Comparison of quality metrics in an education-centered medical home with local and national benchmarks
Med Educ Online. 2022 Dec;27(1):2073806. doi: 10.1080/10872981.2022.2073806.ABSTRACTThe Education-Centered Medical Home (ECMH) is a longitudinal clerkship where students provide care to patients at one clinic site for the entirety of medical school. Studies have demonstrated that ECMHs have higher completion rates of preventative measures than traditional student-run free clinics (SRFCs). However, data comparing ECMHs with licensed primary care provider clinics are limited. We performed a prospective chart review that examined vaccination and cancer screening rates of patients in an ECMH and those seen by primary care phys...

Educating on professional habits: attitudes of medical students towards diverse strategies for promoting influenza vaccination and factors associated with the intention to get vaccinated
Conclusion: Given that previous vaccination is a factor associated with the intention to get vaccinated, education on vaccination of health care workers should begin while they are students, thereby potentiating the habit. In addition, the intention to get vaccinated was greater during the clinical phase of the university career, suggesting this is a good time to introduce promotion strategies. Online promotional campaigns, such as a thematic Web to promote vaccination of health workers, could improve the intention to get vaccinated.

Viral infections of pigs used for medical education. A Japanese experience.
Abstract Infectious viruses pose a threat to all living organisms, including humans, and can cause significant morbidity. Previous experience with pigs in medical education and research, rather than in domestic control settings, has led to a unique perspective on viral infections in swine. In this article, common porcine infectious diseases have been listed, based mainly on the authors' experience thus far. For example, young domestic pigs that were used in surgical training and infected with hepatitis E were subjected to quarantine and isolation treatment, and attempts were made to develop a DNA vaccine for swine...

Attitudes of medical students towards the influenza vaccination
Conclusions: Positive attitudes towards the flu vaccine are driven by a desire to protect self, others and prevent cross-infection, whereas negative attitudes are largely due to misconceptions about the vaccine. Hospitals and Universities should dispel misconceptions about the vaccine, but recognise that negative attitudes do not account fully for low uptake in students.

Comparison of physicians and medical students knowledge in the treatment and prevention of COPD according to the final results of the ASCO-II study
Conclusions: We revealed a lack level of senior medical students’ and physicians’ knowledge in the prevention and treatment of COPD. Therefore it is necessary to introduce additional educational programs in this direction.

Healthcare personnel in 2016-2019 prospective cohort infrequently got vaccinated, worked while ill, and frequently used antibiotics rather than antivirals against viral influenza illnesses
Influenza Other Respir Viruses. 2023 Sep 7;17(9):e13189. doi: 10.1111/irv.13189. eCollection 2023 Sep.ABSTRACTBACKGROUND: Uncertainty about risk of illness and the value of influenza vaccines negatively affects vaccine uptake among persons targeted for influenza vaccination.METHODS: During 2016-2019, we followed a cohort of healthcare personnel (HCP) targeted for free-of-charge influenza vaccination in five Lima hospitals to quantify risk of influenza, workplace presenteeism (coming to work despite illness), and absenteeism (taking time off from work because of illness). The HCP who developed acute respiratory illnesses (A...

Discrepancies Between US Food and Drug Administration Vaccine Licensure Indications and Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices Recommendations: Provider Knowledge and Attitudes.
The objectives of this study were: (1) to categorize differences between FDA vaccine licensure indications and ACIP/CDC vaccine recommendations for vaccines; and (2) to assess knowledge, attitudes, and practices of pediatricians, family physicians, and obstetrician-gynecologists regarding their understanding of differences. METHODS: Information was extracted from FDAvaccine package inserts, and corresponding information was collected for ACIP/CDC vaccine recommendations (2000-2014) for vaccines in the childhood and adult immunization schedules. Surveys regarding knowledge of discrepancies were distributed electronical...

Factors associated with vaccination for hepatitis B, pertussis, seasonal and pandemic influenza among French general practitioners: A 2010 survey.
Abstract Our objectives were to describe the vaccine coverage (VC(1)) for some occupational vaccines (hepatitis B, pertussis, seasonal and pandemic influenza) among French General Practitioners (GPs(2)) and to study the factors associated with being vaccinated for each of these four diseases. We surveyed a representative national sample of 1431 self-employed GPs in France. Self-reported VC was 76.9% for 2009/10 seasonal influenza, 73.0% for hepatitis B, 63.9% for pertussis and 60.8% for A/H1N1 pandemic influenza. The factors associated with reporting being vaccinated were quite different from one vaccine to anothe...

Impact of patient education on influenza vaccine uptake among community-dwelling elderly: a randomized controlled trial
AbstractThis randomized controlled trial aimed to test the effectiveness of brief face-to-face patient education in increasing influenza vaccination rate among elderly in the community. Recruitment and intervention were conducted at two general outpatient clinics in Hong Kong. 529 eligible patients were randomly assigned to intervention or control group with 1:1 allocation ratio. Patients in the intervention group received 3-min one-on-one verbal education by medical students and a pamphlet regarding influenza vaccination. Neither verbal health education nor pamphlet was given to the control group. Intention-to-treat analy...

Assessment of physicians and undergraduates in COPD: ASCO-2 study
Conclusion: Despite the availability of COPD-related guides and trainings, respondents demonstrated lack of knowledge in its basics. The level of incorrect answers reached 54.0% in certain centers. Thus, subject of COPD must be studied more thoroughly in medical higher schools.
