“…By using different tools and recommendations from the film, informants improved their self-reliance by balancing risk and choice, which resulted in an active rehabilitation phase. This finding is in line with previous research findings (35)(36). Women's learning needs after a caesarean section are described as a functional, social, physical and emotional adaptation process.…”

“…Postpartum health education interventions are provided in the form of case management, treatment, and surveillance interventions (15), which increase the importance of avai-lable and practical information that facilitates daily life. Moreover, a video or film is a helpful and interactive educational tool that facilitates client-provider communication (36).…”

Objective: The aim of the study was to describe women's experience of Internet-based information film in association to planned caesarean section. Background: Caesarean sections have become common practice and can cause complications such as physical ailment and pain. Therefore, preoperative information and early mobilization are recommended. Methods: The study comprised a total of 10 interviews with women after their caesarean section. The interviews were analyzed using manifest qualitative content analysis. Results: The main category "Safeness -to handle" and three subcategories "Control -to take care", "Possibility -to choose", and "Self-reliance -to be" were identified. By obtaining information materials women learned how to feel safe in a changed everyday life situation. Conclusion: Information on the Internet could educate women to achieve self-reliance and relate to a new family member by using decision aids (DA) and sense of coherence (SOC). Accessible pedagogical information materials on how to take care of the body after surgery can improve clinical outcome. One way to meet information needs and develop continuous learning and quality improvements in health is to develop strategies that teach and train health professionals to use the Internet as a means for distributing information.KEY WORDS: caesarean section, experiences, internet-based information, sense of coherence, self-care learning at NORTH CAROLINA STATE UNIV on May 15, 2015 njn.sagepub.com Downloaded from

“…Indeed, videos have been previously reported as highly effective media to address immigrant and refugee groups in a culturally appropriate format (Burke et al, 2004; Clabots & Dolphin, 1992; Destephano, Flynn, & Brost; Mahloch et al, 1999; Poureslami, Rootman, & Balka, 2007; Wang et al, 2008). The effectiveness of this media among these populations may stem from the narratives that run through a video, making them potentially more effective than traditional didactics or reading materials (Panford, Nyaney, Amoah, & Aidoo, 2001; Wang et al, 2008).…”

Tuberculosis (TB) disproportionately affects immigrants and refugees to the United States. Upon arrival to the US, many of these individuals attend adult education centers, but little is known about how to deliver TB health information at these venues. Therefore, a participatory approach was used to design and evaluate a tuberculosis education video in this setting. Focus groups data were used to inform the content of the video that was produced and delivered by adult learners and their teachers. The video was evaluated by learners for acceptability through 3 items with a 3-point Likert scale. Knowledge (4 items) and self-efficacy (2 items) about TB were evaluated before and after viewing the video. A total of 159 learners (94%) rated the video as highly acceptable. Knowledge about TB improved after viewing the video (56% correct vs. 82% correct; p=<0.001), as did TB-related self-efficacy (77% vs. 90%; p=<0.001). Adult education centers that serve large immigrant and refugee populations may be excellent venues for health education, and a video may be an effective tool to educate these populations. Furthermore, a participatory approach in designing health education materials may enhance the efficacy of these tools.

The cumulative total of persons forced to leave their country for fear of persecution or organized violence reached an unprecedented 24.5 million by the end of 2015. Providing equitable access to appropriate health services for these highly diverse newcomers poses challenges for receiving countries. In this case study, we illustrate the importance of translating epidemiology into policy to address the health needs of refugees by highlighting examples of what works as well as identifying important policy-relevant gaps in knowledge. First, we formed an international working group of epidemiologists and health services researchers to identify available literature on the intersection of epidemiology, policy, and refugee health. Second, we created a synopsis of findings to inform a recommendation for integration of policy and epidemiology to support refugee health in the US and other high-income receiving countries. Third, we identified eight key areas to guide the involvement of epidemiologists in addressing refugee health concerns. The complexity and uniqueness of refugee health issues, and the need to develop sustainable management information systems, require epidemiologists to expand their repertoire of skills to identify health patterns among arriving refugees, monitor access to appropriately designed health services, address inequities, and communicate with policy makers and multidisciplinary teams.
