Organizational Readiness To Change

Background: In its first 18 months, the VA National Telestroke Program (NTSP) conducted 800 consults at 30 sites. Data from staff at participating sites are collected in anonymous surveys. We aimed to determine factors associated with confidence in providing stroke care at these sites, and whether confidence is associated with performance on NTSP quality indicators. Methods: Surveys were sent to providers at participating sites at baseline (BL) and 6 - 12 months post-NTSP implementation (post-I). Survey questions included items about confidence providing stroke care and items from the Organizational Readiness to Change Assessment (ORCA). Confidence (0-10) was dichotomized into fully confident (mean score of 10) and not fully confident sites (mean <10). ORCA score was averaged by site. Covariates included site performance, volume, and time in the NTSP. We used a Kruskal Wallis analysis to examine the association of BL variables with post-I confidence, and a Pearson correlation test to examine the association between performance indicators and confidence. Results: 16 sites, with 54 staff members total responding (57% nurses, 26% providers, 17% administrators/other), had BL and post-I data. Five sites were fully confident at the post-I assessment, the remaining 11 had mean confidence scores 8.32 - 9.5. Site confidence improved over time (mean 7.97 at BL vs. 9.44 post-I, p = 0.004), but confidence was not associated with site performance on any NTSP indicator. Higher ORCA scores were significantly associated with post-I confidence (mean ORCA 4.46 vs. 4.01, p=0.04). Fully confident sites also had shorter NTSP participation times (mean 5.40 months in the fully confident sites vs. 13.45, P=0.01). BL confidence, rurality, and consultation volume were not associated with post-I confidence. Periodic retraining was the most commonly suggested program addition. Conclusions: Organizational culture, but not performance or consult volume, is significantly associated with staff confidence in providing stroke care via telestroke. The finding that less confident sites have longer participation times suggests that planned retraining should be a part of telestroke programs to help sustain site confidence in providing stroke care.

The Impact

Background and Hypothesis: During the past two years, the Veteran Affairs’ National Telestroke Program (NTSP) has conducted 800 teleconsultations at 30 participating sites. Site perceptions of the NTSP are collected in surveys at the time of the program entry and 6-12 months later. This study aims to determine factors associated with the confidence in providing stroke care among staff at participating hospitals, and whether confidence is associated with site performance on program quality indicators. Experimental Design: Web-based surveys were sent to participating sites at baseline and post implementation. Survey questions pertained to a site’s confidence providing stroke care, organizational readiness to change (ORCA assessment), buy-in of clinical services, and the impact of the program. Individual responses were averaged at each site. Confidence was scored from zero to ten and was dichotomized into fully confident (10) and not fully confident sites (<10). Site performance on key indicators of program quality were obtained from the NTSP data. A Kruskal Wallis analysis examined the association of baseline variables with postimplementation confidence. Results: 54 individuals (57% nurses, 26% providers, and 7% administrators) from 16 sites had baseline and post-implementation data. Five sites were fully confident at the postimplementation assessment. The other 11 had confidence scores ranging from 8.32 to 9.5. Higher ORCA scores were significantly associated with post-implementation confidence (mean ORCA 12.2 vs. 6.8, p=0.04). Sites with longer NTSP participation were less likely to be fully confident, (mean 10.6 months vs. 3.8, P=0.01). Baseline confidence, rurality, and volume were not associated with post-implementation confidence, nor was post-implementation confidence associated with measurements of site performance. Conclusion: Higher ratings of site organizational culture was associated with higher postimplementation confidence in providing stroke care. This suggests that an individual site’s context is a larger driver of the confidence in program implementation than volume or program performance. In addition, the finding that sites with longer time spent in the NTSP had lower post-implementation confidence suggests sites may benefit from periodic retraining to sustain confidence in their ability to provide stroke care.

