Preparedness of Emergency Medical Services Students for Coronavirus Disease 2019 Emergency medical services providers, including emergency medical services students are among healthcare professionals on the front line to fight coronavirus disease 2019 and are under a greater risk of exposure. Preparing emergency medical services students to safely provide healthcare during the pandemic is vital. Therefore, this study assesses the emergency medical services student's preparedness for coronavirus disease 2019 in Saudi Arabia. A descriptive cross-sectional survey was conducted. This study was conducted at Prince Sultan Bin Abdulaziz College for Emergency Medical Services in King Saud University in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. In this study, 198 students participated. The emergency medical services students thought they are insufficiently prepared to face situations, such coronavirus disease 2019 (2.50±1.57). Regarding knowledge, the emergency medical services students thought that they are insufficiently prepared for coronavirus disease 2019. The emergency medical services students thought that they are insufficiently contributing to local or national-level efforts associated with coronavirus disease 2019 (2.40±1.34). Among the emergency medical services students, 83 % (n=132) presented a feeling that they were not satisfactorily equipped to counter coronavirus disease 2019 situation. Furthermore, 87 % (n=138) of the emergency medical services students thought that embedding coronavirus disease 2019 related topics in the emergency medical services curriculum and theory and practical training would help prepare them. The emergency medical services students have moderately inadequate knowledge and skills related to coronavirus disease 2019. Moreover, they indicated that they are uncertain about their ability to respond adequately to, or participate satisfactorily in, pandemic-related events. The emergency medical services students have expressed the need for more knowledge and skills related to coronavirus disease 2019 to be embedded in the emergency medical services program curriculum.
Health systems at all levels are under pressure to provide comprehensive and high quality of care based on the best evidencebased interventions. The kangaroo mother care (KMC) is one way to care for Low Birth Weight babies (LBW) especially in developing country where the rates of preterm and LBW neonates are higher and the resources are limited. The purpose of this paper is to explore healthcare providers’ perspectives of kangaroo mother care implementation in perinatology ward in the rural surgical hospital of East Java Province, Indonesia. We conducted an in-depth interviews to identify KMC implementations. Ten healthcare providers engaged with KMC were interviewed. Data was analyzed using a thematic analysis. Healthcare providers reported positives perceptions of KMC and acknowledged their important roles to give education. The barriers in implementing the KMC including the level of knowledge and the age of the mother of LBW babies. KMC as a method of treating LBW babies is effective intervention care of preterm and LBW babies. This research provides information regarding the need of supports from all levels in KMC implementation.
Hospitals in today’s healthcare system are under pressure to boost their competitiveness. A number of studies have shown the disconnect between corporate culture and the enhancement of healthcare professionals’ performance. While it is well accepted that an organization’s culture has a substantial impact on the performance of its health care professionals in clinical practice, the mechanisms by which culture might enhance health care professionals’ performance remain unclear. This paper draws on 22 literature reviews and database searches using keyword syntax from Sciencedirect, Pubmed, Google Schoolar, and other relevant publications published between 2011 and 2021. Research in the field demonstrates that a company’s culture may influence the efficiency and effectiveness of its healthcare employees. This overarching issue was dissected into the following themes: nurse performance mediated by discipline; the existence of cultural groups; a central focus on health care professional management; and individual, organizational, and psychological aspects. The optimal performance of nurses and the outcomes of patient care are contingent on management in the health care business knowing the cultural factors that exist in the workplace.
Introduction: The COVID-19 pandemic has made all lines of nursing education switch to an online system. The use of learning methods with an inquiry approach has been widely used but with a combination of podcast media there is still no research to improve critical thinking of nursing students. The purpose of this study was to examine the effect of the learning method with an inquiry approach with a combination of podcast media on nursing students' critical thinking skills and student satisfaction.Methods: This research is a mixed-methods research with quantitative and qualitative approaches. First year nursing students taking community nursing courses consisting of 53 students. The quantitative study used Pearson's Chi-square test and the differences between the dependent and independent variables were analyzed by t-test. Qualitative research using students' opinions about the inquiry method with a combination of podcast media is determined by using a structured interview form.Results: The experimental and control groups also differed significantly in their scores for the CTMS expectation subscale (p: 0.036), achievement (p: 0.016) and utility (p: 0.014), but they were not significantly different in terms of costs (p: 0.071). The students reported that the inquiry learning method combined with podcast media facilitated their learning and management of the nursing process, but they sometimes had difficulty.Conclusions: It can be concluded that the learning method with an inquiry approach with a combination of podcast media improves the critical thinking skills of nursing students. The research implications show how the findings may be important for future policy, practice, theory, and research on learning methods.
