Healthcare adjustments and concerns: a qualitative study exploring the perspectives of healthcare providers and administrative staff during the COVID-19 pandemic in Saudi Arabia.

Background: Healthcare systems have modified their strategies to manage their staff, supplies, and space to deal systematically with the COVID-19 pandemic. This research aimed to explore the nature of hospital adjustments and the concerns of healthcare providers and administrative staff working in Governmental and private hospitals throughout the Qassim Region of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia (KSA) during the pandemic. Methods: A qualitative phenomenological study using semi-structured in-depth interviews were conducted with 75 purposively selected healthcare providers and administrative staff working at three main hospitals in the Qassim Region, KSA. The maximum variation sampling technique was utilized. Recruitment of participants was continued until data saturation was reached. All interviews were audiotaped, transcribed verbatim, and analyzed thematically. Results: Four core themes were identified in this paper: (1) changes in hospital policy and procedures, (2) workforce management, (3) the well-being of the workforce, and (4) apprehensions and expectations of the workforce. The participants showed satisfaction with timely administrative decisions and new policies during the COVID-19 pandemic. Furthermore, the psychological health of healthcare professionals was affected more than their physical state. Finally, the providers perceived the emergence of multiple concerns in the coming months. Conclusion: Although healthcare providers were initially overwhelmed, they gradually accepted new administrative policies. Numerous innovative interventions effectively reduced their physical workload and increased their productivity, but they remained significantly affected by a wide range of psychological disorders, with a high prevalence of obsessive-compulsive disorder. There were some concerns about the new SARS-CoV-2 variant, but the majority were optimistic.

Mirtazapine.

Mirtazapine is one of antidepression which is used mainly in the treatment of depression, moreover, it is sometimes used in the treatment of anxiety disorders, insomnia, nausea, and vomiting, and to produce weight gain when desirable. The action of mirtazapine is an antagonist of certain adrenergic and serotonin receptors, and, furthermore, the drug is used strong as antihistamine, and it is occasionally defined as a noradrenergic and specific serotonergic antidepressant (NaSSA). The comprehensive profile of mirtazapine gives more detailed information about nomenclature, formulae, elemental analysis, and appearance. In addition, the numerous methods of drug synthesis are summarized. Also the profile covers the physicochemical properties as: the value of pKa, drug solubility, melting point, X-ray powder diffraction, and analysis methods for example: (compendial, electrochemical, spectroscopic, and method of chromatographic). Besides that, the profile covered pharmacological profile and clinical pharmacokinetics in subtitle's (absorption, distribution, metabolism, and elimination). About 100 references were given as a proof of the above-mentioned studies.
