Citizens\u27 Health Information Privacy Concerns: A Multifaceted Approach

The increasing prevalence of ICTs in healthcare is transforming the health services received by patients. This transformation is in part facilitated by healthcare providers’ utilization of eHealth technologies, which provide physicians with access to the health data required to treat patients. The recent emergence of mobile health (mHealth) technologies such as mHealth applications and personal health records (PHRs) enable citizens to play a role in this transformation by presenting them with the opportunity to manage their own health. The success of both eHealth and mHealth technologies is contingent on acceptance and adoption by both physicians and citizens. However in order to ensure success, the factors driving or inhibiting acceptance and adoption of these technologies must be understood. In the existing literature, factors driving citizen acceptance of health ICTs are under-examined. This paper focuses on citizens’ health information privacy concerns (HIPC), which are regularly cited as a barrier to health ICT implementation. The paper presents a framework to investigate the influence of citizens’ HIPC on their acceptance and adoption of health ICTs. An upcoming study which tests this framework and the hypotheses presented in the paper is also outlined

TOWARDS AN INCLUSIVE WORLD: EXPLORING M-HEALTH ADOPTION ACROSS GENERATIONS

Mobile health (m-health) technologies empower individuals to manage their personal health. Whilst older citizens can benefit greatly from m-health, it remains the case that younger individuals are more likely to use these technologies. However, the factors that drive and inhibit m-health adoption across different age groups remain relatively unexplored. By understanding what drives adoption among different age groups, efforts can be made to meet their needs and increase adoption by all. This study tests whether the predictors of adoption in the technology adoption literature can be extended to the m-health context and whether age serves as a moderator. Our findings suggest that while the extant technology adoption predictors offer insights into adoption decisions, additional constructs would enable a more comprehensive understanding of m-health adoption. The moderating role of age is also supported. Younger individuals are influenced by their expectation of m-health performance, while older individuals are influenced by their perceived ability to use these technologies. M-health technologies should therefore be marketed differently for these age groups and designed to suit their differing needs. This paper highlights the need to educate older citizens to ensure they can take advantage of the benefits offered by m-health and avoid a widening digital divide

Understanding the Privacy Issue in the Digital Age: An Expert Perspective

The importance of privacy has been the subject of much debate for centuries. While the public opinion continues to value and desire privacy, the level of privacy afforded to citizens continues to diminish owing to the continued, rapid pace of technological advances. With the imminent transition to the Internet of Things (IoT), the future of privacy is uncertain and in danger. In order to understand what the future holds for privacy, we leverage the predictions made by 2511 privacy experts. Utilizing semantic analysis, we identify the emerging privacy-related concepts and explore the relationships between these concepts. The resultant framework will be compared to existing privacy frameworks to determine the influence of individual and external factors such as demographics and culture on experts’ predictions, and to identify fruitful avenues for future privacy research in the digital age. The study will also provide actionable recommendations for developing privacy preserving and enhancing tools

Exploring the interplay between fat talk, social media use and body image among young women: New opportunities for health education?

Background: ‘Fat Talk’, or the act of negatively discussing one’s own or another person’s body, is linked to body image constructs, body dissatisfaction, low self-esteem and disordered eating. The spaces in which young women talk about the body are changing, as social media use escalates. Understanding the interplay between social media use, body image and fat talk, in different contexts, is needed. Method: Focus group interviews were used to explore how young women (aged 15–19) experience fat talk while using social media and the possible effect on body image constructs. Using purposive convenience sampling, young women who regularly used social media and were living in an inner city of England were recruited. Thematic analysis was used for analysis and six themes were identified, both a priori and inductively, to explore the interplay between them. Findings: Over 35 women were successfully recruited into the study, with 18 of these finally participating in focus group interviews. Among participants, social media use was linked to increased self-evaluation of the body, engagement in social comparative behaviour and negative self-talk about the body. Although fat talk was reportedly common and widespread, it was unacceptable in the online space. However, body talk, other than size or shape, was permissible. Conclusion: Fat talk can be divisive; however, if it becomes unacceptable in the online space, negative self-talk may increase. If fat talk is replaced by an all-encompassing ‘body talk’, then this too may exacerbate existing pressures on young people and their mental health and well-being. Understanding the relationship between social media, body dissatisfaction and body talk may provide new opportunities for health education to promote a more constructive prevention discourse of the body, including body talk, in or around the online space

TOWARDS AN UNDERSTANDING OF THE FACTORS THAT INFLUENCE CITIZEN TRUST IN SOCIAL MEDIA HEALTH PLATFORMS (12)

Internet penetration rates continue to grow, in the United States for example, it stands at 87% of the population (WorldBank, 2016). In addition, the variety of purposes for which citizens use the Internet is increasing. This is particularly evident in the area of health, where a growing number of Internet users utilise the Internet as a source of health information. The growth in citizens seeking health information online has coincided with the emergence of social media health platforms and applications. While such initiatives have potential to empower health consumers through increased diffusion of targeted health information, the success of these platforms is dependent on their acceptance and adoption. Moreover, there is a lack of understanding as to what factors can generate trust in such platforms. This is despite the fact that trust is an essential component of traditional healthcare delivery and results in increased engagement and participation in health forums

A Holistic Classroom: Integrating Religious Education and Social, Personal and Health Education for the Holistic Development of the child.

