Prehospital emergency care family satisfaction scale for care provided by emergency medical technicians: Scale development and validation.

Rationale: To date, family satisfaction with emergency medical technicians (EMTs) has only been reported through narrative statements in subjective evaluations. Although a quantitative assessment of healthcare professional satisfaction is desirable, no specific measures have been devised to assess family satisfaction with the healthcare and care provided by EMTs.

Aims And Objectives: This study aimed to develop and validate an EMT care family satisfaction scale to measure patient satisfaction with prehospital emergency care.

Influence of Personal and Work Environments on Work-Life Balance Among Emergency Medical Technicians.

Introduction Work-life balance (WLB) is a critical concern for emergency medical technicians (EMTs) because it significantly affects the provision of comprehensive emergency medical services (EMS). This study investigated personal and work-related factors influencing work-to-family negative spillover (WFNS), a key element of WLB, among EMTs. Methods A web-based survey was conducted from July 26 to September 13, 2021, among EMTs in Hokkaido, Japan.

Tazobactam/ceftolozane and tobramycin combination therapy in extensively drug-resistant Pseudomonas aeruginosa infections in severe burn injury: a case report.

Background: Combination therapy with tazobactam/ceftolozane (TAZ/CTLZ) and high-dose aminoglycosides has been reported to be efficacious in extensively drug-resistant (XDR)-Pseudomonas aeruginosa infection. However, there are no reports of efficacy in XDR-P. aeruginosa infection for combination therapy with low-dose aminoglycosides and TAZ/CTLZ.

Prehospital emergency care patient satisfaction scale [PECPSS] for care provided by emergency medical teams: Scale development and validation.

The purpose of this study was to develop and validate an emergency medical technician (EMT) care patient satisfaction scale to measure patient satisfaction with prehospital emergency care. To date, patient satisfaction surveys of EMTs have been performed subjectively, e using each facility's questionnaire, without the use of a validated patient satisfaction scale. However, no specific scale has been devised to assess patient satisfaction with EMTs.

Influence of work and family environment on burnout among emergency medical technicians.

Objective: Burnout among emergency medical technicians is a serious problem affecting delivery of quality emergency medical services. Although the repetitive nature of the job and lower education level requirements for technicians have been reported as risk factors, little is known about the influence of burden of responsibility, degree of supervisor support, and home environment on burnout among emergency medical technicians. This study aimed to test the hypothesis that burden of responsibility, degree of supervisor support, and home environment increase burnout probability.

Early favipiravir treatment was associated with early defervescence in non-severe COVID-19 patients.

Introduction: The antiviral drug favipiravir has been shown to have in vitro antiviral activity against severe-acute-respiratory-syndrome-coronavirus-2 (SARS-CoV-2). In this study, we investigated the clinical benefits and initiation of favipiravir treatment in patients with non-severe coronavirus-disease-2019 (COVID-19).

Methods: This study was a single-center retrospective cohort study.
