Introduction. In Morocco, the traditional media allows messages of non-scientific prescriptions for the treatment of diseases and statements criticizing doctors to pass, which are considered by doctors as defamation and attacks on the honor of the medical profession. The aim of this study was to analyze physicians’ perception in Morocco regarding health topics in the traditional media (TM). Methodology. This is a descriptive transversal study of physicians practicing in Morocco. The data were collected through the use of a questionnaire that included questions on reliability, speed, up-to-dateness and influence of TM, also trust and interest in TM, and quantity, quality of health messages in TM. Results. A total of 417 physicians responded, among them 234 (56.1%) had little or no interest in health topics in TM; 248 (59.5%) considered the quantity of transmitted messages to be low; 234 (56.1%) considered that health messages in TM are of low quality; 248 (59.5%) had little or no trust in health topics in TM. Also, three quarters [314(75.3%)] of the physicians recognized a moderate to strong influence of TM on health behaviors. Conclusions. Our results show that physicians have a perception that seems negative towards TM. This may partially explain the chronic tension situation between physicians and journalists/media in Morocco. To better understand this situation and improve this relationship in favor of health promotion, it is necessary to conduct a research addressing the opinion of journalists and the propositions of solutions of both parties.

Risks at the level of the operating room are permanent and different from one surgical intervention to another. They have diverse sources, hence the importance of risk management concept for a good functioning of the operating room in order to enhance care quality.The recurrent absence of surgical instruments (surgery forceps and other instruments) in their box is still a major problem within the operating room. It often happens during the surgical interventions, whether are major or minor, that the surgical team uses many boxes to fill these lacks.The objective of this study is to help the clinic to establish an ongoing improvement dynamic of processes within the operating room. It is consisted of tracing the steps of management of the patient to be operated, from their first contact with the process staff to their exit from the operating room to the functional unit. With the help of cartography, the connections between the operating room process and the processes of support, the liaison between activities, fluxes and resources are easily understood.The analysis and the prioritization of dominant problems are done according to (SMART) indicators and QQQQCC methodology. The absence of surgical instruments (surgery forceps and other instruments) in their storing boxes was chosen as a dominant problem within this process in complicity with key persons of the operating room and the clinic managers through many meetings.Through the analysis of the causes effects or ishikawa diagram, the weak organizational culture, the competences insufficiency, unsuitable workforce, and the under motivation of staff sterilization service have been recognized as causes of the origin of the problem because it is at the equipment packaging step where the instruments are intertwined.In conclusion, an arsenal of solutions and actions are set up to overcome this problem and as the staff enhancement responsible for sorting and packaging boxes of sterilization (currently only the major is dedicated to these tasks, continuous staff training, a team in charge of monitoring and evaluation of risks and quality within the operating…
