modified model of radiographer scheduling problem for sequential optimization
Industrial Engineering and Engineering Management, 2018Co-Authors: Toshiyuki Miyamoto, K. HidakaAbstract:Radiographers/radiology technicians, who operate medical image diagnostic apparatuses used for examination and treatment of patients in hospitals, are limited human resources. Appropriately allocating radiographers Working on a variety of medical image diagnostic apparatuses considering their skills lead to providing high-quality services to patients and providing a Good Working Environment to staff. On the other hand, staff training is also an important issue from the long-term perspective of hospital administration. We construct a new integer programming model of radiographer scheduling for sequential optimization; we conduct a case study of the radiographer scheduling problem using a realistic instance for one month. The proposed sequential optimization is useful in terms of computation time.

Experiences of organizational and social work Environment among dental hygienists Working in the private dental sector : A quantitative survey for dental hygienists in a region in southern Sweden
Hälsohögskolan Jönköping University HHJ. Centrum för oral hälsa, 2020Co-Authors: Ivarsson Clara, Flink AlmaAbstract:Bakgrund: Systematiskt arbetsmiljöarbete kan förebygga ohälsa och olycksfall på arbetsplatser. Genom god arbetsmiljö kan kvalitén på utfört arbete öka, arbetet göras mer hållbart för arbetstagare och vården mer patientsäker. Syfte: Syftet med studien var att undersöka hur tandhygienister inom privat tandvårdssektor upplever sin organisatoriska och sociala arbetsmiljö. Metod: Metoden var en kvantitativ tvärsnittsstudie med enkät som mätinstrument. Urvalet bestod av tandhygienister inom privat sektor i en region i södra Sverige. Insamlade data analyserades i SPSS med Spearman’s Rho korreationsanalys. Resultat: Enkäten besvarades av 28 tandhygienister som generellt visade positiva upplevelser gällande organisatorisk och social arbetsmiljö [OSA]. Fler antal anställda tandhygienister gav ökade upplevelser av att utvecklas i arbetet ( = 0,404, p = 0,033) och att behöva arbeta utöver planerad arbetstid ( = –0,477, p = 0,010). Fler yrkesaktiva år som tandhygienist ökade upplevelsen av meningsfullt arbete ( = 0,404, p = 0,033). Slutsats: Utöver de identifierade salutogena faktorerna i resultatet sågs utvecklingspotential för OSA inom dimensionen förändringsarbete. För att få förståelse och orsak till upplevd OSA kan vidare forskning via kvantitativ ansats vara av värde för att identifiera salutogena faktorer som kan bidra till förbättrad OSA.Background: Systemically work Environment enhancing work can prevent illness and accidents among employees at workplaces. Maintaining a Good Working Environment can improve the quality of performed work, become more sustainable and increase patient safety. Aim: To investigate how dental hygienists in private dental sector experience their organizational and social work Environment. Method: A cross-sectional study with questionnaire as measuring instrument was performed. The sample consisted of dental hygienists in private dental sector in Sweden. Data were processed in SPSS through Spearman’s Rho correlation analysis. Results: 28 dental hygienists responded to the questionnaire and reported positive experiences regarding organizational and social work Environment [OSA] in general. A higher number of employed dental hygienists reported more positive experiences of work development ( = 0,404, p = 0,033) and required to work beyond Working hours ( =–0,477, p = 0,010). More professional years as dental hygienist increased positive experiences of meaningful work ( = 0,404, p = 0,033). Conclusion: In addition to the identified salutogenic factors in the results, protentional for development regarding OSA was found in the dimension reorganization. To gain understanding and reasons for experienced OSA, research via qualitative approach would be valuable to identify salutogenic factors that may contribute to improved OSA

