ABSTRACT
【Objective】 To explore the application and effectiveness of holistic nursing based on SWOT in platelet collection at blood stations. 【Methods】 SWOT analysis was used to analyze the causes of adverse reactions to blood donation in platelet donors, put forward countermeasures and take holistic nursing measures. Routine nursing was adopted from January to June 2021, and holistic nursing based on SWOT analysis was adopted from July to December 2021. The adverse reactions and the nursing quality before and after the implementation of holistic nursing in the two groups were compared, and the satisfaction of blood donors to the nurses was analyzed. 【Results】 After the implementation of holistic nursing based on SWOT analysis, the incidence of adverse reactions in blood donation was 2%(2/100) in the observation group, significantly lower than 11%(11/100) in the control group(P<0.05). Nursing satisfaction score of the observation group was (93.10±4.97 points), significantly higher than that of the control group (78.12±5.36 points)(P<0.05). 【Conclusion】 The implementation of holistic nursing based on SWOT analysis can significantly reduce the incidence of adverse reactions in platelet donors and improve the satisfaction of blood donors with the nursing work, thus significantly improving the quality of nursing in the department.
ABSTRACT
@#Introduction: Due to the increasing rate of drug prices and overall healthcare inflation, stakeholders from the pharmaceutical industry and non-governmental organisations (NGOs) are voicing their concerns about the possible reciprocal effects in the long run. Drug price controls (DPCs) regulation is crucial to ensure affordability and indirectly reduce congestion in public healthcare facilities. This study aims to identify the SWOT analysis of the DPCs in Malaysia and how it will impact the drug supply chain. Methods: The study adopted a subjective environmental scanning method and a SWOT analysis tool to examine the Malaysian pharmaceutical DPCs in the healthcare supply chain (HSC) ecosystem through both intrinsic and extrinsic perspectives. Results: The immediate effect of DPCs would be beneficial, especially to the patients and the government. Balancing the right amount of control and liberalization of the market is seen to be the biggest factor contributing to the policy’s effect on the drug supply chain. The main concern would be the long-term effect as mixed results are coming from a group of countries that had implemented a similar policy. Conclusion: Notwithstanding the qualitative methodology of the paper, the findings could provide a better understanding of the price of drugs in Malaysia’s HSC and serve as a foundation for future studies. This paper proposes a new way to diversify the DPCs economy by entering the HSC chain industry.

ABSTRACT
In the process of preventing and controlling the COVID-19, China′s system of community-level governance has achieved remarkable results. The authors focused on the public health committee of Beijing village(neighborhood) committee, using a semi-structured interview survey and literature search to collect relevant information and conducted a SWOT analysis of the public health committee. The strengths of the public health committee and the priorities and difficulties of its development were explored. The analysis results showed that the main strengths and opportunities of the public health committees were the promotion of its development, while the main problems and challenges were the lack of appropriate operational mechanisms, inadequate staffing, and the lack of retention of staff due to an inadequate remuneration system. In order to reduce the fragmentation of community public health governance, it is necessary not only to strengthen the centralized and unified leadership of the Communist Party of China, but also to promote positive interaction between social governance and residents′ self-governance, and to form a good pattern of joint construction, governance and sharing, as well as to improve the professionalism of public health committee staff and improve the salary allocation system, so as to ensure that the committee can play its role as a " bridge and link" .

ABSTRACT
Abstract INTRODUCTION: The fish farming program in Acre is as an alternative program to generate income and employment and has promising regional, national, and international markets. While the economic importance of fish farming in the Jurua Region is clear, one must address its contribution to increase malaria transmission. METHODS This was a qualitative study. The answers of the 16 key informants were organized into the following: (1) the healthcare services structure; (2) conscience, perception, and behaviors; and (3) socioeconomic and political issues. Each answer was classified as weaknesses, strengths, opportunities, and threats. RESULTS Regarding healthcare services, the frequency of household visits was reduced, and subjects presenting with malaria symptoms were required to visit a healthcare unit to be diagnosed and treated. Regarding individual's conscience, perception, and behavior, malaria was considered an insignificant disease, and a large proportion of the population were engaged in health practices that put them at risk in contacting with malaria vectors. Regarding political and economic issues, there were economic and infrastructure barriers for the development of a productive activity, and the insufficient credit or formalization of their properties prevented their access to governmental incentives and the financial market. CONCLUSIONS Support to fish farmers for low-cost inputs was not observed, and appropriate knowledge regarding the impact of the absence of maintenance and abandonment of fish tanks was insufficient. Moreover, insufficient healthcare services prevented not only the treatment of individuals with malaria but also the control of this disease.
