Handwashing Training for Hotel Employees to Reduce the Incidence f Traveler Diarrhea Disease in Tourists

Traveler diarrhea is known as Bali's belly and is often suffered by foreign tourists who visit Bali Island. These activities aimed to see the diarrhea status and knowledge level of hotel employees of the hand washing method. We held this community devotion at a hotel in the Kalibukbuk District, Buleleng – Bali Province, in April 2023. The objective of these activities was for all the hotel employees, a number 44 people. The subjects were chosen by the total sampling method. The inclusion criteria are the hotel employees were registered and willing to participate. The inclusion criteria are sick and on duty. The data collected are the results of a complete fecal laboratory and the level of knowledge about excellent and correct hand washing. Complete fecal data was collected by observation, while knowledge level data was collected by the self-administered questionnaire method. Furthermore, the data were analyzed in a univariate descriptive. Of the forty-four service participants, twenty-one were willing to collect fecal samples. The results of laboratory tests were obtained 100% of the hotel staff had complete fecal results within normal limits based on indicators of color, texture, fecal consistency, the appearance of bacteria, fungi, parasites, viruses, blood, lenders, pus, meat fiber, sugar and fat in feces and potential fecal, hydrogen (pH). The staff's knowledge level score about handwashing increased from 75.7 before counseling to 99.2 after counseling. Hotel employees are free from traveler's diarrheal disease and their level of knowledge increases after being given a campaign on proper and correct handwashing methods. So, it is advisable to routinely conduct fecal examinations once every one year and keep. Updating the knowledge and skills of staff in washing hands appropriately and correctly as an effort to prevent disease, especially travelers' diarrhea.

A45Developing low carbon care – using simulation to calculate and reduce carbon emissions

Climate change is considered one of the most pressing global concerns for the future and the single biggest health threat [1]. Healthcare delivery is a major contributor to the climate crisis, producing 4.4% of net carbon global emissions today [2]. One of the largest contributors to NHS carbon emissions is the use of equipment, consumables and clinical care itself [2]. Therefore, clinical staff have a significant part to play in reducing carbon emissions and achieving national carbon reduction targets. However, they must be carbon literate and understand the impact of personal practice on global carbon emissions and be able to identify ways to deliver low carbon models of care [3]. Simulation could play a significant role in educating and developing sustainable practice in healthcare students through a system thinking approach. Allowing students to examine the environmental impact of healthcare delivery and support innovative solutions to reduce carbon emissions without compromising care. The aim was to firstly increase nursing students’ awareness of the carbon emissions from the delivery of patient care. Secondly to improve clinical decision-making in the selection and implementation of interventions to enable the delivery of low carbon care. Undergraduate nursing students took part in a specifically designed simulation scenario. Students completed the scenario of a patient presenting to the Emergency Department with exacerbation of Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD), implementing care and interventions as clinically indicated. After completion of the simulation students then calculated the carbon emissions from the clinical resources they used, using the Centre for Sustainable Healthcare carbon emissions calculation. Debriefing identified that students did not consider sustainability and carbon emissions in their current clinical decision-making. Students were shocked by the amount of carbon emissions generated from interventions. Students identified areas where they could reduce carbon emissions without compromising care such as inappropriate use of gloves, using dry powdered inhalers, and reducing unnecessary cannulation. Simulation could play a pivotal role in developing sustainable clinical decision-making skills in healthcare students and staff. Actively calculating carbon emissions allows students to directly see the environmental impact of their practice, increasing carbon literacy and stimulating low carbon care practice. This use of simulation should be explored further by educators across professions to support both national and global climate change policies.

