San Juan de Dios Educational Foundation, Inc. (SJDEFI or SJ, formerly Hospital de San Juan de Dios) is a private, non-stock, non-profit, joint institute of education and tertiary health sciences operating as a college and a hospital in Pasay, Philippines. Both the colleges and hospital are run by the Daughters of Charity. It started out as a hospital in 1578. The hospital is considered the oldest hospital in the Philippines. It is named after San Juan de Dios, a Portuguese-born soldier that turned health-care worker of Spain.Throughout the years, the school has received accreditation from organizations such as the Commission on Higher Education (CHEd), the Department of Education (DepEd). It has also become a member of the Catholic Educational Association of the Philippines (CEAP).

INTRODUCTION:This study registered rates of specific treatment options for mental disorders as well as their long-term outcome. MATERIAL AND METHODS:The history of mental disorders was used as a proxy for diagnosis. The data came from the COMET-G study (40 countries; 54,826 subjects, 64.73 % females, 35.45±13.51 years old). The analysis included descriptive statistics, Risk Ratios, t-tests, and ANCOVA's. RESULTS:24.14 % reported a history of any mental disorder (depression >12 %, non-affective psychosis and Bipolar disorder 1 % each, >20 % self-injury, >10 % had attempted suicide, 7.17 % illegal substance abuse). Most patients were not under any kind of treatment (59.44 %) and most were not receiving treatment as recommended (e.g. 90 % of Bipolar and 2/3 of psychotic patients). No treatment at all and psychotherapy as monotherapy were consistently related to poorer outcomes. In anxiety or depression, only antidepressant monotherapy and benzodiazepines, in Bipolar disorder only antipsychotic monotherapy in males and antidepressant monotherapy in females and in non-affective psychosis antipsychotics and psychotherapy in females only, were related to good outcomes. No treatment modality was related to a good outcome in those with a history of self-harm, suicidal attempts, or illegal substance use. Only depression and treatment with antidepressants were related to metabolic syndrome. DISCUSSION:In the community, the overwhelming majority of mental patients do not receive appropriate treatment or, even worse, no treatment at all. The outcome is unfavourable for the majority and only a few selective treatment options seem to make a difference.
One of the most popular models of leadership that advocates for positive social change is servant leadership. Literature shows various research about servant leadership in healthcare, manufacturing, retail, and higher education institutions, but not much has been done to examine the effect of servant leadership on organizational commitment and support in selected coffee shops. Hence, the study evaluates servant leadership practices and determines their relationships with organizational commitment, organizational support, and team effectiveness among selected coffee shops in Makati City, Philippines. Structured questionnaires were used to collect the data from 180 respondents chosen purposively, and Pearson’s R correlation analysis was utilized for the data analysis. The findings showed statistically significant relationships between servant leadership practices, organizational support, and team effectiveness, including normative and affective commitment. However, the continuance commitment is found not significant. Thus, the findings reveal that servant leadership attributes in terms of emotional healing, creating value for the community, empowering, and helping subordinates grow and succeed, putting subordinates first, and behaving ethically are evident among management employees of the coffee shops in Makati City, Philippines. The study affirms that when employees exhibit servant leadership, the effect on organizational commitment, support, and team effectiveness increases. It further implies that coffee shop management employees should focus more on communication, conceptual skills, addressing conflicts quickly, and coaching the team. The study contributes to the body of knowledge as it validated using the measurement scales in servant leadership, organizational commitment, support, and team effectiveness from a non-western context such as the Philippines. Future research may be carried out to replicate the study in different hospitality settings, such as casual dining and fine dining restaurants, bars, and other fast-food establishments. Moreover, in order to confirm the organizational outcomes of the study, more research is advised in other sectors of the economy, such as academe, training facilities, and tourism among others.
BACKGROUND:Simulation is an innovative tool for developing complex skills required for surgical training. The objective of this study was to determine the advancement of laparoscopic and robotic skills through simulation in participants with limited or no previous experience. METHODS:This is a systematic review and meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials (RCTs) in keeping with the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-analysis guidelines. We conducted searches using MEDLINE (PubMed), Web of Science, Google Scholar, and Cochrane Library. Variables analyzed were study characteristics, participant demographics, and characteristics of the learning program. Our main measures were effectiveness, surgical time, and errors. These were reported using standardized mean difference (SMD) with 95% CI (P < .05). Secondary measures included skill transfer and learning curve. RESULTS:A total of 17 RCTs were included and comprised 619 participants: 354 participants (57%) were in the simulation group and 265 (43%) in the control group. Results indicated that laparoscopic simulation effectively enhanced surgical skills (SMD, 0.59 [0.18-1]; P = .004) and was significantly associated with shorter surgical duration (SMD, -1.08 [-1.57 to -0.59]; P < .0001) and a fewer errors made (SMD, -1.91 [-3.13 to -0.70]; P = .002). In the robotic simulation, there was no difference in effectiveness (SMD, 0.17 [-0.19 to 0.52]; P = .36) or surgical time (SMD, 0.27 [-0.86 to 1.39]; P = .64). Furthermore, skills were found to be transferable from simulation to a real-life operating room (P < .05). CONCLUSION:Simulation is an effective tool for optimizing laparoscopic skills, even in participants with limited or no previous experience. This approach not only contributes to the reduction of surgical time and errors but also facilitates the transfer of skills to the surgical environment. In contrast, robotic simulation fails to maximize skill development, requiring previous experience in laparoscopy to achieve optimal levels of effectiveness.
