Nurses’ knowledge regarding patient safety affects nurses’ behaviors in managing drugs related to patient safety. A preliminary study at Sultan Agung Islamic Hospital Semarang showed that nurses’ knowledge regarding patient safety was still low, especially about drug management, including storing, ordering/prescribing and recording, administering, and monitoring drugs. This study aimed to determine the correlation between nurses’ knowledge regarding patient safety and nurses’ behaviors in drug management among nurses in the inpatient units of Sultan Agung Islamic Hospital, Semarang. This research was an observational study with a cross-sectional design. The population was 178 nurses in the inpatient units of the specified hospital with a total sample of 123 respondents. The data were collected using a questionnaire and analyzed using Spearman’s rank correlation test. The results showed a correlation between nurses’ knowledge regarding patient safety and nurses’ behaviors in storing drugs (p=0.001 <ά=0.05), ordering and recording drugs (p=0.000 <ά=0.05), administering drugs (p=0.001 <ά=0.05), and monitoring drugs (p=0.003 <ά=0.05). It is expected that nurses evaluate the drug management implementation in the inpatient units so that patient safety is guaranteed as well as plan and manage their behaviors in managing drugs in the hospital to ensure patient safety.

In this study we used a quasiexperimental, cross-sectional design with six cohorts differing in phase of treatment (pretreatment, posttreatment, 2-year posttreatment) and treatment type (psychoanalysis and psychoanalytic psychotherapy) and investigated scores on 39 Rorschach-CS variables. The total sample consisted of 176 participants from four mental health care organizations in The Netherlands. We first examined pretreatment differences between patients entering psychoanalysis and patients entering psychoanalytic psychotherapy. The two treatment groups did not seem to differ substantially before treatment, with the exception of the level of ideational problems. Next, we studied the outcome of psychoanalysis and psychoanalytic psychotherapy by comparing the Rorschach-CS scores of the six groups of patients. In general, we found significant differences between pretreatment and posttreatment on a relatively small number of Rorschach-CS variables. More pre/post differences were found between the psychoanalytic psychotherapy groups than between the psychoanalysis groups. More research is needed to examine whether analyzing clusters of variables might reveal other results.

Background: Nursing educators should train nursing students to pursue physical, psychological, spiritual, and social health promotion. The purpose of this study was to explore relationships between nursing students’ meaning of life, positive beliefs, and well-being. Methods: A cross-sectional correlational study with a quantitative approach was adopted. Purposive sampling was used. A total of 170 nursing students voluntarily participated in this study. A 56-item questionnaire was used to examine nursing students’ meaning of life (1-25 items), positive beliefs (1-11 items), and well-being (1-20 items). The content validity index (CVI) of the study questionnaire was established as 0.95 by seven expert scholars. The reliability values for the three parts of the measure were as follows: meaning of life, Cronbach’s α 0.96; positive beliefs, Cronbach’s α 0.93; and well-being, Cronbach’s α 0.95. Percentages, frequencies, means, SDs, Kruskal-Wallis one-way analysis of variance by rank, Spearman’s rank correlation, one-way analysis of variance, Spearman’s rho correlation, and regression analysis were used for the data analysis. Results: Nursing students had the following mean scores: meaning of life with 4.02 (SD 0.56); positive beliefs with 3.92 (SD 0.62); and well-being with 3.95 (SD 0.57). The results indicate that for all nursing students, meaning of life was positively correlated with positive beliefs, r=0.83 (P<.01); similarly, all nursing students had positive beliefs that were positively correlated with meaning of life, r=0.83 (P<.01). In the results of the study, the nursing students’ background, meaning of life and positive beliefs explained 63% of the variance in well-being (Adjusted R2 squared =0.63, F=33.41, P<.001). Conclusions: Nursing students’ sense of meaning of life and positive beliefs may impact their well-being. Therefore, nursing educators can promote meaning of life and positive beliefs to nursing students as a way to increase their well-being for physical, psychological, spiritual, and social health promotion.

Summary Introduction: Hyperplasia of the pharyngeal tonsil is one of the main causes of mouth breathing, and accurate diagnosis of this alteration is important for proper therapeutic planning. Therefore, studies have been conducted in order to provide information regarding the procedures that can be used for the diagnosis of pharyngeal obstruction. Objective: To verify the correlation between nasopharyngoscopy and cephalometric examinations in the diagnosis of pharyngeal tonsil hyperplasia. Method: This was a cross-sectional, clinical, experimental, and quantitative study. Fifty-five children took part in this study, 30 girls and 25 boys, aged between 7 and 11 years. The children underwent nasofibropharyngoscopic and cephalometric evaluation to determine the grade of nasopharyngeal obstruction. The Spearman's rank correlation coefficient at the 5% significance level was used to verify the correlation between these exams. Results: In the nasopharyngoscopy evaluation, most children showed grade 2 and 3 hyperplasia of the pharyngeal tonsil, which was followed by grade 1. In the cephalometry assessment, most children showed grade 1 hyperplasia of the pharyngeal tonsil, which was followed by grade 2. A statistically significant regular positive correlation was observed between the exams. Conclusion: It was concluded that the evaluation of the pharyngeal tonsil hyperplasia could be carried out by fiber optic nasopharyngoscopy and cephalometry, as these examinations were regularly correlated. However, it was found that cephalometry tended to underestimate the size of the pharyngeal tonsil relative to nasopharyngoscopy.

Background: Patient satisfaction has always been an area of focus for hospitals, but gained particular importance due to the changes in the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid reimbursement policies. Hospital managers and clinicians interact with patients in different ways and have different perspectives on safety culture, yet little is known about how that impacts patient satisfaction.Objective: To examine how the agreement between clinicians and management perspectives on patient safety culture is related to patient satisfaction by employing cross-sectional design with linear regressions.Methods: Two data sets were used: 2012 Hospital Survey on Patient Safety Culture and 2012 Hospital Consumer Assessment of Healthcare Providers and Systems (HCAHPS). The dependent variables were: overall rating of the hospital experience and willingness to recommend a hospital. The independent variables were four safety culture domains: communication openness, feedback, and communication about errors, teamwork within units, and teamwork between units.Results: The results suggest that manager and clinician agreement on high levels of communication openness, feedback and communication about errors, teamwork between units, and teamwork across units were positively and significantly associated with overall patient satisfaction and willingness to recommend. Additionally, more favorable perceptions about patient safety culture by only clinicians yielded similar findings.Conclusions: For policymakers, measuring managers and clinicians’ perceptions on patient safety culture may provide a valuable indicator of patient satisfaction throughout the country. While managers are more likely to have the power to devote resources to patient safety initiatives, they may not adequately judge culture in their unit and should take into account the perspectives of clinicians who have a more frontline perspective.
