Abstract

Background & aim: One of the most important problems in the health sector, particularly in clinical centers, is the quality of healthcare. Patient safety is one of the most important elements in creating health care quality due to the fact that it is a critical component to the quality of health care and many errors are present in patient care and treatment practices..                                                               Thus, the aim of the present study was to determine the status of the patient safety culture and its relationship with events reported in Yasuj hospitals.

Methods: The present descriptive cross-sectional study was conducted on 361 medical staff of Yasuj hospitals. The data were collected through a hospital survey on patient safety culture. The collected data were analyzed by using SPSS statistics soft ware version 21, using Descriptive methods, Pearson Coefficient, ANOVA, and T-Test.

Results: The results of the present study revealed that the teamwork among hospital units (71/89percent), with expectations and management measures (66/38%) in the case of safety obtained the most score and non-punitive response to errors (48/79%) and manager support (55/88 percent) obtained the least score. 73/7% of employees of three hospitals in the past 12 months did not report any event. In addition, there was a meaningful statistical relationship between the total score of safety culture and reporting the events. In this study, 15.5 % of respondents assess their safety culture in work as good, 44.3 % as acceptable and 30.5 percent reported poor. The overall safety culture among the three studied hospitals was 61.81 %. Results confirmed that the culture safety of patient in studied hospitals was average.

Conclusions: The hospitals may rely on their strong points in terms of patient safety culture and try to remove their weak points to form a safe environment and appropriate atmosphere. By the same token, increasing the number of workers in administrative sections, a large amount of work, decreasing work time and creating a reporting system may help improve the safety and patient safety culture.

Abstract

Background & aim: High blood pressure is one of the most important causes of premature death worldwide. One of the ways to control high blood pressure is lifestyle modification, especially paying attention to nutritional behaviors, such as reducing the consumption of salt-containing foods, therefore the purpose of the present study was to investigate the application of social cognitive theory in adherence to a low-salt diet in patients with high blood pressure.
Methods: The present descriptive-cross-sectional study was conducted in 2021 on 100 patients with high blood pressure covered by comprehensive health centers in the city of Charam, located in the Kohgiluyeh and Boyer-Ahmad province. Data collection tools included a questionnaire on adherence to a low-sodium diet, based on a modified version of the self-care activities level adjustment questionnaire in hypertension, and a researcher-made questionnaire consisting of components from the Bandura Social Cognitive Theory, including self-efficacy, social support, and self-regulation. Patients meeting the inclusion criteria were randomly selected, and with the assistance of a disease specialist, questionnaires were completed. The collected data were analyzed using Pearson correlation and linear regression statistical tests.


Results: The participants' age ranged from 40 to 69 years, with a mean of 57.26 ± 29.7. 61% were female and 39% were male. 34 participants (34%) were illiterate, while 20 participants (20%) had university education. 27% had a family history of hypertension. The mean systolic blood pressure was 136.95 ± 10.22, and the mean diastolic blood pressure was 85.56 ± 5.44. The adherence rate to a low-salt diet among the studied patients was 32% (34% for females and 33% for males). Linear regression analysis revealed that the social cognitive theory predicts for 20% of the variance in adherence to a low-salt diet

Conclusion: The findings indicated a low level of adherence to a low- salt diet among the studied patients. This can serve as a warning sign for both these patients and the healthcare system. Implementing interventional treatment programs and utilizing educational strategies, particularly in the areas of family social support and self-regulation, can play a significant role in increasing adherence to a low-sodium diet and controlling hypertension for these individuals.

Abstract

Background & aim: Hookah use not only affects the physical and mental health of the individual, but also the health of other members of society. Studies indicate that hookah use has increased across age and gender groups. The aim of the present study was to determine the prevalence of hookah use and its associated factors in individuals aged 35 to 70 years.

Methods: The present prospective descriptive cross-sectional study was conducted on residents of Dena County, Iran, from 2016 to 2019. In the first phase of the study, 3630 people participated, and the data collected through experiments, questionnaires, and interviews were used in the registration phase of the Dena Cohort Study. This study is a population-based study and part of a prospective study that is being conducted in 18 regions of Iran. The collected data were analyzed using chi-square and logistic regression statistical tests.

Results: The study findings revealed that the prevalence rate of hookah use was 24% in total, which accounted for 28.30% and 18.3% in women and men, respectively (p<0.001). Over 24% of the study population similarly used to smoke cigarettes. The frequency of cigarette smoking in the male participants was 54.40%, which was higher than that in females(1.60%) (p<0.001). The logistic regression outcomes further indicated that the major sociodemographic risk factors contributing to hookah use in this region were the age range under 35, being divorced, unemployment, low educational attainment, low income, as well as chronic diseases like diabetes and depression.

Conclusion: The prevalence rate of hookah smoking in the study population was found to be high. The present study correspondingly demonstrated that unemployment and low educational attainment were the most significant risk factors affecting hookah use. Additionally, the prevalence rate of hookah smoking was higher in low-income families. As a result, implementing interventions and preventive measures to deal with this complicated social problem was of utmost importance.
