“…Firstly, as a systematic literature review, it does not of itself fill the lack by empirical studies in this field, especially in Chinese universities. Second, the literature screening process involves a certain subjectivity, which is reflected in the chosen literature (Earnest, 2020). In addition, due to the limited databases that are employed, it is possible that related literature was inadvertently excluded.…”

The marketisation and internationalisation of higher education (HE) in several national contexts has led to the development of thinking about HE access as ‘buying a service’. This has led to increased prioritisation among universities regarding how to promote their reputation among their targeted audiences. However, recent literature regarding reputation management (RM) in Chinese HE is mainly conducted from an international perspective; this means the analysis is usually focused on international students in Chinese universities, and thus the other aspects such as the rationale and strategies of RM in Chinese HE remains relatively underdeveloped. In this article, we conduct a systematic literature review using the PRISMA convention to illustrate the meaning(s) of RM in Chinese HE and particularly how it is understood and developed. The review comprises branding and RM in HE. Moreover, we contribute to the theory of marketing for HE by proposing a new framework arising from the review: RM as an active-reactive continuum in which we provide a new perspective to characterise and better understand RM, particularly in the Chinese context. Active RM refers to how universities promote themselves; reactive RM refers to how universities cope with crises or other forms of negative events. This contribution helps the field understand Chinese universities’ RM practices and strategies nationally and internationally.

Introduction Opioid use is associated with significant burden of disease. Medications for opioid use disorder such as methadone are effective treatments. This study aimed to identify the healthcare provider perspectives on facilitators, barriers and unexplored opportunities toward achieving optimal clinical outcomes for clients on methadone treatment. Method The study conducted at a methadone treatment clinic in Kenya, used an exploratory study design to explore healthcare provider experiences of providing care to patients on methadone treatment. Interviews lasting an average of 30–40 min were transcribed verbatim and analyzed thematically using NVivo 12 software. Results Eleven participants were enrolled and three themes were identified namely: (a)The impact of methadone treatment on clients whereby methadone was perceived to possess transformative attributes enabling clients to regain some semblance of control of their lives including finding gainful employment and relationship restoration; (b) Threats to client recovery which include factors at the individual level such lack of training and factors at the system levels such as inadequate staff, and; (c) Thinking outside the box whereby participants proposed diverse strategies to support clients’ full engagement in care including private–public partnerships to support travel logistics. Conclusions Healthcare providers caring for clients on methadone treatment exhibited an understanding of the facilitators, barriers and opportunities for improving treatment outcomes for clients on methadone. Finding innovative solutions to mitigate the barriers identified can increase client retention and treatment outcomes.

Introduction: Stroke is the third leading cause of death in the Philippines, so these patients must continuously undergo rehabilitation for faster recovery. With the rise of COVID-19, physical therapy (PT) telerehabilitation (TR) has emerged, where services are provided outside the usual rehabilitation setting for patients with stroke to continue their treatment while reducing the risk of acquiring COVID-19. However, it is a relatively new service in the country; hence, further research is needed to identify the factors and needs of these patients during TR, which may help improve PT TR services. Objective: This study aims to explore the experiences and perspectives of Filipino patients with stroke who have undergone PT TR in the Philippines since March 2020. Administrators of healthcare facilities, policy-makers, and other decision-makers involved in evaluating, implementing, and developing PT TR may benefit patients with stroke. This can expand the scope of rehabilitation to patients with stroke who have no access to face-toface rehabilitation or improve the training or education of Physical Therapists who are providing TR to stroke patients. Methods: This will be a qualitative phenomenological study design that will use purposive sampling to recruit participants. Semi-structured interviews (SSI) will be conducted online using Google Meetings®, Zoom®, or Facebook Messenger® to record their experiences and perspectives. The NVivo data analysis software will be used to create codes and identify themes from the data gathered. The data that will be obtained is about the experiences and perspectives of Filipino patients with stroke regarding PT TR. The insights of the participants will undergo Thematic Analysis until no new information will be discovered from the analyzed data.
