The digital pulse of preparedness: staff perceptions on learning management systems in health emergency operations

Abstract Background: The learning management system (LMSs) are online platforms that are used to conduct and support teaching and training at various institutions worldwide. Therefore, this study aimed to assess the perception towards the use of Moodle and Google classrooms LMS tools in the training among the National Health Emergency Operation Center (NHEOC) staff and compare their perceptions. Methods: This was a cross-sectional study with a post-test design conducted at NHEOC in Saudi Arabia in 2023. A training program regarding crises and disaster situations was delivered via Moodle and Google classrooms. At the end of each session, participants were invited to fill a questionnaire regarding their perception towards these tools. Results: A total of 72 and 65 individuals responded to the questionnaire after the end of Moodle class and Google classrooms, respectively. There were no statistically significant differences in the mean perception scores between Moodle and Google classrooms by; the easy access to the browser (4.18 ± 1.24 versus 4.14 ± 1.09, p-value = 0.692), the easy access to the App (4.02 ± 1.31 versus 4.11 ± 1.08 , p-value = 0.658), the ease of browsing the educational content (4.17 ± 1.13 versus 4.14 ± 1.06, p-value = 0.872), and the ease of dealing with the system functions (4.08 ± 1.14 versus 4.09 ± 1.16, p-value = 0.889). Conclusion: Participants reported similar perception towards the use of Moodle and Google classrooms in training programs. Meanwhile, majority reported that they preferred Moodle to Google classrooms.

True or False? Viewer Perceptions of Emotional Staff and Stock Photos in the News

ABSTRACT The phenomenon of multi-used stock photography in the news contradicts the photojournalism professional values of truthful and emotional depictions. This reality echoes other false images increasingly appearing in the media, including deepfakes and artificial intelligence. In the present study, a two (stock and staff photo) by two (positive and negative valence) quasi-experiment is conducted. The dependent variables include: 1) credibility; 2) self-reported arousal level; 3) emotional valence perceptions; 4) fixation duration; and 5) fixation count. Participants viewed staff photos as more credible in both positive and negative valences. Negative photos were perceived as slightly less credible. Stock and staff photos were similarly arousing, received similar valence perceptions, and had similar gaze fixations and durations. Overall, participants perceived the genuine emotion portrayed truthfully in photojournalism as opposed to the faux emotion acted out in stock photos.

Virtual Tutor, Digital Natives and AI: Analyzing the impact of ChatGPT on academia in Indonesia

One of the chatbots of AI is ChatGPT which is emerging in academia for classwork, enhancing knowledge, and promoting the concept of learning through machine learning, which requires human intelligence. This study employed sequential explanatory design and conducted multiple in-depth interviews from two public universities of Indonesia to analyze the perception of students, teachers, and staff regarding the usage of ChatGPT. The study concludes that ChatGPT has substantial promise in revolutionizing higher education by offering an array of invaluable contributions. Teachers and students use it for different purposes, including research, exam preparation, and knowing future predictions about certain issues. The adaptation of ChatGPT generates personalized as well as tailored learning styles, which may generate explanations and create preferences for material and diverse information. On one hand, the usage of ChatGPT is considered either cheating or plagiarism while on the other hand, it is gained importance with regard to higher education and learning perspectives. The study also recommends that the Higher Education Commission (Dikti) needs to introduce the principles and regulations for AI usage in universities.

Parental leave and returning to work during the COVID-19 pandemic: an exploratory mixed-methods study.

Objective This study explored the experiences, concerns and perceptions of hospital clinical staff returning to work after parental leave during the COVID-19 pandemic. Methods An exploratory mixed-methods study was performed. Eligible staff employed at a large metropolitan tertiary health service in Melbourne, Australia, completed an ethics-approved anonymous online cross-sectional survey and/or participated in an interview between February and June 2021. Results Ninety-six staff completed a survey and four participated in an interview. Staff reported both positive and negative aspects of being on parental leave during the COVID-19 pandemic including disappointment their leave had not gone as planned; feeling isolated from family and friends; wanting greater communication from their health service; appreciating the increased opportunities for them and their partner to be at home and bond with their baby; and concerns about returning to work such as limited knowledge of COVID-19 workplace policies and potentially infecting their baby and family. Conclusions The COVID-19 pandemic had a unique impact on the parental leave and return to work experiences of hospital clinical staff. The findings suggest that staff would benefit from formal return to work policies and programs including regular contact with their manager while on parental leave and workplace reorientation on their return, especially during events such as a pandemic.

