“…This difference is due to the limitations of information and experience. The same is said in the study by Sanders et al (2021) there was no significant change in health literacy in either educator. One of the reasons that peer educator are not effective in improving health literacy is the selection of peer educator educators who are not suitable, namely peer educator educators who have a lack of ability and experience (Dehghani, 2021) Improving adolescent reproductive health literacy requires appropriate methods in accordance with the stage of development.…”

“…Peer educator methods have proven to be highly effective at improving critical thinking skills. In addition, peer educator can affect changes in the health behaviour of HIV-AIDS patients and other chronic diseases such as cancer and diabetes (Hu et al, 2019;Krishnaratne et al, 2016;Sanders et al, 2021). According to data from the Statistics Center of East Nusa Tenggara Province, the Sikka regency is one of the districts with marriage rates of teenagers aged less than 17 years that continue to increase.…”

Many reproductive health problems in adolescents such as unwanted pregnancy, abortion, sexually transmitted diseases, drug abuse, and HIV-AIDS are caused by poor reproductive health literacy. Improving reproductive health literacy can be done with peer group methods, this is because peer groups not only provide information and experiences but also become real examples in groups. The purpose of the study was to explain the influence of peer groups on adolescent reproductive health literacy. The research method uses pre-experiments with the one-group pretest-posttest design. The population in the study was 45 adolescent girls at the Thomas Morus girls' dormitory. Sampling is used purposive sampling. Based on the inclusion criteria, a sample size of 40 people. The study was conducted in September 2021 at the Thomas Morus girls' dormitory, Sikka Regency, East Nusa Tenggara Province. The data was collected using the HLS-EU-47Q questionnaire and analysed with the paired t-test. The results showed there was a peer group influence on adolescent reproductive health literacy (p <0,000). Peer groups are shown to improve adolescent reproductive health literacy, therefore, nurses and other health care providers must provide comprehensive and holistic reproductive health promotion that focuses on adolescent abilities through peer groups, so that adolescents have good reproductive health literacy and do not perform risky sexual behaviours.

“…Similarly, previous research from our group has demonstrated that the level of health literacy and awareness that women have about a certain issue can have an impact on their engagement in behaviour change (Escañuela Sánchez et al, 2022 ). Previous studies have demonstrated that peer‐led interactive interventions are more effective than lecture‐style information provision in terms of increasing health literacy (Dehghani, 2021 ; Sanders et al, 2021 ). These elements should be considered when designing interventions targeting all women in a community.…”

Inadequate attendance to antenatal care has been associated with negative maternal and fetal outcomes, including stillbirth. This study aimed to identify facilitators and barriers to antenatal care attendance. A systematic search was conducted in March 2019 and updated in January 2021. Qualitative studies involving pregnant or post‐partum women up to 12 months from high‐income countries that provided data about facilitators and barriers to antenatal care attendance were sought. Meta‐ethnography was used to inform this meta‐synthesis. Fifteen studies were included in the analysis. Findings indicate that inadequate antenatal care attendance is influenced at different levels. Aspects like sociodemographic factors, difficulties navigating the health system, administrative delays, lack of flexibility and tailored care, constant change of carer and communication issues also act as barriers. These issues affect women's access to knowledge and the formation of women's beliefs and feelings towards seeking care. On the contrary, having a positive attitude towards the pregnancy, encountering empathetic healthcare professionals and availing of social support acted as facilitators. The reasons why women seek or delay attending antenatal care are multifactorial and can be explained using the Social Determinants of Health Framework. Any response needs to be taken across all levels of influence and not just focused on the individual. A better understanding of the barriers and facilitators to antenatal care might contribute to informing intervention or policy development addressing this issue.

“…DH platforms are increasingly popular among individuals with cancer as they often contain large repositories of content, information exchange channels, and support for patients’ (changing) cancer-related needs [ 8 , 9 , 10 , 11 , 12 ] The National Cancer Institute’s Health Information National Trends Survey (HINTS) has documented the popularity of individuals with cancer using the internet to access cancer-related information increasing from 49.5% in 2003 to 76.9% in 2017 [ 13 ]. DH can enhance care that is person-centred from diagnosis to treatment through survivorship or palliative care and caregiver bereavement, empowering and supporting through the promotion of health literacy, shared decision-making, and illness self-management [ 4 , 14 , 15 ].…”

Lessons Learned from the Implementation of a Person-Centred Digital Health Platform in Cancer Care

et al. 2022

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

The SARS-CoV-2 (COVID-19) pandemic has accelerated the development and use of digital health platforms to support individuals with health-related challenges. This is even more frequent in the field of cancer care as the global burden of the disease continues to increase every year. However, optimal implementation of these platforms into the clinical setting requires careful planning and collaboration. An implementation project was launched between the Centre intégré universitaire de santé et de services sociaux (CIUSSS) du Centre-Ouest-de-I’Île-de-Montreal and BELONG—Beating Cancer Together—a person-centred cancer navigation and support digital health platform. The goal of the project was to implement content and features specific to the CIUSSS, to be made available exclusively for individuals with cancer (and their caregivers) treated at the institution. Guided by Structural Model of Interprofessional Collaboration, we report on implementation processes involving diverse stakeholders including clinicians, hospital administrators, researchers and local community/patient representatives. Lessons learned include earlier identification of shared goals and clear expectations, more consistent reliance on virtual means to communicate among all involved, and patient/caregiver involvement in each step to ensure informed and shared decision making.
