Abstract

Background: One of the necessities of hospital administrations is that the top and middle managers should be familiar with leadership styles and conflict management strategies completely and select a right managerial method. Through this, they can actively play a significant role in improving effectiveness and efficiency of hospital performance. The main objective of this research is surveying the relationship between Fidler's LPC score (as a sign for leadership style) and conflict management strategies (avoidance oriented, solution oriented, control oriented).

Materials and Methods: For surveying leadership styles Fiddler's Least Preferred Coworker questionnaire and for surveying conflict management strategies, another questionnaire was used. The reliability of these two was 0.90 and 0.88 respectively. The survey population was consisted of the high and middle managers of Kerman's educational hospitals (81), and a sample 67 individuals was selected for survey.

Results: The result showed that respondents mostly use communication oriented style and employed conflict management strategies are avoidance, solution and control respectively. Also it was observed that there is a positive and significant relation between LPC score and avoidance and solution strategies (r= 0.512 and 0.298 respectively). But there is a negative and significant relation between LPC score and control oriented strategy (r= -0.474).

Conclusion: According to the findings it is suggested that, the reasons of using avoidance strategy should be surveyed and try to encourage people to state their inconsistent ideas and converse freely. This could help organization to improve its performance. But communication oriented style is suitable and its maintenance should be taken into consideration.

Abstract

Background: Given that Tabriz Shohada hospital is the place of admitting emergency patients including accident victims, Nurses are exposed to double stress at hospital. This study conducted to predict nursing stress based on personality traits and job engagement among nurses in Shohada hospital of Tabriz.

Materials and Methods: The current study was a correlational one. Randomly selected 105 nurses from Tabriz Shohada hospital sections such as sixth general sections including Rehabilitation, ICU & Emergency Department participated. Contributors answered to Nursing Stress Scale, Eysenck Personality Questionnaire Revised (EPQ-R) and Job Engagement Scale. Data were analyzed using stepwise multiple regression analysis.

Results: The study results indicated that nursing stress was more strongly associated with the neuroticism; there were no relationships among nursing stress and extraversion or psychoticism. Also, nursing stress revealed a positive relationship with job engagement. Using the multivariate regression analysis showed that the neuroticism trait (p< 0.001, F=10.68) and job engagement (p= 0.004, F=10.12) were suitable predictors for nursing stress among three personality factors and job engagement.

Conclusions: Nursing stress influenced by internal factors more than demographic variables and two important predictive variables (neuroticism trait and job engagement) had more important roles in nursing stress prediction.

Abstract

Introduction: Socio-economic inequalities in the use of dental services are a major challenge to health policies in many countries. This cross-sectional study was conducted to investigate socio-economic inequalities in utilization of dental services in households of Lorestan province and comparing it with neighboring provinces.
Methods: Data required for the study were collected from the household expenditure and income survey (HIES). The study population included 5547 households in the western provinces of the country. Logistic regression method was used to determine the most important factors affecting the use of dental services, and the focus index was used to measure inequality between income groups. Data analysis was performed using Stata software version 14.
Results: The highest and lowest percentages of dental services among households were related to Hamedan (7.02%) and Lorestan (3.19%) provinces, respectively. The results of the focus index showed that the benefits and costs of dental services were concentrated among households with higher socio-economic status. In other words, inequality benefits the rich. Being a female head of household and increased size of the household leads to a decrease in the use of these services. The higher education level of the head of the household and the increase in the number of employed and literate household members showed a positive relationship with the utilization of dental services.
Conclusion: Benefiting from dental services was significantly higher among higher socio-economic groups. These inequalities can be avoided by introducing and implementing targeted policies. Low-income households, lower education levels, and the unemployed should be the focus of health policies to address unmet dental care needs.

Abstract

Background and purpose: Considering the dimensions of organizational bullying and the context of its creation in the emergency department of the hospital, the decrease in the quality of patient care and the increase in dissatisfaction with the services received and the limited research studies in this area, the research was conducted in the emergency department of a hospital of Yazd University of Medical Sciences.
Materials and methods: To carry out this descriptive-analytical research, the interpretive structural modeling method was used. The experts included 30 doctors, nurses, and nurses who were either working in the emergency department of a Yazd University of Medical Sciences hospital or had experience of service in this department. From the extraction of these factors, they were returned to them for scoring, and the effects of these factors were measured from their point of view, and the final analysis was done by MATLAB software.
Results: The results show that the greatest effect in reducing bullying is related to "adequate training for personnel to communicate" and "proper and courteous treatment in the face of clients" (with influence power of 5) and the least effect is related to "creating a suitable comfortable environment". and "Perform appropriate triage" (with penetration power of 1).
Conclusion: Considering the destructive effects of bullying, creating appropriate mechanisms to reduce this phenomenon shown in this research and using the factors identified by the people involved in bullying can prevent this phenomenon, which occurs frequently in the emergency room of the hospital.
