Impact of medical school responses during the COVID-19 pandemic on student satisfaction: a nationwide survey of US medical students.

PurposeMedical schools have faced various challenges in preparing their clinical students for the frontlines of a pandemic. This study investigated medical students’ satisfaction with their institutions during the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic with the intention of guiding educators in future public health crises.MethodsIn this cross-sectional study surveying students in clinical rotations, the primary outcome was overall satisfaction regarding medical schools’ responses to the pandemic, and the four secondary outcomes were school communication, exposure to COVID-19, availability of personal protective equipment, and access to COVID-19 testing.ResultsThe survey was distributed to ten medical schools, of which 430 students responded for a response rate of 13.0%. While most students were satisfied (61.9%, n=266) with their schools’ response, more than one in five (21.9%, n=94) were dissatisfied. Among the four secondary outcomes, communication with students was most predictive of overall satisfaction.ConclusionIn future crises, schools can best improve student satisfaction by prioritizing timely communication.

Determinants of compliance to occupational health and safety measures in construction sites in Kampala Central Division, Kampala city, Uganda

The study examined the determinants of compliance to safety and health measures in construction sites in Kampala Central Division, Uganda. Questionnaires containing information relating to safety and health measures at the sites were administered randomly to the construction workers selected from four (4) selected building sites across the division. The results revealed that there was a 95% level of compliance to safety and health measures which is considered an unacceptable standard and requires attention in the short term according to the scale developed by MBSAT, among the building construction workers in the division. It was also established that there were no personal determinants that affected compliance to safety and health measures within the division as all of them were found to be statistically insignificant. This indicated that none of the personal determinants is a significant predictor of compliance (at 5% level of significance). The results further revealed that there was a significant association between three organizational determinants of compliance: adequacy of legislation, availability of personal protective equipment (PPE) and availability of standard operating procedures (SOPs) or policy. This proved that there is an association between personal and organizational determinants of compliance to occupational safety in construction sites in Kampala Central Division (at 5% level of significance). However in practice this means there is no one single factor which can determine compliance but a combination of factors of which the organizational factors are more significant in compliance than personal determinants.

Procurement of personal protective equipment in national health insurance patient services during the Covid-19 pandemic at Bahteramas Regional public service agency hospital Southeast Sulawesi Province, Indonesia

Currently, the incidence of morbidity and mortality due to the Covid-19 disease outbreak in Indonesia is still quite high, with the intensity of transmission being very fast in the community. The occurrence of contact between patients and health workers becomes very vulnerable to the emergence of illness and death in health workers. The importance of the use and availability of personal protective equipment (PPE) in hospitals needs to be continuously pursued. The purpose of the study was to determine the supply of personal protective equipment for the service of national health insurance patients during the Covid-19 pandemic at the Bahteramas Regional Public Service Agency (RPSA) Hospital, Southeast Sulawesi Province. This type of qualitative research with a case study approach. The study was conducted at the Bahteramas RPSA Hospital, Southeast Sulawesi Province, Kendari City, with the reason that this hospital is a referral center for Covid-19 patient services. The informants in the study consisted of 3 regular informants and 6 key informants. Data was collected using observation, document review and in-depth interviews. Data analysis is done by matrix Content Analysis. The results of the study show that the procurement of PPE for Hospitals is carried out through E-catalogs and direct procurement. The vacancy of PPE is caused by internal factors where the hospital procurement party minimizes stock procurement as needed with evaluations carried out every month. Evaluation is carried out to determine the availability of sufficient stock until the deadline for the next PPE purchase, but if the stock is insufficient then the purchase of PPE can be made before the stock period is empty. The external factor causing the stock vacancy is caused by the delay in the distribution of PPE. Conclusion: Procurement of supplies for PPE needs for RPSA Hospitals, apart from making their own procurement from the hospital, also borrows and requests assistance from related agencies. The availability of hospital PPE is influenced by internal factors and external factors. Suggestion; The Hospital Logistics Section should always monitor the procurement of PPE to ensure the availability of PPE is still met as needed.

