Article Synopsis
- Healthcare professionals experience high occupational stress, significantly influenced by factors like effort-reward imbalance (ERI) and leader-member exchange (LMX).
- A survey of 1,137 healthcare workers showed that over 75% reported high ERI, particularly affecting those in direct patient care, while leaders generally rated their relationships with subordinates more positively.
- The findings suggest that emphasizing the importance of social relationships at work can reduce job stress, indicating a need for stress prevention programs that involve both healthcare leaders and staff.

In a clinical study, the influence of 6 per cent Dextran 60 and 6 per cent hydroxyethyl starch (HES) on blood clotting was measured in 2 comparable groups of surgical patients. Haematocrit, platelets, thromboplastin time according to Quick, partial thromboplastin time and fibrinogen level were determined before and after isovolaemic haemodilution, and subsequently during a period of 14 days.
