Learning interventions and training methods in health emergencies: A scoping review.
PLoS One
July 2024
Department of Medical and Health Sciences, Bangor University, Bangor, United Kingdom.
Background: Keeping the health workforce and the public informed about the latest evolving health information during a health emergency is critical to preventing, detecting and responding to infectious disease outbreaks or other health emergencies. Having a well-informed, ready, willing, and skilled workforce and an informed public can help save lives, reduce diseases and suffering, and minimize socio-economic loss in affected communities and countries. Providing "just in time" support and opportunities for learning in health emergencies is much needed for capacity building.

Special pathogens are broadly defined as highly transmissible organisms capable of causing severe disease in humans. Children's hospital healthcare personnel (HCP) should be prepared to identify patients possibly infected with a special pathogen, isolate the patient to minimize transmission, and inform key infection prevention, clinical, and public health stakeholders. Effective preparedness requires resources and practice with attention to education, policies and procedures, drills and training, and supplies.

Passport Health Silver Spring Travel Clinic, Silver Spring, MD 20903, USA.
Background: PfSPZ vaccines comprising Plasmodium falciparum (Pf) sporozoites (SPZ) have demonstrated > 90% protection against variant Pf malaria infections for at least 12 weeks; they are the only vaccines with the level of efficacy necessary to protect travellers. PfSPZ are eukaryotic cells stabilized by cryopreservation and distributed using a cryogenic (below -150 °C) cold chain. The Ebola vaccine and mRNA vaccines against SARS-CoV-2 pioneered uptake of vaccines requiring non-standard ultra-low temperature cold chains.

Department of Infectious Diseases, The First Affiliated Hospital of Army Medical University, Chongqing 400038, China.
Objective: To examine the application effect of body mechanics principles in the process of health workers doffing personal protective equipment (PPE).
Methods: A total of 360 health workers from a Fangcang shelter hospital, also known as alternate care site, in Shanghai were involved in a centralized 1-day training concerning essential skills for taking off PPE. The training was focused on integrating body mechanics principles, including expanding the support surface, lowering the center of gravity, reducing the shift in the the center of gravity, using the principle of leverage, and creating the appropriate operating space, in the PPE doffing process.
