We aimed to explore how occupational, psychosocial and partnership-related factors were associated with their self-reported mental well-being during the first COVID-19 wave. Methods: Five hundred fifty participants of the BaBi cohort study (est. 2013, Bielefeld, North-Rhine Westphalia, Germany) were invited to complete an online survey and to take part in email interviews (April–May 2020). With survey data, we assessed self-reported mental well-being through validated instruments (eight-item Patient Health Questionnaire; short version of the Symptom Checklist) and ran linear regression models for occupational, psychosocial and partnership-related factors. We performed content analysis on the interviews’ data to further understand the determinants of the women’s mental well-being. Results: One hundred twenty-four women participated in the survey; of which 17 also participated in the interviews. A perceived lack of support in childcare was associated with higher levels of depressive symptoms, while having a higher internal locus of control was associated with lower levels. Psychological distress was higher in those reporting lack of emotional or childcare support. Interviews confirmed the interplay of potential stressors and highlighted the difficulties to reconcile different expectations of motherhood. Discussion: Occupational, psychosocial and partner-related factors can act (to varying degree) both as resources and stressors to the self-reported mental well-being of mothers of young children. These impacts took different forms and created opportunities or challenges, depending on specific life circumstances, such as work or family situations, relationships and own psychosocial resources. Although not representative, our study contributes to building the COVID-19 evidence base, delineating the mental health toll of the pandemic on mothers of young children and the factors that contribute to it.

Deutscher Kongress für Versorgungsforschung : 05.10.-07.10.2022, Potsdam N2 - Hintergrund und Stand (inter)nationaler Forschung: Die Forderung nach einer selbstbestimmten Geburt ist in Deutschland und weltweit in den fachlichen und öffentlichen Fokus gerückt. Allerdings liegen bisher wenige Forschungsergebnisse zur Selbstbestimmung Gebärender und ihrer förderlichen und begrenzenden Bedingungen vor. Diese Erkenntnisse sind jedoch essentiell, um Selbstbestimmung gezielt unterstützen und ihre Verletzung vermeiden zu können. Fragestellung und Zielsetzung: Die Studie untersucht und vergleicht die Erfahrungen und Perspektiven von Hebammen in Bezug auf förderliche und begrenzende Faktoren einer selbstbestimmten Geburt in Krankenhäusern, Geburtshäusern und bei Hausgeburten in Deutschland. Methode: Es wurde eine qualitative Fallstudie auf der Basis von zehn problemzentrierten Einzelinterviews mit Hebammen durchgeführt. Eingeschlossen wurden Hebammen mit laufender oder abgeschlossener Ausbildung, deren letzte begleitete Geburt nicht länger als sechs Monate zurücklag. Die Sampling-Strategie erlaubte die Berücksichtigung unterschiedlicher Geburtshilfe-Settings und Regionen in Deutschland. Alle Interviews wurden aufgezeichnet, transkribiert, anonymisiert und mittels der Thematischen Analyse ausgewertet. Ein positives Ethik-Votum liegt vor. Ergebnisse: Die Ergebnisse legen acht zusammenhängende Kategorien nahe, die jeweils fördernde und begrenzende Faktoren implizieren: 1. Strukturelle/rechtliche Bedingungen auf Meso-/Makroebene; 2. Wahrnehmung von Geburt (z.B. als medizinischer/natürlicher Vorgang, notwendige Kompetenz und Kontrolle); 3. Vertrauen/Atmosphäre; 4. Kennenlernen/ Beziehungsaufbau mit Gebärenden; 5. Sozioökonomische Position (SEP) der Gebärenden; 6. Information der Gebärenden; 7. Entscheidungs- und Artikulationsfähigkeit der Gebärenden und 8. Verhalten der Begleitpersonen. Zudem wurden Strategien der Hebammen zur Erweiterung des Handlungsspielraums identifiziert. Mehrere Faktoren unterscheiden sich abhängig vom Geburtssetting. Diskussion: Die Möglichkeiten für eine selbstbestimmte Geburt können sich je nach Setting (z.B. institutionelle Routinen), zwischenmenschlichen Beziehungen (z.B. Vertrauen) und individuellen Faktoren (z.B. SEP) unterscheiden. Folglich können politische, institutionelle und individuelle Strategien eine selbstbestimmte Geburt – und damit eine personenzentrierte, situativ angemessene Versorgung – unter Berücksichtigung der oben genannten Faktoren unterstützen. Praktische Implikationen: Die Ergebnisse liefern konkrete Anhaltspunkte für Maßnahmen zur Unterstützung einer selbstbestimmten Geburt in verschiedenen Geburtssettings. Empfohlen werden u. a. die Verbesserung von Informationsprozessen vor und während der Geburt, die Verbesserung des Zugangs zu Versorgungsangeboten, der Abbau finanzieller Hürden in der Inanspruchnahme, die Förderung von Beziehungsaufbau und eine Stärkung der hebammengeleiteten Geburt. Appell für die Praxis (Wissenschaft und/oder Versorgung) in einem Satz: Akteur*innen und Entscheidungsträger*innen der Geburtshilfe können die Selbstbestimmung Gebärender durch gezielte individuelle, institutionelle und politische Maßnahmen fördern.