Artificial intelligence in broadcasting: awareness and perception of government policies by staff of open and distance learning institutions in Nigeria. A case study of IPPIS policies in NOUN

One of the key advantages of Artificial Intelligence (AI) is to decrease the social and economic inequalities within the society (Villani, C. et al, 2018), through the dissemination of accurate and timely information. This is only possible where A1 technologies are effectively used to broadcast vital information or policies to people about issues that affect their well-being. One of such policies is the Integrated Personnel and Payroll Information System (IPPIS) which was implemented by the Nigerian Government to forestall and further curb excessive spending and mismanagement of public funds. But one questions the adoption, implementation and efficacy of this financial policy on the Nigerian public servants, especially the staff of the federal government institutions of tertiary education. This policy also interferes with the existing financial policies in these institutions especially in Open and Distance Learning (ODL) educational systems with huge staff whose productive output depends on their social well-being orchestrated on adequate information. The National Open University of Nigeria (NOUN) is a leading ODL institution in Nigeria with 4615 workers. New government policies should not destabilise the smooth-running system and pitch her staff against the University Management or the National Universities Union against the Federal Government. Rather, a suitable subtle way of worming in government policies into the systems is ideal. In NOUN, no previous information, seminars or sensitisation was done to intimate the staff about the on-coming financial policy before its implementation despite availability of adequate AI technologies and commensurate staff to man them, hence making the staff very sad and humiliated! This has created disharmony, bitterness and rancour among the NOUN staff, especially in the academia. It has positioned the Nigerian government negatively before NOUN staff, making them continuously castigate the Federal Public Service of Nigeria. These unpleasant effects of the mass miscommunication on IPPIS demonstrate the pertinence of AI-powered broadcasting, that is, how mass communication of public policies can fail when AI-assisted broadcasting is absent. This paper investigates the level of awareness of NOUN staff about the need for the adoption and implementation of IPPIS as a government policy aimed at reforming the financial management process in Nigeria, the perception of NOUN Staff towards IPPIS and its benefits to them. The study, anchored on Robert Freeman’s Stakeholder Theory, led us to expand the theory into a multi-stakeholder theory for policy-making, based on empirical facts embedded in the model of the United Nations 17 Sustainable Development Goals for 2030.

WIC staff and healthcare professional perceptions of an EHR intervention to facilitate referrals to and improve communication and coordination with WIC: A qualitative study.

Participation in the Special Supplemental Nutrition Program for Women, Infants, and Children (WIC) has numerous benefits, yet many eligible children remain unenrolled. This qualitative study sought to explore perceptions of a novel electronic health record (EHR) intervention to facilitate referrals to WIC and improve communication/coordination between WIC staff and healthcare professionals. WIC staff in three counties were provided EHR access and recruited to participate. An automated, EHR-embedded WIC participation screening and referral tool was implemented within 8 healthcare clinics; healthcare professionals within these clinics were eligible to participate. The interview guide was developed using the Consolidated Framework for Implementation Research to elicit perceptions of this novel EHR-based intervention. Semi-structured interviews were conducted via telephone. Interviews were recorded, transcribed, coded, and analyzed using thematic analysis. Twenty semi-structured interviews were conducted with eight WIC staff, seven pediatricians, four medical assistants, and one registered nurse. Most participants self-identified as female (95%) and White (55%). We identified four primary themes: (1) healthcare professionals had a positive view of WIC but communication and coordination between WIC and healthcare professionals was limited prior to WIC having EHR access; (2) healthcare professionals favored WIC screening using the EHR but workflow challenges existed; (3) EHR connections between WIC and the healthcare system can streamline referrals to and enrollment in WIC; and (4) WIC staff and healthcare professionals recommended that WIC have EHR access. A novel EHR-based intervention has potential to facilitate healthcare referrals to WIC and improve communication/coordination between WIC and healthcare systems.

