How to choose between single-use and reusable medical materials for sustainable nursing: Methodological lessons learned from a national study.

To demonstrate and reflect upon the methodological lessons by which healthcare organizations can address questions of environmental sustainability related to single-use healthcare materials. A cross-sectional multi-centre study in hospitals was performed, followed by an exploratory analysis of the sustainability of commonly used healthcare materials. A hospital survey was conducted to collect the procurement data for single-use medical materials. Based on consumption and cost, five single-use medical materials with sustainable alternatives were selected using different reuse strategies. Single-use and reusable materials were assessed through an exploratory literature review and document study based on four parameters: environmental sustainability, safety, cost and efficiency. A pragmatic method emerged from this study, providing healthcare facilities with tools to select environmentally sustainable alternatives to replace single-use options. First, an inventory of single-use medical materials consumed was collected. Next, single-use materials were prioritized for further study based on criteria such as cost, volume of the material, feasibility and input of stakeholders. We then analysed the prioritized single-use materials and their alternatives based on life cycle assessments or available information on their different life stages. Finally, we assessed safety, costs and efficiency related to the process following the use of the medical material. This pragmatic method can guide healthcare institutions in making the most sustainable choices of medical materials and achieving sustainability goals within their institutions and nationwide. Patient care involves a large consumption of single-use medical materials with considerable environmental impact. A pragmatic method was developed to guide healthcare institutions in making the most sustainable choices regarding the use of single-use healthcare materials. Healthcare institutions, ideally represented by a green team including nurses and other relevant professionals, can use this method to reduce the use of single-use medical materials, thereby yielding positive outcomes for the entire population. No patient or public contribution.

Patterns And Determinants of Utilizing In-Patient Medical Care in Uttar Pradesh and Kerala Across Public and Private Hospitals

The healthcare institutions in India providing inpatient medical care are broadly classified into public/government hospitals, private hospitals, and NGO/Charitable run hospitals. The state of Kerala predominantly had public hospitals for providing health care facilities right from its formation till the late 1980s. Since the 1990s private hospitals have outpaced public hospitals in terms of the number and availability of beds whereas Uttar Pradesh despite being largest state of the country its performance on health is very poor and always come low in the NITI Aayog index. Using the latest unit-level data from NSSO 75th round on Social Consumption: Health, the study examines the pattern and determinants of availing of inpatient medical care in Kerala and Uttar Pradesh across public and private hospitals and the expenditure differences involved. The study finds out that the proportion of people who are hospitalized in Kerala is much higher compared to the all-India average and 66 percent of those hospitalized are in the private sector. Socioeconomic factors determine the choice of a public or private hospital for inpatient care, with people belonging to the highest socioeconomic category depending more on the private sector but in both states lower income households are seeking treatment in the public hospitals.

Geographical distribution of emergency obstetric and neonatal care signal functions in Ethiopian health facilities: 2021–2022 Ethiopian service Provision Assessment (SPA)

BackgroundThe maternal mortality ratio in Ethiopia is still high, with an estimate of 412 deaths per 100,000 live births in 2016. Signal functions for emergency obstetric and neonatal care must be accessible and usable in order to successfully prevent maternal deaths. It is an important strategy to reduce maternal and newborn morbidity and mortality in countries with limited resources. Hence, an assessment of the availability of fully functioning EmONC services and their coverage per 500,000 people in Ethiopia is crucial.MethodsThis study is a retrospective analysis of data from the Ethiopian Service Provision Assessment Survey (ESPA), a national-level survey data source. Data collection for the survey took place from August 11, 2021, to February 4, 2022. For this investigation, 905 healthcare facilities in total were evaluated for the availability of emergency obstetric and new-born care (EmONC) services at all hospitals, selected health centers, and private clinics were evaluated. Descriptive data analysis was done by the using statistical package for social science version 26 (SPSS) to run frequency and cross-tabs. Global Positioning System (GPS) (arc map 10.8) Software was used for spatial distribution in order to locate the physical accessibility of EmONC providing health facilities on flat map surfaces. It was projected based on Ethiopia’s geographic coordinate system at Adindan UTM zone 370N.ResultsOf 905 health facilities, only 442 (49%) could provide fully functioning BEmONC, and 250 (27.6%) health facilities have been providing fully functioning CEmONC. The overall coverage of BEmONC ratios in Ethiopia is 1.5–3.77 per 500,000 population and CEmONC (0.83–2.1) per 500,000 populations. Regions such as Amhara, SNNPR and Addis Ababa had found to have high BEmONC ratio. The geographical distribution of the EmONC showed that the central areas of the country, such as southwest Shewa and east Shewa, the Oromia region, the northern areas of the South Nation, nationalities, and peoples regions (SNNPR), including the Gurage zone and the Wolaita-Soddo zone, and the middle areas in the Amhara region (west Gojjam or around Bahir Dar town), and the southern areas, Debra Tabor and Debre Birhane zones, all had greater access to facilities offering complete EmONC services.ConclusionComprehensive emergency obstetrics and neonatal care (CEmONC) in Ethiopia met WHO recommendations, despite basic emergency obstetric and neonatal care (BEmONC) falling below those standards in Ethiopia. There are extremely large disparities in the accessibility of both basic and comprehensive emergency obstetrics and neonatal care in Ethiopia. Thus, Strategic planning is needed to improve infrastructures and inputs for EmONC services, particularly in remote areas of the country. Additionally, private facilities ought to place a priority on the provision of these services.

