Patient Safety was the right of a patient who was receiving health care. A nurse was one of the health professionals in a hospital having a very important role in realizing Patient Safety. In realizing Patient Safety Panti Rahayu Yakkum Hospital of Purwodadi had involved the role of the nurses. In carrying out their role the nurses could support the protection of the patient’s rights. The nurses performed health care by conducting six Patient Safety goals that were based on professional standards, service standards and codes of conduct so that the Patient Safety would be realized.This research applied a socio-legal approach to having analytical-descriptive specifications. The data used were primary and secondary those were gathered by field and literature studies. The field study was conducted by having interviews to, among others, the Director of Panti Rahayu Yakkum Hospital of Purwodadi, Head of Room and Chairman of Patient Safety Committee, nurses and patients. The data were then qualitatively analyzed.The arrangement of nurses’ role in implementing Patient Safety and the patient’s rights protection was based on the Constitution of the Republic of Indonesia of 1945, Health Act, Hospital Act, Labor Act, and Nursing Act. These bases made the hospital obliged to implement Patient Safety. The regulations leading the hospital to provide Patient Safety were Health Minister’s Regulation Nr. 11 of 2017 on Patient Safety, Statute of Panti Rahayu Yakkum Hospital of Purwodadi (Hospital ByLaws), Internal Nursing Staff ByLaws. In implementing Patient Safety Panti Rahayu Yakkum Hospital of Purwodadi had established a committee of Patient Safety team consisting of the nurses that would implement six targets of Patient Safety. Actually, the Patient Safety implementation had been accomplished but it had not been optimally done because of several factors, namely juridical, social and technical factors. The supporting factors in influencing the implementation were, among others, the establishment of the Patient Safety team that had been well socialized whereas the inhibiting factors were limitedness of time and funds to train the nurses besides the operational procedure standard (OPS) that was still less understood. Lack of learning motivation among the nurses also appeared as an inhibiting factor in understanding Patient Safety implementation.

Adults with congenital heart disease (CHD) have become a rapidly expanding group of complex patients requiring multidisciplinary care in specialty centers by those trained in CHD. They represent one of the most challenging subgroups of patients with pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) due to the presence of structural heart disease with or without coexisting cyanosis and its complications. The primary focus of attention for these patients is the lungs, whose vascular system is affected by shunt flow, or is also congenitally malformed, or has been altered by surgical procedures. When PAH develops, it affects physical exercise tolerance, travel to high altitudes, pregnancy, operability, and anesthesia (myocardial failure due to pulmonary hypertensive crisis), and thus general morbidity and mortality in this special patient group.

ObjectiveTo evaluate the effectiveness of a multidisciplinary treatment approach for adolescents experiencing prolonged recovery from concussion.BackgroundAlthough most youth recover from a concussion within 2–4 weeks, an estimated 14% of those injured remain symptomatic at 3 months post-injury. For those experiencing protracted recovery, the 2017 Berlin Concussion in Sport Group Consensus Statement recommends multidisciplinary collaborative care. While recent research utilizing progressive aerobic exercise among adolescents with concussion has shown promise for reduction in symptom burden, limited evidence exists for multidisciplinary care.Design/MethodsParticipants included 39 adolescents (77% female, 87% Caucasian) referred to the Nationwide Children’s Hospital Complex Concussion Clinic. All patients included had persistent (≥30 days post-injury) post-concussion symptoms (SCAT-5 symptom score ≥10). The sample ranged in age from 11-20 years (mean = 15.0, SD = 2.0) and median days since injury was 60 (range = 30–161). 31% of participants had a history of one or more previous concussions, 54% had a history of anxiety or depression, and 26% had a history of ADHD or a learning disorder. The multidisciplinary treatment included sessions with Neurology (mean number of sessions = 2.5), Neuropsychology (mean = 2.1), Physical Therapy (mean = 3.6), and Athletic Training sessions involving graded physical exercise (mean = 4.0), with an average treatment duration of 57.4 days. SCAT-5 symptom rating scales were completed at each visit.ResultsSymptom burden among participants significantly decreased between their initial visit (mean = 49.6, SD = 19.2) and final exercise session (mean = 12.8, SD = 14.1); p < 0.001. Gender did not predict symptom ratings at treatment onset, though males (mean = 5.6) had significantly lower symptom scores than females (mean = 15.0) at their final visit (p < 0.05). Demographic factors and premorbid psychological history did not predict rate of symptom improvement.ConclusionsHigh rates of premorbid psychological problems are evident in children referred for treatment of PCS. Multidisciplinary care involving graded aerobic exercise and psychological intervention shows promise, though specific factors associated with treatment response remain to be elucidated.

Abstract With the growing incidence of new cases and the increasing prevalence of patients living longer with spine metastasis, a methodological approach to the management of patients with recurrent or progressive disease is increasing in relevance and importance in clinical practice. As a result, disease management has evolved in these patients using advanced surgical and radiotherapy technologies. Five key goals in the management of patients with spine metastases include providing pain relief, controlling metastatic disease at the treated site, improving neurologic deficits, maintaining or improving functional status, and minimizing further mechanical instability. The focus of this review is on advanced reirradiation techniques, given that the majority of patients will be treated with upfront conventional radiotherapy and further treatment on progression is often limited by the cumulative tolerance of nearby organs at risk. This review will also discuss novel surgical approaches such as separation surgery, minimally invasive percutaneous instrumentation, and laser interstitial thermal therapy, which is increasingly being coupled with spine reirradiation to maximize outcomes in this patient population. Lastly, given the complexities of managing recurrent spinal disease, this review emphasizes the importance of multidisciplinary care from neurosurgery, radiation oncology, medical oncology, neuro-oncology, rehabilitation medicine, and palliative care.
