COMPETÊNCIA EM INFORMAÇÃO NO COMBATE A DESINFORMAÇÃO NA EDUCAÇÃO PROFISSIONAL E TECNOLÓGICA: ESTADO DA ARTE
Authors: Santos Leticia Rodrigues dos , Santos Edméa Oliveira dos
Published: January 2025

RESUMO A competência em informação é considerada o processo de desenvolvimento e aprimoramento das relações com o ecossistema informacional, fomentando uma visão crítica sobre a realidade que estão inseridas. Essa competência envolve habilidades como a identificação de informações relevantes, avaliação crítica de fontes de informação, organização e uso efetivo das informações, além de habilidades de comunicação para compartilhar informações com outros indivíduos e/ou grupos. A desinformação contempla a distorção, a omissão de contexto, o enviesamento de notícias, o excesso de informação, entre outros. Neste estudo, objetivamos realizar uma pesquisa denominada “estado da arte”, com o propósito levantar os trabalhos efetivados até o momento sobre a competência em informação no combate a desinformação na educação profissional e tecnológica. O estudo toma como base as produções publicadas no Portal de Periódicos da CAPES, na Base de Dados Referenciais de Artigos de Periódicos em Ciência da Informação e na Biblioteca Brasileira de Teses e Dissertações, até maio de 2023, sobre a competência em informação como estratégia para combater a desinformação na Educação Profissional e Tecnológica. Pode-se constatar que o tema competência em informação e desinformação contemplaram um expressivo número de trabalhos, porém pouco foi encontrado quando se refere a essa temática na Educação Profissional e Tecnológica, sendo esse um motivo para que mais estudos sejam investigados nessa área.

Authors: Pires Renata Chácara , Martins Haysla Xavier , Barbosa Míriam , Molina Maria del Carmen Bisi
Published: January 2025

ABSTRACT Objective: To assess the association between the combination of corporal adiposity (CA) and cardiorespiratory physical fitness (CRF) with cardiometabolic risk factors in children aged 7–10 years. Methods: Cross-sectional observational study with a sample of 251 children registered in Family Health Units. Sociodemographic, lifestyle, anthropometric, biochemical, blood pressure, and CRF data were collected. Cardiometabolic risk factors assessed: total cholesterol, HDL-c, LDL-c, triglycerides (TG), fasting glucose and blood pressure. CRF was assessed by the 6-minute run/walk test and classified into: “physically unfit” and “physically fit”. Nutritional status was assessed by body mass index (BMI)/age and categorized into CA groups: “no excess weight [≤ z-score+1]” and “excess weight [> z-score+1]”. CRF and CA were combined, and the children were classified as “no excess weight + physically fit”, “no excess weight + physically unfit”, “excess weight + physically fit” and “excess weight + physically unfit”. Bivariate analyses were performed, and Poisson regression models were tested. The Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS) version 21.0 software was used, adopting p<0.05. Results: Around 65% of the children had low CRF and 59% had excess weight (overweight+obesity). After adjustment, there was a greater occurrence of having altered HDL-c, TG and presence of ≥ 3 grouped cardiometabolic factors among those who had excess weight + physically unfit. Conclusions: The prevalence of altered HDL and TG and of ≥3 grouped cardiometabolic risk factors was significantly higher among children who had excess weight and were physically unfit.
Redescobrir a poesia de Nietzsche
Authors: Métayer Guillaume
Published: January 2025

Resumo Este artigo apresenta ao leitor a primeira edição completa e tradução das poesias de Nietzsche. As edições publicadas até então são, na verdade, meras antologias. Muitas de suas obras poéticas, especialmente sua Juvenília, não estão incluídas nessas coleções, e, no entanto, elas testemunham um estrato primário de sua imaginação e, consequentemente, ajudam-nos a explorar seu uso de metáforas em seu pensamento. Esta edição dos poemas, que tenta ser fiel à sua forma original, tem como objetivo lançar uma nova luz sobre o corpo de trabalho de Nietzsche, dando à sua poesia uma posição central dentro de seus escritos filosóficos.

