“…The participants' functioning assessment was measured using a modified version of a generic assessment instrument for health and disability developed as part of a WHO Disability Assessment Schedule (WHODAS) [18].

Background Vietnam is experiencing an unprecedented demographic transition. Its proportion of elderly people is growing rapidly. Objective This study explored the health status and health-related quality of life (HRQoL) of rural elderly Vietnamese and assessed their needs for healthcare services. Design This study used a survey with stratified proportion sampling and quota assignment. In 2016, data was collected from 713 people in the rural Quoc-Oai district of Hanoi aged 60 or older. Results The mean age of the respondents was 70.9. Both self-rated health status and functional status decreased with age. Women reported more functional limitations than men. Musculoskeletal disorders were the most frequently reported chronic diseases, followed by hypertension, gastrointestinal diseases, and cardiovascular diseases. Age, self-rated health status, BMIs, and the number of noncommunicable diseases (NCDs) were found to be significant determinants of HRQoL, after controlling for socioeconomic effects. More than half the respondents requested more healthcare information, particularly on disease management. Conclusions Vietnam's healthcare system is being challenged to make health services easily accessible and meet the growing needs for chronic illness management, risk reduction, promoting healthy lifestyles, and improving the aging population's quality of life.

IntroductionThe COVID-19 pandemic was a catalyst to many learning opportunities within clinical practice in the UK. Attempts were made to reduce footfall within all institutions and within the study unit; this led to alterations in fracture clinic provision. An alternative method was developed whereby most of the initial contacts were in person and much of the follow-up was done remotely. The aim of this study was to evaluate patient satisfaction and views on this alteration in service. MethodsThe first 299 patients who had fracture clinic appointments delivered by telephone consultation at this institution during the pandemic in early 2020 were retrospectively identified and sent a postal survey. Satisfaction levels were assessed through a degree of agreement with statements (nine items), yes/no answers (four questions), and space for comments. ResultsOne hundred and thirty-one survey responses were included (44% response rate). The majority of patients (82%) were satisfied overall with the care they received. Although 78% of patients stated that they preferred a telephone consultation to attend a face-to-face hospital appointment during the pandemic, only 22% stated they would have preferred this in normal (pre-COVID-19) times. Interestingly 62% of patients stated they would be happy for further fracture clinic appointments to be carried out in the same way. DiscussionMost of the remote consultations were in follow-up rather than new patients. Patients were adaptable to this alternative method of care delivery. There could be a role for its integration into the options for fracture clinic delivery in the future.

“…CFA is a statistical procedure for multi-variation which is used to check that how better the variables are measured according to the understanding of the researcher regarding the nature of those particular constructs. In short, the main objective of CFA is to test that either the data fits into the hypothetical model of measurement or not (Preedy & Watson, 2009). While conducting CFA, the items whose values are ≥ 0.7 are taken under notice for data collection items.…”

This study examines the impact of Autocratic leadership on Disruptive Political Behavior with the moderating effect of Abusive Supervisory Behavior and the mediating effect of Employee Perception of Job Insecurity. It examines the employee perception of job insecurity while working in an autocratic culture and the political strategies which an employee chooses to cope up with such insecurities. The data was collected through a structured questionnaire from a sample of 248 employees which include middle-level managers, front-line managers, and their employees. Pearson correlation test was used to establish the relationship between variables. Findings reveal the existence of a significant positive relationship between the variables. Result also prove that there is a significant positive moderation of abusive supervisory behavior between the relationship of autocratic leadership and employee perception of job insecurity, and shows partial significance with mediating effect of employee perception of job insecurity with the relation of autocratic leadership and disruptive political behavior. The study concludes with a discussion and future directions.
