“…Alongside, life among the survivors post-stroke can be difficult because they are supposed to cope with the new circumstances (Vujnović et al , 2019). Among these circumstances, 60% of stroked people suffer from different kinds of physical disabilities, stress, depression, cognitive impairment and decreased QOL (Kalavina, 2019).…”

Purpose This study aims to assess the quality of life (QOL) and the related factors in patients post-stroke in Jordan. Design/methodology/approach Prospective, the cross-sectional study recruited 100 participants with stroke from three public hospitals from December 1, 2021 to February 1, 2022. Patients with stroke were interviewed to fill the stroke-specific quality of life questionnaire. Findings Forty-five per cent of the participants were male. More than half of the participants (53%) were married, and the average age of the participants was 63.6 (SD =3.8). Most of the participants had an ischemic stroke (86%) with an affected left side (65%). The overall QOL of the participants was leveling at (M = 123.5, SD = 45.2), which is a moderate level. It was found statistical significance differences among participants according to gender, type of stroke, affected side and presence of comorbidities (Table 1). Research limitations/implications There were some limitations in this study. First, this study was based on mild to moderate Jordanian stroke survivors and did not include critically ill stroke survivors; the QOL critically ill stroke survivors may differ, which could affect the generalizability of data among all stroke survivors. Second, this study is prospective, and this type of study is prone to bias that could influence the reliability of the results. It is recommended to conduct a mixed-method study to reveal an in-depth understanding of the associated factors with QOL, to ensure reliability and to reflect a better view of the Jordanian population. Practical implications To sum up, there is a reduction in the level of QOL among stroke survivors; hence, it is crucial to focus on detecting factors contributing to reducing the QOL and taking individual differences between sexes, type and location of the stroke, and comorbidities into consideration to develop a treatment plan that enhances the QOL and well-being for survivors of stroke. Social implications Taking individual differences between sexes, type and location of the stroke and comorbidities into consideration to develop a treatment plan that enhances the QOL and well-being of survivors of stroke. Originality/value The findings of this study bring a strong insight toward assessing the main factors indicating a decrease QOL among stroke survivors.

“…The average length of the preoperative stay should not exceed 24 hours, as emergency patients are expected to be operated on the same day they were admitted to hospital for treatment, while elective patients are prepared for surgery out-of-hospital. Reducing the length of pre-operative stay directly affects healthcare costs, the burden on hospital capacity, but also the possibility of intrahospital infections [12][13][14].…”

The World Health Organization defines the quality of healthcare as a "degree to which healthcare services increase the likelihood of desired health outcomes for individuals and populations". Healthcare quality indicators are statistical and quantitative measures of healthcare processes and outcomes used to monitor, evaluate and improve the quality of patient treatment and care. They are determined according to the healthcare organisation level, types of health institutions and branches of medicine. This article presents a trend analysis of the selected healthcare quality indicators at the Institute of Orthopaedic Surgery Banjica (IOS Banjica) for the period from 2008 to 2021 in the light of the impact of the implemented quality improvement measures. A comparative review of healthcare quality indicators was also made for 2019 for IOS Banjica and similar tertiary institutions: Clinic for Orthopaedic Surgery and Traumatology of Clinical Centre of Vojvodina, Clinic for Orthopaedic Surgery and Traumatology of the Clinical Centre of Serbia, Orthopaedic Surgery and Trauma Centre of the Clinical Centre of Kragujevac and Orthopaedic and Trauma Clinic of the Clinical Centre in Niš to gain an insight of the situation in different institutions prior to COVID-19 and analyse the most common indicators. The following quality indicators have been analysed: average length of hospital treatment, average number of preoperative hospital days, rate of first outpatient appointments, rate of decubitus, and percentage of nurse's discharge letters. When interpreting the results, it should be taken into account that IOS Banjica operated as a COVID hospital in three periods in 2020 and 2021, which had a significant impact on its operation at this time. Analysis of work quality indicators for the period from 2008 to 2021 showed an improvement in the quality of work of IOS Banjica. In comparison with other similar institutions, IOS Banjica monitored more work quality indicators in the previous period. Despite the numerous problems the healthcare system has faced in recent years, IOS Banjica has managed to maintain a quality improvement trend and to make a great contribution, both through its teaching and scientific work, as well as its surgical work, seeking to provide the maximum level of expertise, quality and dedication to its patients through continuous training of staff and use of state-of-the-art technology and implants.
