Purpose: This study aimed to identify the working conditions (working hours, overtime work, number of night shifts, number of holidays, and work intervals) associated with fatigue, based on the shift patterns, and determine their thresholds.
Methods: From January to February 2020, a web-based questionnaire was sent to 4601 shift work nurses at 47 hospitals in Japan. The multivariate logistic analysis was conducted to predict high- and low-fatigue groups by working conditions, and receiver operating characteristic analysis was performed to clarify the high-fatigue thresholds by shift pattern.
Results: A total of 386 shift work nurses participated in this study. The threshold (fatigue was 3.0 or higher) of the two-shift rotation was 9 hours 50 minutes for daily working hours during day shifts (Odds ratio [OR] = 1.57, p < .01), 17 hours 15 minutes for daily working hours during night shifts (OR = 1.20, p < .01), and 8.0 days for the number of night shifts (OR = 1.09, p = .02). The threshold of the three-shift rotation was 9 hours 45 minutes (OR = 1.59, p < .01), 2.9 days for the number of midnight shifts (OR = 1.53, p < .01), and 2.0 times for the interval between day-shift and night-shifts within 12 hours (OR = 1.39, p < .01).
Conclusion: Working hours and the number of night shifts are important for two-shift rotation, and working hours for the assignment of midnight shift are important for three-shift rotations. Nurse managers should manage shifts according to nurses' shift patterns.

University of Utah School of Medicine, Salt Lake City, UT, USA.
Background: The scarcity of resources and caregiving services, a higher prevalence of health conditions, and financial concerns in rural areas in the United States have been well-documented. However, less research has compared experiences between caregivers of people with Alzheimer's disease and related dementias (ADRD) in rural versus urban areas. This study sought to address this gap by identifying those unmet service needs, explore factors associated with service use, and propose tailored strategies for better serving the needs of both rural and urban caregivers.

University of Houston Graduate College of Social Work, Houston, TX, USA.
Background: Due to the high prevalence of depressive symptoms and dementia in older Americans (≥65 years), we trained unpaid family caregivers in an evidence-based life review depression intervention virtually via Zoom and produced positive outcomes. The objective of this study was to examine the feasibility of training caregivers via online video and delivering the intervention at home.
Method: We recruited caregiver-care recipient dyads nationwide during the COVID-19 pandemic (N = 20 dyads).

The population of older adults in India is projected to increase from the current estimate of 150 million to 350 million by the year 2050. The prevalence of older adults with mental health problems including dementia is also increasing rapidly. The socio-cultural changes in the joint family system have necessitated the increasing requirement of formal caregivers for supporting the care of older adults in home as well as residential care institutions.

Gold (Au) nanoclustersare promising photocatalysts for biomedicine, sensing, and environmental remediation. However, the short carrier lifetime, inherent instability, and unclear charge transfer mechanism hinder their application. Herein, the Au nanoclusters decorated with three different isomers of o-Aminophenol, m-Aminophenol, and p-Aminophenol are synthesized, namely o-Au, m-Au, and p-Au, which achieve efficient hydrogen peroxide (HO) photoproduction through two-step one-electron oxygen reduction reaction (ORR).

Background: This study aimed to determine the mediating role of social intelligence in the effect of nurses' work-related strain on trait anger and anger expressions. The challenging working conditions for nurses often result in increased strain and anger. Social intelligence could help to manage anger.
