Identifying Critical Dimensions of the Patient Safety Culture Affecting Nurses’ Turnover

Background A lack of understanding of the causes of turnover among nurses is the main threat to patients, as it directly affects the care that staff provide based on the patient safety culture (PSC). Therefore, it is necessary to identify critical dimensions affecting nurses’ turnover. Methodology This study uses the internal data sets of the Chinese version of the safety attitudes questionnaire of a regional teaching hospital in Taiwan from 2015 to 2018 focusing on the turnover of nursing staff who left their jobs in the next coming year (from 2016 to 2019) by employing linear regression with forward selection. Results Perceptions of management are the first critical variable to be identified followed by safety climate and teamwork climate. These three dimensions positively influence the overall satisfaction of the PSC from the viewpoints of nurses’ turnover. In contrast, this study concludes that working conditions and job satisfaction might be the dimensions to influence nurses’ leave in this case hospital. Conclusion Improving working conditions and job satisfaction to result in a higher overall satisfaction of the PSC might be an approach to reduce nurses’ turnover.

The Role of Spirituality, Marital Satisfaction and Socio-Economic Status on Attitudes Toward Childbearing Among Married Women Without the Intention and History of Pregnancy: A Cross-Sectional Study

Background: Iran has experienced a sharp decline in childbearing rates over the past three decades, and the extent to which attitudes toward childbearing are influenced by marital satisfaction, socio-economic status, and spiritual health remains unclear. Additionally, past research has largely focused on women who already have children. This study, however, examines all women who, after five years of marriage, have not yet decided to have children. Objectives: This study aimed to determine the role of spirituality, marital satisfaction, and socio-economic status in shaping attitudes toward childbearing among married women in Semnan City in 2023, specifically those without a history of pregnancy or intention to conceive. Methods: This cross-sectional study included 235 married women who had neither the intention nor history of pregnancy, with a minimum marriage duration of five years. Participants were purposefully selected during visits to the family health center in Semnan City in 2023. Data were collected using the Childbearing Attitudes Questionnaire, the Spiritual Health Questionnaire, the Marital Satisfaction Questionnaire, and the Socio-Economic Status Questionnaire. Statistical analysis was conducted using multiple linear regression tests in SPSS software version 24. Results: The largest proportion of participants belonged to the age group of 26-32 years (31.35%). A majority (137 individuals, 58.3%) had either an associate or bachelor’s degree, and most participants (58.3%) were employed. The results demonstrated that spirituality (41%), socio-economic status (56%), and marital satisfaction (65%) were significant predictors of attitudes toward childbearing (P < 0.01). Conclusions: As marital satisfaction emerged as the strongest predictor of attitudes toward childbearing, it is recommended that health centers offer courses to improve and enhance marital satisfaction among women.

KNOWLEDGE, ATTITUDE, AND PRACTICE REGARDING DIABETIC RETINOPATHY IN A TERTIARY HEALTH CARE CENTRE AMONG DIABETIC POPULATION IN THE FRONTIER REGION OF BIHAR

Objectives: The objective of the study was to determine the association between knowledge, attitude, and practice and to identify barriers to compliance with follow-up and treatment regimes. Methods: This study was conducted in the Department of Ophthalmology, M.G.M. Medical College and L.S.K. Hospital, Kishanganj, Bihar. It was a cross-sectional study. One hundred and thirty patients were enrolled for the study. Knowledge, attitude, and practice questionnaire consisting of 22 questions was formulated [1]. For fundus examination direct ophthalmoscope, indirect ophthalmoscope, slit lamp with 90D lens, and optical coherence tomography were used. Results: In the assessment of knowledge and attitude, 56.92% of participants exhibited good knowledge and a positive attitude, while 43.08% had poor knowledge and a negative attitude regarding diabetic retinopathy (DR). Regarding practice, 43.08% demonstrated good practice, whereas 56.92% showed poor practice. Correlation between knowledge, attitude, and practice regarding DR. Among individuals with good knowledge and positive attitudes, 48 had good practice, while 26 had poor practice. Among individuals with poor knowledge and negative attitudes, eight had good practice, while 48 had poor practice. The statistical analysis reveals a significant correlation between knowledge and practice (Chi-square=33.2572, p<0.0001). Conclusion: A significant correlation between knowledge of diabetes and practice regarding DR is noted. Individuals with better knowledge tend to exhibit better practices related to DR screening and management. There is a notable association between knowledge of DR, attitude toward the condition, and practice regarding DR. Individuals with better knowledge generally tend to have a more positive attitude and thus exhibit better practices toward diabetes and DR management and care.

