Acceptance of multiple injectable vaccines in a single immunization visit in The Gambia pre and post introduction of inactivated polio vaccine

BackgroundAs the World Health Organization (WHO) currently recommends that children be protected against 11 different pathogens, it is becoming increasingly necessary to administer multiple injectable vaccines during a single immunization visit. In this study we assess Gambian healthcare providers’ and infant caregivers’ attitudes and practices related to the administration of multiple injectable vaccines to a child at a single immunization visit before and after the 2015 introduction of inactivated polio vaccine (IPV). IPV introduction increased the number of injectable vaccines recommended for the 4-month immunization visit from two to three in The Gambia.MethodsWe conducted a cross-sectional questionnaire-based survey before and after the introduction of IPV at 4 months of age in a representative sample of all health facilities providing immunizations in The Gambia. Healthcare providers who administer vaccines at the selected health facilities and caregivers who brought infants for their 4 month immunization visit were surveyed.FindingsPrior to IPV introduction, 9.9% of healthcare providers and 35.7% of infant caregivers expressed concern about a child receiving more than 2 injections in a single visit. Nevertheless, 98.8% and 90.9% of infants received all required vaccinations for the visit before and after IPV introduction, respectively. The only reason why vaccines were not received was vaccine stock-outs. Infant caregivers generally agreed that vaccinators could be trusted to provide accurate information regarding the number of vaccines that a child needed.ConclusionHealthcare providers and infant caregivers in this resource limited setting accepted an increase in the number of injectable vaccines administered at a single visit even though some expressed concerns about the increase.     

Health status,work limitations,and return-to-work trajectories in injured workers with musculoskeletal disorders

BACKGROUND: The purpose of this study was to describe the health status and work limitations in injured workers with musculoskeletal disorders at 1 month post-injury, stratified by return-to-work status, and to document their return-to-work trajectories 6 months post-injury. METHODS: A sample of 632 workers with a back or upper extremity musculoskeletal disorder, who filed a Workplace Safety and Insurance Board lost-time claim injury, participated in this prospective study. Participants were assessed at baseline (1 month post-injury) and at 6 months follow-up. RESULTS: One month post-injury, poor physical health, high levels of depressive symptoms and high work limitations are prevalent in workers, including in those with a sustained first return to work. Workers with a sustained first return to work report a better health status and fewer work limitations than those who experienced a recurrence of work absence or who never returned to work. Six months post-injury, the rate of recurrence of work absence in the trajectories of injured workers who have made at least one return to work attempt is high (38%), including the rate for workers with an initial sustained first return to work (27%). CONCLUSIONS: There are return-to-work status specific health outcomes in injured workers. A sustained first return to work is not equivalent to a complete recovery from musculoskeletal disorders.

Predicting work status following interdisciplinary treatment for chronic pain.

The effectiveness of interdisciplinary treatments for chronic pain is well established. In general, these treatments decrease psychosocial distress and increase physical abilities. Further, return to work rates following interdisciplinary treatment tend to be quite high. Previous studies have highlighted a number of factors that individually influence return to work rates; however, there is a need for more comprehensive and unified models that allow an evaluation of the inter-relations among these factors. The present investigation examined how demographic and treatment outcome variables interacted to influence post-treatment return to work rates in a sample of individuals with chronic pain following interdisciplinary treatment. Results indicated that patient age, lifting ability, pain duration, depression level, and reported disability were individually related to return to work; however, when these variables were evaluated relative to one another, level of depression and patient age had the best ability to predict post-treatment work status. These results add to the literature by specifically highlighting post-treatment factors that best discriminate patients who had returned to work from those that had not. Furthermore, they provide evidence that general emotional distress is perhaps the most important predictor of work status following treatment.     

影响注意缺陷多动障碍患儿就诊因素的分析

目的分析探讨影响注意缺陷多动障碍（ADHD）患儿延迟就诊的因素。方法采用家庭环境量表（FES-CV）及自编简明就诊因素问卷对68例ADHD患儿的家长进行调查评定，分析影响延迟就诊的相关因素。结果61例患儿完成调查。所有因素经多元线性逐步回归分析，3个自变量差异具有统计学意义，分别为分型（Beta值：-0．449），接触知识（Beta值：0．369），父亲文化（Beta值：-0．268）。结论影响患儿就诊时间延迟的因素有3种情况，其顺序如下：（1）ADHD的注意缺陷型；（2）家长缺乏儿童心理卫重知识；（3）父亲的文化程度低。     

幼儿攻击性行为游戏矫正的倒返设计研究

目的：探讨幼儿集体游戏用于矫正幼儿攻击性行为的效果。方法：采用倒返实验，对三名被试进行了游戏矫正。结果：三名被试在实验的基线阶段有明显的攻击性行为，游戏介入后攻击性行为明显减少，游戏取消后攻击性行为再度增加，游戏再次介入后，攻击性行为再次明显减少；方差检验的结果表明，被试在基线阶段的攻击性行为与游戏矫正后的攻击性行为差异极显著。结论：运用自然的幼儿集体游戏可以矫正幼儿的攻击性行为。

剖宫产术前访视术后支持的临床研究

目的:探讨术前访视术后支持心理干预在缓解围术期应激反应的作用及对术后恢复的影响。方法:术前手术室护士到床前与产妇交流,自我介绍并交待术前注意事项,术前术后进行矫正认知及松弛训练。结果:通过术前访视的产妇围术期的血压、心率较对照组明显稳定,术后疼痛心理评分6h后明显低于对照组,术后肠蠕动恢复及下地时间方面较对照组明显提前。结论:剖宫产术前访视能减轻产妇围术期应激反应,并能促进产妇术后早日恢复。