AbstractThis paper aims to examine how librarians construe organizational culture based on employees’ satisfaction, good leadership, and organizational support with knowledge sharing practices relationships. The quantitative research method, using a structured questionnaire comprised of three constructs of Organizational Culture (OC), including employees’ satisfaction, good leadership, and organizational support, and six constructs of Knowledge Sharing (KS) (innovation, collaboration, communication channel, trust, loyalty, and ethics), was considered as the most suitable for this study. Correlation research design and Pearson correlation test were used for examining the relationships between OC and KS with respect to academic librarians. The findings disclosed significant relationships between OC and KS among the study participants. Organizational support followed by good leadership style and employees’ satisfaction are the strong predictors of knowledge sharing practices in the context of this study. This study has some practical implications for academic library administrators to consider the role of effective organizational culture in promoting knowledge sharing practices among LIS professionals. This paper is the first attempt to explore the relationship between OC and KS in library perspective.

BACKGROUND፡ One of the most basic tools and strategies for developing new ideas and entrepreneurship is establishing the entrepreneurial culture in the organization. Thus, the purpose of this study was to examine the effect of organizational culture on entrepreneurship of district 1 teaching hospitals in Iran.METHOD: The study was applied in terms of purpose and descriptive-analytical of survey type in terms of nature that was conducted in 2019 on 946 staff members of district 1 teaching hospitals in Iran using census sampling method. The measurement tools used were standard questionnaires of Margaret Hill Entrepreneurship and Edgar Schein Organizational Culture. Pearson correlation coefficient was used to determine the relationship between organizational culture and organizational entrepreneurship. Partial least squares (PLS) was used for structural equation modeling (SEM) and analyzed in Smart pls2 software.RESULTS: The results showed that there is a significant direct relationship between the organizational culture and organizational entrepreneurship (r=0.94). Also, there was a relationship between the internal consistency component with organizational entrepreneurship (r=0.93), between the external compatibility component with organizational entrepreneurship (r=0.90). (p≤0.05)CONCLUSION: The results indicated a positive and significant relationship between organizational culture and its dimensions (internal consistency and external compatibility) with organizational entrepreneurship. Thus, making the decisions that concentrate on the organizational culture of the hospitals and taking steps to coordinate people's values and norms that promote organizational culture and enhance organizational entrepreneurship are recommended.

Factors Associated

The aim of this study was to identify the factors associated with school refusal behavior in primary school students. Student’s self-report and teacher’s measures were implemented; and students were recruited from 20 primary schools in six districts in Selangor, Malaysia. The survey was conducted at the end of school term in 2016, with a total of 915 students from Year 4 and Year 5 participating. The sample of students had been absent from school for more than 15% of school days in the current year. Pearson correlation shows a significant relationship between academic achievement and school satisfaction toward school refusal behavior. The findings of this study suggest that academic difficulties and dissatisfaction towards school environment could be the important risk factors for school refusal behavior. The present study underscores the importance of early detection and intervention as measures to reduce school refusal. Finally, the findings imply that the role of school factors should always be taken into account in connection with school refusal behaviour.

(1) Background: The appearance and progression of carious lesions represent a complex phenomenon of interactions of microbial factors (the action of bacteria on the tooth), of the factors related to the host, to the diet, and to the time factor. Which hasan influence on the rate of microbismof the oral cavity on the installation of carious disease? (2) Methods: In order to correctly assess the cariogenic risk of an individual, it is recommended to perform twoor more tests based on different principles (microbiological, clinical, epidemiological). The representative data series for the investigation were analyzed statistically and by applying the Pearson correlation test considering the coefficient of determination R for all pairs of data series. (3) Results: Salivary tests played animportant role in establishing control sessions, in carrying out prophylactic caries therapy, and establishing prognosis. The existence of a statistical associationwas confirmed between the prevalence of dental caries and the results of salivary tests for the study group. (4) Conclusions: The results of the saliva tests can be used in oral health promotion.