Attitudes and Motivation as Predictors of Perception of English Language Proficiency: Structural Equation Modeling (SEM)

English is the most widely spoken and written language in the world, so many students have different perceptions of English language proficiency, so there is a need to investigate the predictors of English language learning. Therefore, the main objective of this study was to determine the relationship between attitudes towards learning English and motivation towards English learning under the SEM model as predictors of perception of English language proficiency in Peruvian university students. The sample consisted of 711 Peruvian students from a private university (442 females = 62.2% and 269 males = 37.8%). The questionnaire of attitudes towards learning English, motivation towards English, and socio-demographic questions were used, including the perception of English language proficiency. The proposed model obtained a satisfactory fit. Attitudes towards learning English explain 10% of the perception of English language proficiency, but with motivation towards English as the mediating variable. According to the established criteria, the goodness of fit of the model was confirmed (?2 = 383.78; df =3; p .000; RMSEA = 0.06; AGFI= 0.97; TLI = .97; CFI = .99), which confirms the fact that all the values obtained are acceptable.

Pre-service teachers’ pedagogical knowledge and attitudes towards slow learner students

The pedagogical knowledge and acceptance of pre-service teachers towards slow learner students contribute to the implementation of inclusive education in regular schools. This study investigates the level of knowledge and acceptance pre-service teachers have in applying effective teaching strategies for students with slower learning needs. The participants of this study were 187 students at a private university in. This research is ex-post facto research. The research instrument used was a pedagogical knowledge test and attitude questionnaire. The data obtained were analyzed using correlation analysis, and t-test, to determine the relationship between pedagogical knowledge and attitudes towards slow learner students. The finding reveals that there was a positive relationship between pedagogical knowledge and attitudes towards slow learners, but the correlation between the two is not strong, in the medium category. Pre-service teachers gain pedagogical knowledge from inclusive education courses. Pre-service teachers also form a positive attitude towards slow learner students because of their experience interacting with slow learner students. A strong correlation between the variables in this study suggests that pre-service teachers' pedagogical knowledge has a limited impact on their attitudes toward slow learners. This highlights the need for improved training in effective teaching strategies for slow learners.

Healthcare workers' knowledge, attitudes, and practices towards cardiovascular disease prevention: a multi-national cross-sectional study

Abstract Introduction Prior studies have shown that improved primordial prevention of cardiovascular disease (CVD) may significantly delay its onset. Healthcare workers (HCWs) are well-placed to influence healthy lifestyle habits for CVD prevention. However, it is unclear how well HCWs fare in this role given the multiple demands on their time in clinical practice. Purpose We sought to understand the CVD prevention knowledge, attitudes and practices (KAPs) of HCWs across 25 nations. Insights gained could help inform efforts to optimise CVD prevention by HCWs. Methodology: Data was collected via an anonymous, online questionnaire which consisted of pre-validated CVD prevention and smoking cessation subscales adapted from the Preventive Medicine Attitudes and Activities Questionnaire (PMAAQ). The subscales have been previously validated in a study population of primary care residents in the US, demonstrating validity and reliability. Results 668 HCWs (60% doctors, 28% nurses, 12% medical students) from 25 nations responded to the survey. Overall, 74.86% of HCWs routinely assessed patients’ cardiovascular (CV) risk profiles in clinical practice. 65.65% of HCWs counselled patients who were asymptomatic for CVD on tangible lifestyle changes to improve their CV risk profiles, while 68.22% of HCWs did so when patients were overweight. Of note, only 51.26% of HCWs implemented comprehensive smoking cessation interventions for their patients. Practising HCWs demonstrated higher levels of CVD prevention promotion than medical students in all aspects (Fig 1b), except for self-reported importance of CVD risk factor counselling in primary prevention (Tukey HSD diff: 0.31, p-value: 0.051). Among practising HCWs, there were no significant differences in their promotion of CVD prevention across varying lengths of clinical practice. HCWs from higher income nations[1] tended to fare worse than their lower income counterparts in the promotion of CVD prevention (Fig 1a). Conclusion A large multi-national survey reveals significant gaps in the promotion of CVD prevention by HCWs, highlighting key differences in CVD prevention practices based on national income status. The results also demonstrate significant differences between medical students and practising HCWs’ CVD prevention behaviours, highlighting the role of continuing education for the promotion of long-term positive CVD prevention clinical practices amongst HCWs. Further efforts may target the medical education of early-career HCWs, especially in higher income nations. [1] National income level is defined as per the World Bank's classification, with the exception of Taiwan which is not classified as an independent nation under the World Bank. However, Taiwan is still labelled as a high income nation as her GNI (US$33,565) fits the criterion of the World Bank's definition of a high income nation (GNI per capita of >US$13,846).Table 1:Participant demographicsFigure 1a and 1b

