ABSTRACT
No contexto de pandemia da covid-19, os profissionais de saúde têm sido expostos a situações que podem gerar sofrimento psicológico, como risco de contaminação, longas jornadas de trabalho, falta de equipamentos de proteção individual, estresse e ansiedade. Esta pesquisa investigou os impactos da pandemia da Covid-19 na atuação de profissionais de uma unidade de internação psiquiátrica em hospital geral. Trata-se de pesquisa qualitativa, desenvolvida a partir de entrevistas com profissionais de saúde cujo roteiro continha, dentre outras, a seguinte pergunta: "A pandemia da Covid-19 provocou alterações na sua atuação profissional?". Para análise dos achados, optou-se pela análise temática. Estes apontaram que os desafios para o cuidar na pandemia envolviam alterações nas ações de cuidado, redução da equipe, aumento da carga de trabalho, falta de equipamentos de segurança, medo e ansiedade na equipe, o que implicou na necessidade de suporte psicossocial aos profissionais, pois a pandemia intensificou a vivência de situações difíceis preexistentes. Face ao exposto, observou-se a necessidade de diferentes adaptações para o desenvolvimento do trabalho na unidade pesquisada, que, frente ao clima de tensão instalado no serviço, contava com uma equipe reduzida de profissionais de saúde.
In the context of the covid-19 pandemic, health professionals have been exposed to situations that can produce psychological suffering, such as risk of contamination, extended working time, absence of personal protective equipment, stress, and anxiety. This research studies the impacts of the Covid-19 pandemic on the performance of professionals who work in the psychiatric unit into a general hospital. It is a qualitative research built up from interviews with health professionals whose script contained, among others, the following question: "Has Covid-19 pandemic brought changes in your professional performance?". In order to analyze the findings, we have chosen the thematic analysis approach. Data findings pointed out that the challenges for care in the pandemic encompass changes in the practices of care, staff reduction, increased workload, lack of safety equipment, fear, and anxiety in the team, which implies the need for psychosocial support for the professionals, once the pandemic has deepened the experience of pre-existing difficult situations. Based on the above, there was a need for some new adaptations for doing the work in the researched unit, which faces both an atmosphere of tension hovering in the workplace and a reduced team of health professionals.
En el contexto de la pandemia del covid-19, los profesionales de la salud se han visto expuestos a situaciones que pueden generar sufrimiento psicológico, como el riesgo de contaminación, largas jornadas laborales, falta de equipo de protección personal, estrés y ansiedad. Esta investigación investigó los impactos de la pandemia Covid-19 en el desempeño de los profesionales en una unidad de internación psiquiátrica en un hospital general. Se trata de una investigación cualitativa, desarrollada a partir de entrevistas con profesionales de la salud cuyo guión contenía, entre otras, la siguiente pregunta: "¿La pandemia Covid-19 provocó cambios en su desempeño profesional?". Para analizar los hallazgos se eligió el análisis temático. Estos señalaron que los desafíos para la atención en la pandemia involucraron cambios en las acciones de atención, reducción de personal, aumento de la carga de trabajo, falta de equipos de seguridad, miedo y ansiedad en el equipo, lo que implica la necesidad de apoyo psicosocial a los profesionales, pues la pandemia intensificó la experiencia de situaciones difíciles preexistentes. Con base en lo anterior, fue necesario realizar diferentes adaptaciones para el desarrollo del trabajo en la unidad investigada, que contaba con un reducido equipo de profesionales de la salud y debido al ambiente de tensión instalado en el servicio.

