ABSTRACTConsidering the importance of getting prepared for biological accidents and emergencies caused by the spread of biological agents, it seems necessary to design and codify a specific structural model for the establishment of temporary medical centers and hospitals. The present study was designed to provide a structural model of temporary medical centers in biological emergencies. This is a mixed-method study devised to present a model for the establishment of temporary medical centers. Multi-criteria decision-making methods were implemented in the quantitative section. Multi-criteria decision-making (MCDM) techniques, including Shannon entropy and TOPSIS, were used in this study to prioritize the components. The forms related to multi-criteria decision-making were designed by researchers according to the initial model, which were then completed by 15 experts. Also, 23 structural components of the model were prioritized and classified into four main categories (effective management, resources, infrastructure, and ideas). The categories were prioritized in terms of conceptual relevance as effective management, resources, infrastructure, and ideas, respectively. The results of this study can help to design temporary medical centers and manage biological emergencies more effectively in the future.KEYWORDS: Temporary medical centersbiological emergencydisasterrisk AcknowledgementsThe authors are very thankful to all the participants of the interview process for giving their valuable time and effort.

ABSTRACTIntroduction Falls are a significant threat to older adults' health. The home falls and accidents screening tool (HOME FAST) was introduced as a screening tool for identifying hazards inside the home. This study aimed to investigate the ability of this tool to predict older adults at risk of falls.Materials and methods This study analyzed cross-sectional data from the Ardakan Cohort Study on Aging (ACSA) participants. HOME FAST was collected through home visits by interviewers. Fall history during the last 12 months was collected as a self-report. The discrimination was assessed by the receiver operating characteristic curve.Results A total of 4990 adults older than 50 participated in the current study, of which 47.65% were female, and the mean age was 61.5. Among them, 19.9% reported falls during the last year. The mean HOME FAST score was 6.2 for non-fallers, 6.5 for one-time fallers, and 6.4 for multipletime fallers (P = 0.047). The HOME FAST score over the optimal cut-point (five) was not associated with increased fall risk in the multivariate model.Conclusion Based on the findings, the HOME FAST score failed to be a screening tool for falls in the Iranian population. However, further prospective studies are required to investigate this point.KEYWORDS: HOME FASTaccidental fallsolder adultsgeriatricsfalling Disclosure statementNo potential conflict of interest was reported by the author(s).Additional informationFundingThe Iranian Ministry of Health and Medical Education has contributed to the funding used in the PERSIAN cohorts through grant number 700/151.

ABSTRACTBackground Burnout and social support have been widely examined, but how these factors relate to preventive behaviours against COVID-19 has not yet been studied. This study investigated the relationship among burnout, perceived social support and cognitive factors affecting preventive behaviours of healthcare workers (HCWs) during the pandemic period.Methods A survey was conducted with 360 HCWs working in a large public hospital in Turkey during the pandemic. The survey included the Maslach Burnout Inventory, the Multidimensional Scale of Perceived Social Support, and two subscales of the Affecting Factors on Preventive Behaviours of COVID-19 Scale, which is based on the Protection Motivation Theory. Data were analysed using descriptive statistics, between-group comparison tests, and binary logistic regression.Results Of the HCWs, 38.1% reported high burnout, 20.3% inadequate social support, 51.4% low perceived self-efficacy, and 52.2% low protection motivation. Working in COVID-19 wards and having low perceived self-efficacy increased burnout (OR:1.96, 1.62; P < 0.050). Receiving adequate social support and higher protection motivation increased the perceived self-efficacy (OR:2.03, 4.92; P < 0.025). Lower education and higher perceived self-efficacy increased protection motivation (OR:2.32, 4.24; P < 0.025).Conclusion The results revealed that burnout, protection motivation, and perceived self-efficacy were significantly affected by some risk factors that policymakers should address.KEYWORDS: Healthcare workersburnoutsocial supportprotection motivationcognitive modelsCOVID-19 wards AcknowledgementsThe authors would like to thank all the HCWs who participated or helped in the achievement of this study during the challenging COVID-19 period.

