The relationship between occupant behaviour and indoor air quality in Malaysian hospital outpatient departments: A multistage cross-sectional study.

Introduction: Poor indoor air quality (IAQ) in healthcare settings may adversely impact occupants' well-being and promote transmission of infectious respiratory disease. However, evidence on its potentially modifiable determinants, including occupant behaviour, remains scarce. This study aims to determine the relationship between occupant behaviour and IAQ in Malaysian hospital outpatient departments (OPDs).

Hospital indoor air quality and its relationships with building design, building operation, and occupant-related factors: A mini-review.

Indoor air quality (IAQ) has recently gained substantial traction as the airborne transmission of infectious respiratory disease becomes an increasing public health concern. Hospital indoor environments are complex ecosystems and strategies to improve hospital IAQ require greater appreciation of its potentially modifiable determinants, evidence of which are currently limited. This mini-review updates and integrates findings of previous literature to outline the current scientific evidence on the relationship between hospital IAQ and building design, building operation, and occupant-related factors.

The Prevalence and Work-Related Factors of Burnout Among Public Health Workforce During the COVID-19 Pandemic.

Objective: To examine the prevalence of burnout and its work-related factors among public health providers (PHP) during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Methods: We surveyed 366 PHP in May 2021 on their burnout, demographic, and work-related characteristics. Logistic regression analyses were conducted to identify associated factors.