Abstract Civil engineering plays a pivotal role in advancing sustainability by offering increasingly viable and cutting-edge alternatives in materials management. In this context, the objective of this study is to assess the feasibility of reusing water for mixing concrete test specimens after employing a ceramic filter as a means of water purification. Additionally, we aim to compare the properties of the concrete and the chemical parameters of the water. To achieve this, a quantitative and qualitative investigation was conducted through laboratory tests to characterize the materials and perform a physical-chemical analysis of water from two samples sourced from the water table drawdown. One sample was in its raw form, while the other was treated with a ceramic filter. Mechanical strength tests were also carried out. Upon analyzing the obtained results, it was observed that the filtered water exhibited an 8.66% increase in compressive strength compared to the raw water. In the physical analysis of the water, both samples met the criteria for pH, color, and total dissolved substances. Furthermore, the chemical analysis of the water revealed a decrease in five out of the six parameters analyzed, specifically total alkalinity, chloride, phosphate, nitrate, sulfate, and zinc content. In conclusion, it can be inferred that there is potential to reduce certain elements in untreated water that adversely affect concrete strength and quality, in addition to improving the pH levels. Another noteworthy finding was the enhanced compressive strength of concrete when using treated water as opposed to raw water.

Published: January 2025

The cement industry is strongly committed to a very ambitious ‘zero emissions’ trajectory while maintaining the highest level of quality and durability performance. The zero emissions target will be reached using several leverages, including the reduction of the clinker content in cement. Low-clinker cements represent a market solution and are already efficiently implemented in many European countries. However, the early-age strength development of low-clinker cement at less than that of ordinary Portland cements (OPC) with a higher clinker content. The use of blends of low-clinker Portland cement and calcium sulfoaluminate (CSA) cement could meet the need for a low carbon dioxide binder with high early strength. In this work, the behaviour of four blended cements containing CSA clinker, OPC clinker, limestone, fly ash, pozzolan and slag was characterised using different techniques in terms of resistance to carbonation, chloride migration and sulfate attack. The findings indicate that durability performance is enhanced when supplementary cementitious materials (SCMs) with pozzolanic or latent hydraulic activity are present, as opposed to the presence of limestone. SCMs also play an active role in the OPC–CSA matrix. A blend of CSA–OPC cement and slag represents a system characterised by both high early and late strengths, along with favourable durability behaviour.

It has been found that worldwide (including Colombia) limitations in professional skills for the approach to pain in the elderly predominate. This research book aims to share the experiences and results of the research project Design and Pilot Study of an Online Course to Empower Health Professionals in the Care of Pain among Older Adults in Santa Marta, Colombia, carried out in collaboration with the Universidad del Norte and the Universidad Central de Chile, which was funded by the Initiative of the International Association for the Study of Pain to support pain education in developing countries.
The book describes the process of designing and evaluating the potential of an online course, valid for our culture, based on the characterization of the barriers and opportunities for quality care for older people with pain in our environment. To identify these barriers, as well as to select the best strategies and content for the design of the online course, quantitative and qualitative strategies were combined, including systematic reviews of the literature that addressed issues related to stereotypes about old age, the pedagogical design of courses virtual, basic skills for pain care and interprofessional education.
It contains more than 100 references, of which more than half are from 2021 and 2022. The work is organized into seven chapters, divided into two parts: the first deals with the first phase of the project whose purpose was to characterize barriers and opportunities to improve the quality of care and implement training processes, which concluded with the design and development of the online course (four chapters). The second part is dedicated to describing the piloting of the course, in which its acceptability, feasibility, quality, and short-term impact on competencies were evaluated (three chapters).

The exportation of pitaya has distinguished Ecuador as a leader in the exportation of the yellow variety and a prestigious producer of the red variety. However, the losses caused by phytopathogenic fungi in pitaya destined for exporting are significant to both the agricultural industry and the national economy. It is estimated that these losses can reach up to 50% in developing countries and 25% in developed countries (Andrés Cadena, 2020).

