Factors Associated With Covid-19 Vaccine Hesitancy In South Central Appalachia, Florence M. Weierbach, Rebecca Adkins Fletcher, Ingrid E. Luffman, Cynthia Meyer, Janet M. Keener, Manik Ahuja, Hadii M. Mamudu
Journal of Appalachian Health
Introduction: The newly emergent COVID-19 virus reached pandemic levels in March 2020. By the middle of August 2020, there were over 1 million deaths attributed to COVID-19 in the U.S., with those in rural areas outpacing urban counterparts. Prior to emergency approval of the Pfizer, Moderna and Johnson & Johnson vaccine formulations, mitigation efforts addressing individual behavior were challenging. However, even with the entrance of these three new vaccines, herd immunity was not achieved in rural areas, as vaccine uptake remained low there. Although there has since been an abundance of COVID-19-related research addressing health literacy, vaccine hesitancy and overall …

Reducing Food Scarcity: The Benefits Of Urban Farming, S.A. Claudell, Emilio Mejia
Journal of Nonprofit Innovation
Urban farming can enhance the lives of communities and help reduce food scarcity. This paper presents a conceptual prototype of an efficient urban farming community that can be scaled for a single apartment building or an entire community across all global geoeconomics regions, including densely populated cities and rural, developing towns and communities. When deployed in coordination with smart crop choices, local farm support, and efficient transportation then the result isn’t just sustainability, but also increasing fresh produce accessibility, optimizing nutritional value, eliminating the use of ‘forever chemicals’, reducing transportation costs, and fostering global environmental benefits.

Why We Should Be Counting In The Cardiac Catheter Lab: A Discussion Paper, Stephanie Biggs, Paula Foran
Why We Should Be Counting In The Cardiac Catheter Lab: A Discussion Paper, Stephanie Biggs, Paula Foran
Journal of Perioperative Nursing
The cardiac catheter laboratory, which in many health care facilities falls under the umbrella of perioperative services, generally sits geographically outside the traditional operating suite. Perhaps due in part to this geographical distance, standards that are routinely applied in the operating suite may not be applied in the cardiac catheter laboratory. One such standard is the management of accountable items such as swabs, surgical instruments, sharps and sheaths. Well-known standards and guidelines for managing accountable items recommend mandatory counting and documentation of all accountable items in environments where a surgical item may be left behind; yet, despite this, counting is …