The Impact of the First Wave of the COVID-19 Pandemic on Healthcare Workers: An Italian Retrospective Study.

Healthcare workers (HCWs) played an essential role in managing the COVID-19 pandemic. The Italian Workers’ Compensation Authority (INAIL) and the Italian National Institute of Health (ISS) developed a retrospective study to analyze and understand trends and characteristics of infections among HCWs during the first wave of the pandemic. Between May and September 2020, Italian Regions retrospectively collected anonymous data regarding HCWs infected from the beginning of the pandemic until 30 April 2020 from their administrative sources through a questionnaire asking for socio-demographic and occupational information about the characteristics of contagion and disease outcome. Almost 16,000 valid questionnaires were received. Logistic regression was performed to ascertain the effect of age, gender, geographical macro area, profession, and pre-existing health conditions on the likelihood of HCWs developing more severe forms of COVID-19 (at least hospitalization with mild symptoms). All predictor variables were statistically significant. HCWs at higher risk of developing a more severe disease were males (OR: 1.90; 95% CI: 1.44–2.51), older than 60 years of age (OR: 6.00; 95% CI: 3.30–10.91), doctors (OR: 4.22; 95% CI: 2.22–9.02), working in Lombardy (OR: 55.24; 95% CI: 34.96–87.29) and with pre-existing health conditions (OR: 1.90; 95% CI: 1.43–2.51). This study analyses the main reasons for the overload put on the National Health Service by the first wave of the pandemic and the risk of infection for HCWs by age, gender, occupational profile and pre-existing health conditions. Improved knowledge, availability of personal protective equipment (PPE) and a tight vaccination campaign for HCWs strongly changed the trend of infections among HCWs, with substantial elimination of serious and fatal cases.

Access to Essential Personal Safety, Availability of Personal Protective Equipment and Perception of Healthcare Workers During the COVID-19 in Public Hospital in West Shoa.

IntroductionThe pandemic of coronavirus disease-2019 has fundamentally changed the physician–patient relationship due to health care workers’ being at high risk of getting COVID-19 infection from their patients. Therefore, healthcare workers are a priority to be protected and prevent transmission within a healthcare setting.ObjectiveTo assess the actual and perceived personal safety of healthcare workers practicing in public hospitals.Methods and MaterialsA descriptive cross-sectional study design was done among 361 health professionals in West Shoa. A simple random sampling technique was used to select representative respondents. Data was collected by a pretested, self-administered questionnaire. The collected data was entered into EPI-Info and exported to STATA for analysis. Descriptive statistics were used to present the data.ResultsA total of 361 healthcare workers responded to the question with a 97% response rate. The median age of the study participants was 29. Of the total participants, access to personal protective equipment was: hand sanitizer 322 (89.2%), disposable gloves 285 (78.9%), face mask 280 (77.6%), KN95 face mask 163 (45.2%) and facial protective shields 112 (31%). One hundred sixty-nine (46.8%) of the study participants reported that their hospital has personal safety policies and procedures. One hundred sixty-one (44%) reported that they perceived no support, while only 35 (9.7%) participants reported that they perceived full support from their hospital. Furthermore, the participants perceived that their local concerned bodies took fewer necessary measurements to defend physical integrity in the workplace (mean 2.86 SD = 3.34).ConclusionThere are many healthcare workers who have limited access to the majority of essential PPE. The majority of study participants perceived limited support from their health facilities, hospitals and local concerned bodies. Therefore, hospitals and local public health authorities should increase access to PPE to protect healthcare workers.

Enablers and barriers towards ensuring routine immunization services during the COVID-19 pandemic: findings from a qualitative study across five different states in India.

