Estimación de la eficiencia del uso de pabellones electivos en el sistema de salud público chileno entre 2018 y 2021 / Efficiency estimation on the use of elective surgical theaters in the Chilean public health system from 2018 to 2021

Objective The efficient use of wards intended for elective surgeries is essential to resolve cases on the surgical waiting list. This study aims to estimate the efficiency of ward use in the Chilean public health system between 2018 and 2021. Methods The design was an ecological study. Section A.21 of the database constructed by the monthly statistical summaries that each public health network facility reported to the Ministry of Health between 2018 and 2021 was analyzed. Data from subsections A, E and F were extracted: ward staffing, total elective surgeries by specialty, number and causes of suspension of elective surgeries. Then, the surgical performance during working hours and the percentage of hourly occupancy for a working day was estimated. Additionally, an analysis was made by region with data from 2021. Results The percentage of elective wards in use ranged from 81.1% to 94.1%, while those enabled for those staffing ranged from 70.5% to 90.4% during 2018 and 2021. The total number of surgeries was highest in 2019 (n = 416 339), but for 2018, 2020, and 2021 it ranged from 259 000 to 297 000. Suspensions varied between 10.8% (2019) and 6.9% (2021), with the leading cause being patient-related. When analyzing the number of cases canceled monthly by facility, we saw that the leading cause was trade union-related. The maximum throughput of a ward intended for elective surgery was reached in 2019 and was 2.5 surgeries; in 2018, 2020 and 2021, the throughput borders on two surgeries per ward enabled for elective surgery. The percentage of ward time occupied during working hours by contract day varies between 80.7% (2018) and 56.8% (2020). Conclusions All the parameters found and estimated in this study show that there is an inefficient utilization of operating rooms in Chilean public healthcare facilities.

Objetivo El uso eficiente de pabellones destinados a cirugías electivas es fundamental para resolver patologías en lista de espera quirúrgica. El objetivo general de este estudio es estimar la eficiencia del uso de pabellones en el sistema de salud público de Chile entre los años 2018 y 2021. Métodos El diseño fue un estudio ecológico. Se analizó la Sección A.21 de la base de datos construida por los resúmenes estadísticos mensuales que cada establecimiento de la red de salud pública reportó al Ministerio de Salud de Chile entre 2018 y 2021. Se extrajeron los datos de la subsección A, E y F: dotación de pabellones, total de cirugías electivas por especialidad, número y causas de suspensión de cirugías electivas. Luego se estimó el rendimiento quirúrgico en horario hábil y el porcentaje de ocupación horaria respecto de una jornada laboral. Adicionalmente, se hizo un análisis por región con datos de 2021. Resultados El porcentaje de pabellones electivos respecto de los en dotación varió entre 81,1 y 94,1%; mientras que los habilitados respecto de los en dotación varió entre 70,5 y 90,4% durante 2018 y 2021. El número total de cirugías fue más alto en 2019 (n = 416 339), pero en 2018, 2020 y 2021 variaron entre 259 y 297 mil cirugías. Las suspensiones varían entre 10,8 (2019) y 6,9%w(2021), siendo la principal causa de suspensión atribuida al "paciente". Al analizar la cantidad de pacientes suspendidos mensualmente por institución, se observa que la principal causa es "gremial". El rendimiento máximo de un pabellón destinado a cirugía electiva se alcanzó en 2019 y fue de 2,5 cirugías; mientras que en 2018, 2020 y 2021 el rendimiento bordea las dos cirugías por pabellón habilitado para cirugía electiva. El porcentaje de tiempo de pabellón ocupado en horario hábil respecto a una jornada de contrato varía entre 80,7 (2018) y 56,8% (2020). Conclusiones Todos los parámetros encontrados y estimados en este estudio muestran que el uso de pabellones en el sistema público de Chile es ineficiente.

Safety culture among operating room healthcare workers: still a long way to go. An analytical cross-sectional study from Turkey

Introduction: safety culture attitudes of health workers are still not at the desired level. Although the creation of patient safety culture is important for all health care environments, it is more vital for critical units. Objective: to determine the patient safety culture levels of those working in the operating room environment and compare them with the 2008 results of the same hospitals. Materials and Methods: an analytical cross-sectional study was conducted in 2017-2018. The Turkish version of the Hospital Survey on Patient Safety Culture was administered to nurses, anesthesia technicians, assistant physicians, and specialist physicians working in the Operating Rooms (n=258) of two university hospitals in Konya, a large city in Anatolian region of Turkey. Results: average percent positive response to the 42 items was low (41%, n=258). While there was no change in one dimension of the questionnaire compared to 2008; there was a positive change in 8 dimensions and a negative change in 3 dimensions. All 12 dimensions were lower than the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality score. Discussion: Despite many studies, policy developments and interventions on patient safety, the improvement of a patient safety culture is very slowly in Turkey as in other countries. Conclusion: non-reporting of errors and a punitive approach in case of errors are still considered the most important problems.

