Abstract:
The Nyakaza-Move-for-Health intervention program was developed in response to the alarming rise in non-communicable diseases (NCDs) globally, in sub-Saharan Africa and South Africa. The rise in NCDs is attributed to the low levels of participation in physical activity (PA) among adolescents. Therefore, this study aimed to design a culturally tailored PA intervention for adolescents, guided by the Intervention Mapping (IM) protocol. The intervention program aims to address the multifaceted determinants of physical activity behavior, promote healthy lifestyles and improve adolescent fitness levels.Keywords:

This paper describes the first phase of the development of a Protocol based Decision Support System (PDSS) that will be linked to an Electronic Patient Record system (EPR system). The protocol system will be pro-active: the physician will be automatically prompted from the EPR of a particular patient if the protocol that applies for that patient defines it necessary. The PropeR project studies the impact of a PDSS that is linked to an EPR on daily care processes. There are two areas of research: hospital and home care. This paper describes the application in the hospital. The protocol that is being computerized is a treatment protocol for Acute Myelogenous Leukaemia (AML) that also studies treatment alternatives (conventional versus experimental treatment). This paper based AML protocol has been translated into a formal representation. The KA-tool Gaston is used to make this representation. Twenty-eight subprotocols have been organized in a hierarchical structure with three levels. One of the aims of the project is to make a representation of the AML protocol that can be used in other organizations as well. The main problem we encountered is that the representation not only contains the content of the protocol, but also aspects of application of that protocol in daily care of the hospital and aspects of support. The solution to this problem is the creation of two layers of representation: the first layer is an exact copy of the protocol and thus sharable and the second layer focuses on the support of the protocol in the daily working processes and is mainly domain specific: for the University Hospital Maastricht. At the moment, this division into two layers is being discussed

Introduction: In promoting positive behavior changes in adolescents, behavior change intervention is a crucial factor that requires attention. The aim is to develop an evidence-based social cognitive theory intervention. This paper details the intervention development, which is part of the broader NCD prevention program, targeting adolescents and motivating them to adopt healthy lifestyles. Methods: Intervention mapping is a systematic approach to developing health promotion programs and has six steps. (1) To assess the need, (2) to specify objectives and outcomes, (3) to design programs, (4) to develop intervention, (5) to plan an intervention implementation, and (6) to evaluate. Stakeholders were engaged actively to improve program feasibility. The needs assessment identified barriers to healthy lifestyle practices among adolescents. Results: Identified barriers among school management and teachers were lack of awareness, noncompliance to regular dietary practices and physical activities, time constraints, lack of motivation, space for physical activities, and guidance for healthy food choices. Interventions components were designed based on the social cognitive theory to address these barriers, involving role models and peer leaders, and providing tailored health information and activities. Conclusion: The intervention aims to motivate adolescents to adopt healthy lifestyles and promote peer support.

Non communicable disease (NCD) has recently emerged as a major public-health concern, with prevalence rising over the world. As a submerged portion of the iceberg, the hidden burden of NCD is escalating and devouring the world. NCD affects HCW in the same way it affects other types of workers. Healthcare worker (HCW) should serve as role models in the community, raising NCD prevention knowledge and encouraging patients to adopt a healthier lifestyle. The Objective to the study to access the prevalence of non-communicable disease among healthcare workers. A cross sectional study was conducted in Johor state public health division with secondary data source from health screening of HCW from 2021. A total of 123 subjects participated in the study. Based on BMI calculation 26% were categorized normal, 42% were overweight and 30% were obese. Correlation and univariate analysis were conducted on BMI and blood screening. The results show a significant relationship between BMI towards Total Cholesterol and Fasting blood sugar level among HCW (P value <0.01). The high prevalence of NCD risk factors and their significant association necessitate an appropriate risk-reduction strategy to reduce the possibility of chronic illness among them.

A review of literature suggests that individual, social, and organizational factors are important to consider in the development of worksite health promotion programs. This article describes a conceptual framework that integrates these factors. The implications of this framework for the development, implementation, and evaluation of worksite health promotion programs and the results of an intervention based on this approach are presented. The results from this study highlight the importance of active employee involvement in all stages of worksite health promotion programs. The findings also indicate that programs need to address the causes, not just the symptoms, of stressful working conditions.

Developing countries like India grapple with significant challenges due to the double burden of communicable and non-communicable disease in older adults. Examining the distribution of the burden of different communicable and non-communicable diseases among older adults can present proper evidence to policymakers to deal with health inequality. The present study aimed to determine socioeconomic inequality in the burden of communicable and noncommunicable diseases among older adults in India. This study used Longitudinal Ageing study in India (LASI), Wave 1, conducted during 2017-2018. Descriptive statistics along with bivariate analysis was used in the present study to reveal the initial results. Binary logistic regression analysis was used to estimate the association between the outcome variables (communicable and non-communicable disease) and the chosen set of separate explanatory variables. For measurement of socioeconomic inequality, concentration curve and concentration index along with state wise poor-rich ratio was calculated. Additionally, Wagstaff's decomposition of the concentration index approach was used to reveal the contribution of each explanatory variable to the measured health inequality (Communicable and non- communicable disease). The study finds the prevalence of communicable and non-communicable disease among older adults were 24.9% and 45.5% respectively. The prevalence of communicable disease was concentrated among the poor whereas the prevalence of NCDs was concentrated among the rich older adults, but the degree of inequality is greater in case of NCD. The CI for NCD is 0.094 whereas the CI for communicable disease is -0.043. Economic status, rural residence are common factors contributing inequality in both diseases; whereas BMI and living environment (house type, drinking water source and toilet facilities) have unique contribution in explaining inequality in NCD and communicable diseases respectively. This study significantly contributes in identifying the dichotomous concentration of disease prevalence and contributing socio- economic factors in the inequalities.

This paper reviews the past of community-based health promotion program through public health center to suggest the direction of future. The Minister of Health and Welfare has implemented health promotion demonstration programs at 18 public health centers in September 1998. Health promotion programs were spread nationwide in 2005. Now, 251 public health centers have performed health promotion programs. Health promotion includes both actions towards changing determinants, within the more immediate control of individuals, including individual health behavior, and those factors largely outside the control of individuals, including social, economic and environmental conditions. Direction of health promotion programs in public health is divided into two categories: creating environment for healthy lifestyle and health promotion services. The result of this paper will be able to act as a guide for future operation plan in health center.
