Factors influencing the adoption and participation rate of nursing homes staff in a saliva testing screening programme for COVID-19.

peer reviewedTesting strategies are crucial to prevent and control the spread of covid-19 but suffer from a lack of investment in understanding the human factors that influence their implementation. The aim of this study was to understand the factors that encourage participation and the level of engagement of nursing homes staff in a routine saliva testing programme for COVID-19 In December 2020, nursing homes (n = 571) in Wallonia (Belgium) were invited to participate in a saliva testing programme for their staff. The directors were questioned by telephone at the end of a 3-week pilot phase. 445 nursing homes took part in the evaluation questionnaire, of which 36(8%) answered that they chose not to participate in the testing programme. The average participation rate of nursing staff was 49(±25)%. Perception of the justification of the efforts required for testing and perception of practicability of the procedure were significantly associated with the adoption of the system by the nursing homes directors (OR(95%CI): 5.96(1.97-18.0), p = 0.0016); OR(95%CI): 5.64(1.94-16.4), p = 0.0015 respectively). Staff support, incentives and meetings increased the level of engagement in testing (p<0.05). While the adoption of the programme confirmed the acceptability of salivary testing as a means of screening, the participation rate confirmed the need for studies to understand the factors that encourage health care staff to take part. The results suggested rethinking strategies to consider staff engagement from a health promotion perspective

Learnings from the use of CEdRIC strategy in the context of COVID-19 pandemic.

editorial reviewedThis article relates the experience of mobilisation of the CEdRIC strategy by health promotion staff of the Province of Liège, Belgium between June and September 2020. The perception of the beneficiaries is also approached. Four key messages are discussed in the article: the adjustment of a brief educational intervention strategy to the context of the pandemic and integration into primary care; the need for the citizen to be heard and accompanied in times of crisis; the need to go beyond information to health education embedded in a health promotion approach; the role that a structure such as the Province of Liège can play in the health promotion landscape. This article relates the experience of mobilisation of the CEdRIC strategy by health promotion staff of the Province of Liège, through the eyes of the beneficiaries (citizen) contacted by telephone in the days following the intervention. The results indicate an over-information concerning the rules to be respected and a good knowledge of preventive measures. The participants consider these measures useful, easy to apply and declare that they have a role to play in the fight against the pandemic. Nevertheless, not all of the recommendations made by the government are implemented by all participants. Future research should focus on adherence to preventive measures and the factors that can influence this adherence so that future and sustainable actions can be put in place.La pandémie de coronavirus (COVID-19) a mis en évidence l’importance de développer des stratégies de prévention pour éviter la propagation du virus en adoptant des mesures d’autogestion sanitaires. La stratégie CEdRIC consiste en un protocole en 5 étapes visant à aider le personnel soignant des centres de dépistage à structurer leur communication afin d’éduquer brièvement les citoyens sur les conduites à tenir pour préserver leur santé et prévenir la propagation du virus. Dans cet article est relatée l’expérience de mobilisation de la stratégie CEdRIC menée entre juin et septembre 2020 par du personnel de promotion de la Santé de la Province de Liège. La perception des bénéficiaires est également approchée. Quatre messages clés sont discutés dans l’article : l’ajustement d’une stratégie d’intervention éducative brève au contexte de la pandémie et d’intégration en première ligne de soins; le besoin pour le citoyen d’être entendu et accompagné en temps de crise; la nécessité de dépasser l’information pour passer à de l’éducation en santé inscrite dans une approche de promotion de la santé; le rôle qu’une structure comme la Province de Liège peut tenir dans le paysage de la promotion de la Santé
