    电子健康计划所体现的日益增长和无处不在的数字化趋势导致了数字解决方案在医疗保健领域的广泛采用。这些举措被认为是旨在改善医疗保健服务的强大变革力量,提高患者的治疗效果,提高医疗保健系统的效率。然而,尽管电子健康计划提供了巨大的潜力和可能性,这篇文章强调了批判性地研究它们的影响的重要性,并警告人们不要误解技术本身可以解决复杂的公共卫生问题和医疗保健挑战。它强调需要批判性地考虑社会文化背景,教育和培训,组织和体制方面,监管框架,用户参与和实施电子健康计划时的其他重要因素。忽视这些关键因素可能会使电子健康计划变得低效甚至适得其反。鉴于此,这篇文章指出了可能阻碍电子健康计划成功的失败和谬误,并强调了它们往往达不到不断上升和不合理期望的领域。为了应对这些挑战,文章建议采用更现实和基于证据的方法来规划和实施电子健康计划。它要求一致的研究议程,电子健康计划中适当的评估方法和战略方向。通过采用这种方法,eHealth倡议可以有助于实现社会目标,实现全球范围内医疗保健系统的关键卫生优先事项和发展要务。
    The growing and ubiquitous digitalization trends embodied in eHealth initiatives have led to the widespread adoption of digital solutions in the healthcare sector. These initiatives have been heralded as a potent transformative force aiming to improve healthcare delivery, enhance patient outcomes and increase the efficiency of healthcare systems. However, despite the significant potential and possibilities offered by eHealth initiatives, the article highlights the importance of critically examining their implications and cautions against the misconception that technology alone can solve complex public health concerns and healthcare challenges. It emphasizes the need to critically consider the sociocultural context, education and training, organizational and institutional aspects, regulatory frameworks, user involvement and other important factors when implementing eHealth initiatives. Disregarding these crucial elements can render eHealth initiatives inefficient or even counterproductive. In view of that, the article identifies failures and fallacies that can hinder the success of eHealth initiatives and highlights areas where they often fall short of meeting rising and unjustified expectations. To address these challenges, the article recommends a more realistic and evidence-based approach to planning and implementing eHealth initiatives. It calls for consistent research agendas, appropriate evaluation methodologies and strategic orientations within eHealth initiatives. By adopting this approach, eHealth initiatives can contribute to the achievement of societal goals and the realization of the key health priorities and development imperatives of healthcare systems on a global scale.

    证据表明,常规职业安全与健康(OSH)培训对于在医疗机构保持良好的安全文化至关重要。然而,我们对医疗机构类型和常规OSH培训如何交互影响报告的组织安全文化认知数量的理解有限.
    本研究评估了医疗机构类型和OSH培训对加纳医护人员报告的组织安全文化认知数量的互动影响,其次,它评估了当考虑理论上相关因素(成分和上下文)时,这种关系是如何减弱的,最后检查预测因子与报告的组织安全文化认知数量之间的关联程度和顺序。
    横断面访谈研究。
    研究人员采访了加纳中部地区17个医疗机构的500名医护人员。
    将负二项回归模型拟合到加纳500名医护人员的横断面调查数据。
    在医疗中心工作的医护人员(24%,P<0.05)和医院(23%,P<0.05)与在未进行常规OSH培训的医疗中心工作的同行相比,进行常规OSH培训的员工更有可能报告良好的组织安全文化观念。39岁以上的个人(23%,与20-29年类别中的同行相比,P<0.05)更有可能报告良好的组织安全文化观念。女性医护人员(11%,与男性同行相比,P<0.05)更有可能报告良好的组织安全文化观念。
    这些发现为医疗保健部门的政策制定者和利益相关者提供了有价值的信息,以制定必要的干预措施,以改善医疗保健机构的安全文化。
    UNASSIGNED: Evidence shows that routine occupational safety and health (OSH) training is critical for maintaining good safety culture at healthcare facilities. However, our understanding of how healthcare facility type and routine OSH training interactively influence the number of reported organizational safety culture perceptions is limited.
