Full textThis study was conducted to increase our understanding of children and young people’s experience of a hospital environment and to identify the salient attributes of the physical environment in their experience. There were three specific aims: to describe children and young people’s experience of a hospital environment and identify what constitutes a supportive paediatric environment; to examine the role of the physical environment in patients’ feeling of well-being; and to highlight the capacity of participatory research with children and young people to inform evidence-based paediatric design. At this stage, there has been very little healthcare design research carried out with populations of children and young people. Well-being research with children and young people in paediatric environments that identifies the potential supportive attributes in this environment is also very limited. Historically research on children’s health and well-being has been dominated by a focus on the prevalence of disorders, problems and disabilities. More recently, in response to the change to health promotion, positive attributes have been included in well-being and satisfaction measures. At this stage, there are still many fewer positive measures. Within the body of literature that exists in healthcare, healthcare design research, and well-being research, there are only a small number of participatory studies that focus on children and young people’s experience of hospitalisation, and an even smaller number that include children and young people’s experience of hospital environments. The picture that is created by the research that exists is patchy. There is a need for a more holistic understanding of children and young people’s experience of hospitalisation and of hospital environments from their own perspectives. Based on these gaps in current knowledge, two research questions were developed. The first was concerned with describing children and young people’s experience of the sociophysical environment of a paediatric hospital. The second question was concerned with understanding the role of the physical environment in children and young people’s feeling of well-being in a hospital environment. In addressing these questions, the intention was to identify attributes within the hospital setting which collectively comprise a supportive environment for children and young people and which contribute to children and young people’s feeling of well-being in a paediatric setting. The current study was conducted as an exploratory qualitative case study and carried out at the Children’s Hospital at Westmead, in Sydney, Australia. Using participatory research techniques, the sequence of the study included two pilot studies and the main study. The focus was on understanding the experiences of longer-term patients of a paediatric hospital environment. In the main study 25 children and young people, aged between 9-18 years, who had been in hospital for at least a week completed semi-structured interviews in which they talked about their response to the environment of the hospital and their experience of hospitalisation. Data analysis was completed using a combination of concept mapping and thematic analysis techniques. Preliminary findings were used as the basis of a further member-checking task carried out with a further six children and young people before conclusions were reached. The findings reveal that children and young people’s experience of a paediatric setting involves a number of major areas of influence including their personal situation, their social experience, their interaction with the physical environment, opportunities and characteristics of the organisation, and the effect of time. The findings also reveal that children’s feeling of well-being within this experience is linked to their ability to feel comfortable in the environment, to maintain a positive state of mind, and to remain positively engaged with the experience and the environment. This research reveals a dynamic relationship between children and young people and a paediatric environment that children and young people actively manage and shape. It reveals some of the key considerations in children and young people’s experience of hospitalisation. It also reveals why these considerations are important and what role they play in patients’ experience and feeling of well-being. These findings provide the basis for further research and they have implications for future design and research practice in paediatric healthcare settings.

This study examined the extent of burnout (as conceptualized by Maslach and Jackson (1981): emotional exhaustion, depersonalization and diminished personal accomplishment) being experienced by nurses in a South African state hospital, and its associations with a range of work environment variables and the ways in which nurses generally cope with their stress. This exploratory study took the form of a cross-sectional, correlational field survey, in which both quantitative and qualitative data were collected from surgical hospital nurses by means of self-report questionnaires. Quantitative measures included were the Maslach Burnout Inventory (MBI; Maslach & Jackson, 1981), the Work Environment Scale (WES; Moos, 1986) and the Coping Orientations to Problems Experienced Scale (COPE; Carver, Scheier & Weintraub, 1989). Additional quantitative measures of personal control, support, sense of appreciation and job satisfaction were obtained from visual analogue rating scales. The qualitative data comprised a frequency analysis of themes evident in the content of subjects' written responses to four open-ended questions posed in the questionnaire. On each of the three burnout subscales, respondents' scores were categorized into low, moderate or high levels of burnout. Apart from correlational and ANOVA analyses, performed in order to examine relationships between variables and differences in terms of demographics, nursing categories, and nursing specialities, discriminant analyses were performed in order to identify those variables which were experienced differently by nurses reporting different levels of burnout. A number of significant predictors of burnout were identified. Of the work environment variables examined in the study, higher levels of work pressure, diminished physical comfort, and lack of peer cohesion predicted higher levels of emotional exhaustion. Lack of physical comfort and perceived lack of supervisor support were strongly associated with higher levels of depersonalization. Generally, lower levels of perceived autonomy and supervisor support were associated with a diminished sense of personal accomplishment. Regarding coping, frequent use of the problem-focused strategy of planning was found to be associated with lower levels of emotional exhaustion and depersonalization. Frequent use of the emotion-focused strategies of positive reinterpretation, seeking emotional social support, and acceptance were related to higher levels of personal accomplishment, whereas increased use of the emotion-focused strategy of denial was strongly associated with diminished personal accomplishment. Regarding palliative/avoidant coping strategies, frequent behavioural disengagement was associated with higher levels of emotional exhaustion and depersonalization, and mental disengagement and focusing/venting of emotions were related to higher levels of emotional exhaustion.

