Health Care Workers' Perspectives on Collecting Sexual Orientation and Gender Identity in the Adult Primary Care Setting.

Despite numerous calls for standardized collection of sexual orientation and gender identity (SOGI) data in clinical settings, uptake of this practice still lags. This study conducted a preimplementation assessment of staff attitudes toward SOGI data collection within an adult primary care practice in an urban academic medical center in the northeastern United States. We created a process map of the flow of patient data from the point of registration to the clinical encounter to identify all staff roles associated with registration and patient demographic data collection. We purposively sampled staff members across these roles and conducted semistructured virtual interviews between November 2021 and February 2022. The research team used deductive and inductive coding and conducted a thematic analysis to identify barriers and facilitators to implementation. Nine clinical staff and eleven nonclinical staff were interviewed. Participants were asked about their general experiences with lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and queer (LGBTQ) patients, their perspectives on collecting this data, and potential barriers and facilitators to incorporating this into the workflow. The main themes that emerged were the relevance of SOGI data to the clinical practice; concerns about patient acceptability; the prevalence of cis-gender, heteronormative assumptions; and concerns about linguistic, cultural, and generational differences. Differences were noted between clinical and nonclinical staff. Greater education is needed to help both clinical and nonclinical staff understand how patients' SOGI demographics can be used to provide affirming, patient-centered care. Implementation strategies can be tailored to address specific barriers at the individual, organizational, and social levels.

Food Poisonings at Hotels, Tripadvisor Reviews in Türkiye

Tourists travel long distances and visit attractive destinations. Problems that may occur in these destinations may affect visit preferences. Food poisoning is one of the health problems that may encounter during their holidays, which will create negative memories about their holidays. In this study, comments about food poisoning cases made by foreign tourists visiting Türkiye were examined. In this way, the points to be taken into consideration for hotels to avoid food poisoning cases will be revealed. Tourist comments on the Tripadvisor website constitute the examination area of the study. The study covers comments made between 2012 and 2022. The study is a qualitative research and 731 comments containing the concept of "food poisoning" on Tripadvisor were subjected to text/content analysis to obtain the data set. After the analysis, themes and categories associated with the subject of "food poisoning" were determined. The themes of these categories are “food safety, illness, staff attitude, feelings, cause and vulnerable”. Accommodation business managers should pay attention to these issues in order to reduce food poisoning complaints and prevent the formation of a negative image.

Effect of staff competence on customer loyalty in the hospitality industry in Sri Lanka

This research investigates the relationship between staff competence and customer loyalty within the Sri Lankan hospitality industry. This study addresses a critical gap in understanding how skilled and professional service personnel impact guest satisfaction and long-term patronage. Simple random sampling was utilized to gather data from the 384 respondents using a survey questionnaire. Five independent variables were identified from literature which are staff knowledge, staff skills, staff attitudes, staff friendliness and staff responsiveness. All five variables exhibited positive correlations with customer loyalty and significant association with customer loyalty. According to the findings, staff competence is vital in encouraging customer loyalty within the Sri Lankan hospitality industry. The recommendations include that hoteliers prioritizing employee development and cultivating a service-oriented culture can create lasting bonds with their guests, contributing to long-term business success. This research provides valuable insights for academics and industry practitioners to explore further and strengthen the crucial link between service quality and customer loyalty in the dynamic Sri Lankan market.

