“…The second most important contributor was the degree of ease of EHR use. Consistent with the findings of other studies, as physicians start to experience the ease of using the EHR system, they will start adopting the EHR system [ 3 ]. Moreover, another study [ 25 ] found that perceived usefulness and perceived ease of use increase the acceptance of using the EHR system and hence the satisfaction with it.…”

“…A recent literature review indicated that many health care organizations worldwide, especially in low-income countries, still rely on paper-based systems for maintaining patient records [ 2 ]. Research suggests that primary issues faced by traditional systems (ie, paper-based systems) are inaccuracy of information, loss of data, and difficulty in sharing information [ 3 ]. In Kuwait, many attempts were made to automate clinical workflows in public hospitals.…”

Background Electronic health record (EHR) has emerged as a backbone health care organization that aims to integrate health care records and automate clinical workflow. With the adoption of the eHealth care system, health information communication technologies and EHRs are offering significant health care advantages in the form of error reduction, improved communication, and patient satisfaction. Objective This study aimed to (1) investigate factors associated with physicians’ EHR adoption status and prevalence of EHRs in Kuwait and (2) identify factors predicting physician satisfaction with EHRs in public hospitals in Kuwait. Methods This study was conducted at Kuwait’s public Al-Jahra hospital from May to September 2019, using quantitative research methods. Primary data were gathered via questionnaires distributed among 295 physicians recruited using convenience sampling. Data were analyzed in SPSS using descriptive, bivariate, and multivariate linear regression, adjusted for demographics. Results Results of the study revealed that the controlled variable of gender (β=–.197; P=.02) along with explanatory variables, such as training quality (β=.068; P=.005), perception of barriers (β=–.107; P=.04), and effect on physician (β=.521; P<.001) have a significant statistical relationship with physicians’ EHR adoption status. Furthermore, findings also suggested that controlled variables of gender (β=–.193; P=.02), education (β=–.164; P=.03), effect on physician (β=.417; P<.001), and level of ease of use (β=.254; P<.001) are significant predictors of the degree of physician satisfaction with the EHR system. Conclusions The findings of this study had significant managerial and practical implications for creating an inductive environment for the acceptance of EHR systems across a broad spectrum of health care system in Kuwait.

“…The research of Denhere et al (2022) presented the interoperability readiness of healthcare practitioners in Zimbabwe considering influence by institutional support and government policy through standards and regulation including personnel training. Some scholars made research on post-Traumatic stress symptoms among a sample of abused women and the results indicated that the prevalence of symptoms of anxiety Post-traumatic stress is average among abused women and low among non-violent women (Banisaeed et al, 2022) The state of occupational injuries is the subject of study of many scientists: economic issue of the on-the-job injury rate determinants in coal mines (Churikanova, 2012); safety technology and health in the production and processing animal products (Kamenska, 2014); disease arising from occupational exposures (Driscoll, 2018); illness arising from excess heat exposure (Fortune et al 2013); a systematic analysis for the Global Burden of Disease Study 2016» (Gakidou et al, 2017); worker health and safety and climate change in the Americas (Keifer, et al, 2016); occupational disease prevention and control in China (Wang, Tao, 2012).…”

Purpose of the study is to investigate occupational injuries according to the statistics from labour inspectorates (State Labour, International Labour Organization. ILOSTAT, Państwowa inspekcja pracy), to assess the safety of production processes in Ukraine and countries of the world. Methodology. The methodical approach to the assessment of safety of production processes, protection of workers from dangers and risks in the areas of supervision of Ukraine and foreign countries of the world was carried out based on the statistics of the reports of the State Labour Service of Ukraine (State Labour), International Labour Organization. Ilostat, Państwowa inspekcja pracy using a logical method of cognition (analysis, synthesis, abstraction, generalization, deduction, induction, analogy, etc.), statistical method of injury analysis. The occupational injuries dynamics in Ukraine and countries of the world (Poland, Italy, Turkey, China, Japan, etc.) have been investigated, the comparative analysis has been made and regularities of its growth or decrease have been identified. Findings. Based on the data analysis of the State Labour Service of Ukraine, International Labour Organization. Ilostat, Państwowa inspekcja pracy for the period it was found that the state of occupational injuries is declining, both in Ukraine and in the countries of the world. It has been revealed that the most dangerous industries in Ukraine are coal, socio-cultural, trade, transport and agro-industrial spheres. At present, the most dangerous industries in foreign countries are the construction and manufacturing industries. Practical value. The analysis of occupational injury data from countries around the world makes it possible to evaluate the work of labour inspectorates. On the basis of statistics, supervision areas and the relevant authorities can predict, prevent and eliminate potential industrial hazards ahead of time, to offer promising ways to increase the level of occupational safety in Ukraine based on positive foreign experience.

The combat experience of military and demobilized persons combines the influence of combat and non-combat stressors with combat conditions and stressors associated with being in the combat zone, which leads to severe personal injury, symptoms of posttraumatic stress disorder and severe stress adaptive capacity. The resource of mastering combat stress is vitality, which is confirmed by the general viable position of the subjects, focused on effective self-development. Combatants show marked signs of maladaptation, but half of them report an increase in the value of life, spiritual growth and a general trend of personal growth, with women significantly exceeding men in terms of increasing personal strength. The aim of the research is to reveal the indicators of posttraumatic growth and personality rehabilitative resources of combatants and demobilized servicemen. Therefore, the posttraumatic growth of combatants goes hand in hand with attempts to adapt to a difficult situation. The main strategies for resisting stress in these conditions are cognition and recourse to physical activity. It is the resource of physical activity that is significantly positively correlated with indicators of posttraumatic personal growth. Personality posttraumatic growth indicators have been substantiated: change in attitude toward others, emergence of new opportunities, increase in strength of personality, spiritual changes, increase in the value of life, and general posttraumatic growth. The resource of rehabilitation potential, which is little used, is the appeal to the sphere of imagination and emotional sphere. The military does not sufficiently use the resources of faith and search for social support, which in crisis conditions are productive strategies. Sustainability is an important component of personal rehabilitation potential, but at this stage of a difficult situation, the personal resources involved are a person’s activity in overcoming difficulties, his/her desire to act and win, the desire not to lose this meaning, to express their personal potential.