Chronic stress and perturbations of stress-responsive physiological systems, including the hypothalamus-pituitary-adrenal (HPA)-axis, are believed to in part mediate this relationship. Cortisol plays an important role in the association between maternal stress during pregnancy and many pregnancy-, birth- and offspring-related outcomes. We therefore examined whether maternal migrant background is associated with diurnal cortisol variation during pregnancy. Methods 109 pregnant women (incl. n = 32 Turkish origin women) that participated in a multi-site prospective cohort study in Germany collected saliva samples across the day on two consecutive days around 24 and 32 weeks gestation. Hierarchical linear models were applied to quantify associations between migrant background and diurnal cortisol variation across pregnancy. Results Women of Turkish origin exhibited a significantly lower cortisol awakening response (CAR) and a flatter diurnal cortisol slope (DCS) compared to non-migrant women after adjusting for household income. These relationships between migrant status and diurnal cortisol variation were mainly driven by 2nd generation migrants. Discussion A potential HPA axis dysregulation of Turkish-origin pregnant women may contribute to the intergenerational transmission of health disadvantages in this group.

Deutscher Kongress für Versorgungsforschung (DKVF) : 05.10.-07.10.2022, Potsdam N2 - Background: Nurses’ work-related strain and psychological burden increased during the Covid-19 pandemic, resulting in high prevalences of mental health problems among nurses worldwide. Nurses in long-term care facilities seem to be particularly prone to overall heightened burden and poor mental health. Research question: We investigated which work-related psychosocial burdens and potential positive aspects nurses working in nursing homes experience during the Covid-19 pandemic. Method: We conducted a mixed-methods study. Eligible for participation were nurses and nursing assistants working in nursing homes within the state of Brandenburg, Germany. Between August and October 2020, we distributed an anonymous survey containing the third German version of the Copenhagen Psychosocial Questionnaire (COPSOQ III). Using Welch’s t-tests, we compared the COPSOQ results of our sample against a pre-pandemic reference group of geriatric nurses, drawn from the German COPSOQ databank and kindly shared by the Freiburg Research Centre for Occupational Science. In June 2021, we also conducted semi-structured interviews with geriatric nurses to reach a deeper understanding of their experiences on work-related changes and burdens during the first phases of the pandemic. Data were analysed using thematic coding (Braun and Clarke). Results: Our survey sample (n=177) differed significantly from the reference group in 14 out of 31 COPSOQ scales. Amongst others, our sample scored significantly worse regarding the scales ‘support at work’, ‘recognition’, ‘quantitative demands’, ‘hiding emotions’, ‘role conflicts’, ‘intention to leave profession’, ‘burnout’ and ‘inability to relax’. The interviews (n=17) revealed five main themes related to nurses’ psychosocial stress: ‘overall working conditions under the hygiene measures’, ‘concern for isolated residents’, ‘management of relatives’, ‘inability to provide terminal care‘, ‘tensions between being infected and infecting others’ and ‘technicisation of care’. ‘Enhanced community cohesion’ and ‘meaning of work’ were identified as positive effects of the pandemic. Discussion: Results indicate that nurses in nursing homes experience enhanced psychosocial and work-related strain. The comparisons with the pre-pandemic reference group suggest that the situation further aggravated during the pandemic. Nurses exhibited high psychosocial burden, e.g., due to strongly impeded possibilities to fulfill the emotional and social dimensions of care and the constant fear of infection or transmission. Deteriorated working conditions (e.g., higher workload through staff shortages and additional tasks) further exacerbated these burdens. Few positive aspects of the pandemic may be important sources of resilience. Practical implications: The reduction of nurses’ strain through psychosocial support and the improvement of working conditions is crucial for the protection of nurses’ health. Appeal for practice in one sentence: Political players as well as care facilities should take measures to improve nurses’ situation in order to maintain a healthy workforce and high-quality care.

