Article Abstract
Critical care transport (CCT) education and training for health care providers are important for patient safety. In this study, a structured education and training program for CCT was implemented as a pilot in South Korea, and the effects of improving knowledge and confidence among health care providers were evaluated. This retrospective observational study analyzed pre- and post-test scores and survey responses from participants in the education program. The education program consisted of a didactic lecture, skill practice, and simulation for 9 categories lasting 80 hours. The participants included nurses and emergency medical technicians with experience in emergency or critical care. The study consisted of 2 phases, with data collected through web-based evaluation forms and structured questionnaires. The program involved 20 participants across the 2 phases. Posteducation assessments revealed significant improvements in knowledge and confidence in CCT practices. The participants were especially satisfied with their skill in trauma management and advanced CCT simulations. The Korean Critical Care Transport Curriculum education program effectively enhanced the knowledge and confidence of health care providers in CCT. This standardized education model should be considered by policy makers and stakeholders to improve patient safety in emergency medical systems.

Background: Sierra Leone has the world's third highest incidence of maternal mortality, with 443 deaths per 100,000 live births. Strengthening the country's midwifery workforce is essential to providing adequate maternal healthcare and reducing preventable perinatal mortality. In support of this goal, we developed and implemented a midwifery preceptor program (MPP) to train experienced midwives to effectively mentor new and student midwives.

Background: Disruptive behavior and emotional problems - especially anxiety - are common in children and frequently co-occur. However, the role of co-occurring emotional problems in disruptive behavior intervention response is unclear. This study aimed to compare the effectiveness of an indicated prevention program in children with disruptive behavior problems with vs.

Background: Interventions aimed to increase healthcare provider empathy and capacity to deliver person-centered care have been shown to improve healthcare seeking and outcomes. In the context of self-injectable contraception, empathetic counseling and coaching may be promising approaches for addressing "fear of the needle" among clients interested in using subcutaneous depot medroxyprogesterone (DMPA-SC). In Nigeria, the Delivering Innovation in Self-Care (DISC) project developed and evaluated an empathy-based in-service training and supportive supervision intervention for public sector family (FP) planning providers implemented in conjunction with community-based mobilization.

Background: Little is documented on key community-based One Health (OH) approach implementation, pro-activeness and effectiveness of interactions and strategies against Mpox outbreak public health emergency in international concern (PHEIC) in various African countries in order to stamp out the persisting Mpox outbreak threat and burden. Prioritizing critical community-based interventions and lessons learned from previous COVID-19, Mpox, Ebola, COVID-19, Rift Valley Fever and Marburg virus outbreaks revealed critical shortcomings in funding, surveillance, and community engagement that plague public health initiatives across the continent. The article provides critical insights and benefits of community-based One Health approaches implementation against Mpox outbreak management in Africa.

Background: Rare genetic variation provided by whole genome sequence datasets has been relatively less explored for its contributions to human traits. Meta-analysis of sequencing data offers advantages by integrating larger sample sizes from diverse cohorts, thereby increasing the likelihood of discovering novel insights into complex traits. Furthermore, emerging methods in genome-wide rare variant association testing further improve power and interpretability.
