Employee job satisfaction and its relationship with health and quality of life has been an issue of major concern over the past decades. Nurses experience difficult working conditions that affect their job satisfaction, health, and quality of life. A cross-sectional study was undertaken in three general hospitals and their respective health centers. Stratified random sampling by level of education was used, and 508 nurses and nursing assistants were included. A self-administered anonymous questionnaire, which included the Measure of Job Satisfaction, the 36-item Short Form Health Survey, as well as demographic details, education, and work conditions data, was used. Greek nurses were found to be dissatisfied with their job according to the total score of the job satisfaction scale, although personal satisfaction and satisfaction with support had had higher scores. Their general health was reported as average, because of physical and mental health problems, low vitality, low energy, and increased physical pain. Multivariate linear regression analysis revealed that males and those wishing to stay in the job had higher physical and mental health. Increased job satisfaction was related to increased physical and mental health. Although Greek nurses are not satisfied with their work, those with high levels of job satisfaction had better health-related quality of life. The findings suggest that improvement of the work environment would contribute to a healthier and more satisfied nursing workforce.

ABSTRACT The study’s aim was to evaluate the agreement between patients’ and nurses’ ratings of patients’ health-related quality of life (HRQoL) and to identify factors that affect their level of agreement. A total of 150 home health care cancer patients from Greece and all nurses (N = 5) who worked in the home health care units completed the European Organization for Research and Treatment of Cancer Quality of Life Questionnaire–Core 30 (EORTC QLQ-C30). Intraclass correlation coefficients varied between .45 and .87, indicating a moderate to excellent agreement. Median absolute difference on QLQ-C30 scores ranged from 0.00 to 16.66 points on the 0 to 100 scale. Cohen’s d varied between −0.15 and 0.59. Nurses’ higher educational level was associated with greater agreement (p = .05). Nurses assessed lower the QoL of patients who were completely disabled than the patients themselves did (p = .005). Our findings suggest that Greek home health care nurses estimate patients’ QoL in a reliable and valid way.

In the last years a major emphasis is laid on the Allogeneic Transplantation of Blood Stem Cells from the Umbilical Cord Blood with a simultaneous development of Umbilical Cord Blood bank. The attitude and knowledge of Health Professionals is vital to the success of this attempt as it affects significantly the promotion of Umbilical Cord Blood donation. The aim of present study is the examination of Health Professionals' knowledge and attitudes towards Umbilical Cord Blood in Greece. The study was conducted from April 25th 2012 to May 7th 2012. The sample consisted of 109 Health Professionals from 3 provincial hospitals and 2 hospitals in Thessaloniki. In order to collect the data, a questionnaire was used. The questionnaire was designed by the researcher and a group of experts to serve the mission of the present study. From the 130 questionnaires sent, 109 were completely answered (response rate 84%). Of those who participated to the research, 23.9% were physicians, 34.9% were ...

This study investigated the main factors affecting physicians' attitudes toward the implementation of international classification systems of diseases. A cross-sectional study was carried out during September 2010. The sample consisted of 158 physicians older than 24 years who were working in a public hospital and a private hospital in central Greece. A questionnaire was drawn up based on the relevant literature. Results indicated that younger physicians and those who worked in the public hospital were most familiar with classification systems. Female physicians and specialists with more than 10 years of experience (since qualifying as a specialist) were not particularly familiar with these systems (58 percent and 56 percent, respectively). Both having a master's degree and attending conferences or seminars had a remarkable impact on knowledge of these systems. Almost all physicians (98 percent) holding a master's degree or a PhD believed that these systems contribute to...

