AI Article Synopsis
- - The study aimed to evaluate how personal, ward, and organizational factors influence hospital staff performance during missile attacks, particularly in Israel during the summer of 2014.
- - Research involved qualitative focus groups and quantitative surveys with 409 hospital workers, examining aspects like decision-making involvement, clarity of communication, and overall coping strategies during emergencies.
- - Results indicated that clear directives and strong executive leadership significantly enhance hospital staff functioning during crises, suggesting that effective management is crucial for maintaining operations in emergency situations.
Article Abstract
Aim: To examine personal, ward and organisational factors related to the functioning of general hospital staff under missile attack.
Background: The summer of 2014 is remembered in Israel for missile attacks from the Gaza Strip targeting the civilian population of southern Israel.
Methods: The study was carried out in two steps: (1) Qualitative-a focus group to identify the issues faced by the staff of a hospital under fire, (2) Quantitative-a cross-sectional study among 409 hospital workers to explore: (a) personal involvement in decision-making, (b) clarity of directives, (c) coping with emergency on the ward and on (d) the management level, (e) personal professional functioning.
Results: A statistically significant positive correlation was found between personal involvement in decision- and policy-making, the clarity of directives and hospital ward functioning. A regression analysis demonstrated that executive management and leadership, clarity of directives and workers' personal functioning statistically significantly explained 46.1% (R = 0.461) of the variance in ward functioning during emergency.
Conclusion: Clarity of directives and executive management and leadership in emergency were positively associated with ward functioning and coping with emergency.
Implications For Nursing Management: To ensure proper hospital functioning during emergency, managers must demonstrate personal involvement and leadership, providing clear directives.

The cytokine interleukin-10 (IL-10) limits the immune response and promotes resolution of acute inflammation. Because of its immunosuppressive effects, IL-10 up-regulation is a common feature of tumor progression and metastasis. Recently, IL-10 regulation has been shown to depend on mitochondria and redox-sensitive signals.

Background: Sarcomas (SARC) are a diverse group of malignant tumors originating from mesenchymal tissues, characterized by poor prognosis under conventional therapies. CX3CR1, a chemokine receptor involved in immune cell migration, has emerged as a key player in SARC. Post-translational modifications (PTMs) such as phosphorylation and ubiquitination critically modulate CX3CR1, influencing cancer progression, immune responses, and treatment resistance.
