The professional realization of healthcare professionals in dealing with children and adults with special needs requires them to have the knowledge, skills, and necessary professional competencies to identify, perform, and evaluate the activities related to the care of the disabled person. Their activity is focused on the health problem that leads the person with special needs to hospitalization in the medical establishment, which does not exclude satisfying his vital needs. Applying their knowledge and competencies, they collect the information they need for the disabled patient. The processed and specified information is implemented through appropriate interventions and subsequently the results obtained are evaluated. Health care requires logic, systematic to solve a particular health problem of the sick person, and they are an intellectual process [Zheleva 2004]].

Introduction and aim. Healthcare professionals including prescribers, pharmacists and nurses must have adequate knowledge of drug-drug interactions because they can cause toxicity, loss of efficacy, and side effects. This study was aimed to assess the respective roles of healthcare professionals in preventing drug-drug interactions by clinical interventions. Material and methods. This study was conducted at a Secondary Care Hospital of Pakistan in which total 1000 prescriptions were assessed for drug-drug interactions. Questionnaires and descriptive statistics were tools to assess the satisfaction of prescribers with pharmacists and their own prescribed medications before and after the clinical interventions. Modifications in medication therapies were done accordingly after the evaluation and acceptance of interventions. Results. The p-value was highly significant (p<0.05) which showed that the collaboration between healthcare professionals is necessary to avoid drug-drug interaction by clinical interventions. Acceptance rate of interventions was 77%. Clinical interventions are a useful tool in minimizing and preventing drug-drug interactions. The compliance of prescribers with their own prescribed medication regimens increased after clinical interventions. Conclusion. Prescribers, pharmacists and nurses have their respective roles in preventing drug-drug interactions and they must review the appropriateness of every medication order for clinical interventions.

The area of the right to the provision of medical care is currently receiving attention mainly from the perspective of the patient, but not from the perspective of a healthcare professional. The right of a healthcare professional not to provide medical care is an area which, despite its importance, receives relatively little attention. The topic of this article is narrowed down only to the area of termination of medical care. This leaves aside the legal regulation of the reasons for which the medical care provider is entitled to refuse to accept a patient into care. The primary goal of this article was to verify the functionality of the legal regulation from the point of view of health professionals. This was done by research, carried out in the form of a questionnaire survey. Respondents (healthcare professionals and medical students) answered questions (in the area of termination of medical care) to ascertain their awareness of the current legislation and its applicability in practice, as well as questions about possible changes that could improve their professional relationship with patient. The answers thus reflect not only their opinion on the state of the current legislation, but also include de lege ferenda considerations. Before the main part of the article, which consists of the results of questionnaire survey, a theoretical introduction was included for better orientation in the issue. This theoretical introduction summarizes the current legislation in this area. The article provides a new insight into the legal regulation of the termination of medical care through the eyes of those who are confronted with this legal regulation on a daily basis.

Oblasti práva na poskytnutí zdravotní péče je v současné době věnována pozornost zejména z pohledu pacienta, nikoliv však z pohledu zdravotnického pracovníka. Právo zdravotnického pracovníka neposkytnout zdravotní péči je oblast, které se navzdory její důležitosti věnuje relativně malá pozornost. Téma tohoto článku je zúženo, a to pouze na oblast ukončení péče o pacienta. Stranou je tak ponechána právní úprava důvodů, pro které je poskytovatel zdravotních služeb oprávněn odmítnout přijetí pacienta do péče. Primárním cílem tohoto článku bylo pomocí vlastního výzkumu, provedeného formou dotazníkového šetření, ověřit funkčnost zkoumané právní úpravy v praxi z pohledu zdravotnických pracovníků. Respondenti (zdravotničtí pracovníci a studenti lékařských fakult) odpovídali jednak na otázky, kterými bylo zjišťováno jejich povědomí o platné právní úpravě a její využitelnosti v praxi, a dále na otázky, týkající se možných změn, které by jejich očima mohly zlepšit fungování vztahu zdravotnického pracovníka a pacienta v oblasti ukončování zdravotní péče. Odpovědi respondentů tak odráží nejen jejich názor na stav současné právní úpravy, ale zahrnují i úvahy de lege ferenda. Před samotnou hlavní částí, která je tvořena výsledky vlastního dotazníkového šetření, byl pro lepší orientaci v celé problematice zařazen i teoretický úvod, který shrnuje platnou právní úpravu v této oblasti. Článek poskytuje nový náhled na právní úpravu ukončování zdravotní péče očima těch subjektů, kteří jsou s ní při výkonu svého povolání každodenně konfrontováni.

