Safety Checklist: Practical Application in a Multidisciplinary Hospital Setting

The relentless improvement of medical care does not exclude the presence of certain complications in patients during the implementation of their treatment. This may be facilitated by the complexity of the manipulations and operations performed, the possibilities of new technologies, the age and concomitant pathology of patients. The predominant occurrence of adverse consequences in the provision of surgical care has prompted the medical community to pay attention to this in the first place. In the process of searching for a simple tool to solve problems arising in the provision of surgical care, a Surgical Safety Checklist (checklist, SSC) was created at the initiative of the World Health Organization (WHO). Its introduction into standard practice in operating rooms was aimed at improving the safety of both anesthesia and surgical operations, as well as reducing complications and mortality by improving teamwork, communication and consistency of medical care. The purpose of this message is to focus the attention of specialists from various fields and ranks on the need to introduce SSC into the daily work of a multidisciplinary hospital in the form of a standardized procedure for the effective functioning of the operating unit team, the ultimate goal of which is to provide safe care to the patient. An analysis of 4 years of experience in the use of SSC in the Ilyinskaya Hospital allows us to talk about the difficult process of staff entering the workflow of using a seemingly elementary tool. However, the improvement of communication processes and the adaptation of both the mechanism of SSC implementation and its contents allow us to hope for its strict observance and, ultimately, a significant reduction in all possible avoidable risks during the provision of surgical care.

Особливості управління персоналом в умовах воєнного стану

Wartime requires decisive actions from the management of enterprises, such as: acceleration of managerial decision-making, flexibility of management style, improvement of communication processes, ensuring the safety of employees and their mental health, maintaining their productivity, etc. All this requires the development of new, adaptation of existing personnel management tools under force majeure conditions of operation. The essence of effective management is that employees are considered as an asset and a special resource of the organization. With the change of the internal and external environment of the organization, personnel management tools will also change. Through the prism of strategic, anti-crisis management, there is an urgent need to change the functional model of personnel management at enterprises, which should be based on their own experience of working with their employees, limited financial resources and force majeure conditions of operation. With this in mind, the use of a functional approach to personnel management was suggested. The essence of the function in personnel management from the point of view of a set of works of a certain type, performed to solve various tasks and achieve the goal of management, makes it possible to distinguish different functions depending on the type and purpose of work, namely planning, organizing, motivating, controlling and regulating the activities of personnel. Differentiation of functions allows you to single out separate tasks and types of management activities and regulate rational rules and procedures for their implementation. The practical significance of the article is that, based on the analysis of literary sources on the basic principles of personnel management and generalizations of statistical studies on trends in this field of activity under martial law, a description of the functions of planning, organizing, motivating, controlling and regulating the activities of employees is given. In the conditions of martial law, the rationality of personnel management is replaced by the preservation/conservation of personnel. Prospects for further research will be a more thorough, detailed analysis of the functions of planning, organizing, motivating, controlling, and regulating the activities of employees under martial law.

Efectividad de la intervención formativa sobre la competencia comunicativa en futuros maestros

La sociedad nos invita a mejorar constantemente nuestra forma de interaccionar con ella y la mejora en los procesos de comunicación, factor esencial en el desarrollo de la profesión del docente, ello nos obliga a reflexionar sobre los componentes de la competencia comunicativa y el dominio de la misma. El presente trabajo forma parte de una amplia investigación que analiza la formación sobre nuevas tecnologías que posee el alumnado del Grado de Maestro de Educación Primaria en tres universidades españolas (Granada, Jaén y Oviedo). El estudio se centra en una muestra de 380 estudiantes del Grado de Maestro en Educación Primaria (en las universidades citadas). Se realiza un estudio descriptivo y cuasi-experimental, pretest-postest con grupo control no equivalente. Se evidencian deficiencias iniciales en los grupos control y experimental en situación pretest en la formación del estudiante en los niveles previos a los estudios universitarios con respecto a la competencia comunicativa, que mejoran con la aplicación del programa “Affective e-Learning+” al grupo experimental. Los estudiantes del grupo experimental manifiestan que el programa ha mejorado su interacción con los estudiantes de la otra universidad; que han compartido experiencias y el programa en línea les ha facilitado el aprendizaje de temas importantes para su formación, pudiendo utilizar tiempos y espacios que no han interrumpido su ritmo de estudio, tras la aplicación del programa en línea “Affective e-learning+” en los diferentes criterios de las subcompetencias Sociolingüística, Morfosintáctica, Pragmática y Ortográfica y registro lingüístico, que integran la competencia comunicativa The society encourages a constant improvement in how we interact with it as well as in the improvement of communication processes, a key factor in the development of the teaching profession. As a result, we have to think about the components of communicative competence and its knowledge. This research is part of an extensive research project that analyzes the training on new technologies that the Primary Education Teacher Degree students have at three Spanish universities (Granada, Jaén and Oviedo). The study focuses on a sample of 380 students of the Primary Education Teacher Degree (in the universities involved in the study). A descriptive and quasi-experimental, pretest-postest study is carried out with a non-equivalent control group. Initial deficiencies are evident in the control and experimental groups in pre-test situation in the student's pre-university training levels with respect to communicative competence, which improve through the application of the “Affective e-Learning+" programme in the experimental group. The students of the experimental group state that the program has improved their interaction with other university students; they have shared experiences and the online program has facilitated the learning of important subjects for their training, using times and spaces that have not interrupted their learning process. After the application of the online program "Affective e-learning+" in different criteria of Sociolinguistics, Morphosyntactics, Pragmatics and Orthographic sub-competences and Linguistic Registry, which integrate the communicative competence.

