The Role of Satisfaction With Job and Cognitive Trauma Processing in the Occurrence of Secondary Traumatic Stress Symptoms in Medical Providers Worki…
2022
Introduction: As an occupational group, medical providers working with victims of trauma are prone to negative consequences of their work, particularly secondary traumatic stress (STS) symptoms. Various factors affect susceptibility to STS, including work-related and organizational determinants, as well as individual differences. The aim of the study was to establish the mediating role of cognitive trauma processing in the relationship between job satisfaction and STS symptoms among medical providers.Procedure and Participants: Results were obtained from 419 healthcare providers working with victims of trauma (218 nurses and 201 paramedics). Three questionnaires, namely the Secondary Trauma…
Effectiveness of Organizational Interventions to Reduce Emergency Department Utilization: A Systematic Review
2012
BackgroundEmergency department (ED) utilization has dramatically increased in developed countries over the last twenty years. Because it has been associated with adverse outcomes, increased costs, and an overload on the hospital organization, several policies have tried to curb this growing trend. The aim of this study is to systematically review the effectiveness of organizational interventions designed to reduce ED utilization.Methodology/principal findingsWe conducted electronic searches using free text and Medical Subject Headings on PubMed and The Cochrane Library to identify studies of ED visits, re-visits and mortality. We performed complementary searches of grey literature, manual s…
Stakeholders’ expectations of Healthy Life Centers: A focus group study
2016
Aims: The aims of this study were to explore stakeholders’ expectations of municipal Healthy Life Centers (HLCs) in Norway, and to evaluate whether these expectations were compatible with current guidelines and recommendations. Methods: A multidisciplinary team of researchers arranged focus group sessions with Healthy Life Centre staff, municipality administration, county administration, general practitioners and representatives of three patient organizations. We audiotaped and transcribed the sessions verbatim. In analyses we used Systematic Text Condensation and an editing analysis style. Results: Expectations spanned from primary prevention among children to rehabilitation of adults wit…
Public Health physicians and empathy: are we really emphatic? The Jefferson Scale applied to Italian resident doctors in Public Health.
2013
Large gaps in care quality resulting from ineffective communication between health providers, patients, and other health care organizations have been documented. Research suggests that effective, empathic communication positively influences health outcomes. Many studies focused on the assessment of clinicians empathy, while there is still a lack of evidence on the role and level of empathy for public health medical doctors,especially during their postgraduate education. The aim of this study was to assess empathy level of public health residents, and to investigate differences in empathy scores using a validated questionnaire. The Italian version of the Jefferson scale of Physician Empathy …
Tumor Board and Molecular Tumor Board
2021
Specialized expertise and cooperation between different professional figures are increasingly needed for the management of cancer patients. Tumor boards (TB) can address this issue by gathering together different healthcare providers to periodically discuss challenging cases.
Peli, jota ei voi pelata : pelivideoiden kulttuuri
2014
Digitaaliseen pelaamiseen liittyvät kotitekoiset videot ovat yleistyneet internetin videopalveluiden myötä hurjasti. Tässä katsauksessa tarkastelen erilaisia videomuotoja, sekä niihin liittyvää tutkimusta ja muuta kirjoitusta. Ilmiöön on liittynyt runsaasti ristiriitaisuutta tekijänoikeuslaista johtuen, mutta kuten katsaus osoittaa, videot ovat selkeä osa nykypäivän pelikulttuuria. Home-made videos about digital gaming have grown their popularity greatly during the last few years, thanks to video-streaming services in internet. This review article focuses on aspects of those videos, with also looking at previous research and writings about the phenomenon. There has been a number of contradi…
Energy efficient resource allocation in heterogeneous software defined network: A reverse combinatorial auction approach
2015
In this paper, resource allocation for energy effi- ciency in heterogeneous Software Defined Network (SDN) with multiple network service providers (NSPs) is studied. The considered problem is modeled as a reverse combinatorial auction game, which takes different quality of service (QoS) requirements into account. The heterogeneous network selection associated with power allocation problem is optimized by maximizing the energy efficiency of data transmission. By exploiting the properties of fractional programming, the resulting non-convex Winner Determination Problem (WDP) is transformed into an equivalent subtractive convex optimization problem. The proposed reverse combinatorial auction ga…
Recenti tendenze in tema di responsabilità degli intermediari di Internet nella tradizione giuridica occidentale
2019
Il saggio prende in esame il dibattito circa la necessità di modificare gli attuali regimi di irresponsabilità degli intermediari della rete, dibattito in corso nelle esperienze statunitense ed unitaria europea. Con riferimento all’esperienza statunitense, non è chiaro, infatti, se il ricorso sempre più frequente alla procedura di notice and take down sia sintomo del successo del sistema di notice based liability, congegnato dal legislatore federale nel 1998 o sia, al contrario, espressione del suo fallimento. In tale ottica, al fine di verificare la possibilità di transitare da un sistema di notice and take down ad un sistema di notice and stay down, il saggio prende in esame le recenti in…
How do online communities matter? Comparison between active and non-active participants in an online behavioral weight loss program
2016
This paper contributes to the discussion on the potential of different social media platforms in health behavior change programs. More specifically, it compares the outcomes of participation in different online community platforms in an online behavioral weight loss program. Results show that active participants on online community platforms perceive their service experience more positively, follow instructions more precisely, have a more positive perception of achieving their goals, and also feel that they receive more social support than do those who do not actively participate in online community channels, although no differences were found related to weight loss itself. Furthermore, int…
