Dynamics of complex indicators of assessment of palliative care provided: a study of 2021-2022

The purpose of this work is to assess the subjective perception of satisfaction of palliative care users. Materials and methods. The material for the analysis was the results of a sociological survey of palliative care users over the age of 18, conducted in September-October 2022 by personal interviews at the place of residence of representatives of these target groups. A pilot study was previously conducted: 10 diagnostic expert interviews with representatives of the professional community and public organizations related to palliative care in the Russian Federation: and a pilot study of the developed questionnaires with the participation of 100 respondents. The study also carried out the calculation of complex indicators to calculate their subsequent dynamics. Results. According to the results of the survey, complex indicators of the importance of the main parameters of the PMP were calculated for 9 main blocks. The study showed that the comprehensive assessment of the work of medical personnel in the provision of PMP increased by 7,1% – from 7,4 points in 2021 to 7,9 points on a 9-point scale in 2022. The increase in the regularity of rounds by the attending/on-duty doctor during hospital stay and the fact that the same medical worker conducted the observation was particularly strongly influenced by the growth of the comprehensive assessment (the increase in the parameter estimate was 11,3%). The study also showed that from the point of view of patients, the speed of providing PMP has significantly increased, the complex indicator for this block of issues has increased by 14,8% over the past year. The study also revealed an increase in patient satisfaction with awareness of the treatment process, it increased from 5,8 points in 2021 to 6,2 points in 2022, with the maximum possible number of points – 7. The patients especially appreciated the openness of medical workers in obtaining information about their condition and information about the qualifications of medical personnel. Of course, the complex indicator of satisfaction with the parameters of personal participation of patients in the organization of PMP gave a positive trend in all components. There is a positive dynamic in the assessment of patients with a comprehensive indicator of satisfaction with social and spiritual aspects of treatment, its growth was mainly provided by such components as professional psychological assistance and the opportunity to communicate with representatives of the clergy. Conclusion. The results of the survey of palliative care recipients demonstrate a high level of satisfaction of respondents with all parameters of palliative care. Comprehensive assessment parameters allow us to assess the dynamics of the main areas of assessment of the quality of PMP from the point of view of patients and cover all the main areas of palliative care, they allow us to track changes in their values over time, as well as to calculate them in the context of various groups of citizens, target audiences, and most importantly, to determine the development potential of a particular parameter of the quality of PMP.

A straightforward method for determination of the sevoflurane metabolite hexafluoroisopropanol in urinary occupational medical samples by headspace-gas chromatography mass spectrometry

Biological monitoring of the unmodified sevoflurane and its metabolite hexafluoroisopropanol (HFIP) in urine samples was proposed to determine the individual exposure levels of the medical staff. In this study, a method for simultaneous determination of both compounds in urine using static headspace–gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (HS–GC–MS) was developed. The method is linear over a broad concentration range from 1 to 1000 µg/L (r2 > 0.999) and shows high precision. Limits of quantification (LOQ) are 0.6 µg/L for sevoflurane and 3 µg/L for HFIP, representing an excellent sensitivity without the necessity of analyte enrichment. The method was successfully applied in a German pilot-study to monitor both compounds in samples from medical personnel working in operating theatres. Urinary concentrations of HFIP ranged between < LOQ and 145 µg/L, while sevoflurane was below the LOD in all samples.

Standard operating procedures

A standard operating procedure is a document containing step-by-step instructions that personnel must follow when performing any medical procedure (therapeutic, diagnostic, sanitary-epidemiological, preventive, etc.). Standard operating procedures allow unifying the process regardless of who performs it, standardizing the methodology, and ensuring high accuracy, reproducibility, and consistency in the work of medical personnel. The quality of the work performed ultimately depends on how competently this document is drawn up, and how fully all the nuances of a particular medical procedure are taken into account. It does not matter what area of activity this technique covers — standardization is necessary in any process, from cleaning the premises to complex diagnostic measures using high-tech equipment.

