Objectives: This study investigates how England's and Italy's Public Health Governmental Departments addressed COVID-19 vaccine hesitancy (VH) on social media platforms.

Study Design: A conventional content analysis of the social media accounts of Public Health England (PHE), currently the UK Health Security Agency, and the Italian Ministry of Health (IMH) were performed during December 1st, 2020-April 30th, 2021.

Methods: A total of 531 and 110 posts were extracted from the accounts of PHE and the IMH respectively.

Clinical and health economic evaluation of a post-stroke arrhythmia monitoring service.

Atrial fibrillation (AF) is a major cause of recurrent stroke and transient ischaemic attack (TIA) in the UK. As many patients can have asymptomatic paroxysmal AF, prolonged arrhythmia monitoring is advised in selected patients following a stroke or TIA. This service evaluation assessed the clinical and potential health economic impact of prolonged arrhythmia monitoring post-stroke using R-TEST monitoring devices.

Health, care or shelter? An exploratory analysis of the factors affecting overall satisfaction with services of residents' relatives in nursing homes.

Residents' relatives are regularly solicited to evaluate the hotel, social- and health-care services that nursing homes provide to the aged in order to preserve their residual cognitive, physical, and social capabilities. In this study we argue that, due to the services' different technical and functional elements, residents' relatives find it easier to assess the quality of the hotel services instead of the other types of services. Based on 2012 responses from residents' relatives in 38 nursing homes in the Northern part of Italy, our results show that satisfaction with hotel services partially mediates the impact of satisfaction with social- and health-care services, above and beyond their direct effect on the overall satisfaction with all services.

Evaluation of myCOPD Digital Self-management Technology in a Remote and Rural Population: Real-world Feasibility Study.

Background: Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is a common, costly, and incurable respiratory disease affecting 1.2 million people in the United Kingdom alone. Acute COPD exacerbations requiring hospitalization place significant demands on health services, and the incidence of COPD in poor, remote, and rural populations is up to twice that of cities.

An exploration of the link between residents' demands and caregivers' well-being: Evidence from the long-term healthcare industry.

This study examines the extent to which important personal characteristics of nursing home residents affect the well-being of caregivers, as reflected in their levels of work-related positive and negative affect. To do this, we applied the Job Demands-Resources model to the analysis of caregivers' work-related well-being by focusing on residents' and their . A multiple regression analysis was carried out based on combined data from a sample of 1080 caregivers and 290 residents from 13 nursing homes in Italy.
