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.

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.

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).
