Digital technologies in nursing: An umbrella review.

Background: Digital technologies promise to reduce nurses' workload and increase quality of care. However, considering the plethora of single and review studies published to date, maintaining a comprehensive overview of digital technologies' impact on nursing and effectively utilizing available evidence is challenging.

Objective: This review aims (i) to map published reviews on digital nursing technologies, based on their aims and the specific technologies investigated, to synthesize evidence on how these technologies' uses is associated with (ii) nurses' work-related and organizational factors, professional behavior, and health and work safety and (iii) ethically relevant outcomes for people in need of care.

Managing the work stress of inpatient nurses during the COVID-19 pandemic: a systematic review of organizational interventions.

Background: During the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic, inpatient nurses faced various work stressors. Little is known about organizational interventions that can mitigate the negative consequences of pandemic-related stressors.

Objective: The aim was to provide a synopsis of the literature concerning the types and outcomes of organizational interventions performed during the COVID-19 pandemic that directly (re)organized the work structures of inpatient nurses to address pandemic-related work stressors or to increase nurses' ability to cope.

When help is not wanted: Frustrated needs and poor after-work recovery as consequences of unwanted help at work.

Instrumental help and support in the workplace are mostly associated with outcomes that are considered desirable for organisations and their employees. In this study, we seek to shed light on a specific type of help at work that may entail negative consequences: being offered help that is not wanted by the recipient. Drawing on basic psychological needs theory and on theory of ruminative thoughts, we propose that offering unwanted help frustrates the recipient's psychological needs for autonomy and competence, which in turn affects after-work recovery processes in the form of increased rumination and decreased psychological detachment.

Job demands and resources as drivers of exhaustion and leaving intentions: a prospective analysis with geriatric nurses.

Background: Nurses show a high prevalence of exhaustion and increased leaving intentions. With this study, we integrate established research about turnover intention with recent burnout literature and present a theoretical model that combines both. The aim of this study was to examine job demands (time pressure, social conflicts) and resources (job control, supervisor support, task identity, person-organisation fit) as drivers and health and age as moderators for the relationships between exhaustion and nurses' organisational and professional leaving intentions.

Employees' work breaks and their physical and mental health: Results from a representative German survey.

This study aimed to investigate the prevalence of three characteristics of work break organization, namely skipping work breaks, interruptions of work breaks, and meal break duration, and their relationships with physical and mental health. We used data from the BAuA-Working Time Survey 2017, a representative workforce survey in Germany, and restricted the sample to 5979 full-time employees. Logistic regression analyses were conducted with in total five health complaints as dependent variables: back pain and low back pain, pain in the neck and shoulder region, general tiredness, faintness, or fatigue, physical exhaustion, and emotional exhaustion.

Too Committed to Switch Off-Capturing and Organizing the Full Range of Work-Related Rumination from Detachment to Overcommitment.

Work-related thoughts during off-job time have been studied extensively in occupational health psychology and related fields. We provide a focused review of the research on overcommitment-a component within the effort-reward imbalance model-and aim to connect this line of research to the most commonly studied aspects of work-related rumination. Drawing on this integrative review, we analyze survey data on ten facets of work-related rumination, namely (1) overcommitment, (2) psychological detachment, (3) affective rumination, (4) problem-solving pondering, (5) positive work reflection, (6) negative work reflection, (7) distraction, (8) cognitive irritation, (9) emotional irritation, and (10) inability to recover.

Nurses' emotional exhaustion: Prevalence, psychosocial risk factors and association to sick leave depending on care setting-A quantitative secondary analysis.

Aims: To explore differences in the prevalence, psychosocial risk factors and the connection to annual sick leave of nurses' emotional exhaustion depending on the care setting.

Design: Quantitative study.

Methods: We conducted a secondary data analysis of a cross-sectional, representative survey with German nurses (BIBB/BAuA-Employment Survey 2018).

Presenteeism and absenteeism in the manufacturing sector: A multilevel approach identifying underlying factors and relations to health.

Presenteeism is problematic since it relates to lower health and productivity. Prior research examined many work and attitudinal variables relating to presenteeism at the individual level. Here, we conceptualize presenteeism as multilevel phenomenon also shaped by the overall attendance behavior (absenteeism and presenteeism) at the work unit.

Difficulties detaching psychologically from work among German teachers: prevalence, risk factors and health outcomes within a cross-sectional and national representative employee survey.

Background: Teachers often face high job demands that might elicit strong stress responses. This can increase risks of adverse strain outcomes such as mental and physical health impairment. Psychological detachment has been suggested as a recovery experience that counteracts the stressor-strain relationship.

Individual Determinants of Rest-Break Behavior in Occupational Settings.

