Satisfaction among caregivers of beneficiaries with the services provided at the well-baby clinic of a tertiary care hospital, Kolkata

Background: Well-baby clinics (WBC) are health facilities for providing primary care, including immunization services to infants and children. Caregivers’ satisfaction is a vital indicator of the quality of healthcare services provided. Aims and Objectives: This study aims to assess the caregivers’ satisfaction with the services provided at the WBC of a tertiary care hospital in Kolkata, West Bengal and to identify the associated sociodemographic factors. Materials and Methods: A descriptive-type of observational study with a cross-sectional design, was conducted from June to July 2022, using a predesigned pretested and structured schedule, among 106 caregivers of beneficiaries attending WBC. Satisfaction was assessed using 24 items answered on a 5-point Likert scale, ranging from “highly satisfied” to “highly dissatisfied.” Data were tabulated in MS Excel 2021 and analyzed using statistical package for the social sciences v25.0. Bivariate Logistic Regression was performed to examine the association of sociodemographic factors with caregivers’ satisfaction. Results: High satisfaction with the services was observed among 52.8% participants. Least number of caregivers were satisfied with the vaccination services. Caregivers’ gender, mothers’ education and beneficiaries’ gender were found to be statistically significant with their satisfaction. Furthermore, the female caregivers had lower odds of statistically significant high satisfaction than the males. Conclusion: Almost half of the caregivers were less satisfied with the services offered at the WBC, while the least number of caregivers were satisfied with the vaccination services. Extensive research is needed to identify the factors contributing to the satisfaction of caregivers with the services, mainly vaccination.

One Year Clinical Evaluation of E-max Press Crowns Retained with Fiber Reinforced Composite Post Versus E-max Press Endocrowns in Anterior Endodontically Treated Teeth (A Randomized Clinical Trial)

Objective: The purpose of this study was to assess patient satisfaction, gross fracture and marginal adaptation of e.max press endocrowns versus e.max press crowns retained with Fiber reinforced composite post (FRCP) and core in upper anterior teeth. Material and methods: The present study included 24 patients seeking root canal treatment in anterior upper arch. The patients received root canal treatment (RCT) then they were randomly assigned into two groups (n=12). The first group received preparation for the IPS e.max crowns retained with FRCP and core and the second group received preparation for the IPS e.max endocrowns. Press technique was used for the fabrication of both restorations using IPS e.max press ingots. Marginal integrity and gross fracture were evaluated using USPHS criteria and a questionnaire was conducted to evaluate patient satisfaction. Data were analyzed using IBM SPSS Statistics for Windows, Version 23.0. Armonk, NY: IBM Corp. Results: There was no statistical significant difference regarding gross fracture of both groups after 12 months (p-value = 0.093, Effect size = 0.447), meanwhile; group 1 was statistically significantly higher than group 2 regarding marginal integrity (p-value = 0.037, Effect size = 0.513). Regarding patient satisfaction FRCP and core group showed statistical significant higher satisfaction than endocrown group (p-value = 0.047, Effect size = 0.447). Conclusion: E.max press endocrowns revealed successful performance similar to e.max press crowns retained with FRCP in terms of gross fracture, however better marginal adaptation and patient satisfaction was obtained with e.max press crowns retained with FRC post and core group.

Harvesting of Autogenous Bone Graft from the Ascending Mandibular Ramus Compared with the Chin Region: a Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis Focusing on Complications and Donor Site Morbidity.

ABSTRACTObjectivesThe aim of this systematic review was to test the hypothesis of no difference in complications and donor site morbidity following harvesting of autogenous bone graft from the ascending mandibular ramus compared with the chin region.Material and MethodsMEDLINE (PubMed), Embase and Cochrane Library search in combination with a hand-search of relevant journals was conducted including human studies published in English through June 26, 2020. Randomized and controlled trials were included. Outcome measures included pain, infection, mucosal dehiscence, altered sensation or vitality of adjacent tooth/teeth, neurosensory disturbances and patient-reported outcome measures. Risk of bias was assessed by Cochrane risk of bias tool and Newcastle-Ottawa Scale.ResultsTen controlled trials of high-quality fulfilled inclusion criteria. Risk of infection and mucosal dehiscence seems to be comparable with the two treatment modalities. However, harvesting from the chin seems to be associated with increased risk of pain, altered sensation or loss of tooth vitality, and neurosensory disturbances. Willingness to undergo the same treatment again was reported with both treatment modalities, but significant higher satisfaction, lower discomfort and acceptance of the surgical procedure was reported following harvesting from the ascending mandibular ramus.ConclusionsThe hypothesis was rejected due to higher prevalence and severity of complications and donor site morbidity following harvesting of autogenous bone graft from the chin region. Dissimilar evaluation methods and various methodological confounding factors posed serious restrictions for literature review in a quantitative systematic manner. Conclusions drawn from results of this systematic review should therefore be interpreted with caution.

Post malleable Penile Prosthesis Satisfaction in elderly patients: Serial assessments.

Post penile implant sexual satisfaction in elderly patients is a multifactorial issue. In the present study, we investigated the possible implication of age on satisfaction after malleable penile implant surgery in elderly patients. We compared post-operative sexual satisfaction in the elderly with that of a younger age group (reference group). Patients were classified into three groups according to their ages (group I <45, group II between 45 and 65, and group III older than 65years old). Modified Erectile Dysfunction Inventory of Treatment Satisfaction (EDITS) questionnaire was used at 3, 6 and 12months after implant surgery. EDITS scores showed statistically significant high satisfaction rates in all age groups. EDITS scores were higher in the early post-operative period in younger groups compared to elderly patients. However, the difference between groups was insignificant at 12months post-operatively (p value=.06). Our results show that elderly patients have a high post-operative satisfaction rate close to that of younger age groups, and they are suitable candidates for penile implant surgery with good and realistic post-operative sexual satisfaction expectations.

