Yoshiro Mori, Nobuyuki Miyatake, Hiromi Suzuki, Yuka Mori, Setsuo Okada and Kiyotaka Tanimoto : Comparison of Impressions of COVID-19 Vaccination and Influenza Vaccination in Japan by Analyzing Social Media using Text mining, Vaccines, Vol.11, No.8, 1327, 2023.

The aim of this study was to compare impressions of COVID-19 vaccination and influenza vaccination in Japan by analyzing social media (Twitter) using a text-mining method. We obtained 10,000 tweets using the keywords "corona vaccine" and "influenza vaccine" on 15 December 2022 and 19 February 2023. We then counted the number of times the words were used and listed frequency of these words by a text-mining method called KH Coder. We also investigated concepts in the data using groups of words that often appeared together or groups of documents that contained the same words using multi-dimensional scaling (MDS). "Death" in relation to corona vaccine and "severe disease" for influenza vaccine were frequently used on 15 December 2022. The number of times the word "death" was used decreased, "after effect" was newly recognized for corona vaccine, and "severe disease" was not used in relation to influenza vaccine. Through this comprehensive analysis of social media data, we observed distinct variations in public perceptions of corona vaccination and influenza vaccination in Japan. These findings provide valuable insights for public health authorities and policymakers to better understand public sentiment and tailor their communication strategies accordingly.
The purpose of this study was to clarify the current status of oncology certified nurse specialist(OCNS) involvement in cancer genome medicine. A survey of 235 OCNSs who consented to participate in the study revealed that those involved in cancer genome medicine had a better understanding of hereditary tumors. Through descriptive content analysis, 8 learning needs were identified in relation to cancer genome medicine. Among these needs,[ basic nowledge of hereditary tumors and cancer genome medicine], [regular acquisition of up-to-date information on genetic medicine], and[ genetic counseling in actual clinical settings] revealed no differences between OCNSs involved and not involved in genetic medicine. On the other hand,[ role of an OCNS in genetic medicine], [nursing care for patients and families with hereditary diseases], [systems and collaboration to incorporate genetic medicine into rganizations], [information on genetic medicine for facilities other than urban/designated hospitals], and[ programmed learning as a systematic approach to genetic medicine provided by academic societies] differed between the groups in terms of descriptive contents.

Background: Retinoblastoma (RB) occurs at a very young age. Since the disease is diagnosed at an early age, the family is responsible for the care of the child's disease acceptance. Objective: This study aims to explore the parenting process of children with RB toward disease acceptance. Methods: Eleven parents living in Japan were interviewed, and the data were analyzed using the Modified Grounded Theory Approach of Kinoshita (M-GTA). Results: There were twenty-one concepts representing the process of parenting a child with RB while guiding him or her toward disease acceptance, and nineteen of them were classified into ten categories based on semantic similarities. The two other concepts showed similar interpretability to categories. These categories and concepts were summarized into two core categories: ``Helping the child develop a positive mindset to define the disease as a part of him/herself'' and ``Paving the way in advance for the child to live comfortably when his or her living space expands''. Conclusions: In a cyclical framework of parenting, consisting of two core categories described in Results, the parents coordinated these two approaches while maintaining balance by ``Avoiding saying anything that does not need to be said'' and established their process of parenting a child with RB while guiding him or her toward disease acceptance, according to their household situation. The results suggest the necessity of recognizing that in childhood-onset cancers, such as RB, and diseases involving genetic issues, problems tend to occur not only during the treatment period but also at the time of life events and providing support from a comprehensive perspective.

The aim of this study was to investigate the pre-impressions of the third Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) vaccination among Japanese medical staff using quantitative analysis. Among 413 medical staff, 260 (60 men and 200 women) aged 40.4 ± 12.3 years were enrolled in this cross-sectional study. Pre-impressions of the third COVID-19 vaccination were analyzed using the text-mining analysis software, KH coder. Among 260 subjects, 242 (93.1%) agreed to the third vaccination, with the rate being lower among subjects in their 30s (87.3%) than those in the other age groups. The word "side effects" was characteristic of subjects in their 20s and nurses, and "pregnancy" of those in their 30s and administrative staff. Pre-impressions of the third COVID-19 vaccination varied among age groups and different professions. The results obtained provide useful information for promoting the third COVID-19 vaccination to Japanese adults.