JAHRESTAGUNG DER DGEpi ABSTRACT BOOK N2 - Einleitung Die gesundheitliche Entwicklung von Kindern wird neben der sozioökonomischen Position (SEP) der Familie auch von Merkmalen der Lebensumgebung geprägt. Ruralität oder regionale sozioökonomische Deprivation werden als mögliche unabhängige Einflussgrößen postuliert, ohne dass bisher ausreichende empirische Ergebnisse vorliegen. In dieser Studie wurde untersucht, ob regionale sozioökonomische Deprivation und Ruralität unabhängig von familiärer SEP mit der Entwicklung von Kindern assoziiert sind. Methoden Daten des Sozialpädiatrischen Entwicklungsscreenings im Rahmen der Einschulungsuntersuchungen aus dem Jahr 2018/2019 in Brandenburg (n=22.801 Kinder) wurden verknüpft mit Daten zur regionalen Bevölkerungsdichte (Ruralität) sowie mit dem German Index of Socioeconomic Deprivation (regionale Deprivation). Mittels gemischter Modelle wurde der Zusammenhang einer Allgemeinen Entwicklungsverzögerung (AEV) mit Ruralität und mit regionaler Deprivation analysiert (OR=Odds Ratio (95% Konfidenzintervall)), wobei für familiäre SEP (hoch, mittel, niedrig) adjustiert und nach Geschlecht (M=Mädchen, J=Jungen) stratifiziert wurde. Ergebnisse Kinder mit hoher familiärer SEP zeigten geringere Chancen einer AEV als Kinder mit mittlerer familiärer SEP (ORM=4,26(3,14-5,79); ORJ=3,46(2,83-4,22)) und niedriger familiärer SEP (ORM=16,58(11,90-23,09); ORJ=12,79(10,13-16,16)). Größere regionale Deprivation war unabhängig von familiärer SEP und Ruralität mit AEV assoziiert (ORM=1,35(1,13-1,62); ORJ=1,20(1,05-1,39)). Neben familiärer SEP und regionaler Deprivation zeigte Ruralität keine Assoziation mit AEV. Schlussfolgerung Neben der familiären SEP wirkt sich die regionale sozioökonomische Deprivation auf Entwicklungsverzögerungen von Kindern aus. Sozialepidemiologie und Public Health sollten daher neben den individuellen sozioökonomischen Voraussetzungen auch die regionalen sozioökonomischen Bedingungen als Determinante der gesundheitlichen Entwicklung über den Lebenslauf berücksichtigen.

However, research on SDC is limited. This study analyzes and compares midwives’ experiences and perspectives on factors that promote or limit SDC in hospitals, birthing centers and during home births in Germany. We argue that these insights are essential in order to foster self-determination and to avoid its violation. Methods A qualitative case study was conducted based on semi-structured face-to-face interviews with midwives working in hospitals, birthing centers, and offering home births in Germany. In total, nine interviews were conducted in 2021 and have been audiotaped, transcribed, anonymized and analyzed by use of Thematic Analysis. Results The results indicate eight inter-related categories, each of which imply promoting and limiting factors: 1) Structural/ legal conditions; 2) Perception of birth (e. g. as natural or medical process; required competence and control); 3) Trust and atmosphere; 4) Getting acquainted/relationship building; 5) Birthing person’s socioeconomic position; 6) Birthing person’s preparation/ education; 7) Birthing person’s capability of decision making and expression; and 8) Behavior of accompanying persons. Moreover, we identified midwives’ strategies to extend possibilities of choice. Several factors clearly differ depending on the birth setting. Conclusions The opportunities for SDC seem to differ according to the setting (e.g. institutional routines), inter-personal relations (e.g. getting acquainted, trust), and individual factors (e.g. socioeconomic position, capabilities). Hence, political, institutional and individual strategies may support SDC in consideration of the above factors. Measures may, among others, include the improvement of information processes, the reduction of economic barriers, relationship building before and during birth as well as respective structural adjustments.