Published: January 2025

In recent years, the health challenges linked to frailty in the elderly, particularly those worsened by cigarette smoke, have become more pronounced. However, quantitative studies examining the impact of smoking dosage on frailty in this population remain limited. To address this gap, we developed a model using smoke-exposed elderly mice. Fifteen-month-old C57BL/6J mice were exposed to smoke from two burning cigarettes for 15 min in a whole-body chamber. This exposure occurred 4, 6, and 8 times daily for 30 days, representing low, medium, and high smoking dosages, respectively. Frailty levels were assessed through rotation and grip strength tests, alongside lung histopathology and inflammatory factor protein expression analyses across the three dosage groups. Additionally, we used the Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO) database to validate the correlation between frailty and inflammation in elderly smokers, facilitating cross-comparisons between animal model findings and human sample data. Our results show that mice exposed to high-dose smoking were significantly more prone to frailty, with notable reductions in maximal grip strength (P < 0.01) and drop time (P < 0.001). Among human samples, 69.2% of elderly smokers exhibited a frailty phenotype, compared to just 15.4% of nonsmokers. Both smoking-exposed mice and elderly smokers demonstrated upregulation of tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) and interleukin-1 β (IL-1β) in lung tissue and serum. Mechanistically, this upregulation activates the NF-κB signaling pathway. Our findings quantitatively link smoking-induced frailty to increased levels of TNF-α and IL-1β, providing experimental evidence for the diagnosis and prevention of frailty in elderly populations.
Issues and Prospects for the Development of Mechatronics and Microsystem Technology

Published: January 2025

This article is devoted to the review and analysis of the fundamentals of mechatronics and microsystem technology. The purpose of the work is to find the existing relationship between them, as well as the possibility of their further joint development. To solve this problem, an analysis of the basic concepts and terms existing in both these scientific directions was carried out, existing samples of microsystem technology products were considered on the example of primary information sensors built on the basis of microelectromechanical systems (MEMS). It is shown that at present there are already micromechanical devices that have in their composition, in addition to mechanical elements, also application specific integrated circuit (ASIC). The chip has a built-in processor unit with ROM, which provides the ability to individually configure and calibrate each sensor. This allows us to talk about MEMS sensors as mechatronic devices. The analysis of the development of micromechanical systems in the concept of mechatronics is carried out. This concept is based on the concept of a "mechatronic technosphere", which will be a set of technological robot systems together with the entire set of technical means. The components of the above-mentioned aggregate will not be related to the anthropometric parameters of a person. The currently existing micromechanical components, such as mechatronic devices of the third generation, need to be endowed with artificial intelligence and an autonomous power source. The resulting "mini robot" will be able to perform the tasks assigned to it in many spheres of human activity. Further improvement of mechatronic devices of the third generation should consist in creating the possibility of self-reproduction and self-improvement, so that some micromachines create other micromachines. At its core, it will already be nano-mechatronics and nanosystem technology, which will become the fourth generation of mechatronic devices. The new fifth generation of devices will come when it becomes possible to create a control system in which the numerical program code will be replaced by neural chips and neurocomputers. The possibilities that will open up with the advent of autonomous neurobionic nanorobots will be limitless, especially in the medical field.

The COVID-19 pandemic has affected the global population, causing significant economic effect, material damage, and irreparable human losses. Many countries were forced to promptly reorganize their healthcare system in order to save patients with COVID-19. The pathogenesis and specifics of the disease are not completely understood, but one pattern is particularly clear: COVID-19 tends to be more severe in people with obesity. Fatty tissue is known to support chronic low-grade inflammation and has its own endocrine activity. Over time, it became obvious that some patients still have consequences following the acute phase of COVID-19, which in some cases lead to irreversible changes in the body and reduced quality of life. This condition was called post-COVID syndrome. In this article, we review the long-term effects of COVID-19 on different body systems. We focused on pathogenic infection mechanisms and features of post-COVID syndrome in people with obesity.

Published: January 2025

Background: Work-related musculoskeletal disorders (WRMD) is a public and occupational health problem as it increases costs, absenteeism, and productivity loss. Identifying work-related risk factors for development of WRMD through screening tools is essential to determine and preventively treat patients. The objective of this study is to synthesis and evaluate the available screening tools for WMSD in the working population.
Methods: A comprehensive rapid literature review was performed through a structured search. Inclusion criteria were: 1) screening tools for musculoskeletal disorders, 2) studies presenting analytical results such as proportion descriptions, sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value and negative predictive value, and 3) articles focusing on the working population.
Results: A total of 4,584 articles were identified, with a final count of 8 articles included in the review. Screening tools identified encompassed various aspects, including work-related factors, psychosocial elements, and the working environment. This inclusive approach enables the prediction of WRMD in specific musculoskeletal sites, facilitating the categorization of workers based on their risk of developing WRMD and the necessity for medical consultation regarding their symptoms.
Conclusion: The recognition of the broader societal and industrial impact of WRMD enhances the importance of advancing screening methodologies to address this health problem.