Learning how to explore spiritual aspects in encounters with patients with chronic pain: a pre-test post-test trial on the effectiveness of a web-based learning intervention

BackgroundIntegrating spiritual aspects into treatment plans can release essential resources for coping with chronic pain. However, some spiritual aspects may also induce distress and hinder the coping process. There is a lack of evidence regarding how to perform the clinical tasks of exploring spiritual aspects and of instruments assessing related competencies. Therefore, we developed a web-based learning module to provide education on the subject alongside corresponding assessment instruments. The module presents the InSpiRe (Integration of Spirituality and/or Religion in patient encounters) protocol. The instruments encompass cognitive, affective, and behavioral dimensions.MethodsThis paper aims to determine (i) the learning effects associated with completing the web-based spiritual-care learning module and (ii) the reliability and validity of the instruments employed. To address these aims, we conducted a pre-test/post-test trial with N = 32 randomly selected fourth-year medical students. During the pre-test, we assessed the students’ knowledge, attitudes, and self-efficacy regarding exploring spiritual aspects. For this purpose, we developed a short-answer knowledge test, an attitude questionnaire, and a self-efficacy scale. Additionally, the students explored spiritual aspects with a simulated patient portraying a person with chronic pain. Three trained raters evaluated the students’ performances using a self-developed scale. In the intervention phase, the students completed the 45-minute learning module on a personal computer. The module presented InSpiRe-related content as text and step-by-step video demonstrations, including hints that denote critical actions. The subsequent post-test was identical to the pre-test.ResultsThe internal consistency was suitable for all respective instruments, and there was an indication of solid validity of the performance test. After completing the spiritual care learning module, the students showed statistically significant increases in knowledge scores and significant positive shifts in their attitudes and levels of self-efficacy regarding exploring spiritual aspects. They also attained significantly higher performance scores in the same regard.ConclusionsCompleting the spiritual-care module is associated with meaningful learning effects on cognitive, affective, and behavioral dimensions related to exploring spiritual aspects, as demonstrated in the post-test conducted shortly after the intervention. Due to good reliability and validity scores, the self-developed instruments can be applied appropriately.

Modified Literature Circles: Improving ESP Students’ English-speaking Skills Through Movie Circles

For Thai students, English-speaking skills have been among the most problematic. This study aims to compare the English-speaking skills of English for Specific Purposes (ESP) students before and after employing movie circles, and to investigate their attitudes toward employing movie circles. The participants consisted of 30 ESP students studying a dual program in social development and education at a public university in Thailand. They were also classified as pre-service social studies teachers. A mixed-methods study was performed utilizing the one-group pre-test-post-test design. Both qualitative and quantitative methods were employed. The instruments were movie circle lesson plans, pre- and post-English-speaking tests, an attitude questionnaire, and semi-structured interview questions. The results revealed significant improvement in the ESP students’ English-speaking skills, as well as positive attitudes toward using movie circles to improve English-speaking skills. The findings suggest that movie circles, or peer-led discussion activities, can be integrated into ESP classrooms with the specific goal of improving English-speaking skills.

