A Descriptive Study on the Attitudes and Perceptual Barriers of Nursing Staff Towards Conducting Scientific Research

Nursing research has a tremendous influence on current and future up gradation of nursing profession. Mandatory nursing research courses are being taught in almost every nursing program. But unfortunately it is found that nursing lags behind in conducting scientific research in compare to other disciplines due to various factors. Aim: To assess the nursing faculty members' attitudes and perceived barriers towards conducting scientific research. Method: Study was conducted by using descriptive research design; self - structured questionnaire was used to collect data from 65 nursing faculties from different nursing colleges of Guwahati by using convenient sampling technique. Result: Out of 65 faculty members majority i. e. (96.9%) were female, (56.9%) were single, (50.8%) had completed B. sc Nursing/ Post Basic B. sc Nursing, (49.2%) were clinical instructor, (40%) had 1 - 3 years of working experience and (40%) had involved in both teaching and clinical duty. In assessing attitude majority i. e. (86.2%) answered that nurses with different degrees were not in need of knowledge based on the research as much as medical doctors, (93.8%) replied that nursing profession consists of practical work and does not have to include research, (95.4%) disagreed that nurses do not need of research in nursing to improve the nursing care as nurses can manage that by themselves, (96.9%) disagreed that participation in research work does not contribute to increased skills in nursing profession. Lack of confidence to perform the research activities, unawareness of using electronic data base, lack of knowledge about research methodology, no sufficient time to find research ROL, lack of statistical knowledge, see little benefits for self from research, other organizational goals are considered as higher priority rather than research activities, insufficient time on work place and overloaded with curriculum, no time for conducting research were found as barrier in conducting research. Conclusion: Nursing faculties were found having positive attitude towards conducting nursing research, but due to certain barrier they were unable to conduct it. Most of the faculties reported that they need proper guidance, statistical training, funds and mentors to conduct scientific research.

Procedure for Certification of Stomatologists (Dentists) and Maxillofacial Surgeons in Ukraine as of 2024: Analysis of General Provisions and Provisions on Certification Commissions

Each country has different legislative features of continuing professional development (CPD) of doctors and corresponding state сertification. The purpose of this paper is to highlight and to make the quick analysis of two aspects of the Procedure for Certification of Stomatologists and Maxillofacial Surgeons of the Order of the Ministry of Healthcare of Ukraine dated February 22, 2019, No. 446 (as amended by the Order of the Ministry of Healthcare of Ukraine dated August 18, 2021, No. 1753). First aspect is General Provisions of the Procedure for Certification of Doctors and second ascpect is Provision on Certification Commissions. The General Provisions include seven clauses, and the Provisions on Certification Commissions include 11 detailed clauses. Clauses of the General Provisions include such topics as (1) the mechanism for the сertification of doctors, (2) tasks of conducting certification, (3) terminology, (4) types of certifications, (5) the List of medical positions in health care institutions, according to which certification is carried out, (6) the main place of work and part-time work during the certification, and (7) deadlines for submitting documents for the next voluntary certification. Clauses of the Provisions on Certification Commissions include information about (1) state bodies under which certification commissions are created, (2) the procedure for approving the personal composition of the certification commission, (3) composition of the Central Certification Commission, (4) composition of the certification commissions and its subcommittees, (5) the periodicity of renewal is not less than 1/3 of the composition of certification commissions, (6) quantitative composition of certification commissions at their meetings, (7) frequency of meetings of certification commissions, (8) the decision-making mechanism of commissions, (9) functions of the Central Certification Commission, (10) list of doctors certified by the Central Certification Commission, and (11) places of certification of doctors working in health care institutions that are part of the management of central executive bodies, other bodies where relevant certification commissions have been established. This certification procedure in Ukraine applies to doctors of all eight stomatological (dental) specialties, namely (1) doctors-stomatologists, (2)pediatric doctors-stomatologists, (3) doctors-stomatologists-orthodontists, (4) doctors-stomatologists-prosthodontists, (5) doctors-stomatologists-periodontists, (6) doctors-stomatologists-therapists, (7) doctors-stomatologists-surgeons, and (8) maxillofacial surgeons (also known as maxillofacial doctors-stomatologists). Certificate of assignment of a higher qualification category to a doctor-stomatologist-surgeon in the specialty “Surgical Stomatology” (also known as “Oral Surgery”) has been added to the article for clarity. This article provides a detailed analysis of the translation of the General Provisions and the Provisions on Certification Commissions as two basic parts of the Procedure for the certification of doctors in Ukraine.

