- ObjectivesDue to strong transnational ties, the use of and demand for antibiotics among Turkish migrants in Germany may be influenced by cultural aspects of antibiotic use in Turkey. Research on the use of antibiotics among Turkish migrants in Germany, however, is scarce. The aim of this study was to find out how Turkish migrants in Germany use antibiotics, whether and how knowledge, underlying motives and attitudes influence demand and how Turkish migrants interact with medical professionals. Materials and methodsUsing a qualitative approach, behavioural patterns and logic of action of adult Turkish migrants were identified. We carried out semi-structured focus group interviews with adults of Turkish origin residing in Germany and expert interviews with family physicians and pharmacists. The interviews were analysed by means of content analysis. ResultsWhile younger migrants had a generally positive, but cautious attitude towards the use of antibiotics, older migrants often showed exaggerated, unrealistic expectations resulting from a lack of factual knowledge. Overall, participants adopted a passive role in the patient-provider relationship. This led to a perpetuation of significant knowledge gaps. ConclusionsOlder Turkish migrants who have less factual knowledge show exaggerated expectations concerning the effectiveness of antibiotics. In conjunction with a passive patient role, resulting in information needs not being satisfied, this can affect the patient-provider relationship. A more active communication by physicians and information materials sensitive to the needs of migrants can positively influence the interaction between migrant patients and medical professionals.

- Aim Recording the frequency of screenings for problematic alcohol consumption by professionals involved in the health care of respective patients. The German S3-guideline screening, diagnosis and treatment of alcohol-related disorders recommends the use of questionnaire-based screenings for all patients in all settings.Methods Cross-sectional survey on screening frequency among general practitioners, gynecologists, psychiatrists, child- and adolescent therapists, psychotherapists, social workers and midwives. Logistic regression was used to explore how healthcare professionals' attributes were associated with the implementation of screenings.Results With response rates of about 20%, health care professionals reported using screening instruments for an average of 6.9% of all patients during the previous four weeks. Most of the time, custom-made questions were used instead of the recommended instruments (AUDIT, AUDIT-C). Higher screening rates were reported for patients with newly diagnosed hypertension (21.2%), alcohol-related disorders (43.3%) and mental disorders (39.3%). Knowledge of the guideline was associated with implementation of screenings (OR=4.67; 95% KI 1.94-11.25, p<0.001).Conclusions Comprehensive screening for problematic alcohol use with questionnaire-based instruments in accordance with guidelines is far from being routinely implemented in the studied health care settings. Measures to increase the knowledge of the guidelines are necessary in order to increase the frequency of alcohol screening in health care.

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- Purpose: Technostress operationalised as ICT demands is measured by the ICT demands index in the Swedish Longitudinal Occupational Survey of Health (SLOSH). This index is mainly based on findings in a qualitative Swedish study, published in 2003.Methods: The index consists of six items, accompanied by five response options rated on a Likert scale. The index is introduced by: ‘New technology and flexible working conditions have changed the working life of many people. Technology can be a great help but can also lead to new kinds of stress. Estimate the extent to which you are stressed by…’. Then follows the items, such as ‘…too many calls and emails’, ‘…demands to give immediate answers to emails and telephone calls that require a lot of work’ and ‘…computers and other digital device that fails to work properly’.Results: ICT demands have been observed to be correlated with the demands- and effort dimension in the demand control- and the effort-reward imbalance models, respectively. ICT demands have also been associated with cognitive complaints and suboptimal self-rated health, in cross-sectional- and prospective analyses. However, the ICT demands index in SLOSH have also some limitations. The index does not have a resource dimesion (such as ‘technostress inhibitors’ or ‘ICT resources’) and can thus not be considered a complete measure of technostress. Additionally, the ICT demands index only reflect a smaller part of technostress and does not reflect aspects such as insecurity and uncertainty related to ICT, lack of digital literacy, and ineffective communication. The items might also be somewhat outdated since new ICT demands might have occurred since 2003, such as ICT demands related to new types of digital communication and use of RPA and AI.Conclusions: It is warranted to use updated measures of technostress that reflects both ICT demands and resources
