Methods Of Healthcare Delivery System

3.6K
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...

Community Based Intervention01:30

Community Based Intervention

101
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...

Obesity01:24

Obesity

654
The Body Mass Index (BMI) is a numerical value derived from a person's weight and height, used to categorize individuals into weight ranges. It is calculated using the formula: weight in kilograms divided by height in meters squared. Obesity is a health condition characterized by excessive accumulation of adipose tissue that poses health risks, often diagnosed with a BMI ≥ 30. This excess fat storage occurs when surplus dietary calories are converted into triglycerides and stored in...

Strategies for Assessing and Addressing Confounding

168
Confounding is a critical issue in epidemiological studies, often leading to misleading conclusions about associations between exposures and outcomes. It occurs when the relationship between the exposure and the outcome is mixed with the effects of other factors that influence the outcome. Given that, addressing confounding is of high importance for drawing accurate inferences in research.
Confounding can be addressed at both the design phase of a study and through analytical methods after data...

Parentral Nutrition: Centeral and Peripheral Parental Nutrition

337
Parenteral Nutrition (PN) delivers essential nutrients directly into the bloodstream, bypassing the digestive system. It is commonly used for individuals with severe digestive disorders or conditions that prevent normal nutrient absorption.
PN can be administered through two primary routes:
1. Central Parenteral Nutrition (CPN):
CPN involves delivering a high concentration of nutrients through a large vein. This is typically achieved using a Peripherally Inserted Central Catheter (PICC) or,...

Primary Healthcare Services01:30

Primary Healthcare Services

1.5K
Primary care promotes wellness and prevents disease. This care includes health promotion, education, protection (such as immunizations), early disease screening, and environmental considerations. Settings providing this type of healthcare include physician offices, public health clinics, school nursing, and community health nursing.
In 1978, international leaders convened in Alma-Ata, Kazakhstan, for what would be a pivotal event in global health. The Alma-Ata Declaration was the first to call...

Area of Science:

  • Public Health
  • Nutrition Science
  • Behavioral Science

Background:

  • Optimal infant and young child feeding practices (IYCFP) are crucial for preventing childhood stunting and promoting health.
  • Tanzania faces a significant challenge with 32% of children under five years stunted, indicating suboptimal IYCFP.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate the association between behavior change communication (BCC) interventions and improved IYCFP in Tanzania.
  • To assess the impact of BCC on key infant and young child feeding indicators.

Main Methods:

  • A cross-sectional survey involving approximately 10,000 households with children under two years was conducted at baseline and endline.
  • Bivariate analyses and logistic regression were employed to analyze the relationship between BCC exposure and IYCFP outcomes.

Main Results:

  • Mothers exposed to radio spots on IYCFP were more likely to initiate complementary foods at six months and achieve minimum meal frequency (MMF), minimum dietary diversity (MDD), and minimum acceptable diet (MAD).
  • Exposure to TV spots on IYCFP was associated with increased likelihood of knowing when to start complementary feeding, feeding a minimally diverse diet, and serving a minimum acceptable diet.

Conclusions:

  • Exposure to BCC in Tanzania was linked to enhanced knowledge and practice of optimal IYCFP.
  • BCC campaigns represent a valuable strategy for reducing undernutrition and improving health outcomes in developing countries.
