Barriers in Reporting Administration, Transcribing and Dispensing Errors Among Clinical Nurses in A Tertiary Health Care Facility in Saudi Arabia

Background: Medication errors significantly affect patient safety. Medical error reporting is sharing potential or actual medication errors occurring in the workplace by healthcare professionals. Reporting medication errors enhance safe practices. Despite the availability of an excellent user-friendly reporting system and a heightened awareness among healthcare professionals about the importance of reporting, some nurses still need help to report medication errors due to specific barriers that require identification. The current study explores barriers to medication error reporting perceived by frontline hospital staff in a tertiary healthcare facility in Saudi Arabia. Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted from June 2022 until March 2023. Data was collected using a structured questionnaire and analyzed using SPSS 25 (AMOS) and MS-ECD 10. Results: The number of nurses who participated in the study was 309. Barriers concerning fears were ranked the highest on the barriers scale, such as fear of disciplinary action, being blamed, losing the respect of co-workers, a non-anonymous reporting system, and fear of liability or lawsuits. Another barrier related to practicality is the extra time involved in documenting a medication error. Almost half, 45.63%, of nurses reported fear of liability or lawsuits (3.28 ± 1.27), 42.71 % reported a fear of disciplinary action (3.19 ± 1.24) and 42.72 % fear of being blamed (3.11 ± 1.25). The least significant reason for nurses not reporting medication errors was the lack of information on how to report a medication error. Conclusions: Nurses play an essential role in patient safety. Most of the participating nurses reported barriers related to fear. Reporting failure might potentially impact practice safety. Accordingly, we support and recommend empowering and encouraging nurses to report medication errors and create a safe climate in the healthcare setting.

מאבק הממסד נגד הפעלת כוח משטרתי פסול בעשור הראשון למדינת ישראל

The use of unlawful force by British Mandate police was embedded into the Jewish consciousness as a symbol for the entire regime's inherent faults. In contrast, the desired image of the Israeli police force was shaped as the complete opposite: A police force whose actions are justified, enacts law and order, and applies force with restraint. Thus, as opposed to the Mandate's model of colonial policing founded on oppressive military components, the Israeli police, upon its inception, espoused – in theory, at least – the metropolitan model, based on the public's consent to its actions. In practice, however, this was not enough to uproot the phenomenon entirely: since the Israeli police's very first years, members of the Knesset, government and media have voiced their complaints about an unlawful use of force by police officers. Although it is difficult to gauge the true scope of the problem, the state had worked to fight it due to both its practical and symbolic severity. This study will focus on the measures taken by the police, Knesset and government – sometimes with the influence of public and media discussions and sometimes without it – to eradicate it, on three levels: educational – through training courses for new police officers that included laws, regulations and content defining proper use of force; legal – which involved disciplinary and criminal action against policemen who used unlawful force; and structural – which comprised of inquiry committees that examined the use of force by the police and its officers systemically. The failure of these efforts is often explained on a universal level using Brodeur's stance, that the use of force is tantamount to fighting fire with fire: fighting an inherently wrong action by employing an equally wrong means of doing so. Our research will focus on the limited success of these efforts using a local analysis that focuses on Israeli police and society during the state's first decade: on the micro level, we will examine the characteristics of police officers, while the macro level will follow the broad political and social contexts of that time, which led to a reproduction of mandatory-military practices even within a police force that raised the banner of civic policing.

Sosialisasi Upaya Perlindungan Hukum Atas Hak-Hak Pasien dan Tenaga Medis di Puskesmas Sukamaju Kota Bandar Lampung

Health law essentially provides legal certainty and protection, both for providers of health services and for recipients of health services, requiring a dynamic health law. For example, such as health workers who commit errors or negligence in carrying out their profession may be subject to disciplinary action determined by the Health Workers Disciplinary Council (Jo: Article 54 paragraphs 1 and 2 of Law No.23 of 1992 concerning health Jo. P No.32 of 1996 concerning health workers). Based on the results of a social approach to several communities in the inpatient health center of Sukamaju Village, East Bay Betung Subdistrict, Bandar Lampung City, they have never known the existence of Law No.36 of 2009 concerning Health, and do not understand about health services, patient protection, environmental health, health provision regulated in Law No.36 of 2009 concerning Health, so in this case socialization is needed as an effort to instill knowledge about the legal protection they have as patients. The methods considered relevant to achieve the above objectives are the lecture method and the discussion method, which are methods used to convey material about Law No.36 of 2009 concerning Health. The results showed that an understanding of the rights of patients and medical personnel in accordance with applicable legal procedures makes the community know what rights can be received based on the legal procedures in force.