Высокопоставленные чиновники Администрации Президента РФ: историческая динамика занятости после ухода с должности

The article is devoted to a comparative analysis of the characteristics of the post-career of high-ranking PA officials who left their positions under President Yeltsin and in the post-Yeltsin period - and the factors that determine them. The empirical basis of the study is a database that includes biographical questionnaires on AP figures who at least once left a key position in this body. The study showed that the role of federal executive authorities (including the government of the Russian Federation and law enforcement agencies) as a channel of post-career has increased. Transitions to the federal parliament are rare in both eras, but the proportion of officials who ended up in the State Duma after their resignation (especially a year later) slightly decreased, while the proportion of those who moved to the Federation Council, on the contrary, slightly increased in the post-Yeltsin period as a whole. While transitions to regional administrations were rare in both periods, PA officials were noticeably more likely to become governors in the post-Yeltsin era, which was facilitated by a centralization of power. Finally, the share of transitions from government to business is similar in both periods, as are their other characteristics: the dominance of big business as a place of work and the distribution of firms that have adopted officials by form of ownership. The pantouflage was aided by high salaries in big business and the firms' interest in recruiting officials in the context of crony capitalism.

РЕАЛИЗАЦИЯ ПРОГРАММ ПОДДЕРЖКИ МОЛОДЫХ СПЕЦИАЛИСТОВ СОЦИАЛЬНО-КУЛЬТУРНОЙ СФЕРЫ В ГОРОДЕ УЛАН-УДЭ

The necessity to develop and adopt a Federal law «On Youth Policy» was arisen by understanding that the future of the whole country nowadays de-pends on young professionals. The conditions for professional training, further employment and fixing young personnel at their work places are created at the level of municipal authorities within the framework of this law. For the socio-cultural sphere the personnel issue remains relevant for sever-al reasons, one of them is rather a low level of staffing schools and cultural in-stitutions by young specialists. The article analyzes the problem on the basis of the existing statistics and measures taken by the Committee on social and youth policy of Ulan-Ude city in working with the youth.

O procedurze i skutkach wycofania zaświadczenia A1 raz jeszcze. Glosa do wyroku TSUE z 16 listopada 2023 r., C-422/22

ZUS’s withdrawal of the A1 certificate regarding an employee delegated to work in the EU resulted in practical problems related to including this employee in the appropriate social security system of the place of work. As a result, in its jurisprudence the Supreme Court formulated a controversial requirement to precede the withdrawal of the A1 certificate by ZUS by agreeing with the institution of the place of work on retroactive subjection to the applicable legislation. This position, which is assessed critically in the literature, was rejected by the Court of Justice of the EU in its judgment of November 16, 2023, C-422/22. The Court found that Articles 5, 6 and 16 of Regulation (EC) No 987/2009 must be interpreted as meaning that the institution that issued an A1 certificate which, following a review on its own initiative of the evidence on which the issue of that certificate is based, finds that evidence to be incorrect, may withdraw that certificate without first initiating the dialogue and conciliation procedure laid down in Article 76(6) of Regulation (EC) No 883/2004 with the competent institutions of the Member States concerned with a view to determining the national legislation applicable. The subject of the gloss is an approving discussion of this judgement.

MONITORING OF PROFESSIONAL INTEGRATION OF HIGHER EDUCATION GRADUATES: A SURVEY IN THE PROJECT MANAGEMENT DEPARTMENT

The professional integration of graduates is a key indicator of the quality and relevance of university curricula. This paper analyses a tracking review of graduates of the project management course at the University of Constantine 3. It is based on a survey conducted over a number of years among graduates of this course since the first class graduated. This study provides an overview of the program after 13 years.The preliminary results obtained, although partial, reveal a satisfactory rate of employability among graduates, as well as a diversity of choices in terms of sectors of activity and places of work. These observations provide an interesting insight into the career paths of former students. In addition, this longitudinal study provides pertinent points of reflection for the continuous improvement of training offers in order to better respond to the evolving requirements of the labor market and the competencies targeted by employers.

