Nursing Shortage in India: Are There Solutions for Policymakers?

Abstract Investment in nursing is important to achieve Sustainable Development Goals and universal health coverage. Nurses play a critical role in achieving health goals, they ensure the continuum of care by providing comprehensive and integrated care 24 × 7. They are the largest workforce and it is essential to invest to take care of the shortage of nurses as it is a global crisis. India and other low- and middle-income countries have been struggling with this ubiquitous issue of nursing shortage for decades, preventing them from meeting their national health targets, with the majority of states failing to meet the World Health Organization standard of 4 nurses/1000 population. There are multiple factors leading to the shortage impacting the quality of patient care, patient safety and nurses. Since the nursing shortage is multifaceted, effective interventions necessitate a more in-depth comprehension of the issue. This article aims to give a glimpse of the nursing workforce’s current state in India, the reasons for the shortage, its impact on patient care, and the potential strategies to address the emerging challenges it entails. To achieve the objectives of this review article, a detailed literature review was conducted using published research articles, dissertations, review articles, newspaper articles and governmental, non-governmental and international agency reports.

Coping after the COVID-19 pandemic: nurses' learning intent and implications for the workforce and education.

Addressing the critical global shortage of nurses requires an understanding of how a global pandemic reshaped nurses' motivations and intentions toward education. This study aimed to describe COVID-19's impact on nurses' intent to pursue additional education. This descriptive study, based in North Carolina in the USA, used content analysis with an inductive approach to examine the responses of nurses to one open-ended question in a large quantitative workforce survey: how has COVID-19 influenced your plans for future education? Responses were coded with counts and organised into themes and subthemes. Primary themes identified from the data included: stressors, appraisals and coping. There were 10 subthemes, which supported primary themes with direct quotes from nurses. The implications of the themes aligns with concepts from the self-determination theory: autonomy, competence and relatedness. Nurse responses to the pandemic can guide organisations and academic institutions in supporting nurses in times of stress and design programmes that align with their goals. Nursing leaders and educators must support nurses' autonomy, competence and relatedness, addressing issues such as burnout, financial strain, work-life balance and evolving professional demands. Academic institutions should adopt flexible, resilience-focused curricula and invest in skilled nurse educators to support the growing need for advanced education and online learning.

Allied Health Professionals' Perceptions of Artificial Intelligence in the Clinical Setting: Cross-Sectional Survey.

Artificial intelligence (AI) has the potential to address growing logistical and economic pressures on the health care system by reducing risk, increasing productivity, and improving patient safety; however, implementing digital health technologies can be disruptive. Workforce perception is a powerful indicator of technology use and acceptance, however, there is little research available on the perceptions of allied health professionals (AHPs) toward AI in health care. This study aimed to explore AHP perceptions of AI and the opportunities and challenges for its use in health care delivery. A cross-sectional survey was conducted at a health service in, Queensland, Australia, using the Shinners Artificial Intelligence Perception tool. A total of 231 (22.1%) participants from 11 AHPs responded to the survey. Participants were mostly younger than 40 years (157/231, 67.9%), female (189/231, 81.8%), working in a clinical role (196/231, 84.8%) with a median of 10 years' experience in their profession. Most participants had not used AI (185/231, 80.1%), had little to no knowledge about AI (201/231, 87%), and reported workforce knowledge and skill as the greatest challenges to incorporating AI in health care (178/231, 77.1%). Age (P=.01), profession (P=.009), and AI knowledge (P=.02) were strong predictors of the perceived professional impact of AI. AHPs generally felt unprepared for the implementation of AI in health care, with concerns about a lack of workforce knowledge on AI and losing valued tasks to AI. Prior use of AI (P=.02) and years of experience as a health care professional (P=.02) were significant predictors of perceived preparedness for AI. Most participants had not received education on AI (190/231, 82.3%) and desired training (170/231, 73.6%) and believed AI would improve health care. Ideas and opportunities suggested for the use of AI within the allied health setting were predominantly nonclinical, administrative, and to support patient assessment tasks, with a view to improving efficiencies and increasing clinical time for direct patient care. Education and experience with AI are needed in health care to support its implementation across allied health, the second largest workforce in health. Industry and academic partnerships with clinicians should not be limited to AHPs with high AI literacy as clinicians across all knowledge levels can identify many opportunities for AI in health care.