Communicating, Eating And Drinking With Dementia

Abstract Background Problems with eating and drinking can put patients at risk of malnutrition. Hospitalised patients with dementia are at a higher risk for eating/drinking difficulties and inadequate food/fluid intake. Dysphagia in dementia can contribute to malnutrition, dehydration, weight loss, choking episodes, repeat chest infections, pneumonia, and recurrent hospitalisations - all of which can cause strain on relationships between the person with dementia and carers. Where communication (and eating/drinking/swallowing) are impacted, the person with dementia can experience a decrease in quality of life, wellbeing, sense of personhood, and quality of relationships. Direct training and indirect feeding support for care staff results in fewer mealtime difficulties, more time spent assisting at mealtimes, and a positive changes in staff attitudes towards assisting in mealtimes for people with dementia. Using observational instruments to identify eating/drinking difficulties can lead to a positive influence for staff knowledge and skills to support patients/residents. Methods Create a Departmental Information Leaflet on “Communicating, Eating and Drnking with Dementia” for staff, visitors, service users, and their families.Select a tool to be used by nursing staff to better inform on behaviours around eating and drinking with dementia (Edinburgh Feeding Evaluation in Dementia Scale (EdFED-Q)).Create a training Powerpoint for Staff on “Communicating, Eating and Drnking with Dementia” and using the EdFED-Q tool. Results Departmental Information leaflet created.Selection of the EdFED-Q tool.Training programme for nursing staff developed on Communicating, Eating and Drnking with Dementia and using the EdFED-Q tool. Conclusion As outlined in the Irish National Dementia Strategy (2014), all people who provide care or interact with those with dementia should be trained and upskilled in working with and communicating with those with dementia. It is important to continue to develop our services and build on quality initiatives to do this.

Psychometric properties of the Turkish version of Staff Attitude to Coercion Scale

BackgroundThe aim of this study was to provide the Turkish version of the Staff Attitude to Coercion Scale (SACS) and to determine its psychometric properties.MethodsThis is a descriptive and correlation design. The sample of this study consisted of 100 psychiatric staff members. The validity and reliability of the scale were assessed through translation procedures, content validity analysis, and confirmatory factor analysis (CFA). Reliability was further evaluated using Cronbach’s alpha and item-total score correlations.ResultsThe content validity index was found to be 0.93. The scale has a three-factor structure and the Cronbach’s alpha values of the subscales are 0.70 for offence, 0.87 for safety and 0.74 for treatment, respectively. The Cronbach alpha reliability coefficient of the total scale was found to be 0.86.ConclusionThe Turkish version of the SACS showed good reliability and validity, and confirmatory factor analysis revealed the same factor structure with three factors as in the original SACS.

Experiences and attitudes of psychiatric nurses in caring for patients with repeated non-suicidal self-injury in China: a qualitative study

BackgroundThe incidence of non-suicidal self-injury (NSSI) is high and often occurs repeatedly. Psychiatric nurses play a vital role in the care and treatment of NSSI patients, as they have the most frequent contact with patients. The experiences and attitudes of nurses has a direct affect on the quality of care they provide to patients. Negative care experiences and attitudes of patient aversion on behalf of nurses may delay the observation and treatment of changes in the patient’s condition, leading to irreversible risks. Although cross-sectional studies have investigated the attitudes of medical staff toward NSSI patients, quantitative research results cannot comprehensively reflect the emotional experiences and complex psychological changes of the study subjects. A few studies have focused on the psychiatric nurses’ care experiences and attitudes toward patients with repeated NSSI.ObjectiveThis study aimed to explore psychiatric nurses’ care experiences and attitudes toward patients during repeated NSSI.MethodsA thematic analysis qualitative study was used. Using purposive sampling, 18 psychiatric nurses were recruited from a mental health center in Chengdu, China. Semi-structured interviews were conducted and audio-recorded. Audio-recordings were transcribed verbatim and analyzed using six-phase thematic analysis.ResultsFour themes emerged from the analysis: psychiatric nurses’ care experiences, perceptions, care attitudes and coping style toward repeated NSSI patients. Psychiatric nurses have experienced negative care experiences and severe career burnout during the patient’s repeated NSSI. Nurses’ attitudes toward NSSI patients changed during repeated NSSI, from understanding to indifference to anger and resentment. At the same time, it was found that nurses’ coping style with NSSI patients could be divided into three stages, namely, active coping, neglect and perfunctory, and criticism and punishment.ConclusionsThe findings have implications for health care systems regarding interventions to improve nurses’ care experiences and attitudes toward repeated NSSI patients. These findings suggest that enhancing nurses’ understanding of NSSI, establishing standardized emergency response and intervention programs, guiding positive professional values and responsibility, and improving nurses’ caring attitudes can promote the early detection and timely intervention of NSSI.

