Introduction: Owing to daily exposure to high job stress, nurses need to use coping techniques. One of the coping strategies helping a person to cope with stressful situations effectively is resiliency skills. The aim of this cross-sectional study was to examine the factors related to nurses' resiliency during the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) epidemic.
Methods: The resiliency of 288 nurses, 145 nurses from the COVID-19 wards , and 143 nurses from other wards were compared using 25-item Connor & Davidson Resilience Questionnaire. This study was conducted in 2021 in four referral hospitals at Shiraz.
Results: The mean age of participants was 32 y. The average resilience score in the in the participants worked in COVID-19 wards was 95.30 for men and 87.72 for women, and in the non-COVID-19 wards was 85.82 for men and 88.48 for women. The mean resiliency scores of nurses working in COVID-19 and non-COVID-19 wards did not show a statistically significant difference. Factors affecting resilience included age, employment status, gender, and job expectancy.
Conclusions: In this study, the resiliency of nurses working in COVID-19 wards did not differed from that of working in non-COVID-19 ones. This result should be further investigated and elaborated. Health policymakers should consider job expectation, gender, age, and employment status of nurses when making plans for future pandemics.

Cardiac Specific Troponin I as Prognostic Factor among Non-COVID-19 Mechanically Ventilated Patients in a Tertiary Government Hospital: A Prospective Study.
Acta Med Philipp
November 2023
Department of Medicine, Quirino Memorial Medical Center.
Objective: The study aimed to investigate the relationship between cardiac Troponin I (cTnI) level and prognosis among mechanically ventilated patients in terms of mortality, prolonged mechanical ventilation, and tracheostomy rate.
Methods: This is a prospective cohort study conducted at Quirino Memorial Medical Center, a tertiary government hospital, over a period of ten (10) months. Seventy-six (76) mechanically ventilated adult patients admitted at the medical intensive care unit, surgical intensive care unit, medical wards, and centers for neurologic sciences were included in the study.

Objective: To describe antimicrobial usage (AMU) trends before and during the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic, between COVID-19 and non-COVID-19 wards, and if there was any association with a COVID-19 order set.
Design: Quasi-experimental retrospective interrupted time series analysis of AMU rates with a contemporaneous comparison of COVID-19 versus non-COVID-19 control wards. Analysis using incidence rate ratios (IRR) was conducted using a Poisson regression generalized linear model.

Design: Mixed-method design was used.
Methods: Data were collected from direct observation, hospital administrative database and a survey.
The impact of hospital saturation on non-COVID-19 hospital mortality during the pandemic in France: a national population-based cohort study.

RESHAPE - Research on Healthcare Performance Lab, Inserm U1290, Claude Bernard Lyon 1 University, Lyon, 69424, France.
Background: A previous study reported significant excess mortality among non-COVID-19 patients due to disrupted surgical care caused by resource prioritization for COVID-19 cases in France. The primary objective was to investigate if a similar impact occurred for medical conditions and determine the effect of hospital saturation on non-COVID-19 hospital mortality during the first year of the pandemic in France.
Methods: We conducted a nationwide population-based cohort study including all adult patients hospitalized for non-COVID-19 acute medical conditions in France between March 1, 2020 and 31 May, 2020 (1st wave) and September 1, 2020 and December 31, 2020 (2nd wave).
Objectives: Patients hospitalized for COVID-19 frequently develop hypoxemia and acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) after admission. In non-COVID-19 ARDS studies, admission to hospital wards with subsequent transfer to intensive care unit (ICU) is associated with worse outcomes. We hypothesized that initial admission to the ward may affect outcomes in patient with COVID-19 ARDS.