Exploring the Perceived Impact of Agriculture-Related Punishments on Students' Interest in Agriculture: A Multidimensional Analysis

This piece of writing examines the impact of assigning agricultural tasks as penalties on students' enthusiasm for agricultural studies. The study encompasses both Junior High School (JHS) and Senior High School (SHS) students, as well as educators, aiming to comprehend their viewpoints. Through the utilization of surveys with varying response alternatives, the research discovers that JHS students hold diverse opinions, whereas a greater percentage of SHS students (27% showing strong agreement and 30% expressing agreement) associate these tasks with a reduction in their interest. Conversely, a significant majority of teachers (75%) strongly concur that such punitive measures undermine students' motivation. This accentuates the necessity for captivating teaching approaches in agricultural education, with the objective of igniting authentic interest and cultivating positive experiences among students. In essence, the article underscores the detrimental effects of utilizing agricultural tasks as disciplinary actions on students' inclination toward agricultural studies and suggests implementing more engaging teaching methods to foster genuine enthusiasm and favourable learning encounters in this field.

Integration Development of Civic Education and Student Management in Colleges and Universities Based on Combining Data Fusion Model in the Context of Exquisite Parenting

Abstract This paper focuses on the design of an educational early warning mechanism based on the fusion of ideological education and multi-featured data so as to manage the educational situation of students in colleges and universities efficiently and accurately. In this paper, the wavelet transform, discrete Fourier transform, and lag sequence analysis algorithms are used to effectively extract temporal features of students’ behaviors. PageRank and Hit’s algorithms are employed to extract features related to student concept maps. The emotional tendencies recognition interface provided by Tencent Cloud was used to obtain the emotional features of students’ speeches. Following this, a multi-feature fusion was performed to depict the students’ learning. A Hive-based data warehouse is used to integrate heterogeneous data from multiple sources. Finally, the education early warning model based on multi-feature data fusion is introduced, and the operation mechanism of early warning mechanism for ideological and political education in colleges and universities is established. To verify the effect of this paper’s model against other algorithms, this paper’s model achieves the optimal performance in the F1 score in negative samples, which is 0.91, followed by the TPA-LSTM algorithm, which is 0.88. Before the optimization of the early warning mechanism, the average per capita absenteeism of the students was 1.32 sessions, and the rate of disciplinary actions was 0.0291. At the end of the academic year, the average per capita absence rate decreases to 1.24 sessions, and the disciplinary action rate decreases to 0.0245.

How to face disciplinary measures at work

Disciplinary measures are an important part of maintaining safe and effective health systems, ensuring patients receive the highest quality of care. There are a number of disciplinary measures that can be enforced by the employer. Misconduct in health and care can have serious consequences for patients and health and care workers, and can result in disciplinary action or even criminal charges. This article provides an overview of the disciplinary process. It highlights key points and describes action that can be taken if there are any issues of concern that could be deemed misconduct.

Analysis of the Application of the Code of Ethics and Criminal Sanctions Against Advocates Receiving Bribery

Indonesia is a constitutional state that upholds justice. Advocates as one of the law enforcement officers who have an important role in maintaining justice and the integration of the legal justice system should not be ethical to accept bribes from any party, but it cannot be denied that there are still unscrupulous advocates who accept bribes and tarnish their professional code of ethics. This study uses a normative juridical method with a statutory approach related to the problem of bribery criminal sanctions against advocates. Advocates who accept bribes not only harm the fundamental principles that underlie the legal system but also damage the entire public's trust in the advocate profession and the justice system as a whole. Sanctions for unscrupulous advocates who accept bribes include revocation of their advocate license, disciplinary action, and criminal sanctions. Bribery in any form is unacceptable and must be eradicated immediately so that justice is protected in the justice system.

State Alcohol Policy Environments of U.S. Colleges: Predictors of Sexual Assault and Alcohol-Related Arrest and Disciplinary Action

Binge drinking and sexual assault are serious inter-related public health problems faced by college students. State-level alcohol policy restrictiveness has been found to decrease binge drinking among college students and, therefore, may also reduce occurrences of alcohol-related criminal offenses. It was hypothesized that more restrictive state alcohol policy environments would be associated with fewer liquor law violations and sexual assault offenses on U.S. college campuses. Data were aggregated across 3 academic years (2016-2017, 2017-2018, and 2018-2019) and represented n=1,290 institutions. Zero-inflated negative binomial regression modeling was performed in 2022-2023 to evaluate associations of state-level young adult binge drinking and the Alcohol Policy Scale (APS) with the numbers of campus-level alcohol-related arrests, alcohol-related disciplinary actions, rape offenses, and fondling offenses reported in national Campus Safety and Security data. Higher APS scores had direct associations with fewer alcohol-related arrests (1.79% decrease per one-unit increase in APS, p=0.05), alcohol-related disciplinary actions (2.27% decrease per one-unit increase in APS, p=0.027), and rape offenses (0.85% decrease per one-unit increase in APS, p=0.021). The associations APS scores had with disciplinary actions and rape offenses were partially and fully mediated, respectively, by state-level young adult binge drinking. No associations were found between APS and fondling offenses. This cross-sectional study presents evidence that more restrictive state alcohol policies are associated with fewer alcohol-related arrests and disciplinary actions, and rape offenses on college campuses. Future research should identify the alcohol policy domains that are most protective against these outcomes.

