Satisfaction of users and quality of services in the Centre for prevention and treatment of drug addicts
No full textZadovoljstvo in kakovost v zdravstvu počasi dohiteva sistemsko upravljanje zadovoljstva in kakovosti, kot ga najdemo v drugih, predvsem gospodarskih panogah. Dodana vrednost zadovoljstva in kakovosti v zdravstvu pa je velika.
V magistrskem delu predstavljamo zadovoljstvo uporabnikov in kakovost storitev v CPZOPD Celje. Problematika drog in zdravljenje odvisnosti je še vedno stigmatizirana, obrobna in pogosto spolitizirana tema. Kljub temu je odvisnost od prepovedanih drog široko družbeno razširjena, programi za preprečevanje in zdravljenje odvisnosti pa predstavljajo pomemben dejavnik zmanjševanja škode in zdravljenja.
Začetki sistematičnega zdravljenja odvisnosti segajo v leto 1995, 18 nastalih centrov za zdravljenje odvisnosti, ki organizacijsko delujejo v okviru zdravstvenih domov, pa se zadovoljstva uporabnikov in kakovosti loteva dokaj nesistematično, posamezno in zgolj v okviru razpoložljivih, to je pomanjkljivih oziroma nezadostnih znanj.
Cilj programa zdravljenja je zmanjševanje škode in vzpostavljanje abstinence uporabnikov programa. Menedžment kakovosti in visoko zadovoljstvo uporabnikov bo v programe privabilo več odvisnih od prepovedanih drog, kar bo posledično vplivalo na večjo zmanjševanje škode in večjo abstinenco odvisnih.Satisfaction and quality in health services slowly catches up systemic management of satisfaction and quality which can be found in other fields, especially economic industries. Though the added value of satisfaction and quality in health services is enormous.
In this masters thesis we introduce satisfaction of drug addicts and quality of services in the CPZOPD in Celje. The problem of drug abuse and treatment of drug addicts is still stigmatized, marginal and often a politicized topic. However, drug addiction is widely spread in our society and the programmes for its prevention and treatment represent an important element in reducing the damage and treatment.
The beginnings of systematical treatment of drug addiction extend to the year 1995, though the eighteen Centres for prevention and treatment of drug addicts which operate within Health centres engage themselves with the satisfaction of users and the quality of services quite unsystematically, individually and only within disposable, i.e. deficient or insufficient knowledge.
The goal of the treatment programme is to reduce the damage and establish abstinence of its users. The management of quality and high satisfaction of the users will attract more drug addicts into the programme which will consequently affect reducing the damage and enlarge the abstinence of drug addicts
Organizational Model of Safety and Quality Assurance in Psychiatric Patient Treatment in Terms of Diverse Participants
No full textV doktorski disertaciji smo se lotili raziskovanja varnosti in kakovosti obravnave psihiatričnega bolnika z vidika različnih deležnikov, posebej pa smo se osredotočili na pojav izbruha agresije in različnih oblik nasilja. Od različnih deležnikov smo v ospredje postavili zdravstveno nego, ki je med deležniki v procesu obravnave najbolj izpostavljena, še posebej med zaposlenimi v zdravstveni negi v psihiatričnih bolnišnicah, psihiatričnih domovih in CUDV. Dosedanje raziskave in disertacije na tem področju so redke, hkrati pa se večinoma »dotikajo« le medikamentoznih ukrepov. V teoretičnem delu smo predstavili različne vire in znanja o: zagotavljanju varnosti, kakovosti storitev, kakovosti v zdravstvu, zadovoljstvu uporabnikov, psihiatričnih boleznih in stanjih, nasilju psihiatričnih bolnikov in empiričnih podatkih ter regulaciji področja in njenih prednostih ter slabostih. V nadaljevanju smo predstavili predlagan organizacijski model obravnave agresije in funkcionalnega izobraževanja, ki smo ga 3 leta izvajali v določenih javnih zavodih. Za pripravo empiričnega dela smo s študenti 2. letnika magistrskega študija zdravstvene nege izvedli fokusno skupino, s katero smo želeli pridobiti večjo širino mnenj in istočasno testirati anketni vprašalnik. V empiričnem delu smo opravili raziskavo najbolj izpostavljenega profila (zdravstvena nega) v psihiatričnih bolnišnicah, domovih in CUDV. V raziskavi smo želeli ugotoviti vrsto in pogostost različnih oblik agresije, s katerimi se soočajo anketirani, ter ugotoviti uspešnost predlaganega organizacijskega modela. Skupno so na anketo odgovorile 303 osebe. Ugotovili smo, da se je v celotni populaciji z verbalnim nasiljem s strani bolnika v zadnjem letu srečalo 85,5 % anketiranih, s fizičnem nasiljem 74,9 %, na delu pa jih je bilo kadarkoli poškodovanih 55,8 % anketiranih. Pri zaposlenih v psihiatričnih bolnišnicah (n=203) se je z verbalnim nasiljem s strani bolnika v zadnjem letu srečalo 