Peran Cash Waqf Linked Sukuk (CWLS) dalam Pemerataan Ekonomi dan Kesejahteraan di Indonesia

Wakaf was the economic base of the Mamluk dynasty. Wakaf undergoes transformation with the needs of the times because wakaf has a higher value of flexibility compared to zakat, one of which is the use of productive wakafs, like money wakaf. One of the innovations of the money waqf is the presence of Cash Waqf Linked Sukuk where the urgency of the publication of CWLS among other things strengthens the financial economic capacity of the Shariah, strengthens management of the national wahaf institutions, supports the achievement of SDGs, and encourages social investment. This research uses a kind of library research method by gathering data from a variety of literature. The CWLS can prove that even though the wahaf value is not high, it still brings tremendous benefits. From the first publication of the Wakaf chapter to the present day, the CWLS results have contributed significantly to the economic sector or other sectors, such as post-pandemic economic recovery, development and provision of health facilities, empowerment of farmers, and various other tools programmes. CWLS could be a leading product in the future and a reserve for Indonesian economic development.

India’s Union Budget 2023—Healthcare allocation leaves much to be desired

ABSTRACT Healthcare is an imperative sector for India, considering the huge population in the country and the sub-par health facilities available to a majority of the country’s people. In this scenario, and given the havoc wreaked by the COVID-19 pandemic, owing to India’s lack of optimal healthcare infrastructure, a large part of the healthcare industry expected that India’s Union Budget 2023 would provide significant outlays for the sector. However, with the budgetary outlay for healthcare coming in at the 10th position from the top, this hope was severely dashed, leading to questions about the country’s interest in providing healthcare facilities to its people. This article discusses the various facets of the Union Budget, and the lack of focus on healthcare, while also delineating the reasons why budgetary focus on healthcare is imperative for a developing country like India. It has also brought forth potential solutions, such as a public–private partnership in healthcare, which could ensure increased access to healthcare, improved quality of healthcare, reduced costs, and enhanced innovation and research.

Health information needs of rural women in ilorin east local government area of Kwara State, Nigeria

The study assessed the health information needs of the rural women in Ilorin East Local Government Area of Kwara State, Nigeria. The study used primary data. The primary data were collected using structured questionnaire. Multistage sampling technique was use to select respondents for the study. A total number of eighty rural women were selected for the study. Data were analyzed using frequency, percentage, mean and Likert type rating scale. The result of the study revealed that the mean age of the respondents was 37.7 years, their average income was 27,637.50 Naira. The result revealed that majority (98.8 %) of respondents’ source of health information were radio/television (98.8%), Neighbors and friends (92.5%), drug hawkers (90.0%), family members (77.5%), local chemist shops (75.3%) and Doctors/Nurses (67.5%). The common health challenges in the study area are typhoid fever (40.0%), malaria (43.8%) and (28.8%) miscarriages. Also, the result identified that First aid treatment with a mean score (2.21), Drug/Pharmaceutical care information (2.20) and infant’s health care (2.10) were areas where the respondents highly needs health information. The result also reveals that Illiteracy (2.51) and low level of income (2.08), communication barrier (1.93), poor electricity (1.91) and poor attitude of health personnel (1.91) were some of problems preventing rural women from getting health information. The study concluded that there is information need among rural women in the study area. The study therefore recommends that for government to achieve its vision of good health for all, there is need for targeted policies in the areas of health information needs of rural women and there should be provision of health facilities in the rural areas by the government and donor agencies.