A1 - Sundmacher, Leonie T1 - The role of regional health policy for socioeconomic inequality in health services utilization T2 - European Journal of Public Health N2 - Background “J1” is a preventative routine examination in Germany recommended for adolescents at the age of 12-14 years. In contrast to the well-established U1-U9 examinations for younger children, with participation rates above 90%, the attendance of the J1 examination is approximately only 40%. The most frequent reason for not attending J1 is the unawareness of this examination. “Ticket to J1” is an intervention including an information leaflet introduced in Bavaria in 2017 to inform adolescents about J1. The aims of the present analysis are to investigate (1) if the regional policy was effective in increasing the attendance in J1, (2) if the effects vary by family socioeconomic status (SES), and (3) which meso-level characteristics of the healthcare system correlate with attendance rates in J1. Methods We used anonymised data of a large statutory health insurance in Germany for the timeframe of 2016-2018. To investigate the effect of the policy, a difference-in-differences design at the individual level was used. Assuming a parallel trend at the level of federal states, the likelihood of attendance in J1 of 13- and 14-year-olds was compared between Bavaria and other federal German states before and after policy introduction. All analyses were additionally stratified by SES. Results The introduction of “Ticket to J1” increased participation in J1 by 1% after controlling for all confounders. Furthermore, the effect was stronger for children from families with lower SES (an increase of 5%). Density of pediatricians was positively significantly correlated with participation in J1. Discussion Regional health policy intervention had a significant positive impact on attendance of J1 and appears to have the potential to reduce socioeconomic inequalities in healthcare utilization. Informing adolescents about J1 seems to increase the attendance, in particular for children from families with lower SES.

Few studies have examined the role of the family in explaining adolescents’ health inequalities. The study aimed to explore whether the association between socioeconomic position and self-rated health (SRH) was mediated by familial determinants. Methods Using data from wave 2 of the KiGGS study (1,838 female and 1,718 male 11- to 17-year-olds), linear regression analyses were conducted to decompose the total effects of parents’ education, occupation, income, socioeconomic position index, and adolescents’ subjective social status on SRH into direct effects and indirect effects through familial determinants (family cohesion, parenting styles, parental well-being, stress, obesity, smoking and sporting activity). Results A significant total effect of all socioeconomic position indicators on SRH was found, except for income in male adolescents. In female adolescents, more than 70% of the total effects of each socioeconomic position indicator were explained by familial mediators, whereas no significant direct effects remained. The most important mediator was parental well-being, followed by family cohesion, parental smoking and sporting activity. In male adolescents, the associations of parental education, the socioeconomic position index and subjective social status with SRH were also mediated by familial determinants (family cohesion, parental smoking and obesity). However, a significant direct effect of subjective social status remained. Conclusions The family appears to play an important role in explaining health inequalities, particularly in female adolescents. Reducing health inequalities in adolescence requires policy interventions, community-based strategies, as well as programs to improve parenting and family functioning.

T2 - European Journal of Public Health N2 - Background Children's overweight is associated with many factors, including their living situation, in particular their family's socioeconomic position (SEP) and family characteristics. Research on the extent to which family characteristics account for a social gradient in overweight in early life is scarce. This study evaluated whether family characteristics explain SEP differences in the risk of overweight in early childhood. Methods The study used baseline data of 3-6 year-old children (n = 1,116) from the intervention ‘Ene mene fit’ conducted at kindergartens in Baden-Württemberg, Germany. Data included overweight (body mass index > 90 percentile) and parents’ reports on their education and family characteristics associated with overweight (child consumes: sweets in front of TV, soft drinks; family joined time: outdoor, breakfast, sports; cooking; child sets table; role model). Model-based single mediation analyses decomposed the total effect of highest parental education on overweight into direct (unmediated) and indirect (mediated) effects (OR, 95% CI). Results Girls and boys with low parental education had higher odds for overweight than children with high/medium education. Among boys, low education influenced the risk of overweight via indirect effects of i. ‘sweets consumption in front of TV’ (OR = 1.31, 1.05-1.59) and ii. ‘no joined sports’ (OR = 1.14, 1.00-1.44). The direct effect of low education only remained significant when ‘no joined sports’ was considered (OR = 2.19, 1.11-5.19). Among girls, family characteristics measured here did not explain SEP differences in overweight. Conclusions The family characteristics ‘sweets consumption in front of TV’ and ‘no joined sports’ contribute to inequalities in overweight among boys, but not among girls. Therefore, more gender-sensitive research is needed to identify family risk and protective characteristics that explain health inequalities among both boys and girls.

