The prevalence of cardiovascular disorders among healthcare providers have been increasing in the past few years and research conducted in this aspect have identified various risk factors that affect cardiovascular health: like shift work, high stress, anxiety, work environment, obesity, high basal metabolic index, and others. PRISMA guidelines were followed and data search was conducted on PubMed, PMC, MEDLINE, and Google Scholar wherein the identification and screening led to 31 selected studies on identification of knowledge, perception and attitude of the healthcare providers regarding their cardiovascular disorders. Results reveal that knowledge level even although high in healthcare providers regarding their cardiovascular health, the attitude or perception differs among them. Lack of time, stigma, fear of unknown, access to healthcare, not wishing to burden co-workers are some of the identified factors which are affecting their decision making regarding proper actions to be taken to address their cardiovascular issues.

Acceptability of intermittent preventive treatment of malaria in pregnancy with sulfadoxine-pyrimethamine plus dihydroartemisinin-piperaquine in Papua New Guinea: a qualitative study.

Global and Tropical Health Division, Menzies School of Health Research, Charles Darwin University, Darwin, NT, Australia.
Background: In moderate-to-high malaria transmission regions, the World Health Organization recommends intermittent preventive treatment in pregnancy (IPTp) with sulfadoxine-pyrimethamine (SP) alongside insecticide-treated bed nets to reduce the adverse consequences of pregnancy-associated malaria. Due to high-grade Plasmodium falciparum resistance to SP, novel treatment regimens need to be evaluated for IPTp, but these increase pill burden and treatment days. The present qualitative study assessed the acceptability of IPTp-SP plus dihydroartemisinin-piperaquine (DP) in Papua New Guinea, where IPTp-SP was implemented in 2009.

In the absence of a national guideline necessary for the standardization and harmonization of data, precision of data required for effective decision-making is therefore not guaranteed. The objective of the present study was to assess the reporting style of morbidity and mortality data in healthcare settings.