Peranan Camat dalam Pencegahan dan Pengendalian Corona Virus Disease (Covid-19) di Kecamatan Gido, Kabupaten Nias

Corona Virus Disease (Covid-19) is an epidemic that has an infectious nature. Covid - 19 first appeared in the city of Wuhan, Hubei Province, China and has spread to 190 countries in the world including Indonesia. Officially, WHO as the world health agency named this virus as Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome-related Coronavirus-2 (SARS_CoV-2) or Corona Virus Disease 2019 (Covid-19). The Covid-19 virus outbreak is known to have clinical symptoms in human respiration, even to the point of severity causing death. On March 14, 2020 the Indonesian government declared the Covid-19 outbreak a national disaster. As a result of the Covid-19 outbreak, the Indonesian government took strategic steps to prevent wider cases by issuing PSBB and PPKM policies. This policy aims to break the transmission rate of Covid-19. As an issue and problem, Covid-19 has also not escaped the attention of the Gido District government, so this study aims to find out the role of the sub-district head in preventing and controlling Corona Virus Disease (Covid-19) in Gido District, Nias Regency and to find out the obstacles experienced by the Head of Gido subdistrict in the prevention and control of Corona Virus Disease (Covid-19) in Gido District, Nias Regency. This researcher uses a qualitative method that is descriptive in nature, namely to provide a clear picture of the problem under study. Data collection techniques used are observation, interviews and documentation. The results showed that the role of the sub-district head in prevention and control was effective. This is marked by the activeness of the camat in providing advice and outreach and collaborating between various parties such as the Koramil and puskesmas as well as village government officials to jointly prevent the transmission of Covid-19 and provide health facilities for the community such as masks and hand sanitizers. The sub-district head also took firm action against immigrants to self-isolate. The sub-district head also plays a role in monitoring the process of recusing village funds to be diverted to communities affected by Covid-19 so that people can receive social assistance evenly. The inhibiting factor experienced by the sub-district head is that there are still many people who do not understand the dangers of Covid - 19 and the solution for this is that the sub-district head cooperates with the puskesmas to participate in explaining about Covid-19 and how it is transmitted as well as ways to prevent and overcome it.

Appalling pregnancy outcomes in flood-affected areas.

Respected Madam, Floods are one of the most common types of natural disasters leading to enormous morbidity and mortality in a developing country like Pakistan. Pakistan is ranked 9th among flood-affected countries worldwide and in 2022 floodwater has submerged over one-third of the country in water, killing over 1,000 and impacting 33 million people. (1) Flood-affected areas serve as ideal breeding grounds for pathogens, severely disrupting livelihoods and impacting the health of the vast majority and adversely influencing the lives of pregnant women. In 2021 Erin et al. reported the impact of the flood on pregnancy, health, birth outcomes and postpartum mental health. They stated that pregnant women in the first trimester are at high risk of having low birth weight (LBW) babies and a reduction in fetal growth rate in areas of major floods. (2) This is not the only study to show these results. A systematic review shows the increased prevalence of preterm birth, at the same time, highlighting increasing incidents of gestational hypertension, increased rate of LBW birth, gestational hypertension, preeclampsia and eclampsia after the flood. (3) A study published after the 2012 floods in Pakistan raised serious concerns regarding diarrhoea, skin & eye infections, leptospirosis, malaria, leishmaniasis, respiratory infections and hepatitis being prevalent in flooded areas of Pakistan. (4) The major concern author wants to highlight is the health of pregnant women and growing fetuses being particularly vulnerable to direct and indirect impacts of natural disasters. The poor standards of hygiene in camps set up for women displaced by the floods also contribute to pregnancy-related complications including sepsis. A recent report by the United Nations Population Fund (UNFPA) has stated s a need for providing healthcare facilities to almost 650,000 pregnant women in flood-affected areas in Pakistan. (5) Flood-affected areas need medical aid to mitigate pregnancy-related complications in relief camps. But no research done on the Pakistani population in flood-affected areas directly highlights the outcome of flood on pregnancy and fetal well-being. The author suggests a data collection and assessment approach and reporting system to evaluate pregnancy-related complications in flood-affected areas; so that future policy, clinical and research strategies are based on research and get adopted to mitigate the effects of future floods on pregnancy outcomes. In addition to this, trained healthcare workers, robust health systems and gender-sensitive responses should be set in place in responding to flood emergencies.

