Background: Preparing for JCI accreditation is a complex task. The work has to be based on JCI standards and requirements and usually lasts for two years. Patient safety is considered a fundamental principle of excellence in healthcare. However, the International Patient Safety Goals (IPSG) are considered as the most important chapter in the Joint Commission International standards and staff compliance is extremely required. Purpose: The purpose of the study is to assess the compliance of healthcare providers to the JCI Patient Safety Goals during the pre and post JCIA survey period (2015-2016) and to develop a model to assist healthcare providers to have better compliance with the JCI standards. 2015 represents the period within 2 years post accreditation and 2016 represents the period of one-year pre-accreditation. Methods: This is a descriptive, cross-sectional study. Two convenience samples from two governmental hospitals in the United Arab Emirates. The participants were selected at two points of time (2015 and 2016). The sample consisted of nurses, doctors and other healthcare providers who were questioned and observed to check their compliance to JCI Patient Safety Goals. Results: In terms of IPSG survey, the results reflected a decline in healthcare providers’ awareness post-JCIA survey from mean of (88.48) to (76.48), with (p< 0.001). Regarding health care providers’ compliance to IPSG documentation in patients’ files, the mean of compliance decreased from (M=94.6) to (M=84.39) post JCIA survey, (p< 0.001). Moreover, healthcare provider’s adherence to hospital policies related to JCI safety goals declined from (M= 100) pre JCIA to (M=45) post JCIA with (p< 0.001). Thus, the overall compliance and knowledge to JCI safety goals shows significant decline during the period of post survey (2015) compared to pre-survey (2016). Conclusion and Recommendations: The study found increase in compliance and adherence to International Patient Safety Goals standards prior to the accreditation surveys and with a marked decline in compliance and knowledge post accreditation. The author suggested a model of recommendations that emphasizes on the need for unannounced surveys by JCI after the accreditation and reaccreditation to ensure that compliance is not just for the purpose of the accreditation but is embedded in the daily routine and culture of the organization. It is extremely important to change from a survey preparation approach to continual readiness.

Abstract Background: Person-centered maternity care is respectful and responsive care to individual women’s preferences, needs, and values and ensuring that their values guide all clinical decisions during childbirth. It is recognized as a key dimension of the quality of maternity care that increases client satisfaction and institutional delivery. However, little research has been conducted about person-centered maternity care in Ethiopia. Objective: The aim of this study was to assess the status of person-centered maternity care and associated factors among mothers who gave birth at selected public hospitals in Addis Ababa city, Addis Ababa, Ethiopia, 2021.Method: A facility-based cross-sectional study was conducted at selected public hospitals in Addis Ababa city. A semi-structured questionnaire was used to collect data from post-natal mothers selected by systematic random sampling. The data was coded and entered using Epi-data version 4.6 and analyzed using SPSS version 25. Bivariate and multivariable linear regression analysis was used to identify factors associated with person-centered maternity care. The strength of association between independent and dependent variables was reported by using unstandardized β at 95% CI and p-value < 0.05 were considered statistically significant.Results: In this study 384 mothers were participated with a response rate of 99.2%. The overall prevalence of person-centered maternity care was 65.8%. Respondents who had no ANC follow-up (β= -5.39, 95% CI: -10.52, -0.26), <4 ANC follow up (β= -3.99, 95% CI: -6.63, -1.36), night time delivery (β= -3.95, 95% CI: -5.91, -1.98) and complications during delivery (β= -3.18, 95% CI: -6.01, -0.35) were factors significantly associated with person-centered maternity care.Conclusion and Recommendations: The finding of this study showed that the proportion of person-centered maternity care among mothers who gave birth in public hospitals of Addis Ababa was high as compared to previous studies. The factors affecting person-centered maternity care are manageable to interventions. Therefore, Health care providers need to provide person-centered maternity care for all mothers.

Abstract Background These days, engaging at sufficient regular physical activity strongly recommended for good health and physical functioning. Physical activity can increase the self-confidence of the health professionals and they would become fit for daily activities with patients. Knowing the level of physical activity can help health care professionals to plan for physical activity programs. This study aimed to measure the level of physical activity and associated factors among adult health professionals at Tirunesh Beijing general hospital.Objective The aim of this study was to assess the level of physical activity and associated factors among health care workers in Ethiopia, 2019.Methods Institution based cross-sectional study conducted level of physical activity and associated factors among health care workers in Ethiopia, 2019. Two hundred nighty seven adult health professionals were participated, which was a 97.4% response rate. The global physical activity questionnaire used to measure the level of physical activity. Descriptive statistics and binary logistic regression analyses was done to affirm the variables characteristics. A predictor variable with a p-value of less than 0.2 exported to multivariate analysis. During multivariate analysis, statistical significance declared at a p-value of < 0.05.Results In general, the majority of the study participants, 89.2% (95% CI: 85.9-92.6) were achieved recommended levels of physical activity. Regarding the intensity of the physical activity, the overall mean time score was 518.4 mints per week or 2352.6 MET/week. For moderate-intensity physical activity, 83.5% of the study participants were physically active, (≥150 minutes/week). In the case of vigorous activity, about 32.7% of the study participants were physically active and engaged in vigorous physical activity (≥75 minutes /week). The study participants, who had self-motivation for physical activity, had a BMI of less than 25 kg/m2 and aged < 40 years were physically active.Conclusions Health care providers’ habit of physical activity improved as compared with the previous studies. However, the current level of physical activity of health professionals is not adequate. Health care providers’ age, body mass index and self-motivation attribute to physical activity. The level of physical activity can increase by enhancing staff motivation towards physical activity.
