“…The delivery of these activities has been proven beneficial not only to provide the community with accurate information on disease prevention, but to improve their attitude concerning dog vaccination and engagement with rabies surveillance [13,45,46]. A similar regression analysis also showed that education was positively associated with the owner's intention to vaccinate their dog [44]. For similar reasons, it is logical that dogs from areas with higher education levels show increased odds of rabies vaccination.…”

“…It is necessary for this unfounded belief to be addressed via educational campaigns, since many young animals still remain at risk for months, even while the vaccine has been proven to be both safe and effective in puppies [47]. The deterrent effect of distance on attendance to healthcare facilities has been previously reported [48,49], in addition to the specific effect of distance on attendance to static vaccination clinics [12,44]. However, in this study, the effect of distance on absolute coverage was found to be insignificant.…”

“…The use of regression modelling to determine and estimate the influence of dog and geospatial factors on different aspects of vaccination campaigns is a novel approach able to produce insights on their performance [12,44]. The model studying factors associated with adequate coverage (OTM) only included two predictors: mean education level and proportion of young dogs.…”

Rabies is a devastating zoonotic disease causing nearly 60,000 deaths globally each year. The disease causes Malawi an economic loss of 13 million USD and kills almost 500 people annually. Domestic dogs are the main reservoir for rabies and vaccinating over 70% of the dog population is the most efficient method to reduce its incidence in both humans and canines. However, achieving such coverages is often difficult and depend on many geospatial factors. Rural and pastoral regions are considered difficult to vaccinate efficiently due to low dog densities, and reports of campaigns spanning large areas containing vastly different communities are lacking. This study describes a mass canine vaccination campaign covering rural and urban regions in southern Malawi. The campaign achieved an average vaccination coverage of 83.4% across 3 districts, and vaccinated over 89,000 dogs through a combined static point and door-to-door effort. A dog population of 107,574 dogs was estimated (dog:human ratio of 1:23). The canine population was found to be almost completely owned (99.2%) and mostly kept for security purposes (82.7%). The dogs were mainly adults, males, and not neutered. Regression analysis identified education level and proportion of young dogs as the only factors influencing (positively and negatively, respectively) whether vaccination coverage over 70% was achieved in a region, independently of variables such as population density or poverty. A second regression analysis was performed predicting absolute vaccination coverage. While education level and the proportion of confined dogs were associated with positive vaccination coverage, higher proportions of young animals and female dogs were associated with a decrease in coverage. This study confirms the feasibility of homogeneously vaccinating over 70% of the dogs in a large area including rural and urban communities. These findings can inform the logistics of future campaigns and might be used as a template to facilitate high-number, high-coverage vaccination campaigns to other regions in sub-Saharan Africa.

“…However, it was found to be inversely related to perceived barriers such as the distance of the owners' residence from vaccination centre and ease of dog transportation. 8 WHO mentions that vaccinating 70% of the dog population is sufficient to eliminate canine rabies. 9 PEP prevents virus entry into the central nervous system, which results in imminent death.…”

Background: Rabies is one of the highly fatal diseases, with nearly fifty nine thousand deaths annually globally and almost one third of these are in India. Higher rates of dog bites are common in our country, due to large stray dog population. Despite a preventable disease, unhealthy wound practices are still prevailing in the community due to lot of myths related to the disease. The objectives of the study were to assess the magnitude of unhealthy wound practices and to assess the knowledge regarding health seeking behaviour following animal bite. Methods: The present study was a cross sectional study conducted at SDMC Polyclinic, Mehrauli, Delhi from January to December 2015. A total of 160 cases of animal bite that attended OPD and consented were analysed for knowledge, practices and health seeking behaviour towards animal bite. Results: Out of total 160 respondents almost all were bitten by dogs of which 2/3 rd was stray dogs and most common site of bite was lower limb. 55% of the subjects did not wash or clean the wounds after bite. 27% of subjects applied chilli powder or its paste with oil and 2.5% used oil and turmeric paste and 1.9% oil on the wound. Only 41.9% of the subjects believed that vaccination is the treatment of the choice following animal bite. Conclusions: Intensive health education through mass media and mid media can be used to create awareness about the disease transmission and preventive measures like wound management and post-exposure prophylaxis. Also, pet vaccination should be made mandatory for all those who keep pets.

The health care industry is a capital-intensive, labor-intensive, and full information, with performance information that requires high concentration and attention from the health manager. Balanced Scorecard (BSC) is an importance technological innovation as a performance measurement system that strategically and allow manager translate organizational strategies into the mission and performance indicators with reality acceptance and its own variation response among users. The aim of this study is to determine the factor of affecting hospital managers' behavior intention in implementing the balanced scorecard. This research type was quantitative with cross sectional design. The sampling technique using purposive sampling. The samples were 60 respondents. The data collected by questionnaires analyzed with multiple linear regression test. The quantitative analysis' results of 60 samples showed that a simultaneous influence of easy perceive of using and usefulness perceive on behavioral intention in implementing BSC (Sig = 0,000 < 0,05) and easy perceive of using have influence on perceive of usefulness (Sig = 0,000 < 0,05). While partially easy perceive of using and usefulness perceive was affected toward behavioral intention is about (Sig = 0,422 > 0,05) and (Sig = 0,001 < 0,05), on the other side, the easy perceive of using have influence toward usefulness perceive (Sig = 0,000 < 0,05). The conclution was the hospital manajer's perception of the easy of use of BSC and the use of the manajer together have a significant impact on the manajer's behavioral intention to implement the BSC. The hospital manajer's perception of easy of use of the BSC had no significant effect on the intention to implement the BSC. ABSTRAKIndustri pelayanan kesehatan adalah industri padat modal, padat karya, dan padat informasi, dimana konsentrasi dan perhatian manajer sangat dibutuhkan di dalamnya. Balanced Scorecard (BSC) adalah inovasi teknologi penting sebagai sistem pengukuran kinerja strategis yang memungkinkan manajer menerjemahkan strategi organisasi ke dalam misi dan indikator kinerja dengan realita respon (tanggapan) yang cukup bervariasi diantara penggunanya. Tujuan dari penelitian ini adalah menentukan faktor yang mempengaruhi niat perilaku manajer rumah sakit dalam menerapkan balanced scorecard. Jenis penelitian ini adalah kuantitatif dengan desain cross sectional. Pengambilan sampel menggunakan teknik purposive sampling. Jumlah sampel yang digunakan sebanyak 60 orang. Data dikumpulkan menggunakan kuesioner dan dianalisis menggunakan uji regresi linier berganda. Hasil analisis kuantitatif dari 60 sampel menunjukkan pengaruh simultan dari persepsi mudah menggunakan dan persepsi kemanfaatan terhadap niat perilaku menerapkan BSC (Sig = 0,000 < 0,05) dan persepsi mudah menggunakan berpengaruh terhadap persepsi kemanfaatan (Sig = 0,000 < 0,05). Sementara secara parsial persepsi mudah menggunakan dan persepsi kemanfaatan berpengaruh terhadap niat perilaku sebesar masing-masing (Sig = 0,422 > 0,05) dan (Sig = 0,001 < 0,05), di sisi l...