Impact of a Case-Based Sleep Apnoea Education on the Knowledge, Attitudes and Confidence of Dental Hygiene Students-A Multicentre Intervention Study.

This pilot study aimed to explore knowledge, attitudes and confidence levels of Obstructive Sleep Apnoea (OSA) before and after case-based education among dental hygiene students. Moreover, to give an international perspective, this study included students from the US and Scandinavia. A longitudinal multicentre study assessed dental hygiene students' OSA knowledge, attitudes and confidence through a case-based education model. Students from six dental hygiene programmes in the US, Norway and Sweden participated from 2021 to 2022. The intervention group (N = 89) received preview material, live synchronous OSA lecture, case-based screening of fictitious patients and clinical practice using the STOP-Bang screening tool. Controls (N = 70) followed the standard curriculum. The Obstructive Sleep Apnoea Knowledge and Attitudes (OSAKA) questionnaire, comprising 18 knowledge and five attitude/confidence questions, was used. Reliability was assessed and nonparametric tests determined OSAKA knowledge score differences among the baseline, 6 months and 12 months intervals. The intervention increased OSA knowledge with the largest increase in proportions of correct responses occurring between the baseline and 6 months and all single items showing a higher proportion of correct answers at 12 months compared to the baseline. Students' attitudes regarding the importance of OSAKA and confidence in managing patients increased from the baseline to both 6 months and 12 months. The case based educational intervention increased OSA knowledge and improved attitudes and confidence among dental hygiene students. The results also determined that the OSAKA questionnaire can be used in a setting with dental hygiene students to provide an overview of their knowledge, attitudes and confidence toward OSA. Current sleep medicine education in dental hygiene programmes is limited, suggesting the need for enhanced and sustained educational interventions to address this knowledge gap.

Exploring bullying in cardiothoracic surgery: the role of psychological safety and personal traits.

Lack of psychological safety within surgical teams and fear of damaging one's career or reputation may counteract the effect of formal reporting as a tool for preventing bullying. Also, personality traits of cardiothoracic surgeons may promote bullying. In the current study, we evaluate these factors and their association with bullying in cardiothoracic surgical teams. Forty-four cardiothoracic surgeons filled in the Negative Acts Questionnaire-Revised, Safety Attitude Questionnaire, and Big Five Inventory. Of the 44 participants, 18 (40.90%) experienced bullying during their careers. Psychological safety was negatively associated with work-related bullying and positively associated with the agreeableness and openness personality factors. Bullying within the cardiothoracic surgical teams is a prominent problem that is negatively associated with psychological safety. Psychological safety is positively associated with agreeableness and openness, and interventions focusing on promoting an organizational culture based on such factors may improve the effectiveness of such interventions.

Restless sleep is associated with increased anxiety in physical therapy students: a cross sectional survey study

BackgroundSleep and mental health are intimately related and shown to impact graduate students enrolled in health sciences programs, including physical therapy education. Doctorate of Physical Therapy (DPT) students’ attitudes and behaviors surrounding sleep and whether these factors are associated with mental health are unknown. This study aimed to describe sleep behaviors and attitudes of entry-level DPT students and to explore the relationship between subjectively reported sleep quality and self-reported symptoms of anxiety in these students.MethodsA cross-sectional online survey consisting of the Sleep Practices and Attitudes Questionnaire (SPAQ), the Generalized Anxiety Disorder-7 (GAD-7) questionnaire, and demographic questions were used. Analyses investigated sleep behaviors and attitudes, along with the relationship (unadjusted odds ratio) between restless sleep and anxiety in DPT students in hybrid and traditional DPT programs across the United States (US).ResultsA total of 271 DPT students completed the survey. A majority of students reported feeling tired during most days (80.8%, n = 219), a quarter of participants (24.7%) reported having a history of trouble sleeping and four (1.5%) reported being diagnosed with a sleep disorder. Of those who reported their sleep duration, participants slept an average of 6.86 h. The mean GAD-7 score was 7.68 (SD = 4.90), suggestive of mild anxiety. Sixty-seven (24.7%) reported having a diagnosed anxiety disorder, with generalized anxiety being the most common diagnosis. Those who reported having restless sleep were 4.09 times more likely to have moderate to severe anxiety [unadjusted odds ratio = 4.09 (95% CI 2.27,7.35; p < 0.001)] compared to those who reported restful sleep.ConclusionsDPT students who rated sleep as restless exhibit signs of poor subjective sleep quality associated with an increased risk of experiencing moderate to severe anxiety compared to students who had restful sleep. Students reported behaviors surrounding sleep that may contribute to anxiety. These findings have implications for including sleep and mental health education and practices within DPT programs.

