Background: Due to limited resources, efficiency is very important to maximize resources for hospitals. Time-Driven Activity-Based Costing estimates costs and provides valuable information to increase efficiency. Therefore, the cost of COVID-19 in the hospitals affiliated with Kashan University of Medical Sciences was investigated using this method. Method: In this cross-sectional and retrospective study, the statistical population included all patients (n = 3129) with COVID-19 hospitalized in the Seyed Al-Shohada hospital (88 beds) and Shagid Beheshti hospital (700 beds) selected via census method during March and April 2020. Data collection was conducted through review of litreture (library method field); and review of accounting documents, direct observation of activities related to the treatment of patients, interviews with top managers for timing of receiving services by patients (field method). The descriptive statistics including means and frequency tables was reported and time-driven activity-based costing was conducted. Data analyses were performed using Excel software. Results: Findings showed that the cost of one bed night for COVID19 patients was 22,866,669 Rials in Shahid Beheshti hospital and 30,554,405 Rials in Seyed Al-Shohada hospital and was 23,672,447 Rials for both hospitals in total. The cost of treatment of COVID19 by time-driving costing method was higher than the tariff approved by the Supreme Insurance Council. Conclusion: Due to the difference between the cost of treatment of COVID-19 and the tariffs, it is necessary to calculate the bed night of these patients based on the tariffs of special wards. Moreover, due to the high cost of these patients, it is necessary to make appropriate policies for allocating beds in the hospitals affiliated to the University of Medical Sciences.

Background: Error communication includes both reporting errors to superiors and disclosing their consequences to patients and their families. It significantly contributes to error prevention and safety improvement. Yet, some errors in intensive care units are not communicated. Objectives: The aim of the present study was to explore factors affecting error communication in intensive care units. Design and participants: This qualitative study was conducted in 2019. Participants were 17 critical care nurses purposively recruited from the intensive care units of 2 public hospitals affiliated to Iran University of Medical Sciences, Tehran, Iran. Data were collected through in-depth semi-structured interviews and were analyzed through the conventional content analysis method proposed by Graneheim and Lundman. Ethical considerations: The Ethics Committee of Iran University of Medical Sciences, Tehran, Iran approved the study (code: IR.IUMS. REC.1397.792). Participants were informed about the study aim and methods and were ensured of data confidentiality. They were free to withdraw from the study at will. Written informed consent was obtained from all of them. Findings: Factors affecting error communication in intensive care units fell into four main categories, namely the culture of error communication (subcategories were error communication organizational atmosphere, clarity of processes and guidelines, managerial support for nurses, and learning organization), the consequences of errors for nurses and nursing (subcategories were fear over being stigmatized as incompetent, fear over punishment, and fear over negative judgments about nursing), the consequences of errors for patients (subcategories were monitoring the effects of errors on patients and predicting the effects of errors on patients), and ethical and professional characteristics (subcategories were ethical characteristics and inter-professional relationships). Discussion: The results of this study show many factors affect error communication, some facilitate and some prohibit it. Organizational factors such as the culture of error communication and the consequences of error communication for the nurse and the patient, as well as individual and professional characteristics, including ethical characteristics and interprofessional relationship, influence this process. Conclusion: Errors confront nurses with ethical challenges and make them assess error consequences and then, communicate or hide them based on the results of their assessments. Health authorities can promote nurses’ error communication through creating a supportive environment for them, developing clear error communication processes and guidelines, and providing them with education about the principles of ethical practice.

Abstract Research over the past twenty years has shown that the attitudes of health care workers and students towards people who are suffering from schizophrenia have become more negative. The aim of our study was to investigate the attitudes of medical and pharmacy students towards patients with schizophrenia and explore the differences in attitudes between study groups and students in different years. Materials and methods: Second- and fifth-year medical and pharmacy students from the Faculty of Medical Sciences at the University of Kragujevac were included in an observational, prospective, cross-sectional study. The sample consisted of 113 students from the pharmacy and medical schools who were chosen via random sampling. The students completed a two-part questionnaire. Th e first part contained questions about sociodemographic characteristics, whereas the second part was a translated version of the Mental Illness: Clinician’s Attitudes (MICA) v4 scale. Results: There is a statistically significant difference (р<0.05) in the attitudes towards people with schizophrenia between second- and fifth-year medical and pharmacy students (with lower scores in both groups in fifth-year students). Of the total number of students who had lower summed scores on the Likert scale, 51.3% had previously finished medical high school, whereas 28.3% had previously finished regular high school. Conclusion: Our results showed a statistically significant difference in attitudes towards people with schizophrenia between second- and fifth-year students as well as a difference related to previous high school education. This stresses the importance of levels of knowledge about schizophrenia to reducing the stigmatization of patients who suffer from this disorder.
