The Influence of Social Awareness and Social Skills on the Quality of Midwife Partnerships in Postnatal Care Services

Postpartum maternal deaths have always been more than 50% of total maternal deaths from 2016-2021, and the realization of visits by postpartum mothers at Community Health Centers has also not met the target. The low number of visits is due to the fact that postpartum mothers still need strong encouragement and motivation. Midwives have the role of providing information, education and monitoring the condition of postpartum mothers, so midwives need support from social competence and good partnerships with various parties. This research aims to analyze the influence of social competence, which includes social awareness and social skills, on midwife partnerships in postnatal care services. The research design is observational analytic with a cross-sectional time approach. The research location was carried out at 63 Community Health Centers, Surabaya City, Indonesia with a sample of 100 midwives taken using Proportional Stratified Random Sampling. The variables measured are social awareness, social skills and partnerships through distributing questionnaires. Data were analyzed using the chi-square test. This research has gone through an ethical review with number 085/HRECC.FODM/III/2022. The research results showed that the social awareness competency and social skills of midwives related to postnatal care services had a good percentage rating (93%, 81%, 98%). The quality of midwife partnerships in providing postnatal care services is influenced by social awareness (p= 0.04 & PR= 0.714x), but not influenced by social skills (p=0.345). If midwives' social awareness is better, the quality of midwife partnerships will be better. Therefore, midwives must be able to establish good relationships and be more open in communicating with colleagues or other work units when serving postpartum mothers.

Piloting the role of the chief well-being officer in Veterans Health Administration: The auspicious start.

Emerging evidence from private sector hospitals indicates that a chief well-being officer (CWO) can be an impactful role to lead organizational burnout mitigation efforts in health care systems. A descriptive process evaluation was conducted to learn about facilitators and barriers of integrating this role within the Veterans Health Administration (VA). A pilot intervention inclusive of three domains-culture of well-being, efficiency of practice, and personal resilience-was implemented. Eight VA medical centers and two regional network offices received 18 months of implementation support from October 2021 to March 2023. Appointed CWOs were tasked with implementing key interventions in at least two work units at each location. Administrative records were used to track implementation progress. Surveys were administered to participating work units pre- and postintervention to assess changes in key measures. Qualitative interviews elicited information about intervention implementation including barriers and facilitators. Not formally hiring CWOs in the role resulted in limited time to work on intervention implementation. This was insufficient and it impacted their ability to truly function in the role. Several work units experienced multiple challenges and were unable to implement the full intervention. Despite these challenges, when examining work unit changes, improvements in culture of health and well-being and change readiness were observed. The results support the importance of a formalized CWO role; however, findings highlight important factors that must be addressed for successful integration of role to drive intervention effectiveness. Comprehensive interventions addressing both system- and individual-level drivers of burnout show promise for improving VA workforce well-being but warrant further study.

PREDICTING RISK OF EMPLOYEE INJURY IN A PEDIATRIC HOSPITAL

PURPOSEHealthcare has one of the highest rates of non-fatal occupational injury as compared to other industries. Yet, evaluation of risk determinants and prediction algorithms in hospital settings remains limited. METHODSThis study examines risk factors for employee injuries in a large pediatric hospital and evaluates prediction algorithms using hospital surveillance data, incident reports, and work unit measures such as patient density and employee workload. We employed multiple statistical models and machine learning tools, including logistic regression (LR), random forest (RF), penalized logistic regression (PLR), Naïve Bayes, neural network (NN), XGBoost (XG), and mixed-effects logistic regression (GLMER) to predict employee injury risk for specific time periods. We used cross-validation and receiver-operator characteristic (ROC) curve analyses to assess model performance. RESULTSGLMER, LR, and PLR were superior to other models, with higher AUC values (∼0.76), indicating good discrimination ability, though accuracy and specificity varied across models. RF showed high accuracy and specificity and comparable AUC with the top performing models. Further analyses using GLMER revealed variability in employee injury risk across months, days, and hospital units, identifying peaks on Tuesdays and Saturdays and in April and July, with lows in March and June. CONCLUSIONOur findings highlight the significance of monitoring specific risk factors within pediatric hospital settings and pairing them with appropriate predictive algorithms to effectively predict and mitigate employee injuries. These insights indicate that continuous monitoring may help enhance employee safety. Future work should evaluate additional predictors that may be obtained from individual hospital units, which may inform targeted prevention strategies.

