Abstract:
Perceptions of long term impact and change following a midwife led biomass smoke education program for mothers in rural Uganda: a qualitative study
Introduction: Women and children in Uganda and other lowand middle-income countries are exposed to disproportionately high levels of household air pollution from biomass smoke generated by smoke-producing cookstoves, especially in rural areas. This population is therefore particularly vulnerable to the negative health effects caused by household air pollution, including negative pregnancy outcomes and other health issues throughout life. The Midwife Project, a collaboration between research and health teams in the UK and Uganda, began in 2016 to implement an education program on lung health for mothers in Uganda, to reduce the health risks to women and children. Education materials were produced to guide midwives in the delivery of health messages across four rural health centres, and mixed-methods results of knowledge questionnaires and interviews demonstrated knowledge acquisition, acceptability and feasibility. This qualitative follow-up study aimed to improve understanding of the longer term impact of this education program from the perspective of midwives, village health team members and mothers, in consideration of rolling the program out more widely in rural Uganda. Methods: Purposive sampling was carried out to recruit consenting antenatal or postnatal women, midwives and village health team members who had been involved in an education session. Individual interviews were conducted with 12 mothers and four village health team members, and four focus groups were conducted with 10 midwives in total. Interviews and focus groups were conducted across all four health centres by two researchers and six translators as appropriate depending on language spoken (English or Lusoga). These were semistructured and directed by topic guides. Reflective and observational notes were also made. A thematic analysis was carried out by two researchers, along with production of a narrative for each mother, to enrich understanding of each individual story. Results: Midwives and village health teams had continued with the program well past the project end date and all mothers expressed making, or intending to make, changes, suggesting long-term feasibility and acceptability. Main themes generated were ability to change and changes made, ability to change dictated by money, importance of practical education, perceived health improvements, and passing on knowledge. Additional findings were that some education topics seemed to be overlooked, and there was a lack of clarity about the village health team role for the purposes of this program. Some mothers had been motivated to overcome financial barriers, for example by reconstructing cooking areas cheaply themselves. However, information given in the program about building advice and potential financial gains was inconsistent. Conclusion: Recommendations for future biomass smoke education should include explicit building advice, emphasis on financial gains, encouragement to share the knowledge acquired and clarification of the village health team role. These program changes will improve focus and relevancy, optimise impact and, with behaviour change and implementation strategy in mind, could be used for widespread rollout in rural Uganda. Future research should include quantitative data collection to objectively examine surprising perceived health benefits, including reduction in malaria and burns, and further qualitative work on why some education content appears neglected.

Abstract:
A scoping review comparing two common surgical approaches to the hip for hemiarthroplasty.
BACKGROUND: Hemiarthroplasty for hip fracture is a common surgical procedure. A number of distinct approaches are used to access the hip joint. The most commonly used are the direct lateral approach (DLA), and the posterior approach (PA). Internationally there is little consensus on which of these approaches to use. Current guidance is based on a limited selection of evidence and choice of approach is frequently based on surgeon preference. Historically, recommendations have been made based on dislocation rates. In light of technical advancements and greater recognition of patient priorities, outcomes such as post-operative function and pain may be considered more important in the modern context. The aim of this scoping review was to summarise the literature pertaining to the comparison of common surgical approaches to the hip for hemiarthroplasty. METHODS: a scoping review methodology was used to examine the range and nature of primary research. Using systematic methods we searched for studies that directly compared the DLA and PA. Studies reporting the following outcomes were considered; dislocation, mortality, pain, activities of daily living, functionality, health-related quality of life, length of stay, surgeon assessment of difficulty, and adverse events. MEDLINE, EMBASE and the Cochrane Library were searched. Relevant information was extracted and synthesis of the retrieved data followed a basic content analytical approach. RESULTS: a total of 13 studies were retrieved: 12 observational studies and 1 randomised trial. The majority of studies were based at single sites. Larger observational studies using multi-site and national registry data have emerged in recent years. Reporting of technique and outcomes is inconsistent. A trend for higher rates of dislocation using the PA was observed and eight studies recommended the use of the DLA over the PA. CONCLUSIONS: This scoping review demonstrates that the existing evidence is highly heterogeneous in nature and not of a sufficient quality to inform practice recommendations. This issue would be best addressed by additional RCTs, and high quality national-level observational data. Standardisation of the recording of patient risk factors, surgical and post-operative intervention protocols, and outcomes in all study designs would strengthen the potential for valid comparison of future findings.

