Retracted PublicationWillingness to Accept COVID-19 Vaccine and Associated Factors Among Adult Household Members in Dire Dawa City Administration, East Ethiopia.
COVID-19 vaccine is a vital strategy to prevent and control this pandemic. This will depend principally on people's acceptance of COVID-19 vaccine. We aimed to determine the willingness to accept COVID vaccine among adult household members of Dire Dawa city administration. ⋯ The estimated willingness to accept COVID-19 vaccine in the study setting is very low and far from the set target to be reached by the end of 2022. Being free from chronic disease, and having good knowledge and positive attitude about COVID-19 vaccine were the main drivers for willingness. Public awareness directed to increase knowledge about COVID-19 vaccine and attitude change strategies should be scaled up to increase the COVID-19 vaccine uptake. Moreover, those individuals with chronic diseases need special attention.

Exploring Stem Cell Transplanted Patients' Perspectives on Medication Self-Management and Electronic Monitoring Devices Measuring Medication Adherence: A Qualitative Sub-Study of the Swiss SMILe Implementation Science Project.
Little is known about allogeneic stem cell transplant (alloSCT) patients' medication adherence strategies. Acceptability and preferences regarding electronic monitoring (EM) systems to assess all three phases of medication adherence (ie, initiation, implementation, persistence) are crucial to allow their successful implementation in clinical or research settings but have not yet been evaluated. We therefore aimed to explore: 1) alloSCT patients' medication adherence and self-management strategies; and 2) their acceptability and preferences of three different EM systems (MEMS Cap, Helping Hand, Button) as part of the Swiss SMILe study. ⋯ Regarding EM systems for medication adherence, end-user preferences and acceptability influence adoption and fidelity. Of the three systems tested, our sample found the MEMS Button most acceptable and most preferable. Therefore, we will use it for our USB SMILe study.

Validating a Self-Reported Medication Nonadherence Measure in the Context of Multiple Chronic Diseases and Routes of Medication Administration Among Patients with Type 2 Diabetes.
Patients with diabetes may take oral and injectable medications and often have comorbid chronic diseases. It is unclear whether to assess nonadherence for oral and injectable medications separately or combined and for comorbid conditions separately or combined. ⋯ Although separate versions increase response time, it may improve accuracy. Responses to the measure can facilitate conversations about nonadherence between providers and patients to inform clinical decision-making.

ReviewImproving Adherence to Wearing Compression Stockings for Chronic Venous Insufficiency and Venous Leg Ulcers: A Scoping Review.
Patient adherence to wearing compression stockings in the management of chronic venous insufficiency (CVI) and venous leg ulcers (VLUs) is low. Poor adherence with compression stockings contributes to recurrence and impaired healing of VLUs. As such, the purpose of this review was to report on the scientific evidence related to adherence and explore modifiable factors which impact adherence with compression stockings. ⋯ Inconsistency in the definition and measurement of adherence limits meaningful interpretation of the literature. No individual intervention has consistently demonstrated improved adherence. Multidimensional interventions show promise but require further investigation with high-quality trials. Improving adherence appears to improve health outcomes in VLU /CVI populations but there is a lack of information directly linking improved adherence with cost outcomes.

Person-Centered Care in a Tertiary Hospital Through Patient's Eyes: A Cross-Sectional Study.
The current trend in healthcare systems around the world is moving towards a person (or patient)-centered care (PCC) model. While some healthcare organizations have only recently embraced the PCC approach, there is no evidence of person-centered care in Saudi hospitals. This study aimed to assess patients' perspectives on the climate of person-centered care and its associated factors in a tertiary hospital in Saudi Arabia. ⋯ Overall, patients' perspective on person-centered care seems positive. Patient and hospital characteristics could play an important role in shaping patients' perceptions of the climate of person-centered care domains.
