“…However, this result differs from the findings of Shahril Abu Hanifah and Ismail [ 84 ], who found FG to be higher in a majority of Malaysian electronics workers, as well as Remmen et al [ 85 ], who found FG to be higher in Danish fishermen. As labour demands increase, effort must be mobilised to maintain performance levels, which is associated with physiological and psychological costs [ 86 ].…”

“…Coaches with a marital status other than single/married/couple scored higher in C/M, supporting results by Shahril Abu Hanifah and Ismail [ 84 ], who found reduced motivation in people who were divorced. In the general German population, Kocavelent et al [ 105 ] found that being separated or divorced increased the likelihood of experiencing fatigue and stress, which may be due to the combination of work outside the home and work at home, where the majority of the work is carried out by women, accounting for more than 90% of the total.…”

The objective of this research is to identify the level of general fatigue (FG), physical fatigue (FF) and concentration/motivation (C/M) in sports coaches. Two components of grit, consistency of interest (CI) and perseverance in effort (PE), are also assessed. The possible effects of sex, age, marital status, employment contract, work dedication and grit on FG, FF and C/M in sports coaches are examined. This cross-sectional study analyses 335 sports club coaches (21.2% women, 78.8% male) with a mean age of 29.88 (SD = 9.97) years, at a significance level of p < 0.05 for all analyses. Different aspects of fatigue were determined using the Spanish translation of the Multidimensional Fatigue Inventory-20 (IMF-20). The Grit-S scale was used to measure the ability to persevere, have passion and commit. The results indicated that men scored higher in FF, C/M and PE, while women obtained higher values in FG and CI. Non-contract coaches had higher FG, CI and PE, while coaches with contracts scored higher on C/M and FF. In conclusion, coaches with higher CI had higher FG, and high levels of PE were associated with low FG levels.

“…Moreover, the literature shows that safety culture differs across hospital organizations depending on the organization’s experience, size, and function [ 21 ]. Moreover, the presence or lack of elements encouraging positive PSC, such as a blame and shame culture in dealing with adverse events, open communication, and management support, could explain the discrepancy in the overall median percent score for perception of PSC in different settings [ 22 ]. In addition, a discrepancy in the results between different settings may be attributed to different characteristics of the participants and settings.…”

Background Patient safety (PS) is a fundamental component of healthcare quality. Patient Safety Culture (PSC) assessment provides an organization with insight of perceptions and attitudes of its staff related to patient safety. In addition, it is meant to improve performance rather than blaming individuals. This study aimed to assess patient safety culture from the health care staff perspective in El-Shatby University Hospital for Gynecology and Obstetrics. Methods A descriptive cross-sectional study was conducted. The study was conducted at El-Shatby University Hospital for Gynecology and Obstetrics from November 2020 to January 2021. The target participants were assistant lecturers, residents, and head nurses in charge during the field study period. The number of potential participants who fulfilled the inclusion criteria (in charge during the period of data collection and working in the hospital for more than 3 months) was 83; the twelve participants who participated in the pilot study were excluded. The total number of participants who agreed to participate in the study was 66 participants (38 residents, 18 assistant lecturers, and 10 head nurses) out of 71 potential participants representing a 92.9% response rate. A structured self-administered questionnaire format adapted from Hospital Survey on Patient Safety Culture (HSOPSC) questionnaire was distributed anonymously to the participants. The questionnaire has 42 items measuring twelve patient safety culture dimensions: teamwork within the unit, supervisors’ expectations and actions to promote patient safety, feedback and communication about error, organizational learning, communication openness, overall perception of patient safety, hands-off and transitions, teamwork across units, frequency of events reported, management support for patient safety, staffing, and management support for patient safety. Except for two items that are responded on a five-point frequency scale (never, rarely, sometimes, most of the time, and always) the majority of patient safety culture questions are answered on a five-point agreement scale (strongly disagree, disagree, neutral, agree, and strongly agree), with a higher score indicating a more favorable attitude toward patient safety. Results The overall average positive percent score was 45.4%. Average positive response percentages to individual items ranged from 28.8 to 81.8%. No domain had an average positive percent score of more than 75%. Out of the twelve dimensions of patient safety culture included in the HSOPSC questionnaire, “the teamwork within unit” domain had the highest average positive percent score (62.1%) among all participants. On the other hand, the “Non-punitive response to error” domain had the lowest score (18.9%). More than half (57.6%) of the participants rated patient’s safety at the hospital as acceptable. Conclusion Investing in practices that strengthen patient safety is crucial if the hospital is to improve overall performance and quality of services. The present study displays a frail patient safety culture (PSC) in the majority of the domains. All the domains should be considered of high priority focused areas for remark and reformative tasks. Continuous training programs of the staff on patient safety to improve their perception of safety culture are necessary. All PSC composites need improvement starting with regular assessment of PSC along with continuous monitoring and increasing the healthcare providers’ awareness of demanded PSC.

Semakin bertambahnya usia seseorang maka akan semakin besar risiko penurunan sistem fisiologis dan biologis (Shahril Abu Hanifah & Ismail, 2020).…”

Work fatigue is one of health and safety problems which can be risk factor for workplace accidents. There are many factors that cause work fatigue, like age, gender, work load, working period, and carbonmonoxide exposure. The objective of this study was to identity the carbon monoxide exposure in blood and workers characteristic on work fatigue in the fum fish village Penatarsewu Sidoarjo Regency. The research was using cross sectional design with 42 samples. Work fatigue was quantified with reaction timer carbon monoxide effect with measuring COHb level in blood, work load with fingertrip oximeter, and workers characteristic were collected through interview with questionnaires. Study was analyzed with multivariate logistic regression through SPSS. The research shows analysis suggests that age and sex aren’t significantly related to work-related fatigue, while employment period, work load and Carbon Monoxide exposure are significantly related to work-related fatigue. The result of multivariate analysis shows that work load, employment period and Carbon Monoxide exposure are significantly related to work-related fatigue. Work load is the dominant variable for work-related fatigue. Workers having heavy work load are exposed to work-related fatigue 9 times higher compared to those with light work load.
