Abstract

Objective
To determine the levels of burnout among Greek nurses during the first wave of Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic and to investigate the relationship among levels of burnout, satisfaction and concern about information, personal protection equipment (PPE), and safety for COVID-19.

Methods
A cross-sectional study was conducted. Data were collected by using the Burnout subscale of the Greek version of the Professional Quality of Life Scale. Questions concerning satisfaction and concern about information, PPE, and safety for COVID-19 were added. Convenience sampling method was employed. Descriptive statistics and multiple linear regression analysis were applied, and distributions were tested for their symmetry using Bloom's method.

Results
The sample comprised of 301 nurses working in public and private hospitals in Greece. A moderate level of burnout was found among the Greek nurses (mean = 29.95, ±4.75). Regarding satisfaction and concern about information, PPE, and safety for COVID-19, nurses expressed overall low satisfaction with a mean score of 1.96 (±0.77), and high levels of concern with a mean score of 3.19 (±0.85). Increased satisfaction regarding the information provided was significantly associated with decreased levels of burnout (β = −1.32, P < 0.001), and increased concern for COVID-19 was significantly associated with increased levels of burnout (β= 0.83, P = 0.010).

Conclusions
Greek nurses expressed low satisfaction concerning information, PPE, and safety for COVID-19 and high levels of concern of possible COVID-19 transmission. Nevertheless, a moderate level of burnout was found.

Abstract

Objective
Given the importance of having knowledge on the hemovigilance process in nursing care, the present study was conducted to investigate the effect of the hemovigilance education on nursing students’ knowledge using a conceptual map. The current research was a semi-experimental study.

Methods
The samples consisted of 60 nursing students who were selected based on the inclusion criteria using the census sampling method. Thereafter, these participants were randomly assigned into the two groups: experimental and control groups. The required data were collected before, immediately after, and 1 month after the education using the hemovigilance knowledge questionnaire. Accordingly, the validity of this questionnaire was confirmed, and its reliability using the Cronbach's alpha coefficient was reported as 0.83. The education process was conducted during a 4-week period. Thereafter, the collected data were analyzed using descriptive and inferential statistics by SPSS v25.

Results
The results reveal that a significant difference existed between the knowledge scores of students in the experimental group compared with that of the control group during different times (including before, immediately after, and 1 month after the education) (P < 0.0001). Of note, hemovigilance education had a significant effect on the students’ knowledge (P < 0.0001).

Conclusions
Due to the effect of the hemovigilance education on the students’ knowledge and by applying the conceptual map in the easy transfer of the educational concepts, it is recommended that the results of the present study be used to strengthen the theoretical and clinical education of nursing students.

Published: October 2022

Abstract

Objective
Baccalaureate degree curricula consist of several professional values required for nursing students, which are taught in many ways. This study aimed to explore the perception of baccalaureate Jordanian nursing students regarding professional values and to assess the relationship between students’ demographics and their perception of professional values.

Methods
The study design was a descriptive, cross-sectional correlational design. A convenience sample of 182 Jordanian undergraduate nursing students enrolled at one of the most prominent universities in Jordan who completed and submitted a self-administered Nurses’ Professional Values Scale (NPVS) was considered for this study.

Results
The NPVS total score ranged from 37 to 130, with a relatively high total score mean (99.68 with a mean of 3.83 out of 5). The highest score domain in NPVS was “Justice” with a mean of 3.97, while the lowest ranked domain was “Activism” with a mean of 3.69. The correlation coefficient showed no statistically significant correlation between age nor accumulative students’ average with a total score of Nurses Professional Values Scale-revised (NPVS-R) and its subdomains. The t test results showed that gender and type of students’ enrollment (regular vs. upgrading) did not affect the means of NPVS-R and its subdomains. But differences were found to be statistically significant between the means of first year students and fourth year students in the total score of NPVS-R.

Conclusions
Findings of the study alert nursing educators to pay more attention to the importance of promoting the values related to “activism” and “professionalism” among nursing students. Suggestions for enhancing the roles of peer supervision and providing peer review to colleagues would contribute to improving nursing students’ performance and raising self-awareness because when nursing educators pay more attention to the items of these domains, better future nursing professionals, leaders, and researchers can be gained. Also, understanding nursing students’ perceptions of the importance of professional values and the difficulties in its application would be vital to enlighten educators about the areas that need improvement.