    UNASSIGNED: This study assesses the interactive effect of healthcare facility type and OSH training on the number of reported organizational safety culture perceptions of healthcare workers in Ghana, secondly it evaluates how the relationship was attenuated when theoretically relevant factors (compositional and contextual) were considered, and lastly examines the magnitude and order of association between the predictors and the number of reported organizational safety culture perceptions.
    UNASSIGNED: Cross-sectional interview study.
    UNASSIGNED: The researchers interviewed 500 healthcare workers in seventeen healthcare facilities in the Central region of Ghana.
    UNASSIGNED: Negative binomial regression models were fitted to cross-sectional survey data on 500 healthcare workers in Ghana.
    UNASSIGNED: Healthcare workers who work in healthcare centers (24%, P<0.05) and hospitals (23%, P<0.05) where routine OSH training was conducted were more likely to report good organizational safety culture perceptions compared with their counterparts who work at healthcare centers where no routine OSH training was conducted. Individuals who were above 39 years (23%, P<0.05) were more likely to report good organizational safety culture perceptions compared with their counterparts in the 20-29-year category. Female healthcare workers (11%, P<0.05) were more likely to report good organizational safety culture perceptions compared with their male counterparts.
    UNASSIGNED: These findings provide valuable information for policymakers and stakeholders in the healthcare sector to develop interventions necessary for improving safety culture at healthcare facilities.

    目标:在许多国家,门诊和住院护理是分开的。住院期间,因此,需要将门诊药物转换为医院处方集的药物。
    方法:我们在六个切换步骤(S0-S5)中新设计了一种切换算法,并在BundeswehrHamburg医院进行了一项研究(300张病床,80%平民)。我们进行了(i)药物核对以获取有关门诊药物的信息,以及(ii)药物审查以解决与药物相关的问题,例如,药物-药物相互作用。我们应用(iii)该算法将药物转换为医院处方集。
    结果:(i)我们确定了连续入院的100例患者(中位年龄:71岁;Q25/Q75:64/80岁)中的475种门诊药物(每位患者中位数:4;Q25/Q752/7)。在475种药物中,无法使用切换算法,因为产品名称缺失了23.9%,强度缺失了1.7%。在3.2%中,由于在住院期间未开药,因此不需要转换。(ii)在79名患者中有31名使用一种以上药物的患者中发现了药物-药物相互作用。在475种药物中,18.5%在医院处方集上,因此不需要切换(S0),0.2%在不允许切换的替换-排除列表中(S1),42.0%改用医院处方集(S2)的学名药,1.7%的治疗等效药物(S3),0.4%患者单独切换(S4),8.2%的患者不可能进行标准化/患者-个体转换(S5).
    结论:尽管进行了全面的药物和解,将药物转换为医院处方集的患者和药物相关信息经常缺失.一旦所有必要的信息可用,标准化的切换可以很容易地根据新开发的切换算法进行。
    OBJECTIVE: In many countries, outpatient and inpatient care are separated. During hospitalization, therefore, switching the outpatient medication to medication of the hospital formulary is required.
    METHODS: We newly designed a switching algorithm in six switching steps (S0-S5) and conducted a study at Bundeswehr Hospital Hamburg (300 beds, 80% civilians). We performed (i) a medication reconciliation to obtain information on outpatient medications and (ii) a medication review to solve drug-related-problems, e.g., drug-drug interactions. We applied (iii) the algorithm to switch medications to the hospital formulary.
    RESULTS: (i) We identified 475 outpatient medications (median per patient: 4; Q25/Q75 2/7) in 100 patients consecutively admitted to hospital (median age: 71; Q25/Q75: 64/80 years). Of 475 medications, the switching algorithm could not be used since product names were missing in 23.9% and strength in 1.7%. In 3.2%, switching was not required since medication was not prescribed during the hospital stay. (ii) Drug-drug interactions were identified in 31 of 79 patients with more than one medication. (iii) Of 475 medications, 18.5% were on the hospital formulary and therefore did not need to be  switched (S0), 0.2% were on a substitution-exclusion list not allowing switching (S1), 42.0% were switched to a generic medication of the hospital formulary (S2), 1.7% to a therapeutically equivalent medication (S3), 0.4% were patient-individually switched (S4), and for 8.2% a standardized/patient-individual switching was not possible (S5).
