The focus of the study was technical and specialist nurses employed in Egypt’s Menoufia University. The study's data was collected from 240 participants. The results from the study show that the sub-dimensions of workplace bullying and correlations with employee loyalty are moderate in the negative direction. On the other hand, it has also been concluded that the perceptions of workplace bullying sub-dimensions explain 23.8 percent of the aggregate variance in employee loyalty. The analysis of the teats results of regression coefficient regression model is conducted, it can be noted that as the levels of workplace bullying increase in the workplace, the perception of employee loyalty statistics decreases. When it comes to comparative importance predictor variables on the levels of employee loyalty shows that the leading factor is attacks on health, the second is attacks on self-expression, the third is attacks on social relations, and the last is attacks on reputation.

The Impact

Introduction: Psoriasis is a chronic skin disease characterized by scaly patches affecting approximately 2-5% of the population. The disease has a negative impact on quality of life and, therefore, psoriatic patients often develop depression. Our work deals with quality of life and depression in psoriasis sufferrers and strives to determine the correlation between their quality of life and depression. Methods: The research took place in the University Hospital Olomouc in 2017 and used questionnaires WHOQOL-BREF and BDI-II. 50 patients with psoriasis were chosen randomly. To process the data we used Mann-Whitney test (the level of significance = 5%) and Spearman´s correlation coefficient (the level of significance = 1%). Results: The results proved that psoriasis has a significant impact on quality of life. The scores for the overall life quality as well as for individual domains were significantly lower in psoriatic patients than in the control group (p<0.001). The degree of depression in patients with psoriasis showed statistically significant correlation in all domains of the quality of life. We proved negative correlation in the overall quality of life (rs =- 0.691**), physical condition (rs =-0.499**), social relations (rs =-0.546**), overall health (rs =-0.396**), and environment (rs =-0.386**). Conclusion: With regard to the ascertained negative correlation between psoriasis and depression and lower quality of life of the sufferers compared to the healthy population, it is essential for healthcare professionals to pay attention not only to somatic manifestations of the disease but also to the patients´ mental health.

OBJECTIVE: The aim of this study was to propose intervention strategies for the health of hospital-based nursing staff. METHOD: It was a field study, with a quantitative and qualitative approach, developed from data collected through the Monitoring System of Nursing Workers' Health in seven public and university hospitals of Brazil. Intervention strategies proposed considered regional specificities and the demands presented by professionals in each setting. RESULTS: The interventions were developed for: each workload to which nursing staff was exposed; processes of strain generated; and intervention strategies at the settings, according to the needs of the national scenario. CONCLUSION: Monitoring the health of nursing staff is a beginning point for building strategies directed at the health profile of each reality.

Abstract Purpose to compare the outcomes of Immediate versus Delayed prosthetic breast reconstruction. Together with highlighting the importance of immediate reconstruction when it is feasible. Materials and methods This was a prospective study that was held at ain shams university hospitals and Helwan university hospital. The study included 20 patients who were planned to undergo a mastectomy either unilateral or bilateral, patients were divided equally in to 2 groups, (Group A) had an immediate breast reconstruction using mammary implants, while (Group B) had a delayed breast reconstruction using tissue expander then replacing it after a few months with a mammary implant, and the post operative complications were compared against each other. Results Although the number of complications were more in (Group A), but statistically it was found that the rate of complications after immediate reconstruction was non significant from after delayed reconstruction. Conclusion both immediate and delayed mastectomy reconstruction provide substantial safety and quality of life benefits for women choosing these procedures. Furthermore, patients who postpone reconstruction after mastectomy due to personal preference or by medical necessity can be reassured that this approach is a safe alternative to immediate reconstruction and can provide equivalent quality of life and body image benefits.

Abstract Background Liquid discharges from hospitals (effluents) threaten the environment and are now a central concern of all stakeholders in the health system and those in the protection of the environment. The management of effluents is a major problem in developing countries. The objective of this study was to assess the quality of effluent management at the level of university hospital centers (CHU) in the Littoral region in Benin. Methods It was a cross-sectional, descriptive, evaluative study that took place in 2020 to assess the “structure”, “process” and “results” components according to standard thresholds (Bad: < 60%; Acceptable: [60–80% [and Good: ≥ 80%). Results In all the CHUs, all the components, as well as the overall quality of the management of hospital effluents, had a score between 0 and 60%, with an assessment deemed bad. The poor quality of the process highlighted the non-compliance with standards relating to the management of hospital liquid discharges. Several factors linked to the “structure”, “process” and “results” components at the same time explain this poor management of university hospitals effluents. Conclusion These effluents discharged without prior treatment into wastewater could constitute a source of dissemination of potentially pathogenic microorganisms. It is therefore important to develop methods for treating these effluents before they are released into the natural environment.

ABSTRACT Objectives: analyze the level of resilience of family caregivers of children and adolescents hospitalized for cancer treatment and associated factors. Methods: cross-sectional study, carried out in 2018, with 62 family caregivers in a university hospital in the state of Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil. The instruments CDRisc-10-Br, SRQ20, PSS-14 and WHOQOL-Bref were used to measure resilience, minor psychological disorders, stress, and quality of life, respectively. Inferential statistics were used. Results: female caregivers, married, with one child and who practice some predominated religion. They were classified as having a moderate level of resilience (48.4%); with suspicion for minor psychological disorders (45%) and high level of stress (41%). In terms of quality of life, they were satisfied in the Physical, Psychological and Social Relations domains; and dissatisfied in the Environment domain. Conclusions: there were direct weak to moderate correlations between the level of resilience and quality of life and inversely with stress and minor psychological disorders.

ABSTRACT Objective: To verify the age, nutritional status, and gait speed in hospitalized individuals, and their association with the quality of life of their caregivers. Methods: Observational cross-sectional study with 54 patients and their respective caretakers in a university hospital in the Brazilian Midwest. The analyses were carried out using the SPSS software, with p < 0.05. Results: The Social Relations domain had the highest mean score (71.45±18.64). The lowest score was in the Physical domain (57.80±12.01). According to a subjective nutritional evaluation, 72.2% presented some degree of malnutrition. Most were classified with low gait speeds (82%). There was a significant correlation between age and the Physical and General Quality of Life domains. The Environment domain was significantly correlated to the gait speed. Conclusion: The age and the gait speed of the patient were related to the quality of life of the caregiver, but the nutritional state was not affected.