Knowledge, Awareness and Attitude of Pharm.D. Students on Antimicrobial Stewardship: A Report

Antimicrobial Stewardship (AMS) is a strategy to optimize antimicrobials and prevent the emergence of antimicrobial resistance (AMR). Pharm.D. students are future Clinical pharmacists who play a key role in promoting rational use and implementing AMS programs. Only a few studies about their knowledge, awareness and attitude regarding AMS exist. A cross-sectional study was conducted in the middle of December 2023, among Pharm.D. students of different academic years from three Pharmacy colleges and Pharm.D. graduates in South India. The survey was conducted online using a validated questionnaire and Pharm.D. students audited the results under the guidance of an Infectious disease specialist. The survey comprised 17 questions covering demographic information, AMS knowledge, attitude and awareness questionnaires. This study included a total of 190 respondents. However, only 32.11% reported having participated in any AMS activity during their period of pharmacy education. Pharm.D. students have a positive attitude (72.48%) and optimal awareness (65.13%) but they lack sufficient knowledge (45.19%) towards AMS, specifically regarding surgical prophylaxis and antibiotic allergy testing. It serves as a valuable resource for educators, policymakers and stakeholders involved in shaping the curricula of Pharm.D. programs to enhance the training and preparedness of students in AMS practices. In the future, AMS education programs should target not only clinicians but also Pharm.D. students and interns.

Toward Postulating a Critical Digital Pedagogy Scale: Development and Validation of a Meta-Connective Attitude Questionnaire for the Online Classrooms

Although digital technology and democracy through digital learning environments are gaining attention in applied linguistics, the lack of a measurement scale with robust psychometric properties hinders progress towards education quality and learning opportunities. To address this gap, this study is a report on designing, constructing, and validating the practicality of critical digital pedagogy (CDP) scale. To undertake the study, a quantitative research following a survey design was adopted to (a) develop and validate the scale, and (b) to screen English as a foreign language (EFL) teachers’ perceptions. To gauge teachers’ perspectives, this study aimed to conceptualize the construct of CDP through the development and validation of a scale specifically designed for use in online classrooms. Utilizing both data-driven and theoretical approaches among 412 EFL teachers has resulted in the development of a 27-item CDP scale. Notably, the findings indicated a high level of internal consistency and satisfactory construct validity of the of the newly developed scale. Such scale can bridge the gap between critical pedagogy and digital instruction.

Nurses' attitudes towards patient safety and their relationship to adverse patient events in Oman.

Adverse events (AEs) are major causes of mortality. Identification of nurses' attitudes towards patient safety and their impact on AEs is critical in enhancing safe practices. To assess the relationship between attitudes towards patient safety and AEs as perceived by nurses working in Sultanate of Oman. A descriptive, cross-sectional study was conducted. Data to evaluate nurses' attitudes towards patient safety was collected using the Safety Attitude Questionnaire. The relationship between attitudes towards patient safety and the perceived incidence of adverse patient events was examined using logistic regression analysis. A total of 184 questionnaires were administered from February to April 2022, with a response rate of 96.8%. The results revealed that nurses had a negative attitude towards patient safety. The highest reported adverse event was patient and family complaints. Findings showed a significant relationship between working conditions and patient and family verbal abuse (OR = 0.505, CI (0.283-0.901), p = 0.021). Job satisfaction was a significant predictor of patient fall (OR = 0.57, CI (0.353-0.932), p = 0.025) and medication error (OR = 0.58, CI (0.354-0.949), p = 0.030). Nurses' attitudes towards patient safety are a significant predictor contributing to the occurrence of AEs. This finding provides key insights about patient safety status that key stakeholders could use to improve safety culture, including raising patient safety awareness.

