Abstract:

Aims: Exposure to infection is a risk for all healthcare workers. This risk acquires another dimension in an outbreak of highly contagious, lethal disease, such as the Ebola epidemic in West Africa in 2014. Healthcare workers are usually well and correctly informed about the risks from such diseases, but family, neighbours, friends, or colleagues may react strongly to the risk that staff might bring infection home from an epidemic overseas. Research around such stigmatization is scarce. We wanted to investigate how common it is, which expressions it assumes and how it is influenced by dissemination of information. Methods: We interviewed a sample of Swedish healthcare workers who had worked in West Africa during the 2014 outbreak of Ebola, as well as one close contact for each of them, about reactions before leaving and after returning, and also about information received. Results and conclusions: The majority of contact persons reported no or little concern, neither when the healthcare worker revealed the plan to leave, nor on the healthcare worker’s return. The prevailing reason was trust in the judgement of ‘their’ healthcare worker, mainly using information received from the healthcare worker to assess risks, and relying little on other information channels. This means that the person assessing the risk was at the same time the hazard. There were indications that instructions regarding quarantine and self-isolation were less stringently followed by healthcare workers than by other aid workers in the outbreak, which could give confusing signals to the public. Simple, clear and non-negotiable rules should be preferred – also from an information perspective.

Abstract:

In an attempt to explore healthcare worker acquisition of tuberculosis infection, we conducted population-based surveillance of all cases recorded as healthcare workers reported to Enhanced Surveillance of Mycobacterial Infection from 2000 to 2015. Over the study period, the mean incidence rate of tuberculosis among all healthcare workers was 15.4 per 100,000 healthcare workers. However, the incidence rate of tuberculosis amongst those healthcare workers born outside the UK was 164.8 per 100,000 compared with 5.0 per 100,000 UK-born healthcare workers. Fifty-seven per cent of all non-UK-born healthcare workers were diagnosed within five years of their arrival in the UK and would have been new entrants to the NHS. An effective new entrant occupational health screening programme for latent tuberculosis infection may have prevented some of these active cases of infection.

Abstract:

Burnout can occur in every healthcare worker who works in hospitals and Comunity Health Centers (CHC), both consciously or unconsciously. Healthcare workers at CHCs are required to make many reports and sometimes there is a possibility to do it at home. Burnout can be experienced by any healthcare worker. There are several factors that may influence the incidence of burnout, namely: ambiguity, multiple role conflicts, work stress, workload and lack of social support. One source of social support comes from family. Family is a place to share stories and issue complaints when individuals experience problems. This study aims to determine the relationship between family support and the incidence of burnout among healthcare workers during the COVID-19 pandemic. This was a uantitative study with a Cross Sectional approach. The populations involved were all healthcare workers at Jati Tujuh Community Health Center Unit as many as 61 people. The samples were selected using total sampling technique. Data were analyzed through univariate analysis using frequency distribution and bivariate analysis using Chi square test. The study results showed that less than half of healthcare workers experienced burnout. Less than half of healthcare workers did not have family support. Furthermore, there was a significant relationship between family support and the incidence of burnout among healthcare workers. Recommendation is proposed for healthcare workers to increase their knowledge about burnout through seminar activities, consultations with experts and families so as to obtain understanding regarding the importance of family support for healthcare workers who are dealing with COVID-19 patients. Furthermore, CHC Unit should provide training for healthcare workers, especially regarding burnout coping mechanisms to overcome burnout among healthcare workers.

Abstract:

