Embracing Sustainability: A New Paradigm for Healthcare Organizations Beyond Corporate Social Responsibility | Chapter 1 | Disease and Health Research: New Insights Vol. 6

Corporate social responsibility (CSR) is a concept that has varied through history, with evolving definitions that aim to determine the interconnections between corporations and communities. CSR in healthcare services refers to the convergence of medicine supply facilities, nursing facilities, food supply facilities, ambulance service, and medical assistance that are stimulated by the undertaking of social responsibilities by hospitals and healthcare centres. Currently, in addition to ethics, this concept of social responsibility is increasingly considered in the context of healthcare delivery suggesting a new paradigm in hospital management. Healthcare organizations’ managers’ adherence to sustainability concepts is crucial to enable their implementation. Moreover, all hospital workers can also have a role to play, at various levels, according to their fields of action, as these concepts also refer to Bioethics principles, which are a combination of bioscience with humanistic knowledge, that have played a pivotal role in influencing policy changes in the last decades. Sustainability is another emerging strategic goal for healthcare systems and organizations. In this opinion paper, the application of social responsibility, sustainability and ethics to healthcare organizations have been discussed.

Transformational Leadership in Healthcare: Enhancing Practitioner Performance and Work Productivity through Effective Leadership Strategy | Chapter 7 | Contemporary Issues of Business and Management: The Proceedings of the 10th International Conference on Business and Management Dynamics (ICBMD), Edition 1

Research indicates that the primary reason why managers fail in handling work performance is due to ineffective leadership skills. In other words, creating a supportive healthcare environment for practitioners to meet the rising demands of today’s healthcare environment is crucial to the attainment of quality patient care in Africa and even globally. The transformation of the healthcare environment which involves the health centres available in the communities is crucial to this attainment in the African context where poor leadership management and lack of job satisfaction are often experienced as compared to the Western world and other parts of the globe.

This paper emphasises the need for the practice of transformational leadership in the healthcare sector to positively manage the work performance of health practitioners and improve the quality of care and safety of patients.

For this reason, the paper serves as a great contribution to the administrative management of the health sector in terms of progress and improvement, as well as seeking creative and innovative ideas, especially during times of health emergencies or drastic organisational change. The paper is based on literature reviews from several scholars of the transformational leadership theory, a positive relationship between transformational leadership and improved work performance was noted especially for healthcare practitioners in healthcare organisations. A structured literature review was conducted using electronic databases which included: DUT Data base, Website, Scopus and Google scholar. The structured literature review was employed to ascertain the relevance of the selected database, the scope of literature covered and keywords used for the literature search.  The review identified six studies vital to the research questions. Extracted data were synthesized, summarised and correlated using narrative synthesis. Reviews indicated the influence of transformational leadership on improved work performance which involved job satisfaction, teamwork, intent to stay, job motivation, increased compliance to change, organisational culture, reduced work pressure and meeting the demands of patients. Also, the healthcare practitioners perceived a positive impression of the transformational leadership styles compared to other styles of leadership.

This paper suggests that healthcare leaders and clinical managers should consider a transformational leadership style to improve the work performance of healthcare practitioners as well as encourage job satisfaction, teamwork and work commitment.

A Perspective of Physiotherapists’cognizance on Trans Wellness | Chapter 6 | Recent Trends in Arts and Social Studies Vol. 6

 Crossdressers (containing transvestites, drag queens, and drag kings) are acknowledged as transsexuals since they have preferred their identities as a gender apart from the one they have structurally incorporated into bureaucracy. Transgender is generally advertised behind directly or indirectly by many societies as their biological changes are not discharged in their physical appearance. Though the Indian court authorized transgender in the year 2014 and then executed it again in the old age 2019 consisting of Non- discrimination, proof evidence, a policy of balance for transgender people, complaints experts, welfare drives, and healthcare settings, the National Council for Transgender People (NCT), charges and sanctions, and infrastructure supported (such as gender-noncommittal restrooms) are all included. These regulations have been implemented, but our experience has not yet espoused transsexual people. However, in India, transgender things don’t have separate billing counters, ward wards, washrooms, transport facilities, schools, colleges, etc. The transgender culture is still marginalized, with a rising learning rate among bureaucracy they are being hired for high-profile positions in the administration sectors. In the term of Modern sciences, barriers are paramount; transgender public feel embarrassed approaching physicians or different healthcare providers or hospitals cause in hospitals there are many difficulties such as unfit gender discrimination in the advertising and outpatient division, emergency department, and public restrooms.Although healing facilities have advanced to their most adequate extent in the new period, transgender people still prevent seeking healing attention because of within taboos that act as a obstruction and prevent them from taking care in an emergency. The physiotherapist is attractive a stance in upholding the transgender community by exploring and operating research on their physical and intellectual related issues in broadcasting the ambiguous concept to people.

