Variables relacionadas con la reducción de la satisfacción de los usuarios de emergencias

The information received by patients about the severity of their condition, the type of tests to be performed, or the average waiting time in the service are factors that influence their degree of satisfaction and, therefore, their possible anger and/or aggressiveness. Users' discomfort can sometimes lead to violence towards health workers, and this, in turn, can lead to the commonly associated physical and psychological consequences. Our main objective is to explore the relationship between the waiting time, patients' perceived satisfaction with the service, as well as the other variables under study. We used a cross-sectional design was used to evaluate 320 hospital patients in the Region of Murcia (Spain). Our indicate that receiving information about their process, waiting time until the doctor's consultation, the degree of satisfaction with the professional, and the resolution of the doubts are predictors of the degree of overall patient satisfaction with the clinical experience.La información recibida por los pacientes sobre la gravedad de su condición, el tipo de pruebas a realizar o el tiempo promedio de espera en el servicio son factores que influyen en el grado de satisfacción. La incomodidad de los usuarios a veces puede conducir a la violencia hacia los trabajadores de salud, y esto, a su vez, a las consecuencias físicas y psicológicas comúnmente asociadas. Nuestro objetivo es explorar la relación entre el tiempo de espera, la satisfacción del paciente con el servicio y otras variables de interés. Se utilizó un diseño transversal para evaluar a 320 pacientes hospitalarios en la Región de Murcia (España). Los resultados indican que recibir información sobre su proceso, el tiempo de espera hasta la consulta, el grado de satisfacción con el profesional y la resolución de dudas son predictores del grado de satisfacción general del paciente con la experiencia clínica

Experiencia de innovación educativa con “Brainstorming” en la Universidad de Murcia

[SPA] En este trabajo analizamos la percepción de los estudiantes del Grado de Bioquímica, tras unas sesiones de “brainstorming”. La propuesta del equipo docente tenía como objetivo potenciar la participación del alumnado en equipo y mejorar su creatividad facilitando así los procesos de enseñanza-aprendizaje en la asignatura de Bioética y Biomedicina de la Universidad de Murcia. Hemos observado que era la primera vez que se aplicaba en estos alumnos esta técnica, a pesar de que el nuevo Espacio Europeo de Educación Superior (EEES) exige trabajar estas competencias en el alumnado para que les permitan posteriormente enfrentarse con éxito a su realidad profesional y personal. La mayoría de los alumnos encuestados valoraron muy positivamente la experiencia (70,6%). La eficacia de este método quedará contrastada con los resultados de la evaluación final de la asignatura que, dado que se basa en la capacidad de resolución de problemas y no en los conocimientos teórico-practico exclusivos, nos permitirá evaluar de forma objetiva nuestros resultados. El “brainstorming” es una estrategia de enseñanza-aprendizaje que permite por lo tanto mejorar la competencia del trabajo en equipo y el razonamiento crítico.[ENG] In this study we analyze the perceptions in students of Biochemistry, after a few sessions of "brainstorming ". The proposals of teacher team were enhancing student participation and improve team creativity thereby facilitating the teaching-learning in the subject of Bioethics and Biomedicine of the University of Murcia. We had observed that it was the first time I applied this technique in these students, even though the new European Higher Education Area (EHEA) required to work these skills in students to enable them to later cope successfully with their professional reality and personnel. Most students surveyed highly positive experience (70.6%). The effectiveness of this method will be contrasted with the results of the final evaluation of the course that since it is based on the ability to solve problems and not on the theoretical-practical exclusive knowledge allow us to objectively evaluate our results. The " brainstorming " is a teaching and learning strategy that allows therefore improves the skills of teamwork and critical thinking

Profiles of lateral violence in nursing personnel of the Spanish public health system

Background Workplace violence in healthcare settings has long been studied in scientific literature, particularly in the nursing profession. Research has explored mostly user violence probably for its high prevalence and impact on health and job satisfaction. Yet this focus may overshadow another dangerous type of workplace violence: coworker violence. Exerted by co-workers with similar status, lateral violence differs from that yielded by a co-worker with a higher rank, known as vertical. This study aims to deepen the knowledge about lateral violence perceived by nurses and its interaction with other variables commonly associated with workplace violence in healthcare: burnout, job satisfaction, and self-perceived health. Method A random block sampling was performed, prompting a total sample of 925 nursing professionals from 13 public hospitals located in the southeast of Spain. The sample distribution (mean and standard deviation) and the response percentages according to the study variables of the ad-hoc questionnaire were analyzed and classified with cluster analysis. Results Through the cluster analysis, two subgroups were obtained: Cluster 1, composed of 779 participants, with low scores in the variables used for the classification, high levels of both extrinsic and intrinsic satisfaction, low levels of emotional exhaustion and cynicism, and low rates of somatization, anxiety, social dysfunction and depression; and Cluster 2, composed of 115 participants and characterized by moderate-high scores in the variables used for the classification, moderate extrinsic satisfaction, and low intrinsic satisfaction, high emotional exhaustion and cynicism and lower somatization, anxiety, social dysfunction, and depression scores. Excluded cases amounted to 31. Conclusion Nursing professionals who experience lateral violence reveal a lower intrinsic satisfaction, feeling less self-accomplished in their job, and less positive work experience. Emotional exhaustion rises as a concerning progressive and long-term outcome of experiencing this type of violence

