ABSTRACT
With the arrival of the COVID-19 pandemic, health systems were forced to adapt their intra- and extra-hospital processes through mechanisms of articulation, integration, and coordination between the organic units of public and private institutions, configuring a single national health system. In this sense, the objective of this study was to determine whether there is a relationship between clinical management for the hospitalization of patients with COVID-19 and resolution capacity functionality in a Health Network. A hypothetical deductive method was used with a descriptive-correlational analysis with a cross-sectional design. The sample consisted of 150 health care workers (100%). The selection was conducted in 3 level I-4 facilities of the Contumaza-Cajamarca Health Network, Peru, 2021. The dependent variable was resolution capacity functionality, and the independent variable was clinical management for the hospitalization of patients with COVID-19. The results suggest an average level both in clinical management and in resolution capacity functionality and the transport dimension in 45.3%, extending a significant relationship (p < 0.05) with Rho = 0.755 and Rho = 0.251, respectively.
ABSTRACT
The impact of the COVID-19 pandemic directly affected labor dynamics, especially the motivation of health personnel. In this context, the objective of this study was to determine the behavior of the relationship between motivation and job performance of the staff of the Regional Health Management - La Libertad during COVID-19. We use the descriptive correlational analysis with a quantitative method and cross-sectional design in the methodology. For this study, a sample of 106 workers (100%) was identified in which two types of survey instruments were used. The first is for job motivation, and the second is for job performance and its dimensions, such as cognitive, affective, and psychomotor skills. The Spearman correlation coefficient was used to determine the relationship between job motivation versus job performance and its dimensions. The results affirm a significant relationship (p < 0.05) between the motivation and performance variables with their dimensions. Furthermore, it was found that there is a moderate positive correlation with Rho = 0.633. Most of the workers (Nº = 52, 49.1%) during the COVID-19 pandemic presented a low-level behavior in motivation and the psychomotor capability of the job performance of the Regional Health Management - La Libertad. © 2023, The Author(s), under exclusive license to Springer Nature Switzerland AG.
ABSTRACT
The objective of this study was to determine the relationship between the quality of telemedicine service in cardiology and user satisfaction during COVID-19 at the Victor Lazarte Echegaray Hospital - Trujillo, Peru, in 2021. The research methodology used is the hypothetical method deductive with a non-experimental quantitative approach and descriptive correlational analysis with cross-sectional design. For this study, a total of n = 96 patients (100%) were surveyed and received care in the telemedicine services in cardiology. Two types of survey instruments were used, the first SERVQHOS is to evaluate the quality of the telemedicine service, and the Second SERVQUAL is for user satisfaction and its dimensions such as reliability, responsiveness, security, empathy, and tangibility. We used the Spearman correlation coefficient to determine the association between telemedicine service quality versus user satisfaction and its dimensions. The results show a significant relationship of p < 0.05 between the two variables and a moderate positive correlation of Rho = 0.525. In addition, most of the patients surveyed (41.7%) during the COVID-19 pandemic indicated that the telemedicine service is regular and safety is acceptable. © 2023, The Author(s), under exclusive license to Springer Nature Switzerland AG.
ABSTRACT
The objective of this study was to determine the relationship between job motivation and the mental health status of care personal of the District Hospital of Jerusalén - La Esperanza during COVID-19. The methodology used was descriptive correlational analysis with a hypothetical deductive method with a non-experimental quantitative approach and cross-sectional design. A total of 154 health care workers participated. Two types of surveys were considered;the first was for job motivation (JM) and the second for general mental health (PHQ-9) and its dimensions such as General Anxiety Disorder (GAD-7), Insomnia Severity (ISI), and Impact of Events Reviewed (IES-R). The Spearman correlation coefficient was used to determine the association between the two variables and their dimensions. In the results, we observed that most of the workers (56.5%) reflect a medium job motivation and a Mild level of depression (Rho = 0.872, p < 0.000). In addition, we observed that 41.6% of the workers reflect a medium job motivation and a mild general anxiety disorder (Rho = 0557, p < 0.000). © 2023, The Author(s), under exclusive license to Springer Nature Switzerland AG.
ABSTRACT
The objective of the research was to carry out a bibliographic review in online databases such as Pubmed, Scopus, Medline and Elsevier of medicinal plants with antiviral potential mainly related to respiratory tract infections and that may be useful against COVID-19 infections. The studies found refer to the great potential that certain medicinal plants have against the influenza virus and others that could serve as a basis in this pandemic. © 2021, Sociedad Europea De Medicina Naturista Clasica.