Understanding MAT access in the context of unused MAT capacity in the United States: when increasing rural MAT capacity is not enough

BackgroundSection 1262 Consolidated Appropriations Act of 2023 eliminates the federal DATA waiver registration requirement to prescribe buprenorphine for opioid use disorder (OUD), along with patient limits, perhaps as a way to increase provider capacity to prescribe buprenorphine. Understanding the factors that influence provider capacity, patient access, and whether community need for MAT is met could inform how to capitalize on DATA waiver eliminations in the United States.MethodsThis observational study utilized required reporting from two cohorts of the Rural Communities Opioid Response Program (RCORP). Consortia (N = 80) provided data on OUD/SUD-related services, service area information, consortium membership, and grant progress, including barriers to and facilitators of achievements. These data were combined with National Survey of Drug Use and Health (NSDUH) and U.S. Census Bureau’s 2016−2020 American Community Survey (ACS) 5-Year Estimates Data to examine MAT capacity, access, and service area need.ResultsA 79% increase in potential buprenorphine prescribers from 2019 to 2022 resulted in 1,060 rural providers with the ability to prescribe buprenorphine. The number of individuals who received MAT increased by 42% over the same three years, with over 20,000 individuals receiving MAT by the end of the funding period. While both capacity and access did increase, an additional 11,454 individuals could have potentially received buprenorphine if all waivered providers prescribed to a conservative patient limit of thirty patients. 70% of consortia provided MAT to at least 11.5% of their estimated service area need (national rate of MAT provision among individuals 18 years and older with an OUD), indicating unused MAT capacity was not related to lack of service area need. Provider (e.g., concerns of clinical complexity), patient (e.g., mistrust of the healthcare system), pharmacy (e.g., cost concerns), and pharmacist (e.g., stigma) barriers impacted MAT provision and availability.ConclusionMAT treatment capacity is a necessary but not exclusive requirement for increasing access to MAT. Addressing the multi-faceted barriers to prescribing MAT, particularly buprenorphine, will be critical to ensure the Consolidated Appropriations Act of 2023 does in fact result in a larger workforce that actually prescribes buprenorphine and a pharmacy system that stocks these medications.

Cost-Effectiveness of the National Diabetes Prevention Program: A Real-World, 2-Year Prospective Study.

We evaluated the real-world cost-effectiveness of the National Diabetes Prevention Program (NDPP) for people with prediabetes in a large workforce with employer-sponsored health insurance. We performed difference-in-differences analyses using individual-level health insurance claims and survey data for 5,948 adults with prediabetes who enrolled (n = 575) or did not enroll (n = 5,373) in the NDPP to assess NDPP's effects on health economic outcomes. We assessed direct medical costs for the year before the NDPP enrollment/index date and for 2 years thereafter; EuroQol 5-Dimension 5-level questionnaire (EQ-5D-5L) utility scores at baseline, 1 year, and 2 years; and quality-adjusted life-years (QALYs) over 2 years. We used propensity score weighting to adjust for potential bias due to self-selection for enrollment, multiple imputation to handle missing data, and bootstrapping to produce CIs. We adopted a health care sector perspective and discounted costs and QALYs at 3% annually. Costs were expressed in 2020 U.S. dollars. Compared with nonenrollees, each NDPP enrollee had an average reduction of $4,552 (95% CI -13,231, 2,014) in 2-year total direct medical costs. Cost savings were primarily related to hospitalizations, outpatient visits, and emergency room visits. Compared with nonenrollees, each enrollee had no difference in EQ-5D-5L utility scores at 2 years or QALYs gained over 2 years. The uncertainty analyses found that enrollment in the NDPP had an 88% probability of saving money and 84% probability of being cost-effective at a willingness-to-pay threshold of $100,000/QALY-gained over 2 years. In this real-world population with prediabetes, enrollment in the NDPP was likely to provide cost savings.

