“…Ardabil is in northwest Iran and has an estimated population of 1,300,000 people (2016 census) who speak Azeri. It covers an area of approximately 18,000 km 2 or about 1% of Iran’s total area [ 29 ]. Ardabil has 5 teaching hospitals with relevant specialized services, including Imam Reza Hospital (urology, ophthalmology, dermatology and pediatric surgery), Alavi Hospital (gynecology and obstetrics, neonates and neurology), Fatemi Hospital (psychiatry, trauma and burns), Imam Khomeini Hospital ( general diseases of adults) and Bo Ali Hospital (children’s diseases).The total number of medical students from the all teaching hospitals was approximately 600; thus, the sample size was determined to be 234, by using the Krejcie Morgan table.…”

Background Workplace violence continues among medical students in training. This study aimed to determine the reactions and perspectives of medical students against workplace violence during clinical training in Ardabil University of Medical Sciences in Iran, 2020. Materials This descriptive cross-sectional study was conducted on 300 medical students from April to March 2020, in the Ardabil university hospitals. Students with at least one year training in the university hospitals were eligible to participate. Data was collected via questionnaires administered in the health ward. Data was analyzed through SPSS 23 software. Results Most respondents had experienced workplace violence in the form of verbal (63%), physical (25.7%), racial (23%) and sexual (3%) violence during clinical training. Men were the aggressors during violence of a physical (80.5%), verbal (69.8%), racial (76.8%) and sexual (100%) nature (p < 0.001). When encountered with violence, 36% of the respondents did not take any action and 82.7% of respondents failed to report the incident. For 67.8% of respondents that did not report of violence incident, this procedure was deemed pointless, while 27% of respondents considered the violent incident insignificant. The main reason for workplace violence was perceived to be a lack of awareness of people about staff duties (67.3% of respondents). According to 92.7% of respondents personnel training was the most important factor in preventing workplace violence. Conclusions The findings suggest that the majority of medical students during clinical training in Ardabil Iran (2020) have been exposed to workplace violence. However, most students did not take any action or report the incident. Targeted personnel training, increase awareness of workplace violence, and encouragement of reporting these incidents should be promoted to reduce violence to medical students.

Background Workplace violence continues among medical students in training. This study aimed to determine the reactions and perspectives of medical students against workplace sexual and verbal violence during clinical training in Ardabil University of Medical Sciences in Iran, 2020. Materials This descriptive cross-sectional study was conducted on 300 medical students from April to March 2020, in the Ardabil university hospitals. Data collection scales were a demographic questionnaire and the standard workplace violence questionnaire in the health ward. All medical students who had trained at least one year in the university hospitals, met the inclusion criteria. Exclusion criteria were dissatisfaction with participation in the study. SPSS 23 software was used to analyze the data. Results The results indicated that 63% of medical students experienced verbal and 3% sexual violence. The aggressors in 69.8% of verbal and 100% of sexual violence were the men (p < 0.001). Most of the students (36%) in the face of violence, react no action and 82.7% failed to report. The report was deemed pointless by 67.8% of those who did not report, and the issue was insignificant according to 27%. According to 67.3% of students, the main reason for the violence was a lack of awareness of people about staff duties, and 92.7% stated personnel training was the most important factor in preventing workplace violence. Conclusions The results determined that the most of the medical students had no action or report in facing with violence. It seems that a combination of training of students in dealing with violence, increasing patients' awareness about the duties of medical students and more serious follow-up of cases of violence could reduce this problem.

Three Lines of Defense for Wildfire Risk Management in Electric Power Grids: A Review

et al. 2021

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Wildfires pose a significant challenge to the natural and the built environments, as well as the safety and economic wellbeing of the communities residing in wildfire-prone areas. The electric power grid is specifically among the built environments most affected by, and contributing to, wildfires. In this paper, we propose a three lines of defense (3LD) framework for wildfire risk management in electric power infrastructure and review the literature from this lens. An overview of the physics and phenomenology of the wildfires as it relates to power grids is presented, and the logic for the proposed 3LD framework is discussed. The reviewed literature based on the 3LD theme includes the most relevant and emerging research work on wildfire prevention as the first line of defense, wildfire mitigation and proactive response as the second line of defense, and wildfire recovery preparedness as the third line of defense. This study reveals that while the state of the art, to a large extent, stands comprehensive in various aspects of power system resilience and wildfire risk management, there is a gap in the literature in addressing this emerging risk in a holistic, interdisciplinary approach.