Objectives Healthcare workers face distinct occupational challenges that affect their personal health, especially during a pandemic. In this study we compare the characteristics and outcomes of Covid-19 patients who are and who are not healthcare workers (HCW). Methods We retrospectively analyzed a cohort of 2,842 adult patients with known HCW status and a positive SARS-CoV-2 RT-PCR test presenting to a large academic medical center emergency department (ED) in New York State from March 21 2020 through June 2020. Early in the pandemic we instituted a policy to collect data on patient occupation and exposures to suspected Covid-19. The primary outcome was hospital admission. Secondary outcomes were ICU admission, need for invasive mechanical ventilation (IMV), and mortality. We compared baseline characteristics and outcomes of Covid-19 adult patients based on whether they were or were not HCW using univariable and multivariable analyses. Results Of 2,842 adult patients (mean age 53+/-19 years, 53% male) 193 (6.8%) were HCWs and 2,649 (93.2%) were not HCWs. Compared with non-HCW, HCWs were younger (43 vs 53 years, P<0.001), more likely female (118/193 [61%] vs 1211/2649 [46%], P<0.001), and more likely to have a known Covid-19 exposure (161/193 [83%] vs 946/2649 [36%], P<0.001), but had fewer comorbidities. On presentation to the ED, HCW also had lower frequencies of tachypnea (12/193 [6%] vs 426/2649 [16%], P<0.01), hypoxemia (15/193 [8%] vs 564/2649 [21%], P<0.01), bilateral opacities on imaging (38/193 [20%] vs 1189/2649 [45%], P<0.001), and lymphocytopenia (6/193 [3%] vs 532/2649 [20%], P<0.01) compared to non-HCWs. Direct discharges home from the ED were more frequent in HCW 154/193 (80%) vs 1275/2649 (48%) p<0.001). Hospital admissions (38/193 [20%] vs 1264/2694 [47%], P<0.001), ICU admissions (7/193 [3%] vs 321/2694 [12%], P<0.001), need for IMV (6/193 [3%] vs 321/2694 [12%], P<0.001) and mortality (2/193 [1%] vs 219/2694 [8%], P<0.01) were lower than among non-HCW. After controlling for age, sex, comorbidities, presenting vital signs and radiographic imaging, HCW were less likely to be admitted (OR 0.6, 95%CI 0.3–0.9) than non HCW. Conclusions Compared with non HCW, HCW with Covid-19 were younger, had less severe illness, and were less likely to be admitted.

Abstract:

Objective: With a wide spectrum antimicrobial activity that is not affected by body fluids and blood, chlorhexidine is a particularly useful disinfectant widely used in healthcare settings. Given the importance of disinfectant usage by healthcare workers to prevent nosocomial infections, particularly during the COVID-19 pandemic, this study aims to evaluate the prevalence of immunoglobulin E (IgE)-mediated sensitivity in healthcare workers. Methodology: A cross-sectional study was conducted through a questionnaire and immunoassay for chlorhexidine- specific IgE in healthcare workers in a large teaching hospital in London, UK. The prevalence of IgE-mediated chlorhexidine hypersensitivity was determined along with potential determinants. Results: With a 77.7% response rate, the study showed that 4 out of 233 participants were positive for chlorhexidine-specific IgE, with an overall prevalence of 1.72% (95% Confidence Interval: 0.05% to 3.39%). All the positive cases belonged to occupationally exposed healthcare workers. In this group, the prevalence rate was 2.82% (95% Confidence Interval: 0.1% to 5.54%). Conclusion: Chlorhexidine is a potential allergen and an under-reported cause of anaphylaxis in patient-care and occupational settings. The results suggest that chlorhexidine has a relatively safe profile for healthcare workers in occupational settings, but a higher prevalence of chlorhexidine hypersensitivity cannot be ruled out. Sensitized healthcare workers must be advised to avoid further exposure to prevent potentially serious IgE-mediated allergic symptoms. Further studies are recommended to determine if any change in disinfection guidelines and protocols is warranted.

Abstract:

The primary role of personal protective equipment (PPE) within the healthcare environment is to either protect the patient from the healthcare worker or the healthcare worker from the patient. Both patients and carers can be vectors of infectious disease. Hospitals and other healthcare institutions need to protect frontline workers such as healthcare assistants and their patients from infections such as COVID-19.

Abstract:

Objective: according to the epidemiologic and antimicrobial resistance profile, infections are usually classified as community-acquired or nosocomial. Reports on patients without the classic criteria for nosocomial infection with multidrug-resistant germs are increasing. There is a particular concern regarding which microbiological profile must be addressed in case of infections in healthcare workers. This study was carried out with the purpose of identifying the prevalence of infection by multidrug-resistant germs in healthcare workers exposed to occupational contact with such germs at work. Methods: observational and retrospective study. In a 7-year period, healthcare worker hospitalizations were identified and the cultures results were assessed in order to identify the prevalence of infection by multidrug-resistant pathogens. Results: 1,487 healthcare workers hospitalizations were identified. In 105 of these hospitalizations, cultures were collected on the first 5 days after admission, and in 22 patients, 24 germs were identified. Multidrug-resistant pathogens were not found. Conclusion: in our sample, composed of workers from a tertiary public hospital who were hospitalized, none of the individuals presented MDR colonization or infection. These results suggest that when healthcare workers present infections, they must receive antibiotic therapy directed to community-acquired pathogens. In light of the limitations of this study, further larger and multicenter studies must be developed to enlighten such issue.