Religiosity as a buffer against the impact of abusive supervision on employee unethical behavior: a moderated mediation model

PurposeThis research seeks to examine the mitigating effect of religiosity on the relationship between abusive supervision and unethical behavior in employees, with moral disengagement serving as a mediating factor. Drawing on social cognitive theory, the study proposes an overarching moderated mediation framework to analyze this complex dynamic.Design/methodology/approachThe testing of the model was based on hierarchical data obtained from 70 work units in services sector. Within this framework, 70 supervisors evaluated the unethical conduct of employees, while 700 employees assessed the abusive supervision they experienced and reported on their own moral disengagement and religiosity. For the analysis of both the measurement and the hypothesized models, multilevel modeling techniques in the Mplus software were utilized.FindingsThe study's findings indicate a direct positive link between abusive supervision and employees' unethical behavior, with moral disengagement mediating this relationship. Furthermore, the research discovered that abusive supervision leads to unethical behavior in employees through moral disengagement only in instances where their religiosity is low.Originality/valueThis research delves deeper by elucidating the role of moral disengagement in the dynamic between abusive supervision and unethical behavior. Diverging from prior research, this study uniquely highlights the moderating role of religiosity, showing its potential to weaken the impact of abusive supervision on unethical behavior in employees through moral disengagement.

The Effect of Human Resource Experience on the Quality of SKPD Financial Statements with the Government's Internal Control System as a Moderating Variable

The purpose of this study is to test the influence of human resource experience on the quality of SKPD financial statements with the government's internal control system as a moderating variable. This type of research uses explantory with the use of a quantitative approach. The population in this study is 38 Regional Apparatus Work Units (SKPD) that have general functional positions in the preparation of financial statements in the West Java Provincial Government. The method of determining the sample is the census method so that the entire population is used as a research sample. The data in this study are primary data and data collection techniques using questionnaires. Hypothesis testing uses the Moderation Regression Model with the help of the Statistical Product and Service Solution (SPSS) version 25 program. The results of this study prove that human resource experience has a positive and insignificant influence on the quality of SKPD financial statements, and the government's internal control system is unable to increase the influence of human resource experience on the quality of SKPD financial statements. It is hoped that there will be improvements in government apparatus, as well as leaders to always provide support and evaluation of employees and experience in creating a supportive work environment to improve the quality of SKPD financial reports through education and training.

Leaning on leadership? Understanding how a lean implementation impacts hospital workers’ performance

This study examines the extent to which a Lean implementation impacts hospital work unit performance. It also explores the extent to which willingness to change and role clarity explain these relationships. The longitudinal data for this study were collected from a Lean implementation study conducted in a Dutch hospital and then analyzed using structural equation modelling. The results reveal that the practice of Lean Leadership behaviour positively affects performance, both directly and indirectly through role clarity. However, other Lean practices, involvement in continuous improvement and Lean techniques, did not enhance hospital performance. The inconsistent findings concerning Lean’s soft practices suggest that major events (the COVID-19 pandemic in this case) can influence the implementation of Lean and the subsequent outcomes, potentially obstructing sustainable results. The novelty of this study is in its multi-wave design to evaluate the long-term effects of Lean and line managers’ leadership behaviour in a hospital context. Furthermore, it enhances our understanding of the mechanisms explaining the relationship between Lean and its outcomes in healthcare.

ОБЩИЙ ПОДХОД К РЕШЕНИЮ ЗАДАЧИ ОБЕСПЕЧЕНИЯ РАБОТО-СПОСОБНОСТИ ТРАКТОРОВ В АПК

Agricultural production is characterized by the seasonality of mechanized work in the cultivation of crops. In addition, the amount of wear on aggregates and equipment systems is determined, on the one hand, by natural and climatic conditions and, on the other, by the nomenclature of operations performed in the planned period, organizational, production and technical conditions in a particular farm. Tractor units and systems are interconnect with each other and interdependent on each other, i.e. the amount of wear of some parts affects the wear of others. In this regard, the purpose of the research is to develop a concept for ensuring the operability of tractors in the agro-industrial complex by optimizing the resource consumption of aggregates and systems, taking into account the conditions of their operation. The most promising direction for improving the efficiency of tractor operation is the development of measures to optimize the resource consumption of their units and systems, taking into account the operating conditions of machinery in the agro-industrial complex. To predict changes in the physical parameter of a part, unit, and tractor system for the planned period of a certain amount of work, a concept is introduced - an indicator of resource consumption, which determines the amount of change in the diagnostic parameter of the unit state per unit of work performed. The assessment of the tractor condition is carry out by the level of equipment resource consumption, which makes it possible to promptly respond to the state of technical operation of equipment, the conditions of their operation and develop measures to optimize resource consumption. The resource consumption level (Urr) of the tractor, theoretically, can vary from 0 to 1. In this case, Urr=0 it is assumed that the tractor is written off from the balance sheet of the farm or is missing; with Urr=1, it is assumed that the tractor is in good condition and all tractor parameters have nominal values. With known patterns of changes in the level of resource consumption for various types of agricultural operations, it becomes possible to plan the range of work for each tractor for the planned period, taking into account the optimal resource consumption of their units and systems.