To work as an intensive care nurse in the intensive care unit, during ongoing pandemic caused by the coronavirus.
2020Co-Authors: Mohlin KennethAbstract:Bakgrund: I slutet av år 2019 utvecklades en pandemi orsakat av Covid-19 över stora delar av världen och som kan orsaka allvarliga luftvägssjukdomar hos människor. I samhällsdebatterna, bland annat i statlig media, har virusets framfart fått stora rubriker. Diskussioner har förts kring brist på hygienkunskaper, skyddsutrustning, intensivvårdsplatser och intensivvårdssjuksköterskor. Många av de allvarligaste smittade patienter har hamnat på intensivvården med svåra komplikationer såsom respiratoriska problem. Syfte: Hur arbetar intensivvårdssjuksköterskorna för att stoppa smittspridning av coronavirus på intensivvården tillsammans med säker och god omvårdnad, samt vilka åtgärder bör göras för att nå dessa resultat? Metod: En systematisk litteraturstudie baserad på kvalitativa artiklar som söktes med hjälp av databaserna PubMed och Cinahl. Materialet bearbetades och analyserades med tematisk innehållsanalys. Resultat: Resultatet baserades på tolv artiklar och redovisas under två teman: Individ och Organisation. Individ menas intensivvårdssjuksköterskans ansvar för att förebygga smittspridning genom att handha adekvata hygienåtgärder, använda personlig skyddsutrustning och hålla avstånd där det är möjligt mellan människor. Dessa åtgärder minskade och stoppade smittspridningen på intensivvårdsavdelningarna. Organisation menas ledningens ansvar att ge intensivvårdssjuksköterskan förutsättningar för att förebygga smittspridning genom resurser, utbildning och god arbetsmiljö. Dessa insatser hjälpte intensivvårdssjuksköterskorna för att kunna hantera smittspridningen på ett tillfredställande sätt. Slutsats: För att stoppa smittspridningen och bedriva säker vård på intensivvårdsavdelningarna är det vitalt att intensivvårdssjuksköterskorna besitter goda kunskaper med att arbeta aseptisk, använda adekvat skyddsutrustning när det behövs samt håller avstånd till andra personer där det går. Det är också viktigt att det finnas resurser såsom tillräckligt med kollegor som kan ta över när tröttheten kommer efter att ha arbetat länge med skyddsutrustning på. För att intensivvårdssjuksköterskan skall kunna upprätthålla goda kunskaper i infektionskontroll behövs utbildningar kontinuerligt. Till sist men inte minst behövs det en god arbetsmiljö där man kan vädra problem som har uppstått, exempelvis brist på säkerhet under arbetes gång med farlig smitta.Background: At the end of 2019, a pandemic caused by the coronavirus Covid-19 developed across much of the world that may cause serious respiratory diseases in humans. In the social debates, including the state media, the progress of the virus has received major headlines. Discussions have been about lack of hygiene knowledge, protective equipment, intensive care units and intensive care nurses. Many of the most serious infected patients have ended up in intensive care with severe compilations such as respiratory problems. Aim: How do the intensive care nurses work to stop the spread of the corona infection along with safe and Good nursing care and what measures should be taken to achieve these results? Method: A systematic literature study based on qualitative articles through advanced search in PubMed and Cinahl databases. The material has been thoroughly processed and analyzed thematically. Results: The result based on twelve articles and presented under two themes: Individual level and Organization level. Individual level was considered the responsibility of the intensive care nurse to prevent the spread of infection through adequate hygiene measures, to use personal protective equipment and to keep distances where possible between people. These measures reduced and stopped the spread of infection in the intensive care units. Organization level is the management's responsibility to provide the intensive care nurse with conditions for preventing the spread of infection through resources, education and a Good Working Environment. Because of these responses the intensive care nurse managed to reduce or stop infections to spread satisfactorily. Conclusion: In order to stop the spread of infection and to provide safe care in the intensive care units, it is vital that the intensive care nurses have Good knowledge of Working aseptically, use adequate protective equipment and keep distance to other people where possible. It is also important that there are resources such as enough colleagues to help one another, for example, to take turns wearing warm protective equipment. In order for the intensive care nurse to maintain her/his knowledge in infection control, training needs continuously. Last, but not least, a Good Working Environment is needed where you can discuss about problems that have occurred, such as a lack of safety during work with dangerous contamination

Causes and management of stress at work.
Occupational and environmental medicine, 2002Co-Authors: Susan MichieAbstract:Stress has been defined in different ways over the years. Originally, it was conceived of as pressure from the Environment, then as strain within the person. The generally accepted definition today is one of interaction between the situation and the individual. It is the psychological and physical state that results when the resources of the individual are not sufficient to cope with the demands and pressures of the situation. Thus, stress is more likely in some situations than others and in some individuals than others. Stress can undermine the achievement of goals, both for individuals and for organisations (box 1). View this table: Box 1: The problem of stress Signs of stress can be seen in people's behaviour, especially in changes in behaviour. Acute responses to stress may be in the areas of feelings (for example, anxiety, depression, irritability, fatigue), behaviour (for example, being withdrawn, aggressive, tearful, unmotivated), thinking (for example, difficulties of concentration and problem solving) or physical symptoms (for example, palpitations, nausea, headaches). If stress persists, there are changes in neuroendocrine, cardiovascular, autonomic and immunological functioning, leading to mental and physical ill health (for example anxiety, depression, heart disease) (box 2, fig 1).1 View this table: Box 2 : Signs of stress Figure 1 A model of stress at work.1 Situations that are likely to cause stress are those that are unpredictable or uncontrollable, uncertain, ambiguous or unfamiliar, or involving conflict, loss or performance expectations. Stress may be caused by time limited events, such as the pressures of examinations or work deadlines, or by ongoing situations, such as family demands, job insecurity, or long commuting journeys. Resources that help meet the pressures and demands faced at work include personal characteristics such as coping skills (for example, problem solving, assertiveness, time management) and the work situation such as a Good Working Environment and social support. These resources can be …
