Surveys

Often, psychologists develop surveys as a means of gathering data. Surveys are lists of questions to be answered by research participants, and can be delivered as paper-and-pencil questionnaires, administered electronically, or conducted verbally. Generally, the survey itself can be completed in a short time, and the ease of administering a survey makes it easy to collect data from a large number of people.

Transmission-based Precautions II: Airborne and Protective Environment

1.2K
Transmission-based precautions are for patients infected or suspected to be infected (or colonized) with organisms posing a significant risk to others. The transmission precautions include airborne and protective environment precautions.
Airborne precautions:
Use airborne precautions when treating patients known or suspected to have diseases that spread through the air—for example, tuberculosis or measles. These organisms are present in smaller droplets expelled by an infected person and...

Factors Affecting the Risk of Infection01:26

Factors Affecting the Risk of Infection

11.5K
The hosts' susceptibility to infection depends on several factors. The integrity of the skin and mucous membranes helps protect the body against microbial attacks. When the skin is altered, the chance of infection, limb loss, and even death increases.
The integrity and count of the white blood cells help the body resist pathogens and fight infection. When impaired, it reduces the body's resistance to pathogens. The acidic pH levels of the gastrointestinal, genitourinary tracts, and skin...

Deindividuation00:57

Deindividuation

26.3K
Deindividuation is a form of social influence on an individual’s behavior such that the individual engages in unusual or non-normal behavior while in a group setting. Why? Because in these group settings, the individual no longer sees themselves as an individual anymore, disinhibiting their behavior and personal restraint.

PPE Use in Healthcare Settings II: Doffing

893
The sequence of removing or doffing PPE starts with the gloves, as they are the most contaminated. Next is removal of the face shield or goggles, as they would interfere with removing other PPE. Then remove the gown, followed by the mask or respirator. Perform hand hygiene between steps if hands become contaminated and immediately after removing all PPE. Generally, the outside front and sleeves of the isolation gown, the goggles or the mask, the respirator, and the face shield are contaminated.

Area of Science:

  • Public Health
  • Behavioral Science
  • Sociology

Background:

  • COVID-19 pandemic highlighted challenges in public health messaging, especially in refugee settings.
  • Lebanon hosts a significant refugee population, necessitating tailored health interventions.
  • Understanding refugee mask-wearing behavior is crucial for pandemic control.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To assess mask-wearing behaviors and intentions among refugees in Lebanon.
  • To identify factors influencing refugee mask-wearing during the COVID-19 pandemic.
  • To emphasize the need for targeted awareness campaigns for vulnerable populations.

Main Methods:

  • A survey was conducted with refugee representatives from non-governmental organizations (NGOs).
  • The survey utilized a customized approach based on the Theory of Interpersonal Behavior.
  • Data focused on refugees' mask-wearing behaviors, intentions, and influencing factors.

    • Main Results:

    • Refugee mask-wearing behavior is significantly influenced by the actions of others (social norms).
    • Refugees perceive masks as effective protective measures.
    • Intention to use masks in the future is high, contingent on supportive conditions.

    Conclusions:

    • Awareness campaigns should leverage social influence and highlight protective benefits.
    • Addressing enabling conditions is key to sustained mask-wearing practices among refugees.
    • Artificial intelligence presents a potential tool for future behavior monitoring in public health.
