Filter by:The emergency department crowding is a worldwide health problem. Overcapacity admissions result in a decrease in health care quality. High job satisfaction, proper working environment, appropriate institutional structuring in government, and sufficient resources of the staff mean the quality of health care. To evaluate the job satisfaction of the personnel works in emergency health care in North Cyprus and contribute to raising the quality of health services to world standards. In this study, job satisfaction of the personnel working in emergency health services in North Cyprus evaluated through a questionnaire made between October 20; November 10, 2016. It consisted of two parts in which sociodemographic characteristics and job satisfaction scale. The job satisfaction scale developed by Güneri (2011) was a 5-point Likert type. It consisted of 7 sub-dimensions: the nature of work, relations with co-workers, vocational training, relationships with supervisors, economic, cultural, social aspect, and capacity of consumables. The scale can have the lowest score of 47 and the highest score of 235. Participants' high scores on the scale indicated high job satisfaction. The participants', 31.82% were in the 36-49 age, 81.06% were women, 75% were married, 82.5% had children, and 42.42% was an undergraduate degree. The majority of the participants were nurses who had been working for more than ten years and 40-50 hours per week. No significant difference found between job satisfaction and sociodemographic characteristics (p>0.05). High school graduates, head nurses, emergency call center staff, working 1-4 years, 40-50 hours per week, and those who received updating training have significantly higher job-satisfaction scores than the other groups (p<0.05). The high job satisfaction of the personnel working in emergency health services is the meaning of high-quality health care. We recommend the inclusion of emergency health services in the existing structure of the Ministry of Health in Northern Cyprus. Also, emergency health care should be provided by paramedics and EMTs (Emergency Medical Technician), decreasing weekly working hours and increasing updating training.
The goal of this proposed study is to test the feasibility and preliminary efficacy of worksite wellness program designed to reduce worker stress (job and personal) and improve cardiovascular disease among long-term care workers. We also aim to test if increasing wellness behaviors in staff will translate to increased wellness behaviors in residents due to positive role modeling.
: The problem of physician burnout has been well documented. As health care providers (HCP) encounter the demands and resources of a rapidly changing health care system, navigate their place and performance within it, deal with the demands of an internet informed patient populace and balance daily work load with family life, stressors arise. These stressors can contribute to burnout and this burnout has both interpersonal and health care system wide effects. Studies have shown that HCP burnout has personal physiologic consequences and predicts external objective associations with health care acquired infection rates, medical errors, medical litigation, patient satisfaction, job satisfaction, health care system costs, alcohol abuse and suicidal ideation, among others. As our population ages and its medical co-morbidities and system demands increase, the premature curtailing, cessation or turnover of an HCP's clinical practice due to emotional exhaustion is a concerning trend. While studies have shown that HCP's are no more prone to burnout then other professionals, a growing body of literature has shown that an intentional focus on institutional processes that nurture clinician well-being through multiple modalities is both important and effective. Additionally, insights into the role that forgiveness plays in personal well-being prompts our presentation of a novel mindfulness tool that focuses on improving clinician well-being through self-help exercises in meditation and forgiveness. In light of recent studies that have cautioned against the tendency to dichotomize and/or pathologize peoples' responses to their work environment, we will use the JD-R (Job demands-resources model) and the CBI (Copenhagen burnout inventory) to quantify these processes and responses. These factors have prompted us to present a unique study design a) to evaluate the wellness process affecters inside the culture of a regional health care center and b) to evaluate the effectiveness of a personal mindfulness intervention which aims at spectrum based burnout quantification and facilitated self-help, with an eye on both for institution wide application.
Although exposure to nature has restorative effects on human health, beneficial effects of nature-based interventions in the working environment have been underexplored. The investigators aim to conduct a randomised controlled pilot study. During workhours one group participates in a nature-based program, the other group is a control group. The investigators test stress-related parameters including cortisol levels, wellbeing and stress, and neurocognition.
