Stress on nurses working in the emergency room, due to the Covid-19 pandemic which results in a higher risk of exposure, this happens because the nurses in the emergency room still don't know whether a patient is infected with a certain disease or not. The purpose of this study was to determine the level of stress on nurses working in the emergency department. This type of research is quantitative descriptive using a non-analytic cross-sectional design. The population in this study were nurses who worked in the emergency department as many as 22 people with total sampling. Based on the results of the study, it can be concluded that almost half of them are included in the very severe stress level, namely 8 people (36%),. It is hoped that all nurses, especially in the emergency unit room, will always comply with the Health protocol in preventing the transmission of Covid-19

Perceptions And Expectations

Introduction: Nurses as professionals must provide services in accordance with the competence and authority possessed either individually or as part of a hospital team. Thus, there is a need to manage the resources of nursing  such as the professional career development system for nurses. The study aimed to identify the perception and expetation of the nurses on the implementation of career ladder in two hospitals in Makassar city. Method: This research used quantitative method with the cross sectional design. There were 105 nurses from Hasanuddin University Hospital and 212 nurses from Dr. Wahidin Sudirohusodo Hospital involved as samples in this study. The samples were chosen using the disproportionate stratified random sampling technique. The data were collected through questionnaires to find out the nurse perception including some open ended  question to explore the nurses expectation from this career ladder program.  The data were  analyzed using descriptive statistic and mann-whitney to seee the differences perception between the groups. Result: The result revealed although that mean of perception about the implementation of career ladder in two hospitals are considered good (m=3.70 dan m=3.94), there was differences of nurses perception in both hospitals (p=0.00). Conclusions: Meanwhile, the result of open-ended questions about nurses' expectation about the implementation of the career ladder emphasized that there should  be a schedule for training for their professional improvement. Evaluation for further assessment for higher levels of career ladder also considered important for the nurses in both hospitals. Furthermore, the rewards or incentives for the nurses received shold be appropriate according to the career levels. In conclusion, the implementation of career ladder program in both hospitals have been considered good, however, the hospitals need to support the nurses and pay attention to factors that could influence the nurses satisfaction of the program.

AbstractObjectivesOpioids are the most potent analgesics in the treatment of postoperative pain. Respiratory depression is, however, a serious side effect. The aims of this study were to evaluate current practice and routines for post-operative administration of opioids in a Norwegian university hospital and to evaluate whether the clinical safeguards adequately protected patients’ safety regarding risk of respiratory depression.MethodsThe study had a retrospective cross-sectional design and included 200 patients, treated with opioids postoperatively. The patients were treated in a post-anesthesia care unit (PACU) before transferal to a surgical ward. Relevant data such as opioid dosages, routes of administration, sedation and respiratory function, routines for patient monitoring, and numbers of patients with opioid induced respiratory depression was collected.ResultsTwo patients (1%) developed respiratory depression that needed naloxone to reverse the effect, and 32 patients (16%) had a respiratory rate (RR) <10/min, which may have been caused by opioids. In the PACU, the patient’s RR was evaluated on a routine base, but after transferal to a surgical ward RR documented in only 7% of the patients.ConclusionsThe lack of routines for patient monitoring, especially RR, represented a risk of not detecting opioid induced respiratory depression.

ABSTRACT This is a quantitative, descriptive and exploratory research, with cross-sectional design that investigated the stressors experienced by nursing technicians working in general hospital and identified the coping strategies most used by them. The sample contained 310 participants. A sociodemographic questionnaire and the Ways of Coping Scale were used. For the analysis we used descriptive statistics and calculated the Cronbach's alpha. 60% of professionals used the strategies focused on the problem; 57.4% attributed their stress to working conditions, 26.8% to relationships in the workplace, 5.5% to the lack of reward at work and only 0.6% to problems personal. We conclude that strategies focused on the problems were the most used, indicating an approximation of the stressor in order to fix it. The identified stressors indicate the need for planning, stimulating and recognizing nursing professionals.

