Differences in and Factors Related to Willingness to Provide Care to Patients with Suspected or Confirmed COVID-19 in Long-Term Care Facilities.

The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic has exerted tremendous effects on the residents of and caregivers at long-term care facilities (LTCF). The combination of a vulnerable, aged population, staffing shortages, and inadequate resources in LTCF will cause a great negative impact in these sectors. Addressing the caregiver’s lack of interest in providing care for patients with COVID-19 is a great challenge for institutional managers. The primary objective of this study was to analyze the factors related to the willingness of personnel at LTCF to provide care to patients with COVID-19. This was a cross-sectional study in which personnel from 10 LTCF were recruited as participants through convenience sampling and completed structured questionnaires. A total of 500 questionnaires were distributed and 385 valid questionnaires were recovered, posting a response rate of 77%. A statistical analysis was performed using SPSS 22.0. The results of the survey revealed that only 30% of the participants were willing to provide care to patients with COVID-19; 23% more of the participants were willing to provide such care if their institutions provided sufficient PPE. Regarding other conditions, 31.5% and 76% of the participants expressed that they would be willing to provide such care if their compensation were increased and working hours were reduced. In the univariate analysis, the willingness of participants with different characteristics (job categories, years of holding a professional certificate, job location type, monthly income, experience with caring for patients with confirmed COVID-19, and completion of training related to communicable disease control) varied significantly (p < 0.05). Furthermore, in the logistic regression analysis, several demographic and professional characteristics (education level, job category, number of patients served daily, and monthly income) were significantly correlated with willingness to provide care to patients with COVID-19 (p < 0.05). On the basis of these findings, the LTCF should securitize the associated factors of care wiliness in personnel to eliminate the difference of the willingness to provide care to patients with suspected or confirmed COVID-19.

User acceptance of electronic health records: a post-implementation study

Health organisations have faced a challenge in the transition from paper-based archiving systems to electronic health record systems. The potential of new technologies exists if medical personnel accept the information system as part of their work routine. This paper analyses electronic health record system acceptance with a post-implementation study in a regional hospital in south-eastern Finland. Quantitative data was collected with a mail survey and it was analysed with partial least squares structural equation modelling. The results suggest that a system's complexity and problems with reliability negatively influence its usefulness and decrease the willingness of personnel to use the system. Indicated with perceived behavioural control, the personnel have the necessary abilities for system usage, and the control has no influence on usage intention or actual usage of the system.

Impact of Information Technology Reliance and Innovativeness on Rural Healthcare Services: Study of Dindigul District in Tamilnadu, India

The aim of this report was to analyze the influence of information technology (IT) applications and innovativeness on the acceptance of rural healthcare services. The impact of IT application, domain-specific innovativeness, and technology acceptance model (TAM) variables on future health IT (HIT) utilization intention has been tested through structural equation modeling techniques. The sample consisted of 465 rural health personnel from the Dindigul District of Tamilnadu, India, who had never had access to IT. Data analysis showed that health workers' innovativeness and IT application have a direct and positive influence on future HIT utilization intention and that the basic TAM hypotheses are fulfilled. IT application can be increased with interfaces that are easier to use, but only if perceived usefulness remains high. Health personnel's innovativeness positively influences technology exposure and the ease of use perception of the IT medium, referred to throughout this article as the "health channel." This research enables health departments to know which aspects of their communication strategies to highlight in order to get health personnel and other service providers to adopt IT. Perceived ease of use and IT application has a significant influence on health personnel's willingness to adopt HIT. This shows that health information and adoption by health personnel are key tools in the increase of future HIT. It is also recommended that health directors target some of their health campaigns to the more innovative beneficiaries. There are still too few studies that have analyzed the effects of innovativeness and IT adoption on behavior of health personnel. This work aimed to combine the influence of IT adoption, innovativeness, and the traditional TAM in order to construct an improved model for HIT acceptance. It will require an integrated model to do so.