Full textEn starkt växande tillgång och kapacitet hos trådlösa nätverk i kombination med explosionen inom mobiltelefoni, i synnerhet vad gäller smartphones, har lett till ett enormt ökat intresse för och utveckling inom området inomhuspositionering. Det har under många år funnits lösningar för positionering i utomhusmiljöer, exempelvis GPS och triangulering med mobila basstationer, men inga av dessa system lämpar sig för inomhuspositionering eftersom signalerna tappar alldeles för mycket i intensitet när användaren befinner sig inomhus. Under årens lopp har flera olika lösningar för inomhuspositionering föreslagits. I denna uppsats testas olika lösningar för inomhuspositionering med smartphones i en sjukhusmiljö. Testen baserar sig på de sensorer som finns i en smartphone med operativsystemet Android i kombination med Wi-Fi triangulering och en digital planlösning över testområdet. Syftet är att undersöka om noggrannheten kan bli såpass så bra att en upplösning på rumsnivå uppnås. En enkel algoritm för att kompensera för slumpartade och oplanerade rörelser hos mobiltelefonen testas. Två versioner av det utökade Kalmanfiltret testas för tröghetsnavigering. TRIAD algoritmen testas för att motverka magnetiska störningar. Två kombinationer av radiokartor och positioneringsalgoritmer provas för att genomföra Wi-Fi positionering. Ett utökat Kalmanfilter används för att kombinera resultaten av tröghetsnavigeringen med Wi-Fi positioneringen. Ett partikelfilter används för att utföra sensorfusionen av tröghetsnavigeringen, Wi-Fi positioneringen och den digitala planlösningen. Resultaten visar att ju mer information som tillförs under positioneringen desto större blir noggrannheten samt att partikelfiltret ger en bättre noggrannhet i en komplex inomhusmiljö i kombination med komplicerade rörelsemönster än det utökade Kalmanfiltret.

Full textPhysical injury is a major cause of premature death and disability worldwide (WHO, 2015). Mortality statistics for South Africa indicate that approximately half of all injury-related deaths were intentionally inflicted, often as a result of sharp-force injuries (Donson 2009). Cape Town is reputed to be a violent city (Nicol et al., 2014). Pre-hospital emergency care providers are often the first medical contact for injured patients. Previously, it was understood that high volume crystalloid administration would improve survival and was standardised in the management of shock (Santry & Alam 2010). However, over-administration of crystalloid fluid can cause patient harm by potentially worsening injuries and can be detrimental to a patients survival. Current evidence supports the practice of lower volume crystalloid intravenous fluid administration- permissive hypotension. Little is known about pre-hospital emergency care providers intravenous fluid management practices for penetrating injury. Injury surveillance data for victims of penetrating injury is also scarce with the majority of current data taken from mortality sources. Surveilling pre-hospital cases may yield opportunities for prevention from premature mortality and morbidity. The aim of this study is to undertake surveillance of penetrating injury and related intravenous fluid resuscitation in the pre-hospital emergency care environment. A prospective observational descriptive survey was conducted in the Cape Metropole1. Over three consecutive months, emergency care providers documented parameters related to mechanism of injury, scene vital signs, hospital vital signs, intravenous fluid resuscitation and basic patient demographic information for patients with penetrating injury. A predetermined inclusion and exclusion criteria was used to sample patients.