92,6 % anketiranih s fizičnem nasiljem 84,2 %, na delu pa jih je bilo kadarkoli poškodovanih 63,5 % anketiranih. Z raziskavo smo tudi potrdili uspešnost predlaganega organizacijskega modela.The research focus of the doctoral dissertation was the safety and quality of psychiatric patients’ treatment from the point of view of various stakeholders, with a pronounced stress on the occurrence of aggressive outbursts and various forms of violence. Out of various stakeholders, health care (especially employees in psychiatric hospitals, psychiatric homes and special education, work and care centres - SEWCC) was put forward, as the one being the most exposed in the process of patients’ treatment. Previous research and dissertations in this field are rare, and mainly touch upon medicamental measures. The theoretical part comprises the introduction to various sources and knowledge about safety management, service quality, health care quality, users’ satisfaction, psychiatric illnesses and conditions, violence by psychiatric patients, empirical data and the regulation of the field with its advantages and drawbacks. This is followed by the presentation of a proposed organizational and functional model of in-service training, which was conducted in certain psychiatric institutions over the time period of three years. To prepare the empirical part, a focus group with the second-year students of health care master’s degree programme was conducted, with the aim of achieving a broader spectrum of opinion and test the questionnaire. In the empirical part a study of the most exposed profile (health care) in psychiatric hospitals, homes and SEWCCs was undertaken. The goal was to determine the type and frequency of aggression the interviewees had to face, and to ascertain the success of the proposed organizational model of in-service training. Altogether 303 individuals participated in the study. It was established that 85.5% of all interviewees faced verbal aggression by the patients in the last year, 74.9% physical violence and that 55.8% of them were injured at their workplace at any time during their work history. With the employees in psychiatric hospitals (n=203), 92.6% faced verbal aggression by the patient, 84.2% physical violence and 63.5% were injured at their workplace at any time during their work history. The study also confirmed the success of the proposed organizational model of in-service training
Do more unequal countries redistribute more? does the median voter hypothesis hold?
No full textThe median voter hypothesis is important to endogenous growth theories because it provides the political mechanisms through which voters in more unequal countries re-distribute a greater proportion of income and thus (it is argued), by blunting incentives, reduce the country's growth rate. But he hypothesis was never properly tested because of lack of data on the distribution of (pre-tax and transfer) factor income across households, and hence on the exact amount of gain by the poorest quintile of poorest half. The author tests the hypothesis using t9 observations drawn from household budget surveys from 24 democracies. The data strongly support the hypothesis that countries with more unequal distribution of factor income redistribute more in favor of the poor - even when the analysis controls for the older people's share in total population (that is, for pension transfers). The evidence on the median voter hypothesis is much weaker. The author does find that middle-income groups gain more (or lose less) through redistribution in countries whereinitial (factor) income distribution is more unequal. This regularity evaporates, however, when pensions are dropped from social transfers and the focus is strictly on the more re-distributive social transfers.Income,Services&Transfers to Poor,Economic Theory&Research,Poverty Impact Evaluation,Environmental Economics&Policies,Inequality,Poverty Impact Evaluation,Economic Theory&Research,Safety Nets and Transfers,Services&Transfers to Poor
The Ricardian Vice: Why Sala-i-Martin’s calculations of world income inequality are wrong
No full textThe paper discusses recent world income inequality calculations by Sala- i-Martin. It shows that the two main problems with which the author had to grapple (too few data to derive countries’ income distributions, and sparseness of such data in time) are not solved in a satisfactory fashion. They, and several other simplifying assumptions, make Sala-i- Martin results very dubious. We argue that Sala-i-Martin has ended up by producing a population-weighted inter-national distribution of income augmented by a constant shift parameter and not a distribution of income among world citizens.income inequality, world, globalization
Is inequality in Africa really different ?
