Multi-level analysis of individual and work environment factors associated with nurses' perceived emotional exhaustion

Marco Clari et al.

Summary: Emotional exhaustion in nurses is affected by individual factors such as gender, workload, and emotional job demands, as well as work environment factors like ward culture and organizational policies. Protective factors include higher education, satisfaction with the role of follower, and group closeness.

Diagnostic performance and comparison of ultrasensitive and conventional rapid diagnostic test, thick blood smear and quantitative PCR for detection of low-density Plasmodium falciparum infections during a controlled human malaria infection study in Equatorial Guinea

Maxmillian Mpina et al.

Summary: This study compared the performance of an ultrasensitive rapid diagnostic test (uRDT), a conventional RDT (cRDT), and microscopy in detecting low density malaria infections. The results showed that uRDT and microscopy were more sensitive than cRDT but did not match the sensitivity of qPCR.

Technical evaluation and usability of a quantitative G6PD POC test in cord blood: a mixed-methods study in a low-resource setting

Germana Bancone et al.

Summary: A mixed-methods study was conducted to analyze the technical performance and usability of the 'STANDARD G6PD' Biosensor when used by trained midwives on cord blood samples at two rural clinics on the Thailand-Myanmar border. The Biosensor showed high sensitivity and specificity in diagnosing G6PD deficiency in newborns, and was well-received by healthcare staff in this resource-constrained setting.

Sensitivity and specificity of DPP® Fever Panel II Asia in the diagnosis of malaria, dengue and melioidosis

Premjit Amornchai et al.

Summary: The DPP (R) Fever Panel II Asia is a multiplex lateral flow immunoassay for the diagnosis of malaria, dengue, and melioidosis. The study found that it had high sensitivity and specificity for malaria, but relatively limited performance for dengue and melioidosis. Further investigation is warranted to explore its operational advantages as a multiplex and quantitative point-of-care assay.

Glucose 6 Phosphate Dehydrogenase (G6PD) quantitation using biosensors at the point of first contact: a mixed method study in Cambodia

Bipin Adhikari et al.

Summary: This study evaluated the operational aspects of biosensor deployment in the hands of village malaria workers in Cambodia. The results showed that skills using the biosensor improved progressively, and VMWs expressed confidence and enthusiasm in using the biosensor. Providing G6PD testing at the point of first contact can overcome barriers for patients and deploying biosensors in routine work of VMWs can expand and strengthen their role as healthcare providers in the community. However, VMWs also reported some practical difficulties in using the biosensor.

Barriers and facilitators to HIV and syphilis rapid diagnostic testing in antenatal care settings in low-income and middle-income countries: a systematic review

Ye Zhang et al.

Summary: The uptake of HIV and syphilis rapid diagnostic tests (RDTs) among pregnant women in low-income and middle-income countries is suboptimal. Factors influencing the acceptance and continuation of RDT testing by pregnant women include their perception of the benefits for themselves and their babies, and the provision of gender-sensitive, confidential, respectful, flexible, and future-oriented services. Sociocultural beliefs, awareness of diseases, and gender roles in society also influence the acceptability of RDTs among pregnant women. Healthcare workers require ongoing training, accurate and easy-to-use tests, support from supervisors and communities, adequate resources and staffing, and reliable salary to provide high-quality RDT care. Well-developed guidelines and health system infrastructures are crucial for the delivery of RDTs in antenatal clinics. Community stakeholders should also be involved in promoting RDT uptake in these clinics.

Potential for community based surveillance of febrile diseases: Feasibility of self-administered rapid diagnostic tests in Iquitos, Peru and Phnom Penh, Cambodia

Amy C. Morrison et al.

Summary: Rapid diagnostic tests (RDTs) have the potential to quickly identify infectious diseases, but the study found varied levels of competency in using RDTs between residents in Iquitos, Peru and Phnom Penh, Cambodia. When provided at no cost, only a portion of febrile cases opted to use the RDTs provided, indicating the need for further research on the appropriate level of instructions or training needed for different settings.