Implementation of Marriage Policy and Catin's Attitudes Regarding Marriage Counseling on the Performance of Suscatin Mentors in Realizing Family Marriage Adjustments

This research aims to investigate the impact of marriage policies and the attitudes of prospective brides and grooms towards marriage counseling on the performance of pre-marital counselors in achieving marital adjustments within Garut Regency. Employing an exploratory analysis method, the study focused on the leaders of the Marriage Advice, Development, and Preservation Agency in Garut Regency, including the Chairperson and Vice-Chairpersons, totaling 86 individuals, utilizing a census sampling technique.
 Data collection encompassed questionnaires, interviews, observations, and documentary research. Statistical path analysis was the chosen technique to address the research hypotheses. The primary hypothesis testing revealed that the implementation of marriage policies and the attitudes of prospective brides and grooms influenced pre-marital counselor performance in achieving adjustments by 12.79%, with the remaining 87.21% attributed to other factors. Further sub-hypothesis testing demonstrated that marriage policies and prospective brides' and grooms' attitudes toward marriage counseling accounted for 25.43%, while other factors constituted 74.57%. Intriguingly, the implementation of marriage policies and attitudes toward marriage counseling did not significantly impact marital adjustments (path coefficient of 0.0364). Pre-marital counselor performance also had limited effects on marital adjustments (path coefficient of 0.1526). Moreover, there was a positive correlation between the implementation of marriage policies and the attitudes of prospective brides and grooms toward marriage counseling (partial correlation coefficient of 0.6783). The research identified key issues, such as suboptimal policy implementation, lack of awareness and motivation among prospective brides and grooms, ineffective interagency collaboration, and a shortage of skilled staff among pre-marital counselors. In light of these findings, it is recommended to improve policy implementation, enhance interagency cooperation, and increase awareness among prospective brides and grooms regarding the significance of pre-marital counseling for successful marriages. These measures are essential for addressing the prevalent marital issues and lack of warmth and affection in young couples' family lives in Garut Regency.

8.F. Workshop: SDG indicators: country scenarios and the way towards 2030

Abstract Background The UN 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development is a global action plan aimed at achieving a better future for all. The 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) are at the core of this Agenda, balancing the economic, social and ecological dimensions of sustainable development. The 17 SDGs were adopted by the United Nations in 2015 as a blueprint for reducing inequalities, eliminating extreme poverty, rehabilitating the natural environment, ensuring access to justice for all, improving health and well-being, and building global partnerships supporting sustainable development. From the beginning, data availability was widely discussed. Previous have covered the issue of SDG data gaps; we will concentrate on SDG 3, Ensure healthy lives and promote well-being for all at all ages, though there are health-related indicators under other SDGs, e.g. 2.2.2 and 5.2.2. Developing SDG Indicators The UN General Assembly adopted the global indicator framework in 2017 with a set of 231 indicators, published in the UN SDG Reports, where countries are grouped according to geography. From the perspective of Europe, this makes sense, as i.e. neglected tropical diseases and births not attended by health personnel are uncommon. Indicators demonstrating social inequalities in health, or risk factors for non-communicable disease, such as insufficient physical activity and low fruit and vegetable consumption, are more relevant and demonstrate persistent threats to population health. In accordance with the UN's original mandate, some countries are therefore developing new local indicators. Addressing data gaps In the WHO European Region, the biggest challenge regarding SDG data is time lag. 6 of the 53 Member States (MS) in this region report mortality data from 2017 or earlier, and 39 MS have at least one year of missing mortality data, making it difficult to monitor demographic trends. Until MS are able to report timely and complete data, SDG reporting is unlikely to get better. Often flaws in the underlying health information systems (HISs) are the causes of the gaps. Major barriers to the optimal functioning of HISs are fragmentation of data sources, limited accessibility and unclear rules around use and reuse of data; barriers in the implementation of electronic health records; governance issues related to unclear responsibilities, including funding gaps and weak collaboration; legal gaps and misinterpretation of laws surrounding data protection, and limited number of skilled staff for implementation. These three abstracts show very different scenarios from three countries that illustrates how diverse the European Region is and how differently the countries work towards the SDGs, demonstrating what is currently happening in Europe regarding defining, collecting and reporting SDG indicators. Finally, WHO along with MS will offer some ideas for the best ways to optimize the years until the 2030 SDG achievement deadline. Key messages • Examples from three countries demonstrate challenges connected to SDG monitoring, including data gaps and reporting issues. • Flaws in HISs can lead to data gaps; WHO proposes some ways to alleviate this.