The purpose of this study was to investigate risk factors for occupational accidents and the relationship between perceived and actual risk of occupational accidents in Greek soldiers. A case-control study was conducted of military personnel in Evros county in Greece. Cases (n = 250) were defined as enlisted personnel having had an accident at work and the control series (n = 300) comprised of a simple random sample, stratified by age from the army population. Conscripted soldiers (OR = 3.8, 2.21 to 6.58, p < 0.001) and professional soldiers (OR = 2.2, 1.28-3.75, p = 0.004) had higher frequency of occurrence of accidents in comparison to army officers. The degree of risk perception due to electrical hazards (OR = 2.8, 1.81-4.18, p < 0.001), lighting (OR = 2.6, 1.74-3.97, p < 0.001), falls (OR = 2.9, 1.61-5.13, p < 0.001) and inadequate safety signs (OR = 3.3, 1.99-5.49, p < 0.001) were associated with increased occurrence of accident. Regression analysis demonstrated a significant relationship between the accident and the age, time of service in the present unit, specialty, level of education, years of service and the overall military training. This study highlights the increased likelihood of occupational accidents among military personnel with lower rank and lower level of education, less working experience (fewer years of service) and less military training (conscripted and professional soldiers). The existence of occupational accidents in the workplace, civilian or military, creates the need for the adoption of policies for the protection of workers and the organization of occupational preventive services.

ABSTRACT The aim of this study was the investigation of the dietary habits of Albanian immigrants living in Greece for at least 3 years in comparison to those living in Albania permanently. The study was designed as a comparative cross-sectional one. The sample consisted of 638 persons, of whom 299 were living in Greece and 339 were permanently living in Albania. Dietary habits were recorded by a quantitative questionnaire, including all food categories that have been used for the estimation of the Mediterranean Diet Score (MDS). Demographic information, data on education, work and income were recorded. Data collection took place in both Greece and Albania by means of a personal interview. The mean MDS was 32 (±4.2) and 30.3 (±4.5) for Albanian immigrants in Greece and residents of Albania, respectively, (p < 0.001). Bivariate analysis identified that the participants with higher education level, more physical activity, monthly family income ≥€1,500, those with 3–7 meals per day, those with 5–7 breakfasts a week, employed and ex-smokers displayed higher MDS. In the multivariate linear regression analysis, residents of Greece had higher MDS than residents of Albania. Also, those with higher education level, those with more physical activity, those with 3–7 meals per day and those employed had higher MDS. The findings of this study showed that dietary habits of Albanian immigrants in Greece were improved compared to those of the Albanians living in their home country.

Conflict among health-care personnel has been identified as an issue within health-care settings around the world. To investigate the existence and management of conflict among health-care personnel in public hospitals in Cyprus; to assess the factors leading to conflict among staff members; to evaluate the consequences of conflict arising; and to consider the management strategies. A self-administered questionnaire was completed by a random sample of 1037 health-care professionals in all (seven) state-run hospitals in Cyprus in 2008. Mean age of respondents was 41 years, and 75% were female. Sixty-four per cent of respondents reported that they had never been informed about conflict management strategies, with physicians being the least informed as the relative percentage was 79.8% (χ(2) = 33, P < 0.001). Sixty per cent of health-care professionals reported conflict at work with other health-care personnel one to five times per week, and 37% of the respondents stated that they devote 90 min (mean value) from work during their shift in conflict resolution, meaning that managing conflicts may absorb 19% of working time daily. The majority of respondents agreed that organizational problems and communication gaps were the main issues creating conflict. Avoidance and collaboration were the preferable strategies for conflict resolution, used by 36.6% and 37.5% of the respondents, respectively.   Better communication, fair management practices and clear job descriptions and expectations may be needed in order to facilitate change and reverse the negative atmosphere that exists. Further education in conflict management for physicians, nurses and their managers may also be needed.

It is proven that early admission to hospital contributes significantly to the successful management of acute myocardial infarction (AMI). This study aimed to examine the factors associated with delayed hospital arrival among patients with AMI. A cross-sectional study among 477 AMI patients was conducted during a 2-year period in two large tertiary hospitals in Greece. Structured face-to-face interviews were conducted and information regarding their socio-demographic characteristics, medical history and factors that might be correlated with delayed hospital arrival were collected. The main factors that were found to be correlated with delayed hospital arrival among AMI patients were the absence of companion/attendant/escort present during the AMI [odds ratio (OR) 2.1, 95% confidence interval (CI) 0.98-4.4, P = 0.049], previous medical history of diabetes mellitus (OR 3.4, CI 1.6-7.2, P = 0.002), absence of dyspepsia (OR 9.2, CI 3.6-23.3, P < 0.001) and nausea/vomiting symptoms (OR 16.9, CI 4.1-69.1, P < 0.001), and also being at a distance of more than 10 km from the hospital (OR 19.6, CI 5.4-70.6, P < 0.001). A number of factors that might delay hospital arrival among patients with AMI should be taken into account in healthcare service planning. Health policy actions that will improve the accessibility to healthcare services, the restructuring of the Greek primary healthcare system and the provision of effective patient education by nurses could reduce the pre-hospital delay. The study was conducted in two hospitals which limits the generalization of the findings. Also, the onset of AMI symptoms relied on self-report by the patients.

