Low socioeconomic status (SES) is associated with a higher prevalence of unhealthy lifestyles compared to a high SES. Health interventions that promote a healthy lifestyle, like eHealth solutions, face limited adoption in low SES groups. To improve the adoption of eHealth interventions, their alignment with the target group's attitudes is crucial. This study investigated the attitudes of people with a low SES toward health, healthcare, and eHealth. We adopted a mixed-method community-based participatory research approach with 23 members of a community center in a low SES neighborhood in the city of Rotterdam, the Netherlands. We conducted a first set of interviews and analyzed these using a grounded theory approach resulting in a group of themes. These basic themes' representative value was validated and refined by an online questionnaire involving a different sample of 43 participants from multiple community centers in the same neighborhood. We executed three focus groups to validate and contextualize the results. We identified two general attitudes based on nine profiles toward health, healthcare, and eHealth. The first general attitude, optimistically engaged, embodied approximately half our sample and involved light-heartedness toward health, loyalty toward healthcare, and eagerness to adopt eHealth. The second general attitude, doubtfully disadvantaged, represented roughly a quarter of our sample and was related to feeling encumbered toward health, feeling disadvantaged within healthcare, and hesitance toward eHealth adoption. The resulting attitudes strengthen the knowledge of the motivation and behavior of people with low SES regarding their health. Our results indicate that negative health attitudes are not as evident as often claimed. Nevertheless, intervention developers should still be mindful of differentiating life situations, motivations, healthcare needs, and eHealth expectations. Based on our findings, we recommend eHealth should fit into the person', Design Aesthetics, Applied Ergonomics and Design

To effectively confront the type 2 diabetes (T2D) epidemic, policymakers and the public need to problematize T2D less as a medical and more as a social problem. An award-winning T2D prevention campaign was harnessed to determine the most successful ways of framing ads on Facebook. We will observe variation in the effectiveness of ad message-frames within audience-segments. Six parallel quasi-experiments (participants N = 203,156) were conducted with 6 disparate audience-segments defined through the Facebook ads-manager tool. Across all audiences, we exposed Facebook users to values-based ad-frames (10-15-word appeals), assigning 7 of 11 possible frames to participants within each audience in a quasi-experimental fashion (using Facebook users' birth-month). Engagement was measured by rates of ad video-views, unique-link-clicks and donations to the campaign. Contrary to our hypothesis, we observed remarkable consistency across target audiences. Ad-frames that ranked highly with most audience-segments included Entertainment and Emotional Appeal; Defiance Against Authority Appeal; Second-Hand Smoke/Environmental Appeal; and to a lesser extent, Common-Enemy/War-Metaphor Appeal. Conclusion and Practice-Implications: Across disparate segments of society, there appears to be a set of common values that public health communication initiatives can tap into to catalyze a more inclusive movement to confront the T2D epidemic through policy, systems and environmental approaches.