Analyzing post-COVID-19 demographic and mobility changes in Andalusia using mobile phone data

This work studies changes in the demographics of the different spatial units that make up the Andalusia region in Spain throughout the year 2021, with the aim of seeing the progressive recovery of the population after the COVID-19 pandemic. Mobile phone data from Origin–Destination matrices has been used, due to the ease of obtaining updated information quickly and constantly. A methodology has been developed to transform the number of travelers into an estimated population without biases, and an interpolation function has been used to take into account all the data available in the year 2021. Results show a direct link between the demographic changes in Andalusia and the removal of the mobility restrictions caused by the COVID-19 pandemic, with an increase of non-related work mobility and a decrease of static population. Travel distances between home and work places are also affected, with an increase of long trips after the end of the mobility restrictions. In addition, different patterns have been visualized, such as the concentration of commuting in the metropolitan areas of the region during working days, the population growth in rural areas during weekends, or the population displacement to coastal areas in summer.

Organisational neurotypicalness: fighting unintentional ableism in working spaces

Places of work and educational settings are dominated by neurotypical leadership and policy, yet within those settings we are working with, and teaching, significant numbers of autistic individuals. Powerful organisational misunderstandings exist regarding what an autistic person looks like and what support they are likely to need, compounding a lack of a safe psychological space where individuals are likely to share their autistic identity. Autistic people find themselves working in conservative spaces where difference can be viewed with suspicion, which increases the need for masking with calamitous results on wellbeing and mental health. This current issue commentary examines the wider impact of the continual suppression of ‘self’ on autistic individuals and how organisational behaviours can be unintentionally ableist in their support of those individuals. It also explores the constructive impact of allyship, and how positive transformation comes from micro interactions within compassionate and caring teams, building an environment that nurtures wellbeing and allows difference to shine.

Return to Work after Cancer - a Systematic Review of Predictors in Germany

More than one third of cancer survivors are of working age. Return to work (RTW) with and after cancer treatment is therefore an important issue for this group - but this is often accompanied with many challenges. The aim of this systematic review was to identify predictors of RTW after cancer from the literature specifically for Germany and to place these factors chronologically in the oncological course of treatment. A systematic search was performed using PubMed in June 2022. Included were all papers original published in German or English between 2000 and 2022 and referring to a German sample, regardless of study design. From a total of 8,381 hits in the meta-database, 30 publications were finally considered in the synthesis of results. Higher age, lower education, lower socioeconomic status, higher disease stage, more progressive disease course, more severe side effects of treatment, (more severe) fatigue, higher psychological distress, worse health status, occupational status as a blue collar worker and manual labor, unemployment prior to diagnosis, more negative perceptions of the work(place) environment, and lower intention to work and lower work ability/ subjective prognosis of employability were associated with lower likelihood of RTW after cancer in the literature. Treatment type and use of rehabilitation were also found to be associated with RTW. Sociodemographic, disease-related, psychosocial, and work-related predictors of RTW after cancer in Germany were identified. The results may help to develop targeted support measures that can be applied in specific phases of treatment. The comparability of the literature on predictors for RTW is limited due to a high heterogeneity in the operationalization of RTW and methodological approaches. There is need for further standardization in this area.

Rural versus urban variations of factors associated with early initiation of breastfeeding in Ethiopia

