Professional quality of life of Japanese nurses/midwives providing abortion/childbirth care.

This study explored the relationship between professional quality of life and emotion work and the major stress factors related to abortion care in Japanese obstetric and gynecological nurses and midwives. Between October 2011 and January 2012, questionnaires that included questions concerning eight stress factors, the Professional Quality of Life Scale, and the Japanese version of the Frankfurt Emotional Work Scale, were answered by 255 nurses and midwives working in abortion and childbirth services. Professional Quality of Life scores (compassion fatigue, compassion satisfaction, burnout) were significantly associated with stress factors and emotion work.

Effects of phototherapy in neonates on circadian sleep-wake and saliva cortisol level rhythms.

The influence of phototherapy treatment during the neonatal period on sleep-wake rhythm, and its long-term effects on biological rhythms, was evaluated in preterm and full-term infants. Forty-three infants treated with phototherapy during the neonatal period and 47 untreated infants were examined for entrainment of sleep-wake rhythms between 16 and 52 weeks and for sleep-wake and saliva cortisol rhythms at 2.5 years of age.
