Article Synopsis
- The study investigates how adults with asthma perceive the usability and acceptability of three integrated devices that monitor indoor air quality, assess asthma symptoms, and measure lung function over a 14-day period.
- Participants (N=40) used the Awair Omni air quality monitor, ZEPHYRx spirometer, and EMA surveys via a smartphone app, providing feedback on the setup process and device effectiveness through interviews and usability scales.
- Results showed a diverse participant group with a significant majority being female and educated, and most expressed positive views on the usability of the devices to monitor their asthma-related health in real-time.
Introduction: The intersection between perinatal mental health and the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic remains of significant public health importance. The current study examined the emotional and financial well-being and predictors of elevated depressive symptoms among pregnant women during the COVID-19 pandemic.
Methods: This online survey was conducted with 2118 women ≥18 years old who were pregnant at the time of the survey and living in the United States or Puerto Rico.
Introduction: To understand the experiences of emergency nurses who have returned to work after parental leave, specifically relating to the return to work transition, work-life balance, work engagement, and opportunities to continue human milk expression.
Methods: Nurses (N = 19) were recruited from 5 emergency departments within 1 hospital system in the United States Midwest. Nurses (n = 11) were eligible to participate in a one-on-one interview if they had returned from parental leave within 6 months of the interview date.
Background: It is estimated that over 60% of adults with asthma have uncontrolled symptoms, representing a substantial health and economic impact. The effects of the home environment and exposure to volatile organic compounds (VOCs) and fine particulate matter (PM) on adults with asthma remain unknown. In addition, methods currently used to assess the home environment do not capture real-time data on potentially modifiable environmental exposures or their effect on asthma symptoms.