Brief Description of the Study: Text messages will be sent to participants and responses will be surveyed to ascertain if using a social, digital intervention can influence NLNs' (newly licensed nurses') stress, resiliency, perceived sense of social support, and/or the intention to stay at current jobs. Newly licensed nurses (within their first year of hire) will be asked to participate. A series of four text messages will be sent to all study participants (experimental and control groups) by the PI every Monday, Wednesday, Friday, and Saturday (M, W, F, S) at 1pm for six weeks, for a total of 24 different texts for each group. Participants will fill out surveys before the study begins, at week 3 and at the end of the study (week 6).The control group will receive medical facts. Texts sent to the experimental group will be based on SSBC nurturant support messages and are intended to decrease stress intention to leave (ITL), increase resilience, and perceived sense of support. The SSBC nurturant support texts are comprised of three themes of support: emotional, network, and esteem. The experimental group's supportive text messages were created by the PI and require content validation. A gatekeeper at your facility will be asked to send an email to "Experts" (MSN educators) and ask them to complete the validation survey using a Qualtrics Survey Platform then the PI will place ratings into a table and calculate the results. There are 3 other facilities enrolled in this study: University California, San Diego, El Centro Medical Center, and Pioneer Hospital (all located in southern California).
The study evaluates differences in perceived and objective workload in anesthetists during intubation procedure with a direct (Mcintosh) or indirect (Glidescope) laryngoscope. Expert anesthetists will perform 3 intubations per device, while completing a secondary task, during which reaction times to an auditory stimulus will be recorded, and will complete a questionnaire (the NASA-Task Load Index) to evaluate their perceived workload at the end of each procedure.
Work-related stress is a problem due to its repercussions on workers' health and productivity, which is why workplace interventions are required to reduce stress levels through coping techniques. One of the interventions in mental health to reduce levels of work stress are those based on the Internet and mobile applications, with proven effectiveness. Among the interventions are cognitive-behavioral therapies and within these the Problem Solving Therapy (PST). Therefore, there is a need to study the effect of Problem Solving Therapy offered through a web platform on the levels of self-perceived stress. However, there have been no studies on mental health interventions such as the TSP for the reduction of stress levels in office workers. For this reason, the objective of the study is to determine, through a randomized cluster trial, the effectiveness of problem-solving therapy offered through a web platform on self-perceived stress levels. Two scales will measure the levels of stress; one for self-perceived stress and another for work-related stress. Workers who have a high score on both scales will be enrolled. The establishments assigned to the intervention will receive the TSP distributed in 4 sessions. The establishments in the control group would have access to a web page with information on stress management. Immediately after having finished the last session, self-perceived stress levels will be evaluated. One month later a new measurement will be made to evaluate the persistence of the effect.
Pain, fatigue, and stress lead to decrease on their work performance with biopsychosocial functioning disorders on nurses. This study was conducted to examine the effects of the "Workplace Health Promotion Program" (WHPP) on pain, fatigue, stress, professional quality of life (Pro-QoL) and coping skills for nurses.
This study will examine the effects of Isha Kriya meditation on stress and burnout among healthcare providers.
The present study is designed to focus on examining the effectiveness of the stress management program on occupational stress and coping strategies among public health centers nurses in Jordan. the Specific Objectives that will guide this study are as follow: 1. To assess the level of occupational stress among Jordanian public health nurses who work in comprehensive health care centers. 2. To find out the association between nurses' occupational stress scores and their selected demographic variables. 3. To identify the sources of occupational stress encountered among public health centers nurses in the work setting. 4. To identify the types of coping strategies utilized by Jordanian nurses working in comprehensive health care centers. 5. To evaluate the effectiveness of stress management program on occupational stress mean score among experimental and control groups at baseline, post-test and at two months' follow-up assessment. 6. To evaluate the effectiveness of stress management program on coping strategies mean score among experimental and control groups at baseline, post-test and at two months' follow-up assessment. This experimental study will examine differential changes in two dependent variables: occupational stress and coping strategies of public health nurses after participation in experiment. Experimental Group will participate in a stress management program and control group will not receive any intervention. The null hypotheses that guide this study are: 1. Null hypothesis (H0_1): There is no significant difference in occupational stress mean score between experimental and control groups at baseline, post-intervention and at two months' follow-up assessment. (µ1 = µ2). 2. Null hypothesis (H0_2): There is no significant difference in coping strategies mean score between experimental and control groups at baseline, post-intervention and at two months' follow-up assessment. (µ1 = µ2).
