Background: Nurses' work environments are associated with burnout experiences among nurses. The RN4CAST project provides data on these constructs within a four-level structure (nurse, nursing unit, hospital, and country), implying more complicated multilevel analysis strategies than have been used in previous efforts studying this relationship.
Objectives: First, to explore and investigate the effect of the nursing unit, hospital, and country level variability on the relationship between dimensions of nurses' work environment and dimensions of burnout. Second, to explore the significance of the nursing unit, hospital, and country level variability among the burnout dimensions.
Design: Data from the RN4CAST project were available from a cross-sectional survey among 23,446 nurses in 2087 nursing units in 352 hospitals in 11 countries.
Methods: Nurse-reported information on their work environment (managerial support for nursing, doctor-nurse collegial relations, and promotion of care quality) and burnout experiences (emotional exhaustion, depersonalization and personal accomplishment) were available. We specified ecological measures of the nurse work environment dimensions at the three organizational levels and combined these with individual-level outcomes within a series of multilevel statistical models. The final model was a multivariate multilevel probit model in which we modeled the work environment and burnout dimensions jointly.
Results: Doctor-nurse collegial relations affected all burnout dimensions, but at the unit level only. For the dimension of promotion of care quality, the effect of the ecological exposure on burnout was pronounced at both the nursing unit and the hospital level for all three burnout dimensions. Findings for the dimensions of managerial support for nursing were ambiguous.
Conclusion: Nurse work environment dynamics are related to nurses' burnout experiences at both the nursing unit and the hospital level. This implies that both hospital-wide and unit-specific interventions should be considered to achieve excellent work environments. The correlation structure among the three burnout outcomes varies across countries, but is stable between hospitals within countries and between nursing units within hospitals.

Specialized pediatric palliative care in Italy: where are we going? The Palliped 2022-2023 study.
Ital J Pediatr
January 2025
Polistudium SRL, Milan, Italy.
Background: The PalliPed project is a nationwide, observational, cross-sectional study designed with the aim of providing a constantly updated national database for the census and monitoring of specialized pediatric palliative care (PPC) activities in Italy. This paper presents the results of the first monitoring phase of the PalliPed project, which was developed through the PalliPed 2022-2023 study, to update current knowledge on the provision of specialized PPC services in Italy.
Methods: Italian specialized PPC centers/facilities were invited to participate and asked to complete a self-reporting, ad-hoc, online survey regarding their clinical activity in 2022-2023, in the revision of the data initially collected in the first PalliPed study of 2021.

Objective: To analyze the sociostructural determinants associated with mental health problems during the lockdown period among populations residing in Brazil, Chile, Ecuador, Mexico, Peru, and Spain who lived with minors or dependents, approached from a gender perspective.
Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted in six participating countries via an adapted, self-managed online survey. People living with minors and/or dependents were selected.
Depression symptom severity and behavioral impairment in school-going adolescents in Uganda.
BMC Psychiatry

Division of Epidemiology and Social Sciences, Institute for Health and Equity, Medical College of Wisconsin, 8701 Watertown Plank Road, Milwaukee, WI, 53226, USA.
Background: During adolescence, a critical developmental phase, cognitive, psychological, and social states interact with the environment to influence behaviors like decision-making and social interactions. Depressive symptoms are more prevalent in adolescents than in other age groups which may affect socio-emotional and behavioral development including academic achievement. Here, we determined the association between depression symptom severity and behavioral impairment among adolescents enrolled in secondary schools of Eastern and Central Uganda.

Nano-biochar considers a versatile and valuable sorbent to enhance plant productivity by improving soil environment and emerged as a novel solution for environmental remediation and sustainable agriculture in modern era. In this study, roles of foliar applied nanobiochar colloidal solution (NBS) on salt stressed tomato plants were investigated. For this purpose, NBS was applied (0%, 1% 3% and 5%) on two groups of plants (control 0 mM and salt stress 60 mM).

This study aims to explore the mechanism behind the influence of stress on gas adsorption by coal during deep mining and improve the accuracy of gas disaster prevention and control. To achieve this aim, thermodynamic analysis was conducted on the process of gas adsorption by loaded coal, and modified thermodynamic model proposed by previous scholars. It is found that stress plays an important role in gas adsorption by coal.
