“…[ 19 ] Studies among medical students have reported the existence of stress among three-fourth of the participants[ 20 ] and those involving interns have reported the prevalence of stress to be as high as 91.1%. [ 21 ] Studies which have reported psychiatric morbidity suggest that more than half of the undergraduate medical students have depression (51.3%), anxiety (66.9%), and stress (53%). [ 16 17 19 ] These wide variations across different studies are due to differences in the instruments used to assess the various psychological constructs.…”

Background:There is a growing evidence of increased prevalence of psychological problems (stress, depression, anxiety, and substance abuse) and feelings of burnout among medical professionals all over the world and this has been shown to be associated with lapses in patient care. Data from India in this regard are limited.Aims:To assess the various psychological problems (depression, perceived stress, and burnout) among medical professionals working in a government-funded tertiary care institute of India.Materials and Methods:An online e-mail survey was carried out among resident doctors and faculty members (a total of 1721 doctors). A total of 445 doctors (response rate-27.69%) responded to the survey. The survey included Patient Health Questionnaire-9 (PHQ-9), Cohen's Perceived Stress Scale, and Maslach Burnout Inventory.Results:Of the eligible 1607 participants, 445 responders, 376 (77.75%) were resident doctors and 69 (15.5%) were faculty. As per the PHQ-9, 30.1% of participants were found to have depression and 16.7% of participants reported suicidal ideations. About two-thirds of the sample experienced moderate level of stress (67.2%) and another 13% of participants reported high level of stress. More than 90% of the participants reported some level of burnout. Compared to faculty, higher proportion of the residents reported stress, depression, and burnout. Presence of depression, stress, or burnout was associated with lower indulgence in recreational activities, experiencing verbal or physical abuse in the hand of patients/caregivers, feelings that seniors do not show empathy toward patients, and seniors do not show empathy toward them.Conclusions:The present study suggests that a significantly higher proportion of doctors in Indian setting experience stress, depression, and burnout. The presence of stress, depression, and burnout is associated with long working hours and negative patient-related outcomes, adverse doctor–patient interactions, and interpersonal interactions among the colleagues.

“…The overall period prevalence of NSI among nurses in Iran in a given year was 44%. This is higher than the prevalence of NSI reported among nurses in Ethiopia (37–39%; Bekele, Gebremariam, Kaso, & Ahmed, ; Bidira, Woldie, & Nemera, ), India (28–32%; Bagdey, Humne, Wankhede, & Dhanorkar, ; Laishram et al, ), Nigeria (24%; Diwe & Chineke, ), Turkey (30%; Irmak, ), Ajman, United Arabic Emirate (29%; Zahrah et al, ), or Australia (18%; Smith, Smyth, Leggat, & Wang, ). In contrast, it was lower than the reported prevalence of NSI among nurses in Jordan (68%; Khraisat, Juni, Salmiah, Rahman, & Hamdan‐Mansour, ), sub‐Saharan Africa (57%; Nsubuga & Jaakkola, ), and South Korea (70%; Cho et al, ).…”

“…Under‐reporting of NSI is a serious challenge in healthcare systems. Results from Iran were lower than the reporting rates of NSI among nurses in the US (49–55%; Haiduven, Simpkins, Phillips, & Stevens, ; Makary et al, ), Australia (61%; Smith & Leggat, ), Switzerland (73%; Voide et al, ), or India (Bagdey et al, ). Previous authors (Beyera & Beyen, ; Khalouei, Iranpour, Hamzehnezhadi, & Rahmanian, ; Voide et al, ) have highlighted several reasons for under‐reporting of NSI among nurses, including high workload (lower nurse to patient ratio), nurses’ perceptions of risks associated with NSI, unclear processes of reporting NSI, failure of nurse managers to appropriately respond to NSI reports, and insufficient training among nurses about NSI.…”

The purpose of this systematic review and meta-analysis was to provide a precise estimate of the period prevalence of needlestick injuries (NSI) among nurses working in hospitals in Iran and the reporting rate of NSI to nurse managers. We searched both international (PubMed, Scopus and the Institute for Scientific Information) and Iranian (Scientific Information Database, Iranmedex and Magiran) scientific databases to find studies published from 2000 to 2016 of NSI among Iranian nurses. The following keywords in Persian and English were used: "needle-stick" or "needle stick" or "needlestick," with and without "injury" or "injuries," "prevalence" or "frequency," "nurses" or "nursing staff," and "Iran." In a sample of 21 articles with 6,480 participants, we estimated that the overall 1-year period prevalence of NSI was 44% (95% confidence interval [CI], 35-53%) among Iranian nurses. The overall 1-year period prevalence of reporting NSI to nurse managers was 42% (95% CI, 33-52%). In meta-regression analysis, sample size, mean age, years of experience, and gender ratio were not associated with prevalence of NSI or reporting rate. The year of data collection was positively associated with period prevalence of NSI (p < .05), but not with the period prevalence of reporting NSI to nurse managers. Results indicated a high NSI period prevalence and low NSI reporting rate among nurses in Iran. Thus, effective interventions are required in hospitals in Iran to reduce the prevalence and increase the reporting rate of NSI. © 2017 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

“…The available published literature on patient safety in India was found to be limited and mainly focuses on reuse of syringes, accidental needle stick injuries, and on biomedical waste disposal practices. [ 11 12 13 14 15 ] The authors did not find any published study on patient safety from obstetrics and gynecology facilities in India since the year 2000. A brief summary of the findings from the literature review on different aspects on patient safety in India is provided in Table 1 .…”

Background:There is insufficient information on causes of unsafe care at facility levels in India. This study was conducted to understand the challenges in government hospitals in ensuring patient safety and to propose solutions to improve patient care.Materials and Methods:Desk review, in-depth interviews, and focused group discussions were conducted between January and March 2014. Healthcare providers and nodal persons for patient safety in Gynecology and Obstetrics Departments of government health facilities from Delhi state of India were included. Data were analyzed using qualitative research methods and presented adopting the “health system approach.”Results:The patient safety was a major concern among healthcare providers. The key challenges identified were scarcity of resources, overcrowding at health facilities, poor communications, patient handovers, delay in referrals, and the limited continuity of care. Systematic attention on the training of care providers involved in service delivery, prescription audits, peer reviews, facility level capacity building plan, additional financial resources, leadership by institutional heads and policy makers were suggested as possible solutions.Conclusions:There is increasing awareness and understanding about challenges in patient safety. The available local information could be used for selection, designing, and implementation of measures to improve patient safety at facility levels. A systematic and sustained approach with attention on all functions of health systems could be beneficial. Patient safety could be used as an entry point to improve the quality of health care services in India.