Stress is believed to be a relevant pathway by which migration may be associated with these risks. In this study, we tested associations of Turkish origin with stress biology and psychological stress experiences during pregnancy. Methods 140 pregnant women (33 of Turkish/26 of other origin) participated in a prospective cohort study that was carried out in Bielefeld and Berlin (Spallek et al., 2020). Inflammatory markers CRP and IL-6 from venous blood samples and diurnal cortisol profiles from salivary cortisol samples were derived and participants completed the Perceived Stress Scale (PSS) and Center for Epidemiologic Studies Depression Scale (CESD) at two study visits during pregnancy (T1: 20-25 weeks of gestation, T2: 30-35 weeks of gestation). Multilevel models were conducted to account for the nested data structure due to repeated measurements. Results Compared to non-migrant women, women of Turkish origin had significantly higher inflammatory levels (b = 0.28, SE = 0.14, p=.052) (Spallek et al., 2021), a blunted cortisol awakening response (b=-0.21, CI=-0.38–0.03, p<.05), a flatter diurnal cortisol slope (b = 0.02, CI = 0.00-0.04, p<.05), and higher PSS (b = 0.46, SE = 0.13, p< .001) and CESD scores (b = 0.29, SE = 0.08, p<.001) during pregnancy after adjusting for socioeconomic factors. Conclusions The results of our study suggest higher stress at the biological and psychological level in pregnant women of Turkish origin. Stress is a risk factor for pregnancy complications and poor birth and child developmental outcomes. To reduce such unequally distributed risks, interventions for stress reduction are needed that are tailored to women of Turkish origin.

Analyses of German school entry examination T2 - European Journal of Public Health N2 - Background Children's health and development are strongly linked to their living situation, including their family's socioeconomic position (SEP) and living region. However, research on the impact of the living region on children's development beyond family SEP is scarce. This study evaluated whether rurality and regional socioeconomic deprivation (DEP) are associated with children's development independently of family SEP. Methods The study used population-based data of 5-6.5 years old children (n = 22,801) from mandatory school entry examinations (SEE) in the German federal state of Brandenburg, which were examined in 2018/2019. The SEE data have been linked with data on i. rurality that was defined by an inverted population density and ii. regional DEP that were provided by the German Index of Socioeconomic Deprivation. By binary multilevel models, the predictive values of rurality and regional DEP for global developmental delay (GDD) were evaluated, while adjusting for family SEP. Results Children with high family SEP showed reduced odds for GDD compared to medium family SEP (female: OR = 4.26, CI95=3.14-5.79, male: OR = 3.46, CI95=2.83-4.22) and low family SEP (female: OR = 16.58, CI95=11.90-23.09, male: OR = 12.79, CI95=10.13-16.16). Regional DEP additionally predicted GDD, with higher odds for children from more deprived regions (female: OR = 1.35, CI95=1.13-1.62, male: OR = 1.20, CI95=1.05-1.39). Rurality did not predict GDD beyond family SEP and regional DEP. Conclusions In addition to family SEP, the regional DEP has an effect on children's developmental delay. Hence, Public Health should take into account regional socioeconomic conditions as determinant of health over the life course in addition to family SEP.

T2 - Brain, Behavior, and Immunity N2 - Methods: 140 pregnant women participated in a multi-site prospective cohort study in, Germany with two study visits during pregnancy (T1: 24.44 ± 2.34, T2: 32.92 ± 1.72 weeks of gestation). Maternal BMI was derived from body length and current weight and was residualized for gestational week at assessment. Pro-inflammatory markers CRP and IL-6 were analyzed from venous blood samples and combined into a repeatedly measured composite inflammation score. Results: In a path model, T1-BMI significantly predicted T2-inflammation (b=0.53, SE=0.02, p <.001), and T1-inflammation predicted T2-BMI (b=0.46, SE=0.42, p <.001), suggesting a bidirectional relationship between BMI and inflammation. However, further adjustment for pre-pregnancy BMI diminished the association between T1-inflammation and T2-BMI (b=0.004, SE=0.22, p =.922), whereas the relationship between T1-BMI and T2-inflammation remained significant (b=0.20, SE=0.01, p =.004). Thus, adjusting for pre-pregnancy BMI underlined a unidirectional relationship. Conclusions: Based on these results, reducing overweight may be a relevant target for interventions to reduce inflammation and the risk of subsequent adverse outcomes.

T1 - Self-rated health of university students in Germany-The importance of material, psychosocial, and behavioral factors and the parental socio-economic status T2 - Frontiers in Public Health N2 - Health inequalities start early in life. The time of young adulthood, between late teens and early twenties, is especially interesting in this regard. This time of emerging adulthood, the transition from being a child to becoming an adult, is characterised by the detachment from parents and establishing of an own independent life. From a health inequality perspective, the question about the importance of the socio-economic background of parents is important. University students are an especially interesting group. Many students come from a privileged background and the question of health inequality among university students has not yet been properly studied. Based on the National Educational Panel Study (NEPS), we analysed health inequalities among 9,000 students in Germany (Ø 20 years in the first year of their studies) over a period of eight years. We found that university students in Germany report a good and very good health. Yet, we still found substantial health inequalities. Students whose parents had a higher occupational status also reported less health problems. We were also able to tie health inequality on health behaviour, psychosocial resources, and material conditions.