    CONCLUSIONS: Despite comprehensive medication reconciliation, patient- and medication-related information for switching medications to the hospital formulary was often missing. Once all the necessary information was available, standardized switching could be easily carried out according to a newly developed switching algorithm.

    本文旨在回顾阿拉伯联合酋长国(UAE)的医疗保健系统以及国际认证的利用,以提高医疗保健服务质量并发展其医疗旅游业。医疗旅游为阿联酋的经济做出了贡献。因此,该国授权公共和私营设施的国际认证,以吸引患者并促进医疗旅游。认证是全球公认的实施质量和患者安全标准的主要驱动因素之一。这引起了人们对研究此类评估的影响和结果的极大兴趣。因此,本文的第二个目的是回顾阿联酋利用国际认证提高医疗服务质量的战略目标.尽管努力实现全球认证吸引了游客,必须了解此类评估的需求和结果。这篇评论显示了阿联酋医疗保健部门如何通过认证来提高其医疗保健服务质量。在提高此类服务的质量和增加医疗旅游业的同时,为外籍人士移居阿联酋提供了许多机会,该国应致力于通过扩展到其他中东国家来加强其医疗服务。本文可能会影响在阿联酋和中东地区实施国际认证的政策制定者。
    This paper aims to review the healthcare system in the United Arab Emirates (UAE) and the utilisation of international accreditation to improve the quality of healthcare services and to grow its medical tourism industry. Medical tourism has contributed to the UAE\'s economy. Hence, the country mandated international accreditation in public and private facilities to attract patients and boost medical tourism. Accreditation is recognised worldwide as one of the main drivers for implementing quality and patient safety standards, which has sparked considerable interest in studying the effects and outcomes of such assessments. Therefore, the second aim of this paper is to review the UAE\'s strategic goals to improve the quality of healthcare services using international accreditation. Although striving to achieve global accreditation attracts tourists, it is essential to understand the needs and outcomes of such assessments. This review showed how the UAE healthcare sector has evolved to improve the quality of its healthcare services through accreditation. While enhancing the quality of such services and increasing the medical tourism industry provided many opportunities for expatriates to move to the UAE, the country should aim to strengthen its medical services by expanding to other Middle Eastern countries. This paper could influence policymakers implementing international accreditation in the UAE and the Middle Eastern region.

    这项研究评估了维尔纽斯534名医疗一线工作人员对COVID-19疫苗接种的免疫反应,立陶宛。在医疗保健部门开始接种疫苗后,COVID-19的发病率显着降低。在V-VII组中检测到SARS-CoV-2抗体,发现该水平的抗体可有效预防COVID-19。在两次疫苗接种后实现了持续的免疫反应,保持稳定长达6个月。加强剂量后,抗体水平继续保持高水平12个月.尽管SARS-CoV-2抗体水平在6个月后下降,甚至更低水平的抗体提供针对Delta菌株的保护。加强剂量在高水平抗体组中分配抗体滴度,提供12个月的最大保护。然而,即使具有高抗体滴度的个体,在Omicron菌株存在的情况下,在加强免疫接种6个月后,也观察到感染COVID-19.不幸的是,高水平的抗体不能提供针对新的COVID-19菌株(Omicron变体)的保护,有感染的危险.当比较没有COVID-19的接种疫苗参与者和有COVID-19的参与者的抗体滴度时,感染参与者接种疫苗后抗体的变化显着降低。具有合并症和特定条件的个体具有较低的抗体水平。
    This study evaluated the immune response to vaccination against COVID-19 in 534 healthcare frontline workers in Vilnius, Lithuania. The incidence of COVID-19 was reduced significantly after vaccination started in the healthcare sector. SARS-CoV-2 antibodies were detected in groups V-VII and this level of antibodies was found to be effective in preventing COVID-19. Sustained immune response was achieved after two vaccination doses, which remained stable for up to 6 months. After the booster dose, antibody levels remained high for an additional 12 months. Although SARS-CoV-2 antibody levels decreased after 6 months, even lower levels of antibodies provided protection against the Delta strain. The booster dose distributed the antibody titer in the high-level antibody groups, offering maximum protection at 12 months. However, even individuals with high antibody titers were observed to contract COVID-19 after vaccination with a booster dose and 6 months in the presence of the Omicron strain. Unfortunately, high levels of antibodies did not provide protection against the new strain of COVID-19 (the Omicron variant), posing a risk of infection. When comparing the antibody titer of vaccinated participants without COVID-19 and those with COVID-19, the change in antibodies after vaccination was significantly lower in infected participants. Individuals with comorbidities and specific conditions had lower antibody levels.

