Fracture strength of ceramic overlays with immediate dentin sealing and same-day delivery.

Limited research is available evaluating whether the reported in vitro benefit of immediate dentin sealing (IDS)-namely, increased bond strength to tooth structure-can be acquired in the era of same-day (SD) dentistry. The purpose of this study was to compare the fracture strengths of ceramic overlays fabricated with a delayed dentin sealing (DDS) technique or an IDS technique under 1-hour SD or 2-week multiple-day (MD) delivery conditions. Forty extracted, healthy maxillary third molars were prepared for a lithium disilicate overlay restoration and divided into 4 groups of 10 teeth each.

The Rewarding Experience of Serving as a US Air Force Dentist.

Providing care to service members and veterans as an active duty United States Air Force (USAF) dentist is a unique and rewarding experience that can be quite different from the private sector. As a USAF officer, I balance military and dental responsibilities, which has taught me to be flexible and adaptive. Virtually every dentist in the dental corps (DC), unless they are a resident, holds some form of a leadership position, whether that be overseeing clinic operations, the laboratory, an infection control program, or so on.

Do trained nurses feel more psychologically safe?-Results from a multi-level modelling approach.

Aim: To analyse the associations between a nurse's psychological safety and her/his additional training.

Design: A cross-sectional survey conducted between September 2015 and August 2016.

Methods: A multi-level modelling approach was used considering unit membership.

Last Year of Life Study-Cologne (LYOL-C) (Part II): study protocol of a prospective interventional mixed-methods study in acute hospitals to analyse the implementation of a trigger question and patient question prompt sheets to optimise patient-centred care.

Introduction: The Last Year of Life Study-Cologne Part I (LYOL-C I) has identified general hospital units as the most important checkpoints for transitions in the last year of life of patients. Yet, satisfaction with hospitals, as reported by bereaved relatives, is the lowest of all health service providers. Thus, the LYOL-C Part II (LYOL-C II) focuses on optimising patient-centred care in acute hospitals for patients identified to be in their last year of life.

Exploring leading nurses' work values and their association with team safety climate: Results from a questionnaire survey in neonatal intensive care units.

Aim: To explore leading nurses' work values and their effect on the safety climate in neonatal intensive care units (NICUs).

Background: Despite their significance for behaviour, the work values of leading nurses are still insufficiently studied. We explore the impact of work value dimensions (self-transcendence, self-enhancement, conservation, and openness to change) on the safety climate.
