AI Article Synopsis
- A study assessed work-related anxiety levels among healthcare workers in emergency departments (ED) using surveys, including Beck's Anxiety Inventory (BAI) and the Mini-International Neuropsychiatric Interview (MINI).
- Out of 130 participants, 43.8% scored above the anxiety threshold on the BAI, with higher scores linked to factors like gender, job dissatisfaction, and previous anxiety disorders.
- The findings indicate teaching coping strategies for trauma and phobias could help reduce anxiety disorders among ED healthcare workers.
Article Abstract
Objective: The present study evaluated the work-related anxiety scores of healthcare workers in emergency departments (ED) and aimed to determine the factors affecting these scores.
Methods: The data was obtained through a survey administered to the emergency staff. Beck's Anxiety Inventory (BAI) and the Mini-International Neuropsychiatric Interview (MINI) work anxiety interview were used to predict and determine the type of anxiety experienced by the participants. The survey was administered to 147 volunteers, and questionnaires from 130 participants were included in the study.
Results: It was found that 43.8% of the participants had a BAI score greater than 7. The study results showed a negative correlation and a linear regression model between age and the BAI score. Additionally, the BAI score was significantly higher in female, singles, physicians, those who were dissatisfied with their jobs, and those who were dissatisfied with their salaries (p<0.05). The results also showed that having a history of anxiety disorder or depression, being a physician, and being dissatisfied with one's job were 6.277, 5.583, and 4.005 times higher, respectively, in terms of suspicion of anxiety (p<0.001). In the MINI job anxiety interview, work-related posttraumatic stress disorder (38.6%) was predicted most frequently, and indiscriminative work-related social phobia (5.3%) was predicted least frequently in participants at risk for anxiety according to the BAI score.
Conclusion: This study suggests that teaching healthcare workers how to cope with workplace trauma and workplace-related situational phobias can be an effective solution to prevent anxiety disorders in healthcare workers working in ED.

Objective: To assess how children's myopia affects the psychological state of their parents, especially their anxiety levels, and its related factors.
Methods: Using a cross-sectional case series design, this study employed the Beck Anxiety Inventory (BAI) to assess the anxiety status of parents of myopic children who visited Beijing Children's Hospital from May to August 2024. Data were statistically analyzed using Chi-square test, t-test, and analysis of variance, and Spearman correlation analysis was used to explore the relationship between myopia and anxiety.

Objective: This study aims to investigate the risk factors for severe postpartum hemorrhage (SPPH) in patients with placenta accreta spectrum (PAS) undergoing cesarean delivery, despite the prophylactic use of resuscitative endovascular balloon occlusion of the aorta (REBOA).
Materials And Methods: We conducted a retrospective case-control study on PAS patients who underwent cesarean delivery with prophylactic REBOA at the First Affiliated Hospital of Chongqing Medical University from January 2017 to December 2021. Prophylactic REBOA placement was determined by a prenatal ultrasound scoring system.

Background: The process of assessing and allocating nursing staff, as well as evaluating performance, relies heavily on nursing workload, which is strongly associated with patient safety outcomes. Nevertheless, most previous studies have utilized cross-sectional data collection methods, which limit the precision of workload prediction. Static workload models do not incorporate longitudinal changes in influential factors, potentially resulting in delayed or erroneous nursing management decisions and ultimately causing imbalances in nurses' workload.
