has spread all over the globe rapidly and has been one of the threats affecting the world thereby organizations. The covid-19 pandemic has still been going on, and institutions have struggled to adapt to the new normal. This study aims to measure organizational resilience perceptions of healthcare professionals towards the institution they work during the Covid-19 pandemic process. The sample of this descriptive study was consisted of 200 healthcare personnel working at a university hospital. Data were collected with a questionnaire including healthcare personnels' sociodemographic characteristics and the Organizational Resilience Scale. The data were interpreted as numbers, means, and percentage distributions, parametric and nonparametric tests. There is a significant difference between the participants' organizational resilience scores who answered the question about being informed about the changes to be made regarding their work organization during the Covid-19 outbreak and the others (p=0.001). Similarly, there is a significant difference between organizational resilience scores of the participants who have requested to be dismissed due to the covid-19 outbreak from their duty from the management and the ones who have not (p=0.005). Healthcare institutions offer great support to reduce the severity of the epidemic and improve the process despite the crisis. Accordingly, healthy and resilient healthcare institutions must quickly turn crisis processes into learning opportunities.
Özet: Modern yaşamın göstergelerinden bir olan ve insanların genel olarak zamanlarının önemli bir bölümünü geçirdiği binalar, rezidanslar, kuleler, ev, okul veya iş yerleri gibi kapalı alanlar zamanla insan sağlığını olumsuz yönde etkilemektedir. Gösterişli, konforlu ve güvenli görünen bu binalar insanların etkili, verimli ve kaliteli yaşamalarını engellemektedir. Ayrıca, insanların birbirleriyle etkili iletişim kurmasını engelleyerek çatışmalara sebep olmakta ve sağlıksız bir yaşamın göstergesi olmaktadır. "Çalışan Kesimin Hastalığı" veya "Hasta Bina Sendromu" olarak adlandırılan bu hastalık; bina sakinlerinin binada geçirdikleri süre ile bağlantılı olarak herhangi bir belirgin hastalık ya da bir nedene bağlı olmayan akut sağlık sorunları ve konfor etkilerini tanımlamaktadır. Kapalı ortam hava kirliliği, iklimlendirme koşullarının yetersizliği, kimyasalların kullanımı, stres, gürültü, aydınlatma gibi faktörlerin sebep olduğu Hasta Bina Sendromu çalışanları olumsuz etkilemektedir. Sağlık kurumları çalışanlarının önemli düzeyde olumsuz etkilendiği bu sendrom, çalışanların verimliliğini azaltmakta, işe devamsızlıklarını arttırmakta ve çalışanların psikolojik sorunlar yaşamasına sebep olmaktadır. Kapalı alanda çalışan insanların hasta bina sendromundan etkilenmemesi için, çalışma alanlarındaki havalandırma sistemleri bakımlarının yapılması, çalışılan ortamda gürültünün önlenmesi, bina yapı malzemesinin doğru seçilmesi gibi stres oluşturacak faktörlerin düzenlenmesi alınacak önlemler arasında gösterilebilir.
Activity-based costing (ABC) is a method where the costing of the product or service produced is performed on the basis of the activities. This method provides advantages to healthcare managers such as more realistic cost information, elimination of indirect, unnecessary and time-consuming activities and performance measurement. The aim of this study is to examine the applicability of ABC method in health institutions and to compare the calculated costs with the HIN price list. With this aim, the costs of the procedure of IVF center in a university hospital were calculated with the ABC method. Cost calculations for the procedures of Oocyte Pick-Up (OPU), Testicular Sperm Extraction (TESE), Embryo Transfer (ET) and Microinjection as discussed in the study were made with the ABC method and compared against the Healthcare Implementation Notification (HIN) system price lists. The calculated costs were determined according to the effective exchange rate of the dollar. It was revealed that the calculated costs differed from the price list. Finally, the findings suggest that ABC method could provide significant benefit for healthcare managers not only for to understand actual care costs but also to improving the cost control efforts as well as to planning the profitability analysis for hospitals. ABC method would provide a better opportunity and competitive for hospital managers to make a more accurate comparison between their and other health institutions.
