RESUMO
Objective:To evaluate the reliability and validity of a questionnaire assessing the leadership qualities of primary healthcare institution managers, and to further clarify the current state of leadership development among management teams of community health service centers in Shanghai.Methods:The study was a cross-sectional survey. It was conducted from August to December 2021, and used a stratified sampling method. Using a self-developed questionnaire for primary healthcare institution managers, we surveyed 279 individuals from 10 community health service centers in Shanghai, including management teams, middle-level cadres, general practitioners, and staff from health administrative departments in their respective districts. Leadership qualities were evaluated on five dimensions: inspiration, decisiveness, control, influence, and foresight. Cronbach′s α coefficient and split half coefficient were used to analyze the reliability of the questionnaire, and confirmatory factor analysis was used to assess the structural validity of the scale.Results:The overall Cronbach′s α reliability of the questionnaire for the comprehensive management of community health service centers was 0.96, and the Spearman-Brown split-half coefficient was 0.94. The validity analysis yielded a KMO value of 0.975, the RMSEA for factor analysis was 0.085, and the adaptation indexes all met the model adaptation conditions. Of the 279 participants, 174 were female (62.4%), 257 held a mid-level or higher professional title (92.1%). The overall leadership score of the community health service center management teams was (4.43±0.59), with the dimensions ranked from highest to lowest as follows: inspiration (4.52±0.55), decisiveness (4.46±0.62), control (4.44±0.60), influence (4.42±0.63), and foresight (4.32±0.69). The foresight score was significantly lower than the other four dimensions (all P<0.05). Conclusions:The questionnaire used to assess the leadership qualities of primary healthcare institution managers is reliable and valid. The development of leadership qualities among management teams of community health service centers in Shanghai is unbalanced, with foresight being the weakest dimension.
RESUMO
Objective:To analyze the trend and hot spots of research on multimorbidity.Methods:The Chinese and English literature in databases of CNKI, Wanfang data and Web of science from inception to July 2022 were retrieved using "multimorbidity" and "multiple chronic conditions" as the search terms. The scientific knowledge mapping software VOSviewer was used to analyze the co-occurrence network of scientific knowledge from the aspects of countries, Chinese and English keywords,burst terms and existing research results; and the status quo and hot trends of studies on multimorbidity at home and abroad were summarized and compared.Results:A total of 251 Chinese publications and 6 351 English publications were included. From the perspective of research trends, the overall trend of domestic and international publications showed a fluctuating upward trend in general, but the pace of development was different. The cooperation network represented by the United States, England, Canada, China, Japan, Australia and other countries was the largest regional cooperation network. Germany, the Netherlands, the United States, Australia and other countries were the first regions to carry out studies on multimorbidity. Studies on multimorbidity in China mainly focused on three topics: diagnosis, treatment and care of multimorbidity, common disease management of multimorbidity, and research methods of multimorbidity. The English literature mainly focused on the clustering of three topics: multi-disease co-diagnosis and care research, multi-disease co-management model research, and multimorbidity related research. The analysis of burst terms indicated the research focus and trend change in different time periods. The results of the outburst word analysis showed that the recent research hotspots of multimorbidity were public health, machine learning, geriatric medicine and so on.Conclusions:The number of studies on the multimorbidity is rapidly increasing both domestically and internationally, and related research in China is still in the early stages of development. In terms of research hotspots, the research of multimorbidity has gradually shifted from phenomenon description to topics such as medical services and research methods of multimorbidity.
RESUMO
Mini health technology assessment (Mini-HTA) was developed from traditional HTA,based on the hospital needs.It is a very important decision making method and reference tool for the hospital policy makers.Currently there is no report of using Mini-HTA ease on introducing new equipment in China.Present paper introduces the Mini-HTA to provide reference for others hospitals in China.
RESUMO
This article first elaborates the connotation of research integrity,and analyzes the causes of the problems,then enumerates the typical examples of research misconduct.Based on those analyses,we explored possible solutions to prevent such problems.Relevant departments should consummate relevant law and regulations to improve the system,to avoid the emergence of research integrity problems,guarantee high quality of research.
