Authors: Nouredine Djamaleddine 
Published: April 2024

Notre contribution s’inscrit dans le cadre de la présentation d’une vision d’un nouveau mode d’enseignement-apprentissage qui est actuellement expérimenté à l’université algérienne à savoir le E-learning. Il s’agit d’une présentation simplifiée sur la nature de l’E-learning afin de définir tous les secteurs et les sphères en lien avec cette nouvelle approche d’enseignement et de déterminer les propriétés et les transformations opérées par cet outil dans le processus de l’enseignement supérieur algérien. Dans un deuxième temps nous avons procédé à une enquête par questionnaire, en ligne, qui a été menée auprès d’un groupe d’étudiants de la 3ème année du département des sciences appliquées de l’université Ibn-Khaldoun de TIARET pendant la pandémie de la covid-19 ainsi que son efficacité, nous essaierons à la fin de proposer des résolutions qui contribueraient à son amélioration et cela passe évidemment par une réponse à ces deux questions majeures : Quels sont les défis auxquels sont confrontées les universités pour impliquer l’enseignant et l’étudiant dans le processus d’enseignement en ligne ? Quels sont les moyens adaptés à un enseignement en ligne réussi pendant la crise sanitaire de la covid-19 ?
Children under attack: trends and patterns of sexual offences against children in India
Authors: Tikhute Vishal 
Published: April 2024

Introduction: Recently, the United Nations declared November 18 as the World Day for the Prevention of and Healing from Child Sexual Exploitation, Abuse, and Violence. Despite sexua l offences against children being frequently reported in Indian media, scientific studies analysing the annual trends and re gional patterns of these crimes are scarce in India. Objectives: To describe annual trends and regional patterns of sexual crimes against children (CAC) in India Methods: National Crimes Record Bureau (NCRB) data on sexual c rimes for years 2014-2021 were analysed to describe annual trends and regional patterns of sexual offences against childr en in India. Results: An incremental trend in sexual offences was reported dur ing the 2014-2021 period. Sexual offences had the highest crime rate in 2021 (12.1%). There was a continuous increase in sexual offences in each succeeding year during the 2014-2021 period. The highest year-over-year increase was reported in 2017 (142%). The proportion of sexual offences in all CAC increased from 10% in 2014 to 36% in 2021. A higher num ber of cases were reported among girls (mean=25112; SD=5371) than boys (mean=241; SD=47). In 2021, Delhi had the highest crime rate for all CAC, while Andaman and Nicobar Islands had the highest crime rate for sexual offences. Conclusions & Recommendations: Despite the legal framework av ailable to protect children, there is still an increase in sexual offences against children in India. Regional patterns suggest a diverse distribution of sexual offences across India. A higher concentration of sexual offences was reported on remote, g eographically smaller Indian islands as well as on the densely populated mainland of India. Interventions aimed at providi ng knowledge about reporting sexual offences, altering community attitudes, and encouraging a safe and healthy childhood a re recommended.

Authors: Zeabadi Sakineh Moghaddam , Hasandoost Fatemeh , Momeni Maryam , Goudarzian Amir Hossein , Hosseinigolafshani Seyedehzahra 
Published: April 2024

BACKGROUND:
Nurses have a challenging job and encounter more stressful situations. In response to these situations, they demonstrate adaptive or maladaptive cognitive emotion regulation strategies (CERS). As there is a lack of literature regarding the factors predicting the selection of CERS, the present study aimed to investigate the role of age, sex, marital status, working experience, type of ward, and education level in predicting these strategies in Iranian nurses.

MATERIALS AND METHODS:
A descriptive correlational study was conducted to examine predictive factors’ emotion regulation strategies used by 193 nurses who worked at six hospitals under the supervision of Qazvin University of Medical Sciences in 2018. The study population were selected by stratified random sampling method. Data were collected by two questionnaires, one demographic questionnaire and the other was Cognitive Emotion Regulation Questionnaire conducted by Garnefski (α = 0.8). Data analysis was performed using correlation and multiple linear regression.