The Effect of Stress and Environment on Nursing Performance

The development of service organizations in the health sector is a top priority for every consumer to get the best service. Every health institution is competing to provide health facilities and infrastructure to serve consumers as well as possible. This study aimed at the influence of stress and environment on nursing performance. The quantitative research method is a method in this study using a causal research design. Results showed variable work stress: 0.013 and work environment: 0.000. It can be concluded that stress and environment affect nurse performance. High work stress and poor work environment can interfere with nurses' concentration and focus in carrying out their duties and the work environment positively affects nurses' performance. Things that can affect either indirectly or directly the performance of employees and organizations in a company are the work environment.

Committed for Social Change: Analysing the Role of Frontline Health Workers During Pandemic in Rural Odisha

The frontline health workers take health services directly to communities where access is either absent or often limited. The Aanganwadi workers and Accredited Social Health Activists (ASHA), among the most prominent frontline workers, act as essential to providing health facilities by bringing services to people’s doorsteps. They create awareness, provide nutritional support to children and mothers, promote universal immunisation, provide escort services for Reproductive and Child Health and so on. With the rise of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), ASHA and Anganwadi Workers (AWWs) have been expected to do supplemented work along with their regular duties. They are engaged in contact tracing, providing food supplements at the doorstep, screening the returning migrant workers, reporting suspected COVID-19 cases, doing door-to-door surveys and ensuring quarantine or isolation. However, they remain the least paid as Corona warriors and are exposed to Corona. The research found that AWWs and ASHAs are denied fundamental dignity and basic rights such as the right to recognition as workers, the right to the minimum salary and basic social security measures, which are the basic entitlement of the frontline workers in the State. The article critically analyses their role and rights during the pandemic.

The current state of regulatory and legal support for the rights of healthcare professionals in Ukraine

The article provides a comprehensive analysis of the regulatory and legal support for the rights of healthcare professionals in modern conditions. The author establishes that today medical professionals need legal protection, which consists in the introduction of medical malpractice insurance at the expense of the owner of a healthcare facility; establishment of decent remuneration for medical professionals; provision of healthcare facilities with medical devices, medicines, medical equipment, etc. to improve working conditions and effective performance of professional activities by medical professionals; introduction of effective mechanisms of social protection of medical professionals; establishment of interaction with the public authorities and other relevant bodies.
 The author concludes that today the priority area of the State's activity is to guarantee the rights of healthcare workers. However, ensuring the rights of healthcare workers remains one of the most problematic issues that needs to be addressed immediately by adopting appropriate decisions.
 One of the effective measures should be state and public control over the observance of the rights of healthcare workers. State control should be exercised by the specially authorised central executive body on healthcare and its territorial bodies, as well as other central and local executive bodies, local self-government bodies and their executive committees within their competence in accordance with the legislation of Ukraine. Public control over the observance of the rights of healthcare workers may be exercised by public associations of healthcare workers, associations of healthcare workers and/or members of their families, and other public associations within the limits established by the legislation of Ukraine. An effective mechanism may also be the creation of permanent medical and legal commissions in public associations of healthcare professionals, associations of healthcare professionals and other public associations within the limits established by the legislation of Ukraine for the development and improvement of legislative acts in the medical field.