BackgroundThe coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic has led to disruption in delivering routine healthcare services including routine immunization (RI) worldwide. Understanding the enablers and barriers for RI services during a pandemic is critically important to develop context-appropriate strategies to ensure uninterrupted routine services.MethodsA community-based, cross-sectional descriptive study was conducted in five different states of India, nested within an ongoing multicentric study on RI. Telephone in-depth interviews among 56 health workers were carried out and the data were analyzed using a content analysis method.ResultsDuring the COVID-19 pandemic, healthcare providers encountered many challenges at the health system, community and individual level when rendering RI services. Challenges like the limited availability of personal protective equipment and vaccines, deployment for COVID-19 duty at system level, the difficulty in mobilizing people in the community, fear among people at community level, mobility restrictions and limited family support, as well as the stress and stigma at individual level, were barriers to providing RI services. By contrast, the issuing of identification cards to health staff, engaging community volunteers, the support given to health workers by their families and training on COVID-19, were factors that enabled health workers to maintain RI services during the pandemic.ConclusionsWhen addressing the COVID-19–related public health emergency, we should not lose sight of the importance of services like RI.

Risk Perception and Behavioral Response of Teachers to COVID-19 in Southern Ethiopia, 2021.

IntroductionCoronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) is an infectious illness which was first identified in Wuhan China. The mode of transmission of COVID-19 is mainly from person-to-person by respiratory transmission and from contact with contaminated surfaces. Teachers may have a significant higher number of social interactions than other professions, putting them at greater risk of contracting the virus.ObjectiveThe aim of this study was to assess the risk perception and behavioral response of teachers to COVID-19 in Gamo zone, Southern Ethiopia.MethodsThe study was conducted in Gamo zone from February to march, 2021. An Institution-based-cross sectional study design was employed and multi stage sampling technique was utilized to select 634 study participants. The data were collected using Kobo collect survey tool through interviewer administered questionnaire. The data were analyzed by SPSS version 25. Both bivariable and multivariable logistic regression models were fitted to identify factor associated with risk perception and behavioral response. Odds ratio with 95% confidence interval was computed to determine the level of significance; in multivariable analysis, variables with a P value less than 0.05 with 95% confidence interval were considered as statistically significant.ResultsAbout 79.1% and 75.1% of the teachers had high risk perception and good protective behavior, respectively. Having children ((AOR=1.84, 95% CI: 1.15–2.94), COVID-19 update (AOR=3.7, 95% CI: 1.66–8.59) and good protective behavior (AOR= 1.98, 95% CI: 1.18–3.34) were associated with high risk perception. On the other hand, educational status (AOR=9.42, 95% CI: 4.94–17.96) and availability of personal protective equipment (AOR=5.85, 95CI:2.27–15.02) were associated with good protective behavior.ConclusionAlthough majority of the teachers had good protective behavior, some protective measures were not frequently adopted. There were few individuals who had low risk perception; this could be a potential cause for the occurrence of school outbreak. Therefore, the stakeholder should provide adequate resource and training on COVID-19 to enhance their risk perception and to promote adoption of protective methods.

UK oral surgeons' early response to the COVID‐19 pandemic and impact on patient care

IntroductionCoronavirus disease (COVID‐19) was declared a global pandemic on 11 March 2020, and all routine dental care in England was suspended on 25 March 2020. Oral surgeons typically continued their roles due to the requirement of surgical expertise in the management of urgent care.AimsTo survey the British Association of Oral Surgeons' membership of 654 exploring the impact and response of the speciality in the early phase of the pandemic.MethodsBritish Association of Oral Surgeons members were invited to participate in a weekly online survey commencing 30th March 2020 for 4 weeks. Themes explored included demographics, Personal Protective Equipment (PPE), clinical role and care provided, and financial impact.Results400 responses were received over the 4‐week period. Telephone advice was rapidly introduced ahead of clinical examinations. Few oral surgeons were initially able to provide emergency oral surgery procedures or clinical examinations due to PPE shortage. Only a small proportion of oral surgeons were required themselves to isolate and only a small proportion were redeployed.ConclusionThe COVID‐19 pandemic severely disrupted UK oral surgery services particularly in the early stage and highlight the lack of preparedness. As availability of PPE and evidence on aerosol‐generating procedures and infection control became more readily accessible, surgeons became more confident to provide emergency surgical treatment rather than just phone consultations. The impact on patients' oral health is likely to have been profound.