Abstract:

Home healthcare work is physically and emotionally exhausting. In addition, home healthcare workers frequently work under precarious work arrangements for low wages and in poor work conditions. Little is known about how sources of job strain for home healthcare workers might be reduced. This research examines the occupational stressors among paid home care workers by analyzing home healthcare agency characteristics and individual home healthcare workers’ experiences in upstate New York agencies (n = 9). The study augments existing theoretical models and describes new sources of stress arising from the nature of agency-based caregiving. Results feature the analysis of both agency executives’ (n = 20) and home healthcare workers’ narratives (n = 25) to make the agency's inner workings more transparent. Agency structures and culture are implicated in the lack of progress to address home care workers’ health problems. Policy change should focus on compensation, healthier work conditions, and training requirements.

When a worker was alone (no recent healthcare worker contacts), the observed adherence rate was 20.85% (95% confidence interval [CI], 19.78%–21.92%). In contrast, when other healthcare workers were present, observed adherence was 27.90% (95% CI, 27.48%–28.33%). This absolute increase was statistically significant (P < .01). We also found that adherence increased with the number of nearby healthcare workers but at a decreasing rate. These results were consistent at different times of day, for different measures of social context, and after controlling for possible confounding factors.Conclusions.The presence and proximity of other healthcare workers is associated with higher hand hygiene rates. Furthermore, our results also indicate that rates increase as the social environment becomes more crowded, but with diminishing marginal returns.Infect Control Hosp Epidemiol 2014;35(10):1277–1285

Abstract:

Introduction: Healthcare workers are a special public icon for the community because people would like to adopt and implement their knowledge, skill, attitude and behaviour for improving quality of health. People respect them for their knowledge and health behavior. It is believed that the level of health status of health workers as well as community should go ahead parallel but many researchers have noted that high risk behaviours (smoking, tobacco use, alcoholism, irregular diet intake, lack of exercise etc.) are prevalent among health workers. The result of this will be physical, psychological, familial and social disturbance, which might have an impact on health care delivery system of the country. The study was concerned to assess health status (body mass index, smoking and depression) of healthcare workers and its impact on social adjustment in Banke district of Nepal. Methods: A cross sectional study design was applied to conduct the research. One hundred and eight respondents were selected through random sampling from the purposive group. Data wa collected through interview by using interview schedule. SPSS-16 windows process was used to analyze data. Results: Most of the respondent (81.40%) were under the age group less than 30 years (M = 27.35, SD = 9.24 years). More than 57.40% of respondents were female. Most of them (68.50%) were unmarried. Maximum (82.20%) responders had normal Body Mass Index (18.5-24.99). Near about forty percent (38.9%) healthcare worker had faced social problems in their working area. Conclusion: Age (above 20 years) and male healthcare workers were more likely to smoke cigarettes. Depressed health workers were more likely to smoke cigarette. Depression could be observed as a determinant for social adjustment.

Abstract:

Several factors affect the relationship between a diabetic patient and a healthcare worker. Among these, there is the well-being of healthcare workers and how they perceive their work environment, especially in the context of the presence or absence of gender inequality. To show the importance of these aspects, a selected sample of healthcare workers who were exposed daily to people (mainly diabetic patients) within the working environment were interviewed. The different opinions of the interviewees show that in an environment where factors that negatively affected their work and personal well-being were minimized, healthcare workers were able to fully express their potential. They expressed great satisfaction with their work involving daily contact with patients, while achieving the type of patient–healthcare worker relationship model desired for a better management of diabetic patients’ care.

