PPE Use in Healthcare Settings I: Donning

1.5K
Donning PPE must be completed before contact with the patient. This process protects from infectious agents. The sequence and action included in each donning are critical, and the steps must be systematic to avoid exposure to pathogens. The institutional policy also needs to be followed while donning PPE. The pre-donning preparations are gathering equipment, inspecting the PPE equipment for tears, holes, or damage, removing jewelry, removing any garments below the elbows, and tying the hair...

Patient-centered Care

2.7K
Patient-centered care involves delivering care beyond inpatient hospitalization. Reflective practice can enhance a patient-centered approach. Reflective practice is a process of reasoning that considers all aspects of the present situation, including practicalities, learning from personal practice, and consideration of patient needs. Patients appreciate care decisions made while considering their input. Involving the patient in their care provides the patient with a sense of contribution rather...

Peripheral Artery Disease III: Interprofessional Care

150
Peripheral Artery Disease (PAD) is characterized by narrowed arteries that diminish blood flow to the extremities. Effective management of PAD requires an interprofessional approach involving various healthcare professionals. The critical aspects of interprofessional care for PAD patients focus on risk factor modification, drug therapy, exercise therapy, nutrition therapy, critical limb ischemia care, and interventional radiology and surgical procedures.The primary treatment goal for PAD...

Area of Science:

  • Medical Research
  • Public Health
  • Occupational Health

Background:

  • The COVID-19 pandemic poses significant risks to healthcare workers, particularly frontline physicians.
  • Previous infectious disease outbreaks indicate a heightened risk of burnout among healthcare professionals during pandemics.
  • Understanding the impact on emergency physicians (EPs) is crucial for targeted support and intervention.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To prospectively evaluate the effect of the COVID-19 pandemic on the wellness of emergency physicians (EPs).
  • To compare the psychological and emotional well-being of EPs during the pandemic versus the pre-pandemic period.

Main Methods:

  • A survey was administered to 137 emergency physicians within a multi-hospital network in eastern Pennsylvania.
  • Physicians' well-being was assessed using 10 primary and 2 supplemental questions, comparing the COVID-19 period (prior 2-3 weeks) to the pre-COVID-19 period (prior 4-6 months).
  • A response rate of 40.1% (55 physicians) was achieved.

Main Results:

  • Emergency physicians reported a statistically significant decrease in overall wellness during the COVID-19 pandemic.
  • Key findings include reduced feelings of control (p=0.001), decreased workplace happiness (p=0.001), and increased sleep disturbances (p=0.001).
  • Physicians experienced heightened dread regarding work (p=0.04), increased stress on non-work days (p<0.0001), and greater concern for their own health and that of loved ones (p<0.0001).

Conclusions:

  • The COVID-19 pandemic has demonstrably and significantly impacted the wellness of emergency physicians.
  • Findings underscore the critical need for awareness and implementation of evidence-based strategies to mitigate burnout risk.
  • Proactive measures are essential to support the well-being of frontline healthcare providers during public health emergencies.
