Challenges Faced by Immigrant Women in Accessing Cervical Cancer Screening Programmes in Developed Countries | Chapter 17 | New Frontiers in Medicine and Medical Research Vol. 14

The goal of this research is to find out what prevents immigrant women from participating in cervical cancer screening programmes in various industrialised countries. The research design for this study was a critical literature review. A total of 12 research articles were chosen for this study from a total of 417 publications found. The selected research articles were critically appraised using a critical appraisal skills programme instrument. Thematic analysis was used to examine the data. Immigrant women in industrialised nations are unable to access cervical cancer screening programmes due to psychological, demographic, and behavioural variables, according to the study. This study emphasises the need to raise cervical cancer screening knowledge among immigrant women in order to highlight the benefits and dispel myths about this public health intervention.

The Way Forward for Elective Surgery in Developing Countries: Day Case Surgery | Chapter 9 | New Frontiers in Medicine and Medical Research Vol. 14

The notion of day case surgery, which is widely used all over the world, is based on the well-established principle of ambulating surgical patients as soon as possible. The industrialised and underdeveloped worlds have different approaches to day surgery. In the industrialised world, freestanding and autonomous day surgery units have been constructed in recent decades, while in the developing world, day surgery is still primarily performed in hospitals. The goal of this study is to popularise the notion of day case surgery in underdeveloped nations, with the goal of lowering morbidity and mortality in elective surgery patients while still providing valuable bed services to emergency surgical patients. This study looks at how day surgery is practised in underdeveloped nations, as well as the scope, organisation, and standards that must be met. In poor nations, there is a growing need to develop the potential and relevance of day case surgery, which could result in significant economic g...
