The Covid-19 pandemic situation has changed all medical priorities. This has put pressure on the World's health sector, which also affects the economy of the whole world. This study aims to study how Islamic work ethics affects the relationship between spiritual leadership and organizational inclusion practices in the health care sector of Pakistan in the COVID-19 situation. This is a mix-method study. Data collected of 158 practicing doctors through survey-based questionnaire and interview was conducted from 30 doctors dealing with direct coronavirus. The organizational inclusion practices variable is used for the first time in a quantitative approach in this study. The reliability and validity of organizational inclusion practices are checked by Adanco, SPSS, and SmartPLS software. For this purpose, data on inclusion practices was also collected from the banking and education sector. Results show that spiritual leadership significantly relates to Islamic work ethics also has a positive connection between spiritual leadership and organizational inclusion practices. Still, Islamic work ethics as a moderator has an insignificant impact on the relationship between spiritual and organizational inclusion practices. Also, from the result, it is verified that the organizational inclusion practices variable is valid and reliable for further studies.

Background: This study investigated the awareness and utilization of maternity protection and work-family balance support policies among dental hygienists in dental hospitals and clinics. Methods: We surveyed 200 dental hygienists. Twenty-two who did not meet the inclusion criteria were excluded, leaving 178 participants for analysis. The self-administered 48-item questionnaire gathered information on demographics, workplace details, policy awareness, government knowledge, and suggestions for improvement. Results: Awareness of maternity and family support programs significantly differed with age, marital status, number of children, and clinical experience. Dental hygienists in general hospitals and university hospitals reported greater ease of utilizing these policies compared to those in dental clinics. Among the participants, 27.7% took pre- and post-maternity leave, 26.6% took parental leave, 16.9% had reduced working hours during pregnancy, 15.8% had reduced working hours during childhood,and 8.5% during family leave. To promote program uptake, participants suggested mandatory implementation across workplaces (68.4%), expanded support for substitute workers (48.6%), and increased education and promotion of government support (42.4%). Conclusion: While most dental hygienists were aware of the Maternity Protection and Work-Family Balance Assistance Policy, utilizing it proved challenging due to several factors. Organizational policies or practices may not fully implement this policy, while workplace culture could discourage its use. Unfair treatment and the lack of available substitutes further hindered access. To prevent career interruptions for dental hygienists due to pregnancy, childbirth, childcare, and family care, and to maintain career continuity, the dental community and government should establish a multifaceted social support system. This system should prioritize several key areas: strengthening policy promotion, fostering a family-friendly atmosphere, improving management and supervision of policy implementation and developing a robust support system for substitute personnel.

본 연구는 요양시설거주 치매환자들의 삶의 질을 사정하기 위해 개발된 DCM(Dementai Care Mapping)을 활용, 국내 장기요양시설에서의 사람중심케어 실천 정도 및 특성을 탐색하는 것을 목적으로 한다. DCM은 훈련받은 매퍼가 시설거주 치매노인을 관찰 사정하는 도구이지만 본 연구에서는 장기요양 시설 종사자들의 자기보고식 평가척도로 변용하였다. DCM의 개념을 34개의 문항으로 조작화하였으며 브래포드치매팀의 검토를 거쳐 총화평정척도로 만들었다. 본 척도의 신뢰도는 .88로 신뢰할 만 하며, 이를 국내 시설 종사자 343명을 대상으로 설문조사를 실시한 결과 평균점수는 3.77점(5점 척도)으로 나왔다. DCM의 하위카테고리 별 평균 점수는 애착(4.02), 편안함(3.95), 포용(3.89), 정체성(3.67), 주체성(3.41)으로 나타났다. 국내 요양서비스가 대상자의 안전과 편안함에 초점을 맞춘 신체수발에 주력하며 종사자와 대상자간에 애착이 형성되고 있지만, 개별적 케어(정체성)부족이나 대상자의 삶에서 의미있는 활동이 부족한 점(주체성)에서 사람중심케어가 취약함이 드러났다. 한편, DCM척도에 의한 사람중심케어의 특성을 조직 및 개인 특성에 따라 살펴보면, 시설의 규모가 작을수록 사람중심케어 실천이 높으며 공립과 민간시설간의 차이는 없었다. 또한 시설장과 직접 서비스제공자의 사람중심케어 실천이 높으며 경력이 1~2년인 종사자들의 사람중심케어 점수가 높은 것으로 나타났다. 본 연구는 국내 요양서비스에서 사람중심케어의 실천이 필요하며 이를 위한 구체적인 방안으로 유니트케어의 적용, 시설에서 직접 서비스제공자뿐 아니라 간호, 사회복지사등 전 직원을 대상으로 한 사람중심케어 교육 실시를 제언한다. 국내 요양서비스의 질평가에서도 사람중심케어의 관점이 강화돼야 하며 이를 위해 DCM 또는 직접 관찰이 어려운 상황에서는 대안으로 본 연구에서 개발한 한국형DCM척도의 활용을 제언한다.