Investigation of E-Complaints of Hotel Guests Towards 4 and 5-Star Kayseri City Hotels

In recent decades Kayseri has emerged as a prominent destination for winter, nature, and cultural tourism, attracting visitors to its natural and cultural resources, and gastronomic offerings. The increase in tourist numbers has also led to a corresponding expansion in the accommodation sector, accompanied by a significant rise in hotel room numbers and available bed capacity. Despite this increase, academic studies examining the quality of accommodation services in the province or addressing customer perceptions of these services are relatively limited. This exploratory study aims to analyze e-complaints regarding 4 and 5-star city hotels in Kayseri, identify the most prevalent issues articulated by guests in these complaints, and categorize and assess them. For this purpose, the researchers first identified 497 negative reviews for seven different city hotels in Kayseri on the TripAdvisor website between August and December 2023. Then these reviews were subjected to content analysis. The content analysis findings revealed that guests were mostly unhappy with "rooms and housekeeping department services", “staff attitudes and performance", "food and beverage department services" and “physical characteristics and atmosphere” of hotels.

Evaluation of Operating Room Staff Awareness of Environmental Sustainability and Medical Waste Management.

This study aims to identify the obstacles to recycling and environmental sustainability habits in a university hospital's operating room (OR) environment in Turkey and lay the groundwork for potential solutions. A questionnaire was used to measure current views among the 140 OR staff members aged 20-54 years. The survey assessed awareness and behaviors of recycling at home and in the OR, as well as awareness of environmentally safe anaesthesia practices. Half of the participants believed that ORs significantly affected their carbon footprint, and most agreed that these environmental effects could be reduced. The primary barriers to recycling were inadequate knowledge, negative staff attitudes and insufficient services. Notably, 76% of participants paid attention to segregating OR waste, yet many lacked formal education about the environmental impact of their practices. Approximately 89% agreed that the environmental effects of ORs could be further reduced, with education being a critical need. The healthcare sector's contribution to carbon emissions and waste production is significant, especially in ORs. The lack of education regarding ecological implications is concerning. Implementing standardized training programs and enhancing recycling services can substantially reduce the environmental impact of ORs, highlighting the need for a more sustainable healthcare system.

An exploration of UK speech and language therapists' treatment and management of functional communication disorders: A mixed-methods online survey.

Functional Communication Disorders (FCDs) are one specific presentation of Functional Neurological Disorder (FND). FND is characterised by neurological symptoms, such as sensory and motor symptoms, which are not explained by neurological disease. Speech and language therapists (SLTs) have expertise in managing communication disorders, including FCDs, though is not known is what clinicians do in practice to treat and manage FCDs. To explore the clinical practices of SLTs who regularly manage FCDs in the UK, including the assessment and intervention approaches taken. An online survey was developed using Qualtrics software and piloted before dissemination. Participants were experienced SLTs working in the UK who managed at least three FCD referrals a year. The survey was developed with a mix of qualitative and quantitative questions. The survey was disseminated via social media and professional networks. There were 73 completed responses to the survey. Participants reported working with a range of FCDs clinically, with functional stuttering and articulation disorders seen most frequently. SLTs reported working with a wide range of multidisciplinary professionals when managing patients with FCDs, though lack of access to mental health professionals was raised as an issue. SLTs reported using a combination of formal and informal communication assessments. Interventions varied, with a wide range of psychological approaches informing treatment. Lack of specific training, evidence base and negative attitudes around functional neurological disorder (FND) were raised as ongoing issues. Therapists encountered a wide range of FCDs as part of their clinical practice, though there was a significant disparity in the service and interventions offered. SLTs feel their input can be effective, but lack the resources, training and evidence-based interventions to provide adequate care. What is already known on the subject FCDs are one manifestation of FND and can present as a wide range of communication disorders. SLTs encounter FCDs as part of clinical practice, but report feeling unsure and underprepared to manage these disorders. Consensus recommendations have provided some guidance on how to manage these disorders, though what was not known was what practising SLTs are doing in practice with FCD patients: what assessment, intervention and management strategies they use, and what they feel are the facilitators and barriers to effective management. What this study adds to the existing knowledge This is the first UK-wide survey of FCD SLT clinical practice. The survey found that SLTs are seeing a range of FCDs as part of their clinical practice. SLTs reported that they feel their input is effective, that they had confidence in their ability to provide assessment and intervention, and that SLT for FCDs should be routine. SLTs reported using a wide variety of approaches to assessment and intervention. Barriers to effective management included a lack of resources, training, negative staff attitudes towards FND, and lack of research and evidence-based interventions. What are the practical and clinical implications of this work? This survey has found that SLTs working across the UK are providing input for patients with FCDs, but frequently reported feeling isolated and lacking clinical peer support. This shows the potential for networking groups to support SLTs to learn and share resources. There is a training need for SLTs and other healthcare professionals to tackle pervasive negative attitudes towards FND. Common themes in intervention approaches were found, but there was variability in the specific approach taken. This requires further research to guide SLTs on the best evidence-based practice.

