“…An interactive animation program for improving the knowledge of students studying liver fluke showed that the students achieved a significantly improved perception. The use of the animated program facilitated education about liver fluke and was good supplementary learning material for the students, particularly when they were learning about serious concepts (Bukkhunthod et al, 2020). The success of our web application is similar to that of Wang et al, (2015), who successfully designed a recommendationbased mobile web application to assist patients in efficiently seeking online health information at any time, anywhere and via any devices using a collaborative filtering approach to recommend health information.…”

Background: Liver fluke, Opisthorchis viverrini, is associated to cholangiocarcinoma which is found frequently in some areas of Southeast Asian countries particularly in Thailand, Lao People Republic Democratic, Cambodia. This study sought to investigate the effects of an O. viverrini and cholangiocarcinoma (OVCCA) web application to facilitate health literacy regarding O. viverrini in Northeast Thailand. Methods: A randomized controlled trial study was performed among an intervention group (n=63) and a control group (n=63) during a one-year period from July 2019 to May 2020. The intervention group received the health literacy promotion program of O. viverrini information through the OVCCA web application for 6 weeks. The control group received an activity package from the public health department. The success of the program was evaluated at week 24 after the groups finished the last activity. ANCOVA, t-test and multiple logistic regression were used for data analysis for both groups. Results: The scores for knowledge; ability to access, understand, appraise, and apply information; motivation for protection; and practice of O. viverrini prevention were significantly higher for the intervention group than for the control group. The results indicated that a health literacy promotion program through an OVCCA web application could be advantageous for preventing and controlling O. viverrini infection. Conclusion: This intervention may be used as a potential strategy and guideline for self-care and health promotion in other endemic areas.

Background and objectivesVideo animations are used increasingly as patient information tools; however, we do not know their value compared to other formats of delivery, such as printed materials, verbal consultations or static images.MethodsThis review compares the effectiveness of video animations as information tools vs. other formats of delivery on patient knowledge, attitudes and cognitions, and behaviours. Included studies had the following features: controlled design with random or quasi-random allocation; patients being informed about any health condition or members of the public being informed about a public health topic; comparing video animation with another delivery format. Multiple digital databases were searched from 1996-June 2021. We also undertook citation searching. We used dual, independent decision-making for inclusion assessment, data extraction and quality appraisal. Included studies were appraised using the Cochrane ROB2 tool. Findings were reported using narrative synthesis.ResultsWe included 38 trials, focussed on: explaining medical or surgical procedures (n = 17); management of long-term conditions (n = 11); public health, health-promotion or illness-prevention (n = 10). Studies evaluated cartoon animations (n = 29), 3D animations (n = 6), or 2D animations, “white-board” animations or avatars (n = 1 each). Knowledge was assessed in 30 studies, showing greater knowledge from animations in 19 studies, compared to a range of comparators. Attitudes and cognitions were assessed in 21 studies, and animations resulted in positive outcomes in six studies, null effects in 14 studies, and less positive outcomes than standard care in one study. Patient behaviours were assessed in nine studies, with animations resulting in positive outcomes in four and null effects in the remainder. Overall risk of bias was “high” (n = 18), “some concerns” (n = 16) or “low” (n = 4). Common reasons for increased risk of bias were randomisation processes, small sample size or lack of sample size calculation, missing outcome data, and lack of protocol publication.DiscussionThe overall evidence base is highly variable, with mostly small trials. Video animations show promise as patient information tools, particularly for effects on knowledge, but further evaluation is needed in higher quality studies.Systematic Review Registrationhttps://www.crd.york.ac.uk/prospero/display_record.php?, identifier: CRD42021236296.

“…These results was compared to other study and found that recent infection rate of these study were lower than previous reported among gardeners who were studied in Nakhon Ratchasima province 4 , Khon Kaen 13 , Chachoengsao province 14 . This result indicates that the successful of decreased infection rate is under control and elimination is possible through the prevention and control campaign from Ministry of Public Health in collaborated with network teams in each areas during last 5 years periods [15][16][17] . Our study demonstrated that gender showed a significant association between the prevalence of intestinal helminthes.…”

This study was aimed to determine the intestinal helminthic infections (IHIs) among rural communities of Bua Yai district, Nakhon Ratchasima province, northeastern Thailand. A cross-sectional study was conducted between July 1, 2018 and June 30, 2019 among rural villagers from 22 rural villages of 2 sub-districts. The participants were randomly selected from village enrollment list after proportional allocation of the total sample size. IHIs were prepared by the mini parasep sf faecal concentrator; concentration method, and then were detected using light microscope. Data were analyzed using STATA for windows version 13 and p-value less than 5% was considered as statistically significant. Of the total 454 faecal specimens examined, 6 were positive for at least one intestinal helminthes making the prevalence 1.32%. The most prevalent helminthes were Opisthorchis viverrini (1.26%) and followed by Ascaris lumbricoides (0.39%), Strongyloides stercolaris (0.19%), and Taenia spp. (0.19%), respectively. No significant association was found between IHIs and socio-demographic characteristics (P >0.05). This study reveals that the decreased infection rate is under control and elimination is possible through the prevention and control campaign from Ministry of Public Health in collaborated with network teams in this areas. However, IHIs are found in adults that were particularly apparent regarding the food borne and soil transmitted species of helminthes. A greater focus on intervention is required by improving personal hygiene and sanitation to prevent the spread of IHIs. Using MPFC indicates that concentration method is useful in the rural communities, increasing the yield of parasites with greater processing time and cost.