Published: January 2025

Background: Geriatric patients are individuals with compromised overall functioning. The objective of this study was to assess the prescribing pattern and evaluate the therapeutic efficacy of the prescribed antibiotics.
Methods: The prescribed antibiotics were grouped using anatomical therapeutic chemical classification (ATC) and World Health Organization defined daily dose (WHO DDD)/100-bed days was calculated to analyse consumed antibiotics. The neutrophils and lymphocyte count before and after therapy was used to assess the therapeutic efficacy.
Results: Disease frequency was categorised using the International classification of disease (ICD-11) which reported 126 diseases, with 50 cases grouped under respiratory system. Selection of antibiotic was mainly definitive (37.14%) with dual therapy (55.71%) and with antibiotic sensitivity test (61.43%). Cephalosporins, was the most prescribed antibiotic class, specifically ceftriaxone. For every 100 bed days, 6.7 DDD of antibiotics were consumed in which 103 antibiotics were administered via intravenous route and 42 oral routes. The deviation of prescribed daily dose (PDD) from the DDD was performed for prescribed antibiotics of varying doses. Significant percentage deviation was observed for azithromycin (-70%) and piperacillin+tazobactam (-4.79%). The negative sign of the deviation indicates that the mean PDDs were higher than their respective WHO DDD. Furthermore, 81.38% of consumed antibiotic was from watch category of WHO essential medicine list (EML). Interestingly, the decrease in neutrophils and increase in lymphocytes prove the therapeutic efficacy of antibiotics.
Conclusions: Watch antibiotics was the most prescribed and therapeutic efficacy was frequent with dual antibiotics therapy and in monotherapy of piperacillin-tazobactam.

A detailed analysis of psychological components that influence the preparation of armwrestlers for the
competitive process is carried out in this scientific work. The main focus was aimed not only at studying physical exercises
that contribute to the development of strength and technical skills, but also on the psychological preparation of athletes
before important competitions. Arm wrestling is one of those sports where instant reaction and high physical power are
required. So an integrated approach to training, which includes the psychological stability of athletes, plays a critical role
in this. During the study 22 arm wrestling trainers were interviewed, who shared their experience in setting up the athletes
for upcoming performances. Developing right mental attitude is a central element of training, as it directly affects athletic
achievements. The analysis showed that the effectiveness of athletes’ performances is closely related to their psychological
preparedness, which is formed during the period of direct preparation for fights. Thus, coaches not only develop physical
exercises, but also focus significant efforts on psychological conditioning of athletes, which, in turn, significantly increases
their chances to succeed. The importance of psychological training of athletes is shown. In the course of the analysis,
the psychological aspects of armwrestlers’ preparation for competitions were revealed. When preparing the scientific work,
various sources were involved, including materials from periodical publications devoted to the psychological characteristics
of armwrestlers’ preparation for competitions. The study was based on the use of such methodological approaches as
analysis, synthesis and systematization of information. The applied research methods provided an opportunity for an
objective assessment and analysis of the accumulated data, which, in turn, became the basis for the justified conclusions
regarding the psychological aspect of armwrestlers’ preparation for the upcoming competitions.

High competition among student handball teams forces specialists to look for new approaches to improve the
training process. The complexity of such searches is related to the conditions of competitive activity in handball, which
proceeds with a variable intensity of neuromuscular stresses, which characterizes extreme loads. To increase the accuracy of hitting the goal and special endurance of handball players, a technique has been developed that simulates loads of
variable intensity with specially selected exercises and simulates competitive activity. The purpose of the research is to
study dynamics of the throw accuracy and heart rate during extreme physical exertion, simulating competitive activities in
handball.
The article presents results of the introduction of an experimental technique for the specific construction of training
sessions, intensity of which was brought to extremes, both game exercises 4 : 4, 3 : 3 for one half and for the entire playground.
During the experiment, the effect of such extreme loads on the accuracy of hits and changes in heart rate during the annual
cycle was studied. Effectiveness of the technique has been proven, which contributed to improving the accuracy of shots at
the goal for 91 balls, i.e. contributed to an improvement in sports performance by 15% within one year cycle.

