Brief Summary: It is inevitable that nearly both anesthesiologist and nurse anesthetist take a zero tolerance approach to avoidable safety problems in the provision of anesthesia

We would like to study the stress upon anesthesia personnel by using Suanprung Stress Test SST - a well-documented psychological stress test and Siriraj Anesthesia-related Stress Test SAST - a new developed open-ended opinion poll to scrutinize the daily rounds stress and yield the solution to eradicate or alleviate those worries as well as improve both physical and mental health to handle the situation of difficulties
Detailed Description: This is a prospective study to survey the stress upon anesthesia personnel and verify causes and risk factors to their stress A message of persuading is conducted among the anesthesia personnel in university municipal and private hospitals We ask participants to voluntarily response all items in questionnaires of the SST and SAST

We launch a communication channel with the anesthesia personnel at wwwnmacinth and require that qualified participants register and express their intention to join this research project Each registered participant receives an identification number and a log-in password to the website containing the SST and SAST courseware database The program is interactive with personal files for each participant on each test along with other details like code password date-month-year test scores and log-in periods and time

We introduced the 20 questionnaires of the SST courseware to the developed system via httpwwwdmhgothteststress before performing it under the research approach via wwwnmacinth website The findings revealed that the system operating units were flexible to participants interactive behavior instruction and responsiveness Access to the system through the website provided ready access to the information was user-friendly and was stable In addition the tools were objective covered complete details and were clear with elements of the subject content in proper order

1 SST courseware comprises of 60 questionnaires with scoring through five choices most stressful 5 highly stressful 4 moderately stressful 3 mildly stressful 2 and no stressful 1

In addition the tests underwent verification for content validity and had index of item objective congruence IOC determined by experts with 08 in Cronbachs alpha reliability coefficient r 027 in concurrent validity through calculation of Pearson Product moment correlation against an electromyogram biofeedback
2 SAST courseware comprises of 6 sections with scoring through visual analog scale and allowing open-ended opinions The questionnaires had undergone quality analysis and verification for conciseness accuracy and clarity as well as content and structural validity by three doctorate educational experts with at least a decade of teaching experience The questionnaires IOC was 079 The open-ended questionnaire is composed of the following sections 1 background data age gender experience in anesthesia 2 working data working time overnight job numbers of call 3 personal data sleeping time 4 patient safety issues frequency of various situations involving unsafe actions occurrence of operating room events 5 attitudes toward production pressure depression fatigue confusion tensionanxiety and anger and 6 ratings of sources of production pressure

We ask participants to voluntarily response all items in the SST and SAST However they have rights not to answer any questions that put them in an awkward position

Target group Providing the data approximates to 1000 anesthesiologists and 3000 nurse anesthetists who have formally performed patient care Participation is voluntary without any honorarium their only benefit is self-awareness of stress Whether or not they participated does not affect their careers in any way

Target group size Two hundred and eighty six out of 1000 anesthesiologists and three hundred and fifty three out of 3000 nurse anesthetists are qualified as the final study group

Procedure After participants log in with their codes and passwords given to them they then study the wwwnmacinth website at their leisure for the content of the SST and SAST designed through questionnaires Their scores are immediately provided with the completion of a testing courseware and their individual profiles updated as well Those feeling overwhelmed by the conditions are allowed to withdraw from the project anytime

During this research we are willing to answer queries about the project procedure and monitor individual participants progress through the website while keeping confidential the data about individual participants

Information analysis

1 A psychologist assesses the individual stress which expressed as mean and standard deviation All associated factors are compared by the chi-square test Statistical significance is defined as p 005
2 Information from an open-ended questionnaire This information yields mean and standard deviation values along with content analysis for use in our subsequent discussion