Анализ практического опыта разработки и внедрения стандартных операционных процедур в деятельность среднего медицинского персонала.

The article addresses issues of quality of care and the implementation of standard operating protocols (SOPs) to improve patient safety. As part of the “High 5’s” project, WHO developed SOPs to address 5 priority patient safety issues, which were implemented in 5 countries around the world. In Russia, the implementation of SOPs is closely related to the performance of functional responsibilities of nursing specialists, who play an important role in improving the quality of medical care, including patient care. The main functions of SOPs for nurses are training medical personnel, conducting examinations and assessing the quality of care provided, planning measures to improve the provision of medical care, protecting the rights of patients and staff when resolving controversial and conflict situations. The article also discusses the implementation of standard operating procedures (SOPs) to improve patient safety and analyzes the experience of developing and implementing SOPs for nurses in public medical organizations in Tambov. The introduction of standard operating procedures (SOPs) into the work of nursing staff can improve the quality of work and reduce the risk of errors. A survey of nurse practitioners found that the most requested SOPs were the prevention of healthcare-associated infections and nursing procedures. The main requirements for the drafters of SOPs are a deep understanding of processes and manipulations, the ability to analyze risks and knowledge of the regulatory framework and reference literature. In general, the implementation of SOPs is an effective tool for improving the quality of work of medical personnel and ensuring patient safety. In general, the implementation of SOPs is an effective tool for improving the quality of work of medical personnel and ensuring patient safety. The results obtained can be used to develop new SOPs and improve existing ones, as well as to train medical personnel and improve their skills.

Evaluation of the effects of hyperbaric on human attention functions based on eye movements recorded using an infrared camera.

This study aimed to assess the influence of elevated atmospheric pressure on the functions of attention of medical personnel working in hyperbaric chambers. We enrolled 15 participants who met the inclusion criteria. The test consisted of performing the same medical procedure under 2 conditions. For each of these test conditions, right eye movements were recorded using an oculograph. The obtained results revealed a relationship between elevated atmospheric pressure and the ability of medical personnel to focus. To assess the influence of hyperbaric oxygen (HBO2) on visual attention in medical personnel during medical activities performed under normobaric (1 absolute atmosphere (1 ATA)) and hyperbaric (4 ATA) conditions inside a hyperbaric chamber. Each participant had a valid license to act as a medical attendant during therapeutic hyperbaric sessions. Fifteen individuals, 10 men and 5 women aged between 28 and 65 years, participated in the study. The participants were asked to perform a medical procedure involving the preparation of a syringe with a drug administered by an infusion pump under 2 test conditions: 1 ATA corresponding to the atmospheric pressure on land, and 4 ATA corresponding to an underwater depth of 30 m. The order of test conditions was random. Both test conditions were performed inside a hyperbaric chamber. The number of fixations in the area of interest (AOI) varied between stages (1, 2 and 3) and task conditions (1 ATA and 4 ATA), with lower values for the 4 ATA condition. Under 1 ATA, 30% of eye fixations were in the AOI, as compared to only 6% under 4 ATA. The obtained results indicate that elevated atmospheric pressure has negative effects on the attention of medical personnel.

Talent management and job satisfaction of medical personnel in Polish healthcare entities.

There is a mass exodus of qualified medical personnel in countries such as Poland. As a result, it is becoming increasingly important to study the satisfaction of medical personnel employed in public healthcare entities and the factors influencing this satisfaction. One such factor is the quality of talent management. The study aimed to assess the quality of talent management in Polish healthcare entities and its impact on the job satisfaction of medical personnel. The study also considered the impact of other demographic, organizational and behavioral factors on medical personnel satisfaction, such as social competencies, job mobility, orientation toward the patient, gender and education stage. A questionnaire for healthcare professionals was used to collect data. A total of 747 respondents (506 defined as medical talent) participated in the survey. A 5-point Likert scale was adopted to assess job satisfaction and talent management practices. Reliability analysis was conducted to investigate the properties of this scale and the items that comprise it. The data was analyzed using descriptive statistics and structural equation modeling. The survey showed that the quality of talent management in Polish healthcare institutions is not well assessed. Professional satisfaction of medical personnel working in Polish public healthcare entities depends mainly on talent management measured by talent motivation, talent development, employee appraisal and organizational culture. Among the factors that have a positive but smaller impact on job satisfaction are job mobility and the education stage. The impact of gender, patient orientation and social competence had the smallest but most significant impact on job satisfaction. Healthcare organizations should improve their talent management strategy to meet healthcare professionals' current and future demands and improve their job satisfaction.

