Knowledge, Attitude and Practice of Unintentional Injuries Among Old People i...Scientific Review SR
Objective: To describe the KAP (knowledge, attitude and practice, KAP) and explore the influence factors for UIs (unintentional injuries, UIs) among the elderly (aged>﹦60 years) in urban districts of Zunyi, China. Methods: Using random cluster sampling method, a survey was conducted with questionnaires, to collect UIs and related KAP in the elderly and analyze its influencing factors. Results: The annual incidence of UIs (falls, burns, traffics, etc.) was 17.46% in some urban districts of Zunyi. Among them, 27.94% elderly regarded UI as a type of disease; the channels to acquire related knowledge through TV (79.05%), listening to others’ narration (56.83%), community publicity (26.03%), books or newspapers (22.86%) and internet (9.84%). While 76.51% of the elderly believed that UIs were preventable; 81.59% old people worried about UIs; 93.97% of the elderly chose to seek help when they suffered UIs; and 95.25% of elderly people followed traffic rules when crossing the road. In the case of gas use, 25.77% of the cases were checked and closed each time, 40% and 20% old people would check the time before taking the medicine, and purchasing food. Factors affecting the occurrence of UIs were age, heart disease (both P<0.05). Moreover, the living condition had an effect on “whether considering UIs as a kind of disease” (P=0.003). Conclusion: The KAP of UIs in the elderly is not optimistic, though most elderly people think the damage can be prevented; prevention on UIs related behavior needs to be enhanced. We should arouse the public to pay more attentions to keep elderly people far away UIs risk factors in this area.

Clinical Problem
A report from the Center for Disease Control and Prevention in 2015 revealed that (9.4%) 30.3 million Americans are diabetic and 84.1 million have prediabetes. This is a total population of over 100 million is at risk of developing type 2 diabetes which is a growing health problem being the seventh leading cause of death in the U.S. An estimated 1.5 million new cases were among 18-year old bracket and the rates of diagnosed diabetes increased proportionally to age. Below 44 years accounted for 4%, below 64 years at 17 % and 25% for those above 65 years across both genders. One-third of adults in America has prediabetes but sadly, they are unaware despite reports released by The National Diabetes Statistics Report every year. These reports elaborate on prevalence and incidence, prediabetes, long-term complications, risk factors, mortality, and cost. Diabetes poses the risk of serious complications like death, blindness, stroke, kidney disorders, cardiac diseases and health problems that lead to amputation of legs. However, the risks can be mitigated through physical body activities, proper dieting and prescribed use of insulin and other related measures to control the blood sugar levels. Diabetes Prevention Program was funded by NIH to research a yearly evidence-based program to improve healthy weight loss through diet and physical activities. There also efforts to determine the effectiveness of public service campaigns in improving the real-life experience in the diagnosis and treatment of diabetes.
PICOT Question.
The population affected by diabetes cuts across all ages, gender, race, and ethnicity. The prevalence is significantly high from 18 years and it increases with age to about 25% above 65 years. In terms of gender, men are at higher risk accounting for 37% while women are at 30% across races and educational levels. On races, the rates were higher among Indians/Alaska natives at 15%, non-Hispanic blacks at 12.7% and Hispanics at 12%. Among Asians, the rates were lower at 8% and 7.4% for non-Hispanic whites.
Intervention indicator for diabetes shows that individuals who do not observe a healthy diet are more exposed to the disease. Some risk behaviors include lack of exercise and excessive intake of junk foods that lead to obesity and increased blood sugar levels. Diabetes prevalence varied according to education levels were those with less than high school education at 12.6% and 7.2% for those higher than high school education.
Comparison and use of a control group from the popularity of Complementary and Alternative Medicine and Traditional Chinese Medicine showed distinct knowledge of diabetes, blood sugar control, and self-care. The experimental group received education through interactive multimedia for three months while the control group received.

