Comprehending scientific information have been reported as a barrier in evidence-based practice (EBP) adoption. This survey research aimed to verify the preferred sources of information for acquiring ...knowledge about physiotherapy and the association between types of information source and barriers in EBP implementation.
A total of 610 physiotherapists were included and answered an online questionnaire about the preferred sources for searching physiotherapy-related information and possible barriers in EBP implementation.
Physiotherapists reported scientific resources as the preferred source of information, scientific databases (31%), followed by scientific articles (25%). The main barrier cited in EBP implementation was the difficulty in obtaining full-text articles (34%), followed by lack of statistical knowledge (30%). The use of peer-reviewed resources as the most preferred source of information is associated with the presence of issues in comprehending scientific information.
Although the positive attitude toward the use of scientific information, the findings raised question regarding the proper translation of scientific information to clinical practice. The importance of scientific information seems to be a well-established attitude among physiotherapists. However, there is a clear need for strategies aiming to improve the understanding of scientific information and consequently facilitate EBP implementation.

In a health emergency situation, the degree of public compliance with orders from health authorities and governments can significantly affect the course of the pandemic. Based on the assumption that ...(non-)compliance with the authorities’ recommendations is directly linked to trust in the sources of information, in this article, we discuss the concrete case of the Portuguese government communication during the beginning of the second wave of the disease. In the context of an international investigation of the European Public Relations Education and Research Association Com-Covid network, an online survey was applied to 460 Portuguese citizens between October 7 and November 11, 2020. For this paper, we analyzed a section of the survey with questions regarding the sources of information that inspire greater confidence among the Portuguese population and their opinion on the management of government communication. The surveys were coded and entered in the SPSS statistical software. The study concluded a positive perception of government communication among respondents but that the Portuguese consider healthcare personnel to be more reliable sources of information than the media or government authorities. Regarding the gender issue, it was concluded that women trust the government more and have a better opinion about the authorities’ communication. Regarding age, it was found that young people are the ones who trust more the authorities and the media, while at the same time being the most critical of the government’s performance in managing the crisis. In general, respondents showed little confidence in digital social networks and digital influencers as a source of information about covid-19, and the higher the academic degree, the lesser confidence respondents have in influencers and digital social networks.
Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is a major health concern worldwide. There are limited studies which look into the actual knowledge level of CKD among the general population both locally and ...internationally. This study aims to assess the knowledge level of CKD among patients in a secondary hospital in Malaysia.
Consecutive sampling of patients attending the Medical Outpatient Clinic was performed in this crosssectional study. Respondents were given self-administered questionnaires which contain questions on demographic characteristics and knowledge on CKD.
Out of 300 respondents, 78.6% (n=236) of the respondents completed the questionnaire. Majority of respondents (73.7%, n=174) scored less than 4 out of 7 marks on knowledge on CKD. Respondents who were younger, males, having higher education status, professionals/executives and earned higher monthly income were more likely to have a higher mean knowledge score of CKD. Respondents who have heard of CKD were also significantly associated with higher mean knowledge score of CKD.
The study findings suggest that our Malaysian population is still inadequately informed on CKD, especially those who are at risk of developing CKD and its complications, and also among those of the lower socioeconomic group. In order for successful primary and secondary prevention of CKD, more importance should be placed on increasing awareness on CKD among these atrisk groups.
Objetivo: Analisar os coletivos ciberfeministas como fonte de informação, cujos problemas incluem questionar se esses sites disponibilizam sugestões de bibliografias com publicações que abordam o ...tema, identificar quais são os tipos de materiais (e-books, artigos, vídeos, dissertações, teses, cartilhas, leis, etc.) disponibilizados, quem os acessa, quem os produz e se mensuram os acessos aos materiais.Método: Optou-se pela pesquisa exploratória usando-se o método de etnografia virtual, avaliando os coletivos feministas brasileiros destacados na literatura pesquisada: Think Olga, Não Me Kahlo, Geledés, Blogueiras Negras, Escreva Lola Escreva, Blogueiras Feministas, Biscate Social Club, Gorda e Sapatão, Transfeminismos.Resultado: Os coletivos estudados apresentam, em sua maioria postagens de textos, muitos dos quais construídos a partir da consciência e conhecimento que o escritor tem do assunto, alguns seguindo uma abordagem próxima a de um depoimento, mostrando uma percepção pessoal sobre o tema, enquanto outros apresentam uma discussão com maior neutralidade. A busca por informação nesses blogs e outros ambientes virtuais, como páginas em redes sociais, nem sempre é facilitada, uma vez que alguns deles apresentam tags e campos de busca, mas nem todos. Se posicionam quanto ao possível público-alvo, contudo não foi localizado quantos acessos são realizados. Os comentários dos leitores são um indicador de que há interesse pelos materiais disponibilizados, mas não se tem um mapa dos acessos sobre quem e quanto foi acessado.Conclusões: Considera-se que a Ciência da Informação é fundamental para o ciberfeminismo, pois contribui diretamente para o empoderamento feminino, dado que visa compreender a dinâmica de desenvolvimento e difusão de uma cultura informacional nesse meio, e uma das principais propostas é promover o acesso e a apropriação à informação pelas mulheres
Abstract
The increasing occurrence of diseases across geographical borders creates a need to understand how information source preferences and trust in those sources influence risk perception across ...contexts. However, cross-context studies about information sources are not common in health communication and promotion scholarship. Using a survey, the research team compared how information sources, perceived usefulness of Ebola information, interpersonal and social trust and context influence risk perception and self-efficacy in an Ebola-affected (Liberia) and -unaffected (Ghana) country. Respondents from the unaffected country trusted the information they received significantly more and had higher levels of interpersonal and social trust than respondents from the affected country. These findings reinforce the use of community health workers as channels to support behavior and social change-focused programs, particularly in crisis situations, in addition to other information channels and sources.
The study was conducted to determine the profile of the household heads; the level of household coping strategies in natural risk and disaster, and the relationship between profile and the household ...coping strategies.It used correlational method of research. Sixty-three household heads in barangay Pag-asa, San Jose, Occidental Mindoro served as the respondents of the study. Mean, frequency, and Pearson Moment Correlation were used in the study. Results revealed that majority of the respondents were middle aged, with formal education, medium size household, long length of residency with an average monthly income below the poverty threshold of the province. It was also found out that coastal household “moderately adopted” the different coping mechanisms in natural disasters and that household size and number of years spent in formal education has significant relationship with the coping mechanisms.