Objetivo: Caracterizar el impacto de la pandemia por COVID-19 en las internaciones psiquiátricas en la región de América Latina y el Caribe. Métodos: Estudio descriptivo. Se realizaron 85 entrevistas semiestructuradas con trabajadores de hospitales generales (HG) y hospitales especializados (HE) en salud mental en 18 países de la región de América Latina y el Caribe entre el 8 de mayo y el 30 de junio de 2020. Los datos se analizaron cuantitativa y cualitativamente. Resultados: Se reporta una disminución inicial en la demanda de internación, atribuida al temor de la población a acercarse a los servicios, así como a restricciones en la movilidad. Se indican criterios más estrictos para internar con una doble focalización de lo agudo dentro de lo agudo. Los tiempos de internación presentaron un comportamiento mixto, tanto de aumento como de disminución en HG y en HE. La oferta terapéutica durante la internación se vio drásticamente reducida, y se restringió la interacción de las personas internadas con sus redes de apoyo. Conclusiones: La internación pareciera estar siendo no la última, sino la única alternativa de tratamiento psiquiátrico en el contexto de la pandemia. La reducción de camas en los HE podría ser un aspecto positivo para la reforma de la atención, pero es puesto en duda, ya que dicha reducción también se produce en los HG.
Objetive: To characterise the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on psychiatric hospitalisations in the Latin American and Caribbean (LAC) region. Methods: Descriptive study. 85 semi-structured interviews were conducted with health workers involved with psychiatric hospitalizations in general hospitals (GHs) and specialised psychiatric hospitals (SHs) from 18 LAC countries. The interviews were done between 8 May and 30 June 2020. The data were analysed quantitatively and qualitatively. Results: An initial decrease in the demand for hospitalization is reported, attributed to the population's fear of approaching health services as well as restrictions on mobility. Stricter criteria for hospitalization were reported with a double focus on the acute within the acute. The length of hospitalizations were mixed, with both increases and decreases in GHs and SHs. The therapeutic offer was drastically reduced, and interaction between hospitalised people and their support networks was restricted. Conclusions: In the COVID-19 context, hospitalization seems to be not the last but the only alternative for psychiatric treatment. The decrease in the number of beds in SHs could be a positive aspect for the reform of psychiatric care, but it is questioned since this reduction also occurs in GHs.
ABSTRACT
Objective:To analyze the needs and recommendation of nurses in level3 general hospital for the application scenarios of nursing robots, so as to provide a basis for the design of intelligent machine systems to reduce the workload of nurses in the hospitals.Methods:Using phenomenological research methods, a total of 17 clinical nurses from Nanjing Drum Tower Hospital Affiliated to Medical School of Nanjing University, Zhongda Hospital Southeast University and the First People′s Hospital of Lianyungang from November 2021 to March 2022 were selected for semi-structured interviews. Colaizzi content analysis method was used to sort out the data.Results:Clinical nurses′requirements for application scenarios of nursing robots could be summarized into four themes: feasibility of clinical application of robot recognized by nurses; expected alternative care scenarios; summary of nursing robot design features; multiple factors limit the application of nursing robots.Conclusions:Clinical nurses have diverse requirements for the application scenarios of nursing robots, and only part of non-clinical tasks will be authorized to robots in a short period of time. In the face of future opportunities and challenges, with the help of policies, legal supervision should be strengthened, so as to improve the reliability and safety of clinical application of nursing robots.