An assessment of infection prevention and control preparedness of healthcare facilities in Nigeria in the early phase of the COVID-19 pandemic (February-May 2020).

BackgroundInfection prevention and control (IPC) activities play a large role in preventing the transmission of SARS-CoV-2 in healthcare settings. This study describes the state of IPC preparedness within health facilities in Nigeria during the early phase of coronavirus disease (COVID-19) pandemic.MethodsWe carried out a cross sectional study of health facilities across Nigeria using a COVID-19 IPC checklist adapted from the U.S Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. The IPC aspects assessed were the existence of IPC committee and teams with terms of reference and workplans, IPC training, availability of personal protective equipment and having systems in place for screening, isolation and notification of COVID-19 patients. Existence of the assessed aspects was regarded as preparedness in that aspect.ResultsIn total, 461 health facilities comprising, 350 (75.9%) private and 111 (24.1%) public health facilities participated. Only 19 (4.1%) health facilities were COVID-19 treatment centres with 68% of these being public health facilities. Public health facilities were better prepared in the areas of IPC programme with 69.7% of them having an IPC focal point versus 32.3% of private facilities. More public facilities (59.6%) had an IPC workplan versus 26.8% of private facilities. Neither the public nor the private facilities were adequately prepared for triaging, screening, and notifying suspected cases, as well as having trained staff and equipment to implement triaging.ConclusionsThe results highlight the need for government, organisations and policymakers to establish conducive IPC structures to reduce the risk of COVID-19 transmission in healthcare settings.

Personal protection equipment for orthopaedic and trauma surgery during the COVID-19 pandemic: The results of an EFORT survey initiative.

Orthopaedic and trauma surgeons performing surgery in the COVID-19 pandemic environment faced problems with availability, use, rationing, modification, compliance and recycling of personal protection equipment (PPE).Orthopaedic and trauma surgeons were not well informed concerning the use of PPE for aerosol-generating orthopaedic and trauma procedures.Scientific bodies, health authorities and management have provided insufficient guidelines for the use of PPE in aerosol-generating orthopaedic and trauma procedures.The availability of specific PPE for orthopaedic and trauma operating theatres is low.Hospital management and surgeons failed to address the quality of operating theatre ventilation or to conform to recommendations and guidelines.Operating theatre PPE negatively affected surgical performance by means of impaired vision, impaired communication, discomfort and fatigue.Existing PPE is not adequately designed for orthopaedic and trauma surgery, and therefore, novel or modified and improved devices are needed.

FACTORS ASSOCIATED WITH BURNOUT AMONG NURSES DURING COVID-19 PANDEMIC: A SCOPING REVIEW

The current COVID-19 pandemic has become a serious threat and difficult challenge for global health. This detrimental condition increases nurses' workload, the risk of fatigue and can cause stress on nurses that can induce burnout. Untreated burnout must be examined thoroughly because it can lead to a decrease of nurses’ performance and prompted to nursing errors that will affect the quality of health services and patient care outcomes. However study related to nursing burnout is still rarely performed. This scoping review aimed to identify several factors related to burnout in nurses during the COVID-19 pandemic. This study was conducted between January-March 2021 by searching and analyzing all eligible studies from several electronic databases including ProQuest, Science Direct, Scopus, and Springer Link for related articles published from 2019 to 2021. The following terms were used in the search: burnout, nursing burnout, cause of nursing burnout, and COVID-19. A systematic process using The Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and a Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) guideline were carried out in the review process. A total of 10 article journals were finally selected of 343 studies. Sociodemographic factors (female, marriage, having child, education qualification, age, and ethnicity), psychological factors (depression, stress, anxiety, resilience, and self-efficacy), and also occupational factors (workload, job demands, working environment, working as a front line worker, direct contact with a COVID-19 patient, availability of personal protective equipment, and salary) were identified as factors that influenced burnout syndrome among nurses during the COVID-19 pandemic.
