Abstract

We identified international relocation as a source of stress for the expatriate family as it generates uncertainty, reduces control and increases ambiguity. We then described the initiatives taken by the State Department of the United States of America to reduce the stress that the family feels when relocating to a foreign assignment. Each initiative is discussed in terms of its potential to reduce uncertainty, increase control and reduce ambiguity. We concluded that the State Department provides a comprehensive set of initiatives which can help to reduce stress in the foreign-service family., Background Information The State Department of the United States of America (hereinafter referred to as the State Department) has diplomatic missions in more than 250 active posts around the world.

74. Maintenance and Development of Social Connection by People with Long-term Conditions : A Qualitative Study

Author

Wilkinson, Amanda, Bowen, Lucy, Gustavsson, Elias, Håkansson, Simon, Littleton, Nicole, McCormick, James, Thompson, Michelle, Mulligan, Hilda, Wilkinson, Amanda, Bowen, Lucy, Gustavsson, Elias, Håkansson, Simon, Littleton, Nicole, McCormick, James, Thompson, Michelle, and Mulligan, Hilda

Abstract

Social connection is important for people's health and well-being. Social isolation arising from a lack of meaningful connection with others can result in deterioration of well-being with negative consequences for health. For people living with multiple long-term conditions, the building and maintaining of social connection may be challenging. The aim of this study was to explore with people with long-term conditions how they perceive they maintain and develop social connections. We undertook semi-structured interviews with seventeen adults, and analyzed the data for themes. Themes were Meaningful connection, Wherewithal for social connection and Impact of a major change in life course. The findings suggest that social connection is valued, and facilitates meaningful ways to reciprocate support with others, thus enabling access to knowledge and resources for better health and well-being. However, people with long-term conditions can experience challenges to developing and maintaining social connectedness after a major change in life course. We suggest that healthcare providers are well placed to facilitate ways for people with long-term conditions to socially connect with others in their neighbourhood and community, and that this in particular be attended to after a major life change.

75. Box on shelf on box on ...: supermarkets, perversely, are one of the last places above-the-line marketing has failed to conquer. That could all change, however, if in-store TV and radio--currently niche media--take off.

Abstract

Delays in achieving the global eradication of wild poliovirus transmission continue to postpone subsequent cessation of all oral poliovirus vaccine (OPV) use. Countries must stop OPV use to end all cases of poliomyelitis, including vaccine‐associated paralytic polio (VAPP) and cases caused by vaccine‐derived polioviruses (VDPVs). The Global Polio Eradication Initiative (GPEI) coordinated global cessation of all type 2 OPV (OPV2) use in routine immunization in 2016 but did not successfully end the transmission of type 2 VDPVs (VDPV2s), and consequently continues to use type 2 OPV (OPV2) for outbreak response activities. Using an updated global poliovirus transmission and OPV evolution model, we characterize outbreak response options for 2019–2029 related to responding to VDPV2 outbreaks with a genetically stabilized novel OPV (nOPV2) strain or with the currently licensed monovalent OPV2 (mOPV2). Given uncertainties about the properties of nOPV2, we model different assumptions that appear consistent with the evidence on nOPV2 to date. Using nOPV2 to respond to detected cases may reduce the expected VDPV and VAPP cases and the risk of needing to restart OPV2 use in routine immunization compared to mOPV2 use for outbreak response. The actual properties, availability, and use of nOPV2 will determine its effects on type 2 poliovirus transmission in populations. Even with optimal nOPV2 performance, countries and the GPEI would still likely need to restart OPV2 use in routine immunization in OPV‐using countries if operational improvements in outbreak response to stop the transmission of cVDPV2s are not implemented effectively.

Abstract

The objective of this review was to summarise published studies reporting Six Minute Walk Test (6MWT) values for adults with and without long-term conditions, to compare these with the Walk Score®, and make recommendations for healthcare professionals, policy makers and urban planners. Scoping review. Key databases - MEDLINE, CINAHL and EMBASE – were searched from January 2008 through March 2019 using combinations of MeSH terms and keywords for English language, peer reviewed, intervention or observational studies. Articles were included if the research included more than 10 participants, described or referenced the protocol and setting used for the 6MWT, and reported on 6MWT values. Mean shortest and longest distances walked in six minutes by people with and without long-term conditions were extracted, and differences compared between each value and the Walk Score® value. Two hundred and sixty-nine studies comprising approximately 28,170 participants were included in the review. Adults with long-term conditions achieved considerably shorter 6MWT values than adults without long-term conditions, and walked less distance than indicated by the Walk Score®. The premise of the Walk Score® is applicable for adults without long-term conditions, but for the Walk Score® to be useful for adults with long-term conditions, it should be used only as a guide and if personal and environmental factors are also taken into consideration. The design of neighborhoods needs to be inclusively walkable so that people can 'care for their own health' through being physically active on an everyday basis. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Abstract

Purpose: To explore the experiences and perspectives of the healthcare professionals who were trained to and delivered "Minimise Fatigue, Maximise Life" (MFML), a patient-centered group-based fatigue self-management program for persons with multiple sclerosis. Methods: A qualitative descriptive study with semi-structured individual interviews at two time points. Data were analyzed for themes. Six healthcare professional facilitators who were trained to and delivered "Minimise Fatigue, Maximise Life" participated in a first interview, and five in a second. Participants were all female, aged between 23 and 66 years old and either occupational therapists or physiotherapists. Results: Two themes were evident in the data. The first, "Reciprocity," showed how the healthcare professionals were trained to deliver MFML, then reciprocated in the program delivery as active participants, which then provided feelings of personal reward and expansion of their usual practice. The second, "Enhancements," encompassed suggested directions for future training and deliveries of the program. Conclusion: This study suggests that multidimensional patient centered interventions also benefit the healthcare professionals who provide them because it expands their practice. Healthcare professionals who recognize the benefits of innovative and patient-centered interventions, supports both the patients with whom they work, and adds value to the health services they provide. Healthcare professionals who undergo training to facilitate delivery of self-management programs, which are based in an empowerment model, report an enhancement or expansion of their traditional practice. An empowerment-based program delivered in a group situation encourages and facilitates people to draw on their own and peers' knowledge and expertise to problem solve for self-management. Healthcare professional education should facilitate the healthcare professional's learning, and ability and willingness to acknowledge the richness in knowledge and expertise held by their patients.