Abstract

Background
Hypertension is one of the leading causes of death in developed and developing countries that need urgent strategies to implement interventions. Appropriate lifestyle modification practices are the corner stone of the prevention and control.

Objective
To assess lifestyle modification practices and associated factors among hypertensive patients.

Methods
A facility-based cross-sectional study was conducted among hypertensive patients from 1 April to 30 April 2019. Simple random sampling was used to select the study subjects. Data were entered to EpiData 3.1 and exported to Statistical Package for Social Sciences, version 25.0, for analysis. A binary logistic regression analysis was performed to determine predictors of lifestyle modifications among hypertensive patients.

Results
The findings of this study revealed that the level of lifestyle modification practice was 79 (39.5%). This finding is very low, and it has a significant effect on the management of hypertensive disorders and hypertension-related acute and chronic complications. Ethnicity, family history of hypertension, and knowledge about hypertension were identified as predictors of lifestyle modification practice.

Conclusions
In this study, lifestyle modification practice is low (about 40%), but scientifically, almost all hypertensive patients on follow-up should practice lifestyle modification modalities.

Published: October 2022

Abstract
This study empirically investigates the relationship between perceived pressure, perceived opportunity, perceived rationalization, and fraud tendency in people’s trust at the individual level in Malaysia. The study adopted a case study that focuses on the Indigenous People’s Trust Fund (Majlis Amanah Rakyat, MARA), a trust body fully supported by Malaysia’s government. Recently, corporate fraud has gained much attention in Malaysia, which negatively affects foreign investors’ perception. In Malaysia, several empirical studies were done on fraud, but fraud study in people’s trust and organization linked to the government is scanty. This study applied a quantitative method of correlation and multiple regression. From 177 respondents, the study uncovered that fraud tendency is high in people’s trust. This study suggests that follow up analysis and fraud control policy needs to be done in Malaysia’s organization. The study also reveals that perceived opportunity is considered as a significant variable influencing employees to commit fraud. The study’s outcomes are in line with past studies on the actual and generalization of “Fraud Triangle Theory.” It has practical implications in governance, internal control, fraud control, and employee hiring process.

Published: October 2022

Abstract
The agricultural branch of the Portuguese cooperative sector assumes an important role in rural development and in the inter-cooperation with local, regional, national, and international structures. Given the principles and values that guide cooperatives, they have a greater responsibility in respecting the pillars of good governance such as transparency, integrity, and accountability. However, cooperatives may not be exempt from corruption. The objective of this paper is to assess farmers’ perception of corruption in the agricultural cooperative sector and to analyse if that level depends on their personal characteristics, on farm-specific characteristics, and the relations with the cooperative. With data collected through a survey, a logistic model was estimated to analyse the impact of personal characteristics of farmers and of their farms in the odd of score very high the level of corruption in the agriculture cooperative sector. Results suggest that farmers perceive high levels of corruption and that gender, age, turnover, and seniority as members of the cooperative are relevant predictors of the said level of corruption. These results raise awareness for the greater need of social accountability, more attention for management and supervisory bodies for the ethics of governance, as well as the need to implement internal control systems.

Abstract
Human capital in corporate governance is composed of both individual knowledge, skills and capabilities, as well as the experience of employees and management staff. The translation of human capital, namely the knowledge, skills and degree of involvement of employees, into positive organizational results is an objective of performance management. This objective is based on the relations between management and subordinates regarding the establishment of future tasks, the ways of solving them, but also on the benefits granted following the materialization of the results. Starting from these aspects, the present work aims to analyze the link of intensity that is established between the creation of the knowledge asset and its effective use in solving the tasks. In this sense, we proceeded to identify those aspects related to the structural elements of human capital that refer to the knowledge asset, the accumulation of information and its transmission between employees, because a correct assessment of the level of employee involvement in increasing the general level of knowledge of the enterprise will have a positive and direct impact in the surplus of financial results.
