Use Of Social Media

Background: Social media have become a popular communication system that has transformed communication from the traditional to the Web-based model. Because social media use has no limitations to place and time, it is now used extensively at clinical facilities. Social media useis becoming a popular activity amongst students at Nursing Education Institutions (NEI) in South Africa. However, lack of accountability and unethical use of social media by nursing students in South Africa has been reported.Objectives: The aim of the study was to explore and describe the perceptions of nursing students regarding responsible use of social media.Methods: A qualitative, descriptive, explorative and contextual research design was used to explore and describe the perceptions of nursing students regarding the responsible use of social media. Twelve nursing students registered for the undergraduate nursing degree were purposely selected and interviewed individually using a semi-structured interview method.Results: The results of this research study demonstrate that nursing students use socialmedia irresponsibly. Nursing students experience blurred boundaries between personal and professional lines and lack accountability when using social media.Conclusion: The extensive use of social media in the clinical environment, by healthcare students, requires a joint effort by Nursing Education Institutions and healthcare facilities to ensure that social media are used in an ethically acceptable manner. The implementation of the recommendations of this research study could positively influence legally and ethically acceptable use of social media at healthcare facilities.

Management Domains

A knowledge management research study was integrated into a consulting internship for three students in an MLIS programme, working under the direction of a faculty member. The project scope was to organise knowledge across all academic disciplines, as represented in university structures, in support of the consulting client’s software analytics tools for scholarly journal publishers. The study team’s original research contribution was a four-phase design and validation approach to taxonomy creation, using extant research methods in concert. The students learned to bridge their coursework knowledge into a knowledge management environment in industry and to apply data collection and analysis methods to a novel research project.

Conducting Research

We examine an underaddressed issue in organizational research, the nature of the politicization of knowledge and its consequences for conducting research. Drawing on an illustrative case from a PhD research study and the underutilized theory of politicization, we go beyond previous work on politics in organization and management research to offer three contributions. First, we develop a process model underscoring the potentially emergent and interwoven nature of the politicization of research. In particular, we suggest politicization be seen as a trajectory of moments of difference in which researchers may or may not be aware of the potential political significance. Second, we offer four analytical resources to help researchers make sense around why politicization may occur: disputes over the “ownership” of knowledge, clashes of representational logics, ideological differences, and identity struggles. Third, we argue that politicization can be a catalyst, rather than an obstacle, for knowledge production and propose ways of anticipating and negotiating differences. Our aim is to raise awareness of the importance of understanding and anticipating the politicized situations researchers may encounter in their work.

The Impact

The performance within most of the private hospitals in Kilifi County has been deteriorating as more of its staff is leaving the private hospitals in search of the county government jobs. The study took a look at the results of personnel turnover on the organizational performance of chosen private hospitals in Kilifi County. The specific goals that assisted the research study were to evaluate the impact of voluntary turnover, involuntary turnover, functional turnover and dysfunctional turnover on the organizational performance. Theories utilized consisted of equity theory, human capital theory expectancy theory and balance score card model. The study embraced the descriptive research study design. The reliability of the survey was tested utilizing a pilot study. Main data was gathered utilizing close-ended questions. The study utilized a population of 53 top and middle-level managers in 6 private hospitals in Kilifi County. The sample size was accomplished using Stratified sampling. The population studied was subdivided into three strata; personnel supervisors, administrators and assistant administrators and departmental heads. SPSS was utilized to examine the information. The findings of the study developed that the four types of turnover under investigation had either a weak or moderate relationship with organizational efficiency. The study, for that reason, concluded that voluntary and practical turnover favorably relates with the organizational efficiency of the personal medical facility while both uncontrolled turnover and inefficient turnover negatively related with the organizational performance of the personal healthcare facilities in Kilifi County. Based on the conclusion, the study recommended that management should improve employee compensation and offer training to their employees as they contribute to employee voluntary exit. Management should put measures in place to reduce cases of indiscipline and fraud which causes involuntary turnover among the employees. Measures should also be implemented to help improve the health of the staff and reduce stress levels. Concerning functional turnover, the study recommended that private hospitals should have a good system of employment that promotes the retention of good performers and the release of poor performers. Finally, the study recommended that dysfunctional turnover should be avoided as it negatively affects organizational performance. Measures should, therefore, be put in place to discourage the departure of competent and high performing employees.

