Objetivos. Estimar la frecuencia y los factores asociados a la violencia laboral externa tipo amenaza (VLETA) contra médicos en servicios de salud hospitalarios de Lima Metropolitana, Perú. Materiales y Métodos. Se desarrolló un estudio transversal analítico que incluyó médicos del Ministerio de Salud (MINSA), la Seguridad Social (EsSalud) y el subsector privado. Se midió la frecuencia de VLETA durante toda la práctica profesional, en los últimos doce meses y en el último mes. Se midieron variables relacionadas al médico, al agresor y al servicio de salud. Se estimaron razones de prevalencia (RPs) cruda y ajustada mediante un modelo lineal generalizado familia Poisson con bootstrap no paramétrico. Resultados. Participaron 406 médicos. El 31,5% fueron víctimas de VLETA al menos una vez durante su práctica profesional; 19,9% en los últimos doces meses y 7,6% en el último mes. La probabilidad de ser amenazado en los últimos doce meses aumentó si el médico era varón (RPa:1,7;IC95%:1,1-2,8), egresado de una universidad peruana fuera de Lima Metropolitana (RPa:1,5; IC95%:1,1-2,4), laboraba en MINSA (RPa:7,9;IC95%:2,24-50,73) o en EsSalud (RPa:8,68; IC95%:2,26-56,17), y atendía en emergencia (RPa:1,9;IC95%:1,2-3,6) o en sala de operaciones (RPa:1,6 IC95%:1,1-2,3). La edad, los años de práctica profesional o ser médico residente no se asociaron a VLETA. Conclusiones. En los hospitales estudiados, una alta proporción de médicos ha sido víctima de VLETA. Laborar en servicios públicos aumenta dicha probabilidad. Se sugiere implementar estrategias de prevención primaria, identificación y soporte en los establecimientos hospitalarios. / Objectives. To calculate the frequency and factors associated with external workplace violence (EWV) against doctors in health inpatient services in the metropolitan area of Lima (Spanish: Lima Metropolitana), Peru. Materials and methods. A cross-sectional analytic study, which included doctors from the Ministry of Health (MINSA), Social Security (EsSalud), and the private subsector, was carried out. The frequency of EWV was measured throughout the entire professional practice during the previous 12 months and during the last month. Variables related to the doctor, assailant, and health service were measured. Raw and adjusted prevalence ratios (PR) were calculated by means of a Poisson-family generalized linear model with non-parametric bootstrapping. Results. A total of 406 doctors participated; 31.5% were victims of EWV at least once during their professional practice, with 19.9% over the past 12 months and 7.6% during the last month. The chances of being threatened in the last 12 months increased if the doctor was male (adjusted PR [aPR]: 1.7; 95% confidence interval [CI] = 1.1- 2.8), had graduated from a Peruvian university outside of the metropolitan area of Lima (aPR: 1.5; 95% CI = 1.1-2.4), worked at MINSA (aPR: 7.9; 95% CI = 2.24-50.73) or EsSalud (RR: 8.68; 95% CI = 2.26-56.17), and worked in the emergency (aPR: 1.9; 95% CI = 1.2-3.6) or operating room (aPR: 1.6; 95% CI = 1.1-2.3). Age, years of professional practice, or being a medical resident were not associated with EWV. Conclusion. In the hospitals studied, a large number of doctors have been victims of EWV. Working in public services increases the possibility of violence. Implementation of support, identification, and primary prevention strategies in hospitals is recommended.

The Last Call: Physicians Who Deliver House Calls at the End of Life: A Retrospective Cohort Study of Primary Care Physicians and Their Home Care Practices in Ontario, CanadaScott, Mary 31 March 2022 (has links)
Introduction: Home visits have become increasingly uncommon although evidence suggests they improve healthcare quality and reduce overall expenditures. This thesis identifies the number and proportion of physician delivering home visits at patient’s end of life and describes characteristics of primary care physicians delivering end-of-life home visits and explores associations with delivery.
Method: A retrospective cohort design using population-level health administrative data housed at ICES.
Results: A total of 9,884 physicians were identified, of which 2,568 (25.7%) delivered at least one end-of-life home visit. Variables associated with increased odds of home visit delivery were older age, international training, capitation models of remuneration, and population size.
Conclusions: This research demonstrates primary care physician’s characteristics and home visit practice patterns. This study aims to improve end-of-life primary care at a system and provider level by identifying factors associated with increased service provision. Increasing physician home services could greatly improve the dying experience of Canadians.

