Rehabilitation models for community integration of adults with acquired brain injury in rural areas: a scoping review
CONCLUSION: The relatively low number of included articles and limited geographical distribution of studies indicate that more research is needed on rehabilitation models aimed at promoting CI in adults with ABI in rural areas. Although we identified several existing approaches to rehabilitation service provision in rural areas, there is still a need to develop models that fully consider the complexity and long-term nature of CI after ABI. The results also demonstrate that CI in rural areas not only is dependent on professional service delivery aimed at the individual with ABI but also can be promoted by supporting signifi...

Remote Delivery of Mindful Movement Within Healthcare Systems: Lessons Learned From the Veterans Health Administration
Glob Adv Integr Med Health. 2024 Mar 17;13:27536130241235908. doi: 10.1177/27536130241235908. eCollection 2024 Jan-Dec.ABSTRACTMindful Movement approaches have been a growing part of the Veterans Health Administration (VA). Innovations in tele-health technology had been an important initiative before the public health emergency to meet the needs of rural veterans as well as challenges in getting to a physical location for care. The onset of the COVID-19 pandemic accelerated this transition to tele-delivery of many practices including mindful movement. This paper aims to share lessons learned from virtual delivery of mindfu...

Understanding rural pharmacists' perspectives: lived experiences and insights associated with rural recruitment and retention
CONCLUSION: Rural pharmacist recruitment and retention is complex, requiring a multi-pronged approach to implement practical solutions. Given this complexity and the unique features of each rural community, solutions require whole-of-community ownership to create innovative solutions. Recognition of specific advantages and challenges can address key driving factors for pharmacist recruitment and retention in rural communities.PMID:38494593 | DOI:10.22605/RRH8687 (Source: Rural Remote Health)

Agreement between parent-report and EMR height, weight, and BMI among rural children
DISCUSSION: Remote pediatric anthropometry is a valid supplement for clinical assessment, conditional on direct measurement within 7 days.

Anaesthesia delivery systems in low and lower-middle-income Asian countries: A scoping review of capacity and effectiveness
PLOS Glob Public Health. 2024 Mar 18;4(3):e0001953. doi: 10.1371/journal.pgph.0001953. eCollection 2024.ABSTRACTLiterature on anaesthesia systems in low and lower middle-income countries is limited, focused on the Africa region, and provides minimal data on anaesthesia or associated disciplines within intensive care, pain management and emergency medicine. We thus conducted a scoping review of primary and secondary research literature on capacity and effectiveness of anaesthesia delivery in low and lower middle-income countries in the Asia region from 2000-2021, to clarify existing knowledge, important gaps, and possible s...

Neurological Care within the Indian Health Service
Semin Neurol. 2024 Mar 18. doi: 10.1055/s-0044-1782517. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTAmerican Indians and Alaska Natives (AI/AN) are the Indigenous peoples of the United States. According to the U.S. Census Bureau, approximately 9.7 million people self-identified as AI/AN (alone or in combination with other races), representing 2.9% of the total U.S. population. These people represent diverse groups of discrete Tribes, each with their language, culture, and geographic home. As part of the conquest and settlement of North America, some Indigenous peoples signed treaties with the U.S. government, surrendering their lands in...

Exploring treatment burden in people with type 2 diabetes mellitus: a thematic analysis in china's primary care settings
CONCLUSIONS: This study provides insights into the treatment burden of T2DM. A conceptual framework was finalised to deepen the understanding of the multifaceted constructs and the nature of treatment burden in people with T2DM. Furthermore, it emphasises the need to tailor T2DM treatment to individual capacities, considering their personal resource allocation and treatment utilisation.PMID:38491369 | DOI:10.1186/s12875-024-02301-y (Source: Rural Remote Health)

Physical activity interventions among youth living in rural and remote areas: A systematic review
CONCLUSION: Few community-based PA interventions have been evaluated in rural areas. There is a need for future evaluations in rural areas and include PA as an outcome measure.IMPLICATIONS FOR PUBLIC HEALTH: The findings highlight the need for measurement of PA outcomes in PA interventions in rural and remote areas. The findings also highlight the need for research to utilise a standardised measure of rurality.PMID:38489936 | DOI:10.1016/j.anzjph.2024.100137 (Source: Rural Remote Health)

Functional outcome and associations with prehospital time and urban-remote disparities in trauma: A Norwegian national population-based study
CONCLUSIONS: The majority of trauma patients admitted to a trauma hospital in Norway were discharged with minimal change in functional outcome. Patients with severe injuries (NISS > 15) and patients with injuries from falls experienced the greatest decline in function. Every minute increase in total prehospital time was linked to an increased likelihood of moderate disability in children and adults. Furthermore, incurring injuries in urban areas was found to be associated with higher odds of moderate disability in all age groups, while remote areas were found to be associated with higher odds of severe disability or veg...

Last-mile delivery increases vaccine uptake in Sierra Leone
Nature. 2024 Mar 13. doi: 10.1038/s41586-024-07158-w. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTLess than 30% of people in Africa received a dose of the COVID-19 vaccine even 18 months after vaccine development1. Here, motivated by the observation that residents of remote, rural areas of Sierra Leone faced severe access difficulties2, we conducted an intervention with last-mile delivery of doses and health professionals to the most inaccessible areas, along with community mobilization. A cluster randomized controlled trial in 150 communities showed that this intervention with mobile vaccination teams increased the immunization rate by...