Full textIn 1982, the teaching hospital (Hospital de Clínicas - HC) of the Triângulo Mineiro Federal University (UFTM) was opened in Uberaba, in Minas Gerais state in Brazil. Currently, it is the only public hospital in the Triângulo Mineiro area to offer third party high complexity services. Technical requirements in strict regulations for hospital environments make it harder to humanize them and satisfactorily assist users, provide health professionals with adequate working spaces and help the healing process. Therefore, this document aims to propose design guidelines to improve thermal and lighting performance in the medical clinic (clínica médica CM) and surgery clinic (clínica cirúrgica - CC) wings of the HC of UFTM. In order to achieve this, there was initially some data collection regarding design and building aspects related to the aforementioned hospital wings. Afterwards, it was necessary to gather data on the bioclimatic profile of Uberaba for the last ten years and relate it to the building using an estimate of the thermal properties of its materials and of the use of passive strategies in its design. To verify how effective the plans were, analyses based on Mahoney and Givonis methods were carried out. Furthermore, measurement of internal and external temperatures, of relative humidity and of illuminance levels were used to analyze thermal and visual performance of CM and CC wings. Then, the results were compared to Mahoney and Givonis recommendations and to lighting regulation NBR 8995-1. These results showed that regarding passive strategies, ventilation benefits the most from the building orientation, while evaporative cooling and high thermal inertia are absent. Moreover, thermal property figures of the vertical and the horizontal openings and measurements of environmental variables did 4 not present ideal comfort ratings, but high transmittance, low thermal inertia and, consequently, high temperatures inside the wings creating great thermal discomfort almost all the time. In addition, illuminance levels registered did not comply with regulations and, while associated with a lack of visual identity in rooms, caused users/patients to negatively perceive those rooms. Fostering green areas, improving insulation by using thermal insulation materials and revising the visual concept and the minimum illuminance levels in the HC are effective possibilities used in several hospitals to improve patients thermal and visual comfort while under treatment and to ensure quality to staff performance.

Full textA aprovação da nova Lei de gestão hospitalar veio configurar uma nova realidade para o sector hospitalar português. É uma oportunidade para desenvolver novas competências de gestão, recompensar o bom desempenho e premiar a maior eficiência. Neste contexto de mudança vários foram os objectivos traçados pela Unidade de Missão, bem como as estratégias para os atingir, entre os quais o projecto de planeamento de altas, que é uma das iniciativa chave na redução dos internamentos por motivos de natureza social, sendo para tal necessário o empenhamento de toda a equipa multidisciplinar, incluindo o doente/elemento cuidador. A necessidade de diminuir o tempo de internamento que hoje vigora nos hospitais, na perspectiva da optimização económica de recursos, colide frequentemente com os interesses dos familiares e dos doentes hospitalizados, podendo mesmo atropelar a qualidade dos cuidados que estes merecem. Neste seguimento, este estudo teve por base este projecto, implementado num serviço hospital central de Lisboa, recentemente tornado sociedade anónima. Pretende-se assim contribuir para a compreensão, num contexto de mudança, do conceito de planeamento de altas na continuidade dos cuidados de saúde e na sua estruturação, no sentido de perceber como podem levar a cuidados mais centrados no doente. Este serviço é caracterizado por recursos humanos altamente especializados e os seus clientes têm habitualmente déficit de saúde, mais concretamente na área da respiratória. São assim portadores de doenças crónicas, de alguma forma limitativas, obrigando-os, com alguma frequência, a dirigirem-se ao hospital. O facto da alta do doente não ser planeada atempadamente, torna-se com frequência num momento de ansiedade, tanto para o doente, como para a família/elemento cuidador, não o deixando de ser também para a equipa multidisciplinar. É frequentemente no momento de alta que é transmitida toda uma quantidade de informações e conselhos importantes para a vida futura dos mesmos, o que se houvesse planeamento, poderia ter sido feito de uma forma gradual e sistemática. Pretende-se estudar o impacto deste projecto e para tal analisou-se o impresso implementado aos doentes internados, durante um mês consecutivo, perfazendo um total de 51. Por esta análise ter sido inconclusiva, recorreu-se a entrevistas aos lideres dos grupos profissionais envolvidos. Trata-se de um trabalho exploratório, uma vez que procura conhecer melhor os fenómenos em estado, quer através de novas questões ou novas explicações, ou simplesmente tentando indagar as características dos acontecimentos ou situações. Concluímos de uma forma geral que realmente não se ganhou a aposta da mudança pretendida inicialmente, mas acabou por ficar incutido no seio da equipa determinadas alterações à sua rotina, que permitiram uma melhoria futura contínua dos cuidados, sendo necessário que todos se sintam motivados e envolvidos. Com este projecto aconteceram evoluções muito significativas no processo de cuidados e no modo de estar dos profissionais. Pensa-se e fala-se na alta precocemente e é registada mais informação relativa ao processo de alta para garantir a continuidade de cuidados e do investimento de cada grupo profissional. A família é mais "chamada" a participar nos cuidados e "ensina-se" mais cedo, para obterem mais segurança e confiança na capacidade para lidar com as "novas dependências" do seu doente. Há uma maior solicitação, melhoria do diálogo e maior esforço de articulação entre os vários grupos profissionais (os envolvidos no projecto e os nutricionistas e psicólogos), nomeadamente em situações com necessidade de apoio domiciliário. Rompeu-se com algumas formas de pensar e agir, dominantes no início do projecto, havendo agora argumentos e fundamentos para poderem negociar tempos para orientação do doente/família/elemento cuidador. A postura da equipa é mais activa e dinâmica na procura de soluções para o doente e família, sendo a comunicação mais horizontal. Sendo que actualmente a equipa deste serviço conhece de outro modo a pessoa, que por estar doente vive este período da sua existência, precisando da sua ajuda e da sua competência. Sugere-se o alargamento deste estudo aos doentes e elementos cuidadores, de uma forma mais activa.