Misconceptions about the Doctrine of Informed Consent in the Medical Profession | Chapter 9 | Research Developments in Medicine and Medical Science Vol. 4

 This item focuses on common misunderstandings in healthcare regarding in what way or manner physicians and medical analysts apply the doctrine of cognizant consent. The specific tale addressed has to do accompanying the level of care expected of medical pros when treating subjects. This paper also explains by virtue of what the legal past of informed consent has led to impressions about informed consent as used to both medical analysts and medical physicians. There has long been a public impression that medical scientists are subject to a lower standard of care than medical doctors in cases including informed consent. We contend that this misconception is largely from the fact that statutes, ethical organizing, guidelines, and allowable precedents within the healing and research profession are controlled by two separate bodies of laws and supervisory guidelines. Furthermore, cognizant consent in the medical setting has ordinarily been enacted generally from case law, while cognizant consent in the research setting has primarily happened enacted from sanctioned law and regulations.

Health and Well-Being of Nurses in Hospitals in Bangalore: A Cross-Sectional Study | Chapter 19 | Emerging Trends in Disease and Health Research Vol. 3

 

Background: The purpose of this study was to evaluate the health-related quality of life (HqOL) of nurses working in three different types of hospitals in Bangalore: trust, government, and private. Nurses are in charge of giving social and emotional support as well as medical treatment to patients in hospitals. Investigating the health and well-being of nursing professionals allows us to have a better understanding of the impact of their job and surroundings on their health and well-being. The degree to which an individual is capable of feeling health on bodily, emotional, and psychological levels is referred to as well-being.

In a cross-sectional field study, nurses working in three different types of hospitals were given the health-related QoL (SF-12v2) questionnaire. The poll included 115 healthy nurses aged 21 to 50 who were chosen at random. To assign the questionnaire and gather data, the nurses were personally met in small groups. Each of the 12 items on the scale has a different option and a number ranging from 1 to 5. The final product compares the health and well-being of the respondents in each of the three groups.

Results: Nurses' mental health and well-being received a lower-than-average score in Trust and Private hospitals, which was significantly lower than nurses in Government hospitals. While physical health and well-being were found to be below average but not statistically significant in all three types of hospitals, nurses had a stronger impact on mental well-being (P0.01).

Conclusion: In order to improve the health of nurses and consequently their productivity, hospital administrators and healthcare consultants must develop better work conditions.

Study on the Role of Nurse Administrator in Healthcare Services and Built Environment in Southern Nigeria | Chapter 3 | Issues and Development in Health Research Vol. 5

A capstone project was The Role of the Nurse Administrator in Healthcare Services and Healthcare Built Environment in Southern Nigeria. Public Health Nursing Management, Research and Nursing Research, and Administration and Management in Nursing were all used to create the theme. A federal government organisation developed a health facility to enhance mother and child health for its host community in Rivers State, Southern Nigeria, as part of its corporate social responsibility. The Obstetrician hired before to the inauguration ceremony in 2018 was to confirm the architectural design. He was accompanied by a nurse, however. The first-stage labour room, sluice room, treatment room, examination room, nurses' station, and toilet were all left out. This sparked the idea for the project's name. The study's goals were to determine the function of the nurse administrator in Southern Nigeria's healthcare services and built environment, raise awareness of this role among nurses on the front lines, and influence evidence-based healthcare built environment decisions. This will increase patient and healthcare provider safety, as well as patient clinical outcomes and nursing staff job satisfaction. The research was both descriptive and observational in nature. It was undertaken for a cross-section of nurses in the clinical, educational, and administrative fields in three states in Southern Nigeria using self-structured questions and a telephone interview method. There were 35 people who responded to the survey (35). Medical doctors 3 (8.6%), Civil Engineer 1 (2.9%), and Architect 1 (2.9%) are all males. Nurses 30 (85.7%) – (28 (93%) females and 2 (6.7%) males), Medical doctors 3 (8.6%), Civil Engineer 1 (2.9%), and Architect 1 (2.9%) are all males. According to data collected for healthcare built environment features, 46.4 percent of facilities lack a dedicated nurses' bathroom, 39.2 percent lack a cloakroom, 21.4 percent share a toilet with patients, and 28.6 percent lack a nurses' station. Only 10.7% of respondents were satisfied with the purpose-built healthcare environment, and remarked how it had a beneficial impact on them. Nurse Administrators represented nurses at meetings, 10.7% were involved in decision making, 3.6 percent contributed to healthcare built environment design, and 6.7 percent influenced built environment planning design. The importance of the built environment in healthcare has been undervalued, resulting in the poor design of most healthcare buildings. The study also discovered a strong correlation between the design of hospital spaces and patient, employee, and family outcomes. As a result, there is a need to raise awareness and incorporate nurse administrators and clinical nurses as frontline workers to guarantee that their views are heard when it comes to influencing decision-making among other professionals in the healthcare built environment. This will improve workflow operations, the work environment, and the safety and outcomes of patients and providers.