On that basis, making proposals and solutions for both employers and employees to recognize the need for digital skills in the workplace is a compulsory trend for organizations. The results show that technology has changed the demands on employment in many different professions, setting demands for professional qualifications as well as digital skills of an increasingly large, complex and sophisticated workforce to respond to efficient and sustainable operations for organizations.

“We want to get out” – A qualitative study on reasons for nurses’ early retirement intentions

Abstract Background Nurses, the largest workforce in healthcare, play a central role in health systems. There is a severe global shortage of nurses, which is expected to worsen as a significant portion approaches retirement age. Early retirements can harm care quality and healthcare access, thus significantly impacting public health. Identifying reasons is crucial to prevent this trend. This study examined factors behind nurses’ early retirement intentions. Methods A descriptive qualitative study was conducted in an Irish hospital (July to September 2023) including individual interviews with 10 nurses aged 55 and over. A thematic analysis was conducted collaboratively by three researchers to identify key factors influencing nurses’ intentions to retire early. Results Five main themes emerged: 1) Health concerns, encompassing physical strain and psychological stress, significantly influencing early retirement intentions; 2) Struggling to balance job demands with personal responsibilities such as caring for ageing parents due to inflexible work schedules; 3) Need for more support from senior leaders to address staffing shortages and investment in aging nurses’ career and retirement planning to make staying more desirable and easier; 4) Feelings about nurses’ experience being undervalued in the evolving healthcare; and 5) Facing constant heavy responsibility in guiding new nurses, while simultaneously fearing patient safety risks and encountering generational differences. Conclusions Developing support systems for ageing nurses, encompassing strategies to ease workload strain, enhancing career opportunities, and promoting intergenerational collaboration are critical for reducing early retirement trends and sustaining a resilient healthcare workforce. By implementing tailored approaches, such as flexible scheduling and mentorship programs for ageing nurses, healthcare organisations can promote workforce longevity and enhance public health outcomes through improved care delivery. Key messages • Health challenges and struggles in work-life balance influence early retirement intentions among nurses, urging flexible work arrangements and improved recognition and leadership in healthcare. • To extend work careers, organisations must invest in ageing nurses’ career and retirement planning, value experience, and acknowledge potential challenges and benefits in intergenerational nursing.

The analysis of advantages and disadvantages to society of successful businesses and businessmen

Successful businesses and businessmen have both positive and negative effects on society. On the one hand, successful companies can generate short-term economic growth by increasing incomes and profits to raise nominal wages and living standards. They can also promote potential investment inflows and reinvest their money into research and development that could contribute to long-term economic growth. Besides, successful businesses can reduce crime rates and enhance social cohesion by employing a large workforce. On the other hand, monopolistic structures, government lobbying by big corporations, and faster growth rates of old capital exacerbate economic inequality. Moreover, big businesses will reduce environmental sustainability by damaging the environment. This paper believes that governments are vital in maximizing benefits and minimizing consequences from the success of companies and businesspeople.