Quality of life and its associated factors among sub fertile couples in the Colombo District of Sri Lanka: a cross-sectional study

Introduction: Pregnancy and motherhood are highly esteemed in Asian cultures. Consequently, subfertility is considered a major life issue for both men and women, which in turn could affect their quality of life (QOL). Objectives: To assess the QOL and its associated factors among the partners of sub fertile couples Methods: To identify the primary and secondary sub fertile couples, this community-based study used a stratified cluster sampling method to recruit 3366 married couples whose 15-49 aged female partners were residing in the Colombo district. Out of the 423 sub fertile couples identified, 384 were successfully interviewed. The Fertility Quality of Life (FertiQoL) tool, developed at Cardiff University was translated and culturally adapted to Sri Lanka to assess their QOL, based on the total score out of 100. An interviewer-administered questionnaire was used to collect data to assess the associated factors. Results: In this study, median of the total FertiQoL score was 68.3 (IQR: 60.2-77.2) for male partners and 65.2 (IQR: 58.0-73.5) for female partners. Male partners had significantly higher scores than their female partners. Advanced age, longer duration of the marriage, higher level of education, and having at least one living child were found to be significantly associated (p<0.01) with the QOL of sub fertile couples. Conclusions & Recommendations: The QOL was higher among male partners of the sub-fertile couples and male and female partners who had at least one living child. Negatively associated factors such as the age of the couple, duration of the marriage, and not having at least one living child should be prioritized when providing healthcare facilities.

STUDY OF MATERNAL AND FETAL OUTCOME IN PATIENTS OF ECLAMPSIA

Background: Eclampsia is still a major cause of maternal morbidity and mortality in India and across the globe. Material & Methods: This was a descriptive cross-sectional study conducted at Government Medical College, LaturMaharashtra in 240 eclamptic patients admitted from 1st January 2019 to 30th June 2020, included after permission from the Institutional Ethics Committee & were evaluated regarding eclampsia, its sociodemographic presentation, risk factors, and fetomaternal complications. Epi- info 7.2.5 & SPSS version 2.0 was used for statistical analysis. The incidence Results: of eclampsia in the study was 1.64%. The mean age of eclampsia cases was 21.25 ± 2.47 years. 71.66% of cases were primiparous, 61.25% of cases of eclampsia had no education at all, and 13.33% of cases had a family history of preeclampsia.70% of patients were unbooked, 68.33% of cases were from rural residence while 78.34% cases were referred from different hospitals. 87.50% cases had antepartum eclampsia, 66.98% presented at gestational age less than 37 weeks, and 65.84% presented with severe hypertension with blood pressure >160/110 mm Hg on admission. 63.75% of cases had 2-4 convulsions before the start of anticonvulsant therapy. 67.91% of cases were delivered by lower segment cesarean section while 32.09% of cases had delivered vaginally. 9.17% of cases had HELLP syndrome, 7.5% cases had PRES, 5% cases required ventilatory support, and 2.92% cases developed pulmonary edema. Maternal death occurred in 9 cases. Pulmonary edema was the commonest cause of death in 44.44% of cases of eclampsia. 56.67% of cases of eclampsia had LBW babies, 85% of babies were born alive and there were 15% perinatal deaths. Eclampsia is still major Conclusion: contributor for maternal and perinatal mortality and morbidity. The incidence of eclampsia and maternal deaths are higher in developing countries due to lack of education and lack of antenatal care. Proper antenatal care, early detection of pre-eclampsia, health education about imminent symptoms to patients, and proper management of pre-eclampsia are essential steps for the prevention of eclampsia. The maternal and fetal outcomes can be improved by the better provision of health care facilities, antenatal care, and improvement of socioeconomic conditions.

State-of-the-art session key generation on priority-based adaptive neural machine (PANM) in telemedicine.

Telemedicine is one of the safest methods to provide healthcare facilities to the remote patients with the help of digitization. In this paper, state-of-the-art session key has been proposed based on the priority oriented neural machines followed by its validation. State-of-the-art technique can be mentioned as newer scientific method. Soft computing has been extensively used and modified here under the ANN domain. Telemedicine facilitates secure data communication between the patients and the doctors regarding their treatments. The best fitted hidden neuron can contribute only in the formation of the neural output. Minimum correlation was taken into consideration under this study. Hebbian learning rule was applied on both the patient's neural machine and the doctor's neural machine. Lesser iterations were needed in the patient's machine and the doctor's machine for the synchronization. Thus, the key generation time has been shortened here which were 4.011ms, 4.324ms, 5.338ms, 5.691ms, and 6.105ms for 56 bits, 128 bits, 256 bits, 512 bits, and 1024 bits of state-of-the-art session keys, respectively. Statistically, different key sizes of the state-of-the-art session keys were tested and accepted. Derived value-based function had yielded successful outcomes too. Partial validations with different mathematical hardness had been imposed here too. Thus, the proposed technique is suitable for the session key generation and authentication in the telemedicine in order to preserve the patients' data privacy. This proposed method has been highly protective against numerous data attacks inside the public networks. Partial transmission of the state-of-the-art session key disables the intruders to decode the same bit patterns of the proposed set of keys.

