Lagos State Hospital Waste Management Practices: A Descriptive Overview with Stakeholders’ Role and Key Recommendations

Background: Waste generation and its disposal is an essential issue in the sustainability of the environment and the planet’s future. Waste management is essential across sectors, likewise the health sector. Therefore, there is a need to employ extra care and attention to handling waste generated from healthcare facilities to avoid the dangers of poor biomedical waste management. We carried out this study to examine the waste management practice in healthcare facilities in Lagos State. Methods: The study was a descriptive survey carried out in one-thousand two hundred and fifty-six (1256) healthcare facilities in Lagos State. Nine hundred sixty-nine (969) of these facilities are located in urban areas, while two hundred and eighty-seven (287) are rural. The facilities studied are government/public health facilities (15.45%), private-for-profit facilities (82.88%), NGOs, Mission/Faith-Based medical facilities (1.67%). The data collected were analyzed using descriptive statistics. Specifically, we utilized bar charts, frequency, and percentage. Result: The result shows that 98.4% (1236) of the studied facilities are registered with the Lagos State Waste Management Authority (LAWMA), while 1.6% (20) are not registered. 98.5% (191) of the 194 government-owned facilities, 98.5% (1025) of the 1041 private-for-profit facilities, and 98.2% (20) of the 21 NGOs/faith-based health facilities are registered with Lagos State Waste Management Authority. The result also shows that 94% of the healthcare facilities studied in Lagos State use color-coded waste bags to segregate waste at the point of origin. 58.7% of the facilities use red-colored bags, 33.3% use yellow-colored bags, 10.7% use black-colored bags, and 1.3% use brown biohazard bags for segregating Infectious waste. Also, 34.2% of the health facilities in Lagos state use red-colored bags, 36.9% use yellow-colored bags, 11% use black-colored bags, and 4.1% use brown-colored bags to segregate their hazardous waste. Conclusion: Some healthcare facilities in Lagos State do not follow the recommended guidelines for medical waste segregation. Waste generated is not appropriately segregated at the point of origin into the recommended colored bags/bins in some facilities. Thus, a policy and procedure regulating healthcare waste are mandatory. It is important to regularly train healthcare workers on proper waste management practices and encourage staff to read and apply WHO rules in managing healthcare waste. Healthcare personnel should realize that hazardous material is a potential cause of a public disaster.

Management of work place bullying in hospital:A review of the use of cognitive rehearsal as an alternative management strategy

Lateral violence is not uncommon in workplaces.Unfortunately,nursing,a profession that builds its practice on compassion and code of ethics while caring for their patients is not spared from this phenomenon of lateral violence.Studies have reported cases of lateral violence among nurses to occur frequently worldwide.The impact of lateral violence has serious repercussions not only on the health of bullied victims but also on the structure and financial spending of the organisation.More importantly,the potential latent impacts on the patients'safety and health is of great concern.This literature review suggests that the contributing factors towards lateral violence are mainly due to characteristics of perpetrators,victims'reaction to bullying and organisation's characteristic.To mitigate the impact of lateral violence among young and inexperienced nurses,a cognitive rehearsal scripted response is proposed to prevent harassment and bullying incidents from becoming a feature at the workplace for nurses.

Implementation of Knowledge Management in Chinese Hospitals

The implementation of knowledge management （KM） in hospitals affects efficiency and outcomes of hospitals. However, few studies explored the implementation of KM in China. Twenty-two questions were designed concerning KM implementation status in over 50 hospitals. In order to understand the KM level and attitude to KM of the hospital＇s managers, a random sampling survey was conducted among 138 managers from 50 different scales of hospitals in 15 provinces of China. The survey showed that overall level of KM implementation in Chinese hospitals was still low and differed among different scales of hospitals （P〈0.05, or P〈0.01）. In all the hospitals investigated, 63.8% did not implement KM yet, among which 46% even had not planned for that. 49.8% of the hospitals investigated had no training program about KM ever and the main source of hospital staff to get knowledge was internet. It suggested that hospital managers should make much more efforts to get to know and understand theories on KM, so that hospital KM could be promoted more rapidly.