Abstract Oxidative stress appears when the amount of free radicals that are formed in a living organism exceed its spin-trapping ability. One of the most dangerous free radicals that are formed in the human body is the hydroxyl radical. It can alter several biomolecules, including the unsaturated fatty acids; this process is known as lipid peroxidation and can lead to cell necrosis and generation of several harmful byproducts including malondialdehyde, which serves also as a biomarker of oxidative stress. A new HPLC method with visible detection was developed for the detection of malondialdehyde in human serum and saliva samples. The method was verified in terms of specificity, linearity, limits of detection (0.35 ng/ml), limit of quantification (1.19 ng/ml), recovery (90.13±10.25 – 107.29±14.33) and precision (3.84±1.49% – 6.66±1.76%). An analysis time of only 1 minute was obtained and no interferences from the matrices were observed. Statistical analysis (Pearson correlation test) showed a moderate correlation (R = 0.5061, p = 0.0099) between serum and saliva concentrations (N = 25). The possibility of measuring salivary concentrations of malondialdehyde extents the applications of oxidative stress/lipid peroxidation estimations to categories of population unreachable before (pregnant women, small children, etc); repeated sample studies are also easier to make.

Purposes: When the evaluation of patellar instability is examined from the aspect of the conical-cylindrical anatomy of the tibia, metric measurement parameters such as the tuberositas tibia (TT)–trochlear groove (TG) and patellar tendon (PT) insertion–trochlear groove (TG) distances are not sufficient. We asked whether defined angular parameters reveal the rotational movement of the tuberositas tibia on the tibia shaft, additional to the metric parameters and there is a correlation between the metric and angular parameters. Methods: 19 patients with patellar instability and 22 patients without patellar instability were evaluated. For all patients, two angle and three length parameters were evaluated on the slices taken. Evaluations were made of the TT-TG, the midpoint of the PT insertion-TG distances, the anatomic midpoint of the dome of the TT-TG, the TG-PT angle, and the TG-dome angle (DA). The Pearson correlation test was used for the statistical analysis of correlations between groups. Results: A statistically significant increase was determined in the patellar instability group in the TG-DA and TG-PT angle values compared to the group without patellar instability ( p < 0.05). In both groups, a positive and strong correlation was determined between the TT-TG and the TG-PT and dome of the TT-TG distances, but no statistically significant correlation was determined between the tuberositas TT-TG and TG-PT angle and TG-DA. Conclusion: Metric parameters may not be sufficient alone in the evaluation of patellar instability. Metric parameters should be supported by additional angular parameters which reveal the rotational movement of the TT on the tibia shaft.

The construction sector exerts an exceptional impact on economic development all over the world. Adequate buildings and infrastructures made by the construction sector ensure that a country reaches certain targets like social development, industrialization, freight transportation, sustainable development, and urbanization. This study aims to determine the construction sector’s connectivity with other sectors through complex linkages that contribute immensely to the economy and gross domestic product (GDP). The data were collected from the Department of Statistics Malaysia and the World Bank from the year 1970 to 2019, and the Pearson correlation test, the cointegration test, and the Granger causality test were conducted. The vector error correction model (VECM) was created for short-term and long-term equilibrium analysis and impulse response function (IRF) was performed to study construction industry behavior. Afterwards, the forecasting was done for the year 2020 to 2050 of the Malaysian economy and GDP for the required sectors. It was revealed that some sectors, such as agriculture and services, have forward linkages while other sectors, such as manufacturing and mining, are independent of construction sector causality, which signifies the behavior of the contributing sectors when a recession occurs, hence generating significant revenue. The Malaysian economy is moving towards sustainable production with more emphasis on the construction sector. The outcome can be used as a benchmark by other countries to achieve sustainable development. The significance of this study is its usefulness for experts all over the world in terms of allocating resources to make the construction sector a sustainable sector after receiving a shock. A sustainable conceptual framework has been suggested for global application that shows the factors involved in the growth of the construction industry to ensure its sustainable development with time.
