A self-administered questionnaire was used to collect data from a total of 350 employees representing 50% of physicians, nurses, pharmacists, lab technicians, administrative employees, and infection control coordinators of the Taif Children’s Hospital. Demographic information such as age, gender, and employment status was collected in the first section of the questionnaire. The second section assessed the participant’s knowledge of the hospital’s ESR and the last section assessed the impact of these safety practices on employees’ job performance. Data was analyzed using the Chi Square Test, Statistical Package for Social Sciences (Tukey Post Hoc Multiple comparisons and Anova). The results of the study indicated that there was a correlation between hospital safety and the performance of employees. The adherence of a hospital to ESR largely affects their job performance. Having standards and policies assure employees of their safety while at work thus increasing their morale which in return improves their performance.</p> 2023-01-13T00:00:00+00:00 Copyright (c) 2023 Journal of Medical Practice and Review https://everant.in/index.php/jmpr/article/view/75 Cord Blood Stem Cells: A New Hope for Treating Neonatal Hypoxic Ischemic Encephalopathy Induced by Gestational Diabetes Mellitus 2023-06-07T07:51:36+00:00 David Leung david.leung@cordlife.com Ho-Chuen Leung ronald.leung@cordlife.com Chin-Fung Yeung harryyeung@healthbaby.hk <p>Neonatal hypoxic ischemic encephalopathy (HIE) is a severe neurological condition that can cause long-term neurodevelopmental disabilities and is a significant cause of morbidity and mortality in neonates. Gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) is a risk factor for HIE, and affected infants are at increased risk of long-term neurodevelopmental deficits. Currently, there are limited treatment options for HIE. However, stem cell therapy has emerged as an encouraging approach for treating HIE. Cord blood stem cells (CBSCs) have been shown to have neuroprotective and regenerative properties and have been used in clinical trials for the treatment of HIE. CBSCs have the potential to regenerate damaged tissue in the brain, provide neuroprotection, and have a low risk of immune rejection. Additionally, CBSC transplantation is a safe and non-invasive procedure that has a lower risk of complications compared to other treatment modalities. The use of CBSCs for the treatment or management of neonatal HIE induced by GDM holds great promise for improving neurological outcomes and reducing long-term neurodevelopmental deficits. However, further studies are needed to confirm the safety and efficacy of CBSC transplantation and to establish the optimal timing, dose, and frequency of transplantation. Overall, CBSC transplantation represents a hopeful approach for the treatment or management of neonatal HIE induced by GDM.</p> 2023-06-30T00:00:00+00:00 Copyright (c) 2023 Journal of Medical Practice and Review https://everant.in/index.php/jmpr/article/view/575 Exploring Healthcare Professionals' Perceptions of the Role of Social Workers in Paediatric Hospitals at Al-Taif City 2023-11-22T09:53:01+00:00 Bader Salem Alshehri bdrs2008@hotmail.com Khalid Mohammed Al-Roqi altamimi414@gmail.com Majed Hammad Alnemari altamimi414@gmail.com Rayed Maqbool Alsiyali altamimi414@gmail.com Abdullah Jaber Althoiby altamimi414@gmail.com Maed Saad Alharthy altamimi414@gmail.com Mohammed Ebrahim Al Kudidi altamimi414@gmail.com <p><strong><em><u>Aim:</u></em></strong> To explore Healthcare Professionals' Perceptions of the Role of Social Workers in paediatric Hospitals at Al-Taif city. <strong><em><u>Methods:</u></em></strong> A questionnaire-based evaluation of stress and other correlating factors on young women of reproductive age. <strong><em><u>Results:</u></em></strong> From total 171 healthcare workers, the demographic data showed that with 35.1% aged from 36 to 45 years, and about 55% were male with a majority (62.6%) were married, about one third of them (34.5%) had a bachelor's degree, and 47.4% had over 10 years of experience, regarding job titles, the majority (42.1%) were nurses and 53.8% reported having enough to meet basic needs without saving any excess money, the results revealed that healthcare professionals perceive the level of assessment in the social worker's role in paediatric hospitals in Al-Taif City to be at a high level, with a mean score of 3.88, while the responses regarding intervention in the social work, the results revealed that healthcare professionals perceive the level of intervention in the social worker's role in paediatric hospitals in Al-Taif City to be at a high level, with a mean score of 3.92, the overall scale showed significant differences based on gender (t = 2.272, P-value = 0.027), education (F= 3.390, P-value = 0.019), experience (F= 6.370, P-value &lt; 0.001), job title (F= 4.722, P-value &lt; 0.001), and income (F= 7509, P-value &lt; 0.001). Again, there were no significant differences based on age and marital status. <strong><em><u>Discussion:</u></em></strong> The study's results revealed that healthcare professionals regard the social worker's position to be of high level, as evidenced by a mean score of 3.92. The assessment level was found to have a high rating, achieving a score of 3.88. Similarly, the intervention level was also assessed as high, with a mean score of 3.93. There existed the assessment level shown notable variations depending on factors such as education, experience, job title, and income. Nevertheless, no statistically significant disparities were observed with regards to age, gender, and marital status. Regarding intervention, there were notable variations observed in relation to gender, marital status, educational attainment, professional experience, job position, and income. However, no significant disparities were found based on age. The observed variations in the overall scale were found to be statistically significant in relation to factors such as sex, education, experience, job title, and salary. However, no statistically significant changes were observed based on age and marital status. <strong><em><u>Conclusion:</u></em></strong> It was concluded that healthcare professionals perceive the role of the social worker to be highly esteemed.