    像许多其他国家一样,加拿大的医疗保健服务面临着许多组织变革,其主要目标是用更少的钱做更多的事情。在不同的医疗保健网络中采取的方法带来了魁北克医疗保健设施的改革,导致多次合并,取消1000多个管理职位。因此,这使其余管理人员的工作量逐渐增加。关于工作场所心理健康的研究主要集中在劳动力上,而通常忽略了管理人员。然而,研究表明,工作量是管理者的风险因素。因此,我们研究的目标是(1)更好地理解构成经理工作量的要素和影响其的因素;(2)确定经理用来处理工作量的应对策略。
    采用定性方法,我们通过绑架方法分析了61次半结构化访谈,利用不同的框架进行数据分析。参与者来自同一魁北克医疗机构。
    我们的研究结果与工作量是一个需要进行全面分析的多方面现象这一观点相一致。我们为医疗保健网络管理人员提出的工作负载映射框架可以精确定位那些导致其工作负载负担的因素。最终,这种工作量会对员工的心理健康产生不利影响。
    总而言之,这项研究采用整体方法全面考察工作量,能够更全面地理解这种现象。它还允许确定管理人员用来处理其工作量的应对策略。最后,我们的研究结果可以为旨在通过利用我们已经确定的具体要素解决魁北克医疗网络管理人员工作量问题的干预措施提供有价值的指导.
    UNASSIGNED: Like many other countries, healthcare services in Canada face numerous organizational changes with the main objective of doing more with less. The approach taken within different healthcare networks has brought about a reform in healthcare facilities in Quebec, leading to several mergers and eliminating over 1,000 managerial positions. As a result, this has placed a progressively heavier workload on the shoulders of the remaining managers. Research on mental health in the workplace has mainly focused with the workforce and generally neglects managers. However, studies have shown that workload is a risk factor for managers. Therefore, the objectives of our study are to (1) better understand the elements that make up a manager\'s workload and the factors that influence it and (2) identify the coping strategies used by managers to deal with their workloads.
    UNASSIGNED: Employing a qualitative approach, we analyzed 61 semistructured interviews through an abductive method, utilizing diverse frameworks for data analysis. The participants came from the same Quebec healthcare establishment.
    UNASSIGNED: Our findings align with the notion that workload is a multifaceted phenomenon that warrants a holistic analysis. The workload mapping framework we propose for healthcare network managers enables pinpointing those factors that contribute to the burden of their workload. Ultimately, this workload can detrimentally impact the psychological wellbeing of employees.
    UNASSIGNED: In conclusion, this study takes a comprehensive look at workload by using a holistic approach, enabling a more comprehensive understanding of this phenomenon. It also allows for the identification of coping strategies used by managers to deal with their workloads. Finally, our results can provide valuable guidance for the interventions aimed at addressing workload issues among healthcare network managers in Quebec by utilizing the specific elements we have identified.

