Patient safety and climate change
Our study highlights patient safety as a public health concern in the era of climate change. The German public appears to view climate change as harmful to patient safety. Our findings also show that it is necessary to carry out diagnoses focused on demographic and socioeconomic factors to determine which aspects should be strengthened through programs aimed at reducing patient safety risks associated with climate change
Patient Safety and the Covid-19 Pandemic in Germany
The coronavirus (COVID-19) has presented Germany with major challenges and has led to concerns about patient safety. We conducted an observational, population-based, nationwide, repeated cross-sectional survey on patient safety in Germany in 2019, 2020, and 2021. Each of the three samples consisted of 1000 randomly recruited adults. Self-reported data via computer-assisted telephone interviews were taken from TK Monitor of Patient Safety. Percept…
Risk factors for patient‐reported medical errors in eleven countries
Objectives The aim of this study was to identify common risk factors for patient‐reported medical errors across countries. In country‐level analyses, differences in risks associated with error between health care systems were investigated. The joint effects of risks on error‐reporting probability were modelled for hypothetical patients with different health care utilization patterns. Design Data from the Commonwealth Fund’s 2010 lnternational Sur…
Queer Quit
Background The prevalence of smoking is high among gay males. The need for culturally specific support has been acknowledged, but little is known about gay men’s perspectives on such adapted interventions. Objective To investigate smoking and intention to quit in gay smokers and to explore their attitudes towards a gay‐specific smoking cessation programme. Design Quantitative survey and focus groups. Setting and participants A total of 325 gay sm…
An integrated model of care to counter high incidence of HIV and sexually transmitted diseases in men who have sex with men – initial analysis of service utilizers in Zurich
Since its first months of activity, the service achieved high levels of recognition, acceptance and demand in the MSM community. Contrary to common concepts of "testing clinics", the Checkpoint service provides post-exposure prophylaxis, HIV and STI treatment, psychological support and counselling and general medical care. It thus follows a holistic approach to health in the MSM community with the particular aim to serve as a "door opener" betwee…
Working conditions and Work-Family Conflict in German hospital physicians
In our study, work interfering with family conflict (WIF) as part of Work-Family Conflict (WFC) was highly prevalent among German hospital physicians. Factors of work organisation as well as factors of interpersonal relations at work were identified as significant predictors for WIF. Some of these predictors are accessible to alteration by improving work organisation in hospitals
Preferences for disclosure
Improving patient–provider communications
Facilitating dialogue between service users, policy leads and health professionals is essential in any modern health-care system. In Germany, there has been little tradition in citizen involvement for health-care policy making and priority-setting and data on the general publics’ view on the health-care system are still very limited. Until recently, such data are mostly available through traditional public-opinion polling and often lack depth, me…
Resource allocation, social values and the Qaly
Most health economists agree that public preferences should play a major role in setting criteria for distributing scarce resources. The quality‐adjusted life year (QALY) is used as a preference‐based measure for the outcome of health‐care activities in health economic evaluative studies. Traditionally, health economists proposed maximizing the additional health gain in terms of QALYs so as to maximize social welfare. Evidence has grown however, …
