Aim of the Study The objective of this study was to identify and compare the most significant personal features, and social and psychophysiological characteristics of future health-care managers in order to improve the training program for specialists in the field of health care and public health on the basis of modern concepts about the necessary leadership skills and competence. Significance The results of the study make it possible to evaluate the effectiveness of career guidance and selection for training future health-care managers on the basis of the application of the following methods assessing emotional intelligence and taking into account the psychological characteristics of students. Materials and Methods A total of 242 students of medical and preventive care, residents, and undergraduate students who were trained in the program "Factory of Health Leaders" were included in the study evaluating the level of professional training and indicators of emotional intelligence. Participants underwent testing using a methodology of the management style assessment, as well as testing of their psychophysiological and emotional characteristics. Results Students who studied in the "Factory of Health Leaders" program had better indicators of emotional intelligence than had ordinary students, but their rates are comparable with residents' rates. This makes us understand that the additional training of emotional intelligence in the process of studying under the higher education program can be successful along with great practical experience in health care as part of residents' curriculum. Conclusion The training of leadership qualities and emotional intelligence in students by using the example of comparing students in the "Factory of Health Leaders" program with students who have not undergone such training has confirmed its high efficiency and significance in the training of highly qualified personnel in health care.

We assess, at the individual level, linkage of newly diagnosed persons to HIV care. Methods An expanded two-part referral form was developed to include additional variables and unique identifiers. The expanded form contained a corresponding number for matching the two-parts between testing and care. selleck kinase inhibitor Data were prospectively collected at 16 health facilities in the Magu District of Tanzania. Results The records of 1,275 unique people testing HIV positive were identified and included in our analysis. Of these, 1,200 (94.1%) responded on previous testing history, with 184 (15.3%) testing twice or more during the pilot, or having had a previous HIV positive test. Three-quarters (932; 73.1%) of persons were linked to care during the pilot timeframe. Health service provision in the facility carrying out the HIV test was the most important factor for linkage to care; poor linkage occurred in facilities where HIV care was not immediately available. Conclusions It is critical for persons newly diagnosed with HIV to be linked to care in a timely manner to maximize treatment effectiveness. Our findings show it is feasible to measure linkage to care using routinely collected data arising from an amended national HIV referral form. Our results illustrate the importance of utilizing individual-level data for measuring linkage to care, as repeat testing is common.

Healthcare-setting acquired infections are subject to substantial selection pressure and are frequently associated with drug resistance. As part of the microbiological surveillance of the Sanglah tertiary referral hospital in the island province of Bali, the distribution of bacterial pathogen and their relative susceptibilities were recorded over a 30 months period. This is the first such detailed study benchmarking the type and sensitivity of bacterial pathogens in a major tertiary referral hospital within Indonesia and it is hoped that it will lead to similar reports in the near future, while informing local and national antimicrobial stewardship policies.

Accurate heart rate (HR) assessment guides resuscitation interventions, thereby reducing morbidities and mortality. While existing HR assessment methods have several limitations, the Doppler ultrasound (Doppler-US) might be a promising alternative. We aimed to evaluate accuracy and optimal use of Doppler-US for HR assessments during neonatal asphyxia in a pre-clinical model. Design HR assessments were performed in 16 term newborn piglets that were anesthetized, intubated, and instrumented. Study I evaluated optimal transducer position, Study II compared aortic (AV) and pulmonary (PV) examination modes, and Study III examined accuracy during asphyxia, for HR assessment. Setting Experimental setting. Subjects Asphyxia-induced piglets. Interventions Study I Doppler-US (USCOM® 1A) HR was assessed on upper (A), middle (B), and lower (C) third of the sternum; study II Doppler-US HR was assessed using AV and PV examination modes; study III HR was assessed during asphyxia. Comparisons were made between Doppler-US and the clinical gold standard for HR assessments, electrocardiography (ECG). Measurements and Main Results Study I Mean (SD) Doppler-US HR at position A, B, and C showed no difference when compared to ECG HR. Study II The mean (SD) Doppler-US HR using AV and PV modes also showed no difference when compared to ECG HR. Study III Bland-Altman analysis revealed a mean difference (95% limits of agreement) between Doppler-US and ECG HR of 1.5 (-16 to 19) bpm. Additionally, motion artifacts produced false peaks and peak size was seen to decrease as bradycardia progressed. Conclusions HR assessment using Doppler-US during asphyxia is accurate but has limitations and must be further evaluated prior to clinical use. Doppler-US can be positioned along the sternum and use either AV or PV mode for accurate assessments in a piglet model of neonatal asphyxia.
