“…Husseini et al ranked factors affecting the productivity of the human resource of the Doroud Cement Factory by ANP technique (15) and found that the results were incompatible with those of this study. In addition, the results of some other studies, including Luturlean et al ( 16), Mosadeghrad et al (17), and Kiani and Radfard (13), were consistent with those of this study but did not match with those of Ali et al (4).…”

Background: The hospital system is essential for providing medical services, and improving productivity is vital for enhancing the health system. Objectives: This study aimed to rank factors affecting productivity in Ahvaz hospitals using the analytic network process (ANP) technique. Methods: The statistical population of the current study was 60 personnel of Ahvaz hospitals (20 from each hospital), who were selected by purposive sampling. The sampling method was purposive. A researcher-made questionnaire was used to collect data related to research variables, and its validity was evaluated using content validity. Cronbach’s alpha coefficient test was used by SPSS software version 22 to measure the reliability, which was as much as 0.87. The ANP method was used by the Super-Decisions software to prioritize the influencing factors on hospital efficiency. Finally, the normalized weight (NW) was calculated for each main factor and sub-factors using the geometric mean technique after normalizing the obtained values. Results: Prioritizing the main factors affecting the productivity of Ahvaz hospitals showed that management factors (NW = 0.294), economic factors (NW = 0.269), human factors (NW = 0.267), and technological factors (NW = 0.171) were placed in the first to fourth priority, respectively. Conclusions: Based on the results, factors such as the relatively weak management of hospitals, failure of supervisory mechanisms, lack of human resources, unrealistic tariffs for diagnostic and therapeutic services, incomplete implementation of the new hospital administration system plan, low salaries and wages of personnel were the most critical obstacles for improving productivity in Ahvaz hospitals. Therefore, enhancing the level of hospital management and fully implementing the new hospital administration system plan is essential for increasing the productivity of Ahvaz hospitals.

“…It is highly centralized and almost all of the decisions about general goals, policies and allocation of resources for an extensive healthcare network that offers basic healthcare services in addition to public health programmes, such as primary, secondary and tertiary health care, and medical education are made at the national level by the Ministry of Health and Medical Education (MOHME) in the Iranian government (Azizi, 2007). The ministry consists of nine deputies as follows: deputy for food and drugs; deputy for research and technology; deputy for health; deputy for education; deputy for culture and students’ affairs; deputy for treatment; deputy for legal, parliamentary and provincial affairs; deputy for management development, resources and planning; and deputy for nursing (Mosadeghrad & Rahimi‐Tab ar, 2019). Yet, the ministry delegates its responsibilities to over 60 affiliated universities of medical sciences and health services across the country.…”

Iranian nurses' perception of the public image of nursing and its association with their quality of working life

et al. 2021

The public image (PI) of nursing, which incorporates beliefs, ideas and impressions that people have of nurses and nursing, has always been a socio-cultural issue for this profession (Emeghebo, 2012, Wallace, 2007. Recently, the environment in which nurses do practice has changed and this change foreshadows significant evolutions in the nursing profession (Maxwell, 2015). There is ample evidence that the PI of nursing has improved globally, especially in developed countries, which holds high value and reputation for the nursing profession. However, there still remains some negative view with regard to the PI of nurses (Meadus & Twomey, 2007;ten-Hoeve et al., 2014). For example, in a recent integrative review, Glerean et al., (2017) found that young people's perceptions of the nursing profession were outdated, partly unrealistic and did not reflect the tasks of a modern nurse. According to the results of this review, these perceptions were largely influenced by social factors such as family and relatives, friends, media and significant

Developing a conceptual model of post-disaster damage and loss assessment program in the Iranian health sector: a qualitative study protocol

et al. 2023

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

IntroductionAnnual natural and man-made disasters in Iran eventually lead to casualties and considerable financial loss. The success of a reconstruction programme depends on accurate postdisaster damage and loss assessment. Based on these assessments, the goals, priorities and approaches required for reconstruction are prepared and formulated. To effectively implement a reconstruction and rehabilitation programme in the country’s health sector, it is necessary to prepare and compile a postdisaster damage and loss assessment programme.Methods and analysisThis qualitative study will be conducted to develop a conceptual model of a postdisaster damage and loss assessment programme in Iran’s health sector. First, a scoping review method will be conducted to identify the entities and components of the postdisaster damage and loss assessment programme. Then, using semistructured interviews, the opinions of university professors and disaster damage and loss assessors in the health sector will be obtained. Next, by conducting a focus group discussion, the initial programme of disaster damage and loss assessment in the Iranian health sector will be developed and then, the modified Delphi method will be used to validate it.Ethics and disseminationEthical approval for this study was obtained from the research ethics committee of Isfahan University of Medical Sciences (IR.MUI.NUREMA.REC.1400.171). The study results will be disseminated to stakeholders, published in peer-reviewed journals and presented at conferences.
