Understudied social influences on work-related and parental burnout: Social media-related emotions, comparisons, and the "do it all discrepancy".

Recent societal changes, including a global pandemic, have exacerbated experiences of and attention to burnout related to work and parenting. In the present study, we investigated how several social forces can act as demands and resources to impact work-related and parental burnout. We tested two primary hypotheses in a sample of women who responded to an online survey ( for analyses ranged from 2376 to 3525).

Some Rest for the Weary? A Qualitative Analysis of Clergy Methods for Managing Demands.

In many ways, clergy (i.e., religious leaders including pastors, ministers) are a high-risk population.

Impact of spousal work restrictions on expatriates' work life and overall life satisfaction.

Our understanding of the challenges and the broader role of spouses of expatriates is extremely limited. This study examined the impact of spousal work restrictions on expatriates' work life and overall life satisfaction using qualitative and quantitative analyses based on data from a sample of 409 Indian Information Technology professionals working in USA. Furthermore, hypothesised conditional process model (tested with PROCESS analysis tool) was supported, showing that spousal work restrictions created complications in personal lives of expatriates, which interfered with work lives resulting in lower overall life satisfaction.

The Sacred and Stressed: Testing a Model of Clergy Health.

In many ways, clergy and religious leaders are an ignored, yet high-risk population. A clergy member unable to cope with challenges in his or her own life may be ineffective at helping church members to cope with their stress. In the present study, we developed and tested an operational model of clergy holistic health, including occupational demands, and personal and job-related resources.

Perceptions of Chaplains' Value and Impact Within Hospital Care Teams.

Many scholars have written about the role of spirituality in health care. One mechanism for incorporating spirituality into the care of patients is to integrate clinically trained chaplains into hospital care teams. We examined in a mixed-methods fashion, the effects of this type of integrated care team within a teaching hospital setting.

Explaining Student Interest and Confidence in Providing Care for Older Adults: The Role of Demographics and Life Experiences.

America's aging population needs interprofessional health care providers committed to providing high-quality, patient-centered care. Considering the often negative attitudes held by health care students about older adults and the impact that can have on their care, it is important to explore factors that influence student attitudes and desire to provide geriatric care. Five hundred seventy-two students pursuing nursing, physical therapy, athletic training, dietetics, and social work degrees were surveyed.

Linking Nurse Leadership and Work Characteristics to Nurse Burnout and Engagement.

Background: Burnout and engagement are critical conditions affecting patient safety and the functioning of healthcare organizations; the areas of worklife model suggest that work environment characteristics may impact employee burnout and general worklife quality.

Objectives: The purpose was to present and test a conditional process model linking perceived transformational nurse leadership to nurse staff burnout and engagement via important work environment characteristics.

Methods: Working nurses (N = 120) provided perceptions of the core study variables via Internet- or paper-based survey.

Understanding time use, stress and recovery practices among early career physicians: an exploratory study.

Early career physicians (ECPs) work an average of 80 h per week, and at times may approach 24 continuous hours working. These hours, combined with a stressful work environment, and an inability to physically and psychologically detach from work make ECPs likely to experience burnout and other negative health-related consequences. This study provides insight into the stress and recovery challenges faced by ECPs in a typical hospital environment.

Rational versus empirical prediction of nursing student success.

Undergraduate and graduate nursing education programs can offer a very limited number of positions to a very large number of student applicants. Although practices vary widely across schools of nursing, it is common in many programs to use rational or holistic judgment when determining which student applicants to admit. The present applied study demonstrates a method and several examples of alternative selection models that can improve administrators' ability to efficiently and effectively identify student applicants with the highest probability of success.

Disclosure and documentation of reported unanticipated medical events or outcomes: need for healthcare provider education.

In 2001 the Joint Commission on Accreditation of Healthcare Organizations added "requirement to disclose unanticipated outcomes" to accreditation standards. Full disclosure increases patient satisfaction and trust in physicians. Though studies suggest elements of complete disclosure, there are no national standards.

Not all resources are created equal: COR theory, values, and stress.

The common usage of conservation of resources (COR) theory highlights the quantity of resources in explaining stress reactions and responses. To expand the theoretical understanding and explanatory power of COR theory, this study tested the proposition that the perceived importance of an individual's resources is a function of personal values. Using a value framework based on Schwartz (1994), it was expected that values would influence both the appraisal of resource importance and coping behaviors.

Preparing for bike-sharing: insight from focus groups and surveys, Chattanooga, Tennessee, 2010.

Objectives: To obtain in-depth community input using qualitative and quantitative methods to guide development and marketing of a bike-share program in Chattanooga, Tennessee.

Method: Focus groups and surveys assessed bicycling attitudes, beliefs, barriers, and behaviors of residents, workers, and university students. The authors completed nine focus groups (N = 56): five sessions with downtown workers, three with downtown residents, and one with university students.

Barriers to physical activity in an on-site corporate fitness center.

Many corporations provide employees the option of participating in on-site fitness centers, but utilization rates are low. Perceived barriers to physical activity have been established as important correlates of physical activity, and recent research indicates that barriers may vary across settings. Work-site fitness centers may present unique barriers to participation, but there are currently no standardized measures that assess such barriers.

The moderating role of goal orientation in the workload-frustration relationship.

Goal orientation was hypothesized to moderate the relationship between quantitative workload and frustration. Based on data from 460 graduate students, two forms of goal orientation moderated this relationship. Specifically, it was found that workload was positively related to frustration for people with high levels of avoiding goal orientation, but not for those with low levels of avoiding goal orientation.

The interactive effects of proactive personality and work-family interference on well-being.

Proactive personality was expected to moderate the relationship between controllable work and nonwork stressors (e.g., time-based work-family interference) and job/life satisfaction.