Assessment of Slaughter Slabs Waste Management on Meat, Environment and Public Health in Khartoum State

Stratified random sampling was adopted for this study to detect and interprets the impacts of three slaughter slabs’ waste on the public and environmental health. While hazard analysis critical control points (HACCP) prerequisite programs (PRPs) in the investigated slaughter slabs were assessed by administering structured checklist. Verification for these PRPs by microbiological quality of meat was determined using both Aerobic Plate Count (APC) and Total Coliform Count (TCC). In addition, the assessment of the awareness of neighborhood residence pertaining public health and environmental hazards implications of the slaughter slabs waste was done by administering two semi-structured questionnaires; the first of which targeted 50 respondents of neighborhood residence and the other targeted 10 hospitals located at the vicinity of the slaughter slabs and contained questions pertaining to medical staff perceptions and medical records of cases diagnosed as public health diseases. The result revealed that the three slaughter slabs failed to attain compliance with FAO requirements. This was reflected in the higher microbial content of meat samples with mean total bacteria count (TBC) 16. 7× 10 5; 16. 6 × 105 and 13.9 × 105 in slaughter slabs A, B and C, respectively. A highly statistically significant difference was found in the TBC between the three slaughter slabs with P < 0.05. These values were higher than the standard permissible limit (1× 105). Moreover, the mean total coliform count using (MPN) in the three slabs were 263, 418 and 361 in slaughter slab A, B and C, respectively with a higher significant difference in the TCC compared to the standard permissible limit (1×102) of MPN. The results also showed that 90% of the respondents agreed that there were public and environmental hazards of slaughter slab waste to residential neighborhoods. The findings also disclosed that 100% of the investigated physicians in charge of hospitals in the vicinity of slaughter slabs confirmed that there was association between slaughter slab waste and infectious diseases, gastro-intestinal infections as well as spread of respiratory infection. It could be concluded that slaughter slabs’ waste had negatively impacted both public and environmental health of the residential neighborhoods.

Impact of organisational, environmental, technological and human factors on cloud computing adoption for university libraries

Cloud computing has emerged as a transformative technology in many industries, including academia. As large information repositories, university libraries stand to benefit significantly from the increasing use of cloud computing. University library services especially in developing countries have been limited to what can be provided within the physical premises, potentially leading to a less flexible and less accessible information service delivery model. This situation is driven by the existing technology divide and the myriad challenges associated with information technology (IT) adoption, such as political instability, deficiencies in IT infrastructure, regulatory policies, organisational constraints, and government initiatives or support. To enhance the efficient service delivery of university libraries through the adoption of innovative IT, a thorough study to consider organisational, environmental, technological, and human issues is needed because it can be used as guidelines to assist university libraries in leapfrogging their efforts as a motivation for adopting cloud computing technology for efficient service delivery. The present study examines the success factors contributing to the adoption of cloud computing in university libraries. In light of the abovementioned factors, a review of 25 papers was conducted using the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) approach for study selection. The review’s findings demonstrate that various factors significantly influence cloud computing adoption in university libraries. Organisational factors, including top management support, training and education, organisational intention, and readiness, speed up the adoption process. Environmental factors, including competitive pressure, regulatory policies, government support, and service provider support, also impact the adoption of cloud computing. Technology-related factors, including relative advantage, compatibility, and complexity, must be considered for successful adoption. Furthermore, the extent to which cloud computing finds acceptance within university libraries is notably shaped by human factors, encompassing elements such as the attitudes and perceptions of staff towards IT change, the internal IT proficiency within the institution, and the prior technological experiences of the staff. Based on the findings, this study recommends formulating a comprehensive framework that considers all these constituent factors to facilitate the wider adoption of cloud computing in university library settings. Such a framework should focus on providing robust top-level management support, enhancing staff education and training, considering the influence of environmental factors, addressing pertinent technological challenges, and cultivating a pro-change mindset among library personnel

More than just cleaning: A qualitative descriptive study of hospital cleaning staff as caregivers

