Aim: To determine the associations between person-centred care (PCC) and job strain, stress of conscience and intent to leave among healthcare professionals in Swedish hospital departments.
Background: Hospitals have experienced difficulty in retaining qualified healthcare personnel. Previous studies have shown that working in a person-centred environment could offset this challenge, but research is scarce.
Design: A cross-sectional survey design using the STROBE checklist.
Methods: Healthcare professionals (n = 94) in six hospital departments in Sweden completed a survey measuring perceived PCC, job strain, stress of conscience and intent to leave. Data were collected from April 2019 to April 2020. Bivariate analysis was used to describe the sample and correlations between the explanatory variables and perceived PCC and its subscales. Regression analyses were performed to explore the associations between perceived PCC and job strain, stress of conscience and intent to leave.
Results: The organisational and environmental support subscale of perceived PCC showed significant correlations with all explanatory variables, while the extent of personalising care subscale only correlated with job strain and intent to leave. The regression analyses showed that higher perceived PCC was associated with higher job strain, less stress of conscience and less intent to leave.
Conclusion: Higher perceived PCC is associated with work-related factors in hospital departments. There is scope for further research in this area.

Background: Seafarers are exposed to a variety of job-specific physical and psychosocial stressors. Health promotion on board is of great importance for the salutogenesis of this occupational group. Due to the difficult accessibility of seafarers, electronically supported health management can be highly valuable.

Introduction Occupational stress has become increasingly prevalent in the health sector in recent years. This stress poses significant risks, affecting not only the well-being of healthcare workers but also the quality of care patients receive. Therefore, this study aims to assess the prevalence of occupational stress among health workers, identify its roots, and examine its effects on productivity.

Objective: The purpose of this study was to identify the risk factors for the development of chronic lower back pain in older workers.
Methods: This was a prospective cohort study using an Internet survey of workers aged 60-75 years, with a baseline survey conducted in September 2022 and a follow-up survey in October 2023. A total of 2257 participants who did not have chronic lower back pain in the baseline survey were included in the analysis, and the risk factors for chronic lower back pain were examined by logistic regression analysis.
Stress and telomere length in leukocytes: Investigating the role of GABRA6 gene polymorphism and cortisol.
Psychoneuroendocrinology
January 2025
Department of Experimental Clinical and Health Psychology, Ghent University, Ghent, Belgium. Electronic address:
Telomere length (TL) is considered a biomarker of aging, and short TL in leukocytes is related to age and stress-related health problems. Cumulative lifetime stress exposure has also been associated with shorter TL and age-related health problems, but the mechanisms are not well understood. We tested in 108 individuals whether shorter TL in leukocytes is observed in individuals with the GABRA6 TT genotype, which has been associated with dysregulation of hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis activity (the main biological stress system) compared to the CC genotype.
