Electronic health record and primary care physician self-reported quality of care: a multilevel study in China
CONCLUSIONS: This study provides evidence that the availability of EHR systems, and specific features of these systems, was positively associated with physician self-reported quality of care in these 38 CHCs. Future longitudinal studies focused on standardised quality metrics, and designed to control known confounding variables, will further inform quality improvement efforts in primary care.PMID:38205626 | PMC:PMC10786430 | DOI:10.1080/16549716.2023.2301195 (Source: Global Health Action)

Adaptation and validation of the Children's Surgical Assessment Tool for Rwandan district hospitals
CONCLUSION: The adapted CSAT is appropriate for use in district hospitals in Rwanda to evaluate the capacity for paediatric surgery. This study provides a framework for adapting and validating a comprehensive paediatric surgical assessment tool to local contexts in LMICs and used in similar settings in sub-Saharan Africa.PMID:38193438 | PMC:PMC10778412 | DOI:10.1080/16549716.2023.2297870 (Source: Global Health Action)

Prevalence and associated factors for poor mental health among young migrants in Sweden: a cross-sectional study
CONCLUSION: The prevalence of poor mental health among young migrants in Sweden was high, with specific subgroups (women, asylum seekers, people arriving from Syria, and those residing longer in Sweden) being particularly vulnerable. Our results indicate the interconnectedness between poor mental health and sexual risk behaviour in this population. Thus, policies targeting young migrants should ensure that healthcare services screen for both poor sexual and mental health at the same time.PMID:38180014 | PMC:PMC10773640 | DOI:10.1080/16549716.2023.2294592 (Source: Global Health Action)

The effectiveness of rural community health workers in improving health outcomes during the COVID-19 pandemic: a systematic review
CONCLUSION: Rural CHWs may have improved access to health services and health outcomes during the COVID-19 pandemic in LMICs but more rigorous studies are needed during future pandemics to evaluate their effectiveness in improving health outcomes in different settings and to assess appropriate support required to ensure their impact at scale.PMID:38180049 | PMC:PMC10773683 | DOI:10.1080/16549716.2023.2292385 (Source: Global Health Action)

Epub 2023 Dec 22.ABSTRACTThe project 'Quality Decision-making by women and providers' (QUALI-DEC) combines four non-clinical interventions to promote informed decision-making surrounding mode of birth, improve women's birth experiences, and reduce caesarean sections among low-risk women. QUALI-DEC is currently being implemented in 32 healthcare facilities across Argentina, Burkina Faso, Thailand, and Viet Nam. In this paper, we detail implementation processes and the planned process evaluation, which aims to assess how and for whom QUALI-DEC...