Background: Cleaning staff in hospitals can spend an average of 10–20 min per day per patient room. Published literature shows a pattern of interactions between housekeepers and patients, and that they believe themselves to be a part of the patient care team, but to date, no study has framed them as a caregiving population.
 Who is it for? Clinicians, healthcare staff, administrators & faculty
 Involvement & Engagement: Study design was co-created by the principal investigator and co-authors. Two members of the Environmental Services department at UC Davis Health were consulted in developing study aims and an online survey. (Survey data not included in article)
 Objective: To describe the experiences and perceptions of hospital housekeeping staff in relation to patient care.
 Setting: A 625-bed tertiary, academic medical center in the United States.
 Design & Methods: Eight housekeeping staff participated in this qualitative descriptive study. Design, implementation and monitoring was a product of collaboration between co-authors. Participants ranged from 40 to 62 years old, from diverse cultural and ethnic backgrounds, and worked at the study hospital from 4 months to 20 years. Interviews were conducted between September 2020-October 2020. Participants were recruited through flyers, email, and snowball sampling. Data were collected through semi-structured, in-depth interviews lasting 30 – 60 min. Data were analysed through thematic analysis using a 6-step framework that included data familiarization, generation of initial codes, search for themes, review of data, definition and naming of themes, and generation of a written report. Trustworthiness of the data was established through strategies such as reflective journaling, researcher triangulation and member-checking.
 Results: Three themes emerged: 1) “Here to take care of you” 2) Difficulties & Coping: and 3) Perceptions of their role. These three themes provide insight into participants' perceptions of patient interactions and the kind of connections they formed with patients as they went about their duties.
 
 Implications: The potential for cleaning staff providing care to patients opens multiple possibilities for future research. There is little understanding of this phenomenon from the patient perspective, and of the ways in which cleaning staff can support inter-professional care and collaboration. The retention of experienced staff is vital and so wages which reflect the value of their work must not be overlooked. Their contribution can also be recognized by giving them equal access to the same health benefits and paid sick leave, vacation leave as other staff. 
 Study findings suggest that there exists among housekeeping staff a respect for the humanity of patients, a duty to protect people from disease, and a longstanding practice of engaging in therapeutic connections with patients. These results reveal an opportunity to expand our understanding of who we call a caregiver, and to improve how we recognize and support each member of the healthcare team.

Efficiency and perceived safety of foot and ankle procedures performed on the preoperative stretcher versus operating room table.

Foot and ankle surgeons often perform minor surgeries on the preoperative stretcher instead of the operating room table. We examined whether stretcher-based and operating room table-based procedures differed with respect to operating room efficiency and staff perceptions. We retrospectively reviewed medical records of patients undergoing minor foot and ankle surgery at an ambulatory surgery centre. We collected 'time to start', the duration between patient arrival in the operating room and incision time, and 'time to exit', the duration between procedure end time and patient exit from the operating room. Staff were surveyed regarding their perceptions of stretcher-based and operating room table-based procedures. 'Time to start' was significantly shorter for stretcher-based procedures, but 'time to exit' was not. Seventeen (81%) staff members thought stretcher-based procedures increased operating room efficiency. Thirteen (62%) thought stretcher-based procedures bettered staff safety. Nineteen (91%) thought stretcher-based procedures were equivalent to or better than operating room table-based procedures for patient safety. Most (67%) would recommend stretcher-based procedures. We found small but significant time savings associated with stretcher-based procedures. Without adapting surgical scheduling practices, the impact of stretcher-based procedures on overall operating room efficiency is questionable. Nevertheless, the majority of OR staff think stretcher-based procedures increase OR efficiency and are safer for staff. Level IV, Retrospective case series.

A SCALE TO MEASURE THE PERCEPTION OF STAFF TOWARDS STUDENT READY PROGRAMME

This study aimed to develop a robust scale for measuring staff perception towards the Student READY Programme (SRP) using Likert’s summated rating scale methodology. Fifty statements were initially enlisted based on literature review and expert discussions. Relevancy ratings were sought from 160 scientists and extension specialists affiliated with the Indian Council of Agricultural Research (ICAR) and State Agricultural University (SAU). Sixty-six judges responded within a month, leading to the isolation of 38 statements in the initial screening. The first stage of screening focused on identifying statements with relevancy weightage scores exceeding 0.70, relevancy percentages surpassing 70 per cent, and mean relevancy scores exceeding 3.70. This process resulted in the final selection of 24 statements after modifications and additions based on expert comments. These statements underwent item analysis with 48 agriculture staff from non-sample areas, ultimately narrowing down to a final set of 19 statements based on ‘t’ values (>1.75) from the analysis. The reliability of the scale was determined through a split-half method, resulting in an ‘r’ value of 0.759, exceeding the standard of 0.70. This indicates the scale’s high reliability and validity. The instrument developed to measure staff perception towards SRP is deemed reliable and can be utilized by researchers in similar studies.

