ABSTRACT
In this paper, in order to understand “newly medical professionals who cannot do their jobs well in clinical practice”, we gave concrete fictitious cases, examined the reasons from three viewpoints, and showed supporting examples for each. The first is the possibility of “discrepancies between the learner’s personality and the environment” and “difficulties in the learner’s own environment” from the perspective of environmental factors. Also included is the importance of how to match the learner and the environment. The second is the possibility of “bipolar disorder” from the perspective of clinical psychology, which requires consultation with a specialist and specialized therapeutic intervention according to the diagnosis. The third possibility is attention deficit/hyperactivity disorder from the perspective of neurodevelopmental disorders. In addition, it is important to improve the work environment, including the surrounding staff.
ABSTRACT
Objective:To investigate the mastery and application of medical ethics basic knowledge in geriatric ward medical staffs,and the way which they receive relevant education. Methods:From November 2016 to January 2017,240 questionnaires about medical ethics were distributed among medical staffs in clinical department in the Chinese PLA General Hospital,among them,30 were medical groups and 210 were nursing groups;and a total of 233 valid questionnaires were collected. The nurses were divided into geriatric ward nursing group and non - geriat-ric ward nursing group,according to whether they work in the geriatric wards or not. Results:Only 2. 14％ and 7. 72％ participants fully and correctly answered the core concepts and basic principles of medical ethics,respec-tively. The rate of informed consent in medical staffs in geriatric group was significantly higher than that of non -geriatric group (92. 66％ vs 82. 11％ ,P = 0. 02);the patient' s privacy protection in geriatric nursing group was significantly higher than that of non - geriatric nursing group (92. 66％ vs 31. 57％ ,P < 0. 001). 28. 75％ of the respondents received medical ethics continuing education curriculum,and the proportion of correctly receiving ex-pectable death in these medical staffs (71. 40％ ) was significantly higher than that of other education pathway groups (36. 17％ ). Conclusion:Medical staffs lack more knowledge on medical ethics. Clinical work in geriatric medicine has higher demand for medical ethics knowledge,and continuing medical education can help to improve the cognitive level of medical ethics in medical staffs.
ABSTRACT
Objective@#To evaluate the impact of CO2 pneumoperitoneum in operating rooms on the health of medical staffs.@*Methods@#In June 2016, the thirty-three medical staffs in operating rooms were chosen as the object of the research.Seventeen people who took part in the pneumoperitoneum operation were selected as a exposure group and sixteen people who took part in the laparotomy operation were selected as a control group.Vital signs and arterial blood gases of medical staffs in the two groups were both measured in pre-operation and post-operation. Occupational Health Questionnaires were conducted to collect information on age, weight and postoperative symptoms. The level of CO2 in operating room was determined by a portable infrared CO2 analyzer.@*Results@#Compared with the control group, the concentration of CO2 in the exposed group was higherat T1, T2 and T3 (t=22.227, 13.583, 17.408, P<0.05) . Heart rates and PaCO2 in the exposure group raised greatly (t=2.132, 2.129, P<0.05) , while pH decreased (t=-3.015, P<0.05) . The differences between the two groups were statistically significant.@*Conclusion@#The increase of mild acidosis and thesense of job burnout in medical staffs could be caused by CO2 pollution in the operating rooms.
ABSTRACT
Objective To evaluate the short-term impact of comprehensive community-based intervention programs on smoking cessation counseling services provided by community medical staff and related influencing factors in three districts of Hangzhou city.Methods Within the framework of Community Interventions for Health (CIH) Program,a community trial was conducted in two districts (Xiacheng and Gongshu) and a district (Xihu) as control,by a parallel comparison and random grouping based quasi-experimental design.Two independent questionnaire-based surveys of cross-sectional samples in the intervention and comparison areas were used to assess the impact of intervention.Results There were 299 and 141 medical staff in the areas of intervention and ‘ control',respectively.For the intervention area,the quantity of available resources increased from 2to 3 and the quantity of used resources increased from 1 to 3 (both P＜0.001),while the area of control had a downward trend for both quantities.For the ratios of well-readiness for smoking counseling,in the intervention area were 35.5％,52.0％ before and after intervention (P＜0.001),while the ‘controlled' area they were 28.1％,39.3％,respectively (P=0.162).A slight increase was seen in the intervention area for the proportion of the medical staff who had been provided smoking cessation counseling,as ≥90％ patients (including asking smoking status,announcing risks related to the risks of smoking and advising smoking cessation programs etc.),while the proportion decreased in the area of ‘control'.The improvement of preparedness would promote medical staff to ask their patients about smoking status (OR=1.43,P=0.007),while all factors as a whole would not influence the medical staff to inform patients about the danger of smoking and advice patients to quit smoking.Conclusion Comprehensive community-based interventions could increase the opportunities for medical staff to acquire and utilize smoking cessation resources to some extent,as well as promote those staff' s preparedness.However,intervention itself might fail to improve the behavior of providing such services.Support that came from the policy or from the institutions also need to be strengthened.