Three methods of esophagoscopy are available until now: sedated conventional endoscopy, unsedated ultrathin endoscopy, and esophageal capsule endoscopy. The three methods carry comparable diagnostic accuracy and different complication rates. Although all of them have been found well accepted from patients, no comparative study comprising the three techniques has been published. The aim of this study was to compare the three methods of esophagoscopy regarding tolerability, satisfaction, and acceptance. Twenty patients with large esophageal varices and 10 with gastroesophageal reflux disease were prospectively included. All patients underwent consecutively sedated conventional endoscopy, unsedated ultrathin endoscopy, and esophageal capsule endoscopy. After each procedure, patients completed a seven-item questionnaire. The total positive attitude of patients toward all methods was high. However, statistical analysis revealed the following differences in favor of esophageal capsule endoscopy: (i) total positive attitude has been found higher (chi(2)= 18.2, df = 2, P= 0.00), (ii) less patients felt pain (chi(2)= 6.9, df = 2, P= 0.03) and discomfort (chi(2)= 22.1, df = 2, P= 0.00), (iii) less patients experienced difficulty (chi(2)= 13.7, df = 2, P= 0.01), and (iv) more patients were willing to undergo esophageal capsule endoscopy in the future (chi(2)= 12.1, df = 2, P= 0.002). Esophageal capsule endoscopy was characterized by a more positive general attitude and caused less pain and discomfort. Sedated conventional endoscopy has been found more difficult. More patients would repeat esophageal capsule endoscopy in the future. Patients' total position for all three available techniques for esophageal endoscopy was excellent and renders the observed advantage of esophageal capsule endoscopy over both sedated conventional and unsedated ultrathin endoscopy a statistical finding without a real clinical benefit.

Επί πλέον, η σύγκριση των μετρήσεων της 24ωρης καταγραφής της αρτηριακής πίεσης με τις μετρήσεις στο ιατρείο και τις μετρή-σεις κατ' οίκον. ΥΛΙΚΟ-ΜΕΘΟΔΟΣ Διεξήχθη μια συγχρονική μελέτη στο ιατρείο υπέρτασης του Γενικού Νοσοκομείου Λεμεσού. Ο μελετώμενος πληθυσμός αποτελείτο από 102 ασθενείς και η συλλογή των δεδομένων πραγματοποιή-θηκε από τον Νοέμβριο του 2013 έως τον Απρίλιο του 2014. Καταχωρήθηκε η αρτηριακή πίεση των ασθενών μέσω της 24ωρης καταγραφής, των μετρήσεων κατ' οίκον και των μετρήσεων στο ιατρείο. Η ικανοποίηση των ασθενών από την 24ωρη καταγραφή της αρτηριακής πίεσης εκτιμήθηκε με 13 ερωτήσεις. Εκτιμήθηκε η ευαισθησία και η ειδικότητα των μετρήσεων κατ' οίκον και των μετρήσεων στο ιατρείο. ΑΠΟΤΕΛΕΣΜΑΤΑ Η συνολική ικανοποίηση των ασθενών από την 24ωρη μέτρηση της αρτηριακής πίεσης ήταν αρκετά υψηλή. Το 62% των ασθενών δήλωσαν ότι προτιμούν την 24ωρη καταγραφή έναντι των μετρήσεων κατ' οίκον για επανεκτίμηση της αρτηριακής τους πίεσης. Η μέση συστολική πίεση στο ιατρείο ήταν στατιστικώς σημαντικά μεγαλύτερη σε σχέση με τη μέση συστολική πίεση της 24ωρης καταγραφής (146,4 mmHg έναντι 141,1 mmHg, p<0,001, διαφορά μέσων τιμών=5,3, 95% διάστημα εμπιστοσύνης [ΔΕ]: 2,4–8,2). Η μέση διαστολική πίεση στο ιατρείο δεν διέφερε στατιστικώς σημαντικά σε σχέση με τη μέση διαστολική πίεση στην 24ωρη καταγραφή (87,1 mmHg έναντι 85,9 mmHg, p=0,3, διαφορά μέσων τιμών=1,2, 95% ΔΕ:-0,8–3,0). Η ευαισθησία των μετρήσεων στο ιατρείο ήταν 68,7% και η ειδικότητα ήταν 42,1%, ενώ οι αντίστοιχες τιμές στην περίπτωση των μετρή-σεων κατ' οίκον ήταν 60% και 60%. ΣΥΜΠΕΡΑΣΜΑΤΑ Οι ασθενείς της παρούσας μελέτης προτιμούσαν την 24ωρη καταγραφή της αρτηριακής πίεσης έναντι των μετρήσεων κατ' οίκον. Οι μετρήσεις στο ιατρείο και οι μετρήσεις κατ' οίκον δεν είναι επαρκείς για τη διάγνωση της αρτηριακής υπέρτασης αλλά ούτε και για τον αποκλεισμό της, καθώς έχουν χαμηλή ευαισθησία και ειδικότητα, σε σχέση με την 24ωρη καταγραφή. Για τον λόγο αυτόν, η 24ωρη καταγραφή μπορεί να αποτελέσει μια ακόμη αξιόπιστη και έγκυρη διαγνωστική επιλογή.