An audit of diabetic care provided to patients conducted by a doctor-nurse team in a general practiceNavsa, Desiree Miriam 20 July 2017 (has links)
Introduction: I am a general practitioner in solo practice in Athlone. I work closely with a qualified nursing sister. Many of the patients we attend to have non-insulin dependent diabetes mellitus. Aim: To implement change in the management of our patients with diabetes by developing a protocol for future improved care. Objective: To assess the quality of care provided to patients with (NIDDM), by a doctor - nurse team in private general practice. Method : The study was quantitative and qualitative and consisted of 3 sections : 1) an internal audit based on the retrospective examination of patients' medical records, 2) a questionnaire which was administered to determine patients' knowledge of their disease and 3) a focus group interview which centred around patients' experience of the disease and feelings about the service provided. The interview was audio taped. Findings: Problem areas identified were sub-optimal record keeping; poor attendance and infrequent eye and foot examinations; patients' knowledge of their disease was limited; certain aspects of doctor-patient and patient-family relationships that may impact negatively on care; fears and anxieties relating to the disease and perceptions oflocus of control as external.

Avaliação da empatia de estudantes de medicina em uma universidade na cidade de São Paulo utilizando dois instrumentos / Evaluating empathy in undergraduate medical students from a University in São Paulo using two questionnairesMoreto, Graziela 13 April 2015 (has links)
Objetivo: avaliar o grau de empatia dos estudantes de medicina e suas mudanças durante o curso médico de uma Faculdade na cidade de São Paulo, Brasil. Método: Estudo descritivo, comparativo e transversal. Amostra não aleatória de 296 alunos. O estudo foi conduzido de Setembro até Dezembro de 2013. A avaliação da empatia foi realizada usando a escala de empatia médica de Jefferson (JSPE) na versão para estudantes de medicina, e a escala multidimensional de reatividade interpessoal de Davis (EMRI) na versão validade e adaptada no Brasil. Ambas escalas foram aplicadas simultaneamente a cada aluno. A JSPE contém 20 itens que são respondidos de acordo com a variante de escala de Likert de sete pontos (Concordo = 7 / Discordo = 1) .Esta escala avalia atributos cognitivos da empatia. A EMRI contém 21 itens que são respondidos de acordo com a escala de Likert de cinco pontos ( Descreve-me muito bem = 5 / Não me descreve muito bem = 1). Esta escala avalia tanto componentes cognitivos quanto afetivos da empatia. Os alunos foram divididos em três grupos de acordo com o ano da graduação: o grupo básico (1º e 2º ano), grupo clínico (3º e 4º ano ) e o grupo do internato (5 º e 6 º ano), e foram comparados os escores de empatia entre os três grupos. Resultados: Ao aplicar JSPE não houve uma diferença significativa quando comparado o escore entre os 3 grupos. Por outro lado ao aplicar a EMRI foi identificado um escore de empatia significativamente menor no grupo do internato quando avaliado o componente afetivo (p < 0,01). Tanto na JSPE quanto na EMRI, as mulheres obtiveram os melhores escores de empatia (p < 0,01) quando comparada aos homens. Os alunos que pretendiam seguir especialidade clínica obtiveram escore de empatia maior quando comparada com especialidade cirúrgica utilizando tanto a JSPE (p=0,05) quanto a EMRI (p < 0,01). Conclusões: O nível de empatia pode mudar e, neste caso, a dimensão afetiva é a mais afetada durante o curso médico. A identificação desta erosão afetiva mostra a necessidade de elaborar estratégias educacionais efetivas que possam contribuir para uma boa formação do futuro profissional médico / Purpose: This study was designed to examine changes in medical students\' empathy during medical school in São Paulo, Brazil. Method: Descriptive, comparative and cross-sectional study. Not randomized sample of 296 students. The study was conducted from September to December 2013. The empathy evaluation was performed using the Jefferson Scale of Physician Empathy (JSPE), version for medical students, and the Davis\'s multidimensional Interpersonal Reactivity Index (EMRI), both of then being applied simultaneously to each student. The JSPE contains 20 items that are answered according to the scale of Likert variant of seven points (7= completely in agreement / 1= completely in disagreement). It is important to emphasize that this scale assesses cognitive attributes of empathy. The EMRI contains 21 items that are answered according to the scale of Likert variant of five ponts (5= describe me very well /1= not describe me very well). This scale assesses cognitive and affective attributes of empathy. The students were divided into three groups, according to the year of professional career: the Basic Group (1st and 2 nd year), the Clinical Group (3rd and 4th year) and the Clerkship group (5th and 6th year). The score of empathy between the three groups was compared. Results: The JSPE scores were similar among the students from the Basic, Clinical and Clerkship groups (p=0.53). On the other hand, the affective dimension of EMRI revealed a significantly lower score in the Clerkship Group (p < 0.01). Women obtained better scores for empathy compared to men, in both scales (p < 0,01). Students who intended to follow clinical careers had higher empathy scores when compared to those who intended to follow surgical careers so when applied to JSPE (p = 0.05) as the EMRI (p < 0.01). Conclusions: The level of empathy can change and in this case, the affective dimension is most affected during medical school. The identification of affective erosion support the need to develop effective educational strategies that contribute to a good training medical professional future
