Systematic Searching and Selection of Health State Utility Values from the Literature

Health state utility values (HSUVs) are important parameters in decision models in health technology assessment submissions. Reimbursement agencies, such as the National Institute for Health and Clinical Excellence, recognize that such values are obtainable from the published literature. However, to use published values in health technology assessment submissions, it should be demonstrated that HSUVs have been identified and selected systematically to avoid using biased HSUVs resulting in cost-effectiveness analyses. This article presents guidance on how to conduct a systematic literature review to identify and select HSUVs from the published literature based on the authors’ experience. A case study is used to demonstrate some of the features of a systematic HSUV review. Methods are discussed in relation to identifying and selecting the evidence, performing quality and relevance assessment, and undertaking data extraction. It has been developed from a Technical Support Document produced for the National Institute for Health and Clinical Excellence by the Decision Support Unit at the School of Health and Related Research, University of Sheffield.     

唐山市某医院医护人员对HPV及其疫苗认知和接受度调查

目的:调查河北省唐山某医院医护人员对HPV及其疫苗的认知、态度和接受性,探究全科医师和护士对HPV疫苗接种的看法,为HPV疫苗的推广提供一定的基础。方法:采用自行设计的调查问卷,以自填式匿名方式调查唐山市某医院200名医护人员对HPV病毒及其疫苗的认知态度。结果:198名医护人员中,91.5%的医师和75.0%的护士曾经听说过HPV,53.2%的医师和47.7%的护士曾经听说过HPV疫苗,超过半数的医师和护士担心HPV疫苗的安全性(61.2%vs 65.8%)和有效性(59.6%vs 65.1),仅有23.4%医师和34.8%护士愿意接受该疫苗,53.1%医师和30.9%护士建议患者使用HPV疫苗,仅有30.0%左右医师和护士赞同让自己的子女接受HPV疫苗,65.3%医师和55.7%的护士建议满18周岁接种HPV疫苗。结论:医师和护士关于HPV病毒的认知水平较高,但不够全面,对HPV疫苗认知不足,多数医师和护士对HPV疫苗持观望态度。     

中央苏区时期医德医风建设思想的现实价值

在中央苏区时期,形成了强化医生生源质量,健全医学教育机制,创新思想政治工作,给予各种保障待遇等加强医德医风建设思想.它是一种无产阶级彻底的革命精神和宝贵的精神财富,对于当前深化考试招生制度改革,把好医德医风“质量入口”关;构建科学合理培养体系,把好医德医风“教学教育”关;健全绩效监督考核机制,把好医德医风“鞭笞出口”关,从而完善中国特色的医疗卫生事业,具有重要的现实价值.

Resilience Among Professional Health Workers in Emergency Services

IntroductionAlthough it seems logical that working in an emergency service implies having a great capacity to face extreme situations, resilience in health care workers has been shown to be related not only to individual personality characteristics but also with external factors. The objective of this study was to understand the resilience of health professionals working in hospital and in-hospital emergency services and to determine the relationships of resilience with sociodemographic and work-related conditions.MethodsThis cross-sectional study included emergency physicians, nurses, and nursing assistants. Sociodemographic variables, work characteristics, and the Resilience Scale–25 were analyzed. Data were not missing at random and models with imputed data were tested.ResultsA total of 321 professionals participated. Their mean age was 43.36 years (SD 8.73), and 81.31% were women. The mean resilience score was 133.38 (SD 17.11), which corresponds to moderately low to moderate levels. Being single (B = −7.35; P < .01) or divorced (B = −8.26; P = .04) were associated with decreased resilience in the raw score of the Resilience Scale-25. Working shifts that do not include night shift (OR = 2.00, 95% CI 1.04, 3.90, P = .04) and being a nurse (OR = 2.11, 95% CI 1.07, 4.18; P = .03) were associated with higher odds of belonging to categories of lower resilience levels. However, more professional work experience was related to lower odds of belonging to categories of lower resilience levels (OR = 0.94, 95% CI 0.89-0.99, P < .04). Several variables, including marital status, demonstrated inconsistent associations across different modeling methods.ConclusionsResilience in professional health workers was related to personal and working conditions. The scores of emergency staff were low and improvement with specific strategies is needed.