RESULTS:
The results showed that there is a significant relationship between the “type of ward” and “age” with adaptive and maladaptive strategies. In the multiple linear regression model, two variables of age (P = 0.03) and type of ward (P = 0.04) were able to predict 23% of variance CERS.

CONCLUSIONS:
Based on the results of this study, health-care providers and hospital managers should pay attention to factors related to adaptive and maladaptive CERS.

Authors: Ghaffari Faeze , Jeddi Fatemeh Rangraz , Farrahi Razieh , Nabovati Ehsan 
Published: April 2024

BACKGROUND:
In their apprenticeship program, health information technology (HIT) students are deprived of the ample opportunity to work with the hospital information system (HIS). This study aimed to design an interactive simulator for the HIS training and evaluate its effects on the informatics skills of HIT students.

MATERIALS AND METHODS:
This study was conducted on 16 Bachelor of Science students of HIT at Kashan University of Medical Sciences in 2019. After the functionalities and features of the simulator were determined based on similar existing simulators, expert opinions were received to simulate eight important processes of admission, discharge, and transfer module in HIS. The scores of students’ skills and time taken to perform the processes were recorded and analyzed before and after the educational intervention. After they were trained by the simulator, the students filled out a usability evaluation questionnaire. The data were then analyzed in SPSS version 21.

RESULTS:
The simulators of health information systems were characterized by interactivity, multimedia applications, practice exercises, tests, and feedback. After the students were trained by the developed simulator, their skills scores improved significantly in 75% (6/8) of the processes, and the timespans of all processes decreased significantly (P < 0.05). The usability evaluation indicated the usability of the simulator was at a “good” level.

CONCLUSIONS:
According to the study results, using the simulator improves the informatics skills of HIT students in working with HIS. It is recommended that this method also be used in other apprenticeship programs to teach health information systems.

Authors: Massah Laleh , Mohammadi Rouhangiz , Namnabati Mahboobeh 
Published: April 2024

BACKGROUND:
The rate of reporting medication errors is lower than the actual rate. The role of education, encouragement, and promotion of reporting culture can contribute to the increase of errors reporting. This study was to investigate the effect of motivational program on reporting of medication errors in the pediatric units.

MATERIALS AND METHODS:
A quasi-experimental study with pre- and post-test design was done through 60 nurses working in the pediatric wards of the selected hospital in Isfahan, Iran in 2018–2019. Nurses participated in the study through the census sampling method. Data were collected using a questionnaire based on eight medication principles completed by the nurses before and after the intervention. The intervention was conducted through a motivational program in two parts of training and positive reinforcement. Data were analyzed through the descriptive statistics (frequency, mean, and standard deviation [SD]) as well as inferential statistics (Wilcoxon test and paired t-test).

RESULTS:
After the intervention, the most medication error reports (60%) were in the principle of right medication (similar name). Furthermore, the total score (SD) of medication error reporting was significantly increased from 7.35 (2.43) before the intervention to 17.04 (5.59) after the intervention, (t = 8.03, P < 0.001).

CONCLUSIONS:
Motivational program increased medication error reports. Therefore, the managers can improve medication care and the safety of children through continuous education and encouragement in the hospitals.

Published: April 2024

BACKGROUND:
Given the relationship between positivity interventions and psychological problems, this study aimed to investigate the effect of positive thinking training on stress, anxiety, depression, and quality of life of hemodialysis patients.

MATERIALS AND METHODS:
This is a quasi-experimental and interventional study conducted on 70 hemodialysis patients referred to Fasa hemodialysis centers, Iran, between April 2019 and October 2019. Patients were selected using a simple sampling method and randomly divided into control (n = 35) and intervention (n = 35) groups. The intervention group was trained on positive thinking skills in eight sessions of a workshop. Before and after the intervention, stress, anxiety, depression, and quality of life in both the groups were measured using the Depression, Anxiety, and Stress Scale-21 and Short Form-36 Questionnaire. Data were analyzed using paired t-test, independent t-test, Kolmogorov–Smirnov, and Chi-square tests.

