Demand For Health

The high demand for health care workers in Germany creates opportunities for foreigners to work in Germany, including doctors from Indonesia. The difference in cultural context constructs different meanings toward factors of job stress. This study aimed to compare the factors of job stress among doctors in Indonesia and Indonesia's doctors in Germany.  KFZA (Kurz-Fragebogen zur Arbeitsanalyse) or Short Questionnaire for Job Analysis is utilized to measure job stress. As many as 12 doctors in Indonesia and 8 Indonesia's doctors in Germany became the participants. As a result, job stress among the two groups triggered by the lack of information and the low opportunity for consultation support. In addition to those factors, job stress among doctors in Indonesia is also triggered by lack of opportunities for comprehensive work, low independence for planning, organizing and decision making, lack of internal social support, poor collaborative work climate, and unsatisfactory organization services.

Purpose: Examine the associations of occupational and leisure-time physical activity with job stress, burnout, and well-being among healthcare industry workers. Design: Quantitative; cross-sectional. Setting: Healthcare Industry. Sample: US Amazon Mechanical Turk participants (n = 550) employed in the healthcare industry, worked 35 hours or more per week, had ≥ 1 supervisor and ≥ 1 co-worker, and were ≥ 18 years old. Measures: Self-reported measures of occupational physical activity (OPA) and leisure-time physical activity (LTPA), employee well-being, job stress, and burnout operationalized as exhaustion and disengagement. Analysis: Associations between OPA and LTPA with employee well-being, job stress, exhaustion and disengagement were assessed with separate multiple linear regression models. Results: OPA had positive significant associations with job stress (β = 0.10, P value = .003) and exhaustion (β = 0.21, P value < .0001). No significant associations were found between OPA with other psychological outcomes. A significant inverse association was found between LTPA and exhaustion (β = −0.04, P value = .007). Conclusion: In a sample of U.S. health care workers, and consistent with prior epidemiological studies, greater LTPA was associated with lower feelings of exhaustion. In contrast, health care workers with greater OPA reported higher perceptions of job stress and exhaustion. The findings underscore the need for more research aimed at understanding relationships between OPA and psychological health among healthcare workers.

The Difference

Abstract Proper training on the preventive measures against COVID-19 among health-care workers is crucial for mitigating the spread of viral infection. The present study evaluated the efficacy of a brief web-based module on the practice of hand hygiene and respiratory etiquette among respective health-care workers. A comparative study was conducted with a total of 500 participants. A self-reported questionnaire was used for both pre- and post-intervention evaluation. The post-intervention assessment was conducted 1–2 weeks following the intervention. The difference in the practice of hand hygiene and respiratory etiquettes during work hours was recorded. We found that the intervention resulted in an evident difference in the use of alcohol-based hand sanitizer by the participating doctors before examining the patient. Interns showed a much higher propensity to wash their hands for at least 20 s, relative to other health-care workers. The difference between pre- and post-intervention handwashing for &gt;5 times/day was 6.5% in females and 4.5% in males. In short, the study was able to demonstrate that a web-based health education module is an effective tool for the education and promotion of preventative measures in hospital setups, which may ultimately aid in halting the spread of COVID-19 among health-care workers.

Abstract Background One of the biggest concerns regarding the COVID-19 pandemic is the extreme demand for health care workers and health systems. Medical students possess a range of skills and attributes that can help the declining workforce. This paper aims to provide an overview of the roles medical students have taken during this pandemic worldwide and provide insights to work towards establishing safe, efficient and useful roles during the progression of the pandemic. Methods A comprehensive questionnaire was distributed through social media using platforms and networks that involved medical students worldwide. Analysis of the data included both quantitative and qualitative methods. Qualitative data of multiple-choice questions was done to calculate the percentage of countries in which students played a role during the pandemic, whether they were paid, and if medical education was suspended. Furthermore, we identified the different roles medical students had across the globe. Qualitative analysis was performed on blank space questions to gain more insights regarding the roles of medical students across different countries. Results 144 responses were reported from 47 countries and 81 different universities, representing all United Nations Regions. The role of medical students was most reported as providing medical assistance, namely in 61.7% of countries. Other reported roles were helplines, no role, logistical assistance, testing, baby-sitting, awareness, triage and supporting a physician at home. In 7.5% of the countries where students are performing services, it is reported these are paid services. In 45.7% (n = 37) of all universities, medical schools have been suspended with no reported (online) alternative for classes or exams. Conclusions Our results show that medical students have the capability to contribute in many different ways during this pandemic. In most cases, roles are unpaid and many reports show that there is no clarity on whether their roles will count towards their educational credits. It is crucial to develop adequate protocols and statements, so medical students can contribute to the best of their capacity and in a safe, ethical and healthy manner during the pandemic, for which additional research and collaboration between institutions is needed.

The Difference

Abstract Aim We conducted a systematic review and meta-analysis to analyse gender differences in COVID-19 vaccination intentions. Subject and methods PubMed, Web of Science and PsycInfo were searched (November 2020 to January 2021) for studies reporting absolute frequencies of COVID-19 vaccination intentions by gender. Averaged odds ratios comparing vaccination intentions among men and women were computed. Descriptive analyses of the studies were reported. Results Sixty studies were included in the review and data from 46 studies (n = 141,550) were available for meta-analysis. A majority (58%) of papers reported men to have higher intentions to get vaccinated against COVID-19. Meta-analytic calculations showed that significantly fewer women stated that they would get vaccinated than men, OR 1.41 (95% CI 1.28 to 1.55). This effect was evident in several countries, and the difference was bigger in samples of health care workers than in unspecified general population samples. Conclusion This systematic review and meta-analysis found lower vaccination intentions among women than men. This difference is discussed in the light of recent data on actual vaccination rates in different countries.