Background: Patients do not always follow medical indications. This is a public health problem, with implications in health care and costs. The objective of this study was to calculate the percentage of non-adherence of adults to the treatment prescribed in a Hospital Emergency Service (“HES”) and understanding wich factors led to poor adherence so improvements can be established. Methods: Prospective observational study. Cohort of adults who attended the HES. We collected sociodemographic data, medical history, chronic treatments, diagnosis and treatment at discharge from each individual. We applied Morisky-Green test (tailor made to the HES) to asses secondary non-adherence and multivariate analysis to find a correlation with the factors studied. Results: We established a non-adherence of 36.6% (IC95%=30.0-43.8). Patients with chronic endocrine pathology (RR=11.2; IC95%=2.1-60.8), diagnosed with ophthalmological problems (RR=9.8; IC95%=1.1-89.6) or contusions, sprains or fractures (RR=2.9; IC95%=1.1- 7.8), those who were prescribed antibiotics (RR=5.4; IC95%=2.4-11.9), or those who considered that they had received sufficient explanations (RR=3.5; IC95%=1.0- 13.2) were more adherent. Those who received analgesics or anti-inflammatories were less adherent (RR=0.4; IC95%=0.2-0.9). Conclusions: Our results provide information on adherence in acute pathologies in the emergency department. Diabetes and ophthalmological problems or trauma are predictors of increased adherence. We observe more adherence in people with antibiotic treatments, although 20% did not complete treatment. There is a lack of adherence to analgesic/anti-inflammatory treatments. We consider it is important for professionals to take into account patient´s concerns about the medication. Patients who considered they had received enough explanations on their treatment were more adherent tan others. We believe it would be useful to provide further information about the outcomes of the medication we pres, Fundamentos: Que los pacientes no siempre sigan las indicaciones médicas es un problema de salud pública, que tiene implicaciones sobre los cuidados de salud y el coste de los servicios sanitarios. El objetivo del estudio fue determinar el porcentaje de no adhesión al tratamiento pautado en adultos en un Servicio de Urgencias Hospitalarias (SUH), así como identificar los factores que influyen en ello para instaurar así medidas de mejora. Sujetos y métodos: Se realizó un estudio observacional prospectivo, mediante una cohorte de personas adultas que acudieron al SUH. De cada persona se recogieron datos sociodemográficos, antecedentes, tratamientos crónicos y diagnóstico y tratamiento al alta. Se evaluaron, por medio de encuesta, la no adhesión primaria y secundaria (test de Morisky-Green adaptado a Urgencias), y se relacionó con los factores recogidos empleando análisis multivariable. Resultados: Se detectó una no adhesión del 36,6% (IC95%=30,0-43,8). Fueron más adherentes las personas con antecedente de enfermedad endocrina (RR=11,2; IC95%=2,1-60,8) y las que al alta fueron diagnosticadas de contusiones, esguinces o fracturas (RR=2,9; IC95%=1,1-7,8), o de algún problema oftalmológico (RR=9,8; IC95%=1,1-89,6). También fueron más adherentes los que al alta recibieron tratamiento antibiótico (RR=5,4; IC95%=2,4-11,9) o recibieron suficientes explicaciones (RR=3,5; IC95%=1,0-13,2). Fueron menos adherentes los pacientes con tratamiento analgésico o antinflamatorio (RR=0,4; IC95%=0,2-0,9). Conclusiones: Los resultados aportan información sobre la adhesión en patologías agudas en Urgencias. El ser diabético y el acudir debido a un problema oftalmológico o traumatológico son predictores de una mayor adhesión. En las personas con tratamiento antibiótico se observa una mayor adhesión, aunque todavía son necesarios esfuerzos para mejorar la situación, ya que un 20% no realizó adecuadamente el tratamiento. Se observa una importante falta de adhesión a los tratamientos con analgé

Recognizing people at risk is essential for effective prevention. We developed an instrument that conceptually links engagement in restorative activities with persons’ appreciation for mental vigor. Based on a sample of 322 persons from the general population and a clinical sample of 56 patients diagnosed with burnout, we found that the scope of a person's recovery-geared activities significantly corresponds with cognitive failures, mental fatigue, need for recovery, psychosomatic complaints, and neuroticism. Patients also engaged in significantly more restorative activities than respondents from the general population. Engagement in recovery activities may indicate elevated vulnerability to stress and a need of restoration.

Mounting research has demonstrated relationships between meaning in life (MIL) and a wide range of health–relevant outcomes, including health symptoms, healthpromoting behaviors, health–risking behaviors, cognitive decline, and mortality. Despite these provocative results, there have been few efforts to explain why meaning and health should be linked. It is proposed that meaning supports a more positive health orientation among people, which in turn is related to more positive health behaviors and health. This model was tested using structural path analysis in a healthy, but health–risk–prone, sample of 571 undergraduate students, focusing on health criterion variables of health symptoms, attitudes toward condom use, and substance abuse. Two aspects of health orientation, proactive health orientation and health information discounting, were assessed. Direct relationships were observed between MIL and health criterion variables, as well as indirect relationships carried by combinations of both health orientations. In a generally healthy, health–risk–prone sample, MIL was beneficially related to health symptoms, risky condom attitudes, and substance use. Proactive health orientation and health information discounting statistically explained some of these relationships, suggesting new avenues for intervening to promote healthy lifestyle factors and prevent adverse health outcomes.