RESULTS:
There was no significant difference in the mean scores of stress, anxiety, depression, and quality of life in the two groups before the intervention.(P > 0.05), and in the control group, there was no statistically significant difference before and after the intervention (P = 0.092, P = 0.228, 0.280, respectively). In the intervention group, the mean score of stress and anxiety decreased from 23.65 ± 4.12 to 16.68 ± 4.41 (P < 0.001) and from 17.77 ± 5.15 to 14.57 ± 4.18 (P = 0.002), respectively, and that of the patients’ quality of life also increased from 35.19 ± 10.07 to 55.98 ± 11.71 (P < 0.001). However, the mean score of depression did not change significantly after the intervention (P = 0.689).

CONCLUSION:
According to the results of this study, the use of positive thinking intervention programs with other methods for hemodialysis patients’ care and treatment is recommended as a nonpharmacological, cost-effective, and uncomplicated method.

Published: April 2024

BACKGROUND:
Human brucellosis can be a source of problems that affect public health, social, and economic well-being of the world's population. This study was conducted with the aim of determining the effect of Educational Intervention (EI) based on Health Belief Model (HBM) on preventive behaviors against brucellosis in Health Volunteers (HVs) in Rafsanjan.

MATERIALS AND METHODS:
Randomly, 104 HVs, in the intervention and control group, participated in a quasi-randomized, controlled experimental study. Variables were evaluated before and 1 month after intervention. In the intervention group, the educational program was conducted with lecture, group discussion, showing movies and related photos, booklets, and pamphlets. The program included five 45-min sessions that developed regarding the beliefs and constructs of HBM about brucellosis and its prevention methods. Data regarding HBM constructs and preventive behavior were collected using the questionnaire with 100 items by the self-report method. Finally, the data were entered into the SPSS software version 16.0, and statistical tests such as Chi-square, independent and paired t-test, Mann–Whitney, and Wilcoxon test were used for the data analysis at the significant level of 0.05.

RESULTS:
Prior to the intervention, the mean score of the HBM constructs and preventive behaviors between the two groups did not differ significantly, but 1 month later, in the intervention group increased significantly compared to the control group (P < 0.05).

CONCLUSION:
We recommend to health authorities and health-care providers to use HBM in EIs to create susceptibility, increase perceived severity and benefits, promote self-efficacy, uses cue to action, as well as reduce behavioral barriers, and ultimately adopt health-promoting behaviors.

Published: April 2024

BACKGROUND:
Diagnosing cancer, as a life-threatening event, in children and adolescents stops the normal course of life for all family members. Spirituality, which plays an essential role in coping with illness and death, can increase resistance against psychological crises induced by cancer diagnosis and treatment. This study aims to discover the spiritual needs of mothers having children with cancer aged 1–12 years old.

MATERIALS AND METHODS:
In this qualitative study, the conventional content analysis approach was used. The research environment was three pediatric oncology wards of Amir Hospital in Shiraz, Iran. Data were collected from September 2019 to March 2020 through face-to-face semi-structured in-depth interviews. Fifteen participants including 12 mothers and 3 nurses were interviewed through purposive method considering maximal variation. The interviews were recorded, transcribed, and subjected to a qualitative analysis. Credibility, dependability, confirmability, and transferability of data were confirmed.

RESULTS:
The mean (± standard deviation) age of the mothers was 35.76 (±5.96) years old. The spiritual needs of the mothers were classified into three categories, including religious well-being, existential well-being, and growth and excellence as well as seven subcategories. Religious well-being included subcategories of direct and indirect connection with God, existential well-being included subcategories of need for hope, multifaceted support, and rethinking, growth, and excellence consisted of subcategories of devoting yourself and surrender.