ABSTRACT
Objective To investigate the awareness of AIDS knowledge among medical staffs and their preventive behaviors among hospitals of traditional Chinese Medicine in Liangshan and to analyze the influential factors so as to provide the scientific basis for the staffs' training as well as for the prevention and control about AIDS. Methods Medical staffs from 7 hospitals of traditional Chinese medicine in Liangshan were surveyed using self-designed questionnaires,among which 276 were valid. Results The total score of the medical staffs' knowledge on AIDS was 34.14 ±6.92 points. Those with the highest score accounted for 16.73%, others with intermediate score accounted for 56.13%and still others with the low score accounted for 27.14%. The total score of the medical staffs' preventive behaviors on AIDS was 35.20 ±9.48 points, with the highest score being 12.64%, the intermediate score being 30.86%and the low score being 56.51%. The major factors to influence the medial staffs' knowledge about AIDS related to his/her educational level, specialty, education background of education, trainings on AIDS and contacts with HIV/AIDS patients and so on (<0.05) . The hospital's level, the specialty, whether or not being trained with AIDS knowledge concerned the level of occupational protection ( <0.05), whereas their ages, titles of a technical post, working years of working were irrelevant. Conclusion The overall level of these medical staffs’knowledge and preventive behaviors has not been satisfactory. Therefore, the various training programs will be necessary to improve the technical level of the medical staffs.
ABSTRACT
ObjectiveTo explore the relationships among psychological capital,social support and mental health of medical staffs.MethodsAccording to convenience sampling principle,101 medical staffs from one three-grade class A hospital in Hebei participated in the study.They were investigated with questionnaires such as Psychological Capital Questionnaire ( PCQ-24),Social Support Rating Scale (SSRS) and Symptom Checklist 90(SCL-90).Results①The scores of self-efficacy,hope,resilience and optimism were(3.73 ±0.58 ),(3.59 ±0.60),(3.81±0.49),(3.70 ± 0.32),all of which are higher than middle points.There were statistic difference in four subscales of psychological capital(P ＜ 0.05 ).Compared with nurses,doctors scored higher in self-efficacy ( (3.92 ±0.66),(3.59 ±0.48) ).The difference was significant(P＜0.05).Among different educational background there were also statistic differences(P ＜ 0.05 ).②Psychological capital was negatively related to the whole factors of SCL-90(P＜0.0l,or P ＜ 0.05 ),however,social support was negatively related to only part of it(P ＜0.05 ).③Psychological capital could negatively predict mental health(P ＜ 0.01 or P ＜ 0.05 ).ConclusionThis research outlines a strong relationship between psychological capital and mental health of medical staffs.But social support has no a significant impact on mental health.
ABSTRACT
The effects of psychosocial education on undergraduate medical students were evaluated in an open trial. Undergraduate medical students were exposed to psychosomatic medicine and, in particular, holistic medicine as part of their undergraduate medical education. Almost all students (94.9%) reported addressing “extramedical” clinical problems with a holistic approach (n=98). Psychological, social, and economic problems were mentioned in 64.3%, 50.0%, and 5.1% of reports, respectively. Problems in relationships between members of the medical staff and patients were included in 37.8% of reports. Self-evaluation with the Egogram Check Lists by students who had undergone clinical practice revealed scores of “Critical Parent, ” “Nurturing Parent, ” “Adult, ” “Free Child, ” and “Adapted Child” of 2.59 1.57, 4.59±1.89, 4.79±1.54, 4.85±1.64, and 4.65±1.64, respectively (n=82). “Adult” scores were higher after clinical practice than before (n = 32, p<0.02, Student's paired t-test). Clinical practice seemed to help students mature and become better able to cope with problems objectively. Education in psychosomatic medicine is an important component of undergraduate medical education.