Nursing Staff's Perspectives of Care Robots for Assisted Living Facilities: Systematic Literature Review.

Care robots have been proposed in response to nursing shortages in assisted living facilities (ALFs) and the growing population of older adults. While the use of care robots may improve the general health and well-being of older adults, their introduction changes the work of nursing staff fundamentally, and it has implications for the entire health care system. In developing such technology, it is important to include end users, but so far, the nursing staff's perspectives have largely been ignored. This study aims to examine the literature on nursing staff's attitudes, needs, and preferences related to the use of care robots in ALFs, in order to discover gaps in the literature and guide future research. This review follows the PRISMA (Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses) 2020 protocol. On May 12, 2023, we searched PubMed, CINAHL Plus with Full Text, PsycINFO, the IEEE Xplore Digital Library, and the ACM Digital Library using predetermined search terms. Included publications, written in English, focused on the predevelopment phase, in which information was gathered on nursing staff's attitudes, needs, and preferences regarding care robots for ALFs. Publications were excluded if they did not provide peer-reviewed empirical data. The studies' findings were summarized, coded, and analyzed into major themes using thematic analysis and narrative synthesis. Their quality was assessed using McGill University's Mixed Methods Appraisal Tool and the Joanna Briggs Institute's critical appraisal tools. The final sample included 15 studies. Most of the studies (n=11, 73%) were rated as good quality; however, there was a general lack of reporting on important methodological decisions and sample characteristics. Nursing staff desired care robots that could assist with physically demanding tasks and reduce their workload but had mixed feelings on whether robots could or should assist with social tasks. In addition, nursing staff are concerned about the ethics of care robots, as well as about their safety, accessibility, and operability. The nursing staff's culture, qualification, and role in the facility may influence their perspectives of care robots. The studies lacked theory-driven designs and large sample sizes. Eight (53%) studies mentioned using a participatory design approach, but a lack of established criteria for what constitutes participatory design leads to varying degrees of methodological quality. There was consensus among nursing staff that care robots should serve as nursing assistants to reduce workload. Whether robots could or should assist with social tasks remains a question. Further research is needed to mitigate nursing staff's concerns and understand the socioecological factors that influence their perspectives of care robots and their adoption in ALFs. In addition, theory-driven and large sample size study designs are necessary, as well as work to develop clear criteria for related participatory design research.