Ninteen patients received cluster nursing (cluster nursing group), with operating room nursing team set up on the basis of routine nursing and performed cluster nursing in line with evidence-based medicine. Twenty-two patients received routine nursing (routine nursing group). The operation time, intraoperative blood loss, frequency of intraoperative C-arm fluoroscopy, time of drainage tube placement and chief surgeon′s satisfaction for nursing were compared between the two groups. The degree of pain was evaluated by pain numerical score (NRS) at 12 hours, 24 hours, 48 hours, 72 hours, 1 month and 3 months after operation and at the last follow-up. The neck disability index (NDI) was assessed at 1 day before operation, 1 month after operation, 3 months after operation and at the last follow-up. The complications were observed.Results:All patients were followed up for 12-18 months [(16.7±3.7)months]. The operation time, intraoperative blood loss, frequency of C-arm fluoroscopy and time of drainage tube placement in cluster nursing group were (82.9±10.4)minutes, (105.9±11.8)ml, (3.8±0.6)times and (1.5±0.4)days, while those in routine nursing group were (125.7±12.8)minutes, (208.4±13.8)ml, (9.7±2.3)times and (3.6±0.6)days, respectively (all P<0.01). The chief surgeon′s satisfaction for nursing was 94.7% (18/19) in cluster nursing group and was 68.2% (15/22) in routine nursing group ( P<0.05). The NRS in cluster nursing group was (6.2±0.4)points, (6.0±0.7)points, (4.9±1.1)points, (2.7±0.5)points, (1.9±0.4)points, (1.8±0.4)points and (1.5±0.3)points at 12 hours, 24 hours, 48 hours, 72 hours, 1 month and 3 months after operation and at the last follow-up, while it was (7.6±0.6)points, (6.8±1.2)points, (5.8±1.5)points, (4.2±0.8)points, (3.4±0.7)points, (2.6±0.5)points and (2.2±0.5)points in routine nursing group ( P<0.05 or 0.01). There was no significant difference in the NDI between the two groups at 1 day before operation, but the NDI in cluster nursing group was 20.6±4.5, 14.6±2.8 and 10.7±2.5 at 1 month and 3 months after operation and at the last follow-up, while it was 26.9±4.1, 18.7±3.3 and 13.7±1.7 in routine nursing group (all P<0.01). There was no hematoma, infection or implant-related complications in both groups .Conclusion:For robot-assisted surgery in the treatment of reducible atlantoaxial dislocation, cluster nursing is associated with shortened operation time and time of drainage tube placement, decreased intraoperative blood loss and frequency of intraoperative fluoroscopy, increased chief surgeon′s satisfaction for nursing, reduced pain and accelerated functional recovery.

Mediating effect of emotion regulatory self-efficacy in the relationship between musculoskeletal disorders and turnover intention among operating room nurses / 中国职业医学

Objective To explore the mediating effect of emotion regulatory self-efficacy (ERSE) in the relationship between musculoskeletal disorders and turnover intention in operating room nurses. Methods A total of 372 operating room nurses from five hospitals in Shenyang City were selected as the research subjects using covenient sampling method. The Musculoskeletal Disorders Questionnaire, Turnover Intention Scale, and Emotional Self-Regulation Efficacy Scale were used to study the prevalence of work-related musculoskeletal disorders (WMSDs), turnover intention, and ERSE among the study subjects. The Bootstrap method was used for mediation effect analysis of ERSE. Results The prevalence of WMSDs among operating room nurses was 69.9%. The scores for turnover intention and ERSE among operating room nurses were (13.6±6.3) and (34.7±16.2), respectively. ERSE played a partial mediating role in the relationship between WMSDs and turnover intention among operating room nurses, with an effect value of 0.04 and the 95% confidence interval of 0.01 to 0.08, accounting for 8.1% of the total effect. Conclusion WMSDs and ERSE directly influence turnover intention among operating room nurses. WMSDs can indirectly increase turnover intention by reducing ERSE among operating room nurses.