산업재해 예방을 위한 근로자 의무와 역할의 개선방안 연구

Workers play an important role in recognizing and preventing risks at work sites. However, the current Occupational Safety and Health Act does not provide rights and obligations commensurate with the worker's role as an industrial accident prevention agent. The study analyzed the regulations on workers' industrial accident prevention roles and obligations in major countries and presented the following implications to improve workers' duties and roles as subjects of industrial accident prevention.
 First, the obligations of workers are specified: ① the duty to pay attention to the safety and health of others affected by their work performance (duty of care), ② the duty to work in accordance with training and instructions on safe work provided by the employer (obligation to comply), ③ reflects the obligation to report immediately upon discovery of an imminent risk of industrial accident (reporting obligation), ④ obligation to cooperate to identify the risks of the workplace and to select appropriate measures(duty of cooperation). Second, by limiting the scope of workers' obligations, it prevents comprehensive obligations from being imposed or the employer's obligations from being passed on to the employees. Third, there should be punishment provisions for workers' violation of their obligations, but punishment should be given for intentional and obvious violations, and the worker's violation of the law should not be interpreted as a reason to defend the employer's violation of the law. Fourth, judicial liability, such as disciplinary action and compensation for damages resulting from a violation of an employee's obligations, is limited to an appropriate scope considering the characteristics of the employment contract. Fifth, give workers the right to improve safety and health (right to participate, right to suggest, right to request improvement, right to report, etc.) and promote active activities.
 I‘m expecting that by using the research results, future workers' participation in workplace safety and health improvement and industrial accident prevention activities will be promoted, and self-discipline based on the responsibility of industrial accident prevention subjects will be quickly established.

RESIDENCY RESTRICTION ON COLONIAL GAMBIA CHIEFS

Through qualitative analysis the paper examines the soured relationship between Gambian chiefs and their colonial masters and the legal implications of the disciplinary actions the latter meted on the former. By disregarding normal standard legal procedures, the colonial administrators inflicted draconian punishments on chiefs that dare think outside the box. From archival materials, colonial correspondences Colonial Gambia and learned journals publications the paper advanced explanations for the highhandedness of the colonialists which degenerated into residency restrictions imposed on the chiefs, viewed against the legal background of Due Process. The common law court rulings cited to buttress opinions expressed in the paper indicate that colonialism in The Gambia remained a case of the strong exerting control over the weak that had no option but to put up with the inevitable consequences of colonial rule.

Challenges and Initiatives on Single-Use Plastics in Universities

Single- Use Plastic manufacturing and use have risen steadily since its invention, spurred by the rising urbanization of the world. Ever since its introduction, and driven by rapid urbanization, there has been an increase of plastic production and consumption. The government, organizations, and other institutions should perform various investigations to explore the many limits, in any aspects, in order to address plastic waste and its underlying problems. It involves implementing many strategies and efforts throughout the entire community, including in institutions. A meta-synthesis of the challenges and initiatives faced by schools with relation to single-use plastics is essential to providing a complete awareness of the existing situation and development of sustainable practices in educational institutions. After extensive investigation of the synthesized articles the challenges were categorized into seven themes: manpower, equipment/facility and space, administrative support, financial, lack of information dissemination, attitude/behavior, and curriculum integration. Meanwhile, the initiatives were classified into six themes: environmental goals, rewards and motivation, disciplinary measures, knowledge and awareness, educational approach, and the equipment and facilities. This meta-synthesis concluded that the various difficulties faced by universities in managing single-use plastic hinder the implementation of those solutions as well as the various initiatives employed by universities to promote the spread of environmentally conscious and responsible people. School administration and teachers collaborate in integrating the reduction of plastic waste to the teaching instruction. In addition, incentives and disciplinary actions are among the finest ways to instill routines, practices, and habits in the reduction and generation of plastic trash. To lay a solid basis for environmental education and awareness, policies that set expectations for behavior and offer direction to faculty, staff, and students are established.

