Background: In response to the 2019 Polio outbreak in the Philippines, it is crucial to examine the current understanding and beliefs about the disease. This study assessed the knowledge and attitudes of mothers towards Polio and Polio vaccination in a rural community. Materials and Methods: Sixty-two mothers in a selected rural barangay in Negros Occidental, Philippines, participated in this cross-sectional study using a survey questionnaire in July 2021. Descriptive statistics and correlation analysis were employed. Results: The results showed that 43.50% of mothers had a high level of knowledge and 74.20% had a favorable attitude towards Polio and Polio immunization. There was a significant relationship ( p = 0.05) between knowledge and attitude towards Polio and Polio immunization. Conclusions: This study underscores addressing knowledge gaps through public health campaigns may improve beliefs and perceptions about immunization programs.

Polio Disease and Immunization: Knowledge and Attitude of Filipino Mothers in a Rural Community

脊髓灰质炎疾病与免疫接种：菲律宾农村社区母亲的知识与态度

Background: Recent evidence suggests a negative correlation between physical activity and the incidence and severity of noncommunicable chronic diseases like cardiovascular disease, diabetes, and respiratory infections. This study explores the potential influence of physical activity levels on the mortality rate and coronavirus disease (COVID-19) recovery. Materials and Methods: This descriptive analytical cross-sectional study evaluated 175 Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR)–confirmed COVID-19 patients admitted to Baqiyatallah Hospital. The participants’ hospitalization data and physical activity levels were assessed. The Mann–Whitney U test explored the association between physical activity and COVID-19 outcomes. Results: Findings revealed that COVID-19 patients had a mean (SD) physical activity score of 6.55 (1.76) out of a possible 15. The mean scores for physical activity in work, sport, and leisure environments were 2.69 (0.49), 1.37 (1.45), and 2.49 (0.59) out of 5, respectively. Surviving patients exhibited significantly higher sports-specific and overall physical activity levels than those who succumbed to the disease. A Man–Whitney U test results noted statistically significant relationship between total and sports-specific physical activity, hospitalization (interquartile range (IQR) 2.3-3.06, p = 0.020 and IQR 2.5-3, p = 0.010, respectively), and mortality (IQR 0.44-2.75, p = 0.020 and IQR 1.47-2.97, p = 0.020). Conclusions: In summary, increased total physical activity, particularly in a sports environment, appears to be linked with reduced COVID-19 hospitalization and mortality rates.

The Role of Physical Activity in COVID-19 Mortality Rate: A Cross-Sectional Study

COVID-19死亡率中身体活动的作用：一项横断面研究

Background: Men’s engagement in maternal and child health care in the preconception health forum is essential because it allows primary prevention of maternal and infant mortality and morbidity. This review aimed to identify strategies to engage men in preconception health. Materials and Methods: This scoping review was conducted from August to September 2022. The database searches included PubMed, EBSCO, and ProQuest from 2012 to 2022, related to men’s involvement in reproductive health, preconception health, family planning, maternity, and infant care; articles written in English; national (Indonesia) and international articles; and appropriate thesis. The searched keywords were man/male role, premarital, preconception, reproductive health, and fertility. Results: The electronic searches turned to 1969 articles, 16 of which met the inclusion criteria and were selected for study analysis. This review identified three themes: identifying programs that are sensitive to the limitations of men; developing community outreach strategies; and engaging management principles, policy, and legislation. Conclusions: Efforts to engage men in preconception health can be complicated, but several strategic programs have demonstrated some success. Subsequent programs that require men’s participation in preconception health services must be sensitive to the identified barriers.

How to Engage Men in Preconception Health?: A Scoping Review

如何吸引男性参与孕前健康？：一项范围综述

Background: The purpose of this scoping review is to identify the models of Health Information Disorders (HIDs), the components of these models, their study setting, and their designing approaches. Materials and Methods: In this study, PubMed, Web Of Science (WOS), Scopus, ProQuest, and Embase databases were searched to identify relevant articles. After screening the identified studies, 22 studies were selected. Data was extracted based on objectives and was combined and summarized by a narrative method. Results: The analysis of articles showed most of the included studies presented conceptual models or frameworks that provide a more structured and comprehensive view of a topic. The elements and components of the HID models were categorized into five main components, including information issues, communication issues, psychology issues, social issues and theories. Most studies employed, existing theories, evidence, or principles to design their approaches. The main setting of studies were COVID-19 and related topics such as vaccination. Conclusions: By synthesizing the HID models we tried to find the gap among types, components, designing approaches and setting of models. It seems we need some HID models based on contextual frameworks to understand deeply the way of being born, spread and death of HIDs in society. Also, future advancements in HID models should focus on other diseases rather than COVID-19 to provide a holistic approach in diverse healthcare landscapes.

Health Information Disorders Models: A Scoping Review

健康信息紊乱模型：范围综述

Background: Electrocardiogram (ECG) is considered one of the most frequently carried out diagnostic tests in emergency rooms. To develop and refine the competencies of emergency nurses, it becomes imperative to assess the current level of knowledge and practice among nurses regarding ECG and other diagnostic tests. The study aimed to assess the ECG interpretation competency and its associated factors among emergency nurses in Jordan. Materials and Methods: A descriptive cross-sectional study was conducted from December 2022 to March 2023. Data were collected from 287 Jordanian emergency nurses working in six governmental, private, and teaching hospitals, and they had at least 1 year of clinical experience. Badell-Coll ECG Interpretation Competency Questionnaire was used in this study. Descriptive analyses were conducted using an independent t -test and one-way analysis of variance. A statistical significance of P &lt; 0.05 was assumed. Results: Approximately, 61.43% of emergency nurses had been involved in educational sessions on ECG interpretation. The mean of the total participants’ score on the ECG assessment tool was 4.35 out of 10. Significant differences were found in the ECG interpretation competency scores based on the highest educational level (t 285 = -0.64, P &lt; 0.001), job title (t 285 = -5.91, P &lt; 0.001), and previous engagement in ECG training sessions (t 285 = 2.50, P = 0.013). Conclusions: The level of emergency nurses’ ECG interpretation competency was low. Nurses should engage in ECG refreshing courses to improve their ability to detect arrhythmias early. Efforts should be made to improve the nursing educational curricula and ECG training sessions by employing electronic systems and addressing both basic and advanced arrhythmias.
