The study by Erfani et al. confirms that ACOs did not achieve the promise of cancer care cost reduction, but leaves open important questions about the impacts of accountable care on the quality, coordination, and equity of cancer care delivery. While the inability of ACOs to deliver cost reductions for patients with cancer may feel like a step backwards for accountable care in oncology, the work of Erfani et al. actually represents an important step forward in the field, settling the important cost question in order to open a broader conversation on the goals of ACOs and value-based care delivery models in oncology, the means to evaluate them in a comprehensive, patient-centered manner, and the urgency of incorporating the needs and voices of diverse populations in the important work of cancer care delivery reform.

However, over the past decades, informal kinship care has become gradually strained by political, economic and social conditions, such as: legacies of colonialism, increasing levels of poverty and inequality, instability, or infectious diseases.

Background: Supervisor-subordinate relationship is high relevant in dealing with work-related stress and providing a compassionate, high-quality, and safe nursing care while meeting the needs of the hospital. Our aim was to assess the predisposing risk and resilience factors of the stress of nursing staff as well as to explore the common and distinctive perceptions of these factors between nurses without a managerial position (nursing staff) and employees in a supervising position (nurse managers, ward nurses).
Design: Generic qualitative study using half-standardized interviews.