However, studies examining the development and drivers of health inequalities during this particular life stage are limited in number and have produced varied results. This study investigates trajectories of self-rated health and overweight from 14 to 25 years of age, stratified by parental education, and explores the role of potential mediators (educational achievement, health behaviours, psychosocial factors, working conditions). We rely on prospective cohort data from the National Educational Panel Study (NEPS), a representative sample of 14,981 German ninth graders interviewed yearly from 2011 to 2021 (n = 90,096 person-years). First, we estimated random-effects growth curves for self-rated health and overweight over participants’ age and calculated the average marginal effect of high versus low parental education. Second, a series of simulation-based mediation analyses were performed to test how much of health inequalities were explained by children’s educational attainment (years of school education, years in university), health behaviours (smoking, alcohol, physical inactivity), psychosocial factors (number of grade repetitions, years in unemployment, chronic stress, self-esteem) and working conditions (physical and psychosocial job demands). We accounted for potential confounding by controlling for age, sex, migration background, residential area, household composition, and interview mode. Results show that higher parental education was related to higher self-rated health and lower probabilities of being overweight. Interaction between parental education and age indicated that, after some equalisation in late adolescence, health inequalities increased in young adulthood. Furthermore, educational attainment, health behaviours, psychosocial factors, and early-career working conditions played a significant role in mediating health inequalities. Of the variables examined, the level of school education and years spent in university were particular strong mediating factors. School education accounted for around one-third of the inequalities in self-rated health and one-fifth of the differences in overweight among individuals. Results support the idea that the transition to adulthood is a sensitive period in life and that early socio-economic adversity increases the likelihood to accumulate health disadvantages in multiple dimensions. In Germany, a country with comparatively low educational mobility, intergenerational continuities in class location seem to play a key role in the explanation of health inequalities in youth.

A better understanding of the health of people with a migration background requires the consideration of their individual life course as well as several additional explanatory factors. The latter include, for instance, their social position, age, and gender, as well as the policies, health care system, social climate, living situation, and length of stay in the destination country. Particularly promising public health strategies for migrant health include a combination of migration sensitive and migration specific offers, setting approaches, and inclusionary public health approaches that critically reflect on mechanisms of othering, marginalization, and exclusion.

A1 - Dragano, Nico A1 - Sundmacher, Leonie T1 - The role of sociodemographic, psychosocial, and behavioral factors in the use of preventive healthcare services in children and adolescents: results of the KiGGS Wave 2 study T2 - BMC Pediatrics N2 - Background: In Germany, various preventive services are offered to children and adolescents. These include regular standardized examinations (so called U/J examinations) and several vaccinations. Although strongly recommended, most of them are not mandatory. Our aim is to identify factors associated with the use of U/J examinations and vaccination against diphtheria, hepatitis B, Hib, pertussis, polio, and tetanus. While previous research has focused on sociodemographic factors, we also include socioeconomic, behavioral, and psychosocial factors. Methods: We analyzed cross-sectional data from 15,023 participants (aged 0-17 years) of the nationwide representative KiGGS Wave 2 Survey. Participation in U/J examinations was assessed using a questionnaire, filled out by participants and/or their parents. Information on vaccination status was drawn from the participants' vaccination booklets. To identify relevant determinants for the use of preventive examinations and vaccinations, unadjusted and adjusted logistic regression models were employed with up to 16 different independent variables. Results: Various independent variables showed an association with the use of preventive services. Higher socioeconomic status, absence of migration background, and lower household size were associated with significantly higher utilization of U examinations. Parents' marital status, area of residence, behavioral and psychosocial factors yielded insignificant results for most U/J examinations. Higher vaccination rates were found for children with no migration background, with residence in eastern Germany, lower household size, and with married parents. Conclusion: This study attempted to depict the influence of sociodemographic, psychosocial, and behavioral factors on the use of several preventive services. Our results indicate that predominantly sociodemographic variables influence the use of preventive services. Further efforts should be made to investigate the interplay of different determinants of healthcare use in children and adolescents.