Abstract:
Research excellence across clinical healthcare: a novel research capacity building programme for nurses and midwives in a large Irish region
Background: a lack of support and research skills development has contributed to low research output by clinically based nurses and midwives in Ireland, including those in specialised and advanced roles. A novel research capacity building (RCB) programme was developed to address existing barriers. The programme was developed and implemented using Cooke’s principles of RCB. Nurses and midwives participated from acute hospital, community, public health, mental health, older adult, intellectual disability, addiction and palliative care settings. Aims: This paper provides an evaluation of the Research Excellence Across Clinical Healthcare (REACH) programme from 2013–2016. Methods: Document analysis was used to evaluate RCB activities and outputs. Data were extracted from programme reports, conference proceedings, paper references, and workshop and conference sign-in/evaluation forms. Results: Individuals (n = 17) and small research groups (n = 4) were supported. Increased research capacity was demonstrated through dissemination of research in peer-reviewed journals, posters and oral presentations at national and international conferences. Sustainability was demonstrated by progression of participants to PhD (n = 3) and research projects that remain ongoing (n = 5). Skills development was facilitated by the organisation of workshops and conferences. Conclusions: a programme that provides academic support and mentorship in the clinical environment along with skills development can build research capacity. Future research should involve follow-up to determine any long-term effects.

Abstract:
Health literacy in Europe: comparative results of the European health literacy survey (HLS-EU).
BACKGROUND: Health literacy concerns the capacities of people to meet the complex demands of health in modern society. In spite of the growing attention for the concept among European health policymakers, researchers and practitioners, information about the status of health literacy in Europe remains scarce. This article presents selected findings from the first European comparative survey on health literacy in populations. M ETHODS: the European health literacy survey (HLS-EU) was conducted in eight countries: Austria, Bulgaria, Germany, Greece, Ireland, the Netherlands, Poland and Spain (n = 1000 per country, n = 8000 total sample). Data collection was based on Eurobarometer standards and the implementation of the HLS-EU-Q (questionnaire) in computer-assisted or paper-assisted personal interviews. R ESULTS: the HLS-EU-Q constructed four levels of health literacy: insufficient, problematic, sufficient and excellent. At least 1 in 10 (12%) respondents showed insufficient health literacy and almost 1 in 2 (47%) had limited (insufficient or problematic) health literacy. However, the distribution of levels differed substantially across countries (29-62%). Subgroups within the population, defined by financial deprivation, low social status, low education or old age, had higher proportions of people with limited health literacy, suggesting the presence of a social gradient which was also confirmed by raw bivariate correlations and a multivariate linear regression model. DISCUSSION: Limited health literacy represents an important challenge for health policies and practices across Europe, but to a different degree for different countries. The social gradient in health literacy must be taken into account when developing public health strategies to improve health equity in Europe.

Measuring health literacy in populations: illuminating the design and development process of the European Health Literacy Survey Questionnaire (HLS-EU-Q).
BACKGROUND: Several measurement tools have been developed to measure health literacy. The tools vary in their approach and design, but few have focused on comprehensive health literacy in populations. This paper describes the design and development of the European Health Literacy Survey Questionnaire (HLS-EU-Q), an innovative, comprehensive tool to measure health literacy in populations. METHODS: Based on a conceptual model and definition, the process involved item development, pre-testing, field-testing, external consultation, plain language check, and translation from English to Bulgarian, Dutch, German, Greek, Polish, and Spanish. RESULTS: the development process resulted in the HLS-EU-Q, which entailed two sections, a core health literacy section and a section on determinants and outcomes associated to health literacy. The health literacy section included 47 items addressing self-reported difficulties in accessing, understanding, appraising and applying information in tasks concerning decisions making in healthcare, disease prevention, and health promotion. The second section included items related to, health behaviour, health status, health service use, community participation, socio-demographic and socio-economic factors. CONCLUSIONS: By illuminating the detailed steps in the design and development process of the HLS-EU-Q, it is the aim to provide a deeper understanding of its purpose, its capability and its limitations for others using the tool. By stimulating a wide application it is the vision that HLS-EU-Q will be validated in more countries to enhance the understanding of health literacy in different populations.

12Abstract:
Health literacy and public health: a systematic review and integration of definitions and models.
BACKGROUND: Health literacy concerns the knowledge and competences of persons to meet the complex demands of health in modern society. Although its importance is increasingly recognised, there is no consensus about the definition of health literacy or about its conceptual dimensions, which limits the possibilities for measurement and comparison. The aim of the study is to review definitions and models on health literacy to develop an integrated definition and conceptual model capturing the most comprehensive evidence-based dimensions of health literacy. METHODS: a systematic literature review was performed to identify definitions and conceptual frameworks of health literacy. A content analysis of the definitions and conceptual frameworks was carried out to identify the central dimensions of health literacy and develop an integrated model. RESULTS: the review resulted in 17 definitions of health literacy and 12 conceptual models. Based on the content analysis, an integrative conceptual model was developed containing 12 dimensions referring to the knowledge, motivation and competencies of accessing, understanding, appraising and applying health-related information within the healthcare, disease prevention and health promotion setting, respectively. CONCLUSIONS: Based upon this review, a model is proposed integrating medical and public health views of health literacy. The model can serve as a basis for developing health literacy enhancing interventions and provide a conceptual basis for the development and validation of measurement tools, capturing the different dimensions of health literacy within the healthcare, disease prevention and health promotion settings.