Immigrants have always been a very vulnerable group with severe inequalities in the access and utilisation of health services. The aim of this study was to investigate the conditions of access and utilization of health services from domestic helpers in Cyprus. A cross-sectional study with 625 domestic helpers was carried out during October 2010-April 2011. The sampling method was snowball sampling. Statistical analysis included x(2) test, x(2) trend test, Mann-Whitney test, t-test and multivariate logistic regression analysis. The main reasons of health service utilization were blood tests, short-term illnesses and injuries/poisonings. Eighteen percent of domestic helpers reported a need for health services, which was not met. Ten percent responded that there was a need for pharmaceuticals that remained unmet. Sixty-two percent reported that their first action in case of a health problem is seeking advice and assistance from their employer. After adjustment, only increased length of...

Abstract
INTRODUCTION: Tissue and organ transplantation
is one of the most important evolutions in
health sciences, helping end stage patients to
maintain alive and improve their quality of life.
AIM: The aim of the study was to investigate the
ICU nurses attitude and knowledge toward organ
donation and transplantation.
METHODS: A cross-sectional study was implemented
to all ICU nurses (n=210) of the public
hospitals of the 6th Health Authority of Greece. A
standardized questionnaire with four parts was
distributed to the participants. At the first part,
participants complete their demographics and
at the second their knowledge toward organ
donation (score in a scale 0-100). The third and
fourth parts of the questionnaire refer to nurses’
experience toward organ donation and their
intention for organ donation, respectively. One
hundred fifty eight completed questionnaires
were collected and analyzed (response rate was
75.2%). The study was conducted from September
1st to December 31 2012. The used statistical
methods were t-test, x2-test, Pearson’s correlation
coefficient and multiple linear regression. The significance
level was set equal to 0.05 and the data
analysis was performed with the SPSS 19.0.
RESULTS: In the field of knowledge regarding
organ donation, nurses scored 73.6 (standard
deviation=14.9). Sixty eight per cent of the respondents
answered positively to the question
referring to their intention to become an organ
donor. The major factors they would become
organ donors, were helping their fellow human
beings (97.1%) and saving a human life, according
to their religious beliefs (91.4%). According
to the results of the multiple linear regression
analysis, the employment at an organ transplantation
hospital (p<0.001) and the age were
statistically correlated to the knowledge score
(p=0.02). Media (64.6%), congresses (60.1%) and
scientific journals (52.5%) were the major sources
of knowledge toward organ donation and
transplantation.
CONCLUSIONS: Although nurses’ knowledge
and attitude toward organ donation and transplantation
were positive, however the percentage
is being evaluated as low as ICU nurses can
play a defining role at organ donation increase
through their daily contact with the relatives of
a potential organ donor. The nurses’ educational
gap toward organ donation and transplantation
came up. Their education must be incorporated
in the health policy planning for the rising of organ
transplantation rates.
KEYWORDS: Knowledge, organ donation, transplantation,