Aims: Work breaks improve well-being, productivity, and health. The aim of this study was to investigate the individual determinants of rest-break behavior during work using the theory of planned behavior (TPB).

Methods: The association between attitude, control, and subjective norm and rest-break intention (i.

Nurses' rest breaks and organizational leaving intentions.

Improving nurses' staff retention is highly needed since risks of turnover are high in this profession. Prior research uncovered job demands as important driver and job resources as protective factor for the development of nurses' organizational leaving intentions. However, research on beneficial effects of rest break design as an important job resource on nurses' leaving intentions is sparse and their interactions with present job demands have been widely neglected.

Interventions for improving psychological detachment from work: A meta-analysis.

Psychological detachment from work during off-job time is crucial to sustaining employee health and well-being. However, this can be difficult to achieve, particularly when job stress is high and recovery is most needed. Boosting detachment from work is therefore of interest to many employees and organizations, and over the last decade numerous interventions have been developed and evaluated.

Prospective associations between burnout symptomatology and hair cortisol.

Objectives: Burnout is a stress-related, psychological syndrome due to high levels of job stressors. It has been found to be related to impairments of well-being, health, and job outcomes. Alterations of glucocorticoid secretion might be a mechanism explaining the linkage between burnout and reduced psychophysical functioning.

Psychosocial areas of worklife and chronic low back pain: a systematic review and meta-analysis.

Background: The aim of this review was to synthesize the evidence on the potential relationship between psychosocial work factors from the Areas of Worklife (AW) model (workload, job control, social support, reward, fairness, and values) and chronic low back pain (CLBP; unspecific pain in the lumbar region lasting 3 months or longer).

Methods: We conducted a systematic literature search of studies in Medline, PsycINFO, Web of Science, and CINAHL (1987 to 2018). Three authors independently assessed eligibility and quality of studies.

Methods in Experimental Work Break Research: A Scoping Review.

The number of studies on work breaks and the importance of this subject is growing rapidly, with research showing that work breaks increase employees' wellbeing and performance and workplace safety. However, comparing the results of work break research is difficult since the study designs and methods are heterogeneous and there is no standard theoretical model for work breaks. Based on a systematic literature search, this scoping review included a total of 93 studies on experimental work break research conducted over the last 30 years.

Antecedents and outcomes of nurses' rest break organization: A scoping review.

Objectives: To prevent an accumulation of strain during work and to reduce error risk, many countries have made rest breaks mandatory. In the nursing literature, insufficient rest break organization is often reported. However, the outcomes of nurses' rest break organization and its anteceding factors are less clear.

Functional work breaks in a high-demanding work environment: an experimental field study.

Work breaks are known to have positive effects on employees' health, performance and safety. Using a sample of twelve employees working in a stressful and cognitively demanding working environment, this experimental field study examined how different types of work breaks (boxing, deep relaxation and usual breaks) affect participants' mood, cognitive performance and neurophysiological state compared to a control condition without any break. In a repeated measures experimental design, cognitive performance was assessed using an auditory oddball test and a Movement Detection Test.

A Meta-Analysis on Antecedents and Outcomes of Detachment from Work.

Detachment from work has been proposed as an important non-work experience helping employees to recover from work demands. This meta-analysis (86 publications, = 91 independent study samples, = 38,124 employees) examined core antecedents and outcomes of detachment in employee samples. With regard to outcomes, results indicated average positive correlations between detachment and self-reported mental (i.

High Job Demands and Low Job Control Increase Nurses' Professional Leaving Intentions: The Role of Care Setting and Profit Orientation.

We investigated how two types of care setting (home care and nursing home) and type of ownership (for-profit vs. public/non-profit) of geriatric care services interacted in influencing registered nurses' intention to give up their profession. In prior research, employment in for-profit-organizations, high job demands, and low job control were important antecedents of nurses' intent to leave.

Uncovering the care setting-turnover intention relationship of geriatric nurses.

In times of global demographic changes, strategies are needed for improving nursing staff retention. We examined the association of care setting (nursing homes and home care) with geriatric nurses' intention to leave their job and their profession. Thus far, it is unclear why nurses' turnover intention and behaviour do not differ between care settings, although working conditions tend to be better in home care.

Acute psychosocial stress and emotion regulation skills modulate empathic reactions to pain in others.

Psychosocial stress affects resources for adequate coping with environmental demands. A crucial question in this context is the extent to which acute psychosocial stressors impact empathy and emotion regulation. In the present study, 120 participants were randomly assigned to a control group vs.

Rest break organization in geriatric care and turnover: a multimethod cross-sectional study.

Background: Various determinants of nurses' work motivation and turnover behavior have been examined in previous studies. In this research, we extend this work by investigating the impact of care setting (nursing homes vs. home care services) and the important role of rest break organization.
