Vitamin D3 deficiency and coronavirus-related health problems

Journal International Journal of Academic Medicine

DOI 10.4103/ijam.ijam_52_23

Issue 1

Volume 10

Introduction: In addition to boosting calcium absorption in the small intestine and preserving sufficient levels of calcium and phosphate in the serum to support proper bone mineralization, Vitamin D3 fortifies the immune system. Vitamin D3 deficiency can occur when regular intakes are gradually below recommended levels and when people get little sunshine exposure. Materials and Methods: The study was conducted using a case series study approach. A structured checklist was utilized on 107 individuals who had recovered from corona disease to identify the causes behind the unfavorable health effects they continue to experience. In addition, the patients underwent extensive laboratory blood testing in a specialized laboratory and received follow‑up care for a period of 6 months. The results were analyzed using the Chi‑square test and the Paired t‑test using the SPSS software. Results: Despite the finding that 84.1% of the study group had Vitamin D3 levels below the normal range, their physical health conditions had considerably improved as a result of the treatment they received. Conclusion: The study found that patients with coronavirus infection had a high prevalence of Vitamin D3 deficiency. After 6 months, this percentage dropped considerably, raising the possibility that the coronavirus may have contributed to the drop in plasma Vitamin D3 levels. To find out how long‑lasting COVID‑19 symptoms are related to Vitamin D3 deficiency, more research is required. The following core competencies are addressed in this article: Medical knowledge, Patient care and procedural skills.

Abstract Background and objectives: Patient safety is an essential and vital component of quality nursing care. However, the nation's health care system is prone to errors, and can be detrimental to safe patient care due to basic system flaws. Studies in different parts of the world have reported nursing errors, which resulted in excess injuries and unnecessary deaths. The study aimed to assess nursing errors generally in some of daily activities through nursing work. Methods: A descriptive study was conducted between November 2, 2013 and January 30, 2014. It was implemented on a convenience sample of the nursing staff (94 nurses) working at three teaching hospitals in the Mosul city. A preliminary open-end question was directed to nurses (11) regarding errors and mistakes that can occur in daily nursing activities. Then a self-administered checklist was constructed for the study, which consisted of three main aspects: nursing administration (14 items), personal aspect and communication (9 items), and professional aspect (19 items). Each item had two options (no = 1; yes = 2). SPSS 11.5 was used to analyze data through descriptive statistics (frequency and percentage) and inferential statistics (chi-square), while P ≤ 0.05 was considered significant. Results: Majority of the nurses were in both the surgical and internal medicine wards (37.2%) and in hospital A (38.3%). Most (40.4%) of them had a tenure of 20–29 years of work. Majority of the errors were due to professional activities (84.21%) followed by management and administration aspects (64.29%) and personal aspects (77.8%). Conclusion: The study found that the role of nurses is functional and not professional, as it clearly lacks; job description, proper professional relationships, sense of belonging to the profession, sense of responsibility, adherence to professional rules at work, lack of patient care, and staying away from career development. The study recommends: emphasis on nursing documentation during daily work, nursing process in caring the patient, and emphasis on sterilization and disinfection guidelines.