    仆人式领导作为一种可行的领导模式,能够在日益复杂的医疗保健系统中带来积极的变化,在学者和从业者中得到了越来越多的考虑。医疗保健中越来越多的仆人式领导文献需要进行综合研究工作,以提供现有研究的整体情况。这篇系统的综述旨在综合仆人式领导的概念化,理论框架,测量工具,和法理网络(前身,调解员,结果,和主持人)与先前的医疗保健研究相关。对55项相关的医疗保健特定概念和实证研究的系统综合表明,仆人式领导在培养致力于实现医疗保健卓越绩效的员工队伍方面发挥着至关重要的作用。审查发现,全球仆人领导能力量表是医疗保健行业特定研究中最常用的仆人领导能力指标。此外,社会交换理论是解释仆人式领导对特定利益变量影响的主导支撑机制。研究结果进一步表明,仆人式领导与医疗保健中一系列有价值的个人和组织成果有着积极的关系。我们的审查有助于公务员领导理论和实践的发展,通过确定特定部门的研究在医疗保健领域。最后,我们通过提供一个详细的全景为未来的医疗保健特定的仆人领导研究在潜在的主题方面,方法的严谨,在先前的研究中,较少探索变量。
    Servant leadership has received a growing consideration among scholars and practitioners as a viable leadership model capable of bringing positive changes in the increasingly complex healthcare system. The increasing servant leadership literature in healthcare requires an integrated research work that provides a holistic picture of the existing studies. This systematic review aims to synthesize servant leadership conceptualizations, theoretical frameworks, measurement tools, and nomological networks (antecedents, mediators, outcomes, and moderators) associated with prior research in healthcare. A systematic synthesis of 55 pertinent healthcare-specific conceptual and empirical studies demonstrated that servant leadership assumes a crucial role in developing a committed workforce that contributes towards the achievement of performance excellence in healthcare. The review uncovers that the Global Servant Leadership Scale is the most utilized measure of servant leadership in sector-specific studies in healthcare. Moreover, social exchange theory is the dominant underpinning mechanism explaining the influence of servant leadership on specific variables of interest. The findings further revealed that servant leadership has a positive relationship with a range of valued individual and organizational outcomes in healthcare. Our review contributes to the development of servant leadership theory and practice through ascertaining sector-specific studies in the territory of healthcare. We finally conclude by providing a detailed panorama for future healthcare-specific servant leadership research in terms of potential topics, methodological rigor, and less explored variables in prior studies.

    生活质量(QOL)是基于一个人对生活中相对于一个人的目标的位置的感知,期望,标准,和担忧。它也受到一个人的文化和价值体系的影响,工作流,和工作场所的情况;反过来,QOL影响一个人能够提供的服务质量。在这项研究中,我们的目标是在COVID-19大流行的第三年末报告牙科和护理学者的生活质量和健康状况。有几项关于COVID-19大流行对卫生专业人员(护士和牙医)的影响的研究,但重要的是要调查他们三年后的生活质量;此外,关于学术人员的知识非常有限。世界卫生组织生活质量BREF量表(WHOQOL-BREF)工具,记录身体,心理,社会,和生活质量的环境维度,被使用。WHOQOL-BREF在两步设计和验证程序中使用精神指导/指导方法进行了修改。为这项研究设计的改良SHQOL-BREF(精神医疗保健版本)在2023年4月至6月期间上传并在线填写。雅典国立大学和Kapodistrian大学牙科部门(44.2%)和护理部门(55.8%)的工作人员(N=120,女性75%)匿名参加。与社会关系(M=69分)相比,身体健康方面的生活质量报告较高(M=72.2分),心理健康(M=65分),和环境(M=59分)(以0-100量表报告的分数)。总的来说,QOL被评为66分,而对健康的满意度为72分。工作满意度(M1=3.2)和灵性(M2=3.0)在5分制的中等水平上报告,而个人信念和价值观的报道水平较高(M3=4.0)。QOL的四个领域与工作满意度相关,个人信仰,和灵性。参与者年龄对身体健康(F(3.97)=2.89,p<0.05,η2p=0.08)和对环境(F(3.97)=2.80,p<0.05,η2p=0.08)有明显的中等强度影响,婚姻状况对社会关系有显著影响(F(1.97)=9.66,p<0.05,η2p=0.09)。已婚参与者报告的QOL水平始终高于单身参与者,对于所有年龄组。该部门对社会关系有显著的中度影响(F(1.97)=5.10,p<0.05,η2p=0.05),教育对心理健康有显著的中强效应(F(2.97)=3.74,p<0.05,η2p=0.07)。与受教育程度较低的人相比,这两个部门的博士学位参与者的心理健康水平更高。此外,与护理部相比,来自牙科部的参与者报告了所有教育组的社会关系QOL水平较高.总的来说,根据我们的发现,博士参与者的心理健康状况普遍较好。40岁以下的人的身体健康水平和环境生活质量较高,虽然已婚参与者和牙科部门的参与者的社交互动水平高于护理部的参与者。应在COVID-19大流行后对牙科和护理学术人员进行可持续性和生活质量计划的战略规划,以提高韧性和生活质量分数。提高学术人员的生活质量对于在大学开展健康促进活动至关重要,并有助于提高员工和学生的表现。