Treatment of Long Head of Biceps Tendon Lesions Together With Rotator Cuff Tears: Which Method is Preferred? Tenotomy or Tenodesis

Long head of biceps tendon lesions are associated with rotator cuff tears, and, in large tears, surgery is the treatment of choice. Here, we aimed to evaluate outcomes of tenotomy and tenodesis in such cases. In this randomized clinical trial, patients aged 45 to 60 years, who were candidates for arthroscopic treatment of rotator cuff tears, with at least 1 positive biceps test before surgery, were enrolled. Patients were allocated in tenotomy or tenodesis groups using random block. Therapeutic outcomes were investigated by evaluation of occurrence of Popeye deformity, patient’s satisfaction based on visual analog scale (VAS), shoulder function according to the Constant score and simple shoulder test, and pain intensity based on numerical rating scale (NRS) and were measured before treatment and at 6 months, and 1 and 2 years after operation. All data analyzed using SPSS software version 20. Both Popeye deformity and biceps brachii cramping were significantly higher in the tenotomy group. Values of NRS, simple shoulder test, VAS of patient’s satisfaction, and Constant score significantly changed after operation as a decrease in NRS and increase in all 3 others. However, only VAS of patient’s satisfaction significantly differed between the 2 groups just at 12 and 24 months after operation. Only age, sex, and dominance of the involved limb had a significant association with patient’s satisfaction. Indeed, younger female patients with involvement of the recessive limb had significant higher satisfaction (P<0.05). Both methods produced good clinical outcomes. Although patient satisfaction was higher in the tenodesis group, no significant differences existed in functional outcomes. Level of Evidence: Level II.

Job Satisfaction among Volunteers of the 2007 Special Olympics World Summer Games

LANGUAGE NOTE | Document text in English; abstract also in Chinese.&#x0D; Volunteer contribution has been indispensable for successful sport events. Many studies have been conducted to understand motivations of volunteers. However, investigation of volunteer satisfaction for sports events has been left untouched. The present study attempted to make the first step in filling this research gap. Quantitative survey was conducted among 314 volunteers for 2007 Special Olympics World Summer Games. The results indicated that volunteers were nearly satisfied with their work (M=3.49, SD=0.50). And they were more satisfied with the sense of “my contribution was valuable” (M =4.10, SD=0.82), “sense of achievement” (M=4.00, SD=0.91), “I accumulated useful experience in the service” (M=3.98, SD=0.86) and “mutual support among colleagues” (M=3.92, SD=0.87). Volunteers with very much knowledge about persons with ID tended to have significant higher satisfaction than those without or with little of certain knowledge (F=3.28, df=2, p&lt;.05). Volunteer job satisfaction was significantly associated with their perceived work stress (r=-.33, p&lt;.001). Volunteers who perceived lower stress tended to be more satisfied.&#x0D; 本研究旨在增加對體育賽事義工工作滿意度的認識。研究以問卷調查的形式進行，收集了參與 2007 世界夏季特奧會的 314名義工樣本。分析表明，義工對於他們的工作幾近滿意(M=3.49, SD=0.50)，特別是對以下方面比較滿意：“我的付出是有價值的" (M=4.10, SD=0.82)“有成就感" (M=4.00, SD=0.91) “我累積了有用的經驗" (M=3.98, SD=0.86)，和“同事之間的相互支持”(M=3.92, SD=0.87)。對智障人士有深刻認識的義工工作滿意度顯著高於有少許認識或沒有認識的義工(F=3.28, df=2, p&lt;.05)。義工工作滿意度與工作壓力顯著相關(r=-.33, p&lt;.001)，壓力越低，滿意度越

Effects of perioperative music on sedation in patients undergoing gynecological surgery under intravertebral anesthesia

To investigate the effects of music on propofol target-controlled infusion (TCI) in patients during gynecological surgery under intravertebral anesthesia. One hundred and ten patients scheduled for gynecological surgery under intravertebral anesthesia were randomly assigned to two groups. The music group patients were asked to determine music and its sound volume preoperatively, which were played from 6 min before the surgery to the end. A loading dose of 1 microg/kg fentanyl and 0.5 mg/kg propofol was administered intravenously to all the patients 5 min prior to operation. At the beginning of surgery, the TCI of propofol was initiated at propofol target controlled concentration of 2 microg/ml, which was modulated at a grade of 0.2 microg/ml every 10 min to maintain an observer's assessment of alertness/sedation (OAA/S) score of 3 intraoperatively. Induction time of sedation, intraoperative amount of propofol and patient's satisfaction of sedation were assessed. (1) The music group patients had a significant shorter induction time of sedation (12 min +/- 12 min) than the controls (18 min +/- 12 min) (P < 0.01). (2) The music group patients had a significant less propofol target-controlled concentration (1.6 microg/ml +/- 0.3 microg/ml) and delivers (171 mg +/- 98 mg) than the controls (2.4 microg/ml +/- 0.4 microg/ml and 251 mg +/- 92 mg) (both P < 0.01). (3) The music group patients had a significant higher satisfaction (9.7 +/- 0.6) than the controls (8.1 +/- 1.0) (P < 0.01). Music has perfect sedative effects in patients undergoing gynecological surgery under intravertebral anesthesia.