Significant Factors Affecting the Quality of Housing Infrastructure Project Construction in Saudi Arabia Using PLS-SEM

Quality construction contributes to the overall sustainability of the built environment, especially for infrastructure projects. High-quality housing infrastructure projects benefit individuals, communities, and the economy. Most studies are concerned with identifying the reasons for the quality of a construction project. However, only a few of them have been concerned with housing infrastructure. In addition, no studies have considered the interdependencies among the factors affecting the quality of housing infrastructure projects, leading to these causes not being evaluated effectively. This paper aims to specify and organize the significant factors affecting the quality of housing infrastructure projects. These projects suffer from the availability of all infrastructure services simultaneously before their execution. A comprehensive literature review was implemented to collect all the factors affecting their quality. Construction sector experts designed and filled out a questionnaire based on the collected data. The survey data were then statistically analyzed using a partial least squares structural equation model (PLS-SEM) to organize the causes and examine the interdependencies among the quality of each cause. Our main finding revealed that based on the PLS-SEM, the top three factors affecting the construction quality were the skill and experience of supervisory staff, errors and omissions in design documents, and the lack of communication between supervisors and laborers. Based on the PLS-SEM ranking, labor, equipment, and site staff were responsible for more than half of the top 10 causes. The PLS-SEM results showed that the contractor material (CM) and project design (PD) percentages were 20% and 30%.. In addition, there is an interaction influence between the labor/equipment/site staff (LES) causes and PD causes. This study assists stakeholders in understanding how to use Six Sigma construction concepts to enhance performance in the nation’s construction industry, which helps contractors make improvements in variability reduction and save costs in construction projects.

Care home co-worker relationships: a key ingredient for care home quality

Abstract The relationships that care home staff have with their co-workers are a key influence on the way they feel about their work and how they perform in their roles. This has a direct influence on quality of care and life as experienced by residents. However, care home providers face a challenge to promote co-worker relationships because: (a) the care home workforce often lack human resource oversight; (b) registered managers (and nurses), who often lack leadership training, are tasked with managing the working relationships of staff, the majority of whom are care workers of different ages, ethnicity and cultural beliefs; and (c) most (care workers) do not have any formal qualifications and are not routinely provided with the communication skills to facilitate collaborative working in dynamic and pressured climates. In this forum article, we consider these challenges and their implications for collaborative co-worker relationships, before highlighting opportunities for research, policy and practice. An important starting point is to focus on developing the leadership skills of staff at all levels and provide care workers with the skills they require to manage their working relationships and support them in their everyday work for the benefit of residents.

Effects of the Acceptance and Commitment Therapy on Resiliency, Self-Compassion, and Corona Disease Anxiety on Medical Staff Involved in COVID-19 Pandemic

Background: Since the beginning of 2020, the world has been grappling with a common problem, the coronavirus or COVID-19, causing a significant increase in worry, anxiety, and stress worldwide. In Iran, the rapid spread of the COVID-19 virus has posed serious threats to individuals' physical and mental health. Due to their extensive physical contact with infected individuals, medical staff experience high anxiety levels compared to other members of society. Objectives: The present study aimed to investigate the effectiveness of the acceptance and commitment approach on the resilience, self-compassion, and corona disease anxiety of medical staff involved in the COVID-19 response in Hamadan, Iran. Methods: This study utilized a semi-experimental design, including pre-test, post-test, follow-up, and control group. The study population included all medical staff involved in the COVID-19 response in Hamadan in 2021. From this population, 40 individuals were purposively selected and randomly assigned to either the experimental or control groups (20 participants in each group). Before the intervention, both groups underwent measurements (pre-test) using the Connor and Davidson Resilience Questionnaire (2003), the Neff Self-Compassion Scale (2003), and Alipour et al.'s Corona Disease Anxiety Questionnaire (2018). After the intervention of acceptance and commitment therapy for the experimental group, the same tests were conducted again for both groups (post-test). Finally, three months later, the same measurements were repeated for both groups (follow-up). The data were analyzed using repeated measures analysis of variance in SPSS-25. Results: The findings demonstrated the significant impact of acceptance and commitment therapy in enhancing resilience (P ≤ 0.001) and self-compassion (P ≤ 0.001), as well as reducing COVID-19 anxiety among the medical staff in Hamadan (P ≤ 0.001). Moreover, these effects remained stable during the follow-up phase. Conclusions: The results underscore the importance of utilizing acceptance and commitment therapy to enhance resilience and self-compassion while reducing anxiety among medical staff managing the disease. Additionally, hospital educational and executive managers should prioritize training medical staff in acceptance and commitment skills to effectively address COVID-19 anxiety.