The objective of this study is to assess the effect of alcohol consumption, anxiety, and food restriction before and after consuming alcohol and body image on the risk of anorexia and bulimia in college students from Tijuana, Baja California, through predictive statistical models. A quantitative, descriptive, and cross-sectional design and a non-probabilistic sample of 526 college students from Tijuana, Baja California, México were used. Application of the scales (with acceptable psychometric properties) was conducted in classrooms. Through path analyses, four models were found with adequate indicators of goodness of fit: (1) risk of anorexia in women [Chi Square (X2) = 5.34, p = 0.376, Adjusted Determination Coefficient (R2)= 0.250]; (2) anorexia risk for men (X2 = 13.067, p = 0.192, R2 = 0.058); (3) risk of bulimia in women (X2 = 3.358, p = 0.645, R2 = 0.202); and bulimia risk for men (X2 = 14.256, p = 0.075, R2 = 0.284). The findings provide empirical evidence for the food and alcohol disturbance model.

AbstractBackgroundPatients seeking care in public hospitals are often resource-limited populations who have in past disasters become the most vulnerable. The objective of this study was to determine the personal disaster preparedness of emergency department (ED) patients and to identify predictors of low levels of preparedness. It was hypothesized that vulnerable populations would be better prepared for disasters.MethodsA prospective cross-sectional survey was conducted over a one-year period of patients seeking care in a public university hospital ED (census 65,000). Exclusion criteria were mentally impaired, institutionalized, or non-English speaking subjects. Subjects completed an anonymous survey detailing the 15 personal preparedness items from the Federal Emergency Management Agency's disaster preparedness checklist as well as demographic characteristics. Summary statistics were used to describe general preparedness. Chi-square tests were used to compare preparedness by demographics.ResultsDuring the study period, 857/1000 subjects completed the survey. Participants were predominantly male (57%), Caucasian (65%), middle-aged (mean 45 years), and high school graduates (83%). Seventeen percent (n = 146) reported having special needs and 8% were single parents. Most participants were not prepared: 451 (53%) had >75% of checklist items, 393 (46%) had food and water for 3 days, and 318 (37%) had food, water, and >75% of items. Level of preparedness was associated with age and parenting. Those aged 44 and older were more likely to be prepared for a disaster compared to younger respondents. (43.3% vs 31.1%, P = .0002). Similarly, single parents were more likely to be prepared than dual parenting households (47.1 vs 32.9%, P = .03).ConclusionsThis study and others have found that only the minority of any group is actually prepared for disaster. Future research should focus on ways to implement disaster preparedness education, specifically targeting vulnerable populations, then measuring the effects of educational programs to demonstrate that preparedness has increased as a result.TrueNA, AdedoyinJD, ShoferFS, HastyEK, BriceJH.

Background. Nonverbal behaviors have a significant impact on patients during consultations. This study was undertaken to find out the attitudes and preferences of the patients regarding nonverbal communication during consultations with physicians, in a tertiary care hospital. Methods. A questionnaire based cross-sectional study was carried out at the Aga Khan University Hospital, Karachi, Pakistan, during the months of January to March 2012. All patients (>18 years of age) coming for consultancy in the family medicine clinics were approached; out of 133, 120 agreed to participate. The subjects were asked questions regarding physician’s comforting touch and eye contact and their responses were noted. The data were analyzed using SPSS and chi-square test was used to identify corelations. Results. Overall, 120 patients were enrolled. About 58.3% were men and 41.7% were women with a mean age of 34.9±10.9 years. 95.8% were Muslims and 57.6% had more than 12 years of education. Among females 74% wanted supportive touch from doctors, used to comfort the patient (45%) or to show respect (27.5%) or as healing (30%). 86.1% of the respondents believe that establishing eye contact with the patient shows that the doctor is attentive towards his/her patient. The eye contact should be brief but regular (54.1%) and prolonged staring (36.7%) makes them uncomfortable. Conclusion. Nonverbal communication helps to strengthen the doctor-patient relation as patients do appreciate positive touch and eye contact from their physicians.
