Official position of business owners regarding the behaviour of public health inspectors during performance of official control in public purpose venues

Public health inspectors are members of the health system of the community, who concentrate on prevention and prophylaxis of public health. They are government officials and as such it is not only necessary that they perform their duties conscientiously but also that they establish a socio-cultural model of behavior during the performance of official control.The aim of the study is to research attitudes of persons working in public purpose venues towards the behavior of PHIs (Public Health Inspectors) while performing official control.125 representatives of public purpose venues participated in the survey, of whom 45,6% were business operators and 54,4% – employees, divided into three groups according to the type of controlling agency. Half of the public officials “explain the rights and obligations“, while 48,8% do that „thoroughy and in detail“. Causes of conflict on behalf of PHIs according to 24,8% of respondents are the differences in interpretation of legislation by different inspectors, which leads to different requirements for the same thing. Over 1/3 assert that during control PHIs behave in a professional and responsible manner and are knowledgeable of the relevant legal provisions. The respondents (62,4%) view the conduct of PHIs as „lawful and impartial“. Nevertheless, the participants in the survey share recommendations for improvement of the efficacy of health control: additional professional education of civil servants, polite attitude, respect and provision of more information on PHIs’s behalf during control

Development of professional communication skills of the public health inspector in the training process In higher education institutions

Комуникативните умения и способността за правилното им използване са част от основните качества на бъдещите специалисти в областта на здравеопазването. Инспекторите по обществено здраве (ИОЗ) са членове на здравната система. Те са държавни служители и осъществяват контрол в обекти с обществено предназначение.Целта на разработката е да се направи анализ на възможностите за формиране на професионални комуникативни умения на ИОЗ в процеса на обучение във висшето училище.Основните комуникативни умения започват да се овладяват още в процеса на обучение и се доразвиват в трудовата дейност на работещите. Ефективното общуване изисква система от добре оформени информационни, възприемащи, интерактивни и специфични комуникативни способности. В дейността си здравните инспектори образоват и създават среди, които се поддържат от регулаторни стандарти и най-добри практики. Развиването на комуникативната компетентност на бъдещите инспектори се дължи на факта, че прилагането на държавен контрол, в основата на който е наблюдение, анализиране, организиране и провеждането на превантивни и противоепидемични мерки, включва интензивна комуникация с голям брой хора с етнически, полови, възрастови, социокултурни, професионални и индивидуални различия с различни нива на образование и информираност. Съгласно Наредбата за единните държавни изисквания за изучаваната специалност „Инспектор по обществено здраве” няма заложени задължителни учебни дисциплини, свързани с изграждане на комуникативни способности и умения на бъдещите специалисти. Комуникативните умения са ключов момент, на който понастоящем не се отделя достатъчно внимание. Необходимо е специализирано обучение, което да бъде заложено още в процеса на обучение във висшите училища.Communication skills and the ability to use them correctly are part of the core qualities of future healthcare professionals. Public health inspectors are members of the healthcare system. They are civil servants and exercise control in sites of public importance.The purpose of the article is to analyze the opportunities for the development of professional communication skills of the public health inspector in the training process in higher education institutions.The basic communication skills begin to be mastered during the education process and further developed in the practice of the professionals. Effective communication requires a system of well-formed information, perception, interactive and specific communication skills. In their activities, health inspectors educate and create environments that are supported by regulatory standards and best practices. The development of the communicative competence of future inspectors is due to the fact that the implementation of state control, the foundation of which is monitoring, analyzing, organizing and conducting preventive and anti-epidemic measures, involves intensive communication with a large number of people of ethnic, gender, age, socio-cultural, professional and individual differences with different levels of education and awareness. According to the Regulation on Uniform State Requirements for the major studied Public Health Inspector, there are no compulsory course units set up related to the development of communication skills and skills of the future specialists. Communication skills are a key point that is not given enough attention at the moment. There is a need for specialized training to be incorporated into the education process of higher education institution

Specificity of communication skills Of the public health inspector in a professional environment

