Making Sense of Burnout: A Reflexive Thematic Analysis of How Teachers in England Discuss and Encounter the Term Burnout.

Despite extensive research looking at the phenomenon of burnout, little is known about how individuals working in traditionally high-burnout occupations understand the term. Interviews were conducted with six teachers working in state schools in England centring on how the term burnout was understood and how it was used or encountered. Reflexive thematic analysis was employed from a critical realist perspective to analyse the data generated.

A critical narrative analysis of shared decision-making in acute inpatient mental health care.

Shared decision-making (SDM) is a high priority in healthcare policy and is complementary to the recovery philosophy in mental health care. This agenda has been operationalised within the Values-Based Practice (VBP) framework, which offers a theoretical and practical model to promote democratic interprofessional approaches to decision-making. However, these are limited by a lack of recognition of the implications of power implicit within the mental health system.

A Review of Patient Lifting Interventions to Reduce Health Care Worker Injuries.

Health care workers suffer from musculoskeletal disorders at a significantly higher rate than workers in other industries. Consequently, a growing demand for patient handling devices to reduce worker injury has evolved. This article reviews the literature regarding interventions designed to reduce injuries among health care workers.

Simulation study of noncovalent hybridization of carbon nanotubes by single-stranded DNA in water.

Recent discovery that single-stranded DNA (ssDNA) binds to carbon nanotubes with high affinity to form soluble hybrids has received great attention as a promising approach to solving the long-standing problem of nanotube solubilization and separation. The mechanism of this process, including the nature of the DNA-nanotube interactions and the molecular structure of the hybrids is still not well understood. Here, we use all-atom replica-exchange molecular dynamics simulations to study the association of several ssDNA decamers with single-walled carbon nanotubes of different chirality in an aqueous environment.
