Bystander Effect02:09

Bystander Effect

The discussion of bullying highlights the problem of witnesses not intervening to help a victim. This is a common occurrence, as the following well-publicized event demonstrates. In 1964, in Queens, New York, a 19-year-old woman named Kitty Genovese was attacked by a person with a knife near the back entrance to her apartment building and again in the hallway inside her apartment building. When the attack occurred, she screamed for help numerous times and eventually died from her stab wounds.
Steps in Outbreak Investigation01:18

Steps in Outbreak Investigation

In the ever-evolving field of public health, statistical analysis serves as a cornerstone for understanding and managing disease outbreaks. By leveraging various statistical tools, health professionals can predict potential outbreaks, analyze ongoing situations, and devise effective responses to mitigate impact. For that to happen, there are a few possible stages of the analysis:
Methods Of Healthcare Delivery System01:26

Methods Of Healthcare Delivery System

At the different levels of the healthcare system, we see varying methods of healthcare used. These methods include managed care systems, case management, and primary healthcare.
Managed Care System:
The managed care system is designed to control the cost while maintaining the quality of care. The patient's care from admission to discharge is planned by the primary care provider or the case manager, also known as the gatekeeper. In a managed care system, the number of care providers is limited...
Community Based Intervention01:30

Community Based Intervention

Community-based interventions in mental health represent a paradigm shift from institution-centered care to treatments embedded within the fabric of local communities. By prioritizing inclusion and leveraging existing societal structures, this approach fosters a supportive environment conducive to addressing mental health challenges while promoting individual dignity and agency.
Foundations of Community Mental Health Programs
Central to the success of community-based interventions is the...
International Nursing Organizations II01:28

International Nursing Organizations II

The World Health Organization (WHO) is a specialized agency of the United Nations based in Geneva. The WHO has many initiatives that center around health. Primarily, they lead global efforts to expand universal health coverage using science-based policies and programs. They are also responsible for shaping health research agendas and developing norms and standards.
The WHO provides expert team support, including funding, vaccines, testing, and treatment tools at the country level to fight...
The Evidence for Evolution02:55

The Evidence for Evolution

Genetic variations accumulating within populations over generations give rise to biological evolution. Evolutionary changes can result in the formation of novel varieties and entire new species. These changes are responsible for the diverse forms of life inhabiting the planet. The evidence for evolution suggests that all living organisms descended from common ancestors.

Area of Science:

  • Humanitarian Crises Research
  • Evidence-Based Practice
  • Disaster Management

Background:

  • Reviews definitions of evidence and methodological approaches for collecting and analyzing data in humanitarian contexts.
  • Addresses the perceived tension between evidence-based and principled approaches in humanitarian action, arguing it is often unnecessary.
  • Emphasizes that research method selection hinges on researcher objectives, focusing on intervention, context, and causal chain complexity.

Discussion:

  • Examines the evolution of evidence-based approaches in humanitarian crises.
  • Discusses the move from focusing on inputs and outputs to prioritizing outcomes and impacts.
  • Highlights the increasing importance of partnerships in research and the inclusion of beneficiaries and target groups.

Key Insights:

  • Evidence-based action in humanitarian crises requires careful consideration of research objectives and methods.
  • The field is shifting towards measuring broader impacts and fostering collaborative research.
  • A diverse range of methodologies is increasingly accepted for establishing robust evidence.

Outlook:

  • Future humanitarian research will likely focus more on measurable outcomes and impacts.
  • Increased collaboration and participatory methods will shape evidence generation in crises.
  • Adaptability in research approaches is crucial for effective humanitarian response.
