Within-Person Dynamics of Job Boredom and Counterproductive Work Behavior: A Latent Change Score Modeling Approach.

Job boredom is one of the most common negative affective states experienced in the workplace, yet also among the least well-understood. One stream of research suggests that employees frequently react to job boredom by engaging in counterproductive work behaviors (CWB). However, recent studies show the converse-that engaging in CWB relates to job boredom.

Extranodal marginal zone lymphoma of the larynx: A case report and scoping review.

Background: This scoping review aims to review cases of extranodal marginal zone lymphoma (MZL) of the larynx to establish best management practices for this rare clinical entity.

Methods: In this paper, we report a case of laryngeal MZL, in accordance with CARE guidelines. We then performed a scoping review according to PRISMA-ScR criteria of published cases of MZL involving the larynx.

Patient Engagement with Conversational Agents in Health Applications 2016-2022: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis.

Clinicians and patients seeking electronic health applications face challenges in selecting effective solutions due to a high market failure rate. Conversational agent applications ("chatbots") show promise in increasing healthcare user engagement by creating bonds between the applications and users. It is unclear if chatbots improve patient adherence or if past trends to include chatbots in electronic health applications were due to technology hype dynamics and competitive pressure to innovate.

Granular Cell Tumors of the Larynx: A Systematic Review.

Objective: Granular cell tumor of the larynx is an uncommon, typically benign lesion that may be confused for a malignant neoplasm based on histopathology. This review examines cases of granular cell tumor of the larynx in adults to highlight key distinctions in diagnosis/management and demonstrate how misclassification may lead to unnecessary escalations in therapy.

Data Sources And Methods: A systematic search of PubMed, Ovid, and EBSCO Search Hosts was completed in December 2021.

Evaluation and Management of Inflammatory Reactions to Vocal Fold Injection Laryngoplasty with Hyaluronic Acid.

Objectives: Inflammatory reaction to vocal fold injection laryngoplasty with hyaluronic acid (HA) is a rare condition whose optimal management is not established. In this study, we aim to review the presentation of these reactions and outline an approach for evaluation and management.

Methods: We performed a retrospective review of all patients at our institution who underwent vocal fold injection augmentation with HA during the period extending from August 2018 until October 2022.

Task-related and task-unrelated thoughts in runners and equestrians: Measurement issues in evaluations of thought content.

Much of the thought content and mind-wandering literature examines self-reported thought content's relationship with performance criteria in limited ways. Furthermore, retrospective reports about thought content may be influenced by the quality of one's performance. We explored these method issues in a cross-sectional study of individuals competing in a trail race and an equestrian event.

The real-time and carry-over effects of injustice on performance and service quality in a ridesharing driver scenario.

Unlabelled: The nature of gig work and its growth have important implications for organizational justice theory. Aspects of gig work, including the transactional compensation arrangement, strict algorithmic rating system, and power asymmetry between drivers and customers, have implications for understanding how dimensions of distributive, informational, and interpersonal injustice manifest and impact job performance in the gig context. An understanding of this topic can inform justice theory more broadly and help explain inconsistent findings in the literature.

Efficacy of Office-Based Intralesional Steroid Injections in the Management of Subglottic Stenosis: A Systematic Review.

Objective: To determine the efficacy of office-based intralesional steroid injections (ILSI) as a management therapy for adult subglottic stenosis (SGS).

Data Sources: A systematic review was completed using PubMed and Science Direct for office-based management of SGS due to various etiologies.

Review Methods: The primary end point measured was a change in surgery free interval (SFI) between endoscopic procedures due to office-based serial ILSI.

The Impact of Surgical Team Familiarity on Length of Procedure and Length of Stay: Inconsistent Relationships Across Procedures, Team Members, and Sites.

Background: Team familiarity has been shown to be important for operative efficiency and number of complications, but it is unclear for which types of operations and for which team members familiarity matters the most. The objective of this study is to further our understanding of familiarity in the OR by quantifying the relative importance of familiarity among all possible core team dyads, and defining the impact of team level familiarity on outcomes.

Materials And Methods: Using a retrospective chart and administrative data review, five years of data from two health systems (14 hospitals) and across two procedures, (knee arthroplasty and lumbar laminectomy) were included.

"Worse than I anticipated" or "This isn't so bad"?: The impact of affective forecasting accuracy on self-reported task performance.

Various motivational theories emphasize that desired emotional outcomes guide behavioral choices. Although motivational theory and research has emphasized that behavior is affected by desired emotional outcomes, little research has focused on the impact of anticipated feelings about engaging in behavior. The current research seeks to partly fill that void.

Respiratory Laryngeal Dystonia: Characterization and Diagnosis of a Rare Neurogenic Disorder.

Objectives/hypothesis: Respiratory laryngeal dystonia (RLD) is poorly understood and rarely reported in the literature. Patients have atypical laryngeal movement resulting in airway obstruction. This motion is neurogenic in nature, is constant while awake, nonepisodic, and non-trigger dependent.

