if there is no management development and collaborative performance monitoring.Aim: The study aimed to explore and describe the radiography managers’ perceptions regarding management training and skills required.Setting: The research was conducted in public health institutions of Gauteng, South Africa.Methods: Qualitative, exploratory and descriptive approach was adopted, and a purposive sampling method was used to select twenty-three (23) managers from the radiography departments; however, data saturation guided the sample size. Data were collected through online focus group discussions (FGDs). Ethical approval was obtained through Departmental Research Committee (DRC) of Medical Imaging and Radiation Sciences (MIRS) department, Higher Degrees Committee (HDC), Research Ethics Committee and Gauteng Department of Health Research Committees. Data trustworthiness was obtained through member checking, data verification and an independent coder to verify the accuracy of the data. Thematic data analysis method was used to analyse the data.Results: Five themes emerged from the thematic analysis and centred on: difficulties in transitioning into management, lack of management support, the need for postgraduate management qualification, coaching and mentoring and required skills for radiography managers.Conclusion: Public health institutions continuously face transitions in service delivery frameworks. This requires competent and skilled radiography managers to survive in this environment. The study revealed that new managers experience difficulties and require management support to succeed in their roles.Contribution: Awareness of managers developmental needs relative to the real-life dynamics of radiography management in Gauteng public health environment.

Authors: Matlala Lesedi S. , Molokwane Patrick 
Published: August 2024

Background: Early childhood development (ECD) is pivotal in addressing educational inequality and reducing income disparities in South Africa. Government initiatives to integrate ECD into the education system underscore a positive trajectory.Aim: This study assesses the impact of relocating ECD to the Department of Basic Education (DBE) in South Africa on practitioner employment. Specifically, it investigates the challenges ECD practitioners face concerning compliance with DBE norms and standards, including qualifications, professional body registration and adherence to educator conditions outlined by the Education Labour Relations Council (ELRC).Setting: The study is conducted in South Africa, focussing on Gauteng, to examine the ramifications of relocating ECD to the DBE.Methods: Conducted as a qualitative study, this research examines the potential implications for practitioner employment by conducting interviews with practitioners from both formal and informal settings.Results: The study indicates that the anticipated policy shift has created uncertainty regarding their employment status among ECD practitioners. This uncertainty may compound sectoral challenges, underscoring the urgent need for government intervention and support.Conclusion: Addressing the concerns highlighted by this study is imperative before the transition of the ECD sector to a new ministry in South Africa. Additionally, government initiatives to formalise informal ECD centres and broaden access to subsidies are crucial for enhancing sectoral performance.Contribution: This research sheds light on the challenges confronting ECD practitioners amid policy changes in South Africa, stressing the necessity of government backing in formalising the sector and bolstering subsidy accessibility for improved performance within the South African ECD landscape.
Transfusion management in two patients with anti-f antibodies – A case report and review of the literature

Published: August 2024

Abstract
The anti-f antibody is rarely encountered in the immunohematology laboratory. It is against the compound antigen “ce” or “f.” The “f-”antigen is only expressed when both c and e alleles are present in the cis position on the same haplotype. Anti-f is a clinically significant antibody that can cause hemolytic transfusion reaction and hemolytic disease in fetuses and newborns. Herein, we report two cases of anti-f antibodies in a 12-year-old boy with a background of bicytopenia and in an 82-year-old male patient with non-Hodgkin lymphoma. In the first case, it was an allo-anti-f associated with a warm type of autoantibody, and the second patient was suspected to have auto-anti-f. The direct antiglobulin test was positive in both cases. Both patients were transfused with c-antigen-negative compatible red cell units without any adverse reactions. This report highlighted the fact that units negative for the c-antigen are a more conservative choice for transfusion than units negative for the e-antigen as both c- and e-antigen-negative units are extremely difficult to find in the general population.
A cross-sectional study exploring factors affecting blood donation intentions and blood donation-related behavior of Filipinos during the COVID-19 pandemic
Authors: Clemente Benjie M. , Martin I Gregorio L. 
Published: August 2024

Abstract

CONTEXT:
The COVID-19 pandemic has posed serious public health concerns and scared potential blood donors to donate leading to the decline of blood supply.

AIMS:
Therefore, it is critical to identify current determinants that affect eligible donors to donate and save blood supply.