Analysis on Nutritional Risk Screening and Influencing Factors of Hospitalized Patients in Central Urban Area

Rational nutritional support shall be based on nutritional screening and nutritional assessment. This study is aimed to explore nutritional risk screening and its influencing factors of hospitalized patients in central urban area. It is helpful for the early detection of problems in nutritional supports, nutrition management and the implementation of intervention measures, which will contribute a lot to improving the patient＇s poor clinical outcome. A total of three tertiary medical institutions were enrolled in this study. From October 2015 to June 2016, 1202 hospitalized patients aged ≥18 years were enrolled in Nutrition Risk Screening 2002（NRS2002） for nutritional risk screening, including 8 cases who refused to participate, 5 cases of same-day surgery and 5 cases of coma. A single-factor chi-square test was performed on 312 patients with nutritional risk and 872 hospitalized patients without nutritional risk. Logistic regression analysis was performed with univariate analysis（P〈0.05）, to investigate the incidence of nutritional risk and influencing factors. The incidence of nutritional risk was 26.35% in the inpatients, 25.90% in male and 26.84% in female, respectively. The single-factor analysis showed that the age ≥60, sleeping disorder, fasting, intraoperative bleeding, the surgery in recent month, digestive diseases, metabolic diseases and endocrine system diseases had significant effects on nutritional risk（P〈0.05）. Having considered the above-mentioned factors as independent variables and nutritional risk（Y=1, N=0） as dependent variable, logistic regression analysis revealed that the age ≥60, fasting, sleeping disorders, the surgery in recent month and digestive diseases are hazardous factors for nutritional risk. Nutritional risk exists in hospitalized patients in central urban areas. Nutritional risk screening should be conducted for inpatients. Nutritional intervention programs should be formulated in consideration of those influencing factors, which enable to reduce the nutritional risk and to promote the rehabilitation of inpatients.

New coronavirus pneumonia spread rapidly all over the world in the first half of 2020, which is a new respiratory disease with strong infectiousness. At present, the epidemic situation in China has been effectively controlled, but the global epidemic situation remains grim, and the National Health Commission has instructed that the prevention and control of new coronavirus pneumonia should become normalized. As outposts for surveillance of public health events, hospitals are an important front in the fight against the epidemic. Therefore, it is very crucial to construct infection prevention and control system actively to contain the outbreak. This paper analyzes and summarizes the normal prevention and control management strategy of Infection Control Branch Management (hereinafter referred to as Hospital Infection-Control Dept) in a certain designated comprehensive third-grade hospital in Guangdong Province and transforms the prevention and control means in emergency state into measures for sustainable development, which also provides basis and reference for Hospital Infection-Control Dept of medical institutions to formulate prevention and control guidelines.

An academic emergency department:residents' perspective

BACKGROUND:Since demographic changes have contributed to the growth of emergency medicine,a highly populous nation such as India needs to give physicians associated due credit and recognition.The management of knowledge source must also be conducted with due care as the work environment is completely different from that of any other clinicians.METHODS:The data were collected by direct interaction with residents of the department.Additional information was gathered by observation.The data were verified for validity.RESULTS:This study was to bring out the benefits of proactive decisions that could further enhance the emergency department.But such decisions did not always result in positive responses and improved morale.When such decisions were retracted as it causes misalignment with the existing system.An academic emergency department was expected and physicians should enrich their knowledge about emergency medicine.CONCLUSIONS:The problems faced by emergency department might be similar but the way in which one tackles the situation would be different.Decision making in this hospital may not be the best but it would've been the optimum one given the conditions available.

Accounting and the ＂Doctor-Manager Relationship＂

The adoption of the ＂new public management＂ in the hospital sector brought about greater presence and power to professional managers in hospitals, thus increasing the risk of conflict in the doctor-manager relationship. Aiming to enrich the discussion on the factors that could be the bases for this conflict and considering the role of accounting, the study presented here corresponds, basically, to what we call ＂content analysis＂ of qualitative studies. The results demonstrate that the Portuguese doctors as the sample studied accept, in essence, the principles of enterprise management and recognize the use of accounting information in the scope of their functions as long as they are called to participate as legitimate actors, and authorities respect their desires to preserve a practice which they consider of quality.

