The Effect Of Workload On The Work Productivity Of Nurses At Pemangkat Regional General Hospital Sambas Regency
No full textWorkload is one of the critical factors influencing nurses’ productivity in hospital settings. Excessive workload may lead to fatigue, stress, and decreased concentration, ultimately compromising service quality and patient safety. At Pemangkat Regional General Hospital, Sambas Regency, the imbalance between the number of nurses and patients, combined with limited resources, contributes to increased workload and reduced productivity. This study aims to analyze the effect of workload on the work productivity of nurses. This study employed a quantitative approach with a cross-sectional design. A total of 172 nurses were selected through simple random sampling. The workload variable was measured using the Copenhagen Psychosocial Questionnaire III (COPSOQ III), while work productivity was measured using the Indonesian version of the Individual Work Performance Questionnaire (IWPQ). Primary data were collected through self-administered questionnaires, and data analysis was performed using IBM SPSS Statistics version 25. Statistical tests included univariate, bivariate, and multivariate analyses with a 95% confidence level. The Chi-Square test was used to examine the relationship between variables, and linear regression analysis was conducted to determine the influence of workload on productivity. The findings showed that 59.3% of nurses experienced a high workload, and 51.7% were categorized as unproductive. Statistical analysis indicated a significant relationship between workload and nurse productivity (p = 0.011). The Prevalence Ratio (PR) value of 2.232 (95% CI: 1.200–4.152) revealed that nurses with high workloads are 2.2 times more likely to be unproductive than those with lower workloads. High workload negatively affects nurses’ performance by increasing fatigue, psychological strain, and reducing motivation. Effective workload management through adequate staffing, equitable scheduling, and supportive leadership are crucial to maintain nurses’ well-being and optimize productivity. Workload has a significant affects nurse productivity at Pemangkat Regional General Hospital. Implementing workload control strategies is recommended to sustain productivity and service quality
THE RELATIONSHIP OF SLEEP QUANTITY AND QUALITY WITH DEMENTIA IN TANKER SHIP SAILERS
Full text linkIntroduction : Sleep is an important aspect that plays a role in health and thinking processes. Seafaring is a job with a high level of mobilization and uncertain working hours causing less sleep time and having fatal consequences for health as such dementia. As less as reduction in 1% of deep sleep per year for people whohad ages over 60 years reflected as 27% improving the risk of dementia. Aims : This study aimed to help determining the influence of the quantity and quality of sleep and the level of dementia in tanker sailors PT. X Jakarta. Method : This research is a mixed qualitative and quantitative research with a cross-sectional approach with a total of 43 respondents selected by using random sampling techniques. The dependent variable used is the sailor's dementia level and the independent one is the sailor's sleep quality. It was found that 30 respondents had poor sleep quality, Based on the MMSE questionnaire’s results, there are 15 respondents had moderate levels of dementia and 5 respondents had severe levels of dementia. Result : The results of statistical tests using Pearson with SPSS software obtained a Sig value. (2-tailed) between the sleep quality variable and dementia is 0.000 < 0.05, so it is meant that there is a significant correlation of sleep quality toward dementia. Conclusion : This study concluded that there was a correlation of sleep quality and dementia in PT. X Jakarta
Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
Full text linkThe present study examines one of the fundamental aspects of author co-citation analysis (ACA) - the way co-citation
counts are defined. Co-citation counting provides the data on which all subsequent statistical analyses and mappings
are based, and we compare ACA results based on two different types of co-citation counting - the traditional type that
only counts the first one among a cited work's authors on the one hand and a non-traditional type that takes into
account the first 5 authors of a cited work on the other hand. Results indicate that the picture produced through this non-traditional author co-citation counting contains more coherent author groups and is therefore considerably clearer. However, this picture represents fewer specialties in the research field being studied than that produced through the traditional first-author co-citation counting when the same number of top-ranked authors is selected and analyzed. Reasons for these effects are discussed
Variations on the Author
