“…Understanding and recognizing these barriers may be also helpful in HLI prevention programs. 20 In this regard one of the factors that may affect the control of HLI is reported to be the perception of family members about pediculosis and its preventative behaviors. 21 Additionally, unfavorable socioeconomic status, population congestion, lower living standards, poverty status, poor health, and gender are reported as contributing factors.…”

Background: Despite the improvement of living standards and public health as well as conducting the specific programs based on pediculosis control guidelines, Head Lice Infestation (HLI) is still a worldwide health concern. The purpose of this study was to investigate the cognitive factors associated to school-age children's HLI among mothers in an urban community. Subjects and Methods: In this cross-sectional study, a multi-stage cluster random sample of 619 mothers of students in elementary schools of Chaldoran County, located in NorthWest of Iran, was recruited to participate in the study. Data were collected applying a set of questionnaires including socio-demographic and cognitive-behavioral factors, including Pediculosis Preventive Behaviors (PPBs), HLI knowledge, threat appraisal, as well as HLI prevention perceived selfefficacy, response efficacy, and perceived collective family efficacy. Results: Statistically significant differences were found in the children's HLI by their mother's age and performance in PPBs (p-value=0.001). Hierarchical multiple linear regressions were performed with PPBs as outcome variable. According to their natures, the predictors for this outcome variable were classified in two different blocks. Demographic characteristics (p > 0.05), and cognitive constructs (p< 0.001) explained 9% and 21.1% of the observed variance in PPBs, respectively. Pediculosis was found as an epidemic among the students, particularly female students, of Chaldoran County, which call for action by health stakeholders and policymakers. Conclusion: The healthcare providers are recommended to develop HLI prevention programs, within which the mothers and their school-age children as well as school mangers and public places' employers are considered as the core target groups for interventions. Besides PPBs, response efficacy and perceived collective family efficacy to perform the behaviors should be considered as the core categories while designing such prevention programs.

“…The evidence shows that students in clinical learning environments are often unable to match the theoretical content learned in the classroom with what they are actually doing in practice and consequently, they cannot provide the care competently for patients [7,8]. There are numerous obstacles and pitfalls in clinical setting and health care centers for the delivery of effective health care services [9,10].…”

ObjectivesAlthough effective performance in clinical settings requires the integration between theory and practice, there is a gap between theoretical knowledge as taught in the classroom and what the students experience in clinical settings. This study aimed to elicit and explore the barriers of utilizing theoretical knowledge in clinical settings.MethodsA qualitative study was adopted with a conventional content analysis approach. Fifteen nursing and paramedic's students, faculty members and experienced nursing staff participated in the study. Data were collected by semi-structured individual interviews until data saturation and concurrently analyzed via MAXQDA 10.ResultsFive main categories emerged as barriers of utilizing theoretical knowledge in the clinical settings i.e. non-standard practices in clinical settings; lack of trust in clinical competence; lack of perceived professional support; insufficiencies in teaching and learning process; and differences between doing things in simulated and real clinical situations.ConclusionTransferring theory into practice in a structured manner requires professional support in the workplace, trust and the opportunity for direct experience, using valid and up-to-date knowledge by clinical staff and bridging the simulated situations with real life scenarios.

“…For instance, the distrust to the health care providers' competencies made the healthcare recipients unwilling to participate in the FPP. In agreement with this nding, Hamidzadeh et al reported the lack of trust in health educators' competencies as one of the barriers revealed for implementing health education programs in rural settings 21 . Lack of proper communication between health care providers and clients was another di culty that may hinder their participation in the FFP.…”

This study aimed to explore the challenges and obstacles of implementing family physician program in an Iranian urban community context.Methods A qualitative study with conventional content analysis approach was conducted. Data were collected through semi-structured individual interviews until data saturation, and were concurrently analyzed. MAXQDA 10 was used to manage the data. The study was conducted between February and July 2019 in urban health centers of Bonab, Iran. Participants were nineteen healthcare recipients and healthcare providers from urban health centers in Bonab, Iran.Results Three main categories including ‘socio-cultural and economic challenges’, ‘interpersonal communication difficulties’ and ‘inefficient management’ emerged as the challenges of implementing urban family physician program in the community.Conclusions The implementation of family physician program is a long process that is influenced by various factors and elimination of barriers requires developing infrastructures and culture growth and improving the professional settings and interpersonal relationship.
