We followed mean post-operative length of stay and survival at 30 days, one year and five years. The variables under study were sex, age, type of prosthesis, complexity, hospital, cost of the valve, date of intervention, discharge and exitus if present. A bivariate and a multivariate analysis were performed.Results The two hospitals have baseline characteristics with no significant differences. One of the hospitals had a higher mean unit price, in both biological (96%) and mechanical prostheses (11%) (p1); this higher mortality did not reach statistical significance in the multivariate analysis.In both hospitals, older age was associated with lower survival at one year (HR = 1.299 CI = 1.035–1.630) and at five years (HR = 1.228, 95%CI = 1.023–1.476). Greater complexity is associated with lower survival in all three periods.Conclusions Higher costs for open aortic heart valves does not lead to better survival outcomes. There is room for improvement in hospital management of these resources.KEYWORDS: Heart valve prosthesiscardiac surgerysutureless bioprosthesissurvival ratecost analysis Disclosure statementNo potential conflict of interest was reported by the author(s).Additional informationFundingThe author(s) reported there is no funding associated with the work featured in this article.Notes on contributorsRaquel Vázquez-MourelleRaquel Vázquez-Mourelle is a doctor in epidemiology and public healh and deputy directorate general in hospital management of Galician Health Service (Servicio Gallego de Salud- SERGAS), Spain.Gonzalo Rivas CostaGonzalo Rivas-Costa is the head of hospital management service of Galician Health Service (Servicio Gallego de Salud- SERGAS), Spain.Eduardo Carracedo-MartínezEduardo Carracedo-Martínez is a PhD epidemiology and public healh and a comunity pharmacist in Hospital of Santiago de Compostela (Servicio Gallego de Salud- SERGAS), Spain.Carmen Canedo RomeroCarmen Canedo Romero is the health proffesionals (doctors) with expertise in hospital care management of the Galician Health Service (Servicio Gallego de Salud- SERGAS), Spain.Jose Antonio Bravo RicoyJosé Antonio Bravo Ricoy is the health proffesionals (doctors) with expertise in hospital care management of the Galician Health Service (Servicio Gallego de Salud- SERGAS), Spain.","PeriodicalId":46911,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Healthcare Management","volume":"52 8","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-11-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135092747","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, certain aspects of its application, such as the relationship between VR environments, training, and Sense of Presence (SoP), have yet to be explored. SoP impacts learners’ performances in certain learning situations, whereas in others, it does not. This study aimed to investigate the impact of VR, including SoP, on immersive mass incident simulation performances. A cross-sectional study was performed by immersing 83 undergraduate students (ambulance attendants, student nurses, and medical students) in a VR simulation. Questionnaires were administered before, during, and after the simulation to assess variables impacting non-technical skills. The results revealed that SoP was not associated with performance (P = 0.66). However, performance was associated with the learners’ perceptions of the VR environment (P = 0.008). Therefore, the impact of environmental perception on performance should be considered, allowing instructors to promote optimal training in VR. Moreover, SoP may impact performance in certain types of learning, like emotional skills training. Thus, VR should be chosen as a simulation modality to encourage reflexivity through rapid feedback and learning skills in the affective domain.KEYWORDS: Numerical simulationaptitudedisaster medicineteachingeducation Disclosure statementNo potential conflict of interest was reported by the author(s).Additional informationFundingThe author(s) report that no funding was associated with the work featured in this article.Notes on contributorsSabrina ChevalierSabrina Chevalier, MSc, RN: Mrs Chevalier works as nurse in intensive care unit.

This study aimed to describe the professional self-esteem levels of nurses and their experiences with PNOs membership. This study used a mixed methods design. A survey was administered to 453 participants, and focus group interviews were held with the participation of 30 nurses during the quantitative and qualitative phases. Data were collected using the ‘Professional Self-Esteem Scale’ and a ‘Semi-Structured Interview Form.’ Stepwise regression analysis and content analysis were utilized for data analysis. Interview data were analysed in two categories (perception of PNOs and membership in PNOs). The regression analysis revealed that opinions about the effectiveness of the activities of PNOs, the type of institution, the job position, and the type of the unit as the workplace acted on the professional self-esteem of nurses. Most nurses were not members of PNOs, and their professional self-esteem levels were moderate. Political awareness needs to be promoted; students need to be brought together with leaders of PNOs and nurse leaders; the increased focus should be enabled on concepts of leadership, policymaking, and the awareness of legal rights should be raised.KEYWORDS: Membershipmixed methodsnursingassociationsprofessional self-esteem AcknowledgementsAuthorship contribution: S.
