Hospital Work

A iluminação artificial e natural de hospitais é fundamental para o correto desempenho da atividade laboral e recuperação dos  pacientes. No ambiente hospitalar a questão da iluminação deve ser atendida adequadamente em todas as alas de  atendimento, uma vez que a visualização auxilia no correto diagnóstico, procedimento  cirúrgico, leitura e interpretação de resultados de análises laboratoriais e consequentemente de posologias  medicamentosas. O presente estudo teve como objetivo analisar por meio da técnica de luminotécnica a  adequação dos índices de iluminância de um hospital localizado no estado de Rondônia, o qual baseou-se na realização de visita in loco e avaliação dos índices de iluminância de diferentes setores hospitalar com o auxílio  de um luxímetro. Em comparação com a norma NBR 8995:2013, que trata de valores para cada tipo de ambiente, podemos identificar pontos estudados fora dos valores ótimos estabelecidos pela norma vigente, sendo  estes, o posto de enfermagem da ala de ortopedia, sala de triagem, atendimento odontológico e de dispensação de  medicamentos. Contudo novas averiguações devem ser realizadas para que se tenha um fator conclusivo, pois  existem algumas variáveis como clima, horário, a inativação de algumas lâmpadas, obstrução de janelas e as  condições de manutenção e tempo de uso das luminárias que devem ser avaliadas e correlacionadas.

The research is devoted to the suppliers influence on hospital work on the example of Moscow public procurement in hospitals. An agency model defining the hospital interaction stages with suppliers were constructed. Using the descriptive statistics method and graphical data analysis, procurement was considered with the author’s database including 512 681 contracts of 1,2 trillion rubles for 2011-2019. The supplier’s work strategies and their fallouts for the services were emphasized. The criteria the suppliers must have to the contract execution were developed. The hypothesis was tested that suppliers selected in a competitive way ensure the effective procurement for hospitals. The empirical analysis showed that drug procurement had a strong competition at auctions and budget savings. The findings concluded that the suppliers play various roles in hospital work. The favourable situation is that the supplier fulfills the contract delivering quality procurement at an affordable price, in full and due time.

Responsible Action

The article aims to analyze the interface of reflexivity, knowledge and ecologic awareness in the context of hospital work, based on data collected in a qualitative case study carried out at a public hospital. Field observation data and interviews are discussed in the light of sociologic and philosophic references. Workers expressed the interface between knowledge and action, in which there is a cycle of lack of knowledge, automatism in the actions and lack of environmental awareness, posing limits to individual awareness and to responsibility towards environmental preservation. Increased debate and education, including the environmental issue, are needed in the context of hospital work. Although hospital work is reflexively affected by the environmental problem, that does not guarantee the reorientation of practices and responsible action towards the environment.

Stress Inventory

This cross-sectional, analytical and correlational study investigated the existence of Burnout based on a sample of 149 nurses of a university tertiary hospital from October to December 2008 and correlate Burnout with stressors in the hospital work environment. The Maslach Burnout Inventory, the Nurses’ Stress Inventory and a questionnaire to characterize the subjects were applied. The results indicated the presence of Burnout in 7.3% of nurses (quartile) and 10.22% (tercile), and also a correlation among the inventories’ domains. Vulnerability to this type of illness among nurses was increased by stress experienced in the work environment.

Hospital Work

This chapter discusses the significance of the hospital as a social institution. It is one of the most complex of social institutions — an institution which in recent years has grown immensely in its complexities, and to which scholars have added newer complications as a result of the development of the National Health Service. Now, in this situation, the chapter suggests three main dangers. The first danger is that increasing complexity in structure, functions, and administration can lead to increasing economic and social costs without a proportional rise in value rendered to the community. The second danger is that the ends or aims of hospital work may be obscured by excessive preoccupation with means. The third danger is represented by scientific and technological advance.

Teaching Rounds

An unusual version of liaison psychiatry is described in which the object of the liaison is the practicing physician in the hospital setting. Hospital work rounds were used as teaching rounds at frequent intervals over a relatively long time span. The paper demonstrates the usefulness and feasibility of such a project. The processes and principles of teaching psychological medicine in this way are described and exemplified.