Sociodemographic Disparities in Coronary Artery Calcium Screening

ObjectivesThis study aimed to compare the demographic features and socioeconomic status of patients who underwent coronary artery calcium screening to that of their local population. BackgroundCoronary artery calcium scores provide important evidence of subclinical atherosclerosis. However, insurance often does not cover coronary artery calcium testing, which could exclude people of lower socioeconomic status. MethodsDemographic and occupational data were obtained for all patients referred for coronary artery calcium in a metropolitan area between October 2010 and August 2023. Household income and population reference information were taken from US Census Data and matched to zip code and regional metropolitan area. ResultsCoronary artery calcium tests were performed on 627 patients with a median age of 63 years and equal gender representation (52% female, 48% male). Patients were predominately White (77%) and English-speaking (98%), which is incongruent with local demographic data (P < .001). Healthcare workers were the largest workforce (22%), followed by people involved in education (12%), which is higher than the local healthcare workforce of 10% (P < .001). Those with graduate/professional degrees accounted for 32% of patients, significantly more than the local population (P < .001). The average median annual income ($94,116) of patients who underwent CAC testing was greater than that of the metropolitan median income of $81,264 (P < .001). ConclusionThe disproportionate distribution of coronary artery calcium screening favoring educated, affluent, White English speakers indicates that higher-income and healthcare personnel are more likely to receive testing. Disparities in coronary artery calcium testing, especially in minorities and non-English speaking individuals, should be further explored.

A Study on The Relationship between Coaching Styles towards Work Engagement in Artificial Intelligence Industries

An organisation with a large workforce from a variety of backgrounds collaborates on various projects with different groups of individuals in order to achieve specific goals. Employers who develop coaching relationships with staff members may create high-quality results. According to this viewpoint, an employee who is receiving excellent training or coaching will be able to interact with the tasks assigned successfully in order to meet the organisational aim. The objective of this study is to examine how managerial coaching, executive coaching, and group coaching relate to work engagement in artificial intelligence during the COVID-19 season. It is obvious that the best coaching methods, including managerial coaching, executive coaching, and group coaching, will boost employee involvement, excitement, drive, and motivation while producing great results. 110 personnel of the artificial intelligence business are involved in this study. For data gathering in this study, a survey was used as a quantitative method. In order to analyse the data for this study, Pearson's correlation coefficient and the Statistical Package for the Social Science (SPPS) version 29.0 were both employed. The findings indicated that executive coaching has a high mean average of 3.96 and a significant link (r=0.856, p=0.01) between executive coaching and work engagement. Despite the study's shortcomings, the empirical findings contribute to our understanding of job engagement and purpose in public organisations. Consequently, training is essential in an organisation.

Managing risk concerns with ordered backlogs in the semiconductor industry: An empirical study

Today, the semiconductor industry is integral to the functionality of many critical goods and processes that are highly valued. The increasing demand across various semiconductor-related industries has correspondingly amplified the risks faced by firms within this sector. In this study, we empirically explore the potential of ordered backlogs as a means to mitigate the risks confronting semiconductor firms. Utilizing a dataset comprising publicly traded semiconductor firms in the USA, over a duration from 1998 to 2021, we quantitatively validate our hypotheses. Our findings reveal that a substantial volume of ordered backlogs is indeed correlated to a diminished level of firm risk. However, it is important to note that this risk-mitigating effect is lessened as the marketing and research intensities of these firms escalate. Moreover, we observe that the advantageous impact of ordered backlogs in risk reduction is more subdued in large workforce firms, whereas the presence of a sizable top management team aids in lessening the impact of ordered backlogs on risk. These managerial insights are invaluable in advancing both theoretical understanding and managerial practices within the realm of the semiconductor industry.

EFFECTS OF WORKING CAPITAL TURNOVER, CASH TURNOVER, AND RECEIVABLE TURNOVER ON PROFITABILITY

Purpose– The level of competition between companies is increasing as the business develops, especially when there is intense competition between similar companies. The cigarette industry is growing and becoming increasingly competitive to improve its performance. The cigarette industry significantly reduces the return on assets every year, even though the cigarette industry is a source for the government because taxes and customs are state income and accommodate a large workforce. This study aims to determine the influence of working capital, cash, and receivable turnover on profitability. Design/methodology– The type of research used is an associated method with a quantitative approach. The population in this research is the annual reports of cigarette sub-sector manufacturing companies going public. Samples in this study were taken from 32 companies using a purposive sampling approach. The type of data used in this research is secondary data using financial report data from manufacturing companies in the cigarette industry subsectors in the 2015–2022 period. Multiple linear regression is the data analysis technique employed, while SPSS version 25 is the software used. Findings - The study results show that working capital turnover has no significant effect on profitability, cash turnover significantly affects profitability, and receivables turnover has no considerable impact on profitability.