The Continuum

Management research in the field of organisational socialisation has largely focused on the incorporation of new recruits into stable organisations. This research study looks instead at the resocialisation of employees facing planned changes in their role expectations. Conducted with the assistance of a leading European railway company that had undergone a transformation process, the study is a qualitative piece of research mobilising 35 cases of employee resocialisation. The main findings are threefold: they reveal four typical forms of resocialisation (conviction, resourcefulness, resignation and transgression) spanning the continuum from success to failure; indicators of successful and failed resocialisation need to be revisited; cognitions or emotions (adherence) and behaviours (role orientation) are clearly aligned with conviction and transgression, as are those socialisation dimensions that can serve as either resources or barriers. Conversely, resourcefulness and resignation reveal ambivalent forms of resocialisation. Finally, experienced employees tend to face three kinds of resocialisation resources and barriers (relational networks, biographical continuities or discontinuities and organisational roles), each of which is specific in nature. Lessons can be drawn from these discoveries with regard to the resocialisation of experienced employees.

Abstract Background Healthcare-associated infections (HAI) with the opportunistic yeast Candida glabrata have become increasingly common in the fluconazole era, and may be endogenous or nosocomial in origin. Effective intervention requires distinguishing between these sources, which in turn requires epidemiological analysis in conjunction with isolate typing. Multiple approaches to C. glabrata typing have been described, ranging from length-based microsatellite and PFGE analyses to sequence-based MLST and WGS; however, issues of cost and technical complexity preclude their routine use in clinical labs. Polymorphic locus sequence typing (PLST) addresses these issues by employing conventional PCR and Sanger sequencing of selected tandem repeat loci that exhibit high rates of both SNPs and insertion/deletion. In our previous study, PLST loci CgMT-J and CgMT-M resolved 104 isolates into 10 phylogenetic clusters and 20 to 24 alleles (Katiyar et al., 2016, J. Clin. Microbiol. 54:1042). Within clusters N and P, isolates from 4 patients each (sets DSY and KM) who received treatment at the same healthcare facilities shared alleles. While consistent with nosocomial transmission, these alleles were also shared by epidemiologically unrelated strains. Methods CgMT-J/CgMT-M were identified by bioinformatic analysis of the only two, closely related C. glabrata genome sequences available at the time. Since current GenBank databases include sequences for 16 strains, including 4 epidemiologically related pairs, we bioinformatically searched for new loci exhibiting greater strain resolution. Results Locus CgMT-C represents an intergenic region on chromosome C that includes multiple tandem repeats and has no detectable homolog in other yeast. Phylogenetic analysis of database sequences resolved all 12 unrelated strains. In the laboratory, the CgMT-C locus was readily amplified and sequenced directly from C. glabrata colony lysates, including those prepared from chromogenic agars. Most importantly, CgMT-C analysis confirmed identities of the cluster N and P isolates from DSY and KM patients, and resolved them from all unrelated strains. Conclusion CgMT-C PLST represents a powerful new tool for C. glabrata epidemiology and infection control.

Abstract. Background: Concerns exist regarding the perceived risks of conducting suicide-focused research among an acutely distressed population. Aims: The current study assessed changes in participant distress before and after participation in a suicide-focused research study conducted on a psychiatric inpatient unit. Method: Participants included 37 veterans who were receiving treatment on a psychiatric inpatient unit and completed a survey-based research study focused on suicide-related behaviors and experiences. Results: Participants reported no significant changes in self-reported distress. The majority of participants reported unchanged or decreased distress. Reviews of electronic medical records revealed no behavioral dysregulation and minimal use of as-needed medications or changes in mood following participation. Limitations: The study's small sample size and veteran population may limit generalizability. Conclusion: Findings add to research conducted across a variety of settings (i.e., outpatient, online, laboratory), indicating that participating in suicide-focused research is not significantly associated with increased distress or suicide risk.