Hacking teamwork in health care: Addressing adverse effects of ad hoc team composition in critical care medicine.

Background: The continued need for improved teamwork in all areas of health care is widely recognized. The present article reports on the application of a hackathon to the teamwork problems specifically associated with ad hoc team formation in rapid response teams.

Purposes: Hackathons-problem-solving events pioneered in computer science-are on the rise in health care management.

Development of a Measure of Informal Workplace Social Interactions.

A measure of informal, non-task-related workplace social interactions that captures both the frequency of interactions and the positive affect that can accompany such interactions was developed and validated. In two samples of employees ( = 188 and = 315, respectively), the factor structure, reliability, and incremental predictive validity of the newly developed measure were evaluated. Results support the anticipated two-factor structure, demonstrate strong psychometric properties, and reveal that the new measure explains additional variance in employee outcomes (job satisfaction and job-related positive affect).

Just how miserable is work? A meta-analysis comparing work and non-work affect.

Although we spend much of our waking hours working, the emotional experience of work, versus non-work, remains unclear. While the large literature on work stress suggests that work generally is aversive, some seminal theory and findings portray working as salubrious and perhaps as an escape from home life. Here, we examine the subjective experience of work (versus non-work) by conducting a quantitative review of 59 primary studies that assessed affect on working days.

Pressure induced tissue resection in the larynx: A preliminary canine study.

Objectives: The application of laser (light amplification by stimulated emission of radiation) energy in the larynx relies on thermal injury. The impact of this injury on adjacent tissue can be undesirable. Attempts have been made to limit the extent and range of injury to adjacent tissue.

Trauma resuscitation: can team behaviours in the prearrival period predict resuscitation performance?

Background: Optimising team performance is critical in paediatric trauma resuscitation. Previous studies in aviation and surgery link performance to behaviours in the prearrival period.

Objective: To determine if patterns of human behaviour in the prearrival period of a simulated trauma resuscitation is predictive of resuscitation performance.

Reducing nurses' stress: A randomized controlled trial of a web-based stress management program for nurses.

Background: Nursing is a notoriously high-stress occupation - emotionally taxing and physically draining, with a high incidence of burnout. In addition to the damaging effects of stress on nurses' health and well being, stress is also a major contributor to attrition and widespread shortages in the nursing profession. Although there exist promising in-person interventions for addressing the problem of stress among nurses, the experience of our group across multiple projects in hospitals has indicated that the schedules and workloads of nurses can pose problems for implementing in-person interventions, and that web-based interventions might be ideally suited to addressing the high levels of stress among nurses.

An examination of two positive organizational interventions: For whom do these interventions work?

Owing to the importance of employee psychological well-being for a variety of work- and non-work-related outcomes, practitioners and scholars have begun to broaden the scope of workplace well-being interventions by incorporating principles from positive psychology. Among such positive interventions, gratitude exercises have arguably emerged as the "gold standard" practice, with much research pointing to their effectiveness. However, existing workplace interventions lack a true (i.

Cardiac resuscitation events: one eyewitness is not enough.

Objective: To determine the accuracy of paper cardiopulmonary resuscitation records.

Design: Case series.

Setting: Twenty-six-bed video-monitored pediatric cardiac ICU.

Pectoralis major myocutaneous flap for reconstruction of circumferential pharyngeal defects.

Background: A 270-degree partially tubed pectoralis major myocutaneous flap (PMMF) is an excellent option for total circumferential pharyngoesophageal defects in patients who are not candidates for more complex reconstructions.

Methods: Patients undergoing circumferential pharyngoesophageal reconstruction with partially tubed PMMF were reviewed. End points were stricture, fistula, resumption of oral intake, perioperative death, and recurrence.

Test of a web-based program to improve adherence to HIV medications.

We evaluated the effectiveness of a web-based version of the Life-Steps intervention combined with modules for stress reduction and mood management, designed to improve medication adherence among HIV infected individuals. 168 HIV+ adults were randomized into either the Life-Steps program or a waitlist control condition. All participants completed a baseline assessment and provided a 2-week electronic pill (MEMS) cap baseline reading.

The survive and thrive program: encouraging coaching, mentoring, and peer learning among new local health officials.

There is a need for programs tailored to train the approximately 300 new local health officials (LHOs) who emerge each year with the knowledge and skills needed to build, maintain, and enhance public health capacity and infrastructure. The Survive and Thrive program incorporates a curriculum that is designed to address the challenges faced by a new LHO. The Survive and Thrive program seeks to address these issues by leveraging the expertise of the current generation of local public health leadership by incorporating experienced LHOs as coaches.

The benefits of flexible team interaction during crises.

Organizations increasingly rely on teams to respond to crises. While research on team effectiveness during nonroutine events is growing, naturalistic studies examining team behaviors during crises are relatively scarce. Furthermore, the relevant literature offers competing theoretical rationales concerning effective team response to crises.