Willingness to Respond: Of Emergency Department Personnel and Their Predicted Participation in Mass Casualty Terrorist Events

In May 2003, the TOPOFF 2 national disaster drill demonstrated inadequate preparedness for mass casualty terrorist events and failed to address the willingness of Emergency Department (ED) personnel to assist with these events. The objective of this study was to examine ED personnel willingness to respond to various multiple casualty events. A prospective voluntary survey of ED personnel from multiple hospitals was randomly administered in the form of vignette-based questionnaires. The survey of 204 participants at eight hospitals in the Chicago area revealed that staff members were more willing to work additional hours for victims of an airplane crash (98.0%), than for a radioactive bomb (85.3%), or a biologic agent (54.0%). For the biologic agent only, men were significantly more likely to respond than women. Hospital management should anticipate significant reductions in workforce during biologic and radioactive disaster events. Employees' willingness to respond was not augmented by any incentives offered by hospitals, although enhanced financial remuneration and disability coverage showed the most potential to increase response.

Health Food Stores' Recommendations for Nausea and Migraines During Pregnancy

Many pregnant women use dietary supplements during pregnancy; however, relatively scant information is available on the safety of these products. Consumers of dietary supplements often rely on employees of health food stores to provide recommendations. To evaluate recommendations made by health food store employees in the Phoenix metropolitan area regarding treatment of nausea/vomiting and migraines during pregnancy. Phone calls were made by a disguised shopper to 155 health food stores in the greater Phoenix area. The caller posed as a woman 8 weeks' pregnant asking for recommendations for treatment of nausea/vomiting and migraines. Responses and recommendations were recorded and then compared with current scientific evidence obtained during a search of the literature using MEDLINE (1966-September 2004) as to whether or not the supplements and the methods of their use during pregnancy were contraindicated. Eighty-nine percent of stores offered recommendations for nausea/vomiting, and 82% provided recommendations for migraines. The use of ginger was the most recommended therapy for nausea/vomiting. Only 3.6% of respondents recommended correct usage, but failed to supply the correct dosage and duration. A total of 15 of 278 (5%) recommendations, for both nausea/vomiting and migraines, were for products contraindicated in pregnancy. In light of the increased use of dietary supplements by women during pregnancy, the willingness of personnel in health food stores to make any recommendations should foster concerns by patients and healthcare providers alike. Use of dietary supplements contraindicated in pregnancy could cause significant harm to the mother and/or fetus. Studies are needed to address the need for more stringent guidelines regarding health food stores and their recommendations.

Willingness to respond: A survey of emergency department personnel and their predicted participation in mass casualty terrorist events

Study objectives: In May 2003, Topoff 2 national disaster drill demonstrated an overall inadequate preparedness for mass casualty terrorist events among participating hospitals. However, it failed to address the willingness of emergency department (ED) personnel to assist with these events. We examine ED personnel willingness to respond to various multiple casualty events.Methods: This was a prospective voluntary survey of ED personnel from multiple hospitals. Vignette-based questionnaires with 2 of 3 possible scenarios were randomly administered. All subjects received an airplane crash scenario and 1 of 2 other scenarios (biological agent or radiation exposure).Results: Preliminary results from 103 participants at 4 hospitals in the Chicago area reveal mean age of 33.7 years (SD 9.18), 54.4% of participants were female. Staff was more willing to work additional hours to care for victims of the airplane crash versus the other scenarios, with 98% response to the airplane crash, 76.4% response to radioactive bomb, and 60.9% response to a biologic agent. Age did not affect willingness to work. Overall, controlling for age, occupation, and parental status, male participants were willing to work on average 7.47 hours longer (95% confidence interval [CI] 1.18 to 13.76; P=.020). Respondents with children were willing to work the same number of hours as those without children (Diff=0.12 hours; 95% CI –3.32 to 6.57; P=.970).Conclusion: These results suggest that ED personnel were likely to respond, depending on the type of disaster. Sex was an important factor influencing this decision but not parental status. This study enables hospital disaster committees to realistically project staffing participation in mass casualty events.

The Effect of Test Selection on Title I Project Impact

(USOE) employees to respond to their perceptions of congressional intent, and (4) the willingness of personnel in state departments of education and local educational agencies to furnish evaluative data. Thus, I preface my discussion of technical analyses with some observations on related policy issues and, as most policy analysts would demand, provide an alternative to that portion of the RMC evaluation system I call into question. The genesis of this analysis is a small portion of the Education Amendments of 1974, Public Law 93-380. Section 151 was introduced by Rep. Victor Vesey as a floor amendment to House Bill 69 and was passed by the House without benefit of hearings or comment from the Administration or the public. In my judgment it contains a mixture of good and bad law that is reflected in the best and worst features of USOE's response to its provisions. Section (e) requires the Commissioner of Education to provide such technical and other assistance as may be necessary to State educational agencies to enable them to assist local educational agencies in the