As the planetary civilization enters a qualitatively new era, the dialectical contradiction inevitably grows: national-cultural - globally universal. Obviously, in its resolution, not the last place ...belongs to the languages of the peoples of the world. Functioning in interactive interaction, the languages of the world form a civilizational linguocultural space. National languages are increasingly acquiring, in addition to the function associated with the promotion of soft power, the function of a translator of the cultural heritage of peoples and nations into the global cultural landscape. The purpose of this article is to determine the potential of the Russian language in the world cultural and linguistic mainstream. When writing the article, a wide range of sources was used, including materials from international foundations and organizations, documents characterizing Russian and European language policy, electronic resources and scientific literature on the problem. In addition to special and general scientific methods, the comparative method was used in the work, which made it possible to project European multilingualism on the logic of the article, revealing the mechanisms of global linguistic integration. By virtue of its natural qualities, the Russian language has a unique potential for adaptation to a new social reality. The domestic historical and cultural process has determined the unique features of the modern Russian language: special communication properties that meet the broad needs of users, including not only representatives of the Russian ethnos; imagery that allows you to convey all the richness of the cultural heritage of Russia and the ability to present the cultural heritage of other peoples. The civilizational potential of the Russian language largely depends on how long its ability to aggregate the national cultural values of the peoples of Russia and to promote them into the global cultural process will persist and increase, which, of course, does not mean embedding into the politically engaged hierarchy of great and peripheral languages. A special role in the search for a multilingualism strategy as the upcoming fundamental principle of the global world order belongs to the European Union, which is paving the first steps in this direction, fraught with problems and difficulties. The article attempts to analyze the relevance of the tools chosen by the European Union to implement the strategic goal of multilingualism. The first experience of moving towards achieving this goal testifies to the counter productiveness of following the path of linguistic universalism or cultural domination. It is obvious that hopes for the deprivation of national and cultural identities in the linguistic space also demonstrate their failure. Globalization as an objective process inevitably determines the transformation of all languages of the world, including the Russian language. However, it is clear that only the changes enriching them, but not distorting the natural appearance, coincide with the direction of the cultural evolution of the planetary civilization.

Impact evaluation has grown more popular as a method for identifying the causal links between interventions and outcomes. These kind of evaluations assess changes that can be attributed to a ...particular intervention. Both innovations in statistical methods and the demand for evaluations that can measure such development results are increasing. The World Bank Group is the largest producer of impact evaluations among all development institutions. Thus, IEG has evaluated the relevance, quality, and influence of World Bank and IFC impact evaluations. IEG finds that the World Bank Group portfolio of impact evaluations is largely aligned with sector strategies and project objectives. Selection and coordination of impact evaluations has been improving. Most World Bank impact evaluations meet either medium or high quality standards, and about half of IFC impact evaluations did. Issues related to funding, staff capacity, and incentives, however, constrain the scope and coverage of impact evaluations in the Bank Group. IEG makes five recommendations to strengthen the Bank Groups impact evaluation efforts, revolving around consistency, coordination, quality standards, and ensuring operational relevance. Both development and evaluation professionals will find valuable lessons in this evaluation. There are real benefits from impact evaluations, including their influence on development practices through contributions to project assessment and design of future projects. Thus, development practitioners engaged in designing projects, evaluators interestedin using similar methodology, and the general evaluation community will be able to use the lessons IEG sets out in this report.
