ABSTRACT
With the increasing demand for rehabilitation medical care, medical education has taken on the important mission of cultivating high-quality rehabilitation talents for "Healthy China", and it is necessary to make attempts to explore the reform of rehabilitation majors in line with social needs and develop a professional layout that fits better with social needs. After more than 20 years of development, a certain scale has been formed for the establishment of rehabilitation majors, but the analysis of related data has revealed the problems such as mismatch of professional disciplines, mixed attributes of professional institutions, and unstable quality of talent training. Based on the setting of rehabilitation majors in the catalogues of undergraduate majors in colleges and universities adjusted and promulgated in 1998, 2012, and 2020 and the addition of majors in different types of colleges and universities in each catalogue, this article summarizes the rules, trends, and characteristics of the development of rehabilitation majors in higher education institutions in China and discusses the current status and existing problems of such majors, so as to provide a theoretical reference for the optimization and adjustment of rehabilitation majors in China.
ABSTRACT
ObjectiveTo establish a managing mode for illegal and irregular acts of occupational medical examination (OME) institutions to the requirements of the new situation. Methods The OME institutions from the “Guangdong Province Key Occupational Disease Monitoring and Management Platform” were selected as the study subjects using the judgment sampling method. The clues of suspected illegal and irregular acts of OME institutions were found and submitted to the local health commission for investigation and managed according to the case information monitoring and on-site quality assessment. The OME institutions found to have illegal and irregular acts were filed and investigated according to the national law after investigation and verification. A “follow-up inspection” was conducted on five OME institutions for closed loop management. Results A total of 12 OME institutions were found to have suspected illegal and irregular acts, including seven institutions that did not meet the filing requirements for effective personnel, five institutions that conducted projects beyond the scope without filing to the provincial health authorities within 15 work days from the start of the project, and two institutions that failed to fulfill the obligation of informing and reporting to the health authorities, employers, and workers as required. After submitting relevant clues and evidence to the local health commission for investigation and management, seven institutions were not given penalty, and five institutions were given administrative penalties including two institutions were fined and warned, and three institutions were warned. No illegal or irregular acts were found in the five institutions inspected during the “follow-up inspection”. Conclusion It is beneficial to explore the managing mode of “clue discovery, clue submission, investigation and disposal, follow-up inspection” for OME institutions suspected of illegal and irregular acts, which helps urge OME institutions to work in accordance with laws and regulations and effectively protect the legitimate rights and interests of workers' occupational health.
ABSTRACT
Objective: To analyze the status of occupational medical examination (OME) institutions in Guangdong Province and the critical control points affecting their future development. Methods: A total of 211 OME institutions registered in Guangdong Province were selected as the research subjects. Their current statue was investigated, and the risk assessment of their future development was carried out based on hazard analysis and critical control point theory. Results: The OME institutions were mainly concentrated in the Pearl River Delta, accounting for 72.0%. The public and private medical and health institutions accounted for 70.6% and 29.4% respectively. The filing rates of different OME categories from high to low in the order were physical factors, chemical factors, dust, other, radiation factors, biological factors (P<0.01), and the filing rates were 89.6%, 88.6%, 84.8%, 63.0%, 7.1% and 1.0%, respectively. The rates of excellence in the field assessment from high to low in the order were hearing atlas analysis personnel, lung function examination operators, chest film reading personnel, chief examination physician, technical director, quality director (P<0.01), and the rates of excellence were 49.4%, 26.2%, 20.6%, 10.8%, 8.2% and 4.6%, respectively. A total of 37 institutions did not submit OME information, of which 23 institutions did not carry out OME work after filing. The required diagnosis rate and confirmed diagnosis rate of suspected occupational diseases in 2020 were 34.3% and 55.3%, respectively. In 2021, the detection rate of suspected occupational diseases was only 1.1‰. Among the institutions with biological monitoring records, 64.1% did not participate in external quality assessment program in laboratory, and the unqualified rate of 38 participating institutions was 55.3%. The risk assessment results show that the future development of OME institutions needs to focus on private institutions, institutions that have not reported OME information, institutions that have missed diagnosis and missed reporting of suspected occupational diseases, institutions that have not participated in external quality assessment program in laboratory and core personnel such as quality managers, technical leaders, and main inspection physicians. Conclusion: OME institutions in Guangdong Province show the characteristics of centralized filing category, centralized filing region and centralized filing institution nature. Combined with the potential risks of OME institutional capacity building, it is necessary to implement classified management, strengthen information construction, supervision and management, implement post responsibilities, and promote the high-quality development of OME institutions.
ABSTRACT
The Prevention and Control of Occupational Diseases Law revised in 2017 abolished the qualification test and approval for occupational health examination institutions, and replaced it with record management. The record does not belong to any type of administrative permit and does not require the premise of “general prohibition”. Its core idea is that “the public law actively acts as an obligation”, which does not prohibit administrative counterpart from carrying out specific tasks, mainly information collection, supervision and management of follow-ups, and emphasizes on simplifying procedures, improving working efficiency and stimulating market vitality. It is a strategic measure of the government's reform on “release, control and service”. It has the functional significance of alleviating information asymmetry, cultivating market credit mechanism and reflecting the government's flexible supervision and management mechanisms. However, China has not yet unified legislation on record management, and individuals on the theoretical and practical circles have different understandings on the concept, operation principle, and management effectiveness of the record management. There are practical dilemmas in the record management of occupational health examination institutions, such as alienation of record management into licensing, insufficient regulation of record management procedures, and weak in-process and post-process supervision and management capabilities. It is suggested to clarify the legal nature of record management, unify and improve the record management procedures, and improve in-process and post-process supervision and management capabilities. By building a legal, scientific and systematic regulation for the record management of occupational health examination institutions, adhering to the unity of “discharge” and “control”, it could effectively safeguard the legitimate rights and interests of occupational health examination institutions, workers and employers.
ABSTRACT
OBJECTIVE: To explore the correlation between the cognition on hearing protection and mental health status of noise-exposed workers. METHODS: A total of 499 noise-exposed workers from 3 enterprises of coal mine, steel and textile in Xinjiang region were selected as study subjects by stratified cluster random sampling method. The cognitive status of hearing protection and mental health status of each group were investigated by the Workplace Health Promotion Pilot Project Questionnaire. RESULTS: A total of 235 workers had abnormal mental health status.The abnormal rate of mental health status was 47.1%(235/499). The results of logistic regression analysis showed that female, age ≤40.0 years, unable to bear current noise hazards, worried about noise-induced-deafness and noise-induced discomfort were the risk factors of abnormality of mental health status(odds ratio values were 1.62, 1.87, 2.42, 2.20, 2.14, P<0.05). Using hearing protectors for ≥3.0 years was the protective factor of abnormality of mental health status(odds ratio value was 0.47, P<0.05). CONCLUSION: The subjective cognition on hearing protection has an impact on the mental health of noise-exposed workers.