BackgroundEarly initiation of breastfeeding is an important strategy to reduce under-five mortality. Nevertheless, it remains under-practiced in developing countries. In Ethiopia, there were studies done to identify determinants of early initiation of breastfeeding. However, the variation of factors among rural versus urban residents has not been investigated. Therefore, the main objective of this study is to investigate the variation of factors associated with early initiation of breastfeeding among rural versus urban residences. MethodsThe 2016 Ethiopian Demographic and Health Survey data was used to conduct the study. Mothers whose index child aged less than 24 months have participated in the study. We excluded mothers who had fetal death during birth and who didn't live with their child. Accordingly, a total of 3396 weighted samples of mothers from rural residences and 478 weighted samples of mothers from urban residences were included in the final analysis. A multivariable logistic regression analysis has been used to explore determinants of early initiation of breastfeeding. Finally, statistically significant associations have been declared by using AOR with a 95%CI at a p-value of <0.05. ResultsIn rural residences, age of mothers 15–24 years (AOR: 1.39, 95 % CI: 1.08, 1.79), mothers who are not currently working (AOR: 1.45, 95 % CI: 1.19, 1.78), large birth size (AOR: 1.49, 95 % CI: 1.17, 1.92), and giving birth at health facility (AOR: 1.25, 95 % CI: 1.01, 1.53) were factors associated with a higher odds of early initiation of breastfeeding. Whereas, in urban residences, being second to third birth order (AOR: 1.94, 95 % CI: 1.01, 3.75), skin-to-skin contact care (AOR: 2.58, 95 % CI: 1.44, 4.63) and antenatal care visit were factors associated with early initiation of breastfeeding. Regardless of residences, vaginal delivery (Rural AOR: 4.06, 95 % CI: 1.75, 9.44; Urban AOR: 2.52, 95 % CI: 1.15, 5.54) and involvement of mothers in health care decisions (Rural AOR: 1.52, 95 % CI: 1.25, 1.85; Urban AOR: 2.62, 95 % CI: 1.33, 5.17) were common determinants of early initiation of breastfeeding. ConclusionsThis study concludes that the factors associated with early initiation of breastfeeding are different among rural versus urban residences. Accordingly, maternal ages, maternal current working status, birth sizes, and place of delivery are identified as factors associated with early initiation of breastfeeding among rural residences. Whereas, antenatal care visits, skin-to-skin contact care, and birth order are identified as factors associated with early initiation of breastfeeding among urban residences. Regardless of residence, mode of delivery, and involvement of mothers in health care decisions are common determinants of early initiation of breastfeeding. Therefore, irrespective of the residence, special emphasis has to be given to newborns delivered by cesarean section to increase the rate of early initiation of breastfeeding.

The Battle for Urban Space: Dynamics of Spatial Change In Siak, Riau, Indonesia

This study aims to examine the implications of changes in urban space as a result of the implementation of government policies in the development and expansion of the city of Siak on the existence of community space and how the community seizes and utilizes spaces of the industry and government to maintain their subsistence economic life. This study uses a rapid ethnography approach. Researchers conduct a desk study before fieldwork to obtain an initial research report. Researchers stayed in Siak District for 40 days to conduct observations, in-depth interviews, informal conversations, and stakeholder discussions. We conducted Focus Group Discussions (FGD) in the four research villages. The event was attended by 28 participants from four villages, comprising village heads, homemakers, peasants, small traders/street vendors, freelance workers, and NGOs at the district level. The study shows that the four research villages have changed from subsistence community spaces to industrial and government spaces. In this research, the community space is becoming increasingly limited, so people carry out two strategies in seizing industrial and government spaces, namely using government spaces to become places for work and business and controlling industrial spaces, Even though this can give rise to latent and manifest tenure conflicts, corporate and society's urban space becomes an arena for struggling for the means of production represented through control and ownership of space. Society must adapt to these conditions to obtain space for them. Government policies in developing and expanding the city of Siak have not taken the community's interests as the primary goal.

Crossing troubled waters: building a bridge across gender divisions among water professionals in South Asia

This paper examines the reasons for the limited presence of women in the water sector in South Asia and reviews recent efforts at reversing this trend. The reasons for the under representation of women in the sector are the perceived masculine nature of the sector, gender-based discrimination at the work place, and the absence of gender sensitive working environment. A change in the curricula of water education programs from engineering-oriented programs to inter-disciplinary programs and the launch of new inter-disciplinary water resources education programs is likely to reverse this trend. Increased donor interest in this has given a push to such efforts. The launch of new initiatives and programs is likely to increase the number of women water professionals in the near future; however, given the large absolute numbers of men, these numbers would still relatively be low. Financial and administrative support to female students will be necessary to make the water sector more gender sensitive and gender balanced, along with creating conditions that would allow a better expression of women’s interests.