Abstract: There is overwhelming
evidence in the scientific and medical
literature that physical inactivity is a
major public health problem with a
wide array of harmful effects. Over 50%
of health status can be attributed to
unhealthy behaviors with smoking, diet,
and physical inactivity as the main
contributors. Exercise has been used
in both the treatment and prevention
of a variety of chronic conditions such
as heart disease, pulmonary disease,
diabetes, and obesity. While the
negative effects of physical inactivity
are widely known, there is a gap
between what physicians tell their
patients and exercise compliance.
Exercise is Medicine was established
in 2007 by the American College of
Sports Medicine to inform and educate
physicians and other health care
providers about exercise as well as
bridge the widening gap between health
care and health fitness. Physicians have
many competing demands at the point
of care, which often translates into
limited time spent counseling patients.
The consistent message from all health
care providers to their patients should
be to start or to continue a regular
exercise program. Exercise is Medicine
is a solution that enables physicians to
support their patients in implementing
exercise as part of their disease
prevention and treatment strategies.
Keywords: inactivity; exercise; vitals;
behaviors; referral
Physical inactivity underlies many
of the chronic conditions that
affect people worldwide, has an
astonishing array of harmful health
effects, and is associated with escalating
health care costs. For example, 7 cancers
have been linked to a physically inactive
lifestyle.1 Depression affects 17 million
Americans2 and has been directly linked
to insufficient physical activity.3
Alzheimer’s disease and related
dementias are increasing at a frightening
rate. By 2025, the number of people
aged 65 years and older with Alzheimer’s
disease is expected to reach 7.1 million
people. In the United States alone, more
than 30 million adults are estimated to
have diabetes,4 95% of whom have type
2 diabetes (T2DM). Considering that a
new case of diabetes is diagnosed every
21 seconds, it is no surprise that diabetes
is the most expensive disease in America,
coming in at a price tag of $327 billion
annually.5 Underlying the vast majority of
T2DM are unhealthy lifestyle behaviors
(poor nutrition and insufficient physical
activity leading to overweight and
obesity). In addition to T2DM, an
unhealthy lifestyle (including tobacco
use, excessive alcohol intake, poor sleep,
and stress) underlies prevalent and costly
chronic diseases (eg, heart disease and
cancer) leading to premature morbidity
and mortality.
While other determinants of health
(genetics, environment, and medical
care) influence health outcomes, by far
the most important factor contributing to
health outcomes is in.
The case study discusses the potential of drone delivery and the challenges that need to be addressed before it becomes widespread.
Key takeaways:
Drone delivery is in its early stages: Amazon's trial in the UK demonstrates the potential for faster deliveries, but it's still limited by regulations and technology.
Regulations are a major hurdle: Safety concerns around drone collisions with airplanes and people have led to restrictions on flight height and location.
Other challenges exist: Who will use drone delivery the most? Is it cost-effective compared to traditional delivery trucks?
Discussion questions:
Managerial challenges: Integrating drones requires planning for new infrastructure, training staff, and navigating regulations. There are also marketing and recruitment considerations specific to this technology.
External forces vary by country: Regulations, consumer acceptance, and infrastructure all differ between countries.
Demographics matter: Younger generations might be more receptive to drone delivery, while older populations might have concerns.
Stakeholders for Amazon: Customers, regulators, aviation authorities, and competitors are all stakeholders. Regulators likely hold the greatest influence as they determine the feasibility of drone delivery.

14. 1. Is Women’s Health Research Studying the Most
Appropriate and Relevant Determinants of Health?
Progress has been made in identifying
behavioral determinants of women’s health,
such as smoking, diet, and physical activity.
Inadequate attention paid to social and
environmental factors; few studies have tested
ways to modify these determinants in women
or examined the effects of social and
community factors in specific groups of women.

15. 2. Is Women’s Health Research Focused on the Most
Appropriate and Relevant Conditions and Endpoints?
• Limited advances in depression, HIV/AIDS, and
osteoporosis
• Few advances made in reducing unintended
pregnancy, autoimmune diseases, maternal
morbidity and mortality, alcohol and drug
addiction, lung cancer, gynecological cancers

2. Is Women’s Health Research Focused on the Most
Appropriate and Relevant Conditions and Endpoints?
Major progress in reducing mortality for women
from breast cancer, cardiovascular disease, and
cervical cancer.
Fewer advances in research investigating non-
fatal diseases that result in major morbidity for
women, despite the high value women place on
quality of life as well as longevity.
The committee recommends that research include
greater attention to assessing quality of life—
for example, functional status or functionality,
mobility, or pain—and promoting wellness.

Women’s Health Amendment
Requires that all private health plans cover –
with no cost sharing requirements for patients –
a newly identified set of women’s preventive
services
evidence-informed preventive care and
screenings not otherwise addressed by
current recommendations.
Women have longer life expectancies,
a greater burden of chronic diseases and
disability, reproductive and gender specific
conditions …and women often have
different treatment responses than men.

20. Recommendation 8
At least one well-woman preventive
care visit annually for adult women to obtain the
recommended preventive services, including
preconception and prenatal care. The committee also
recognizes that several visits may be needed to obtain
all necessary recommended preventive services,
depending on a woman’s health status, health needs,
and other risk factors.
Supporting Evidence
Based on federal and state policies (such as included in Medicaid
and Medicare and the State of Massachusetts), clinical
professional guidelines (such as those from the AMA and AAFP,
and private health plan policies (such as Kaiser Permanente).
USPSTF Grade – Not Addressed
Note: well-child visits include adolescent girls under Bright Futures
21. …The inclusion of evidence-based
screenings, counseling and
procedures that address women’s
greater need for services over the
course of a women’s lifetime may
have a profound impact
for individuals
and the nation as a whole.”
THE BOTTOM LINE
(IOM report brief July 2011)
22. ACA POLICY RELATED TO WOMEN
Insurers can no longer charge
women more just because
they’re women.
AND
All plans in the new marketplaces
must cover essential women’s
health care like maternity care.