Full text link“Variations on the Author” discusses two of Eduardo Coutinho’s recent films (Um Dia na Vida, from 2010, and Últimas Conversas, posthumously released in 2015) and their contribution to the general question of documentary authorship. The director’s filmography is characterized by a consistent yet self-effacing form of authorial self-inscription: Coutinho often features as an interviewer that rather than express opinions propels discourses; an interviewer that is good at listening. This mode of self-inscription characterizes him as an author who is not expressive but who is nonetheless markedly present on the screen. In Um Dia na Vida, however, Coutinho is completely absent form the image, while Últimas Conversas, on the contrary, includes a confessional prologue that moves the director from the margins to the center of his films. This article examines the ways in which these works stand out in the filmography of a director who offers new insights into the notion of cinematic authorship
Appropriate Similarity Measures for Author Cocitation Analysis
Full text linkWe provide a number of new insights into the methodological discussion about author cocitation analysis. We first argue that the use of the Pearson correlation for measuring the similarity between authors’ cocitation profiles is not very satisfactory. We then discuss what kind of similarity measures may be used as an alternative to the Pearson correlation. We consider three similarity measures in particular. One is the well-known cosine. The other two similarity measures have not been used before in the bibliometric literature. Finally, we show by means of an example that our findings have a high practical relevance.information science;Pearson correlation;cosine;similarity measure;author cocitation analysis
Dispelling the Myths Behind First-author Citation Counts
Full text linkWe conducted a full-scale evaluative citation analysis study of scholars in the XML research field to explore just how different from each other author rankings resulting from different citation counting methods actually are, and to demonstrate the capability of emerging data and tools on the Web in supporting more realistic citation counting methods. Our results contest some common arguments for the continued
use of first-author citation counts in the evaluation of scholars, such as high correlations between author rankings by first-author citation counts and other citation
counting methods, and high costs of using more realistic citation counting methods that are not well-supported by the ISI databases. It is argued that increasingly available digital full text research papers make it possible for citation analysis studies to go beyond what the ISI databases have directly supported and to employ more
sophisticated methods
Mental Health Literacy and Mental Help-Seeking Intention among Female Healthcare Workers: A Cross-Sectional Study
Full text linkMental health literacy is regarded as a significant factor influencing an individual's intention to seek professional psychological help when confronted with mental health issues. The elevated psychosocial risks inherent to the profession of healthcare work render these individuals particularly susceptible to mental health issues, with a higher prevalence observed among females. This study aims to assess the relationship between mental health literacy and mental help-seeking intention among female healthcare workers, and to explore potential associations between sociodemographic characteristics and these variables. Methods: A total of 140 female healthcare workers were surveyed. The data collection instrument included socio-demographic characteristics, Mental Health Literacy (MHL), and Mental Help-Seeking Intention Scale (MHSIS) questionnaire. Data were analyzed using Kruskal-Wallis, Pearson correlation, simple and multiple linear regression. The results showed that mental health literacy showed a significant positive correlation with mental help-seeking intention (r = 0.395, p < 0.001). Simple linear regression indicated MHL significantly predicted help-seeking intention (β = 0.395, p < 0.001). Multiple linear regression controlling for age, tenure, and marital status confirmed MHL remained a significant predictor (β = 0.375, p < 0.001). However, Kruskal-Wallis tests found no significant differences in variables by socio-demographic factors (p > 0.05). The findings highlight the importance of mental health literacy in influencing an individual’s intention to seek professional help. Although socio-demographic factors showed no significant effect, mental health literacy remains a key factor in addressing mental health issues among female healthcare workers
koamabayili/VECTRON-author-checklist: VECTRON author checklist
No full textWe have done our best to complete the author checklist relating to the use of animals in the hut study. Note that the objective for the hut study was to evaluate the IRS treatment applications for residual efficacy against Anopheles mosquitoes, including the local An. coluzzii mosquito population. Cows were only used to attract mosquitoes into the huts and no tests were carried out directly on the cows. The author checklist is intended for use with studies where experiments are carried out on animals, which is why we have had such difficulty in completing this for the hut study, as many of the questions do not relate to how the cows were used