Health Literacy and Physical Fitness Status among Young Adult Urban Residents of Yueyang City under the Background of Healthy China

With the background of Healthy China strategy, this paper aims to investigate the health literacy status of urban residents in Yueyang City and its influencing factors under the background of Healthy China strategy, analyze the influencing factors, and put forward corresponding suggestions to promote the further improvement of health literacy status and health level of residents in Yueyang City, and lay a certain foundation for the realization of healthy China strategy.By sending out an online questionnaire, the paper investigated 450 urban residents aged 18-45 years old in 9 districts and counties of Yueyang City, conducted a survey on their occupation, educational background, marriage, monthly income and BMI index, and conducted a survey on 7 dimensions including national fitness action, eating habits, tobacco control action and the health of the elderly, reaching the following conclusions:When it comes to their level of awareness to the different initiatives of the government , it can be shown that they are very much aware of the policy on smoking inside campuses . This can be attribute to the fact that they are young adults and most of them just finished their college lives.Their level of awareness to the care for mothers and children are manifestation of being young parents . They are aware also ablout the national campaign of the government on fitness and wellness which clould inspire them to maintain a strong and healthy body.Their level of literacy on health promotion for the elderly as well as their safety and protection on their work places needs improvement because it will affect their level of effectiveness and productivity in their workplaces.

Dynamics of employment in Russia (2018 – mid-2023)

The article examines the impact of the pandemic and a special military operation on the economic sphere and labor relations in the Russian Federation. The conclusion is made that the Russian economy has successfully adapted to these phenomena. Initial forecasts about the collapse of the economy did not come true; the economic situation is stable. In addition, based on statistical data and the results of sociological research, a decrease in informal employment of Russians is stated. During the pandemic and its beginning, the number of employees working without a contract has not increased, there is an increase in standard employed Russians. There are three main reasons for this process. The first is the reduction of the labor force in Russia, which increases the demand for it and, accordingly, the improvement of labor relations, the second is the actions of the government during the pandemic, aimed primarily at helping officially employed workers and the adoption of the law on the self-employed, the third is the reduction as a result of the pandemic and a special military operation of private small and medium-sized businesses, the main places of work informally employed, reduction of the informal economy and the shadow labor market. These findings force us to reconsider our approaches to the growth of the precariat, the core of which is informally employed wage workers. The number of precarious is growing with a favorable economic situation, growth of economic initiative and non-interference of the state in the economic sphere. In the opposite situation, the number of precarious workers decreases.

Prevalence of premenstrual syndrome and related factors among nurses.

Premenstrual syndrome (PMS) is a common condition among women during their menstrual cycle. PMS can negatively affect a woman's daily life and function. Nurses, as an important and substantial segment of healthcare staff, are affected by the demanding environment of work place. Since PMS, as a prevalent counterproductive condition, has not been studied in this population in Iran, we assessed the prevalence of PMS and its associated factors among nurses aged 23 to 49 in teaching hospitals of the Tehran province of Iran. In this cross-sectional study from April 2021 to January 2022, 280 participants from teaching hospitals were enrolled. Simple random sampling was used to determine the sample size of the study. Two validated questionnaires and a data gathering sheet were used to collect information. The premenstrual symptoms screening tool was used to determine PMS severity and the Copenhagen Psychosocial Questionnaire to evaluate the associated job demands. Demographic data and work-related data included: night shift, shift type, monthly COVID-19 care and gynecologic and past medical history were gathered. Then data were analyzed using logistic regression analysis, chi-square and t-test. The severity of PMS was: mild (42.5%); moderate (30%); and severe (27.5%). Regular menstruation and dysmenorrhea were reported by 84.6% and 72.3%, respectively. Moderate to severe PMS was associated with: monthly COVID shift (p=0.02); emotional (p<0.01) and quantitative (p<0.01) demands; regular caffeine intake (p=0.01); education level (p=0.005); regular exercise (p=0.003); regular fiber intake (p=0.08); and irregular menstrual cycles (p=0.007). In logistic regression only quantitative (p=0.003) and emotional (p=0.018) job demands were significant. Results showed that the prevalence of PMS was high among Iranian nurses and was associated with quantitative and emotional job demands. We suggest further studies focusing on preventative and effective interventions to diminish the consequences of PMS in this population. We also suggest investigating the practical application of the findings of this study for healthcare professionals and policymakers.

Towards comprehensive mental health promotion in Australian universities: A call to action with priorities for institutional change.

