“…Several researchers stress that using QR codes for curtailing the pandemic must be highly selective and not universal. Thong et al [ 77 ] and Cook et al [ 78 ] suppose that a QR code-based system may be used for telemedicine services only. Khan et al [ 79 ] argues that it may be functional only for needs of distant work to ensure uninterrupted processes.…”

The total vaccination rate remains relatively low in Russia as of March 2022 (around 55%, with around 20% in some regions). In the paper, we study the reasons for it. We communicate the results of our survey aimed at detecting reasons for the relatively low anti-SARS-CoV-2 vaccination rate in Russia (47.1% as of mid-January 2022) and suggest potential measures to increase the level of confidence in the Russian vaccination campaign. A total of 14,310 users exhibited interest to participate in the research (16.84% of the total number of invitations sent in the Russian social network VKontakte). After the sample set repair, only 5822 (40.68% of those who agreed to participate) responses were suitable for the research, and they composed the final set. The age range of the respondents was 16–51 years old (y.o.) with a mean of 29.1 ± 10.6 y.o. The proportion of the female gender in responses was 44.23%. A total of 2454 persons (42.15%) expressed their hesitant, cautious, or negative attitude towards vaccine uptake. Of the 2454 persons with cautious attitude towards vaccination, only 928 (37.82%) were concerned about the quality of the Russian vaccines. A total of 1323 individuals (53.91%) supported one or more conspiracy beliefs. A total of 5064 (86.98% of the whole set) showed cautious or negative attitude towards the planned introduction of a nationwide system of vaccination certification/verification based on QR codes. The main social factors that hinder the Russian vaccination campaign are: vexation over the lack of desire of officials to receive feedback from the general population regarding vaccination, wide support for conspiracy beliefs, and controversy over the QR code-based digital system. To elevate the vaccination rate in Russia, the following steps may be taken: social encouragement of those who support vaccination, increase in transparency of the vaccination campaign, acceptance of both digital and paper vaccination certificates, increase in participation of society in vaccination-related discussions, public disclosure of vaccine composition, and avoidance of excessive digitalization of data in the vaccination campaign.

“…Apart from these, patients' disproportionately low training levels, socioeconomic status, low health literacy, and the complexity of their pathology limit the utility of printed sources. QR codes represent a technological innovation that nurses can use in training and with which patients will be able to access information at any time without time and space constraints and repeat information as many times as they want 24,37,38 . In this way, the adaptation of individuals with TKA to their new conditions will improve, and individuals will be able to cope effectively and have fewer problems.…”

“…All these mentioned features ensure that QR code technology can be used in patient education. 24 The QR code is a two-dimensional barcode format with square black dots arranged in a square grid on a white background. It can be read by scanners that can be downloaded to mobile phones for free, and access to a Web site, e-mail, or text message is easily possible.…”

Knee arthroplasty surgery, which is increasingly performed due to increased life expectancy, has positive outcomes, although it can also cause serious health problems following surgery. This study was conducted to evaluate the impact of patient-related education via a QR code on total knee arthroplasty problems and emergency department referral rates. Participants were randomly assigned to intervention (n = 51) and control (n = 51) groups. The intervention group received QR code–supported training. The outcomes were assessed at baseline (preoperative), discharge, and postoperative sixth week. In the intervention group, significantly fewer problems related to total knee arthroplasty occurred at discharge and in week 6, and a higher level of functionality was noted (P < .05). In week 6, the rate of emergency department admissions was lower, and mean scores for satisfaction with patient training were higher in the intervention group (P < .05). In conclusion, QR code–supported patient training was effective in reducing the physiological and psychosocial problems related to total knee arthroplasty and the emergency department referral rates. In addition, it provided functional improvement and increased satisfaction with patient training.

Background We explore an innovative approach by transforming patient information leaflet (PILs) into Quick Response (QR) code linked patient information videos (PIVs) in ophthalmology. Our objectives are to assess the subjective utility of a PIV on glaucoma and analyse the use of QR codes as a delivery method. Methods A prospective study was conducted in Ninewells Hospital, NHS Tayside. A glaucoma PIV was created and linked to a QR code provided to 130 glaucoma patients. Pre- and post-video questionnaires evaluated the patients’ perception of using a QR code and subjective improvement in their understanding of glaucoma. Results Out of 102 responses collected, 55% of patients had no prior experience with QR codes. However, 81% of patients were able to watch the PIV. The average view duration of the video was 3:26, with 82.5% view retention. Statistically significant improvement in glaucoma knowledge was observed across all six areas questioned (p < 0.001) using a 5-point Likert scale. Overall, 70% of patients preferred PIVs over PILs, and 77% acknowledged that PIVs could be a sustainable alternative. Conclusion QR codes for delivering PIVs were well-received, with patients finding them easy to use. Our PIV on glaucoma effectively enhanced patients’ understanding of the condition.
