Published: February 2021

Objective: To explore the emotions experienced by the nurses of a Home Hospitalization Unit as a result of their work role.

Method: A qualitative exploratory study was carried out with a phenomenology approach to explore people's experiences and inner-life experiences. The participants were 9nurses working in the home hospitalization unit. An analysis of qualitative content was undertaken. Units of meaning were grouped into 13 codes that, in turn, were classified into 4 categories, emotional dimension, beneficial and distressing aspects, daily working life and personal life.

Results: Nursing professionals working in palliative care suffer continuous exposure to traumatic situations, although they also report feeling satisfactory emotions that compensate for moments of distress. Having resources such as training in self-care and emotional regulation, as well as social support seems to be key to providing quality care and avoiding the onset of compassion fatigue.

Conclusions: Maintaining psychosocial well-being in the workplace is crucial for palliative care nurses to be able to undertake their work in the best possible way.

Doxorubicin (DOX) is a first-line chemotherapy agent known for its cardiac toxicity. DOX-induced cardiotoxicity (DIC) severely limits the use for treating malignant tumors and is associated with a poor prognosis. The sensitivity to DIC varies among patients, but the precise mechanisms remain elusive.

Brain anatomy plays a key role in complex behaviors and mental disorders that are sexually divergent. While our understanding of the sex differences in the brain anatomy remains relatively limited, particularly of the underlying genetic and molecular mechanisms that contribute to these differences. We performed the largest study of sex differences in brain volumes (N = 33,208) by examining sex differences both in the raw brain volumes and after controlling the whole brain volumes.