Full textHospitals are among the biggest and more complex installations in our contemporary society, because, besides its architecture, types and offered services, it has the medicine dynamic that imposes continuous chances in the hospital campus. And also we must mention that are the physical and psychological mood that difficult the relationship between the human being and the environment. From understanding this scenario that takes place relating the human and his articulation among elements and inter-relationship between color and subjects, this research focused on the chromatic participation in wayfinding in a hospital environment . It was carried out a case study, using tools as visibility index (VI) to analyze layout and signaling system of the hospital, user´s questionnaires and interviews with employees and architects of that institution. It was aimed to verify how the chromatic information in the elements are perceived and more precisely, how it is used as information for routes that configure activities of the users in this space. Obtained data point out that the chromatic design - if well planned - could help individuals to has sense of pertinence, important for displacements. Some recommendations from ergonomic point of view that could contribute with architects and designers work when designing environments, more adequate to real necessities of its users.

Full textBackground: In the second half of the 17th century, Nightingale advocated the weight of the hospital environment and its effect on the patient. Her theory was built on the patient encountering a pleasant environment during hospitalization and its critical impact for the patients well-being and health. A pleasant environment has shown to counteract prolonged hospital stays and leads to a shortened recovery process. Aim: To describe patients experience of the hospital environment. Method: A qualitative literature review with an inductive approach was conducted. Results: Two main categories were revealed; The visual environmental influence, with the sub categories “The meaning of colours”, “The need of light and view” and “Impact of the interior”. The second main category found was; The hospital wards impact, with the sub categories “The importance of the rooms characteristics” and “The need of good comfort”. The patients experience of the hospital environment varied between being satisfying or not. The patients mentioned several isolated components that had a positive effect on their experience during hospital stays, such as colours, windows and space. Components that had a negative effect were also mentioned. Conclusion: The result sheds light on the flaws and deficiencies in the physical hospital environment that exists internationally. The study conducts the fact that the problems that Nightingale dealt with still exists to this day.

Aborda-se sobre o ambiente hospitalar do ponto de vista da arquitetura, apresentando-se as tipologias hospitalares, a evolução desse espaço e a influência das novas tecnologias, do conforto ambiental e do emprego dos gases medicinais nesse contexto. Em seguida, discorrese sobre os hospitais universitários do Brasil até chegar-se a UTI neonatal, propriamente dita, e suas particularidades. Na conclusão, com o reconhecimento da importância dessa unidade, são apresentadas algumas considerações finais que apontam para um estudo quanto à qualidade ambiental do Hospital Universitário da Universidade Federal do Maranhão.

Full textThe purpose of this basic qualitative study was to determine practice and feedback strategies used by instructional designers when creating synchronous online instruction. Practice and feedback have survived through many modes of learning including classroom, asynchronous online learning, and synchronous online learning. The research design consisted of open-ended questions administered during a telephone interview. A pre-qualifying questionnaire was posted on social media to recruit participants to determine the sample population; the qualifying survey produced 14 participants who met the requirements to participate in a telephone interview. The participants answered nine questions during the phone interview. The interviews were recorded, transcribed, and coded. Based on the participant responses, five themes emerged. The results of the study contribute to the field of instructional design by providing suggestions of the current use of practice and feedback in synchronous online instruction and how they use motivation strategies to encourage adult learner participation. Similarities were found between the results and reviewed literature. This study was limited by only interviewing instructional designers who work, or have worked, in a hospital environment. Suggestions for future research would be to repeat this study on a larger scale by recruiting more participants that work in different work environments as an industry, higher education, and computer technology.

Full textThe purpose was to investigate design factors in nursing station work environments, to explore and compare outcomes of centralized and decentralized designs on nurses’ psychosocial health, work behaviors and indirect hospital economic implications. Six nursing units in three US hospitals participated in the study. A triangulation method was used. The approach included a literature review, hospital statistical data, observations, a survey and two focus groups. Results showed small variations in comparable hospital statistics. Observations revealed office type duties as an ongoing activity. Sound levels exceeded those recommended in all nursing stations. Nurses in the decentralized stations experienced lower sense of control. Four design themes emerged from the focus groups; nurse specific support, sense of control, professional privacy and requirements to stay separate but connected. In conclusion there was no evidence suggesting that either type of nursing station design could be regarded as better in terms of nurses’ psychosocial health and work behavior.