CONCLUSION:
Mothers of children with cancer face important spiritual needs. Therefore, it is necessary for the treatment team to identify these needs and use them to provide appropriate spiritual care.

Authors: Behera Swikruti , Paluri Srinikhila Satya Santhoshi Lakshmi , Mishra Alpana 
Published: April 2024

BACKGROUND:
Globally, depression is one of the leading causes of illness and disability among adolescents, and suicide is the third leading cause of death among the young and adolescents. Since we have limited data on the prevalence of psychological distress among the youth of India, our aim was to estimate the prevalence of psychological distress, anxiety, and depression among students of professional colleges.

MATERIALS AND METHODS:
This study was conducted in Visakhapatnam, Andhra Pradesh (India). A total of 502 apparently healthy students have participated in this study. Data were collected from 243 medical students, 119 engineering students, 103 dental students, and 36 nursing students. A pretested, prevalidated, and structured Kessler's Psychological Distress Scale (K10) was used for the assessment of mental health among students. This is a self-administered questionnaire-based cross-sectional study. Microsoft Office Excel was used for data storage and tabulation. Mean, standard deviation, Chi-square test, Mann–Whitney U-test, and Kruskal–Wallis test were used to find the association difference between various parameters using SPSS 22 software.

RESULTS:
Out of 502 students, 34.7% of students were found to have normal mental health, 135 students were having mild mental problems, and 116 and 77 had moderate and severe mental illness, respectively. Out of 197 males, 66 were normal, 61, 46, and 24 had mild, moderate, and severe mental problems, respectively. Out of 305 females, only 108 were found to be normal.

CONCLUSION:
Male students were found to have higher prevalence of mental abnormalities. A significant higher prevalence of depression is seen in day-scholars compared to hostellers. Nursing students are having significantly higher prevalence of depression and nonpsychotic mental illness as compared to dental, engineering, and medical students. Medical students are having the lowest rate of depression than other nonmedical professional subjects.
Higher coronavirus disease-19 mortality linked to comorbidities
Authors: Jindal Har Ashish , Sahoo Soumya Swaroop , Jamir Limalemla , Kedar Ashwini , Sharma Sugandhi , Bhatt Bhumika 
Published: April 2024

BACKGROUND:
Global burden of disease (GBD) provides the estimates of mortality and morbidity, while case fatality rate (CFR) helps in understanding the severity of the disease. People infected with severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS CoV-2) with underlying medical conditions have shown higher levels of unfavorable outcomes including mortality. We assessed the association of SARS-CoV-2 CFR with disability-adjusted life years (DALY) of various comorbidities in the low-middle income countries (LMIC) and high-income countries (HIC) to study the relationship of coronavirus disease-19 (COVID-19) mortality with GBDs and to understand the linkage between COVID-19 mortality and comorbidities.

MATERIALS AND METHODS:
This was an ecological study with secondary data analysis comparing the DALY of various morbidities from GBD with CFR of COVID-19. Gross domestic product was the basis of stratifying 177 countries into low-middle income (LMIC) and high-income groups (HIC). The mortality was analyzed using Pearson correlation and linear regression.

RESULTS:
The median global CFR of SARS-CoV-2 was 2.15. The median CFR among LMIC (n = 60) and HIC (n = 117) was 2.01 (0.00–28.20) and 2.29 (0.00–17.26), respectively. The regression analysis found that, in both LMIC and HIC, maternal disorders were associated with higher SARS-CoV-2 CFR, while tuberculosis, mental health disorders, and were associated with lower CFR. Further, in LMIC, musculoskeletal disorders and nutritional deficiencies were associated with higher CFR, while respiratory disorders were associated with lower CFR.

CONCLUSIONS:
SARS-CoV-2 infection appears to be a systemic disease. Individuals with comorbidities, such as maternal disorders, neurological diseases, musculoskeletal disorders, and nutritional deficiencies, have poorer outcomes with COVID-19, leading to higher mortality.