Tough Love Lessons: Lateral Violence among Hospital Nurses

Background: Workplace violence is a growing social problem among many professions, but it particularly affects the health sector. Studies have mainly focused on evaluating user violence toward health professionals, with less attention being paid to other sources of conflict, such as co-workers themselves. There are different manifestations of this violence in what has been called a context of tolerated or normalized violence among co-workers. However, its effects are far from being tolerable, as they have an impact on general health and job satisfaction and contribute to burnout among professionals. Based on this idea, and following the line of the previous literature, nursing staff are a population at high risk of exposure to workplace violence. For this reason, the present study aims to evaluate exposure to lateral violence or violence among co-workers in nursing staff in public health services and the relationship of this exposure with some of the most studied consequences. (2) Methods: A cross-sectional associative study was carried out in which scales of workplace violence (HABS-CS), burnout (MBI-GS), job satisfaction (OJS), and general health (GHQ-28) were applied to a sample of 950 nursing staff from 13 public hospitals located in the southeast of Spain. (3) Results: The results show that nursing staff have a high exposure to violence from their co-workers, which is more common in male nurses. Greater exposure is observed in professionals with between 6 and 10 years of experience in the profession, and it is not characteristic of our sample to receive greater violence when they have less experience or are younger. A positive correlation is observed with high levels of burnout and a negative correlation with general health and job satisfaction. (4) Conclusions: The results of this work contribute to increasing the scientific evidence of the consequences of a type of workplace violence frequent among nursing staff and to which less attention has been paid in relative terms to other types of prevalent violence. Organizations should be aware of the importance of this type of workplace violence, its frequency and impact, and implement appropriate prevention policies that include the promotion of a culture that does not reward violence or minimize reporting. A change of mentality in the academic environment is also recommended in order to promote a more adequate training of nursing staff in this field

Users’ perception of violence and conflicts with professionals in primary care centers before and during covid-19. a qualitative study

Background: Workplace violence is a social problem of special interest in both intervention and research. Among the sectors that most perceive this type of violence, health care professionals stand out. The most common type of violence for this professional group is the one perpetrated by the users or patients themselves. It has been reported that one out of every four acts of violence in the workplace occurs in the healthcare setting. Within the health sector, the Mental Health, Emergency and Primary Care services have been widely reported as being among the most vulnerable, with Primary Care being the least addressed of the three. Although the available literature is extensive, there are hardly any studies that explore from a qualitative perspective what are the sources of conflict in this sector from the perspective of the users, the most common being to work with professionals. Objective: The aim of this study is to examine those aspects derived from the organization, the professionals or the users of Primary Care that, from the users’ point of view, cause violent situations and how they think these could be avoided. Method: The sample consisted of 80 users of the Primary Care services of the Health Service of Murcia. For data collection, a qualitative study was conducted through 10 focus groups and a subsequent thematic analysis of the data. Results: The results have allowed us to identify that, from an organizational point of view, the uncertainty in waiting times, the need to adapt the telematic or telephone appointment to the different types of users, or the management of emergencies in Primary Care are the aspects that cause most conflicts between users and professionals. In this sense, suggested improvements are aimed at providing information in the mobile application updated on the opening hours or maintaining the telephone appointment for those who need or request it, among many others. As for the professionals, users point out that the medical staff is perceived as distant and sometimes does not provide

The aim of the study is to evaluate the anxiety level in patients that will go trough surgery and that were properly informed during the pre-anesthesia meeting

Objetivos. Se pretende valorar el grado de ansiedad que presentan distintos tipos de pacientes que van a ser sometidos a un proceso quirúrgico y que previamente han sido informados en la consulta de preanestesia y la influencia que sobre él ejerce dicha información. Métodos. Estudio transversal de una muestra de pacientes oncológicos ingresados para cirugía en el Hospital Universitario San Cecilio de Granada durante el año 2011. Tras comprobar los criterios de inclusión y recabar su consentimiento, se recogieron datos demográficos y del proceso. A todos ellos se les entregaron cuestionarios autoadministrados que valoran el estado de ansiedad (STAI) y un breve cuestionario diseñado “ad hoc” para valorar la información recibida y la comprensión de la misma. Resultados. Las mujeres presentaron un mayor grado de ansiedad tanto de estado (STAI E), como de rasgo (STAI R) que los hombres. En estos se observa un nivel de ansiedad mayor en aquellos que dijeron no haber recibido información sobre los posibles problemas derivados de la anestesia (p<0,05) y en los que no recordaban que les hubieran comentado ningún problema o complicación de la anestesia (p<0,05). Sin embargo en las mujeres es la propia información la que contribuye a crear mayor ansiedad en su variante estado, al mismo tiempo que se asocia, como en hombres, a menor ansiedad rasgo. Conclusión. La ansiedad preoperatoria se asocia con la calidad de la información recibida. En general, los pacientes que consideran haber recibido una información suficiente, identifican correctamente al profesional que les proporciona la información y han comprendido mejor dicha información son los que presentan los niveles más bajos de ansiedad.Methods. The patients were chosen from the oncology section of the San Cecilio Universitary Hospital of Granada (Spain) during year 2011 that were planned to be operated. After validating the inclusion criteria and collect their informed agreement, other data were collected such as demographic and about the process. Patients were given a form including questions to evaluate the anxiety (STAI) and “ad hoc” questions to evaluate the information received and how much they understood it. Results. Female patients showed a higher anxiety level (both STAI E and STAI R) than male ones. Among this last ones, there is a higher level of anxiety in the ones that state that no information of problems derivated with the anesthesia (p<0.05) was told to them or do not remember that anesthesia could imply complications or further problems (p<0,05). There is a hint that suggests that information is better understood when is given by the anesthesilogist although there are no significant results. On the other hand, in women, the more they know, the higher their anxiety levels are. Conclusion. This study remarks the importance and utility of the pre-anesthesia meeting in order to study and control anxiety levels, promote decision taking and active patient participation during the whole process
