Current Status of Hospitalist Practice and Factors Influencing Job Satisfaction in Korea.

Although the roles and responsibilities of hospitalists have grown considerably in recent years, research on the current job status and satisfaction levels of Korean hospitalists is lacking. We investigate the present state of Korean hospitalists and the factors influencing their job satisfaction 6 years after the pilot program's launch. This cross-sectional analysis was based on an online survey conducted from January 30 to February 18, 2023. Korean hospitalists (N = 303) MAIN MEASURES: The survey encompassed participant demographics, hospital information, education, clinical practice, research involvement, and job satisfaction. We employed multiple logistic regression analyses to identify determinants of satisfaction as a hospitalist. The analysis was based on 79 hospitalists' responses (response rate 26%). Respondents had a median age of 39 years; approximately half were male internal medicine specialists, possessing over 3 years of hospitalist experience. Most respondents were interested in clinical work (94.4%), with only 21.5% interested in research and evidence-based medicine. Over two-thirds indicated that non-clinical duties occupied less than 20% of their time. Overall, job satisfaction among hospitalists averaged 51.9%. Notably, the availability of a research mentor was significantly associated with job satisfaction (P = .011). While hospitalists with more than 3 years of experience, more hospitalists per facility, and autonomy were associated with increased job satisfaction, these associations were not statistically significant. Furthermore, there was no association between night shift work, work type, or work hours and job satisfaction. Although Korean hospitalists primarily focus on clinical practice, our study underscores the positive impact of mentorship from research mentors on job satisfaction, supported by comprehensive univariate and multivariate analyses. These findings signal a progressive transformation in the role of Korean hospitalists, as they increasingly engage in research alongside patient care.

Usability test for a cane-combined weight support feedback device.

Traditional canes have no special functions besides weight support, and their long-term use may cause secondary damage to the musculoskeletal system and gait deviation. This study aimed to investigate the usability of the cane-combined weight support feedback device (CWSFD) to identify areas requiring improvement and the current level of satisfaction. As a collet-type device, the CWSFD has a structure allowing attachment and detachment at the lower end of a traditional mono cane. To assess the level of satisfaction and areas of improvement regarding the novel CWSFD, a usability test was conducted on 10 physical therapists with ⩾ 20 years of clinical experience. The usability test comprised a satisfaction survey questionnaire to determine the level of satisfaction, and an in-depth interview to identify the points of improvement. The usability test demonstrated a moderate or higher level of satisfaction in all tested items, and the in-depth interview revealed that the device should have a lower weight with a greater diversity of feedback. We anticipate that by implementing the respective improvements, a novel device will be developed in the future; for its commercialization, studies to verify the clinical effectiveness are warranted.

User Satisfaction Profile of an Outpatient Physical Therapy Service

Physical therapy is characterised as a health process with prolonged interactions between the professional and the user, involving close physical contact, the user’s active participation, and frequent visits. Evaluating user satisfaction is a priority for managing health services quality, being a good index for assessing clinical effectiveness. Therefore, establishing the profile of user satisfaction with the service is important for organisational management in health units. This work aims to analyse the current satisfaction level of users of an outpatient physical therapy service, trace the satisfied user profile according to their sociodemographic and clinical characteristics, identify a set of best practices and aspects for improvement, and propose measures to improve satisfaction. Thus, a quantitative, observational, analytical-correlational, and cross-sectional study was carried out. The application of the Physical Therapy Outpatient Satisfaction Survey and a sociodemographic and clinic questionnaire allowed the creation of a microeconomic database and the application of the econometric methodology of linear regression. It was possible to identify variables that increase satisfaction, such as location, professional situation, travel time, pathology, and salary range, and variables that decrease satisfaction as the place of residence, academic qualifications, health system, referral, professional status, and age. Based on the evidence, measures to improve the physiotherapy service are proposed.

User Preferences towards Hyperloop Systems: Initial Insights from Germany

The rapidly evolving urbanization is generating unprecedented travel demand, notably in intercity travel. With increasing challenges in motorized traffic, innovative and sustainable transport modes are more than ever necessary. The Hyperloop system is an emerging transportation mode with the potential to change long–distance commutes, especially between cities. There is a need for, but also gap in, understanding this potentially emerging transport mode. This study aims at filling this gap by deploying a stated preference study in Germany, in which data was collected for 786 respondents with 5640 scenarios, to investigate the factors impacting users’ preferences towards Hyperloop systems. Models were developed to examine factors impacting the immediate Hyperloop adoption (in the first year of its implementation), but also the choice between Hyperloop and other long–distance travel modes, such as airplanes and high-speed trains. Results indicate that mode-related characteristics (travel time, travel cost, safety), individual characteristics (gender, income level, availability of a driving license, access to a car, familiarity with the Hyperloop system), the current satisfaction level with high-speed trains and airplanes, and personality traits (confidence, affinity to technology) are the most significant factors in the choice and early adoption of Hyperloop systems.