Fugitive future making: Empowering voices, amplifying sociopolitical imaginations, and designing transformative futures

In U.S. school systems, anti-Blackness and ableism are organizing principles that constitute a system of exclusion through which to dismiss complex intersectional identities of Black, Indigenous, and People of Color (BIPOC) students with and without disabilities. Racialized outcome disparities in the identification of disability and school disciplinary actions are material consequences of the historically sedimented White and ableist legacy that pathologizes and criminalizes BIPOC students. To dismantle the current schooling system that perpetuates racial stratification and injustice, educational scholars and practitioners have collectively dreamed of learning as fugitive action in which they restore human dignity of BIPOC students and communities and envision alternative futures with them. Learning as fugitive action is a subversive approach that not only unveils the oppressive systems of schooling but also restructures them to achieve racial equity and disability justice. As part of the effort to facilitate collective fugitive learning at school, a community-driven systemic design intervention called Learning Lab was developed. Within the Learning Lab, school community members, particularly those from historically marginalized communities, collaborate to imagine possible realities and design a new support system accordingly. Through this collective fugitive learning, they actively address the disproportionality of their BIPOC youth in special education placements and school disciplinary outcomes. The aim of this essay is to explore the potential of Learning Lab as a space for fugitive future-making and to demonstrate how it can be used to dismantle oppressive structures and design transformative school systems.

“No Marketing on a Dead Planet”: Rethinking Marketing Education to Support a Restoration Economy

The threat of rapid and unpredictable climate change means we must urgently transition human lifestyles into a restoration economy, with a focus on restorative development instead of new development or conservation of old modes. To support that project, marketing educators must rethink their discipline and their responsibilities, challenging legacy marketing teaching and ‘business as usual’. To assess current practice, a global survey of 200 marketing faculty identified three clusters by climate consciousness: Engaged, Conflicted, and Traditionalist. Analysis of open-ended comments identified three themes: Felt need for change, Barriers to change, and Action to take. Building on these findings, we identify anti- and pro-restoration mechanisms in our disciplinary practice at societal, university, and individual level. We present those mechanisms in a new framework highlighting the discourses that reinforce and challenge engagement and agnosis. Agnosis is a socio-cultural and psychological phenomenon underlying the current collective failure to engage with climate change. We challenge colleagues to confront agnosis and offer individual, disciplinary, and institutional actions that support transition to net-zero carbon marketing logic.

Descriptive analysis of the legal ramifications of medication diversion by pharmacy employees

BackgroundMedication diversion, the act of illegally redirecting prescription drugs from their intended path, is a growing problem in the United States, with significant implications for patient safety and the integrity of the health care system.Objective: The objective of this study was to link reported diversion cases from state boards of pharmacy to state court docket records to describe the legal ramifications of medication diversion. MethodsA retrospective analysis of state board of pharmacy records and state court docket records from six states between 2016 and 2021 was completed. ResultsA total of 207 medication diversion cases were identified and 61 of these cases were able to be linked to state court cases. The study found that pharmacy technicians were involved in the majority of cases (77.3%). The study found that medication diversion frequently occurred in community pharmacies (59.2%), involving controlled medications (87.4%). The primary reasons for medication diversion were personal use (43.7%) and undetermined motives (48.5%). Of the 61 cases linked to court cases, prevalent disciplinary actions included “misdemeanor or felony charges” (21.4%) and “jail time, suspended” (9.2%). The findings underscore the need for robust systems and protocols within health care facilities to prevent medication diversion, particularly in pharmacy settings. Measures such as implementing physical and electronic controls, addressing flaws in operations, and conducting thorough background checks during the hiring process are crucial for minimizing the risk of diversion. Furthermore, the study reveals inconsistencies in the disciplinary actions taken by state boards of pharmacy and state legal systems, indicating the need for more standardized and consistent processes for prosecuting medication diversion cases. Future research should aim to include a broader sample size and develop standardized data collection methods to further explore medication diversion and its legal implications. ConclusionIn conclusion, addressing medication diversion requires a collaborative effort between health care facilities and regulatory bodies. By prioritizing prevention strategies and aligning disciplinary actions, the health care system can ensure patient safety, uphold professional integrity, and effectively combat medication diversion.

Lead exposure and student outcomes: A study of Flint schools.

This paper estimates the impacts of cumulative lead exposure on the short-run discipline and academic achievement of elementary school students. An exogenous, heterogeneous shock of lead-in-water levels within classrooms at Flint Community Schools provides the treatment variation used to focus on the understudied, short-run effects of lead on older children. At the mean level of classroom lead exposure disciplinary actions increased by 8 actions per grade within each school, and the share of students proficient in both math and reading declined. These results may help explain observed disparities in both behavior and academic achievement for underprivileged groups.
