Introduction: ShishuPoshan is a free Android application for mothers that provides scientific guidance on breastfeeding and baby care issues in the local language. We aimed to assess its effect and acceptability in primi mothers in a rural area of Maharashtra, India. Material and Methods: A before and after study was conducted in 50 primi mothers to study the acceptability and effect of ShishuPoshan mHealth application on knowledge, attitude and practice about breastfeeding in primi mothers in a rural tertiary care hospital. Results: Most participants (84%) downloaded the application, and 60% used it regularly. Major reason for not using the app was discomfort with mobile phone (7%) and not having anyone to read the content in the house (7%). The application was easy to use by 48%, and 10% did not find time to use it. Enablers were regional language, easy-to-understand content, simple interface, and frequently asked question (FAQ) format to give information. Barriers to adoption were that women preferred tips from family members, were uncomfortable with mobile phones, and did not have anyone to help them use them. Conclusion: It successfully delivered key messages like exclusive breastfeeding, colostrum use, proper maternal nutrition, and demand to feed, but it needs to further emphasise early initiation of feeding. Incorporation of feedback like adding videos, myth busters, and making app more interactive may further improve its effectiveness. mHealth interventions like ShishuPoshan are promising modalities for the dissemination of appropriate information.

“…The research on the social aspect of the healthcare industry occupies in recent years a special place in the work of the following scientists: Bryant L., Garnham B., Tedmanson D., & Diamandi S. (Bryant et al, 2020) reveal the features of social work and tele-mental health services for rural and remote communities; Calloway E. E., Parks C. A., Bowen D. J., & Yaroch A. L. (Calloway et al, 2019) cover environmental, social, and economic factors related to the intersection of food security, dietary quality, and obesity; Bhate K., Gangal P., Shanbhag S., Solanki M., Sable P., Shinde S. R., Kimbahune S. M. (Bhate et al, 2019) offer the use of a mobile-based application for mothers -ShishuPoshan application: ICT to solve issues of high social importance by scaled behavior change; and others. Earlier studies of the scientific world in this area concerned the following issues: the study of psychological, social and biological determinants of ill health within population groups that differed in socioeconomic status and in their propensity to develop chronic disease -Velupillai Y. N., Packard C. J., Batty G. D., Bezlyak V., Burns H., Cavanagh J., Tannahill C. (Velupillai et al, 2008); interpretation of social inequality in patients' physical and psychological state and participation in rehabilitation in Germany -Altenhoener T., Leppin A., Grande G., & Romppel M.

The paper emphasizes the importance of human health as the most valuable, most important resource at the individual and national level, affecting the country’s socio-economic development and competitiveness. It states that it is necessary for the actors ensuring the public health system to form a new concept for the functioning of the health system, taking into account the current state of public health, the functioning of medical institutions, and the resource support of the healthcare industry. The primary purpose is to conduct a bibliometric analysis of scientific publications dealing with the global behavioral and social dimension of the public health system. The systematization of literary achievements and approaches to solving this problem has been carried out, which indicates the need for proper attention and high-quality, conceptual, international research by world scientists on issues related to the state and level of public health, satisfaction with the healthcare system. The relevance of the analysis of research on the behavioral and social dimension of the public health system of the world implies that the further development of the healthcare industry necessitates research, intensive development, and dissemination of available scientific and methodological international experience in solving this issue of the public health system in different countries worldwide. The research consisted of four stages. A map of the interrelationships of key concepts with other scientific categories has been constructed; a content-contextual study of the constructed blocks of bibliometric analysis has been implemented; an inter-cluster analysis has been carried out. A map of the interrelationships of the key concepts under study with other scientific categories has been constructed, reflecting the dynamics in the form of a contextual-time block; the evolutionary-time prospects of the study have been determined. A geographically extensive map of the scientific bibliography of the categories under study has been constructed; the spatial component of the study has been analyzed. A territorially branched map of the spatio-temporal dimension of the category under the study in dynamics has been constructed. The methodological tools of the research are theoretical (grouping, abstraction, synthesis) and empirical methods (observation, description), research methods, services of the Scopus information platform, and VOSViewers tools.1.6.15. The study was conducted based on the publications indexed by the Scopus database for 2000-2020. The objects of research were the following scientific categories: “health care system, medical services, behavioral aspect, social aspect,” the countries United States, Germany, Norway, Greece, United Kingdom, Australia, Canada, India, Netherlands, China, Brazil, Switzerland, Denmark, Belgium, Iran, Japan, Italy, Spain, because these two groups of objects allowed to conduct two-directional analysis of the problem under study. The results of the bibliometric analysis presented in the paper showed that the aspect of the behavioral and social dimension of the public health system was relatively young and insufficiently developed; the attention of the scientific community for a long time on this issue was mainly concentrated in the United States and the United Kingdom. China, Iran, and Japan were less involved in this process at an earlier time interval, but this research became relevant for them in recent years. The study results can be used to identify the most potential priority areas for forming the policy and strategy of the state health system, based on determining the main significant, modern, relevant characteristics of the healthcare industry.