Prep-for-Labor: Overview of FIGO's labor and delivery triage bundles of care to optimize maternal and newborn outcomes.

Childbirth is an intense event in which decisions may need to be made in seconds to guarantee the health of both mother and newborn. Despite health systems and care approaches varying widely according to real-life scenarios, availability of facilities, beliefs, resources, staff, and geography, among others, optimal outcomes should be ensured worldwide. Triaging low-risk pregnancies from high-risk pregnancies is the first step to ensure proper allocation of resources. From this need, we developed FIGO's Prep-For-Labor triage methods, a series of 2-minute labor and delivery bundles of care, with special regard given to low- and middle-income countries and rural settings. Around 80% of women, once properly triaged, can pursue vaginal delivery with minimal intervention, while those at risk can either be managed on site or transferred promptly to an advanced care site. FIGO's bundles of care and good practice recommendations for labor and delivery and immediate newborn triage cover four clinical scenarios: (1) preterm labor; (2) induced or spontaneous labor at term; (3) cesarean delivery; and (4) newborn care. From rapid triage of the mother (low vs high risk) to the list of required equipment, description of skilled staff, and coordination of resources, the recommendations for care are introduced across these four areas in this overview article. Implementing the proposed management steps described in each summary can improve maternal and neonatal outcomes.

Staff knowledge, attitudes and confidence levels for fall preventions in older person long-term care facilities: a cross-sectional study

BackgroundFalls are the most common health problem affecting older people in long-term care facilities (LTCFs), with well-recognised adverse psychological and physical resident outcomes, and high staff burden and financial cost. LTCF staff knowledge and skills can play a vital role in providing and promoting fall prevention care.MethodsA descriptive cross-sectional survey study was conducted across 13 LTCF sites in the Southwest of Ireland; a sampling frame facilitated inclusion of a range of provider types and facility sizes. An existing questionnaire, based on fall prevention guidance, and examining staff knowledge, skills and attitudes, was distributed in physical and online formats.ResultThe response rate was 15% (n = 155), predominantly healthcare assistants, staff nurses and senior nurses. Almost 90% expressed high confidence levels for delivering fall prevention interventions and being aware of how falls affect LTCFs. However, over half underestimated the fall rate in LTCFs, and only 60% had adequate knowledge. Longer experience in working with older people in healthcare services was associated with greater knowledge (p = .001) and confidence in fall prevention interventions (p = .01), while senior nurses had more knowledge than others (p = .01). LTCF staff had lowest knowledge about “identification systems for residents at high risk of falling”, “keeping confused residents near nursing stations”, “the effect of using antipsychotic medicine on falls”, “using a toileting regimen” and “staff responsibility regarding fall prevention efforts”. Despite their knowledge gaps, nearly 50% thought they had enough fall prevention training; their main preference for any further fall education training was face-to-face education.ConclusionThe results, with the caveat of a low response rate, show the need for interdisciplinary fall prevention training that is tailored to both the perceived learning needs and actual knowledge gap of LTCF staff and their preferences for learning delivery, as part of an overall approach to reducing fall-related adverse outcomes.

It was found that patients who are highly satisfied with medical care rate the presence of professional communication skills in medical staff significantly higher.