SUBJECTS AND METHODS:
The study employed a descriptive cross-sectional study design. Using Google Forms, eligible blood donors from Metro Manila, aged 18–60 years, were surveyed via snowball sampling technique. Descriptive measures such as mean and standard deviation and Spearman correlation were utilized to draw the relationship between different variables that affect the donation intention of respondents.

RESULTS:
A total of 303 respondents gave consent and took part of the survey. The majority of the donor respondents are aged 18-30 years (64%.4), male (70.3%), donated blood more than a year ago (73.3%), and donate blood only when they get the chance (60.4%). For both donors and nondonors, trust toward blood collecting units (BCUs), reinforced by response efficacy and self-efficacy, positively correlates with their donation intention. On the other hand, perceived risk, anxiety, and response cost associated with donating blood during the COVID-19 pandemic showed a significant negative correlation toward blood donation intention.

CONCLUSIONS:
Response efficacy and self-efficacy, underpinned by organizational trust, play an essential role in donors’ intentions to donate blood. BCUs focusing on the maintenance of trust of potential donors, showing assurance to donors, and providing safety measures to minimize the threat of contracting COVID-19 during blood donation, may aid in ensuring a safe and secured blood supply throughout the COVID-19 pandemic.

Abstract

OBJECTIVE:
Individuals with a cluster of differentiation 36 (CD36) deficiency are at risk of developing anti-CD36 antibodies after platelet transfusion or pregnancy. Therefore, we investigated CD36 expression on platelets of blood donors in Zhongshan city, and analyzed the frequency of CD36 deficiency and gene polymorphism.

METHODS:
A total of 846 healthy donors were randomly selected. CD36 expression on platelets was tested and monocytes from CD36-negative samples were further analyzed to determine the type of CD36 deficiency through flow cytometry. Genetic variation was analyzed through genomic DNA sequencing of exons 3–14 in the protein-coding region of CD36. Anti-CD36 antibody detection for the donors with CD36 deficiency was performed.

RESULTS:
The frequency of CD36-negative platelets in blood donors was 1.77% (15/846), of which Type I deficiency accounted for 0.12% (1/846) and Type II accounted for 1.65% (14/846). Seven types of gene mutations in eight cases of CD36-negative samples were discovered: 329_330 del AC (n = 2), 287 G > C (n = 1), 220 C > T and 1228_1239 ATTGTGCCTATT (n = 1), 1228_1239 ATTGTGCCTATT (n = 1), 538 T > C and 879 T > C (n = 1), 287 G > C and 1163 A > T (n = 1), and 429 + 3 dup G (n = 1). Moreover, the anti-CD36 antibody was detected in the plasma of donors with Type I CD36 deficiency.

CONCLUSION:
A new mutation site in exon 5 (429 + 3 dup G) was identified. The establishment of a CD36-negative database can provide compatible platelets to improve the efficacy of transfusion.
Autoantibodies mimicking alloantibodies
Authors: Agrawal Soma , Chowdhry Mohit , Gajullupalli Shiva Prasad , Muthukumaravel  
Published: August 2024

INTRODUCTION:
Autoimmune hemolytic anemia is characterized by increased red cell destruction and/or decreased red cell survival due to autoantibodies directed against self-antigens on red cells. Since autoantibodies react with self and nonself red blood cells (RBCs), they tend to mask the underlying clinically significant alloantibodies and many a times mimic a specific pattern like alloantibodies.

MATERIALS AND METHODS:
We discuss three immune hematological cases of warm autoantibodies. Antibody screening was performed by solid-phase red cell adherence (SPRCA) technique on a fully automated platform NEO Iris (Immucor Inc., USA). In case of a positive antibody screen, antibody identification was performed using SPRCA, NEO Iris (Immucor Inc., USA). Alloadsorption for adsorbing the autoantibodies was done using in-house prepared allogenic packed RBCs – R1R1, R2R2, and rr.

RESULTS:
All cases had warm autoantibody with a broad specificity against self-Rh antigens. Anti “C” and Anti “e” antibodies were identified in case 1 and autoanti “e” antibody in cases 2 and 3. Case 3 had underlying alloanti “E” along with autoanti “e” which posed a transfusion challenge.

CONCLUSION:
Our case series highlights the importance of detecting the nature of the antibody whether it is alloantibody or autoantibody with antigen specificity. This would help in selecting appropriate antigen negative blood units for transfusion purpose.