Adaptive physical education is becoming increasingly popular in modern society, especially with people with
disabilities. Properly organized classes help them improve their physical condition, increase self-esteem and overall
wellbeing. Therefore, it is important to study what basic principles contribute to the effectiveness of adaptive physical
education classes. The authors of this article focus on the process of adaptive physical education classes with students
with disabilities, as well as basic principles and methods that ensure effectiveness of adaptive physical education classes
for students with disabilities. Research hypothesis: an individual approach to each student, the correct choice of physical
exercises, motivation and support, as well as systematic nature of classes play a key role in the effectiveness of adaptive
physical education classes. Testing this hypothesis allowed us to identify the most important aspects that must be taken
into account when organizing classes with this category of students. To achieve this goal and test the hypothesis, various
research methods were used: analysis of scientific literature on the topic of adaptive physical education, observation of
classes with students with disabilities, as well as surveys and interviews with both students themselves and their instructors.
This comprehensive approach allowed us to gain a more complete understanding of the key principles that contribute to
the success of our studies.

Published: January 2025

Background: This systematic review and meta-analysis aimed to evaluate the prevalence and clinical implications of metabolic syndrome in individuals with diabetes mellitus.
Methods: A comprehensive search was conducted across multiple databases using key terms related to metabolic syndrome and diabetes. Access to subscription-based journals was facilitated through the HINARI program. Study quality was assessed using the adapted Newcastle–Ottawa scale, with a minimum inclusion score of ≥5/10. Statistical analysis included a meta-analysis using the DerSimonian and Laird random-effects model to determine the pooled prevalence, with heterogeneity assessed using Cochran’s Q and I² statistics. Publication bias was evaluated via funnel plot symmetry. Analyses were conducted using Stata/MP 17.0.
Results: The meta-analysis revealed a pooled effect size of 1.98 (95% CI: 1.85, 2.10), with significant heterogeneity (I² = 92.35%). Prevalence ranged from 19.88% to 88.13%, underscoring a substantial burden. Variations in HbA1c, HDL cholesterol, blood pressure, and BMI highlighted the heterogeneity in metabolic syndrome characteristics. Advanced statistical approaches enriched the understanding of metabolic profiles and their interplay with glycemic control and lipid metabolism.
Conclusion: This study underscores the critical interplay between glycemic control and lipid profiles in metabolic syndrome. The findings emphasize the need for tailored, region-specific interventions to address its substantial burden and implications for clinical practice and policy.

Published: January 2025

Background: We aimed to investigate the subject matters and the quality of publications detailing the findings of cohort studies within the realm of complementary and alternative medicine (CAM).
Methods: A scoping review was conducted on cohort studies in the CAM field up to the conclusion of 2023. The evaluation of their quality was carried out utilizing the 'Strengthening the Reporting of Observational Studies in Epidemiology' (STROBE) checklist. Moreover, an analysis of their research settings and associated variables, including publication year, type of disease, intervention method, and study field, was conducted.
Results: Overall, 215 articles were identified. The majority of these cohorts, approximately 42.3%, originated from Taiwan, with stroke and cardiovascular diseases emerging as the most prevalent outcomes of interest. The mean STROBE score was 1.38 (SD=0.57) out of 2. The lowest scores were associated with the methods and funding sections. Methodologically, the principal weaknesses were linked to sample size, loss to follow-up, and bias control.
Conclusion: The frequency of cohort studies in CAM was limited, predominantly concentrated in a few countries. Chinese medicine and acupuncture were the main intervention methods, while other CAM interventions received less focus. Furthermore, the quality of these studies was deemed unsatisfactory in most cases.

Background: Under the influence of numerous life factors, speech constantly undergoes changes. Parents of children with speech and language disorders have a lower quality of life compared to the parents of children without. The study examined different domains of the quality of life of families with and without speech disorders.
Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted in Serbia, in 2024, on a sample of 206 preschool children aged 5- 7 years and their parents/guardians. As a research instrument, in addition to the General Questionnaire on sociodemographic characteristics of children and parents’ respondents/guardians, the Family Quality of Life Survey (FQOL) was used to assess the family's quality of life.
Results: Articulation disorder was detected in 78.2% of children. Difference between the two groups of parents was found in terms of place of residence, work status, education levels, and children’s age. From the five domains of family quality of life, significance was found in the domain of family interaction regarding the support, support related to disability, and family safety. Regarding the physical/material well-being domain, the significance was found for dental care and parenting domains. No differences were found in the domain of emotional well-being.
Conclusion: The importance of the study reflects in the possibility of applying the obtained research results for the creation of educational programs that will encourage positive attitudes of parents and children about speech therapy interventions, which can influence successful rehabilitation of speech disorders and improve family quality of life.

