Article Synopsis
- The study investigates how Emotional Intelligence (EI) affects the relationship between Occupational Health and Safety Management Practices (OHSMP) and safety performance among oil and gas workers.
- Using a survey of 699 respondents from government-owned organizations, the research finds that OHSMP significantly impacts EI, safety performance, and workplace accidents.
- Higher levels of EI in workers lead to better compliance with safety practices, resulting in safer behaviors and improved overall safety performance in the workplace.
Extended nursing roles have existed since the 1940s. The first specialist nurse for Parkinson's disease, a complex neurodegenerative disease, was appointed in the United Kingdom (UK) in 1989. A review was undertaken using MEDLINE and Cumulative Index to the Nursing and Allied Health Literature (CINAHL), relating to the role and evidence for Parkinson's disease nurse specialists (PDNSs).

They discuss the communication challenges that arise with the various PPE required when caring for patients in high-containment clinical environments and how they and their colleagues in the National Institutes of Health's Special Clinical Studies Unit developed, field-tested, refined, and ultimately implemented policies and procedures that enabled clinicians to communicate effectively with other staff, patients, and external partners, such as governmental agencies, other specialized units, and nonprofit organizations.

Objective: To evaluate the evidence for the treatment of PD during pregnancy and to canvass opinion from patients and clinical teams as to the optimum clinical management in this setting.
Background: Parkinson's disease (PD) is heterogeneous and age at onset may define variation in clinical phenotype. Most previous studies have used various age cut-offs and have been based on clinical case series.
Methods: We have studied the association between clinical features and age of onset in 358 community-based and regional patients with PD.