The purpose of this action research project was to explore how I can change and develop my practice to create a holistic learning environment in my classroom for the well-being of the child. The research was conducted in a co-educational urban school in Dublin with Catholic patronage. The majority of the children in my class come from a disadvantaged socio-economic background. This self-study research project was designed by integrating the curricular areas of Religious Education (R.E.), through the Grow in Love programme, and Social, Personal and Health Education (SPHE). The stark contrast in time allocation between these two subjects was one of the factors which prompted this study. An integrated approach to planning and teaching aimed to address this issue of time allocation. The intervention took place during R.E. and SPHE lessons. The qualitative data was collected through observation, a reflective journal, and questionnaires. The data was stored in a password protected file or a secure folder to ensure confidentiality. The data collected was coded and analysed to uncover any emerging themes and findings. The emerging themes were reflection, relationships, and external factors. The three findings that emerged were: integrating SPHE and R.E. can lead to a more inclusive classroom environment; integration can cause an increase in workload for the practitioner; and starting with the child facilitates the creation of a holistic learning environment. Considering my future practice, this research caused a change in my teaching and planning. I began this project with the aim of enabling all children in my class to feel more nurtured in a caring and inclusive environment. With the increasingly diverse nature of the classroom, it is crucial to ensure all children feel included. Although it can create an increase in workload, the implementation of integration in planning was worthwhile for the creation of a holistic learning environment. The positives of planning meaningful integration between R.E. and SPHE, out way the negatives

BRIDGING THE KNOWLEDGE GAP: TOWARDS A COMPREHENSIVE MHEALTH TRAINING FRAMEWORK

Mobile health (mHealth) solutions can improve the efficiency and effectiveness of healthcare services delivered by Primary Healthcare (PHC) workers in rural communities in developing countries. However, a host of barriers can hinder the success of new mHealth implementations including low technology literacy levels and failure to communicate the benefits of the solution for all stakeholders. This paper argues that effective training of end users and all stakeholders can remove the barriers which stem from these issues, thereby improving the likelihood of successful implementation and enabling the eventual improvement of healthcare delivery. During a visit to Nigeria, the perceptions of key stakeholders regarding IMPACT, a new mHealth solution, were explored to ascertain the training needs of all stakeholders in the healthcare ecosystem. The paper leverages data from this visit and presents IMPACTeD, a comprehensive mHealth training framework which aims to develop a collective understanding of the solution among all stakeholders, while also improving the technical ability and confidence of PHC workers. The framework will be implemented and evaluated during a second visit to Nigeria. This paper contributes to the scant literature in developing countries by providing a framework which can guide the implementation of further mHealth solutions in developing nations

UNDERSTANDING THE PRESENT TO PREPARE FOR THE FUTURE: A REVIEW OF HEALTH INFORMATION SYSTEMS RESEARCH IN NIGERIA (7)

Health Information Systems (HIS) present many opportunities to address health challenges in developing countries such as Nigeria. However, in order to leverage the potential of HIS, the opportunities and challenges facing implementation must be explored and understood. This paper conducts an archival analysis of the existing literature on HIS in Nigeria published in premier Information Systems (IS) and Health Informatics outlets; in an effort to provide a comprehensive picture of existing literature by identifying trends, discussing findings, and proposing new research opportunities. The 18 articles meeting the inclusion criteria are reviewed. Current trends are discussed using the framework developed by McLeon et al. (2013) for understanding the factors influencing health IS implementation in developing countries. At present, several challenges face IS implementation in Nigeria such as the lack of policy guidance, resistance among end users, and cultural barriers. In addition, existing studies are limited in scope, theory, and level of analysis applied. The paper contributes to the literature by investigating the status quo, presenting new areas ripe for future investigation including the organisational, financial, and technological issues at play, and illuminating important issues which can guide pilot testing and implementation of new health IS initiatives in Nigeria

A ground-up approach to mHealth in Nigeria: A study of primary healthcare workers’ attitude to mHealth adoption

Mobile Health (mHealth) has been piloted in developing countries to transform the delivery of healthcare services. Despite this heightened focus on mHealth, the number of fully operational mHealth solutions implemented in these locations remains surprisingly low. To extend mHealth projects beyond pilot stage it is imperative that the primary end user is positively predisposed to engaging with the mHealth intervention. Through exploring initial perceptions, we can inform later stages of mHealth projects or develop interventions to convert attitudes into commitment or motivation to use mHealth. This qualitative exploratory study aims to understand end users’, namely Primary Healthcare (PHC) workers, initial attitudes towards a mHealth project called IMPACT (usIng Mobile Phones for Assessing, Classifying and Treating sick children). We conducted a field study in Enugu State, Nigeria to understand end users’ perceptions of the relevance, benefits, threats and initial understanding of the technology influencing end users’ attitudes towards adoption of mHealth. The initial findings indicate that PHC workers expressed positive perceptions regarding the relevance and benefits associated with the IMPACT app. PHC workers focus on how the technology could support them to be more efficient and effective in their roles. However, they advocate the need for community wide education and training to eradicate negative perceptions or misgivings about the potential use of mHealth as part of a patient’s assessment