Diagnosis and treatment challenges of autism spectrum disorder at a reference hospital in Douala, Cameroon

BackgroundAutism spectrum disorder (ASD) is a neurodevelopmental disability associated with deficiency in social interaction, unusual development of social communication, and restricted or repetitive behaviors, interests and activities. This study aimed to describe management of pediatric ASD in Cameroon, a resource-constrained Central Africa country.MethodsA retrospective study was conducted between December 2021 and May 2022 at the Pediatrics department of a reference hospital in the town of Douala. Data of interest of children with ASD were collected through eligible medical records and telephone discussions with their parents/guardians.ResultsMedical records of 145 children with ASD aged 2–15 years were included in the study, giving a hospital ASD prevalence of 3.7%. Time delay between parental concerns and hospital management was specified in 69 (47.58%) children, and among them 38 (55.07%) had a mean delay ± SD was less than five months. Children were mainly males (76%) and aged 4–5 years (37.93%), with mean age ± SD of 44.4 ± 22.2 months old. The main consultation reason was delayed language development (100%). Mean time delay between parental concerns and the first medical consultation was 18 months (range 1–60 month). Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder were found in 68.18% of children aged ≥ 6 years old. Neuropsychology (66.2%) was the most frequently used intervention. Some children were treated using traditional medicine.ConclusionsManagement of pediatric ASD is strongly influenced by socioeconomic and cultural context. It is crucial to implement behavioral change campaigns in community, organize training sessions to medical staff on diagnosis and treatment of ASD, and provide specialized centers with skilled staff and equipped material.

Social Workers in Socio-Legal Collaborations: Re-Asserting a Pivotal Role of Influence and Leadership

Abstract Current legal discourse puts forward socio-legal collaborations, integrated social work and legal practice and medical/legal partnerships as innovations from the legal sector aimed at resolving clients’ intertwined legal and social issues. In doing so it has generalised and diminished the specific contribution in these programmes of highly skilled social work staff. This article sets out a study of Australian socio-legal collaborations to re-establish the significant contribution made by social workers in this sector. It argues that social workers are the dominant social service profession and provide integral practice and leadership contributions. It argues that further research in Australia and internationally is required to support social work to stand in leadership alongside lawyers, not only in these programmes but also in the discourse and sector that surrounds them.

Talent management and sustainable performance in travel agents: do green intellectual capital and green servant leadership matter?

ABSTRACT Talent management (TM) can contribute to improving sustainable business performance in the face of a competitive and socially responsible environment. The use of TM to improve tourism staff skills and motivation is contentious, given such jobs are seen as routine and low-paid. Indeed, the precise processes through which TM techniques support sustained performance outcomes in tourism enterprises requires examination. This paper provides empirical evidence for the impact of TM practices on sustainable organizational performance (SOP). This effect of TM on performance is mediated by green intellectual capital (GIC). The moderating role of green servant leadership (GSL) on the link between GIC and SOP is also examined. PLS-SEM was employed to analyze 327 responses collected from travel agencies employees in Egypt. The results reveal that as expected, TM practices have significant effects on GIC, which in turn significantly impacts SOP. The mediating role of GIC on the relationship between TM practices (apart from talent retention) and SOP is supported. However, the moderating role of GSL is not confirmed. These results demonstrate the importance of an inclusive approach to developing staff, leading to intellectual capital and improved organizational sustainability. The study highlights the importance of strategic workforce planning and succession management.

Training Packages and Patient Management Tools for Healthcare Staff Working with Small, Nutritionally At-Risk Infants Aged under 6 Months: A Mixed-Methods Study.

Skilled staff are essential for successfully managing child malnutrition, especially when dealing with small, nutritionally at-risk infants aged under 6 months. Training and patient management tools provide healthcare workers with core knowledge, skills, and support. To inform more effective future approaches and support the rollout of new WHO wasting prevention/treatment guidelines, we aimed to map and understand globally available training and patient management tools. In a mixed-methods study, we searched the literature to identify different training packages and management tools and conducted semi-structured key informant interviews with staff working in a variety of internationally organizations and settings. Data were analyzed using a phenomenological approach. We found 14 different training packages targeting different settings, including inpatient, outpatient, and humanitarian contexts. Curricula varied, especially around breastfeeding and maternal assessment, mental health, and nutritional status. Key informants (n = 9) reported gaps regarding counseling skills, time for practice, and how to effectively provide mental health counseling. Training delivery was highly dependent on resources and setting. In conclusion, future training should consider setting-specific needs, opportunities, and limitations. Emphasis on breastfeeding-support skills, mental health support, and counseling skills is needed. Enhanced practical sessions, refresher trainings, and ongoing monitoring and support are vital to ensure sustained high-quality services.