Gunshot injury to spine:An institutional experience of management and complications from a developing country

Purpose Gunshot wounds are the second leading cause of spinal cord injuries.Surgical intervention for gunshot injury to the spine carries a high rate of complications.There is a scarcity of data on civilian gunshot injuries to the spine in Pakistan.Approximately 60 cases over the last 10 years have been recoded,with unusual presentation and neurological recovery.Thus it is imperative to fill this gap in data,by reviewing cases of civilian gunshot injuries to spine presenting at a tertiary care hospital(Aga Khan University Hospital,Karachi).Methods This is a retrospective cohort study.Patients of all ages who presented to the emergency department of Aga Khan University Hospital,with gunshot injuries to spine between January 2005 and December 2016 were included in the study.Data were collected on neurological status(American Spinal Injury Association score was used for the initial and follow-up neurological assessment),extent of cord transection,motor and sensory deficits.The patients were further grouped into those with cord transection,and those with fractures of the bony spine but an intact spinal cord.These patients were then followed and the outcomes were recorded.Results A total of 40 patients were identified.The mean±SD of patients age was(30.9±9.5)years.Of the 40 patients with gunshot wounds,31 had the medical imaging performed at the facility,and hence they were included in this categorization.The remaining 9 patients were excluded from this additional grouping.Thirteen patients were managed surgically and 27 patients underwent the conservative management.The mean±SD of follow-up was(8.7±7.2)months.In our study,the thoracic spine was the most commonly injured region in gunshot injuries.Of the 31 patients with medical imaging performed at our institute,17(54.8%)had cord transection,of whom 8(47%)ultimately developed paraplegia.Conclusion The prognosis of gunshot injuries to the spine can be varied depending on whether the spinal cord is intact or transected.This will help healthcare providers to plan the further management of the patient and counsel them accordingly.

Management status of type 2 diabetes mellitus in tertiary hospitals in Beijing： gap between guideline and reality

Background Diabetes has become one of the most common chronic diseases and the third leading cause of death in China. Many programs have been initiated at national and local levels to address the illness. However, the effect of these programs in daily outpatient clinics is still unclear. The objective of this study was to investigate the management status of type 2 diabetes mellitus （T2DM） and factors associated with it in diabetes clinics of tertiary hospitals in Beijing. Methods A cross-sectional survey was conducted in six tertiary hospitals in Beijing. Control criteria were defined based on 2007 China guideline for type 2 diabetes （CGT2D）. Results A sample of 1151 patients, age （60.8±9.2） years, and with a median disease duration of 7.3 years was included. The hemoglobin Alc （HbAlc） mean level was （7.15±1.50）%, the percentage of patients achieving the targets for HbAlc was 37.8%, blood pressure 65.6%, triglyceride （TG） 48.8%, high-density lipoprotein （HDL） 59.2%, low-density lipoprotein （LDL） 34.0%, and total cholesterol （TC） 42.0%. The factors independently associated with glycemic control were diabetes duration （odds ratio （OR） = 0.95; 95% confidence interval （CI）： 0.919-0.982, P 〈0.01）, body mass index （BMI） （OR=0.914, 95% CI： 0.854-0.979, P=0.01） and smoking （OR=0.391, 95% Ch 0.197-0.778, P〈0.01）. The factors independently associated with blood pressure control were BMI （OR=0.915, 95% Ch 0.872-0.960, P 〈0.01） and male gender （OR=0.624, 95% CI： 0.457-0.852, P 〈0.01）. The factor independently associated with LDL control was education level （OR=1.429, 95% Ch 1.078-1.896, P=0.013）. Conclusions The management status of T2DM patients in tertiary hospitals in Beijing has improved remarkably. However, there is still room for further improvement to reach the guideline target. Long diabetes duration, high BMI, smoking, male gender and low education level were independently associated with poor metabolic control.
