When and how do hospital nurses cope with daily stressors? A multilevel study.

Background: During their workday, nurses face a variety of stressors that are dealt with using different coping strategies. One criticism of the contextual models of work stress is that they fail to focus on individual responses like coping with stress. Neverthless, little is know about the momentary determinants of coping in nurses.

A Brief Version of the Implicit Positive and Negative Affect Test (IPANAT-18).

As self-reports of affect are limited in several regards, an indirect measure of affect, the Implicit Positive and Negative Affect Test (IPANAT; Quirin, Kazén, & Kuhl, 2009) has previously been developed and adapted to more than 10 languages (Quirin et al., 2018), showing adequate reliability and validity. Based on a sample of 242 Spanish adults (111 males), we evaluate a trimmed 18 items version of the IPANAT (IPANAT-18).

Background: Self-report measures of affective states (i.e., explicit measure) underlie a variety of cognitive biasing factors.

Hierarchy of the main factors predicting the decision to go to the doctor in a general population sample: A factorial survey design.

Objective: To obtain a hierarchy of the main factors that predict the decision to go to the doctor when symptoms are not yet linked to a specific disease.

Method: 64 representative vignettes, combinations of nine factors, were presented to 168 adults between 28-60 years of age.

Results: Multilevel multiple regression models were used to rank the main factors predicting urgency to see a doctor in order of importance: the interference of symptoms in daily activities (B = -1.