Shadow Economy: Determinants and Its Impact on Foreign Direct Investment

The shadow economy poses a significant threat to government revenue and the effectiveness of economic policies. This paper investigates the causes of the shadow economy and its influence on foreign direct investment (FDI). Our study employs the currency demand approach, a component of the indirect method, to identify the determinants of the shadow economy in a dataset covering 105 countries from 2001 to 2017. These countries are categorized into four income groups: high-income, upper-middle-income, lower-middle-income, and low-income. Parameter estimation is conducted using the Generalized Method of Moments (GMM) model, with robustness tests incorporating reference estimates from Partial Least Squares (PLS) and Fixed Effects Model (FEM). Our findings indicate that a higher GDP and lower interest rates are associated with reduced shadow economy activity. Elevated market interest rates increase the cost of funds in the informal sector, discouraging engagement in shadow economic activities due to reduced profitability. Furthermore, higher tax revenues correlate with intensified regulatory enforcement, increasing the risks associated with shadow economy involvement. A larger workforce and lower unemployment rates similarly diminish shadow economy activity. In the context of foreign direct investment (FDI), the shadow economy positively affects FDI flows when formal institutions, including legal frameworks, property rights protection, and regulatory systems, are either weak or overly burdensome. In such scenarios, economic actors may opt for informal channels like the shadow economy, offering a flexible and cost-effective alternative to the formal sector, a crucial consideration for foreign investors.

Understanding Factors Motivating Generation Z with Application of Maslow’s Theory of Motivation

Generation Z or digital natives is a fast growing workforce. As they are in born in the era of technological advancement, there lifestyle, thinking patterns, values are varied from previous generations. As they will be the largest workforce in near future, it becomes the point of concern that motivates them for their work. Understanding factors of their motivation is important as it help the organizations in there management effectively. This articles attempts to understand motivational factors among Generation Z which drives them to work using the framework of Abraham Maslow’ theory of motivation. Article is based on secondary research using qualitative data and using descriptive method of research. Key findings of the study are that Generation Z looks for work life balance, meaningful work and supportive environment as their basic motivational factors. There other driving forces are financial security, positive work environment, team bonding, open communication, reward and recognition and learning and development. Recommendation for future managers is that they should keep these factors into consideration while managing Generation Z for their effective management.

Precarious labour geographies of working holiday makers: querying sustainability

The boundaries between tourism and migration are blurry. This blurring has been beneficial for the governments of wealthy countries enabling them to import a large and flexible temporary workforce that can be directed toward regions and industries where there are labour shortages. Such is the case with the Australian Working Holiday Program (AWHP); a historically tourism-focused cultural exchange program that began in 1975. Since the 1990s, the Australian Government has leveraged the AWHP to support several of Australia’s critical industries. This has been achieved through the tweaking of mobility infrastructures that link Working Holiday Makers’ (WHMs) ability to stay in Australia to employment conditions. Such conditions increase precarity among WHMs, directing them towards remote regions and industries where there are evident labour shortages. While these mobility infrastructures significantly benefit Australia’s economy, they result in WHMs being highly vulnerable to exploitation. Such vulnerability is layered with WHMs from less wealthy, non-English-speaking countries facing the highest levels of vulnerability. This study investigates the way mobility infrastructures in the AWHP influence WHMs’ mobilities, as well as how such mobilities are experienced in uneven and unjust ways. There is urgency to interrogate the role that such programs play in contributing to unjust mobilities, and to query the attendant implications for sustainability.

Global kidney health priorities-perspectives from the ISN-GKHA.

