This study examined blood pressure levels of married women in relation to such work-related variables as work load, satisfaction with work, reported strain, and evaluated performance. The major findings were: (a) Differences in work load were unrelated to blood pressure levels. However, currently unemployed working women had lower levels. (b) Housewives reporting tension about housework and being critical of own performance had higher blood pressure. (c) Working wives with a strong commitment to the work role had higher blood pressure levels, as did those women who were relatively low on indicators of job achievement.

Abstract Health disparities may influence cardio-metabolic risk in women with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS). The magnitude and direction of differences in cardio-metabolic risk between Black and White women with PCOS remain uncertain due to inconsistent reports. We conducted a systematic review and meta-analysis to evaluate evidence on cardio-metabolic health disparities between Black and White women with PCOS in the US in response to the call for further delineation of these disparities by the International Evidence-based Guideline for the Assessment and Management of PCOS. Databases of MEDLINE, Web of Science, and Scopus were searched (January 1990 to September 2020) to identify observational studies documenting cardio-metabolic risk profile (glucoregulatory, lipid profile, anthropometric, blood pressure status) in Black and White women with PCOS. The primary outcome was fasting glucose. Further, cardiovascular events (stroke, coronary heart disease, heart failure) and mortality rate (cardiovascular death, total mortality) data were evaluated between groups. Studies on children (< 17 yrs.), pregnant or menopausal-aged (> 50 yrs.) women were excluded. Data were pooled by random-effects models and expressed as weighted mean differences and 95% confidence intervals. Eleven studies (n = 2,821; [626 Black; 2,195 White women]) evaluated cardio-metabolic risk profile, yet none reported on cardiovascular events/mortality rate. Black women had comparable fasting glucose (-0.61 [-1.69, 2.92] mg/dL; I2 = 62.5%), yet exhibited increased fasting insulin (6.76 [4.97, 8.56] µIU/mL; I2 = 59.0%); homeostatic model assessment of insulin resistance (HOMA-IR; 1.47 [0.86, 2.08]; I2 = 83.2%); systolic blood pressure (SBP, 3.32 [0.34, 6.30] mmHg; I2 = 52.0%) and decreased triglyceride (-32.56 [-54.69, -10.42] mg/dL; I2 = 68.0%) when compared to White women with PCOS (All: P ≤ 0.03). Groups were comparable in total cholesterol, low-density lipoprotein cholesterol, high-density lipoprotein cholesterol, and diastolic blood pressure (All: P ≥ 0.06). Paucity in the number of studies that evaluated cardiovascular events or mortality limits any conclusions about potential disparities. Overall, Black women with PCOS have a greater tendency for an adverse cardio-metabolic risk profile (increased insulin, HOMA-IR, SBP), despite lower triglyceride levels than White women. Our observations support consideration of these disparities for diagnostic, monitoring, management, and public health practices, and for future guideline recommendations. Heterogeneity among studies warrants future research to address the relative contributions of biological, environmental, socioeconomic, and healthcare factors to the observed disparities. Longitudinal research should address cardiovascular events and mortality rate in Black women with PCOS (www.crd.york.ac.uk/PROSPERO ID, CRD42020183485).

Budaya keselamatan merupakan kunci untuk mendukung tercapainya peningkatan keselamatan dan kesehatan kerja dalam organisasi. Upaya membangun budaya keselamatan merupakan langkah pertama dalam mencapai keselamatan pasien. Terdapat beberapa faktor yang berkontribusi dalam perkembangan budaya keselamatan yaitu; sikap baik individu maupun organisasi, kepemimpinan, kerja tim, komunikasi dan beban kerja. Penelitian ini bertujuan mengetahui faktor determinan yang berhubungan dengan terciptanya budaya keselamatan pasien di RS Pemerintah Kabupaten Kuningan. Teknik pengambilan sampel yang digunakan incidental sampling 88 orang perawat pelaksana. Rancangan penelitian menggunakan survey analitik dengan pendekatan cross sectional, uji hipotesis digunakan Chi Square dan regresi logistik ganda. Hasil penelitian menunjukan terdapat pengaruh yang signifikan antara persepsi terhadap manajemen (p 0.0005, odd rasio 21.3), dukungan tim kerja (p 0.0005, odd rasio 13.34), stress kerja (p 0.006, odd rasio 3.94), kepuasan kerja (nilai p 0. 002) dengan budaya keselamatan pasien. Tidak terdapat pengaruh yang signifikan kondisi kerja dengan budaya keselamatan pasien dengan nilai p 0.507. Berdasarkan analisis multuvariat diperoleh persepsi terhadap manajemen menjadi factor determinan dengan nilai p 0.000 < α 0.05. Simpulan; unsur pimpinan memiliki pengaruh yang signifikan dalam menciptakan budaya keselamatan pasien. Pimpinan memiliki kewenangan dalam menerapkan system yang berlaku dalam organisasi, oleh karena itu gaya kepemimpinan, teknik komunikasi serta kemampuan manajerial merupakan suatu hal yang sangat perlu diperhatikan dalam menciptakan atmosfer kerja yang kondusif sebagai upaya terciptanya budaya keselamatan pasien. Berdasarkan hasil penelitian bahwa model kepemimpinan transformasional merupakan model yang sesuai diterapkan untuk meningkatkan budaya keselamatan pasien, pelatihan keterampilan komunikasi efektif serta pengembangan model pendidikan antar profesi sebagai upaya peningkatan kemampuan kolaborasi.Kata kunci:Budaya keselamatan pasien, stress kerja, kepuasan kerja.Determinant factors that are Influencing Patient Safety Culture in a Government-owned Hospitals in Kuningan Regency AbstractSafety culture is a key to support the achievement of occupational health and safety in an organization. An effort to build safety culture is the first step in ensuring patient safety. There are some factors that contribute in the development of safety culture, namely, individual and organizational attitude, leadership, team work, communication, and work load. This study aimed to identify the determinant factors that are related to achievement of patient safety culture in a government-owned hospital in Kuningan Regency. Eighty eight samples of nurses were recruited using incidental sampling technique. The research design was using cross sectional study, the hypothesis testing were using Chi Square and multiple logistic regression. The results showed that there were significant influenced between perception towards management (p= 0.0005, odd rasio 21.3), team work support (p= 0.0005, odd rasio 13.34), work-related stress (p= 0.006, odd rasio 3.94), work satisfaction (p= 0. 002) with patient safety culture. There was not significant influenced between work condition and patient safety (p= 0.507). The multivariate analysis showed that perception towards management was the determinant factor for patient safety culture (p 0.000 < α 0.05). In conclusion, leaders have significant influence in creating patient safety culture. Leaders have authority to implement systems in the organization. Therefore, leadership style, communication technique, and managerial ability are important in order to create a conducive atmosphere for developing patient safety culture. As recommendation, transformational leadership is a model that is appropriate to be applied in order to increase patient safety culture, trainings of effective communication and inter-professional education model are also needed to increase the collaboration skills among health professionals.Keywords:Patient safety culture, work-related stress, work satisfaction.