ObjectivesIn this study, healthcare professionals’ beliefs about sportive recreational activities were examined.Material and MethodsThis was a cross-sectional study conducted with 940 volunteer healthcare professionals. The Sociodemographic Information Form prepared by the authors and the Health-Belief Scale on Sportive Recreational Activities (HBSSRA) determined on the basis of their literature review were used to collect data.ResultsAlthough it was concluded that 72% of the healthcare professionals did not have enough free time, the participation rate in sportive recreational activities reached 71.4%. The study revealed that 44.9% of the participants preferred to engage in sportive recreational activities individually, while 55.1% wanted to do such activities in a group. It was found that 72.9% of the participants took part in sports activities for health-related reasons. The mean health-belief score of the healthcare professionals regarding recreational activities was found to be 80.38 (SD = 10.32). As this score is very close to the maximum value (105.00), it can be stated that their health beliefs are high.ConclusionsIt is understood that participation in sportive recreational activities has positive effects on individuals’ physical and mental health; however, there are also some factors that prevent individuals’ participation in such activities. The income level, the marital status, the spouse’s employment status, having children, and time spent at the place of residence are important factors preventing participation in sportive recreational activities. This study is expected to help individuals gain a perspective about participation in sportive recreational activities, and to provide more evidence in raising the awareness about the protection of individual health. In addition, it is expected to help shape the behaviors aimed at being healthy by improving one’s own health-related beliefs.

Objectives The aim of this exploratory study was to analyze the association between emotional dissonance and emotional exhaustion among healthcare professionals, and the mediating role of the perceived quality of care in this relationship. Material and Methods Self-report questionnaires were administered to 724 healthcare workers. The measurement model was tested and the mediation hypothesis was verified through hierarchical multiple regression analyses. Bootstrapping was used to construct confidence intervals to evaluate the mediation effects. Results Emotional dissonance was significantly related to emotional exhaustion, and the perceived quality of care was negatively related to emotional exhaustion. The perceived quality of care had a partial mediating effect on the relationship between emotional dissonance and emotional exhaustion. Emotional dissonance had a significant effect on emotional exhaustion, and the perceived quality of care was a mediating factor in this relationship among healthcare professionals. Conclusions The management of the perceived quality of care may be helpful in the prevention of burnout and distress in the workplace. Int J Occup Med Environ Health. 2019;32(6):841–51

Healthcare workers are representatives of occupations that are most exposed to high levels of stress in the work environment. These characteristics of work increase the probability of suffering from mental disorders. One aspect of mental disorder prevention in the workplace is the role of healthcare managers as those people who are responsible for minimizing the negative impact of work-related stress factors. Their role can be performed by creating effective initiatives supporting workers’ mental health. The need to support the implementation of such initiatives has been highlighted by the COVID-19 pandemic. The aim of the review is to summarize available types of managerial interventions in the field of mental health protection of medical staff, considering the assessment of their prevalence, determinants of effectiveness, and limitations from the perspective of healthcare managers. The article was prepared based on the literature review method and covered publications from original research in English and Polish, published until June 2023 in the following databases: PubMed, Google Scholar, and PsycINFO. In addition to the original research, the review also includes documents developed by international health organizations. The determinants of effective managerial interventions that can be used for the needs of managers and decision-makers in the field of mental health management in the workplace have been presented. The greatest widespread of mental health initiatives concerned the pandemic period, but now the key systemic task should be to maintain the frequency of impacts outside the pandemic period, due to the constant nature of stressors. The determinants of their effectiveness include, among others: incorporating elements of psychological knowledge into the process of educating managers, involving healthcare specialists in the development of programs, and examining the needs of the staff each time at the stage preceding interventions.
