The Effect of Compensation Policy and Work Discipline on Nurse Productivity at dr. H. Marzoeki Mahdi Mental Hospital Bogor in 2023

Health worker productivity problems due to suboptimal institutional management still often occur, including at the dr. H. Marzoeki Mahdi Mental Hospital (RSJMM). Nurses are the largest number of health workers in hospitals with a high level of patient intervention; if there is inappropriate treatment, they risk decreasing work productivity. The aim of this research is to analyze the effect of financial compensation, non-financial compensation, and work discipline on nurse productivity at RSJMM. The research study used a quantitative approach by distributing questionnaires to 205 nurses. The results showed partially (1) financial compensation has no significant effect on nurse productivity (Sig. value 0.953 > 0.05, β=0.002); (2) Non-financial compensation has a positive and significant effect on nurse productivity (Sig. value 0.016 < 0.05, β=0.073); (3) Work discipline has a positive and significant effect on nurse productivity (Sig. value 0.000 < 0.05, β=0.293). The work discipline variable (0.293) most dominantly affects nurse productivity. Simultaneously, the three variables have a moderate effect on nurse productivity of 0.576 or 57.6%, while other variables influenced the remaining 42.4% was influenced by other variables. These results have limitations that are based on respondent's perceptions. It is suggested that hospitals need to optimize nurse productivity by improving hospital facilities, training, educational opportunities, transparency and fairness of compensation systems, recognition and feedback for employee performance, and compliance with work discipline.

Digital capabilities of health workers to use electronic medical records: Digital maturity self-assessment in Indonesian hospitals

Digital skills influence the successful implementation of information systems and electronic medical records (EMR) in health care facilities. The Ministry of Health measures digital maturity levels to identify gaps in improving digital transformation, including the digital skill of health workers in hospitals in 2022. The digital maturity in all hospitals in Indonesia was measured quantitatively based on the 7 components of Hospital Information Systems Maturity Model (HISMM). The low response rate was anticipated with a number of efforts such as outreach, capacity building and a circular letter from the Ministry of Health. Internal and external consistency was conducted to ensure the quality of the self-assessment. Specifically, the level of digital skills was analysed by calculating the average score of one components of digital maturity, namely Human Resources, Skills and Use of Hospital Information Systems. There are 11 parameters for assessing the level of digital literacy, perceived usefulness and encouragement to use RME in hospitals. All parameters were assessed using a 5-point scale and were analysed quantitatively. The response rate was 31.9% (973 out of 3,052 hospitals) where overall average of digital maturity level was 2.6. Hospital type A, higher accreditation status and located in Jawa-Bali has relatively high maturity level compare to others. The digital skills of health workers in hospitals are relatively high, with the majority already using the hospital information system. This was align with the perception of the ease of use and usefulness of using a hospital information system. Even though there have been several digital health champions in the hospital, health workers have not been fully involved in the process of developing information systems in hospitals and not many hospitals have utilized HIS to assess the performance of health workers. It is clearly that health workers in hospitals are capable and quite aware of the use of digital technology. However, their role needs to be increased to support the development of appropriate digital technology.

THE RISK OF TRANSMISSION OF COVID-19, COMMUNITY STIGMA, THE AVAILABILITY OF PPE AS A STRESS TRIGGER FOR HEALTH WORKERS

In the midst of the Covid-19 pandemic, the role of health workers is very important. The high risk of transmission causes stress for them. The aim of the research is to empirically determine the influence of the risk of Covid-19 transmission, public stigma, and the availability of PPE on the stress of health workers in hospitals. Using a quantitative approach, the cross section with a sample of 122 was tested with multinomial logistic regressions. Univariate results show that the risk of transmission is low, public stigma is moderate, PPE availability is high and stress is moderate. The results of the bivariate analysis show that the risk of Covid-19 transmission has a positive effect, community stigma has a positive effect, and the availability of PPE has a positive effect on health worker stress, all of which are significant. Multivariate analysis results indicate that all independent variables have a significant effect on health worker stress. The risk variable for transmitting Covid-19 is the most dominant. Screening for the risk of Covid-19 transmission, complete personal protective equipment, and positive stigma can provide health workers with a sense of security so that the risk of stress can be minimized.

Occupational risk factors associated with Covid-19 among Health Workers in a tertiary referral Hospital, Nairobi Kenya: A case control study

Background: Covid-19 disease disproportionately affected health workers (HWs) by worsening the preexisting shortage of HWs in developing countries , thus overwhelming health systems and disrupting health delivery. However, evidence on the predominant sources of Covid-19 exposure among HWs in sub-Saharan Africa remains scarce. This study sought to identify the occupational risk factors associated with Covid-19 disease among HWs in a tertiary hospital in Kenya. Methods: An unmatched case-control study design was used to assess exposure differences between 39 randomly sampled PCR Covid-19 positive HWs (cases) and 108 conveniently sampled PCR Covid-19 negative and asymptomatic HWs(controls). An adapted WHO risk assessment questionnaire was administered via phone interviews to measure occupational exposure in the last two weeks before each participant’s PCR Covid-19 test between November 2021 and December 2021. Multivariable logistic regression was applied to identify the statistically significant risk factors and the results on adjusted Odds Ratio (aOR) were reported at 95% Confidence Intervals (P&lt;0.05). Results: Controlling for the sex and the clinical status, sub-optimal adherence to face shields ((aOR 4,p&lt;0.05), suboptimal infection prevention control (IPC) adherence in common staff dining rooms (aOR 8,p&lt;0.05), working in medium risk departments (aOR 7,p&lt;0.05) in the last 2 weeks before PCR Covid-19 testing were the significant occupational risk factors to Covid-19 disease among HWs. Conclusions: Reinforcing adherence to facial protective gears together with other personal protective equipment and promoting adherence to infection prevention protocols among HWs in occupational areas with perceived lower risk of infectious disease such as common hospital rooms can reduce the spread of Covid-19 among HWs. Future validation of occupational exposure risk assessment tool across different hospital and health delivery settings can improve comparability and generalizability of findings to inform policies for optimal protection of HWs during SARSCoV2 and similar infectious disease pandemics.

Comparison of Antibody Responses After CoronaVac and BNT162b2 Vaccines in Healthcare Workers.

Since the initial outbreak in late December 2019, the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic has become a significant healthcare issue worldwide. Despite patients getting the total recommended doses of the COVID-19 vaccine, it is still unable to stop the spread of the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) infection. Our study aimed to evaluate the antibody response in the 3rd month after two doses of the CoronaVac vaccine and after a single dose of the BNT162b2 vaccine. One hundred thirty-five people from Tarsus State Hospital health workers were included in the study. We collected serum samples from healthcare workers 3months post-vaccination, and the Anti-SARS-CoV-2 Quanti-Vac ELISA IgG kit coated with recombinant S1 antigen was used to test for SARS-CoV-2 antibodies. Antibody levels of BNT162b2 (last vaccine) patients are significantly higher than CoronaVac ones (p < 0.05). It was determined that those who do not have a concomitant disease and those who do not smoke have higher antibody levels after CoronaVac than the others (p < 0.05). It was determined that 53.1% of 32 patients with pain, swelling, redness at the vaccination site after CoronaVac did not have pain/swelling/redness at the vaccination site after BNT162b2 (p < 0.05). Headache was also more common after CoronaVac compared to the BNT162b2 vaccine (p < 0.05). In conclusion, IgG seropositivity was lower after CoronaVac than BNT162b2, and the antibody level for CoronaVac recipients has decreased over time since vaccination, but not for BNT162b2 recipients.
