“…Due to overcrowding in the public hospitals of Shiraz, professional communication and professional values in the operating rooms are afflicted by many issues with serious consequences, including an increase in medical errors, reduction in self-confidence, poor concentration, perception of inequality, increased workload, unnecessary paperwork, increased immigration rates, and deterioration in the quality of care. In addition, hospitals do not have any systematic instruments or programs to evaluate and improve the personnel’s professional communication and professional values [ 17 , 18 ] . Accordingly, the present study aims to identify the variables which correlate with professional communication and professional values as perceived by operating room doctors and personnel, to determine the status quo, to measure the compatibility of the criteria with the personnel’ responsibilities, and to suggest solutions to improve professional communication and perception of professional values.…”

Purpose Professional communication and professional values are two basic concepts in operating rooms and should be studied more closely in view of the nature of work and the high circulation of patients in operating rooms. Methods The present work is a descriptive-analytic study with a cross-sectional design. The sample was 603 operating room physicians and personnel selected from the public hospitals of Shiraz. The data collection instruments were the 41-item professional communication questionnaire and the 26-item professional values scale. Results The results showed that the operating room nurses and physicians perceived the status of professional communication and professional values to be satisfactory. As for professional communication, the participants’ perception of the domains of mutual respect and trust (p ≤ 0.001), teamwork (p ≤ 0.001), ethical competence (p ≤ 0.017), and workplace conflicts (p ≤ 0.001) was significant. As for professional values, only the dimension of care (p ≤ 0.016) was perceived to be significant. Moreover, a significant positive relationship was found to exist between professional communication and professional values (p ≤ 0.001). Conclusion Considering the significance of the concept of professional communication and its connection with professional values, it is recommended that operating room personnel and physicians receive systematic education about professional communication and the harms of destructive attitudes as part of their academic education and afterwards.

“…Transformation of healthcare systems with more flexibility can contribute to provide access to quality healthcare. Both flexibility in physical capacities (AbuShaban [ 2 ]) and medical staff flexibility (Ferreira et al [ 34 ], Casha and Casha [ 35 ]) should thus be addressed.…”

“…The healthcare sector of many countries is suffering from medical stuff shortages resulting from emigration of medical professionals (Ferreira et al [ 34 ], Casha and Casha [ 35 ]). We argue that there is the need to design policy measures that mitigate the intention of healthcare professionals to emigrate.…”

Reshaping the Healthcare Sector with Economic Policy Measures Based on COVID-19 Epidemic Severity: A Global Study

2022

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Governments around the world are looking for ways to manage economic consequences of COVID-19 and promote economic development. The aim of this study is to identify the areas where the application of economic policy measures would enhance the resilience of societies on epidemic risks. We use data on the COVID-19 pandemic outcome in a large number of countries. With the estimation of multiple econometric models, we identify areas being a reasonable choice for economic policy intervention. It was found that viable remediation actions worth taking can be identified either for long-, mid-, or short-term horizons, impacting the equality, healthcare sector, and national economy characteristics. We suggest encouraging research and development based on innovative technologies linked to industries in healthcare, pharmaceutical, and biotech, promoting transformation of healthcare systems based on new technologies, providing access to quality healthcare, promoting public healthcare providers, and investing in the development of regional healthcare infrastructure, as a tool of equal regional development based on economic assessment. Further, a central element of this study, i.e. the innovative identification matrix, could be populated as a unique policy framework, either for latest pandemic or any similar outbreaks in future.

“…Sadly, for policy formation, other than the need to focus on the requirements of particular specialisms, there is nothing here that is particularly new. Brugha et al themselves point to similar contemporary European structures of migration -rationales and proportions -for Portugal, 4 Germany, 5 Romania, Greece and the United Kingdom. To those can be added Lithuania 6 and Iceland.…”

Doctor Retention or Migration: From Ireland to the World? Comment on "Doctor Retention: A Cross-sectional Study of How Ireland Has Been Losing the Battle"

The recent study of prospective doctor migration and retention suggests that more than half of junior doctors intend to migrate from Ireland. While intent is not necessarily outcome, such intentions match similar survey results in Ireland and elsewhere. The rationale for migration is described as a function of difficult workplace circumstances (notably long hours and mismanagement). Lifestyle factors may however also be important for both migration and significant levels of return migration. These are related to family formation, and to an established culture of migration, that has contributed to a considerable circularity of mobility and migration, primarily between Anglophone countries. International migration may also have unspecified regional variations and impacts. Migration has taken a similar form for half a century and longstanding policies to constrain its more damaging impacts have been conspicuously unsuccessful yet responses remain urgent.
