Summary: The study compares four emotional exhaustion measures and finds that the 5-item EE scale exhibits better psychometric and convergent validity compared to the 9-item scale. This finding is significant for global wellbeing research as it enhances access and understanding of a well-being metric, while also reducing respondent burden. Additionally, the 5-item and 9-item scales show stronger convergent validity compared to the single item EE metrics.

Summary: This study assesses the prevalence, contributing factors, and potential interventions to reduce burnout among medical professionals in the Neurocritical Care Society (NCS). Results show that over half of the participants meet the criteria for burnout.

Action is needed from hospital, organizational, local, and federal governmental leaders and society as a whole to address and ameliorate burnout among healthcare professionals.

Summary: The study proposes an innovative model that integrates the Theory of Planned Behaviour (TPB) with its main extensions to explain purchase intention for organic vegetables. Based on a survey conducted in four European countries, the results show that purchase intention is primarily influenced by positive moral attitude towards such consumption. This study provides relevant information on the relationships between antecedents of purchase intention and can guide interventions to encourage consumers to choose organic food.