Effectiveness of Interventions on Habits Among University Staff in Southeastern Iran

Background: Health-promoting environments are a key focus of the Ottawa Strategic Charter, which aims to enhance health in the workplace and reduce unhealthy behaviors among employees. Objectives: This study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of health-promoting interventions on the habits of university staff in Southeastern Iran. Methods: This semi-experimental study was conducted from 2020 to 2021 in Zahedan, Southeastern Iran. A total of 254 administrative staff from the University of Medical Sciences and Sistan & Balochistan University were selected using available randomized methods and divided into control and intervention groups. The study instrument was a researcher-designed questionnaire, which demonstrated a content validity ratio (CVR) of 0.8, a Content Validity Index (CVI) ranging from 0.83 to 0.97, and an internal consistency with a Cronbach's alpha of 0.85. The questionnaire was distributed online via the Porsline platform. For the intervention, training sessions were conducted online, and the session files and training booklet were made available to intervention group staff through the university's education system. A post-test was administered one month after the pretest. Data were analyzed using SPSS 21 software, with pretest results adjusted using chi-square and ANCOVA statistical tests. Results: The study found that the mean age of participants was 40.5 ± 7.4 years. Scores for employee knowledge, attitude, and behavior were 80.0 ± 16.4, 86.6 ± 22.8, and 80.8 ± 17.6, respectively. The most significant factors influencing attitudes were education (P < 0.001) and health status (P = 0.001). Type of employment (P = 0.025), work experience (P = 0.017), and health status (P = 0.037) were also significantly associated with behavior. After adjusting for pretest results, there were significant differences between the intervention and control groups in terms of scores for knowledge, attitude, and behavior (P < 0.001). Conclusions: The study concluded that employees with correct attitudes and healthy behaviors reported better health outcomes. Additionally, educational interventions effectively improved staff knowledge, attitudes, and behavior. To enhance health status, reduce employee disability, decrease absenteeism, and increase organizational productivity, it is recommended to plan and implement workplace health promotion programs focused on employees.

Barriers and facilitators to implementing treatment for opioid use disorder in community hospitals

IntroductionMethadone and buprenorphine are effective treatment for opioid use disorder (OUD), yet they are vastly under-utilized across US hospitals. To inform a national trial assessing the effectiveness of implementation strategies to increase adoption of an inpatient hospital-based opioid treatment (HBOT) model (NCT04921787), we explored barriers and facilitators to expanding medication for opioid use disorder (MOUD) within community hospitals across the United States. MethodsFrom November 2021 to March 2022, we used purposeful and snowball sampling to identify and interview participants involved in inpatient care of patients with OUD from twelve community hospitals. We conducted semi-structured interviews on providers' experiences and perspectives on current treatment approaches as well as potential influences on MOUD expansion in their hospitals. We used thematic analysis to identify key barriers and facilitators that could impact implementation of an HBOT model, and organized these findings based on the Consolidated Framework for Implementation Research (CFIR). ResultsFrom qualitative interviews with 57 participants (30 physicians, 7 pharmacists, 6 nurses, and 14 professionals involved in the care of patients with OUD), we identified key barriers and facilitators mapped to CFIR's internal and outer settings. The most salient inner setting domains included tension for change and relative priority, compatibility, available resources, organizational culture, access to knowledge and information, relational connections and communications, and information technology infrastructure. Outer setting domains included policies and laws, financing, and partnerships and connections. ConclusionsIdentifying potential barriers and facilitators can inform hospital-specific strategies to support implementation of HBOT. Implementation strategies that address barriers such as staff availability, knowledge, and attitudes may support increased HBOT adoption. On a broader scale, national policy changes such as increased financing and public reporting of quality metrics would address other barriers we identified and may also encourage hospitals to adopt HBOT models.

Nursing staff's attitudes towards the prevention of adverse events among hospitalized people with dementia: Protocol of qualitative systematic review and evidence synthesis.

