Background: The objective of this study was to assess psychometric properties of the Polish version of the Meister questionnaire for subjective assessment of work-related mental load among nurses.
Material And Methods: A group of 211 nurses (mean age, 43.1 +/- 7.26) participated in our study. In the process of adaptation stability (test-retest) reliability and factorial validity were assessed. The Maslach Burnout Inventory (MBI) was used as a tool for assessing construct validity).
Results: Factor analysis of the questionnaire confirmed a very good fit between input data and factor model (Kaiser-Mayer-Olkin measure of 0.83). Selected variables, including overload, monotony, and non-specific load, explained 57%, 41%, and 66% of the variance, respectively. The analysis proved high validity of the tool, Cronbach alpha was 0.83 for the total score. The correlation factor for questions and scores in subscales was high. Repeated measurements resulted in similar outcomes, which proved the stability of this measure. The analysis of construct validity showed that overload, monotony, and non-specific load presented positive correlation with emotional exhaustion and depersonalisation. Correlation between variables was moderate (rHO = 0.39-0.58; p < 0.001). 'he total score indicated the following correlations: strong positive with emotional exhaustion (rHO = 0.6, p < 0.001), negative with personal achievements, and positive and moderate with depersonalisation (rHO = -0.14; p < 0.05, rHO = 0.48; p < 0.001).
Conclusion: The Polish version of the Meister questionnaire meets all psychometric criteria and may be used for evaluating mental load among nurses.

Introduction: Postpartum depression (PPD) is a severe complication in the postpartum period and equals a major depression occurring in the first weeks after delivery.

Background: An important methodological challenge in conducting pediatric economic evaluations is estimating the preference-based health-related quality of life (HRQoL) of children. Current methods are highly variable and there is no single instrument available to value HRQoL consistently across multiple pediatric age groups. The Pediatric Quality of Life Inventory (PedsQL) is a non-preference-based generic HRQoL instrument validated for children 2-18 years, but it cannot be directly used in economic evaluations.

Background: Disorders/Differences of Sex Development (DSD) encompass congenital conditions with atypical development of chromosomal, gonadal, or anatomical sex. Due to the rarity and complexity of these conditions, strong evidence for clinical practices is scarce, leading to controversies in management.
Objective: This study, part of a broader project, examines changes over time in the attitudes and beliefs of DSD healthcare providers, focusing on factors contributing to patients' life satisfaction and the influence of medical specialty, gender, and age.