Kidney diseases have become a global epidemic with significant public health impact. Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is set to become the fifth largest cause of death by 2040, with major impacts on low-resource countries. This review is based on a recent report of the International Society of Nephrology Global Kidney Health Atlas (ISN-GKHA) which uncovered gaps in key vehicles of kidney care delivery assessed using World Health Organization building blocks for health systems (financing, services delivery, workforce, access to essential medicines, health information systems and leadership/governance). High-income countries had more centres for kidney replacement therapies (KRT), higher KRT access, higher allocation of public funds to KRT, larger workforces, more health information systems, and higher government recognition of CKD and KRT as health priorities than low-income nations. Evidence identified from the current ISN-GKHA initiative should serve as template for generating and advancing policies and partnerships to address the global burden of kidney disease. The results provide opportunities for kidney health policymakers, nephrology leaders and organizations to initiate consultations to identify strategies for improving care delivery and access in equitable, resource-sensitive manners. Policies to increase use of public funding for kidney care, lower the cost of KRT and increase workforces should be a high priority in low-resource nations, while strategies that expand access to kidney care and maintain current status of care should be prioritized in high-income countries. In all countries, the perspectives of people with CKD should be exhaustively explored to identify core kidney care priorities.

Serum Prestin and Otolin-1 Levels in Pilots of Helicopter-Based Emergency Medical Services: Potential Markers for Ear Injury.

Occupational noise exposure is a major public health concern, impacting a large workforce worldwide. In this study, we sought to evaluate the serum concentrations of prestin, a cochlear protein that diminishes following noise exposure, and otolin-1, a protein secreted into the bloodstream subsequent to inner ear damage, among three diverse professional categories, each exposed to varying degrees of noise. Helicopter emergency medical service (HEMS) pilots and construction workers were considered high-risk groups due to their elevated exposure to occupational noise, whereas office workers were regarded as a low-risk group, reflecting their comparatively minimal noise exposure. The study sample included 60 males, encompassing helicopter pilots, construction laborers, and office workers (n=20, each). Recruitment occurred during standard occupational health visits, with all participants presenting normal clinical audiograms. Serum levels of prestin and otolin-1 were measured in duplicate using commercially available immunoassays and compared across the three professional categories. HEMS pilots had the lowest mean serum prestin level at 211±27 pg/mL, followed by construction workers at 234±29 pg/mL, and office workers at 269±42 pg/mL (p<0.001, one-way analysis of variance), with all inter-group differences statistically significant (p<0.05, Tukey'spost hoctests). For otolin-1, HEMS pilots showed the highest mean at 216±20 pg/mL, with construction workers at 196±22 pg/mL, and office workers at 181±20 pg/mL (p<0.001, one-way analysis of variance). Statistically significant differences were found between HEMS pilots and both other groups for otolin-1 levels (p<0.05, Tukey'spost hoctests), but not between construction workers and office workers. Serum concentrations of prestin and otolin-1 may differ among healthy individuals according to their occupational noise exposure and have the potential to act as indicators of subclinical inner ear injury. To substantiate these preliminary observations, incorporating exposure assessment, especially via direct measurements of noise and vibration exposure, would markedly improve the reliability of our findings.

Assessing the Impact of Population Dynamics in Kenya: A Need for Policy Implementation

Population dynamics significantly influence various aspects of a country’s development, including economic growth, social progress, and environmental sustainability. In Kenya, population dynamics have been a critical factor shaping the country’s development agenda. This abstract aims to assess the impact of population dynamics in Kenya and the need for policy implementation. The relationship between population growth and economic development is complex and multifaceted. While an increasing population may fuel economic growth through a larger workforce, it simultaneously exerts pressure on essential resources and services. This paper examines the trends and implications of population growth in Kenya, a country characterized by a high fertility rate, and assesses its impact on economic dynamics. By analyzing the challenges posed by this demographic trend, the study elucidates the significant influence of population on Kenya's economy. Furthermore, it delves into the strategies implemented by the Kenyan government to mitigate adverse effects and proposes additional measures for sustainable development. Through this investigation, the paper aims to provide a comprehensive understanding of the interplay between population growth and economic stability in Kenya, highlighting the necessity for effective policy interventions.