Visual analysis of occupational health and safety research among medical staff / 中国职业医学

Objective: To study the current status, hotspots and frontiers in the field of occupational health and safety (OHS) research among medical staff. Methods: A comprehensive search on OHS of domestic and international literature on medical staff was conducted using the China National Knowledge Infrastructure and Web of Science databases from 2002 to 2022. The collected literature was subjected to bibliometric analysis and visualized using CiteSpace 6.1.R6 software. Results: A total of 5 858 articles related to medical personnel OHS comprising 2 144 Chinese articles and 3 714 English articles, were included. The publication of Chinese articles showed an initial increase followed by a decline, while English articles exhibited a sustained increase followed by a sudden decline. Domestic research mainly focused on hospitals and academic institutions, with few collaboration between institutions and regions in China. Research abroad demonstrated strong collaboration and exchange between countries and institutions. The OHS related research hotspots were occupational exposure, occupational health, and occupational safety of medical personnel at home and abroad. The key department of interest was operating rooms, and the key group personnel was nurses. Advanced research in foreign countries has extended to fields such as personal protective equipment and medical personnel sleep issues. Conclusion: There is still a gap on OHS research among medical staff between China and foreign countries. Domestic scholars need to grasp the academic frontiers, strengthen collaboration and exchange among domestic institutions, regions, and international counterparts, enlarge the research scope and content to ensure the OHS of medical personnel.

Avaliação de indicadores de qualidade na gestão do centro cirúrgico de um hospital terciário / Evaluation of quality indicators in the management of an operating room at a tertiary-level hospital

Introdução: Por se tratar de um setor complexo e que compreende grande parte dos custos de um hospital, o centro cirúrgico demanda uma contínua avaliação de suas atividades, com o objetivo de propiciar uma melhora da sua eficiência e da segurança dos pacientes. Uma estratégia interessante para se realizar tal avaliação é a utilização de um conjunto de indicadores de qualidade preestabelecidos, dividindo os atributos do serviço em estrutura, processos e resultados. Para que isso seja possível, é necessário que o serviço analisado possua uma fonte de dados bem estruturada, tendo o Núcleo Interno de Regulação um papel importante nesse processo. Objetivo: Este estudo teve como objetivo a análise de índices de gestão do centro cirúrgico de um hospital terciário especializado em cirurgias eletivas através da mensuração de dados referentes a indicadores de qualidade. Metodologia: Trata-se de um estudo observacional descritivo feito de forma retrospectiva em um hospital escola público do interior do estado de São Paulo. Foram mensurados 18 indicadores referentes ao período de 01/06/2019 a 31/12/2019, a partir de consultas a diferentes setores administrativos do local. Os resultados passaram por uma análise estatística descritiva ao final da coleta de dados. Resultados: Os principais resultados encontrados foram: taxa de cumprimento da agenda cirúrgica de 95,8%, taxa de cancelamento de 4,1%, taxa de ocupação de 47,9%, turnover de 23,1 minutos, tempo médio de atraso no início das cirurgias de 32,8 minutos, tempo de permanência na sala de recuperação pós-anestésica de 37,4 minutos, taxa de absenteísmo dos profissionais de 8,94% e as taxas de infecção do sítio cirúrgico, de mortalidade operatória e de acidente de trabalho foram todas 0%. Conclusões: Apesar da alta taxa de cumprimento da agenda cirúrgica, a taxa de ocupação se encontrou aquém do ideal, sugerindo que o agendamento das cirurgias pode ser melhorado. Além disso, demonstrou-se que a estratégia de "cirurgias reservas" adotada no hospital auxilia no cumprimento da meta de cirurgias programadas e no aumento da taxa de ocupação (AU)

Introduction: As a complex sector that results in a large part of the costs in a hospital, the operating room demands a continuous evaluation of its activities, with the objective of providing an improvement in its efficiency and in patient safety. An interesting strategy to carry out such an evaluation is using a set of pre-established quality indicators, by the division of the service's attributes into structure, processes and results, which can provide a broad perspective of the activities developed and facilitate decision-making by the hospital manager. In this analysis process, it is necessary that the service has a well-structured data source, where the Internal Regulation Center plays an important role. Objective: The objective of this study was to analyze, through the measurement of data related to quality indicators, the management indexes of the operating room of a tertiary-level hospital specialized in elective surgeries. Methodology: This is a descriptive observational study that was conducted retrospectively at a public teaching hospital. In this research, 18 indicators, related to the period from 06/01/2019 to 12/31/2019, were measured based on consultations to different administrative sectors of the hospital. The results went through a descriptive statistical analysis at the end of data collection. Results:The main results found were as follows: the fulfillment rate of the surgical schedule was 95.8%, the cancellation rate was 4.1%, the occupancy rate was 47.9%, the turnover time was 23.1 minutes, the mean delay time in the start of surgeries was 32.8 minutes, length of stay in the post-anesthesia care unit was 37.4 minutes, the professionals' absenteeism rate was 8.94%, and the rates of surgical site infection, operative mortality and work accident were all 0%. Conclusions: Despite the high fulfillment rate of the surgical schedule, the occupancy rate was below the ideal, suggesting that scheduling of surgeries can be improved. In addition, it was shown that the "reserve surgeries" strategy adopted at the hospital helped to reach the goal of scheduled surgeries and to increase the occupancy rate (AU)