Gambaran Budaya Kerja Organisasi Terhadap Adaptasi Rekam Medis Elektronik dalam Pelayanan Kesehatan di Rumah Sakit

Electronic Medical Records (EMR) have become a vital system aimed at enhancing the efficiency of patient data management in hospitals. EMR is not just an innovation but a necessity that all healthcare services in Indonesia must adhere to, aligning with the targets set forth in the National Medium-Term Development Plan (RPJMN). In this context, several supportive factors play a pivotal role in EMR implementation, including organizational work culture, human resources, infrastructure, governance, and leadership. This research aimed to provide insight into hospital preparedness in the context of organizational work culture to ensure the smoother implementation of EMR. The research employed a quantitative approach with descriptive analysis. The research subjects were medical record personnel working in hospitals, with data collected from 15 hospitals of various types in the East Java region. The results of this study highlight several critical aspects of organizational work culture that influence EMR implementation, including training, socialization, mentoring, commitment, support from medical record personnel, and an understanding of how technology can enhance service quality. Nevertheless, the research also identified a prevailing perception that EMR is merely an Information Technology project, which could act as a potential hindrance to successful implementation. This research served as a reminder to hospitals about the importance of paying attention to these aspects as part of comprehensive preparations for EMR implementation. Consequently, it is anticipated that EMR implementation can proceed more efficiently and effectively, delivering greater benefits to patients and overall healthcare service delivery.

Problems of personnel irradiation in modern medical technologies

BACKGROUND: The widespread use of radiation sources in medical practice (cardio-endovascular surgery, endoscopy, traumatology, urology, neurosurgery, dentistry, and radioisotope diagnostics departments) leads to irradiation of the lens of the eye and the skin of the hands. The introduction of new recommendations by the IAEA to reduce the limit of the annual equivalent dose to the lens (20 mSv) has led to an inaccurate dose assessment based on the effective dose.&#x0D; AIM: To analyze approaches and assess equivalent doses of irradiation of the lens of the eye and skin of the hands of medical personnel during various diagnostic studies under the influence of X-rays and radiopharmaceuticals studies and to compare the results obtained with previously published data.&#x0D; MATERIALS AND METHODS: Thermo-luminescent dosimetry was used. Dose assessment was performed by cardio-endovascular surgery, endoscopy, isotope diagnostics, dentistry, and urology personnel.&#x0D; RESULTS: The estimated annual equivalent doses to the lens of the eye for doctors of cardio-endovascular surgery departments, in most cases, ranging 3590 mSv, 619 mSv for the average medical staff (in some cases, the doctor [225 mSv] and the nurse [180 mSv]) and 4.59 mSv for the staff of the department of radioisotope diagnostics. The annual calculated equivalent doses to the skin of the hands for cardio-endovascular surgery personnel were 17100 and 24220 mSv for the staff working with radiopharmaceuticals. It is shown that the use of an estimate of the average dose per operation by cardio-endovascular surgery doctors, as a rule, inevitably leads to an excess of the equivalent dose to the lens of the eye after a certain number of operations.&#x0D; CONCLUSION: When a certain number of operations are exceeded (100200), equivalent doses to the eyes lens in cardio-endovascular surgery doctors above 20 mSv per year can be formed. At current radiation levels, a lesion of the eyes lens was found in a cardio-endovascular surgery doctor. The results indicate the need for further dosimetric measurements and epidemiological studies, based on which recommendations for radiation protection of the eyes lens and the skin of the hands of medical personnel working in low-intensity, scattered, gamma X-ray radiation can be developed.