Abstract:

ObjectivesSafety and welfare are critical as pandemic-related demands on the healthcare workforce continue. Access to personal protective equipment (PPE) has been a central concern of healthcare workers throughout the COVID-19 pandemic. Against the backdrop of an already strained healthcare system, our study aimed to explore the experiences of healthcare workers with PPE during the first COVID-19 surge (February–June 2020) in Aotearoa/New Zealand (NZ). We also aimed to use these findings to present a strengths-based framework for supporting healthcare workers moving forward.DesignWeb-based, anonymous survey including qualitative open-text questions. Questions were both closed and open text, and recruitment was multimodal. We undertook inductive thematic analysis of the dataset as a whole to explore prominent values related to healthcare workers’ experiences.SettingOctober–November 2020 in New Zealand.Participants1411 healthcare workers who used PPE during surge one of the COVID-19 pandemic.ResultsWe identified four interactive values as central to healthcare workers’ experiences: transparency, trust, safety and respect. When healthcare workers cited positive experiences, trust and safety were perceived as present, with a sense of inclusion in the process of stock allocation and effective communication with managers. When trust was low, with concerns over personal safety, poor communication and lack of transparency resulted in perceived lack of respect and distress among respondents. Our proposed framework presents key recommendations to support the health workforce in terms of communication relating to PPE supply and distribution built on those four values.ConclusionsHealthcare worker experiences with PPE access has been likened to ‘the canary in the coalmine’ for existing health system challenges that have been exacerbated during the COVID-19 pandemic. The four key values identified could be used to improve healthcare worker experience in the future.

Abstract:

Pandemic diseases of this century have differentially targeted healthcare workers globally. These infections include Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome SARS, the Middle East respiratory syndrome coronavirus Middle East respiratory syndrome coronavirus (MERS-CoV) and Ebola. The COVID-19 pandemic has continued this pattern, putting healthcare workers at extreme risk. Just as healthcare workers have historically been committed to the service of their patients, providing needed care, termed their “duty of care”, so too do healthcare employers have a similar ethical duty to provide care toward their employees arising from historical common law requirements. This paper reports on results of a narrative review performed to assess COVID-19 exposure and disease development in healthcare workers as a function of employer duty of care program elements adopted in the workplace. Significant duty of care deficiencies reported early in the pandemic most commonly involved lack of personal protective equipment (PPE) availability. Beyond worker safety, we also provide evidence that an additional benefit of employer duty of care actions is a greater sense of employee well-being, thus aiding in the prevention of healthcare worker burnout.

Abstract:

Healthcare professionals are prone to experiencing stress and burnout due to their responsibility to care for one’s life and mistakes in the care delivery might lead to dire consequences for the patient. Occupational stress in the healthcare service could reduce the job performance of healthcare workers. This study was therefore conducted to determine the effect of occupational stress on the performance of healthcare workers in the University of Jember Medical Center. This study employed a cross-sectional design. The research sample was 28 healthcare workers at the University of Jember Medical Center. The results of the Pearson test showed a significance value of p = 0.725, indicating no significant correlation between occupational stress and job performance of health workers at the University of Jember Medical Center. Occupational stress might be experienced by healthcare workers at University of Jember Medical Center because University of Jember Medical Center as the first level of healthcare facilities acts as a gatekeeper with significant workload and functions. However, this occupational stress didn’t affect the work performance of the healthcare workers at University of Jember Medical Center due to their excellent stress management. Future studies might benefit from utilizing other more objective stress-related measurements and recruiting larger sample size. Keywords : Occupational stress, Job Performance, Healthcare Worker

Abstract:

AbstractA mathematical model for transmission dynamics of tuberculosis among healthcare workers is formulated. Tuberculosis is an airborne disease caused by Mycobacterium tuberculosis bacteria that affect the lungs of a host. Previous research had concentrated on mathematical modeling of transmission dynamics of tuberculosis without considering the impact of compliance rate to particulate respirator by healthcare workers on the transmission. Therefore, how compliance rate to particulate respirator reduces the transmission of tuberculosis is an active question, and we develop a new system of ordinary differential equations that explicitly explores the impact of compliance rate to particulate respirator by healthcare workers upon transmission. Rigorous analysis of the model shows that the disease-free equilibrium point is locally asymptotically stable when the basic reproduction number, Ro < 1. This is established through the analysis of characteristic equation. Basic reproduction, Ro is the number of new cases that an existing case generates on average over the infectious period in a susceptible population. We also show that the endemic equilibrium point is locally asymptotically stable for Ro > 1, by using Routh-Hurwitz criteria for stability. Sensitivity analysis is carried out to determine the relative importance of the model parameters to the disease transmission. The result of the sensitivity analysis shows that the most sensitive parameter is β (Human-to-human transmission rate), followed by Λ (Human recruitment rate). Also, the result shows that increase in ψ (compliance rate to particulate respirator by healthcare workers) leads to decrease in Ro which reduces tuberculosis spread among healthcare workers.
