Unsafe Transfusion Practices Expose Patients To The Risk Of Adverse Transfusion Reactions And Infection Transmission. Values, Beliefs, Attitudes, And Behaviours Shared Among Organisation Members Contribute To The Culture Of Patient Safety And In The Workplace. A Positive Safety Culture Enhances Organisation Safety Outcomes. Many Countries Focus Mainly On Clinical Staff Dealing With Direct Patient Care When Dealing With Patient Safety Issues. This Study Aims To Assess Patient Safety Culture Among Medical Laboratory Technologists (MLTs) In Transfusion Medicine Services In Public Hospitals. This Was A Cross-sectional Study That Was Conducted From October Until November 2020 In All Public Hospitals In Malaysia. The Validated Bilingual Version Of The Hospital Survey On Patient Safety Culture (HSOPSC) Was Used. The Inclusion Criteria Were All MLTs In All Public Hospitals Involved In Transfusion Medicine Services In Their Daily Work And During On-calls. MLTs Who Were Only Involved With Mobile Support Blood Banks Were Excluded. Universal Sampling Was Applied.
The Current Information On Air Pollution May Not Be Dependable For Health Risk, As There Are Limitations In Terms Of The Spatial And Temporal Resolutions Of The CAQMS. Initially, The Lack Of Ground-based Monitoring Stations In Malaysia Poses A Significant Challenge To Effectively Monitoring Air Quality On A Regional Scale. In An Effort To Address This Issue, This Study Is Currently Underway To Enhance Air Quality Parameter Estimates. This Study Integrates Atmospheric And Meteorological Data, Advanced Statistical Methodologies, And Big Data Analytics To Ensure Accurate Estimations Of Air Pollutant Concentrations. The Resulting Projections Will Encompass The Extended Klang Valley Region, Which Includes Selangor, Kuala Lumpur, Putrajaya, And Negeri Sembilan. The Ultimate Objective Is To Develop A Model That Can Be Applied To Cover The Entirety Of The Country, Thereby Improving Air Quality And Safeguarding Public Health. This Study Employed Advanced Statistical Analysis And Air Modelling Techniques To Provide Accurate Estimates Of PM2.5 Concentrations In The Greater Klang Valley Region. The MAQS Readings Indicated A High Level Of Precision With R2 Values Ranging From 0.7 To 0.9, Which Suggests That The Instrument Is Reliable And Accurate In Detecting PM2.5 Concentrations. The IDW Interpolation Result Demonstrated The Distribution Of PM2.5 Concentration Highest Mostly In Klang, Petaling And Kuala Lumpur Throughout This Study. On Another Note, Gombak, Hulu Langat And Seremban Depicted High PM2.5 Concentrations During July, August And September. According To The OLS Model, Temperature And Relative Humidity Were Significantly Associated With Estimating PM2.5 Concentration For The Whole Greater Klang Valley. The Coefficients Estimate Between All Models For Each District Explicitly Closest To Each Other. Therefore, It Can Be Inferred That One Best-fit Model Can Represent The Entire Greater Klang Valley.
Developed By The Global Burden Of Disease (GBD) Study, Burden Of Disease Is A Summary Measure Of Population Health. The Overall Burden Of Disease, Measured In DALY, Combines The Potential Years Of Life Lost (YLL) Due To Premature Death And The Years Lost Due To Disability (YLD), An Equivalent Of Potential Healthy Years Lost Due To Poor Health, Illness Or Disability. The Present Study Aims To Provide A Comprehensive Assessment Of Premature Mortality And Morbidity (non-fatal Health Outcomes) Attributable To Diseases And Injuries By Age And Sex Specific For 2015 Until 2017. Therefore, The Objectives Can Be Specified As Follow: 1. To Calculate The Burden Of Premature Mortality (YLLs) By Age And Gender In Malaysia For 2015 Until 2017. 2. To Calculated The Burden Of Morbidity (YLDs) By Age And Gender In Malaysia For 2015 Until 2017. 3. To Calculate The Disability Adjusted Life Years (DALYs) By Age And Gender In Malaysia For 2015 Until 2017. The Study Used Secondary Data Available For Estimating The Burden Of Diseases. The Data Selected Range From 2015 Until 2017, Involving Both Mortality And Morbidity Data. The Data Where Then Estimated Into The Burden Analysis For Each Diseases And Conditions. The Outcome Of This Study Was To Estimate The Leading Cause Of Death And Burden Of Disease And Injury By Gender And Age-specific In Global Burden Of Disease Format. All The Findings Will Be Used By The Researchers In NIH, IKN, DOSM And MOH HQ For Research Purposes, Policy Driven Programs, And Financial Budgeting In Healthcare.
The 2012 Malaysia GSHS Was Conducted From 23 February To 26 April 2012 Involving Form 1 To 5 Students From 234 Schools Throughout Malaysia. The Survey Used A Two-stage Cluster Sampling Design. The Objectives Of This Study Were To Determine The Prevalence Of Health-related Behaviours, Risky Behaviours And Protective Factors Among Secondary School Students In Malaysia. The Survey Was Administered Using A Self-administered Questionnaire.
National Health And Morbidity Survey (NHMS) 2018: Elderly Health Was Part Of NHMS V (2015-2018). The Objective Of This Survey Was To Provide Health Related Community-based Data And Information To The Ministry Of Health To Review Health Priorities, Program Strategies And Activities, And To Plan For The Allocation Of Resources For Pre-elderly And Elderly Health Care Services. This Survey Was Conducted As A Nation-wide Community-based Survey Targeting Elderly Aged 60 Years Or More And Pre-elderly Aged 50 To 59 Years. Data Was Collected Via Face To-face Interview At Respondent’s Homes Using Mobile Devices With Various Assessments Done Based On Topics. A Total Of 5,636 Living Quarters Were Approached With 7,117 Respondents Successfully Interviewed.
Two Main Scopes Will Be Included In The Survey. Scopes In The 2012 Survey Will Be Repeated And An Additional Scope On Oral Health Will Be Included 1. The Global School Health Survey (GSHS) GSHS Surveillance Project Designed By The World Health Organisation To Help Countries To Measure And Assess The Behavioural Risk Factors And Protective Factors In 10 Key Areas Among Young People Aged 13 To 17 Years (form 1 To 5). The GSHS Is A Relatively Low-cost School-based Survey Which Uses A Self-administered Questionnaire To Obtain Data On Young People's Health Behaviour And Protective Factors Related To The Leading Causes Of Morbidity And Mortality Among Children And Adults Worldwide. As In The Previous Survey, Additional Modules On Mental Health To Cover Depression, Anxiety And Stress Will Be Included The Survey. 2. National School-Based Nutrition Survey The National School-Based Nutrition Survey Consisted Of A Few Nutrition-related Components, Including Nutritional Status, Meal Pattern, Physical Activity, Behaviour Modification, Supplement Intake, Food Frequency Intake, And 24-hour Dietary Recall. The Survey Will Be Targeted At Students Aged 10 To 17 Years (standard 4 To Form 5).
