Write 3 page essay on the topic Methodological of the Studies Included: Association between Health Practice Intervention and Reduce the Respiratory Infection.

This was caused by the difficulties in ascertaining the microbiologic capability and the endeavor to culture the pilgrims over the Hajj rituals. Mustafa et al (2000) analyzed the rates and the views on the effectiveness of the vaccinations against influenza. This study was conducted on pilgrims from Malaysia with patient case sample of 820 of which 84% of them had been given antibiotics. A sample population was recruited from five randomly picked hotels considering gender and age of the respondents. A control sample population of 600 persons was also employed. Considering the large number of pilgrims, approximately 2 million that attend the Hajj in Saudi Arabia, this sample population is very small to present reliable results as the true cases noted during Hajj. Remarkably, SPSS test method was applied in the analysis of the results with 77% indicating an effective influenza vaccination with a confidence level of 95%. Deris et al (2010), postulates that a study of 387 pilgrims with a mean age of 50.4 years was conducted in Malaysia to determine the prevalence of the respiratory symptoms among the Malaysian pilgrims. The use of survey forms was used to perform the cross-sectional study to the pilgrims before they left back for their country from Hajj with results indicating 3.6% having not suffered from the illness. Significantly, Choudhry et al (2006) explored a study to establish the incidences pilgrims from Riyadh contacted acute respiratory infections. This study was carried out in the Riyadh primary heath care institutions were the pilgrims were registered. A list of 72 primary health centers in Riyadh was sourced from the Directorate of Health and subdivided in five administrative units. A sample population of 1027 pilgrims was considered under which a paltry 39.8% indicated signs of acute respiratory infections. According to this study, diabetic people who had a longer stay in Namera mosque during the Hajj registered a higher risk of suffering from the respiratory diseases. In Tock Seng Hospital, Singapore, Smith et al (2002) performed a seroepidemiological study to establish the pertussis incidence among the pilgrims. A study sample of 358 adults was considered with 1.4% being diagnosed with the prolonged cough. This study suffered a limitation with the population sample discriminating against age though even the children under 18 years attend Hajji. This gave considerably an underestimated statics on the Respiratory disease infections among the Singapore pilgrims. From a population of 374 pilgrims originating from Thailand, Phrom (2005) conducted a study to determine the best model for the prevention, control and regulation of the meningococcal disease risks posed by the Pilgrims returning from Hajj. More over, the study aimed at finding the numerical strength of the carriers of meningococcal infections and the general health issues that occurred over the Hajj period. In the collection of data structured questionnaire was employed leading to a limitation n the accuracy of the obtained results. This is by the fact that many respondents are generally unwilling to disclose their health information and hence provide little or fail to respond at all. To evaluate the efficacy of influenza vaccine against acute respiratory diseases in Tehran, Iran, Razavi et al (2004) carried out two comparable cohort researches.