Introduction: Daily activities and roles require Public Health Inspector (PHI) to possess excellent communication skills and competencies. The requirement is also imperative because of the special status he or she receives as a civil servant, namely the sanctionability of his or her conduct. Acquisition of specific communication skills would contribute to the effective exercise of PHI profession.Purpose: To identify PHI specific communication skills in the course of the work processMaterials and Methods: A qualitative method (in-depth interview) was used among 16 experts working in the system of a Regional Health Inspectorate (RHI)/ District Food Safety Directorate (DFSD) or other institution relevant to public health (PH). A quantitative method (a survey) was applied among 116 inspectors working in RHI in seven district cities, using a self- administered questionnaire consisting of 22 questions.Results: Variety of activities and situations in the daily life of PHIs was confirmed. About one third (32.6%) of inspectors are involved in conflict resolution situations, which also determines the position of PHI experts to "act as mediators". Over half of the respondents (56.9%) noted that communication skills with different social groups are needed.Conclusion: The results confirm the need for specific communication skills in the work of PHIs. Training planning is important to help them acquire these skills

Factors influencing upon the patient satisfaction during the hospitalization period

More often the patient estimates the medical activity and the relationships, in which he enters with the doctor and the nurse during the hospitalization period. The purpose of the investigation is to identify and analyse the factors, which influence upon the patient satisfaction during his stay in the department. The investigation is executed among 1054 patients, hospitalised in multiprofile hospitals for active treatment, situated in eight cities. The estimate of the different factors showed that with the increase of the hospitalisations number (up to the third hospitalisation) the patient satisfaction of the attitude of the doctor and nurse, the servicing and the nursing cares still increases, but the satisfaction regarding the necessary equipment, the obtained information and the medical supervision decreases. The patients, who live in villages, remain more satisfied unlike the people, who live in bigger cities. Regarding the education the patients, who have a higher educational degree and are younger, are more satisfied by the servicing and the cares in the department unlike the respect of their patient rights and the obtaining of regular information

Research on the period of adaptation to the work of the nurse in a hemodialysis center

Introduction: Labor adaptation is a long process of adjusting to the environment and familiarizing the newly arrived nurses with the specific professional activity in the ward. This is a period of getting used to the established rules and the team, there is a change in the views and behavior of the employees in a direction that corresponds to the external conditions.Aim: The aim of the study was to investigate the period of adaptation to the work of the nurse at a hemodialysis center.Materials and Methods: Nurses and physicians working in dialysis structures in 8 cities (Varna, Ruse, Dobrich, Burgas, Shumen, Razgrad, Targovishte and Silistra) were interviewed. The study was conducted in the period August 2014 - March 2018. Questionnaire method, literature analysis, documentary method were applied. Data were processed by statistical and graphical analysis.Results: The results of our study show that, according to both groups of respondents, the nurse adapts to working conditions in the Dialysis Unit from 6 months to 1 year after starting work in such a structure. The position of the physicians in our sample regarding the optimal time for nursing adaptation was statistically significant, and there was a significant correlation with their opinion on the role of nurses in providing healthcare related to patient independence (Contingency C = 0.570 ; p <0.05). The results of the present study showed that the adaptation time of nurses to work in a hemodialysis structure was inversely weakly correlated with their education. A statistically significant inversely moderate correlation between the time for adaptation of dialysis nurses and their opinion on the need for specific competencies of nurses working in such a structure was also demonstrated (Contingency's C = - 0.369, p <0.001).Conclusion: The study of the adaptation process is an important condition for optimizing the quality of medical services, as it significantly influences the personality of the healthcare professional. Difficult adaptation may be a prerequisite for increasing stress, reducing professional satisfaction, and may play a role in conflicts in practice. This, as well as the results of our study, gave us grounds for developing and proposing an adapted model for optimizing the period of adaptation to the work of the nurse in a hemodialysis center

CURRENT TRENDS IN THE PRACTICE OF LABORATORY MEDICINE.

The paper present the perspectives and the possible benefits of the POCT tests, conducted outside of the clinical laboratories. Laboratory tests are objective in their character, which is one of the main reasons for the constant increase in the number of laboratory tests. The fast development of the technology in clinical laboratories, leads to the constant introduction of new markers, as well as the methods and equipment for the establishment of their values. Moving the laboratory diagnostics closer to the patient’s location (point of care testing) is a new tendency in the policy of health care. The tendency may be applied and is expanding, because of the fast development of biotechnologies. In a worldwide scale, POCT is essential for the public health care