Background: We aimed to enhance the quality of cancer care by reducing the rate of sample rejection and lowering the incidence of sample mislabeling at the Sultan Qaboos Comprehensive Cancer Care and Research Centre in Muscat, Oman.
Methods: We adopted a one-group pretest-posttest quasi-experimental design from the second quarter of 2022 to the first quarter of 2023, assessing key performance indicators related to sample rejection and mislabeling on quarterly basis before and after implementing targeted interventions. The project utilized the FOCUS PDCA framework for systematic implementation and evaluation. Four FOCUS PDCA sessions were conducted involving a multidisciplinary team of ten participants comprising oncologists, nurses, laboratory technicians, quality management experts, and informatics and cyber security department staff. Ethical clearance was obtained from the Institutional Review Board, ensuring adherence to ethical protocols. Interventions included five educational sessions for nurses and physicians, process modifications, and improved communication protocols.
Results: Analysis revealed a significant decrease in the rate of rejected samples, declining from 20.85% during Pre-Intervention to 6.05% in the Post Intervention phase. Similarly, the mislabeling rate exhibited a substantial reduction, decreasing from 1.68% to 0.25% over the same period. Statistical analysis using ANOVA confirmed significant differences between intervention phases for both the rejected samples rate (F-value = 12.3458, P-value = 0.002) and the mislabeling rate (F-value = 57.1875, P-value < 0.001).
Conclusion: These results underscored the effectiveness of the interventions in improving blood sample collection and management processes, thereby enhancing the reliability of study outcomes.

Published: January 2025

Background and Objectives: Antibiotic residues in food, including eggs, are potentially risky to public health. The objective of this systematic review was to evaluate the relative frequency of antibiotic residues in eggs sold in Iran.
Methods: PubMed, Scopus, Web of Science, Google Scholar, MagIran, Scientific Information Database, and IranDoc were searched. Two independent reviewers screened the titles and abstracts based on the inclusion and exclusion criteria. The inclusion criteria were articles written in English or Persian investigating the relative frequency of antibiotic residues in eggs in Iran, and the exclusion criteria were articles without an available full text. Frequency data, publication year, diagnostic test type, and sampling location were extracted from relevant articles.
Results: Among the 217 identified results, 11 articles were included in the systematic review. ELISA (six articles) was the most frequently used diagnostic test. East Azerbaijan province accounted for the most significant number of studies (four articles) based on the geographical distribution of sampling locations. Seven classes of antibiotics and 12 types of antibiotics were estimated in terms of antibiotic residues, with tetracyclines (5 articles, 6 assessments) having the highest number of assessments. In addition, the highest reported relative frequencies were related to tetracycline residues (100%) in Isfahan and chloramphenicol (75%) in Tabriz.
Conclusion: Tetracycline and chloramphenicol residues had the most significant relative frequency in eggs across Iran.

Safety climate assessment is considered an effective tool to investigate employees' perceptions of workplace safety practices, attitudes, and behaviors. Scope and Aims: The purpose of the survey is to assess the lesser studied field of the climate of workplace safety among employees in the Greek public healthcare sector, with the following objectives: a) to identify the most decisive factors that determine the climate of safety at work in order to prioritize interventions, and b) to subserve commitment to create a positive climate of safety among both management and employees. Methods: For this purpose, a cross-sectional study was conducted in 23 hospitals, which concerned all employees. The tool used was the Nordic Occupational Safety Climate Questionnaire (NOSACQ-50) and data collection took place during 2023-2024. Results: The results showed that the safety climate among healthcare workers was quite negative and that there was a need for interventions (minor or major). Parameters with high statistical variation (< 0.0001) were identified, such as working position (employee or leader), employment status (tenure), age, hospital of origin, and specialty of the employee. Conclusion: To address the gaps identified, efforts need to be made to promote an effective and positive safety climate in all hospitals in the study, to emphasize prevention, and to strengthen the commitment of both management and employees in this direction.
