INTRODUCTION: Healthcare providers (HCPs) though stood as front-liners during the crisis situation were not themselves immune to the psychological consequences due to COVID-19. The present study aimed to find the prevalence of perceived stress on COVID-19 pandemic and its associated factors among health care providers in Rupandehi district health institutions. MATERIAL AND METHODS: This  cross- sectional study was conducted among the HCPs in the institutions of Rupandehi district in Western  Nepal, from August to November, 2020. Total 126 subjects were included and probability sampling technique was applied for sample collection. After written consent from participants socio-demographic data were collected and Perceived Stress Scale (PSS-10) was applied. RESULTS: The study showed the prevalence of perceived stress in COVID-19 HCPs found to be 65.1% considering score 20 as cut-off. Age, work place, precaution measures taken and staying with family were statistically significant with the perceived stress level (p<0.05). Multivariate logistic regression showed perceived stress level had statistically significant association with precaution means and work place of HCPs. Healthcare providers who had unsatisfactory precaution means followed at work were 2.66 times more likely to have perceived stress as compared to satisfactory precaution means as adjusted odds ratio (AOR) = 2.66 (1.09-6.51). Healthcare providers who stayed with family members were 2.28 times more likely to have perceived stress level as AOR=2.28 (0.94-5.52). CONCLUSION: The study showed increased prevalence of perceived stress among HCPs during the initial stage of COVID‐19 pandemic in Nepal. Considering the findings, there is urgent need to develop and implement appropriate stress management and coping strategies to the target group.

BACKGROUND Few of the improving men's health programs are based on masculinity values, men's preferences, and interests. Studies show that programs prepared using gender-specific approaches are more effective in men's health and provide more positive contributions to men's health. Addressing the immigrant men's health and male-specific health issues in this program shows that this program is gender-specific. OBJECTIVE The study purpose of examining the effect of the “IHAPIM” program on health perceptions, health responsibilities, perceived stress level, attitudes towards utilizing health care services, and the types of coping strategies of immigrant men. METHODS We make an effort to report this randomized controlled trial to comply with the SPIRIT. The population size consists of 95 immigrant men who live in the north of Turkey. The study, between March 2020–March 2021, was held in the two districts predominantly immigrants live. The participants were randomly divided into the experimental and control group. The experimental (N = 49) received a short‐term IHAPIM program (5 weeks, 1 hr per week, 10 hr in total). Each group’s intervention performed by researchers. The immigrant men’ health perceptions, health responsibilities, perceived stress level, attitudes towards utilizing health care services, and the types of coping strategies measured before “IHAPIM” program performed and three month after “IHAPIM” program performed. Measurements were obtained during pre-and post‐test from the experimental and control group (N = 46). In this study, participants and statistician who conducted the research blinded. RESULTS The results showed that both the levels of health perceptions, health responsibilities, perceived stress level, attitudes towards utilizing health care services, and the types of coping strategies were significantly different between the two study groups (p < 0.05). CONCLUSIONS This study is anticipated to provide a piece of significant evidence of the health promotion interventions for immigrants men performed by researchers and efficacy of health perceptions, health responsibilities, perceived stress level, attitudes towards utilizing health care services, and the types of coping strategies in immigrant men group. It is assumed that health promotion interventions specific to male gender and sensitivity to immigrants' language lead to beneficial results on health perceptions, health responsibilities, perceived stress level, attitudes towards utilizing health care services, and the types of coping strategies in immigrant men. Suppose the “IHAPIM” program perform in practice by public health nurses. It can be effectively improved immigrant men’s health variables such as health perceptions, health responsibilities, perceived stress level, attitudes towards utilizing health care services, and the types of coping strategies.

Part Time

Background: Future health-care professionals face stress both during education and in later professional life. Next to educational trainings, many students are forced to assume part-time employment. Objective: Applying the Job Demands-Resources Model to the educational context, we investigate which role part-time employment plays next to health-care professional students’ education-specific demands and resources in the prediction of perceived stress. Method: In this cross-sectional study, data from N = 161 health-care students were analysed, testing moderation models. Results: Education-specific demands were associated with higher and education-specific resources with lower amounts of perceived stress. Part-time employment functioned as moderator, i.e. demands were less associated with stress experiences in students who were employed part-time. Conclusion: Identifying part-time employment as a resource rather than a demand illustrates the need to understand students’ individual influences on stress. Both educators and students will benefit from reflecting these resources to support students’ stress management.

In Myanmar, the main challenge to provide quality healthcare by Universal Health Care approach is documented as low health services coverage with substantial wealth-based inequality. To achieve the effective health care system, strong medical care system is essential. Understanding on challenges and needs in provision of medical services among patients and health care providers is critical to provide quality care with desirable outcomes. The aim of the study was to explore the patients’ and health care providers’ perceptions on the challenges in provision of medical services at the Mandalay General Hospital. This was a qualitative study conducted at the tertiary level hospital (Mandalay General Hospital). The data was collected by using focus group discussions and in-depth interviews with hospitalized patients or attendants, healthcare providers such as medical doctors, nurses, laboratory scientists and hospital administrators in March 2017. The qualitative data was analyzed using themes by themes matrix analysis. Most patients were satisfied with the care provided by the doctors because they believed that they received quality care. However, some patients complained about long waiting time for elective operation, congested conditions in the ward, burden for investigations outside the hospital for urgent needs and impolite manners of general workers. Healthcare providers reported that they had heavy workload due to limited human and financial resources in the hospital, poor compliances with hospital rules and regulation among patients and attendants, and inefficient referral practices from other health facilities. Other challenges experienced by healthcare providers were lack of ongoing training to improve knowledge and skills, limited health infrastructure and inadequate medicinal supplies. The findings highlighted the areas needed to be improved to provide quality health care at the tertiary level hospital. The challenges and problems encountered in this hospital can be improved by allocating adequate financial and human resources. The systematic referral system and hospital management guidelines are needed to reduce workload of health staff.

We assessed neuroticism, perceived stress, and work-related factors among obstetrician-gynecologists (ob-gyns), and examined the relationships between these variables. Surveys were sent to 500 physician members of the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists and we received 287 (57.4%) completed responses. Analyses included descriptive statistics and linear regressions. Ob-gyns reported high levels of perceived stress. After controlling for neuroticism, variables that significantly predicted stress levels included average hours worked, perception of working too many hours, colleague support for work–home balance, isolation due to gender/cultural differences, and perception of workplace control. Because these work-related factors are linked to stress even when controlling for neuroticism, administrators and physicians may consider whether any of these factors are modifiable to mitigate physician stress. This in turn may affect physicians' own health and the quality of care patients receive.
