Authors: Sharma Priyanka , Roy Neelam , Verma Anita , Aparnavi P. , Khongsit Aereosonova 
Published: September 2023

Background: Disasters pose various challenges to hospitals’ functioning during calamities. Resilient health system is the need of the hour. To work as a safe hospital even during disasters, it is important to sensitize, orient, and train doctors and other medical professionals towards disaster preparedness. This study was conducted to study the knowledge, attitudes, and practices about disaster preparedness among resident doctors.
Methodology: It was a cross-sectional study conducted amongst 363 resident doctors of a tertiary care teaching hospital in Delhi, India. A pretested self-administered semistructured questionnaire was used to gather information. Analysis was done using the SPSS version 21.0 and employing descriptive statistics.
Results: Mean age of the participants was 28.1 ± 2.8 years. Ninety-four (25.9 percent) study participants were found to have good/excellent knowledge about disaster preparedness, only 16.5 percent (60) had good awareness about the hospital’s disaster preparedness, and 306 (84.3 percent) study participants had a favorable attitude towards disaster preparedness. Age and educational qualification were found to be significantly associated with knowledge about disaster preparedness. Only 11.6 percent (42) resident doctors attended any mock drill for disaster preparedness in the past 1 year and less than one-fifth (68, 18.7 percent) received training in disaster preparedness.
Conclusion: A majority of study participants had a favorable attitude in spite of inadequate knowledge and awareness about disaster preparedness. There is a need to address this mismatch between knowledge and attitude through regular sensitization and retrainings along with frequent practical drills and simulation exercise.

Background: While studies have evaluated the impact of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) on the mental health of healthcare workers (HCW), to our knowledge, there are no studies in Pakistan, which have compared psychological distress levels during the first and second waves of the pandemic. This study was done to assess anxiety levels of Internal Medicine residents and identify risk factors for psychological distress.
Methodology: Cross-sectional study was conducted in the Aga Khan University Hospital, Karachi. A questionnaire comprising of demographic data and risk assessment tools, a seven-item Generalized Anxiety Disorder scale (GAD-7), and a nine-item Patient Health Questionnaire (PHQ) was used for data collection from Internal Medicine residents using nonprobability convenience sampling technique in May–June 2020 and April 2021.
Results: A total of 88 responses were recorded. Response rate was 75.7 percent (56/74) and 43.2 percent (32/74) during the first and second waves, respectively. Mean age was 27.9 ± 3.2 years and mean clinical career in years was 3.2 ± 2.1. Majority, 51.8 percent (29/56) and 68.8 percent (22/32), were not satisfied with community prevention measures and 75 percent (42/56) and 65.6 percent (21/32) considered interventions necessary in case of psychological distress during pandemic, during the first and second waves, respectively. A higher number of HCW reported their family not supporting their frontline work during the first wave (16.1 percent vs 3.1 percent; p value 0.023). There was a statistically significant difference in psychological distress levels as median GAD-7 scores were 5(IQR 2–8) vs 9.5(IQR 3.25–13) (p value 0.009) and median PHQ-9 scores were 4(IQR 2–11) vs. 7(IQR 4–s17) (p value 0.056) during the first and second waves, respectively.
Conclusion: There was a significant difference in anxiety levels during the first and second waves of COVID-19, and family support for frontline work was higher during the second wave. Further studies are required to assess these differences.

Published: September 2023

Background: We hypothesized that chronic opioid users would likely have worse outcomes with COVID-19 infection.
Methods: A retrospective review of electronic medical records was conducted for all COVID-19 patients admitted in two large academic hospitals in New York City from March 1, 2020 to June 30, 2020 during the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic. A total of 1,361 patients (1,289 opioid naïve patients, 72 with chronic opioid use) were included. A propensity score matched analysis was used to create a dataset. A logistic regression using the generalized estimating equations method was used to evaluate oxygen requirements including bilevel positive airway pressure (BiPAP), high flow nasal cannula (HFNC), and mechanical ventilation (MV). Cox models with random match pairs were fitted for time spent until hospital discharge and in-hospital mortality.
Results: The propensity score matched analysis did not demonstrate a significant difference between the chronic opioid use group vs the opioid naïve group for the use of oxygen support (p = 0.439), BiPAP (p = 0.377), HFNC (p = 0.978), or MV (p = 0.080), and length of stay (LOS) (p = 0.950). There was also no statistically significant finding for reduced need for MV (odds ratio 0.42, 95 percent CI: 0.16-1.11, p = 0.080) and lower in-hospital mortality (hazard ratio 0.75, 95 percent CI: 0.39-1.43, p = 0.378) in the chronic opioid use group; however, future larger studies will be needed.
Conclusions: Our study did not demonstrate a significant difference in outcomes in patients with COVID-19 with preadmission chronic opioid use vs opioid naïve patients in oxygen requirements, LOS, MV, or mortality. Future studies are needed to further illustrate the impact of opioids on COVID-19 outcomes.

Indirect Effect of Earnings Quality in the Linkage between Managerial Ability and Firm Performance: Evidence from an Emerging Economy
Authors: Zhang Guoxing, Aftab Hussain Tabasam, Muhammad Nadeem Khan Anam Ashiq, 
Published: September 2023

Purpose: This paper investigates the associations among managerial ability (MA), earnings quality (EQ) and financial performance of the firm (FP) in the context of Pakistani economy.
Design/methodology/approach: For testing objectives, the research proposed panel data model based on three earnings quality attributes, such as predictability, smoothness, and conservatism, between the managerial ability and corporate financial performance. For estimation, the study analyzed an unbalanced panel of 219 non-financial listed firms on the Pakistan Stock Exchange (PSX) for 2008-2021. To address the concerns of heteroscedasticity and autocorrelation, the study applied fixed effect regression with robust standard errors clustered at the firm level, as suggested by Newey and West (1987).
Findings: -The study provides that overall managerial ability enhances earnings quality and firm performance. In addition, it is observed that earnings quality plays a significant role in enhancing the firm financial performance. Furthermore, the findings also indicate that earnings quality partially mediates the linkage between managerial ability and firm performance. These results support the hypothesis that efficient managers enhance the earnings quality, reduce information asymmetries which translates into higher firm performance.
Research limitations/implications: The current research is limited to the non-financial sector; however, the study findings are undeniably beneficial for corporate managers in the context of developing economies where the managerial skills, quality of earnings and regulatory control is poor.
Originality/value: -The novelty of the study lies in the managerial ability and performance linkage considering earning quality as a mediator. Standard-setters and regulators can use the study's findings to understand how managerial skills affect corporate practices, accounting standards and behaviour.