Tecnologias educativas e plataformas digitais na gestão educacional

A integração de plataformas digitais (PD) no sistema escolar português visou otimizar os processos de ensino aprendizagem, de gestão e administração educacional e de comunicação entre profissionais. No quadro desta problemática esta investigação apresenta uma leitura sobre a utilização de PD na gestão educacional dos agrupamentos de escolas, em Portugal, construída através da análise dissertações de mestrado e teses de doutoramento desenvolvidas sobre esta temática. Os resultados revelam que os temas mais investigados se relacionam com a relação entre as PD e a comunicação e gestão de informação e a relação escola-família. Identificam-se ainda como contributos das PD a melhoria dos processos comunicacionais, da relação escola-família e da agilização de processos e como constrangimentos a falta de condições e de suporte técnico aos professores, bem como falta formação especifica. São apontadas algumas sugestões relacionadas com o reforço e atualização de equipamentos e a promoção de ações de capacitação.

Ferramentas 2.0 e bibliotecas universitárias brasileiras: levantamento de uso e implicações

Introdução: Apresenta o conceito de biblioteca 2.0, e como os serviços e produtos orientados nesta perspectiva transformariam as bibliotecas tradicionais em ambientes mais interativos e dinâmicos. Aborda como as ferramentas 2.0 - blogs, microblogs, redes sociais, wikis, portais de compartilhamento de imagens e vídeos, dentre outras - podem proporcionar o aprimoramento dos processos de comunicação, transmissão da informação e aquisição do conhecimento, resultando em uma maior aproximação da biblioteca e do bibliotecário com os seus usuários. Método: Análise quantitativo-qualitativa de websites de bibliotecas de universidades públicas brasileiras (incluído o Distrito Federal) visando o levantamento do uso de ferramentas 2.0. Resultados: Observou-se que dezenove, da amostra de vinte e sete bibliotecas submetidas à análise utilizam alguma ferramenta 2.0. Verificou-se a preferência por três grupos de ferramentas 2.0 (Fontes RSS , Microblogs, e Redes Sociais). Verificou-se a não utilização de algumas ferramentas (Redes Sociais de Leitura, wikis, e Mensagens Instantâneas). Conclusão: As bibliotecas universitárias públicas brasileiras investigadas ainda têm uma modesta participação na esfera 2.0 o que dificulta o uso do potencial de comunicação, interação e colaboração destas ferramentas entre os usuários e usuários e bibliotecários

Risk assessment and risk communication in environmental health in Poland

Efficient prevention activities can reduce disease, caused by environmental factors as well as costs to the health-care system, but it is impossible without understanding by the society of when, where, how and why exposures occur. Physicians and other health-care professionals may have an important role to play in communication of these potential dangers as the public requires information from knowledgeable and trusted sources about environmental risks and methods to avoid them. Epidemiological study in Poland shows that the health risk awareness in the society is not satisfactory and improvement of communication processes is essential to reduce individual risk factors.

Communication Lessons from Structural Problems

While structural problems with constructed facilities do not often lead to headlines, they always cause owners difficulties with safety and function, not to mention lost time and added expense. A number of these problems are explored here to discover what lessons they may have for engineering managers and professionals in design and construction. The primary nontechnical causes for these problems seem to center around communication failures. Recommendations for improvement of communication processes are offered.
