ABSTRACT

ABSTRACT Objective: To analyze whether an increase in patient severity and nursing workload are correlated to a greater incidence of adverse events (AEs) in critical patients. Method: A prospective single cohort study was performed on a sample of 138 patients hospitalized in an intensive care unit (ICU). Results: A total of 166 AEs, occurred, affecting 50.7% of the patients. Increased patient severity presented a direct relationship to the probability of AEs occurring. However, nursing workload did not present a statistically significant relationship with the occurrence of AEs. Conclusion: The results cast light on the importance of using evaluation tools by the nursing personnel in order to optimize their daily activities and focus on patient safety.


RESUMEN Objetivo: Analizar si el aumento de la gravedad del paciente y la carga de trabajo de enfermería está relacionada con mayor incidencia de Eventos Adversos (EAs) en pacientes críticos. Método: Estudio de cohorte única, prospectivo, con muestra de 138 pacientes internados en una Unidad de Terapia Intensiva (UTI). Resultados: En total, fueron evidenciados 166 EAs, incidiendo sobre 50,7% de los pacientes. El aumento de la gravedad del paciente mostró relación directa con la posibilidad de ocurrencia de EAs. Sin embargo, la carga de trabajo de enfermería no demostró relación estadísticamente significativa en la ocurrencia de EAs. Conclusión: Los resultados permiten reflexionar sobre la importancia del equipo de enfermería, en utilizar instrumentos de evaluación, con el objeto de mejorar y planificar sus acciones diarias, enfocándose en la seguridad del paciente.


RESUMO Objetivo: Analisar se o aumento da gravidade do paciente e a carga de trabalho de enfermagem está relacionado à maior incidência de Eventos Adversos (EAs) em pacientes críticos. Método: Estudo de coorte única, prospectivo, com amostra de 138 pacientes internados em uma Unidade de Terapia Intensiva (UTI). Resultados: Ao todo, foram evidenciados 166 EAs, que acometeram 50,7% dos pacientes. O aumento da gravidade do paciente apresentou relação direta com a chance de ocorrência de EAs. Entretanto, a carga de trabalho de enfermagem não apresentou relação estatisticamente significativa, na ocorrência de EAs. Conclusão: Os resultados permitem refletir acerca da importância da equipe de enfermagem, em utilizar instrumentos de avaliação, com o objetivo de melhorar e planejar suas ações diárias, com foco na segurança do paciente.

ABSTRACT

This paper examines ethical dilemmas in providing care for people with HIV/AIDS. Healthcare providers in this sector are overworked, particularly in the high prevalence states. They are faced with the dual burden of the physical and the emotional risks of providing this care. The emotional risks result from their inability to control their work environment, while having to deal with the social and cultural dimensions of patients’ experiences. The physical risk is addressed to some extent by post exposure prophylaxis. But the emotional risk is largely left to the individual and there is little by way of institutional responsibility for minimising this. The guidelines for training workers in care and support programmes do not include any detailed institutional mechanisms for reducing workplace stress. This aspect of the programme needs to be examined for its ethical justification. The omission of institutional mechanisms to reduce the emotional risks experienced by healthcare providers in the HIV/AIDS sector could be a function of lack of coordination across different stakeholders in programme development. This can be addressed in further formulations of the programme. Whatever the reasons may be for overlooking these needs, the ethics of this choice need to be carefully reviewed.

ABSTRACT

The hospital activities have shout down without correct and well educated personnel. On the other hand fresh and satisfy manpower is the main object for presenting the qualitative service in organization. This is a descriptive and analytic survey and its objective is to analyze of manpower distribution that work in diagnostic, treatmental and logistic units of private and governmental hospitals in the city of Kerman and comparing it with standards. Data were gathered by observation, interview and completing a twelve item questionnaire which performed for pharmacy, laboratory, radiology, physiotherapy, nutrition, nursing, and other medical units. The questionnaire had 20 general questions about different hospital wards and numbers of available personnel. Administrative affair, physiotherapy, nutrition, laundry, pharmacy and accounting units had marginal shortage of manpower by 2.6% and nursing, medical, installation, laboratory and radiology marginal shortage of manpower by 3%. In comparison with the standards Afzalipoor hospital, Shahid Bahonar hospital and Rasie Firooz hospital are facing with 4.2% extra manpower and Shahid Beheshti hospital and Shafa hospitals are facing with the average of 6.3% extra manpower. Full service of medical resident doctors and personnel in the hospitals that spent formal period of work time for government [Tarh] [medical and paramedical] is a major reason for extra manpower. In spite of, these personnel formally do not belong to the hospitals, but they are practically as important hospital manpower and we count them as hospital manpower. Other reason of manpower deficiency is retirement and unsubsitution of employee. Using personnel in different positions at the same time for saving the money is the main reason of uncompleting the organization chart

ABSTRACT

Fundamento: Concursos para emprego excluem candidatos com exames anormais e/ou hipertensos e há incentivo à aposentadoria ou exclusão, se empregados.Objetivo: Demonstrar que, em motoristas de ônibus, a seleção e o incentivo à aposentadoria estavam relacionados à HAS.Métodos: Estudo epidemiológico transversal em população pré-definida. Pressão arterial(PA)sistólica(PAS): 1ªfase dos sons de Korotkof e PA diastólica(PAD) na 5ª(esfignomanômetro de coluna de mercúrio). HAS:PA maior igual 140/90 mmhg ou normotensos usando medicação anti-hipertensiva. Estatística:Stata5:Qui quadrado e prevalência.Resultados:Examinados 559 de 610(sexo masculino) motoristas de ônibus. Média de idade 41,3 anos. A prevalência de HAS foi 20,8 por cento(116/559) no grupo estudado, sendo: até 12 meses de trabalho(89,5 por cento maior que 30 anos de idade) de 5,3 por cento(1/19) - este hipertenso tinha PA normal na admissão; na faixa 12-24 meses foi de 9,8 por cento(6/61). Na faixa etária 30-39 anos foi de 10,7 por cento(22/205) e na de maior igual 60 anos de 11,1 por cento(1/9). A prevalência dentro das faixas de tempo de trabalho, elevou-se de faixas etárias menores para maiores, menos na faixa maior igual 300 meses(25 anos), quando ocorreu o contrário. Houve redução abrupta da prevalência (52,4 por cento para 18,4 por cento) na faixa etária 50-59 anos, entre as faixas de 240-299 meses(20-24,9 anos) e maior que 300 meses de trabalho.Conclusão/discussão: A prevalência da HAS deveu-se provavelmente, à não contratação, ao incentivo à aposentadoria ou à demissão dos chamados hipertensos. A redução da prevalência da faixa etária 50-59 anos, entre as faixas 20-25 anos e maior igual 25 anos de trabalho,a baixa prevalência (11,1 por cento) nos idosos (maior igual 60 anos) e a prevalência decrescente com aumento da faixa etária entre os maiores de 25 anos de trabalho, demostram seleção rigorosa nestes. Apesar disso, a prevalência foi elevada (fator laboral?). Deve-se rastrear a HAS visando à prevenção/tratamento e não a exclusão
