: Previous studies conducted in sub-Saharan African countries have concentrated on examining the challenges of nursing training and the organizational commitment of healthcare professionals, with little attention paid to exploring the mechanisms that contribute to reducing nurses' job stress. Consequently, the present study addresses a significant gap in the literature by offering an overview of the factors contributing to understanding job stress among nurses in Angola. This study aimed to analyze the direct and indirect relationship between workaholism and job stress with job satisfaction and psychological capital mediating this relationship. : Using the quantitative methodology with a cross-sectional design, a questionnaire was administered to 340 nurses (172 men and 168 women). : The results confirmed that workaholism is positively related to job stress and that job satisfaction and psychological capital serially mediate the relationship between workaholism and job stress. These findings highlight the importance of fostering job satisfaction and psychological capital by establishing favorable work environments and promoting nurses' physical and emotional well-being. In addition, these results may encourage healthcare leaders to create well-designed break areas for nurses to take restorative breaks.

This model is called the Midwifery Continuity of Carer (MCoC).

Individuals with comorbid rapid eye movement (REM) sleep behaviour disorder (RBD) and neurotrauma (NT; defined by traumatic brain injury and post-traumatic stress disorder) have an earlier age of RBD symptom onset, increased RBD-related symptom severity and more neurological features indicative of prodromal synucleinopathy compared to RBD only. An early sign of neurodegenerative condition is autonomic dysfunction, which we sought to evaluate by examining heart rate variability during sleep. Participants with overnight polysomnography were recruited from the Veterans Affairs Portland Health Care System.

Background: Advocates for victims of sexual assault are exposed to the traumatic events of victims, which can lead to occupational stress. Occupational stress specific to advocates who support victims can cause compassion fatigue and burnout, which can worsen their mental health. Furthermore, such exposure could lead to compassion satisfaction, which, in turn, may buffer compassion fatigue and burnout.

Aging is driven by fundamental mechanisms like oxidative stress, telomere shortening and changes in DNA methylation, which together prepare the ground for age-related diseases. Botanical extracts, rich in bioactive phytoconstituents, represent a promising resource for developing therapies that target these mechanisms to promote healthy aging. This study explores the geroprotective potential of Monarda didyma L.