Strengthening resilience and patient safety in healthcare institutions during the COVID-19 pandemic: Experience from a quasi-medical center

The COVID-19 global pandemic exposed healthcare system vulnerabilities, further endangering patient safety. This article explores perspectives on resilience and patient safety among healthcare workers using data from the Taiwan Patient Safety Culture Survey (TPSCS) and implementing Patient Safety Leadership Walkrounds (PSLWs) at E-Da Hospital. In 2021 and 2022, 1340 and 1114 staff members from clinical departments completed TPSCS questionnaires, respectively. 89 leaders from clinical departments participated in PSLWs in 2022. Among the four job categories, scores of Safety Attitude Questionnaire (SAQ) were lower among nurses and medical technicians, while perceptions of resilience and work-life balance were lowest among nurses. Between the two-year surveys, nurses exhibited significant decreases in SAQ in 2022 compared to 2021, while perceptions of work condition and work-life balance significantly declined among pharmacists. Resilience perception significantly decreased among all job categories except physicians during the pandemic. Mediation analyses showed teamwork climate, job satisfaction, management, work condition, and work-life balance were directly associated with safety climate, while resilience acts as a mediator, indirectly potentiating these relationships. Through PSLWs, we identified concerns about patient safety, including workforce, systems, processes, equipment, and work environment. Among these, workforce shortages and unsatisfactory pay emerged as the most pressing challenges. Strong leadership was recognized as a crucial factor in enhancing resilience and patient safety. This study suggests that TPSCS and PSLWs are worth regularly promoting among hospital institutions. Additionally, our findings highlight the urgency of healthcare organizations and governmental agencies to undertake policy reforms to improve healthcare workers’ well-being.

Preparing for Patient Care: A Pre-clerkship Curricular Thread to Improve Learners’ Knowledge, Attitudes, and Confidence Treating Patients at Risk for Suicide

AbstractSuicide is a leading cause of death. Unfortunately, stigma still surrounds depression and mental health treatment. Many health care providers are uncomfortable broaching the topic with patients. There is an urgent need to better equip future physicians to compassionately identify and treat patients at risk for suicide. To address this problem, we created a novel suicide prevention spiral curricular thread for advanced pre-clerkship medical students. Mixed methods surveys were administered before and after the curriculum. Following completion of the curriculum, learners’ confidence identifying and treating patients at risk of suicide significantly increased. Attitudes including professional confidence, therapeutic optimism, and generalist perspective measured by the Revised Depression Attitudes Questionnaire also increased, indicating reduced stigmatizing attitudes and increased knowledge and confidence. Participants reported that engaging in the standardized patient encounter was the most impactful event, although the prior events provided necessary foundational training. This study demonstrates the feasibility and effectiveness of a curricular thread approach during the pre-clerkship phase for training medical students in suicide prevention to prepare them for patient care. Other medical schools can use this framework to design and integrate suicide prevention training into their own curricula.

Preschool Teachers' Attitudes about Inclusive Education and Its Influencing Factors in China.

The purpose of this study is to describe the current status of preschool teachers' attitudes about inclusive education and discuss the factors that influence these attitudes. A total of 449 preschool teachers who have students with disabilities or special educational needs in their classrooms and 638 teachers without students with disabilities or special educational needs in their classrooms volunteered to complete the online survey. The survey included two components: a Basic Information Questionnaire and the Early Childhood Inclusive Education Attitude Questionnaire (ECIEAQ). Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, t-tests, and ANOVA. Scores in the two dimensions of Positivity and Promotion were higher than those in the two dimensions of Resistance and Passivity, indicating an overall positive attitude about inclusive education. Attitudes about inclusive education significantly differed by gender, preschool location, inclusive education training opportunities, and receipt of a special education financial allowance. Inclusive class teachers who are female, aged over 30, teach classes with a child-to-teacher ratio of more than 14, and who work in urban areas show higher levels of Promotion or Resistance than general class teachers. Overall, preschool teachers hold a positive attitude about inclusive education. Training opportunities and a special education financial allowance should be provided to foster positive attitudes. Certain groups of inclusive class teachers may need more support and resources to implement inclusive education.