While comprehensive mental health promotion inherently involves individuals, there is an ongoing need to address large-scale determinants of people's mental health and wellbeing-particularly policies and environments. To have the best possible chance of creating positive change, mental health promotion must also work throughout key mediating structures such as places of education and work. This includes universities. Yet, in their efforts to address student and staff mental health and wellbeing, Australian universities have demonstrated limited uptake of comprehensive mental health promotion approaches. In this commentary, I discuss a recent review of Australia's higher education system-the Australian Universities Accord-as a catalyst for strengthening institutional action and change through a comprehensive mental health promotion lens. I discuss key findings-and silences-made clear throughout the review process. I then advocate several urgent priorities for university-level change-across institutional assessment, institutional accountability and performance, and institutional leadership and power-if Australia's universities are genuinely committed to improving mental health and wellbeing among students and staff.

Evaluation of Nurses' Competence in Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation at AL-Diwaniyah Teaching Hospital

Background: Cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) is a widely acknowledged medical method that involves applying chest compressions and artificial ventilation to ensure sufficient blood circulation to the brain and other vital organs. Approach: An observational study was carried out at Al-Diwaniyah Teaching Hospital between October 15, 2023, and March 30, 2024. A non-probability cross-sectional sample was selected from 50 nurses in the cardiac care, intensive care, emergency, and pulmonary resuscitation units. Information was collected by preparing a questionnaire. It was built for the study, and data was collected through a personal interview. The questionnaire consisted of two parts; the first part included 7. Paragraphs and the second part contain 25 paragraphs. Information was collected using a personal interview method for the study sample, and its credibility was determined by presenting it to 10 experts. Results: The results of the study indicated that the majority of nurses have little knowledge about cardiac arrest and cardiopulmonary resuscitation. The cognitive weakness of the nursing staff does not affect gender and age, nor does it affect the number of years of service, place of work, training, and efficiency of cardiac resuscitation. Still, there is a relationship between their knowledge and academic qualification. Recommendations: he emphasized the necessity of involving nurses in scientific rehabilitation courses related to cardiac resuscitation. It is necessary to conduct field research to stop this problem and stimulate nursing creativity in this field.

Study of mental workload in public administration managers

The present research is carried out in the Municipal Administration with the objective of studying the behavior of the mental workload in the work places. The procedure used consists of three stages: preparation, experiments and results. The indicators selected for the study are: Simple Reaction Time, Complex Reaction Time, Discrimination Threshold, Depth Perception and Yoshitake Test are selected. SPSS software is used or the statistical analysis of the data, EndNote as a bibliographic manager and VOSviewer for its graphical representation. An Ishikawa Diagram is used to determine the causes that provoke mental fatigue during the working day in the individuals studied. As a result, out of the 12 workers studied, 6 presented extreme risk, 5 a worrying level and 1 a moderate level of mental workload. A proposal of measures to prevent and reduce the effect of mental workload is elaborated.

Language varieties and labor mobilities

Abstract While language is clearly an important aspect of (labor) migration, there have not been many contemplations and interrogations, although truly compelling and necessary, on language varieties and their place and position in labor migration and transnational work in the contemporary world, and hence why we intend to do so in this article. In our paradigmatic analysis of language varieties in the context of labor mobilities, we shall take the case of the varieties of English arising from the global spread of the language worldwide as our focal point. The world Englishes paradigm thus greatly informs and substantiates our discussion so we shall first give the principles of this paradigm shift in linguistics begun by Braj Kachru. We subsequently connect world Englishes theorizing to labor migration practices. We shall argue that language is not only integral to the work being done by migrants, but is actually the work in itself. A consequence of this is that there are language varieties and Englishes which fit the work to be done more than others, and, therefore, these varieties and Englishes are becoming commodified as well in labor migration. We shall also take a look at the structural ramifications of labor migration on Englishes, how these new varieties are restructured further as they move from one place to another along with labor migrants. As it will become apparent, our discussion covers the situation of labor migrants in precarity more than the hyper-mobile elites often privileged in migratory contexts. Ultimately, we shall synthesize issues relating to language varieties in the context of transnational work and propose strategies in dealing not only with multilingual but also language-varietal diversity in (labor) migrations and mobilities.