These reflect access to healthcare, which is shaped on a smaller scale than the national level, by the institutions and establishments of a health system that individuals interact with on a regular basis. This scoping review maps the existing evidence about the influence of mesolevel access characteristics and socioeconomic position on healthcare use. Furthermore, it summarizes the evidence on the interaction between mesolevel access characteristics and socioeconomic inequalities in healthcare use. Methods: We used the databases MEDLINE (PubMed), Web of Science, Scopus, and PsycINFO and followed the 'Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis Protocols extension for scoping reviews (PRISMA-ScR)' recommendations. The included quantitative studies used a measure of socioeconomic position, a mesolevel access characteristic, and a measure of individual healthcare utilisation. Studies published between 2000 and 2020 in high income countries were considered. Results: Of the 9501 potentially eligible manuscripts, 158 studies were included after a two-stage screening process. The included studies contained a wide spectrum of outcomes and were thus summarised to the overarching categories: use of preventive services, use of curative services, and potentially avoidable service use. Exemplary outcomes were screening uptake, physician visits and avoidable hospitalisations. Access variables included healthcare system characteristics such as physician density or distance to physician. The effects of socioeconomic position on healthcare use as well as of mesolevel access characteristics were investigated by most studies. The results show that socioeconomic and access factors play a crucial role in healthcare use. However, the interaction between socioeconomic position and mesolevel access characteristics is addressed in only few studies. Conclusions: Socioeconomic position and mesolevel access characteristics are important when examining variation in healthcare use. Additionally, studies provide initial evidence that moderation effects exist between the two factors, although research on this topic is sparse. Further research is needed to investigate whether adapting access characteristics at the mesolevel can reduce socioeconomic inequity in health care use.

Deutscher Krebskongress. Fortschritt gemeinsam gestalten, 21.–24. Februar 2024, Berlin: ABSTRACTS N2 - Background: In Germany, more than 4.65 million people are currently living with a cancer diagnosis. Patients can benefit from a healthy lifestyle both during and after therapy. In order to provide patients with practical and scientifically based information on health behavior, the authors developed “Aktiv leben mit Krebs” (ALMIK) using participatory program planning. Methods: A non-blinded randomized controlled trial with intervention (IG) and wait list control group (WCG) was conducted at NCT/UCC Dresden and UCCSH in Kiel in 2022/2023 with a convenience sample of n=227 patients during and after therapy (65.7 years ± 11.7, 54.2% male). IG and WCG received a questionnaire at baseline and after 1 month. IG received the ALMIK brochure and a link to the website with videos. Changes in health literacy (HLS-EU Q) and acceptance were assessed. Result: Acceptance of ALMIK in IG was high: 94.1% of all n=109 patients in the IG reported having used the brochure. 40.4% had visited the website. Videos were used by 36.7%. Almost all patients rated the brochure as understandable (97.8%), relevant (90.3%) and clearly presented (98.9%). Patients also rated the website as well-structured (95.6%) and attractively designed (97.6%), and the videos as understandable (93.0%) and relevant (79.1%). Overall, 97.8% were satisfied with the program and 98.9% would recommend it to others. Patients of IG did not achieve higher HLS-score in comparison to WCG (p=0.75). Discussion: The brochure was used by many patients and was very well accepted. The website and videos were used less frequently, but overall by more than one-third of patients, who were also satisfied with them. Health literacy was not increased by ALMIK, which may be due to the low intervention strength. Conclusion: The high number of participants who used ALMIK indicates a high need for health behavior information for cancer patients. Patient involvement has proven to be an important component in creating well accepted program materials Y1 - 2024 UR - https://karger.com/ort/article-pdf/47/Suppl.%201/7/4169504/000535363.pdf U6 - https://doi.org/10.1159/000535363 SN - 2296-5262 SN - 2296-5270 VL - 47 IS - 1 SP - 216 ER - TY - GEN A1 - De Santis, Karina Karolina A1 - Muellmann, Saskia A1 - Pan, Chen-Chia A1 - Hoffmann, Stephanie A1 - Spallek, Jacob A1 - Haug, Ulrike A1 - Zeeb, Hajo T1 - Digitisation and health: Second nationwide survey of internet users in Germany T2 - Digital Health N2 - Objective: Rapid digitisation of health occurred during the COVID-19 pandemic worldwide. In October 2020, we conducted a survey on digital health technology use in Germany. This study aimed to conduct a second survey to investigate in more detail the internet use in health context and digital technology use for health promotion and disease prevention in Germany. Methods: A cross-sectional, nationwide telephone survey was conducted in November 2022. Anonymous data on internet and digital technology use, digital health literacy, and sociodemographic characteristics were analysed using descriptive statistics and binary logistic regressions. Results: The 1020 participants were aged 18–92 years, 53% were male, 62% completed primary or secondary education, 71% resided in large cities, and 45% reported a country-average net household income. Overall, 61% reported internet use in health context via 1–4 devices. Among those, more than 50% used the internet and apps to obtain general health information and less than 50% used digital technologies for physical activity promotion or cancer prevention. Overall, 34% were confident in using the internet for health decisions and 71% preferred to receive health information non-digitally (e.g. on paper). Internet, app, and digital technology use were associated with higher digital health literacy and income, and residence in larger cities. Digital technologies were used for physical activity promotion by younger and for cancer prevention by older participants. Conclusion: The internet and digital technologies were predominantly used to obtain health information, but less often for health promotion and disease prevention in 2022 in Germany. While health app and digital technology use for physical activity promotion increased, the confidence in using online information for health decisions decreased in 2022 relative to 2020. Factors that promote confidence in online health information and digital technology use for health promotion and disease prevention need to be investigated in future studies.

