“…According to the results of this study, from the perspective of older adults, the responsiveness was average. In line with this finding, some studies conducted in Iran have also shown the average level of hospital responsiveness from patients [35][36][37]. However, it contradicted the findings of a study by Adekanye et al [38] in Nigerian hospitals, which showed a relatively good level of responsiveness.…”

“…The results of some studies indicate different levels of responsiveness and the state of its dimensions. So that in some studies conducted in Iran reported an average level of responsiveness [35][36][37], and a study conducted in Nigeria reported an appropriate level [38] of responsiveness. Also, the status of each dimension of responsiveness in previous studies has been stated differently [39][40][41][42][43][44][45][46][47][48].…”

Background Aging is a sensitive period of life. Attention to the needs of this stage is considered a social necessity. This study is conducted to investigate the responsiveness level and its effect on service quality from the hospitalized older adults’ viewpoints during the COVID-19 pandemic in the south of Iran. Methods It was a cross-sectional descriptive-analytic study that was conducted on 386 old patients. The study instrument was a standard questionnaire that includes three sections of demographic information, World Health Organization Responsiveness, and SERVQUAL. Data were analyzed applying descriptive and inferential statistics the same as Independent T-test, ANOVA, Pearson correlation, and multiple linear regression. Results The mean levels of responsiveness and service quality were 90.72 ± 9.38 (from 160) and 68.01 ± 8.51 (from 110) respectively. This indicates the average level of these variables from the old patients’ viewpoints. There was a significant positive correlation between responsiveness and service quality (r = 0.585). According to the results of multiple linear regression, the dimensions of communication, dignity, prompt attention, primary facilities, social support, information confidentiality, right to choose, and autonomy were identified as the predictors of service quality. Conclusion The average level of responsiveness and service quality perceived from the old patients’ viewpoints during the COVID-19 pandemic can be considered a necessity for supportive planning among the older adults. Meanwhile, according to the impacts of responsiveness on service quality, educational programs are recommended to promote the level of healthcare providers’ responsiveness.

In the face of these public health challenges, it is necessary to strengthen the management of medical resources and build a comprehensive system plan to promote the preparedness of communities and hospitals for diseases, so as to effectively curb the spread of these diseases [8][9][10].…”

Objective To investigate the human papilloma virus (HPV) infection status, main subtypes and age distribution characteristics of women in the Putuo area of Shanghai. Methods A total of 13,936 subjects were enrolled in this study. These subjects were 15–89 years old, with a mean age of 41.68. Real-time fluorescence quantitative polymerase chain reaction technology was used to detect 21 types of HPV. Results A total of 2,500 subjects with HPV infections were detected in 13,936 cervical exfoliated cell specimens (total infection rate 17.9%). There were 15 people aged below 20,486 people aged 21-30,876 people aged 31-40,484 people aged 41–50, 338 people aged 51–60, and 301 people aged > 60. In total, 1,893 (75.7%) subjects had a single type of HPV infection, 424 (16.9%) had a double infection, and 183 had triple or more infections (7.4%). The top 6 subtypes of HPV infection in the Shanghai Putuo District were HPV 52 (3.81%), HPV 58 (2.46%), HPV 16 (2.43%), HPV 53 (2.30%), HPV 81 (1.74%) and HPV 39 (1.5%). The number of high-risk HPV infections was 1,978, and the total infection rate was 14.19%. The number of intermediate-risk HPV infections was 578, and the total infection rate was 4.15%. The number of low-risk HPV infections was 338, and the total infection rate was 2.43%. Conclusion The top 3 populations with HPV infection rates in the Putuo District, Shanghai, were ≤ 20 years old, older than 60, and 21–30 years old. The infection rate of HPV in cervical outpatient clinics was significantly higher than that of other departments. The 9-valent vaccine is recommended for HPV vaccination in this area.

“…Healthcare has historically been viewed as a fundamental human need [1][2][3][4][5][6] especially in accident such as an earthquake, disease or a plane crash. [7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15] It is, however, influenced in some way by external factors such as a society's political situation, economic development, and demographic characteristics. 16 Nowadays, governments worldwide, including Iran, are focussed on organising, providing, and financing suitable health services for all community members.…”

Background: The Iranian health system is based on social health insurance, which is responsible for providing access to basic health care. In addition to basic treatment insurance, complementary health insurance (CHI) offers introductory packages that include surplus services. We recently observed an increase in Iran's health insurance loss coefficient, from 16.5% to 90.4% in 2017.Aim: To determine the willingness to pay (WTP) for (CHI).Methods: We attempted to determine the WTP for CHI in this study to understand better the potential market and the factors that influence CHI demand. The study surveyed 1023 households in the Kerman Province. A questionnaire developed by the researcher was used in this study, based on the principles of contingent valuation and the bidding game method principles. In each scenario, the factors affecting people's WTP, the demand function, and the effective factors on demand were determined using linear multivariate regression using the ordinary least squares method.