ABSTRACT
Objective:To construct a social loss indicator system based on the perspective of epidemic prevention and control against background of emerging major infectious diseases at the national, hospital, and individual levels, and to provide decision-making basis for public general hospitals to formulate prevention and control strategies for emerging major infectious diseases.Methods:Literatures published before December 23, 2020 were retrieved from CNKI, Wanfang, VIP, Web of Science, Google Scholar with such keywords as " infectious diseases" " public health emergencies" " social losses" " COVID-19" " evaluation". Then a preliminary social loss indicator system of public general hospitals for emerging major infectious diseases was constructed from such dimensions as country, hospital, and individual, by implementing literature analysis and expert consultation. Based on such a preliminary system, three questionnaires were designed for the country, hospitals, and individuals and the corresponding data were collected from December 25, 2021 to May 20, 2022. In the end, a factor analysis was made on the questionnaire data to optimize the social loss indicator system and determine the weights of each indicator.Results:The social loss indicator system consists of 14 level-1 indicators and 60 level-2 indicators. Level-1 indicators at country aspect consisted of government governance capacity, direct economic losses, social security, online public opinion, indirect economic losses, and international cooperation; indicators at hospital aspect consisted of hospital manpower, material resources, and information resources, hospital services, and hospital operations; indicators at the individual aspect consisted of physical health, psychological and social health, and external environment. Level-1 indicators of the highest weight at all aspects were social security, manpower, material and information resources, as well as physiological health. And the level-2 indicators of the highest weight were high medical expenses, overwork for staff other than doctors and nurses and medical insurance.Conclusions:The social loss indicator system for emerging major infectious diseases constructed in this study proves scientific and reasonable, helpful for the formulation of prevention and control strategies of public general hospitals.

Patients were taken care by general practitioners in the community health center under the guidance of hospital specialists, and with the active participation of patients and their family. This article introduces this integrated management model and the preliminary accomplishment to provide a reference for the management of patients with chronic liver diseases in the community.
ABSTRACT
Objective:To analyze the nursing efficiency of clinical departments in general hospitals under the background of medical insurance payment reform, and to explore the methods of rational allocation of resources and improvement of service efficiency.Methods:The relevant data of Qingdao Municipal Hospital from January to December 2020 were selected. The nursing efficiency of 20 clinical departments in the hospital was evaluated by data envelopment analysis (DEA) and Malmquist index. The input indexes were the number of nurses, the number of hours, the number of open beds. The output indicators were number of discharges, average length of stay, and case mix index.Results:In 2020, the average comprehensive efficiency, pure technical efficiency and scale efficiency of 20 clinical departments in the hospital were 0.845, 0.913 and 0.923, respectively.The total factor production efficiency index of the hospital from February to April, from May to September and from October to November were all greater than 1, but the total factor production efficiency index from January to December was less than 1. There were 5 departments with total factor production efficiency index greater than 1.Conclusions:The comprehensive nursing efficiency of clinical departments needs to be improved, and diagnosis related groups (DRG) poses a more severe challenge to the efficiency management of internal medicine nursing. The COVID-19 epidemic has a great impact on the efficiency of nursing services.It is feasible to evaluate the nursing efficiency with DEA model and DRG related indicators.Combined with the disease characteristics and nursing work characteristics of patients admitted to the department, the deep causes should be explored, comprehensive measures should be taken to improve nursing efficiency, precise nursing service transformation based on the reform of medical insurance payment mode should be explored, Internet + nursing service should be promoted, and the improvement of nursing resource efficiency under the status of normal epidemic prevention and control should be paid attention to.
ABSTRACT
ABSTRACT Objectives: to understand, from a worker's health perspective, the knowledge of nursing professionals about the use of antineoplastic drugs in a general hospital. Methods: a descriptive and exploratory study with a qualitative approach. It was conducted at a university hospital, between April and August 2018, with 35 nursing professionals who responded to a semi-structured interview. Thematic analysis was used for data treatment. Results: from the data, three thematic categories emerged, related to the nursing professionals' knowledge about antineoplastic drugs and their effects on workers' health; situations in which exposure to these drugs occurs; and protection mechanisms for the patient, the environment, and the worker. Final Considerations: the nursing professionals had little knowledge about antineoplastic drugs. The practices related to handling and the necessary protective measures to deal with these drugs were empirically determined and relatively subsidized the knowledge acquired by the professionals.

