Summary: This study examined the job demands-resources profiles and work capabilities of special education teachers in Namibia and their impact on work engagement and intention to leave. Four profiles were identified: resourceful job, demanding job, poor job, and rich job. Poor job was negatively associated with capability use, while resourceful and rich jobs were related to development of knowledge and skills, involvement in decision-making, relationship building, and goal setting. The results showed that job experience was negatively related to five out of seven capabilities. Resourceful and rich jobs, as well as capabilities, significantly predicted work engagement and intention to leave.

Summary: This study examines the prevalence of nurse burnout in the Peri-Operative and Labor & Delivery settings before and during the COVID-19 pandemic and its effect on telomere length, a cellular biomarker. The findings indicate that nurse burnout is widespread in healthcare, and nurses currently experience high levels of burnout. Furthermore, the study reveals that nurses during the COVID-19 pandemic have shorter telomere lengths compared to before. Proper measures should be taken to reduce burnout symptoms and improve nurses' physical and psychological health.