THE PREVALENCE AND PREDICTORS OF DEPRESSION AND ANXIETY AMONG EMERGENCY MEDICAL SERVICES PERSONNEL

This study aimed to determine the prevalence and predictors of depression and anxiety among emergency medical services personnel at the Liaquat University of Medical &amp; Health Sciences (LUMHS). The study was conducted over the course of one year, from December 2021 to December 2022, and involved a sample size of 120 participants. The study used a cross-sectional design, and data was collected using a self-administered questionnaire that assessed depression and anxiety symptoms, as well as demographic and job-related factors. The questionnaire was distributed to all emergency medical services personnel working in LUMHS, and participation in the study was voluntary. Data collected was analyzed using descriptive statistics to determine the prevalence of depression and anxiety among emergency medical services personnel in LUMHS. Logistic regression analysis was used to identify predictors of depression and anxiety, including demographic and job-related factors such as age, gender, years of service, and job stressors. The results showed that the prevalence of depression and anxiety among emergency medical services personnel in LUMHS was 45% and 50%, respectively. Logistic regression analysis revealed that older age, female gender, long years of service, and higher job stressors were significant predictors of depression and anxiety. These findings provided valuable information about the mental health status of emergency medical services personnel in LUMHS, highlighting the need for interventions and support services to address the high prevalence of depression and anxiety in this population. The study contributed to the growing body of research on mental health in the workplace, particularly in high-stress occupations such as emergency medical services and underscored the importance of addressing the mental health needs of this vulnerable population.

Ideational Meaning and Visual Aspect Relations in Virginia Allum’s Videos to Teach English for Nursing

English for Nursing (ENP) focuses on developing the need for English, which can support medical personnel's work and fulfill professional assessment needs. Learning English from many media, one of them through video, can give nursing students experience about their work in the real world by studying what the video presents. This recent study aims to explain the realization of ideational meaning and its relations to visual aspect as the semiotic systems in English for Nurses Videos. This study was a qualitative study that used discourse analysis. The data were taken from conversation text and captured images on the three videos on Virginia Allum’s YouTube channel. This study implemented multimodal analysis to observe the ideational meaning as the linguistic and visual aspects of the videos. The ideational meaning was analyzed using SFL to later look for its relationship with the visual aspect. This study found that ideational meaning and visual aspects are related to their video presentation. The type of process is dominated by 77 relational processes, 37 actors, and 11 manner as the circumstance. Visual aspects indicate the characteristics following the themes surrounding the hospital, health, and the identity of the nursing profession itself. Ideas and visuals support each other because they simultaneously provide experience to the viewer through the video being watched without the viewer doing the action themselves. This study suggested that lecturers and students can consider this study’s result to improve the use of videos as multimodal text to support teaching learning activities in English for Nursing.

The COVID-19 pandemic impact on the Polish medical personnel work: a survey and in-depth interviews study.