OBJECTIVE To investigate the opinions of specialist physicians about the staffing of the health services in remote
areas with physicians and recruitment and retention incentives in these services. METHOD A cross sectional study
was conducted. The study population consisted of the physicians working in hospitals, hospitals-health centers and
health centers of the Peloponnese district. Of the 256 questionnaires that were sent, 194 were returned completed
(response rate 75.6%). RESULTS The majority of participants (97.4%) considered that there is deficient medical staffing
of the remote health services. Effective incentives to confront this deficiency were considered to be: preference
for the specific healthcare organization (36.1%), monetary incentives (48.5%), career development (35.6%) and educational
incentives (16.5%). The effectiveness of the legislated incentives was rated by 66% of participants as poor,
by 28.4% as moderate and by 5.7% as good. The quality of life in the rural areas and recognition by the local population
(52%), rural background (32.5%) and monetary incentives (23.2%) were factors that had influenced the recruitment
of physicians to work in their current healthcare organizations. The good relationships with the local population
(38.7%), the interest of the work (31.4%) and the work environment (26.3%) were the three most important
factors influencing the physicians’ continuation in their current healthcare organizations. The only characteristic that
correlated with physician satisfaction was the specialty (p=0.02) and specifically physicians with a laboratory specialty
indicated greater satisfaction than others. CONCLUSIONS The provision of incentives constitutes a catalytic
factor in the recruitment and retention of physicians in remote areas. Although the current legislation includes incentives,
their revision and renewal are considered necessary within the framework of a health policy for health services
staffing of remote areas.

Εισαγωγή: Η διαδερμική εμφύτευση αορτικής βαλβίδας (TAVI) αποτελεί την πλέον σύγχρονη, ελάχιστα επεμβατική, μέθοδο θεραπείας της στένωσης της αορτικής βαλβίδας..
Σκοπός: Να εκτιμηθεί στην Κύπρο η ποιότητα ζωής στην κοινότητα των ασθενών που έχουν υποβληθεί σε TAVI και να διερευνηθούν πιθανοί προσδιοριστές της ποιότητας αυτής.
Μέθοδος: Συγχρονική μελέτη (Φεβρουάριος-Απρίλιος 2016). Ο μελετώμενος πληθυσμός αποτελούνταν από 70 ασθενείς με TAVI και 85 υγιή άτομα. Χρησιμοποιήθηκε το ερωτηματολόγιο SF12-v2, Ελληνική έκδοση.
Αποτελέσματα: Μέση ηλικία ασθενών: 79,7 έτη, μέση ηλικία υγιών: 72,8 έτη. Οι υγιείς είχαν στατιστικά σημαντικά καλύτερη ποιότητα ζωής σε σχέση με τους ασθενείς  στην κλίμακα σωματικού ρόλου, στην κλίμακα συναισθηματικού ρόλου και στην συνοπτική κλίμακα σωματικής υγείας. Οι ασθενείς είχαν στατιστικά σημαντικά μεγαλύτερη βαθμολογία στην κλίμακα κοινωνικής λειτουργικότητας σε σχέση με τους υγιείς. Συγκεκριμένα, στις κλίμακες κοινωνικής λειτουργικότητας και ζωτικότητας οι ασθενείς είχαν τιμές >50 (καλύτερη ποιότητα ζωής από τον μέσο όρο), ενώ στην κλίμακα γενικής υγείας, στην κλίμακα ψυχικής υγείας και στην συνοπτική κλίμακα ψυχικής υγείας είχαν τιμές οριακά μικρότερες από 50 (47 έως 47,5) Στις υπόλοιπες 5 από τις 10 κλίμακες του SF-12v2 είχαν τιμές 38,6 έως 44,7.
Συμπεράσματα: Η ποιότητα ζωής των ασθενών δεν ήταν κλινικά σημαντικά χειρότερη από αυτή των υγιών, γεγονός που δείχνει την αποτελεσματικότητα της μεθόδου, καθώς και την ποιότητα της σχετικής υπηρεσίας του Γενικού Νοσοκομείου Λευκωσίας στην Κύπρο.