ABSTRACT
RESUMO O objetivo deste artigo foi analisar o modelo de provisão de leitos de saúde mental em três hospitais gerais da cidade do Rio de Janeiro e sua relação com a Rede de Atenção Psicossocial. Foram realizadas entrevistas com gestores locais, um gestor municipal e dois ex-coordenadores nacionais de saúde mental. Os resultados apontaram que os hospitais estudados oferecem espaços restritivos, com predomínio de terapia farmacológica e forte influência do modelo biomédico. A presença dos leitos de saúde mental nos hospitais tem-se mostrado uma experiência bem-sucedida na melhoria do cuidado integral aos usuários. A interação com a Rede de Atenção Psicossocial foi apresentada como modelo de assistência preconizado, mas ainda enfrentando fragilidades em sua implementação. Os achados da pesquisa evidenciaram que a baixa implantação de leitos de saúde mental em hospital geral na cidade se deve a lacunas na formação de profissionais e ao estigma que faz com que gestores resistam em receber usuários com transtornos mentais em suas instituições. Modificações recentes na política nacional de saúde mental, no sentido de interromper o fechamento de leitos em hospitais psiquiátricos, devem acarretar alterações na direção da reforma psiquiátrica no País.
ABSTRACT The aim of this article is to analyze the model of provision of mental health beds in three general hospitals in the city of Rio de Janeiro and its relationship with the psychosocial care network. Interviews were conducted with local managers, a municipal manager and two former national mental health coordinators. The results showed that the studied hospitals offer restrictive spaces, with a predominance of pharmacological therapy and a strong influence of the biomedical model. The presence of mental health beds in hospitals has proved to be a successful experience in improving comprehensive care for users. The interaction with the psychosocial care network was presented as a recommended care model, but still facing weaknesses in its implementation. The research findings showed that the low implementation of mental health beds in a general hospital in the city is due to gaps in the training of professionals and the stigma that makes managers resist receiving users with mental disorders in their institutions. Recent changes in the national mental health policy in the sense of interrupting the closure of beds in psychiatric hospitals should lead to changes in the direction of psychiatric reform in the country.
ABSTRACT
Abstract Background Mental health disorders are common in China. There is a lack of knowledge and resources of mental health in China. Objectives To assess the levels of psychiatric resources and services in general hospitals in China. Methods Data regarding psychiatric departments, wards and staff were collected from 57 general hospitals in four provinces of China (Hubei, Zhejiang, Heilongjiang and Yunnan) between April 2014 and June 2014. Questionnaires were distributed to 1,200 non-psychiatric clinicians. Results Among the 57 hospitals, 50 provided mental health services, 36 had mental health wards, and seven had neither mental health clinics nor wards. The median number of mental health clinicians was six per hospital. The median number of specialized nurses was 42 per hospital. A total of 1,152 non-psychiatric clinicians with a career duration of 9.4 ± 8.9 years returned completed questionnaires. Only 6.9% reported a good understanding of the manifestation of anxiety and depressive disorders, 4.5% reported a good understanding of the diagnostic criteria, and 3.8% reported a good understanding of the treatment protocols. Discussion There is inadequate awareness of anxiety and depressive disorders among non-psychiatric clinicians in general hospitals in China. This awareness/understanding increased with increasing hospital level.

The construction of teaching faculty is not only a core element to carry out medical education in municipal general hospitals, but also a weak link. Constructing a performance evaluation system of teaching faculty has important significance in promoting teaching reform and innovation, and improving teachers' enthusiasm for teaching as well as their teaching quality in municipal general hospitals. Taking the Affiliated Dongguan People's Hospital of Southern Medical University as an example, this paper focused on the construction of teaching faculty and aimed to provide references for municipal general hospitals to build a performance evaluation system through the promotion of a series of measures such as teaching ability assessment, quantitative assessment of teaching work, teaching quality evaluation, and teaching contribution assessment.