Virtual reading room for diagnostic radiology

Rationale and ObjectiveTo assess the perceptions of radiology staff regarding the role of virtual reality technology in diagnostic radiology after using a virtual reality (VR) headset MethodsParticipants completed a pre-study questionnaire assessing their familiarity with VR technology and its potential role in radiology. Using a VR headset, participants entered a simulated reading room (SieVRt, Luxsonic Technologies) with three large virtual monitors. They were able to view plain radiographs, ultrasound, CT, and MRI images and pull up and compare multiple images simultaneously. They then completed a post-study questionnaire to re-assess their perception about the role of VR technology for diagnostic radiology. ResultsFifteen participants were enrolled, with 33.3 % attendings, 40 % fellows, and 26.7 % residents. Pre-study, 60 % reported they were “not familiar” with VR technology and 66.7 % had never used it. On a 1 to 5 scale, the median perceived likelihood of VR having a role in radiology significantly increased from 3 (IQR 2–3) pre-study to 4 (IQR 4–4) post-study; p = 0.014. Image contrast and resolution were adequate according to most participants, with 53.3 % strongly agreeing and 33.3 % agreeing. The headset was comfortable for 73.3 % and did not induce nausea in any participant. Confidence in VR technology improved after using the headset for 80 %. According to 80 %, future VR technology could replace a PACS workstation. DiscussionRadiologists’ perception regarding the role of virtual reality in diagnostic interpretation improves after a hands-on trial of the technology, and VR has the potential to replace a traditional workstation in certain situations.

LOVOT ROBOT AS COMPANIONS FOR OLDER ADULTS IN LONG-TERM CARE

Abstract This exploratory, mixed-methods study explores how older adults living in Canadian Long-Term Care (LTC) homes experience and perceive LOVOT, an AI-driven social robot from Japan. It is an extended arm of a mixed-methods, three-country study conducted in Singapore, Hong Kong, and Canada. Our Canadian sample consists of 20 older adults and 40 interdisciplinary staff, and 10 leadership team members. The participants join four weekly sessions of interaction with LOVOT. In the quantitative portion of the study, questionnaires are administered before and after interaction with LOVOT to assess participants’ experiences of the LOVOT robot. The qualitative portion consists of individual conversational interviews with older adults and focus groups with the LTC staff and leadership. We use thematic analysis to guide our initial conceptual framework, and later use both Chi-square tests and content analysis for our quantitative and qualitative data. This study demonstrates (1) the experiences and perceptions of older adults and their family members regarding their interactions with the LOVOT robot, and (2) the LTC staff and leadership perceptions on having the LOVOT robot in LTC. The study offers insights into the potential role of social robots in LTC homes across eastern and western countries.

ASSESSING STAFF PERCEPTIONS OF WORKPLACE SAFETY IN NURSING HOMES: ITEM SET DEVELOPMENT AND TESTING

Abstract Workplace safety is important for advancing resident safety and eliminating harm to both nursing home staff and residents. The goal of this study was to develop and test survey items to assess how the organizational culture in nursing homes supports workplace safety for staff. After conducting a literature review and background interviews with nursing home staff and workplace safety experts, we identified important areas of workplace safety culture (i.e., workplace hazards; moving/transferring/lifting residents; inappropriate resident behavior toward staff; interactions among staff; supervisor/management support for workplace safety; workplace safety reporting; and, work stress/burnout) and drafted survey items to assess each area. These draft items were administered with the AHRQ Surveys on Patient Safety Culture (SOPS) Nursing Home Survey to staff in 48 U.S. nursing homes. We conducted psychometric analysis on data from 2,468 respondents. Confirmatory factor analysis results and internal consistency and site-level reliability coefficients were acceptable for the 18 survey items grouped into 6 composite measures. All composite measures were significantly correlated (p< 0.05) with each other and with the overall rating on workplace safety, indicating adequate conceptual convergence among survey measures. On average, 33% of respondents reported symptoms of burnout. Higher burnout was significantly correlated with lower job satisfaction (rs=-0.42) and greater intent to leave the nursing home (rs=0.37). Nursing homes and researchers can use the Workplace Safety Supplemental Item Set to assess nursing home staff burnout and the dimensions of organizational culture that support staff safety, and to identify both strengths and areas for improvement.