ABSTRACTPatient experience of healthcare is increasingly recognized as a key dimension of healthcare quality, alongside clinical effectiveness and patient safety. While the focus of many developed countries is increasingly shifting from patient satisfaction to monitoring and evaluating patients’ care experiences, the concentration of many sub-Saharan African (SSA) countries is still on the evaluation of patient satisfaction with care. The aim of this paper, therefore, is to provide a narrative overview of patient experience of care (PEC) research and initiatives in SSA. A non-systematic literature search for relevant published and unpublished records was conducted on five electronic databases: Medline/PubMed, Scopus, Web of Science, Google Scholar, and African Index Medicus (AIM). The health ministry/department websites of the various SSA countries were also searched manually for additional information on nationally established patient experience survey programs. This review has established that few individual PEC research activities have been undertaken in SSA, and these have been concentrated in Ethiopia and South Africa. It could, therefore, be concluded, based on the available evidence, that PEC is under-researched in the SSA region. This paper has provided a broad perspective on the concept of PEC within the SSA region.KEYWORDS: Patient experiencepatient satisfactionhealth system responsivenesshealthcare qualitySub-Saharan Africa Disclosure statementNo potential conflict of interest was reported by the author(s).Additional informationNotes on contributorsEmmanuel KumahEmmanuel Kumah is a healthcare management consultant and an assistant professor at the Department of Health Administration and Education, Faculty of Science Education, University of Education, Winneba, Ghana.

摘要与临床有效性和患者安全一样,患者的医疗体验越来越被认为是医疗质量的关键因素。虽然许多发达国家的重点日益从患者满意度转向监测和评估患者的护理体验,但许多撒哈拉以南非洲(SSA)国家的重点仍然是评估患者对护理的满意度。因此,本文的目的是提供SSA患者护理体验(PEC)研究和倡议的叙述概述。在Medline/PubMed、Scopus、Web of Science、Google Scholar和African Index Medicus (AIM) 5个电子数据库中对相关已发表和未发表的文献进行非系统检索。各SSA国家的卫生部/部门网站也进行了人工搜索,以获取关于国家建立的患者体验调查项目的额外信息。这项审查已经确定,非洲南部很少进行个别的经济合作研究活动,这些活动集中在埃塞俄比亚和南非。因此,根据现有的证据可以得出结论,非洲南部地区对经济合作的研究不足。本文提供了一个广阔的视角,在SSA区域内PEC的概念。关键词:患者体验患者满意度卫生系统响应性卫生保健质量撒哈拉以南非洲披露声明作者未报告潜在利益冲突。semmanuel Kumah是一名医疗保健管理顾问,也是加纳温内巴教育大学科学教育学院卫生管理和教育系的助理教授。他在以患者为中心的护理领域发表了大量文章。

ABSTRACTThis study objective is twofold: First, we investigate the post-Covid-19 medical tourists’ hospitalization procedures. Next, we explore the post-Covid-19 medical tourism service provider’s challenges from the immediate healthcare stakeholders and agencies insights and perspectives. This study utilizes the Business Continuity Management (BCM) model as the grounded theory. Using the qualitative method, ten informants from the senior-ranking medical tourism personnel related to the medical tourism industry were interviewed. The interview data were transcribed and analysed using thematic analysis. This research manifestly revealed: (i) uncertain standard operating procedures; (ii) limited awareness of the availability of treatment among medical tourists; (iii) overreliance on a single medical tourist’s origin; (iv) reluctance rising from risks of travelling are some of the challenges medical tourism service providers faced post-Covid-19 pandemic. This research is among the first to reveal uncertain standard operating procedures, limited awareness of the availability of medical treatment, reliance on a single medical tourist’s origin, reluctance and risks of travelling are the main threats that affect medical tourism service providers.KEYWORDS: Medical tourismpost-COVID-19policymakersqualitativebusiness continuity management AcknowledgementsThe author wishes to express his gratitude to the Universiti Teknologi MARA for awarding the fundamental research grant, which facilitated the development of this manuscript.