ABSTRACT
O objetivo deste artigo é problematizar o cenário atual da saúde mental no Brasil, mais especificamente dos pacientes internados em hospitais gerais com demanda de crise psíquica, pensando o lugar de cuidado que a psicologia ocupa e produz nesse contexto e também a (re)produção de lógicas manicomiais e medicamentosas que ainda atravessam os equipamentos e profissionais da saúde. As experiências narradas neste trabalho fazem parte das vivências cartografadas em um hospital geral no estado do Espírito Santo, onde atuo como psicóloga atendendo pessoas acometidas de transtorno mental, conforme deliberado pela lei 10.216. As narrativas foram construídas no formato de carta, com o objetivo de mobilizar uma escrita viva, interconectada à análise das problemáticas apresentadas; bem como o de fissurar o modelo de ciência hegemônico que prevalece no contemporâneo.
The objective of this article is to problematize the current mental health scenario in Brazil, more specifically of patients admitted in general hospitals with demands for psychic crisis, thinking about the place of care that psychology occupies and produces in this context as well as the (re)production of mental and pharmacological logics that still cross equipment and health professionals. The experiences narrated are part of the livingness mapped in a general hospital of the state of Espírito Santo, where I work as a psychologist, caring for people suffering from mental disorder, as deliberated by the law 10.216. The narratives were weaved in the form of letters, with the purpose of mobilizing a living writing, interconnected with the analysis of the presented problems; as well as to fissure the hegemonic science model that prevails in contemporary world.

BACKGROUND: This study was purposed to analyze the effect of spatial accessibility to the psychiatry department in general hospital on the outpatient visit of mental patients. METHODS: Data was provided from the Statistics Korea and Statistical Geographic Information Service, National Health Insurance Service, Health Insurance Review and Assessment Service, and Korea Transport Institute in 2015. The study regions were 103 administrative regions such as Si and Gu. The 103 regions had at least one general hospitals with a psychiatry department. The number of outpatient visit of mental patients in regions was used as the dependent variable. Spatial accessibility to mental general hospital was used as the independent variable. Control variables included such as demographic, economic, and health·medical factors. This study used network analysis and multi-variate regression analysis. Network analysis by ArcGIS ver. 10.0 (ESRI, Redlands, CA, USA) was used to evaluate the average travel time and travel distance in Korea. Multi-variate regression analysis was conducted by SAS ver. 9.4 (SAS Institute Inc., Cary, NC, USA). RESULTS: Travel distance and time had significant effects on the number of outpatient visits in mental patients in general hospital. Average travel time and travel distance had negative effects on the number of visits. Variables such as (number of total population, percentage of aged population over 65, and number of mental general hospital) had significant effects on the number of visit in mental patients. CONCLUSION: Health policy makers will need to consider the spatial accessibility to the mental healthcare organization in conducting regional health planning.

BACKGROUND: Oral food challenge (OFC) tests are conducted in both specialized institutions and general hospitals. We aimed to compare the severity of the conditions of the patients between these 2 types of institutions in order to consider the role of such institutions in society. OBJECTIVE: We evaluated the results of OFC tests for hen's egg, cow's milk, and wheat that were conducted in a specialized institution (Aichi Children's Health and Medical Center [ACHMC], n = 835) and in 4 general hospitals (n = 327) in Aichi prefecture, Japan. METHODS: The symptoms provoked were scored using the total score (TS) of the Anaphylaxis Scoring Aichi scoring system in combination with the total ingested protein dose (Pro) before the appearance of allergic symptoms. RESULTS: The total ingested dose of the challenge-positive patients in ACHMC was significantly less than that in the general hospitals (p < 0.01). The median TS of the provoked symptoms in ACHMC and the general hospitals did not differ to a statistically significant extent in the hen's egg or cow's milk challenges; however, the median TS in ACHMC was significantly lower than that in the general hospitals for the wheat challenge (p = 0.02). The median TS/Pro values in ACHMC were almost identical to the upper 25% of the TS/Pro values in the general hospitals, suggesting that the specialized institution usually managed more severe patients. CONCLUSION: The specialized institution performed OFC tests at a lower threshold dose, but provoked similar TSs to the general hospitals. This evaluation may help in optimizing the distribution of patients to general hospitals and specialized institutions.