The objective of the study was to examine the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the work of medical personnel in terms of: task scope, preparation to perform medical tasks related to the pandemic, team collaboration, involvement in tasks performed, concerns about performing tasks related to the pandemic, stress levels. The mixed-method approach was applied to this cross-sectional study. The online questionnaire which included 40 questions was completed via Google among medical personnel in Poland. Eight semi-structured, in-depth interviews were conducted to deepen the data obtained with the questionnaires. The questionnaire was completed by 215 healthcare professionals, with the largest group being nurses (56.3%) followed by physicians (22.3%), midwives (11.6%) and other healthcare professionals (e.g., physiotherapists, paramedics, nutritionists - 9.8%). Among the respondents were people who worked in the hospital in the so-called "covid wards" (31.2%) and other hospital wards (60%) as well as people who were employed outside the hospital (8.8%). The pandemic affected the nature and range of tasks performed by health professionals. Initially, respondents felt unprepared to work under pandemic conditions, but over time their ratings increased in all areas studied. More than half of respondents reported no change in interpersonal relationship within the team, but nearly 35% noted a worsening and only one in 10 claimed improvement. Study participants rated their own commitment to tasks slightly higher than that of their colleagues (mean 4.9 and 4.4 respectively) but the overall rating was high. The mean self-rating of work stress increased from 3.7 before the pandemic to 5.1 during the pandemic. Most of the respondents were afraid of transmission of the infection to their relatives. Other fears included the possibility of making a medical error, not being able to help the patient, not having enough personal protective equipment (PPE) and contracting SARS-CoV-2. The conducted study revealed that the organization of medical care in the initial period of the pandemic, especially the hospital care of patients infected with SARS-CoV-2, was quite chaotic. The most affected were the people who were transferred to work in the covid wards. Not all medical professionals were prepared to work with the COVID-19 patients, as they lacked experience working in such facilities, especially in intensive care units (ICU). Working under time pressure and under new conditions led mainly to an increase in perceived stress and conflicts between staff.

UV Sterilization Biological Safety Cabinet

Abstract: In the past three years COVID-19 has been a major health concern. The World Health (WHO) Organization declared COVID-19 as a pandemic and WHO said that the chances of more pandemics happening in near future are very high. To avoid such pandemics basic safety measures, have to be taken seriously such as sanitization and sterilization. COVID-19 was identified to be transmitting through various mediums such as currencies, cards, daily household objects, medical supplies and etc. Things like PPE kit, surgical masks and N95 respirators are crucially important for the safety of patient and medical personnel working during the pandemic. Due to the pandemic the demandof safety kits outnumbered the supply and medical professionals were left to use the already used PPEkits. The primary goal of the Biological Safety Cabinet(BSC) is to sterilize things like medical equipment anddaily use objects. Ultraviolet (UV) light is used for the purpose of disinfection or sterilization of rooms and surfaces. UV-C has germicidal properties but it is also harmful for human beings. Hence, for the purpose of sterilization without human interference, a UV BSC has been designed to sterilize daily use objects and medical essentials.

The type of involuntary overtime and emotional exhaustion among Chinese medical staff: The mediating role of job stress and moderated mediation role of desire for control in Machiavellian leadership

Purpose: With the development of China's economy, China's medical level is also rising. Medical staff is constantly working overtime due to heavy workload, which can lead to emotional exhaustion in the long run. Therefore, it is necessary to reduce the level of emotional exhaustion of Chinese medical staff. Based on this question, this study used involuntary overtime (conformity/workload) of medical staff working in Chinese medical institutions as an independent variable, trying to explore which variables increased the level of emotional exhaustion of medical staff.&#x0D; Design/Methodology/Approach: This study also investigated the mediating effect of job stress and the moderated mediating role of the desire for control in Machiavellian leadership. To investigate these questions, this study surveyed 313 medical personnel working in Chinese medical institutions.&#x0D; Findings: The results showed that involuntary overtime (conformity/workload) had a positive effect on job stress. work stress had no significant effect on emotional exhaustion. Job stress has a positive effect on emotional exhaustion of Chinese medical staff.&#x0D; Conclusion: This study aimed to identify which variables increase the level of emotional exhaustion in healthcare workers and suggested how to reduce emotional exhaustion in health care workers based on the findings.&#x0D; Research Limitations/Implications: We conducted a cross-sectional study. In future research, to further clarify these results, longitudinal studies should be conducted around the time gap.&#x0D; Practical Implications: Due to the unique nature of medical work, medical staff generally have unhealthy living habits. The organization should therefore reasonably arrange overtime for medical staff and appropriately allocate their workload. Additionally, Organizations should focus on the work-family situation of medical staff, improve their work enthusiasm, and reduce the occurrence of job stress.&#x0D; Contribution to Literature: This research expends the research field of overtime work types and emotional exhaustion.