ABSTRACTAs in every sector, organizational management in the health sector plays an important role in the institution being successful and achieving its goals. Health care is a phenomenon that reminds individuals of the need for collective work. The aim of this study was to determine the relationship between the perceptions of mushroom management and collective justice in healthcare organizations. The sample for the study, using the relational survey model, consisted of 410 healthcare professionals. The “Mushroom Management Scale” and “Collective Justice Scale” were used to collect data. SEM path analysis revealed that there was a significant negative relationship between the mushroom management scale sub-dimensions and collective justice variable. In addition, a significant effect was found between these variables. Based on the demographic data of the participants, mushroom management sub-dimensions and collective justice perceptions of participants differed significantly according to the institution they worked in. It is thought that health institution managers who are transparent, honest and open, especially in information sharing, instead of using mushroom management style, who include employees in decision-making processes, and who adopt a more sharing management style will increase employees' trust in the organization and management as well as their perceptions of collective justice.KEYWORDS: Mushroom managementcollective justicehealth workerhealth managementknowledge sharing Disclosure statementNo potential conflict of interest was reported by the author(s).Additional informationFundingThe author(s) reported there is no funding associated with the work featured in this article.Notes on contributorsHatice DemirHatice Demir, Ordu University, Institute of Health Sciences, graduated with a master's degree in Health Management.Taşkın KiliçTaşkın Kiliç is a Professor and Distinguished Academician in the field of Health Management at Ordu University, Faculty of Health Sciences.

ABSTRACTBackground Academic burnout is a concern among students. The research aimed to depict the current situation and examine several factors associated with academic burnout among students of Hanoi Medical University in 2023.Methods A cross sectional study was carried out on a sample of 300 randomly selected students from Hanoi Medical University. The study employed demographic questionnaires and the Maslach Burnout Inventory Student Survey (MBI-SS) to assess the level of burnout. Statistical analyses, including descriptive statistics and regression analysis, were performed to evaluate burnout-related factors.Results The study findings revealed that the overall prevalence of burnout was 16.33%. Factors associated with burnout syndrome included being female (OR = 0.42, 95% CI 0.19 −0.93) with a lower level of burnout than males, fourth-year students (OR = 0.06, 95% CI 0.01 −0.72) had a lower level of burnout compared to other academic years, and students pursuing pre-clinical courses (OR = 4.07, 95% CI 1.17 −14.29) had a higher level of burnout.Conclusion The study findings highlight that academic burnout is a noteworthy issue among students. Examining burnout-related factors, including gender, academic year, and field of study, can assist universities in developing specific interventions to support students in managing burnout and enhancing the quality of education.KEYWORDS: Academic burnoutmedical studentthe Maslach burnoutFactors associated with burnoutstudent's burnout Disclosure statementNo potential conflict of interest was reported by the author(s).Correction StatementThis article has been republished with minor changes.

The global prevalence of obesity has almost tripled since 1975 and has become a major public health concern in the United Arab Emirates (UAE). Although physicians are considered as essential role players in the prevention and management of obesity, their perspectives towards obesity management still remain unknown in the UAE. Accordingly, this study aimed to assess physicians’ attitudes and practices towards obesity management and prevention in the UAE using a qualitative research design. Face-to-face interviews, with a convenience sample of 15 health care practitioners from primary care clinics in Al-Ain City, Abu Dhabi, were employed during January–March 2019. Inductive thematic analysis was performed to identify main emerging themes and subthemes. Three major themes, namely beliefs and knowledge about obesity and its management, attitudes toward weight control, and current practices in relation to obesity management in primary care clinics, emerged. The results revealed that weight management is considered essential for all those with high body mass index but is suboptimal in primary care settings. Cultural misconceptions among patients regarding weight and lack of appropriate follow-up constitute major barriers to its management. As obesity is burdensome, its management is crucial and can be enhanced by multidisciplinary approach and unification of guidelines.
