Summary: Working in the nursing sector is accompanied by great physical and mental health burdens. It is necessary to develop target-oriented, sustainable profession-specific support and health promotion measures for nurses. Research on setting-specific differences of nurses' health problems and violence experiences is insufficient currently.

Summary: This study aims to understand the factors affecting compassionate care faced by intensivists in the intensive care unit (ICU). The results demonstrate that conflicts between patient choices and suggested medical care, institutional/work constraints restricting compassionate care, and personal variables influencing compassionate care are the major factors affecting intensive care physicians' ability to provide compassionate care.

Summary: This cross-sectional study found an association between EHR time and some measures of ambulatory care quality. Although increased EHR time is associated with burnout, it may represent a level of thoroughness or communication that enhances certain outcomes. Future studies should focus on payment models, workflows, and technologies that enable high-quality ambulatory care delivery while minimizing EHR burden.

Summary: This study aimed to examine the associations between maternal mental health and involvement in developmental care in the NICU. The results showed that there were no significant correlations between maternal mental health issues and engagement in developmental care activities. Therefore, universal screening for psychological distress is necessary to accurately detect symptoms in mothers of hospitalized preterm infants.

Summary: This case describes the concerns and responses of a child's mother and grandmother regarding a request for evaluation at the developmental and behavioral pediatrics clinic. Donor Society members have privileges of early appointments and medical services, while patients receiving public assistance and living in underserved areas have longer waiting times. How to respond to such a request and mitigate inequalities in the healthcare system are the challenges faced by the clinic.

Summary: Many neonatal intensive care units (NICUs) are facing a critical point where deaths following the limitation of life-supporting treatments exceed those following unsuccessful resuscitations. Furthermore, many surviving infants still require intensive support. This article argues for the implementation of advance care planning (ACP) in the NICU setting by examining the current state of parental needs for decisional support and serious illness, and how ACP could address the limitations in pediatric palliative care and decision-making in the newborn period.

Summary: The national average turnover rate of registered nurses in the United States was approximately 17.8% in 2019, costing hospitals an average of $270,800 for each percentage increase in turnover. While burnout is known to contribute to turnover intention among nurses, studies on its relationship with turnover in neonatal intensive care environments are limited. Although no direct relationship between burnout and turnover was found in the NICU, burnout may have other negative consequences.

Summary: The study found strong beliefs in providing Family-Centered Care (FCC) in the NICU, but participants also expressed concerns that inadequate staffing and inappropriate assignments could lead to care rationing. Further research is needed to explore factors contributing to care rationing in this setting.

Summary: The study found that state-level medical marijuana laws (MMLs) in the U.S. have a small impact on birth outcomes, with no significant effects on gestation period or Apgar scores. While there is a slight increase in birth weight, the effects of MMLs are practically small. The study also showed that there is little variation in the effects of MMLs across different socioeconomic subgroups, and no lagged negative effects on birth outcomes in children born in MML states following the legalization of medical marijuana.