Europäische Studien haben aber auch gezeigt, dass sie nicht für alle Bevölkerungsgruppen und Gebiete gleichermaßen zugänglich, nutzbar und wirksam sind, um die Gesundheit zu verbessern. Vor allem Menschen, die in ländlichen Gebieten leben, Sprachbarrieren haben oder sozioökonomisch benachteiligt sind, profitieren seltener vom digitalen Wandel [1]. Um das Potenzial digitaler Gesundheitstechnologien für die Gesundheit der Bevölkerung auszuschöpfen, sollten sie passgenau auf die relevanten Bevölkerungsgruppen zugeschnitten sein und die regionalen Lebensbedingungen berücksichtigen. Ziel des Lausitzer Zentrums für Digital Public Health (LauZeDiPH) ist es, den digitalen Wandel unter dem Aspekt der gesundheitlichen Chancengerechtigkeit zu erforschen und zu unterstützen. Methoden: Die Forschung des LauZeDiPH [2] basiert mit Fokus auf die Bevölkerung in der Lausitz sowohl auf Primär- und Sekundärdaten aus bevölkerungsbasierten Erhebungen als auch auf gezielt und partizipativ erhobenen Daten von spezifischen Gruppen, wie z.B. Patienten mit chronisch obstruktiver Lungenerkrankung (COPD) oder Menschen mit geringer digitaler Kompetenz. Relevante Zielgrößen sind dabei u.a. der allgemeine Gesundheitszustand der lokalen Bevölkerung, der Zugang zur und die Inanspruchnahme von Gesundheitsversorgung, der Zugang zu digitalen Gesundheitstechnologien, die digitale Gesundheitskompetenz und die Versorgungspräferenzen der Bevölkerung in der Region. Ergebnisse: Die bisherigen Analysen in der Gesamtschau betonen die Bedeutung sozialer und regionaler Gesundheitsdeterminanten von der frühen Kindheit an in Brandenburg insgesamt sowie in der Lausitz, z.B. bei Beschäftigten der Gesundheitsversorgung [3], [4], und damit die spezifischen Anforderungen für (Digital) Public Health in der Region. Neue Technologien werden oftmals in urbanen Settings für urbane Settings entwickelt und evaluiert. Maßgeschneiderte, regional eingebettete Maßnahmen sind daher essentiell, um bedarfsgerecht auch bisher nicht gut erreichte Bevölkerungsgruppen und die Bevölkerung in weniger erschlossenen Regionen zu erreichen. Die Ergebnisse zeigen die Notwendigkeit der partizipativen Entwicklung und Evaluation von neuen Instrumenten für Public Health und die Gesundheitsversorgung, insbesondere mit der Unterstützung von Menschen mit eingeschränktem digitalem Zugang, niedrigem Bildungshintergrund, wenigen digitalen Fähigkeiten oder mangelndem Vertrauen in die Forschung und digitale Technologien. Schlussfolgerung: Die Anwendung partizipativer regionaler Ansätze kann einen gerechteren digitalen Wandel im Gesundheitsbereich erleichtern. Die Einbeziehung marginalisierter und schwer erreichbarer Gruppen in digitale Public Health Interventionen kann neue Möglichkeiten für Prävention, Gesundheitsversorgung und Forschung eröffnen und ist aus Sicht der gesundheitlichen Chancengerechtigkeit essentiell [5]. Künftige digitale Ansätze sollten so gestaltet werden, dass sie den spezifischen Bedürfnissen benachteiligter Gruppen und Regionen gerecht werden. Literatur 1. WHO.