Land Potential Analysis for Health Service Facilities (Puskesmas) in the Pinangsia Village, DKI Jakarta Province

Provision of Health Facilities is one of the government's mandates in ensuring public health in accordance with the 1945 Constitution article 34 paragraph 3 "The state is responsible for the provision of proper health service facilities and public service facilities" and Law No. 36 of 2009 article 15. Based on data from the Health Service it shows there are still health service facilities that operate not on land owned by the Provincial Government of DKI Jakarta. Government health services located on land with a lease or contract mechanism are very prone to experiencing problems such as contract extensions, permits, etc. Through a geographic information system, a model of the priority locations for the procurement of health services was developed to become a recommendation for the DKI Jakarta government. Based on the results of the analysis, the number of potential parcels obtained is 23 potential parcels which are dominated by potential parcels with priority category 2 with a total of 16 parcels, followed by priority category 1 with a total of 7 parcels

Analysis of Spatial Distribution of Health Care Facilities and its Effects on Access to Primary Healthcare in Rural Communities in Kpandai District, Ghana

Despite collaborative efforts by the government and the private sector in the provision of health facilities in Ghana, a substantial proportion of communities in rural Ghana still have poor access to primary health care. Employing a case study research design, this study presents an overview of the geographic distribution of healthcare facilities in Kpandai District and access to primary health care. Focus group discussions and interviews were conducted with randomly selected households, opinion leaders, healthcare and in-charges of health facilities to ascertain their perception of accessibility to health services. Geographic Information System (GIS) (ArcMap) was used to model the spatial distribution of health facilities. Spatially, 139 communities representing 50.5% of the communities are not accessible health facilities per World Health Organization and Ghana Health Service Survive distance threshold to health centers and Community-based Health Planning and Services (CHPS), and hospitals, respectively. Ideally, this implies that the majority of the population have to travel for more than 5 km to access health care services. This study found that the poor spatial distribution of health facilities has negative implications on access to primary health care in the district. Poor conditions of roads were a major barrier to the household’s accessibility to district hospitals. In addition to this, the availability, affordability, adequacy and acceptability which are major determinants of access to primary health care delivery were found to be fairly good. These findings have implications for the realization of the United Nations’ health-related Sustainable Development Goals.

Patient Satisfaction Survey for the Telemedicine Services during the Second Wave of the COVID-19 Pandemic in the Homoeopathic Research Institutes of West Bengal

Abstract Background Telemedicine was relevant mostly for providing healthcare facilities in rural and distant areas before the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic. In India, telemedicine was not ethically and legally recognized until the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic. In March and April 2020, the councils of different systems of medicine published the ethical guidelines for practicing telemedicine. The mitigation measures and fear of infection resulted in increased availing of the facility by the patients especially those who were already under treatment for chronic diseases. The satisfaction of patients availing of telemedicine is essential for improvising such a method of treatment. Method A multicentric cross-sectional study was conducted at two homoeopathic research institutes in West Bengal, India. The patients attending the outpatient department of those institutes were offered to avail telemedicine facilities during the second wave of the COVID-19 pandemic from April to June 2021. The satisfaction of the patient was measured by conducting a telephonic interview, measured on a predefined questionnaire. The calculated sample size was 305 considering the attrition rate of 10%. The sample was selected randomly from the pool of patients who availed of telemedicine during the second wave. Result In this study, initially 305 patients were contacted for evaluating the satisfaction level of their telehealth consultation, out of which 255 patients consented to participate. The mean score of the overall satisfaction of the patients with the telemedicine session was 7.93 ± 1.51(M ± standard deviation). One sample t-test was conducted for responses to every individual question and was significant (p < 0.001). The subgroup analysis shows that overall satisfaction was significantly different between the two institutes (p = 0.03), but other questions did not show any significant difference. Conclusion The survey conducted shows high satisfaction among patients availing the telemedicine facilities at the two homoeopathic research institutes.
