Background: we have based our study on the fact that the labour market is progressively becoming more accessible for people with disabilities. This investigation aims to identify the factors that contribute to high levels of work-related stress in a group of disabled individuals in order to develop policies to prevent it and promote the health of the workforce.
Methods: 131 workers from two Special Employment Centres (SECs) of the Amica Association in Cantabria (Spain) participated in the study. Sociodemographic and job-related variables were collected using a questionnaire. Work-related stress was evaluated using the Maslach Burnout Inventory General Survey (MBI-GS), which analyzes emotional exhaustion, cynicism and personal efficacy.
Results: the main explanatory factors for higher levels of emotional exhaustion were more than 5 years of service in the company (OR 3.235-IC 95% 1.392-7.519; = 0.006) and bad job satisfaction (OR 7.615-IC 95% 2.467-23.503; = 0.0001); higher levels of cynicism were also explained by bad job satisfaction (OR 8.599-IC 95% 2.481-29.799; = 0.001).
Conclusions: future research is needed to facilitate the design of company policies and promote the well-being of the disabled population in the workplace, to avoid pathological conditions such as burnout syndrome.

Background: While research in multiple countries confirms that primary care functional features significantly improve patient health, China's primary care system differs markedly due to unique structural and contextual factors. This study aims to measure and explore the functional features experienced by patients received family doctor contract service in the past year, evaluating the impacts and pathways of these primary care features on health outcomes.
Methods: We employed a mixed-methods explanatory sequential design.

During pregnancy, the foot is more in contact with the ground; the need for an increase in foot size, increased metacarpophalangeal laxity, and physical changes are among the most common foot problems. The study validated the Turkish Foot Health Assessment Instrument (FHAI) version. This study comprised 261 pregnant women receiving follow-ups at the outpatient clinic.

This research explores the determinants affecting academic researchers' acceptance of AI writing tools using the Theory of Reasoned Action (TRA). The impact of attitudes, subjective norms, and perceived barriers on researchers' intentions to adopt these technologies is examined through a cross-sectional survey of 150 researchers. Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) is employed to evaluate the measurement and structural models.

Background: Accumulating evidence indicates that biological sex may influence clinical manifestation within the spectrum of frontotemporal lobar degeneration (FTLD), implying differences in cognitive reserve. Nonetheless, investigations into the impact of biological sex during the preclinical and minimally symptomatic stages of FTLD are lacking.
Method: We included 275 mutation carriers (158 females; 127 with C9orf72, 68 with GRN, and 80 with MAPT mutations) and 161 non-carrier familial controls (97 females) from the ALLFTD Consortium (Staffaroni et al.