No full textHigh inequality in Africa is something of a paradox: Africa should be a low-inequality continent according to the Kuznets hypothesis (because African countries are poor and agriculture-based), and also because land (the main asset) is widely shared. The author's hypothesis is that African inequality is politically determined. Yet in the empirical analysis, despite the introduction of several political variables, there is still an inequality-increasing"Africa effect"linked to ethnic fractionalization. The politics, however, may work through ethnic fractionalization, which provides an easy and secure basis for the formation of political groups. Although this is a plausible explanation, it is not fully satisfactory, and the author criticizes it in the concluding section.Services&Transfers to Poor,Earth Sciences&GIS,Economic Theory&Research,Poverty Impact Evaluation,Human Rights,Inequality,Poverty Impact Evaluation,Governance Indicators,Earth Sciences&GIS,Services&Transfers to Poor
Response of the prison institutions to the COVID-19 epidemic
No full textUvod: Zaradi velikega števila zaprtih oseb, vključno s zdravstveno ranljivimi osebami, ki živijo skupaj v zaprtem prostoru, so zavodi za prestajanje kazni zapora visoko tvegano okolje za izbruhe različnih nalezljivih bolezni kot je COVID-19. Namen magistrskega dela je bil raziskati, kako so se zavodi za prestajanje kazni zapora odzvali na epidemijo COVID-19.
Metode: Izvedena je bila raziskava, ki je temeljila na kvantitativni metodologiji (n = 200). Kot raziskovalni instrument smo uporabili nestandardiziran anketni vprašalnik. Podatki so bili analizirani z deskriptivno in inferenčno statistiko. Rezultati: Raziskava je pokazala, da so anketiranci dosledno upoštevali preventivne ukrepe za preprečevanje širjenja virusa. Do statistično značilnih razlik v doslednem upoštevanju preventivnih ukrepov v prvem in drugem valu epidemije COVID-19 je prišlo pri higieni kašlja, uporabi zaščitne maske ter razkuževanju rok. Prav tako so anketiranci
z enim ali več kroničnimi obolenji statistično značilno bolj dosledno upoštevali navodila za higieno kašlja kot anketiranci brez kroničnih obolenj.
Razprava in zaključek: Dosledno upoštevanje preventivnih ukrepov za preprečevanje širjenja okužb je ključnega pomena za preprečevanje izbruhov bolezni v zavodih in za zaščito zdravja vseh oseb v skupnosti. Ciljani izobraževalni program in intervencije za zaposlene bi pripomogli k zmanjšanju tveganja za širjenje okužb v zavodih za prestajanje kazni zapora.Introduction: Due to the large number of incarcerated persons, including medically vulnerable persons living together, prison facilities are a high-risk environment for outbreaks of various infectious diseases such as COVID-19. This masters thesis aimed to investigate how educational institutions responded to the COVID-19 epidemic. Methods: A survey based on quantitative methodology (n = 200) was conducted. A non-standardized survey questionnaire was chosen as a research instrument. Data were analysed with descriptive and inferential statistics. Results: The survey showed that the respondents consistently followed preventive measures to prevent the spread of the virus. Statistically significant differences in the consistent adherence to preventive measures in the first and second wave of the COVID-19 epidemic occurred in cough hygiene, protective mask use, and hand disinfection. Also, respondents with one or more chronic diseases followed the cough hygiene instructions more consistently than respondents without chronic diseases. Discussion and conclusion: Consistent implementation of preventive measures to prevent the spread of infections is crucial to prevent disease outbreaks in institutions and to protect the health of all persons in the community. A targeted educational program and interventions for staff would help reduce the risk of infection spreading in
