Volume 9, Issue 5 (2-2016)
Abstract

Background and Aim: Employees are an organization's greatest assets and organizational performance is dependent to employee’s performance. Presence of inefficient employees can make other employees to be less productive. To improve inefficient employees to high performance level, it is necessary to analyze the performance of employees. This study aims to identify and determine poor performance dimensions and cluster inefficient staffs.

Materials and Methods: This study was an analytical and descriptive research. The research made questionnaire developed for data collection and Principal Component Analysis (PCA) and Cluster Analysis (CA) techniques in SPSS used to analyze the research data.

Results: The PCA results showed that six poor performance dimensions were behavioral problems, low results, lack of self-efficacy and creativity, sabotage, postponing, and individualism. The CA results declared that poor performers can be classified to five clusters include poor behavior, lazy, jobber, poor ability, marginal, managers believed that root of employees’ in inefficiency attributed jobber, poor ability, and lazy employees to internal causes, and attributed bad behavior and marginal employees to external causes.

Conclusion: The type of inefficiency and its dimensions should be identified in order to make effective decisions for inefficient employees. Employees clustering propose a new attitude toward inefficiency differentiation comparing to literature,  and this five group clustering based on empirical data expected to be more applicable in practice.

Abstract

Background and Aim: Computerized physician order entry system is the process of entering orders electronically. It is a replacement for manual system and is considered as a part of a clinical information system. The appropriate design of this system leads to the enhancement of its capabilities, ensures orders accurately and comprehensively, and transfers information to different parts rapidly. Therefore, transfer time and the error related to the wrong path or misinterpretations will be omitted; in the end, efficiency will increase. This study aims to present different perspectives on design principles of computerized physician order entry system for stakeholders.
Materials and Methods: In this review article, Google, Google Scholar, Pub Med, Web of Science and Scopus databases were searched with some keywords related to design principles of computerized physician order entry system.
Results: Based on the performed studies, factors such as inappropriate design of links, display page, set of orders content, drug database, structure of order environment, rules, formats, mechanism of getting reports of errors, and finally clinical decision support system have led to the decrease of doctors’ performance, increase of new errors, and reduction of patients’ safety.
Conclusion: Inappropriate design leads to the increase of new errors after the implementation of system; therefore, proper and principled design of this system can lead to the improvement of practitioners’ function, decrease of prescription errors and drug side effects, reduction of costs, efficiency increase, workflow 


The Survey of Vitamin D and C-Reactive Protein Status after a Period of Lumbar Stabilization Exercises and Vitamin D Consumption in Women with Chronic Non-Specific Low Back Pain
Mr Ali Asghar Shariati Aghamahalli, Masoumeh Habibian,
Volume 15, Issue 3 (Aug & Sep 2021)
Abstract
Background and Aim: Low-grade systemic inflammation, sedentary lifestyle, and vitamin D deficiency are considered risk factors for developing non-specific low back pain. The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of selective lumbar stabilization exercises with vitamin D intake on the level of hypersensitive C-reactive protein (hs-CRP) and 25-hydroxy vitamin D levels in women with chronic non-specific low back pain.
Materials and Methods: In this semi-experimental study with pretest–posttest design, 48 women with chronic low back pain were initially selected by available sampling method and then randomly divided into control, exercise, vitamin D and combined groups. Lumbar stabilization exercises were performed at different levels for 8 weeks. The vitamin D and combined groups received 50,000 IU vitamin D weekly. Data were analyzed using paired t-test, ANOVA and Kruskal-Wallis tests with a significant level of less than 0.05. 
Results: 25.64% and 74.26% of the subjects had insufficient levels of vitamin D (20-29 ng/ml) and vitamin D deficiency (less than 20 ng/ml), respectively. 8 weeks of lumbar stabilization exercises, vitamin D consumption, and the combined intervention decreased hs-CRP and increased 25-hydroxyvitamin D. In addition, the combined intervention had a stronger effect on lowering hs-CRP levels compared to the other two interventions. The effect of vitamin D intake and combined intervention on improving vitamin D status was greater compared to lumbar stabilization exercises.
Conclusion: It seems that lumbar stabilization exercises, vitamin D intake, and combined interventions can improve low-grade systemic inflammation in people with low back pain and low vitamin D levels by lowering hs-CRP and positively regulating 25-hydroxyvitamin D, but combined intervention is associated with greater effectiveness in reducing hs-CRP.

Abstract
Background and Aim: The American Psychiatric Association identifies suicide as the third leading cause of death among people aged 15 to 24. This study was conducted with the aim of investigating factors affecting of the occurrence of suicides leading to death in corpses referred to the Forensic Medicine Organization of Tehran Province from 2010 to 2019.
Materials and Methods: This research was a descriptive and analytical cross-sectional study in 2019 year. The statistical population includes all bodies referred to forensic medicine. The information related to all corpses referred to forensic medicine which was analyzed between 2010 and 2019 were 5471 cases. Descriptive and analytical statistical methods were used to analyze the data. P-value less than 0.05% was considered valid.
Results: The results showed that 50% of suicide deaths were under 32 years old. Sixty-nine point two percent of suicides leading to death are male and the rest are female. The highest frequency in terms of method was related to the hanging method, 39.3%, and in the youth age group, in terms of the level of education in men, high school diploma and diploma in women. The highest frequency of suicide related to singles was 47.1% and 27.4% in the summer season. The most common method of suicide was hanging, with more than 39%, followed by poisoning with poison, with more than 25% of cases. The least used method was drowning.
Conclusion: Based on the results of this study, it seems that factors such as age, sex, level of education, and even geographic and social factors are among the factors that affect suicide, which can help policymakers, managers, psychologists, psychiatrists, and related organizations. Paying attention to educational literacy, employment status and income level of people, special attention of families to adolescent and young boys and girls and especially their marital status can be effective measures to prevent suicide.

Material and Methods: The present study is an applied research that was conducted qualitatively using structured and semi-structured interviews. The research sample was those responsible for the implementation of this project at the ministry and university level, the implementers of this project in 4 hospitals, 5 institutions providing home care services, and family of patients. Twenty-eight people from the research community were included in the study using the purposeful and snowball sampling method. Content analysis method was used to analyze the interview data. MAXQDA2020 software was used for data classification.
Results: The results were classified into two categories: benefits and challenges of the home care plan after discharge. A total of 61 open codes were extracted from the analysis of research interviews, so that 27 codes led to the identification of 5 themes (Including improving service delivery, reducing costs, achieving health goals, cultural and social benefits, providing the necessary infrastructure) in the benefits and 34 codes led to the identification of 7 themes (including policy-making, legal and ethical, economic, manpower, cultural-social-communication, service provision limitations and time and place limitations) in the challenges.
Conclusion: The result of this research showed that home care services after being discharged from the hospital play an important role in completing the provision of healthcare services. Home care services after being discharged from the hospital improves service delivery, reduces costs, and helps in achieving health goals. It also benefits patients, society and the government in various cultural and social fields. On the other hand, it seems that there are challenges in the political, legal, economic and cultural fields in the way of the optimal implementation of this plan. Therefore, planning to evaluate and solve the problems facing these services is essential.
