Aim: Based on the Job Demands-Resources model, this study aimed to assess the predictive effect of workload on emotional exhaustion and test the buffering effect of three types of work resources (workplace cohesion, work control, and workplace support) on the relationship between workload and emotional exhaustion among older Japanese assistant care workers.
Methods: We analyzed data from a national survey on the work features and work-related outcomes of 1601 older assistant care workers working in geriatric health services facilities in Japan. Demographic characteristics, workload, work resources, and emotional exhaustion were analyzed. A hierarchical multiple regression analysis and simple slope test were conducted.
Results: Workload had a significant main effect in predicting emotional exhaustion (β = 0.337, P < 0.001). Workplace cohesion buffered the negative effect of workload on emotional exhaustion (interaction between workload and workplace cohesion: β = -0.097, P = 0.002). Work control (interaction between workload and work control: β = -0.015, P = 0.585) and workplace support (interaction between workload and workplace support: β = 0.025, P = 0.391) had no buffering effect on the negative impact of workload on emotional exhaustion.
Conclusions: Regulating workload and promoting workplace cohesion might be effective strategies for preventing burnout among elderly workers. Investigations into the occupational stress of elderly workers from diverse cultures and work contexts are needed. Geriatr Gerontol Int 2025; ••: ••-••.

Objective: This study described therapists' delivery of six child mental health evidence-based practices (EBPs) over 33 months during the sustainment phase of a system-driven implementation aimed at improving access to EBPs in community settings.
Method: Seven hundred seventy-seven therapists and 162 program leaders delivering at least one of six EBPs of interest completed surveys, and these data were matched to therapist administrative claims data. Survival analyses examined (a) therapists' discontinuation of delivery of all Los Angeles County Department of Mental Health direct client services (i.
Physician Engagement in Addressing Health-Related Social Needs and Burnout.

The Heller School for Social Policy and Management, Brandeis University, Waltham, Massachusetts.
Importance: Previous research suggests that a greater capacity of health care organizations to address patients' health-related social needs (HRSNs) is associated with lower physician burnout. However, individual physician-level engagement in addressing HRSNs has not been fully characterized, and its association with physician burnout remains understudied.
Objective: To characterize physicians' engagement in addressing HRSNs and examine its association with burnout.
