A unique feature of most pediatric healthcare facilities is that they provide opportunities for both inpatients and outpatients to participate in play with developmentally appropriate toys during their medical care. Reasons for play in hospitalized pediatric patients may include providing mechanisms to educate children about their particular medical conditions, providing stress reduction during frightening procedures, assisting in the development of coping strategies, and attempting to maintain a sense of normalcy during long hospitalizations. Although toys and playroom environments provide a vital psychosocial and quality-of-life function, however, they are also known to contribute to the transmission of infectious agents. This chapter provides guidance on minimizing transmission of pathogens in hospital-based playrooms and classrooms: pathogens that are commonly found in pediatric healthcare facilities. This chapter also discusses the transmission challenges with pet therapy programs for children, and suggests approaches for safe implementation of these programs. Sample policies are included.

Patterns of obtaining medical care for children from broken, lower socioeconomic families did not differ significantly from that of intact families. Many separated and divorced mothers handled their children's health problems adequately in spite of economic and transportation problems. Stability and intactness are not synonymous. The broken family may actually be quite stable due to hidden mates, guidance from appropriate social agencies and social norms which assign medical nursing care to the mother. This parental coping mechanism may be developed by long experience in dealing with the usual problems of a disadvantaged population: unemployment, desertion, poor housing and frequently, open violence.

Employment turnover among doctors at healthcare facilities negatively influences healthcare provision, facility management, and staffing. To support institutional and policy change, turnover intentions and its related factors of employed doctors were evaluated with 2016 Korean Physician Survey (n = 2719) in Korea. About 30.5% intended a turnover within two years. The significant related factors by multivariate analysis via binary logistic regression were gender, age, specialty, type of facility, length of current employment, usual number of hours worked per week, and income satisfaction. The odds of reporting turnover intention are 46.2% greater for males than females and 55.5% greater for aged 30–39 than aged 40–49. The odds are 28.9% smaller for support medicine than internal medicine. The odds are 224.2% greater for those employed at tertiary hospitals than those employed at clinics, but the odds are 34.0% smaller for convalescent hospital employment than general hospital employment. The number of years of current employment and income satisfaction each negatively, and the number of hours worked per week positively, related to turnover intentions. Fair compensation and performance evaluation systems and reasonable working hours should be guaranteed at healthcare facilities to reduce turnover, and institutional and policy measures should be implemented to improve workplace environmental quality.

Relevance. The available unique experience of elimination of medical and sanitary consequences of emergency situations of natural, technogenic and social nature proves that the effectiveness of rendering medical care within or on the border of emergency area depends on timely arrival and actions of non-staff healthcare professionals of the All-Russian service for disaster medicine – crews for specialized medical care, physician-and-nurse crews. Directly during training and practical activities non-staff healthcare professionals face problematic issues affecting their readiness and quick response.Intention. To define the most significant problematic issues influencing work of non-staff healthcare professionals of the Service for disaster medicine of the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation on elimination of medical and sanitary consequences of emergency situations.Methodology. Content analysis of the facts and trends in the documents regulating activities of non-staff healthcare professionals of emergency formations was performed. Non-staff physicians were surveyed on problematic issues of training, practical activities and professional competence and importance of these issues ranked: “not important” – 1, “important” – 2, “very important” – 3 with assigning respective points.Results and Discussion. In the military-medical organizations of the central subordination, including the Kirov Military Medical Academy, emergency formations of Service for disaster medicine of the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation exist to strengthen (special-purpose) medical groups and medical institutions responsible for admitting casualties from emergency areas. An “average portrait” of a non-staff healthcare professional was as follows: male surgeon of 38.7±1.1 after a clinical internship, with an academic degree and experience in subject domain of 13.4 years. He has served (worked) at the Kirov Military Medical Academy and carried out functional duties on a constant basis, with experience more than two years as a part of physician-nurse or specialized medical care (thoracoabdominal) crew, with sufficient experience in elimination of medical and sanitary consequences of emergencies. At the same time during training and practical activities he faces a number of issues, such as labor relations and quality assessment of performance during elimination of medical and sanitary consequences of emergency situations, unsatisfactory resource and organizational support and also low readiness of all the non-staff members of the crew.Conclusion. Besides problematic issues of labor relations in emergency formations, the factors influencing training, performance and professional competence of non-staff healthcare professionals were defined, i.e. special equipment for medical evacuation (sanitary aviation); unsatisfactory facilities intended for elimination of medical and sanitary consequences of emergencies; medical equipment in emergency areas. As a result of the analysis, all the problematic issues were limited to 3 fundamental internal (hidden) factors influencing training, performance and professional competence of healthcare professionals at the Kirov Military Medical Academy: “Basic resources” (22.05%), “Shortcomings in daily activities” (11.9%), “Readiness for actions” (10.4%).