    Quality of life (QOL) is based on one\'s perception of one\'s position in life with respect to one\'s goals, expectations, standards, and concerns. It is also influenced by one\'s culture and value system, workflow, and workplace situation; in turn, QOL influences the quality of service one is able to provide. In this study, we aim to report on dental and nursing academics\' QOL and wellbeing at the end of the third year of the COVID-19 pandemic. There are several studies on the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on health professionals (nurses and dentists), but it is important to investigate their quality of life three years later; furthermore, knowledge about academic staff is very limited. The World Health Organization Quality of Life-BREF Scale (WHOQOL-BREF) tool, recording the physical, psychological, social, and environmental dimensions of QOL, was used. The WHOQOL-BREF was modified using a spiritual coaching/mentoring approach in a two-step design and validation procedure. The modified SHQOL-BREF (Spiritual Healthcare version) designed for this study was uploaded and filled in online during April-June 2023. The staff (N = 120, 75% female) of the Departments of Dentistry (44.2%) and Nursing (55.8%) of the National and Kapodistrian University of Athens participated anonymously. QOL in terms of physical health was reported at a higher level (M = 72.2 points) compared to social relationships (M = 69 points), psychological health (M = 65 points), and environment (M = 59 points) (scores reported on a 0-100 scale). Overall, QOL was rated at 66 points, while satisfaction with one\'s health was at 72 points. Job satisfaction (M1 = 3.2) and spirituality (M2 = 3.0) were reported at a medium level on a five-point scale, while personal beliefs and values were reported at a high level (M3 = 4.0). The four areas of QOL are associated with job satisfaction, personal beliefs, and spirituality. Participant age presented a significant moderate-strong effect on physical health (F (3.97) = 2.89, p < 0.05, η2p = 0.08) and on the environment (F (3.97) = 2.80, p < 0.05, η2p = 0.08), and marital status had a significant effect on social relationships (F (1.97) = 9.66, p < 0.05, η2p = 0.09). Married participants reported consistently higher levels of QOL compared to single participants, for all age groups. The department had a significant moderate effect on social relationships (F (1.97) = 5.10, p < 0.05, η2p = 0.05), and education had a significant moderate-strong effect on psychological health (F (2.97) = 3.74, p < 0.05, η2p = 0.07). PhD-level participants in both departments presented higher levels of psychological health compared to those with lower educational levels. Also, participants from the Department of Dentistry reported higher levels of social relationship QOL in all educational groups compared to the Department of Nursing. Overall, according to our findings, PhD participants generally had better psychological health. Those under 40 years of age had higher levels of physical health and environmental quality of life, while married participants and those from the Department of Dentistry had higher levels of social interactions than those from the Department of Nursing. Strategic planning on sustainability and QOL initiatives should be introduced after the COVID-19 pandemic for dental and nursing academic personnel to promote resilience and QOL scores. Enhancing the QOL of academic staff is essential for developing health promotion activities at universities and can help boost performance among staff and students.