People with dementia are more likely than people without dementia to be hospitalized and to experience in-hospital preventable adverse events, such as falls, skin injury, and infection, compared to other hospitalized groups. Negative attitudes towards people with dementia are common among acute healthcare workers and have been linked to a cascade of negative adverse events in this population. However, no qualitative systematic review has ever been conducted to synthesize the existing evidence in this area, which hampers the development of preventative measures. This is a protocol for a qualitative systematic review aimed at exploring and synthesizing existing qualitative evidence regarding the attitudes of nursing staff towards the prevention of adverse events among hospitalized people with dementia. Literature searches will be performed in PubMed, CINAHL, PsycINFO, Web of Science, Biblioteca Virtual de Salud, Scopus, The Cochrane Library, and Google Scholar. The references of eligible studies will be checked for eligibility. All primary qualitative or mixed-methods studies with a qualitative component published in peer-reviewed academic journals in English, Portuguese, or Spanish will be eligible. There will be no limitations to the date of publication. The selection process will be conducted independently by two researchers using the software Rayyan and then compared and discussed. Any disagreements regarding eligibility will be discussed among the entire research team and resolved via consensus. Methodological quality will be assessed using Cochrane's guidance. A meta-aggregative approach will be employed to extract and synthesize the evidence using the software package QARI from the JBI. The confidence in the findings will be graded using ConQual. This review will help identify and better understand specific attitudinal and psychosocial aspects that influence nursing care delivery for people with dementia in hospital settings. Such data can be used to generate novel explanatory models of nursing behaviors in dementia care, as well as capacity building and training to enhance hospital care for people with dementia globally.

The Impact of Trauma-Informed Training for a Youth Residential Center on Staff Attitudes and Behavior

ABSTRACT Purpose Children with behavioral issues in residential care settings have high rates of trauma, with a range of trauma experiences such as abuse and neglect, issues with attachment, and multiple disruptions in placements. Staff in these settings should have an understanding of trauma, its impact, and how to engage in trauma-informed practice. The purpose of this study was to examine whether a trauma-informed training, developed specifically based on the identified needs of a residential group care facility, had an impact on future staff attitudes and behaviors. Materials and methods A 3-h training was delivered by the researchers. Three identical sessions were provided to all 48 staff, regardless of education and role, across a 3-day period. Prior to the training, staff were given a pretest survey measuring components of trauma-informed (TI) practice that indicated how often the staff members engaged in TI practice. Thirty days later, the same participants completed a posttest survey to gauge if the training had an impact on their subsequent attitudes and behavior. Results There were improvements in many of the trauma-informed practice areas on the posttest survey. T-test analysis revealed five trauma-informed practice areas had improvements that were statistically significant from the pretest survey. Discussion The findings present the opportunity for recommendations for trauma-informed training development and delivery, as well as providing implications for the field of social work. Conclusion This study demonstrates the feasibility of administering a trauma-informed training program and observing relatively rapid improvements in future attitudes and behavior among staff.

Exploring excellence: a comprehensive examination of professional development in library and information science

Purpose This study aims to investigate future trends evident in the literature. It systematically reviews continuing professional development (CPD) practices, covering a range of CPD channels, benefits and challenges. Design/methodology/approach The study used a systematic literature review approach following the PRISMA 20 framework. Literature published between 2017 and 2023 was sourced from Scopus and Web of Science databases and the researcher's prior collection. An extensive search strategy was devised, yielding 1,740 results for initial screening. Finally, 25 studies were thoroughly scrutinized, each fulfilling the criteria for inclusive and exclusive with descriptive and interrogative analysis. Findings The trend observed in literature over the years indicates a dynamic professional development of library and information science (LIS) professionals. This evolution encompasses foundational qualitative studies, expansive global assessments and technology-driven interventions, reflecting the field's adaptability to the evolving needs of LIS professionals. However, several impediments hinder professionals from actively participating, such as financial constraints, lack of institutional and senior support, difficulties in the workplace, the absence of well-defined CPD policies, personal commitments, family obligations and diverse staff attitudes. The study proposes seamless integration of information and communication technology, a global perspective and well-structured CPD programs focusing on lifelong learning that will shape the future of LIS professionals. Originality/value This study offers valuable insights into the present state of professional development among LIS professionals toward global collaboration and a dedication to lifelong learning, aiming to aid stakeholders in formulating suitable strategies and policies.
