“…Cluster 5 and Cluster 7, with the tags "epidemiology" and "psychological" encompass 13 members and eight members, respectively. Cluster 5 focuses on infectious diseases such as H1N1 [59], biological-exposure [60], Ebola [61], TB [62], HIV [63]. Among all the health issues, mental health deserves particular attention, since people would not pay too much attention to it.…”

In the last few years, the occupational health (OH) of healthcare workers (HCWs) has been shown increasing concern by both health departments and researchers. This study aims to provide academics with quantitative and qualitative analysis of healthcare workers’ occupational health (HCWs+OH) field in a joint way. Based on 402 papers published from 1992 to 2019, we adopted the approaches of bibliometric and social network analysis (SNA) to map and quantify publication years, research area distribution, international collaboration, keyword co-occurrence frequency, hierarchical clustering, highly cited articles and cluster timeline visualization. In view of the results, several hotspot clusters were identified, namely: physical injuries, workplace, mental health; occupational hazards and diseases, infectious factors; community health workers and occupational exposure. As for citations, we employed document co-citation analysis to detect trends and identify seven clusters, namely tuberculosis (TB), strength training, influenza, healthcare worker (HCW), occupational exposure, epidemiology and psychological. With the visualization of cluster timeline, we detected that the earliest research cluster was occupational exposure, then followed by epidemiology and psychological; however, TB, strength training and influenza appeared to gain more attention in recent years. These findings are presumed to offer researchers, public health practitioners a comprehensive understanding of HCWs+OH research.

“…Latin America is endemic for many febrile infectious diseases conditions; then, signs and symptoms of EVD may overlap with other acute viral hemorrhagic fevers like dengue, chikungunya, and now Zika posing a challenge at the time of diagnosis [9]. Despite the lowrisk for a local outbreak in LAC, the possibility of an imported case always remains latent [6,8].…”

“…Since then, at least 25 subsequent outbreaks, including the ongoing outbreak in West Africa, have occurred and various EBOV species have been identified with genetic and virulence variability and still unknown pathogenesis. Before 2014, none of those epidemics implied imported cases outside Africa, with its multiple implications [1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9].…”

“…Likewise, there were a total of seven cases reported outside of African continent with one death at USA [10]. Countries involving imported cases outside Africa have been Italy, Spain, United Kingdom, and USA (each one with one case, except USA with four cases) [11] (Figure 1), without truly suspected cases in Latin America and the Caribbean (LAC) [6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13].…”

Until today, February 22, 2016, no confirmed Ebola cases have been diagnosed in Americas (except USA, four cases with one death). Confusion, lack of knowledge, and fear have led to quickly misclassify cases as suspected, when in fact most of them are false alarms. Nevertheless, European governments summoned to mobilize resources to attend the Ebola outbreak in West Africa. And also Latin American governments should contribute to halt this humanitarian crisis and to be prepared for the potential arrival of this deadly virus in the Caribbean, Central, and South American mainland. In this chapter, we described the experience of preparedness as well as risk assessment done in Latin America regarding the threat of Ebola for the region.

“…Nevertheless, previous studies on the Ebola virus primarily have evaluated the spread of the disease, the development of preventive measures (Lewnard et al , ; WHO Ebola Response Team, ), and the preparedness of medical institutions (de Jong et al , ). There is a limited number of studies (Fazekas, Fazekas, Moledinac, Fazekasd, & Karolyhazye, ; Patiño‐Barbosaa et al , ; Speroni, Seibert, & Mallinson, ) that have specifically addressed the level of knowledge about, and awareness of, EVD infection control among medical professionals, including HCWs and ICNs. Therefore, this study aimed to assess Korean ICNs’ level of knowledge and awareness of EVD infection control and to identify a correlation between these factors.…”
