impact of training and development on employee's performance on private and public hospitals in Lahore, Pakistan

To find out the relationship between the training and development on employee performance in hospitals. Descriptive and quantitative, cross sectional study. This study was carried out at National Institute of Business Administration and in private and public hospitals, Lahore from 5[th] February 2013 to 1[st] August 2013. The independent variables are training and development and employee performance is dependent variable Hypothesis are proposed. Non-probability and simple convenience sampling used for research purpose. Data was collected from the respondents through questionnaires. About 100 Questionnaires were distributed and collected. The study states that there is a positive correlation between training and employee performance. The value of R[2] is 0.407 which means that 40.7 % variation in the employee's performance is brought by training and development programs. The value of B[0] is 1.85 which interprets that if there is no investment in training then employee performance will be 1.85. The value of B1 is 0.407 which means that if there is 1% change in training there will be 40.7% change in employee performance. The subjected study is directly related to the role of training in increasing the performance of employees and it is found that training plays an effective role in enhancing the capabilities of both new and current employees

Relationship of corporate social employees responsibility [CSR] with job attitude and behavior: employee's perception.[a study of public and private hospitals in Lahore Pakistan]

The main objective of the study to find out the relationship between Corporate Social Responsibility [CSR] with Job attitude and behavior that how employee [paramedical and administration] of a hospital take care of their patients. Cross sectional study: This study was carried out in the Global Institute [CFE Campus] Lahore from March 2014 to July 2014. Sampling frame collected from employees and managers who are working in various hospitals of Lahore. Non-probability sampling techniques are used which does not involve random selection. Questionnaire was conducted in the form of closed ended question. Survey was conducted from June. During the survey, overall 204 questionnaires were distributed. Participant responded on the questionnaire on a scale of 1 to 5. The highest value is job behavior [0.763] factor which is 76.3% and it shows that the employee perception of CSR has greater influence by the job behavior factor as compare to the other variables. Mostly employee behavior with their organization is effective and their work with their colleague is done efficiently to guide and help the staff.The ratio of job attitude factor is 5.2% which shows that this factor also influences the employee perception of CSR less than the job behavior factor. Moreover the ratio of job attitude factor is 5.2% which means that job attitude toward organization is not positive. Adjusted R square 0.347 are the dependent variable. Overall whole dependent variable is significant. The R-square of the regression is 35.3% which shows the variation in dependent variable that is predicted by independent variables. The adjusted r-square is 34.7%.This study found that employees CSR perception has effects on employees work outcomes. Employees play an important role in their organizations and their perception of CSR will influence their subsequent work outcomes. The CSR programs would benefit both corporations and their employees. Organizations would also benefit from effectively interacting with their employees on CSR issues

Surveillance of antibiotic susceptibility patterns among Shigella species in stools of diarrheal children

The objective of the present study was to find out the frequency of Shigella spp. in diarrheal patients in Pakistan and the susceptibility of isolated Shigella to different antibiotics: ampicillin, nalidixic acid, meropenem, tetracycline, amikacin, azactam, ciprofloxacin and chloremphenicol. Experimental study. This study was conducted at Pediatric Department, Mayo Hospital, Lahore and study was approved by Pakistan Pediatric Association. Stool samples were collected from 50 diarrheal children less than five years of age who were admitted in the Paediatric department Mayo Hospital Lahore, Pakistan. The samples were cultivated on standard media for Shigella, and Enterobacteriaceae. Susceptivility of Shigella isolates was tested by disk method. The frequency of isolation was 80% for Shigella species and 20% in others. Shigella, dysenteriae [65%] was the most frequently isolated species, followed by S. flexneri [23%], S. boydii, [10%] and S. sonnei [5%]. All Shigella isolates were 100% sensitive to amikacin, azactam and ciprofloxacin, while multiple drug resistance patterns were observed by all four isolates to other antibiotics. Shigella resistance is increasing against most commonly used antibiotics. Now it is the time not only to explore new drugs but also to invoke awareness about the hazards of unhygienic conditions and self medication

diagnosis and management of the urological complications of renal transplantation: a series of 1100 patients

To analyse the Urological Complications after Renal Transplantation and their management. A retrospective analysis of 1150 consecutive live donor renal transplants was performed. The study period extended from December 1995 to December 2004. The surgical procedure for ureteral reimplantation was modified Lich anastomosis. Ultrasonography, renal scanning, antegrade pyelography, retrograde pyelography and cystography were the diagnostic tools. Overall, 68 primary urological complications [5.9%] were identified during the 15-year experience in 65 patients. The Urological Complications in our series included 35 ureteral obstruction [3.0%], 25 ureteral or bladder leaks [2.17%], 05 out flow obstruction, 02 cases of vesicoureteral reflux and 01 case of ureteral stone. The incidence of Urological Complications in our study is 5.9%. Early exploration of the ureteric leaks and timely intervention to obstructed kidney reduced the morbidity and improves graft su rvival. The causes of these complications and techniques for their prevention are discussed in this study

Transrectal ultrasound guided biopsy of the prostate

Transrectal ultrasonography is a useful method of imaging the prostate gland. Endorectal ultrasonography may be used in the assessment of the enlarged or nodular prostrate. Benign prosttatic hyperplasia, prostatitis and prostatic cancer can be evaluated by this technique. In the management of patients with prostatic cancer, transrectal ultrasound scanning is invaluable in the diagnosis, staging, treatment and follow-up of the disease. We at Jinnah Hospital/Lahore General Hospital Lahore are using this technique for the imaging of prostate for the last many years. In this paper we will describe our experience regarding the value of transrectal ultrasound guided biopsy of the prostate in the diagnosis of prostatic cancer. A consecutive series of 200 ultrasound-guided biopsies of the prostate have been analysed. In 121 patients, in whom malignancy was suspected by both digital examination and ultrasound, 72 cancers were confirmed histologically. In 33 patients in whom digital rectal examination suggested cancer but ultrasound was normal, 3 cancers were confirmed. In 30 patients with a normal digital examination but a suspicious ultrasound appearance, 5 cancers were proven

Value of transrectal ultrasonography in prostatic diseases

Transrectal ultrasonography is a new addition in the armamentarium of urologists. We at Jinnah Hospital/Lahore General Hospital, are using this technique for the imaging of the prostate for the five years. In this paper we have described our experience regarding its value in the detection of prostatic diseases and precision of the transperineal biopsy under its guidance. Two hundred and seventy two transerctal prostatic ultrasonograms were received and the findings compared with the final pathological or clinical diagnosis. A high degree of accuracy was achieved in diagnosing benign prostatic hyperplasia. Transrectal ultrasonography proved invaluable in staging proven prostatic carcinomas but it was disappointing as a primary diagnostic tool for cancer with a high false positive and negative rates of 11.98% and 33.72% respectively. These finding are discussed in the light of other workers' results
