We examined the relationship between registered nurse (RN) workgroup job satisfaction and hospital-acquired pressure ulcers (HAPUs) among older adults on six types of acute care units. Random-intercept logistic regression analyses were performed using 2009 unit-level data from the National Database of Nursing Quality Indicators® (NDNQI®) and the NDNQI RN Survey. Overall, RN workgroup job satisfaction was negatively associated with HAPU rates, although the relationship varied by unit type. RN workgroup satisfaction was significantly associated with HAPU rates on critical care, medical, and rehabilitation units. No significant association was found on step-down, surgical, and medical-surgical units. Findings provide evidence that higher RN workgroup job satisfaction is related to lower HAPU rates among older adult patients in acute care hospitals.

Division of General Pediatrics, Zucker School of Medicine at Hofstra/Northwell, United States.
Background: Transition to adulthood is a vulnerable time for emerging adults (16-25 years of age) with sickle cell disease (SCD), as there is a seven-fold increase in mortality rates during the transition period. Emerging adults with SCD also have the highest rates of hospitalizations, emergency room visits, and hospital readmissions compared to other age groups. Community health worker (CHW) programs have been developed to address outcomes such as patient activation which includes an individual's knowledge, skill, and confidence for managing one's health and healthcare, quality of life, and healthcare utilization for patients with chronic illnesses.

Purpose Of Review: Burnout is a context-dependent, global issue among physicians in the medical field who often face job-related stressors, high workloads, and limited or lack of social support or autonomy. Within medicine, neurology is a specialty with high levels of burnout and low levels of work-life satisfaction. We, therefore, conducted this study to evaluate burnout rates among neurologists globally and identify the tools used to evaluate it.