Patient Satisfaction Following Lumbar Decompression: What is the Role of Mental Health?

To determine the association between patient-reported depressive symptoms and patient satisfaction following minimally invasive lumbar decompression. Primary, single-level/multilevel minimally invasive lumbar decompression was identified. Patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs) collected preoperatively/postoperatively included visual analog scale back/leg, Oswestry Disability Index, 9-Item Patient Health Questionnaire (PHQ-9), and 12-Item Short Form Mental Composite Score (SF-12 MCS). Patients rated current satisfaction level (0-10) with back/leg pain and disability. A paired Student's t-test compared each postoperative PROM score to its preoperative baseline. At each timepoint, patients were categorized by PHQ-9 and SF-12 MCS scores. One-way analysis of variance compared patient satisfaction with back/leg pain and disability among PHQ-9 subgroups. The Student's t-test for independent samples compared patient satisfaction between SF-12 MCS subgroups. Analysis of covariance (ANCOVA) assessed differences in satisfaction between depression subgroups while controlling for preoperative/postoperative values in corresponding PROMs. 193 patients were included. All PROMs demonstrated significant postoperative improvement from 6-weeks through 2-years (P < 0.001, all), except PHQ at 9 2-years (P= 0.874). Mean satisfaction scores ranged from 6.9-7.9 (back pain), 7.3-8.0 (leg pain), and 7.6-8.0 (disability). Satisfaction with back/leg pain and disability significantly differed among PHQ-9 subgroups at all postoperative timepoints (P < 0.001, all). Accounting for baseline and current pain/disability values, ANCOVA revealed differences between PHQ-9 subgroups only in satisfaction with back pain at 2 years (P < 0.001), leg pain at 12 weeks/1 year/2 years (P ≤ 0.047, all), and disability at 6 months/2 years (P ≤ 0.049, both). Satisfaction differed between SF-12 MCS subgroups at all timepoints (P ≤ 0.047), except back pain 6 months (P= 0.263). Accounting for baseline and postoperative pain/disability, ANCOVA revealed differences in satisfaction between SF-12 MCS groups only for back/leg pain at 2 years (P ≤ 0.001, both). Independent effect of depression at long-term follow-up was significant. This highlights the importance of understanding the interaction between physical and mental health outcomes to optimize patients' perceptions of surgical outcomes.

Standards in surgical training in advanced pelvic malignancy across Europe and beyond – A Snapshot analysis

IntroductionMultimodal treatment of patients with advanced pelvic malignancies (APM) is challenging and surgical expertise is usually concentrated in highly specialised centres. Given significant regional variation in APM surgery, surgical training represents a cornerstone in standardising and future-proofing of this complex therapy. The aim of this study was to describe the availability and current satisfaction levels with surgical training for APM. Material and methodsAn online questionnaire was developed and distributed through the Redcap© platform with 32 questions addressing participant and institution demographics, and training in APM surgeries. The survey was electronically disseminated in 2021 to surgical networks across Europe including all specialities treating APM via the European Society of Surgical Oncology (ESSO). All statistical analysis were performed using R. ResultsThe survey received 280 responses from surgeons across 49 countries, representing general surgery (36%), surgical oncology (30%), gynaeoncology (15%), colorectal surgery (14%) and urology (5%). Fifty-three percent of participants report performing >25 APM procedures/year. Respondents were departmental chiefs (12%), consultants (34%), specialist surgeons (40%) and fellows (15%). 34% were happy/very happy with their training with 70% satisfaction about their exposure to surgical procedures. Respondents reported a lack of standardised training (72%), monitoring tools (41%) and mentorship (56%). 57% rated attended courses as useful for training, while 80% rated visiting expert centres as useful. ConclusionThis study has identified a learning need for improved structured training in APM, with low current satisfaction levels with exposure to APM training. Organisations such as ESSO provide an important platform for visiting expert centres, courses, and structured training.
