Objectives: Patient safety is poorly developed in dentistry. The aim of this study was to evaluate the level of patient safety perception and quality culture in French university dental hospitals.
Methods: A national survey was performed using a questionnaire that was sent electronically to dental students, teachers, senior professionals, and paramedics of the university dental clinics that volunteered to participate.
Article Synopsis
- A nationwide study in France compared nursing workloads between intensive and intermediate care in ICUs, gathering data on the Nursing Activities Score from over 21,000 patients and 9,800 nursing measurements.
- Results showed that the median Nursing Activities Score was significantly higher for intensive care patients (61%) than for intermediate care patients (47%), indicating more demanding workloads in intensive settings.
- The study suggests that to alleviate high nurse workloads, a reevaluation of nurse-to-patient ratios and possible physical separation of care levels may be needed.
Background: The study analyzes health care workers' (HCWs) occupational risk perception and compares exposure to occupational risk factors in Moroccan and French hospitals.
Method: Across nine public hospitals from three Moroccan regions (north, center and south), a 49 item French questionnaire, based on the Job Content Questionnaire, and 4 occupational risks subscales, was distributed to 4746 HCWs. Internal consistency of the study was determined for each subscale.
Background: International studies on occupational risks in public hospitals are infrequent and only few researchers have focused on psychosocial stress in Moroccan Health Care Workers (HCWs). The aim of this study was to present and analyze Moroccan HCWs occupational risk perception. Across nine public hospitals from three Moroccan regions (northern, central and southern), a 49 item French questionnaire with 4 occupational risks subscales, was distributed to 4746 HCWs.
