Summary: This study aimed to describe the long-term trends in health care utilization for employees with work-related mental health problems and develop multivariable prognostic models for long-term mental health care utilization. The results showed that the utilization rates for general practitioners, psychiatrists/psychologists, and psychiatric hospitals were relatively stable in the 2 years before and after assessment, but remained elevated for psychiatrists/psychologists and psychiatric hospitals 3-5 years after assessment.

Summary: This study aimed to investigate the distribution of temperaments and mood spectrum symptoms among workers exposed to occupational stress and suffering from different psychiatric disorders (AD, MDE). The results suggest that MDE patients had higher scores in psychopathological symptoms and mood spectrum compared to the AD group. The hyperthymic temperament was more frequent in the AD group and negatively correlated or unrelated to psychopathological symptoms severity and perceived stress levels.

Summary: Remote work was found to reduce psychological and physical stress responses, but full-remote work of 5 days a week was associated with decreased work productivity. This suggests that changing work styles can have positive effects on mental health even after the end of the pandemic.

Summary: This study meta-analyzed the relationships between employee recovery, demands, resources, well-being, and performance, revealing generally positive relationships between recovery and resources, well-being, and performance as well as a negative relationship with demands. The size and consistency of observed effects differed markedly based on the conceptualization utilized, while recovery experiences and the state of being recovered showed substantial temporal consistency.

Summary: Work-related coping behaviour and experience patterns (WCEP) refers to the personal experience with occupational stress and typical responses for coping. This review, based on 69 references, examines the findings on WCEP and its correlates in university students. The results consistently show that female students, teacher education students, and those with insufficient support are at greater risk for vulnerability to burnout and occupational health issues. Furthermore, students assigned to these patterns exhibit negative characteristics and impaired health, while the healthy ambitious pattern is associated with desirable correlates. However, further research is needed to increase the generalizability of the findings beyond the German speaking population.

Summary: The study found that work-related repetitive thoughts before sleep, especially worries about the next day, are associated with impaired objective and subjective sleep indicators, indicating that these cognitive processes related to work should be addressed in strategies aimed at preventing and treating sleep disturbances.

Summary: Studies show that both disadvantaged socioeconomic position (SEP) and psychosocial stress at work are associated with an increased risk of cardiovascular disease (CVD). However, it is not clear if the effect of work stress on CVD varies by SEP. Analyzing data from a French population-based cohort study, it was found that both disadvantaged SEP and work stress contribute to higher CVD risk, but there was no clear evidence of an effect modification.

Summary: This study investigated the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic and lockdown measures on the stress levels of company directors. The findings revealed that directors of larger companies were more susceptible to stress, with the retail trade, wholesale trade, nursing homes, pharmacies, and IT activities experiencing the most significant increases in stress levels during the lockdown period.

Summary: The study found a decrease in the incidence of work-related accidents and ill-health across all groups of causes analyzed, except for external causes of morbidity and mortality and factors influencing health status and contact with health services. Reductions were observed in different economic activities and severity groups. The highest reduction after the introduction of the Accident Prevention Factor was in manufacturing and production. Further progress in accident prevention and occupational health is still needed in various work environments.

Summary: Work-related stress is an individual's reaction to work characteristics and can impact mental and physical health. Many people use ineffective coping strategies, while stress reduction programs can help manage and reduce stress effectively. The most successful interventions are often based on mindfulness.

Summary: This study aims to contribute to the advancement of psychosocial risk assessment by adapting the risk matrix approach from physical to psychosocial hazards. The researchers compared existing methods of psychosocial risk evaluation and developed a theoretical framework that allows for the assessment of psychosocial risk using a risk matrix. The proposed 3x3 risk matrix scales the probability and severity of psychosocial risk assessment.

Summary: The study aimed to evaluate the neurodevelopmental outcomes of extremely premature babies at the age of 2 and determine the relationship between rehabilitation and various factors. The results showed that 65% of children had correct neurodevelopmental outcomes at age 2, with a majority not needing rehabilitation. There was no statistically significant relationship between prematurity, birth weight, asphyxia, and rehabilitation in the first 2 years of life.

Summary: This study demonstrates the prognostic value of 'red flags' in developmental milestones in extremely premature babies, indicating an ability to detect early signs of risk of developing CP and ASD at 9 months. The 'red flags' present at 9 months predict normal or delayed development, and the risk of CP and ASD, suggesting their potential use in everyday medical practice.

Summary: The study revealed that nurse anaesthetists typically perceive their self-efficacy level as upper moderate and exhibit high scores in conscientiousness and extraversion, and low scores in neuroticism. Individuals with high conscientiousness, extraversion, and openness to experience tend to have higher self-efficacy scores. The relationship between personality traits and experiencing job stress was demonstrated, with conscientiousness and extraversion being closely related to self-efficacy.

Summary: The study aimed to assess the prevalence of poor self-rated health and pain, compare these factors, and identify determinants of them in mothers of healthy children and children needing ambulatory observation or hospitalization. It was found that mothers of healthy children and those with a history of disease had significant differences in self-rated health and pain, and poor self-rated health coincided with severe maximum pain in all groups. Additionally, mothers of children with a history of disease showed associations with anxiety levels.

Summary: This study aimed to evaluate the health-related quality of life and stress levels of patients receiving home mechanical ventilation (HMV) and investigate the relationship between quality of life and stress levels through multiple regression analysis. A survey was conducted on 100 patients treated with HMV in Poland using the WHOQOL-BREF questionnaire and Perceived Stress Scale (PSS-10). Findings showed that 26% of patients assessed their quality of life as bad or very bad, and 34% as good or very good. Stress levels measured with the PSS-10 Scale were high. The stress levels of patients with neurological disorders were significantly higher than those with pulmonological disorders. The study concludes that higher stress levels in patients are associated with lower quality of life in specific domains and that improving living conditions for HMV patients can enhance their quality of life.

Summary: Through a systematic review and meta-analysis, the predictive value of suPAR for acute kidney injury (AKI) was evaluated. The results showed that increasing suPAR levels are associated with the occurrence of AKI, suggesting that suPAR might act as a novel biomarker for AKI in clinical practice.

Summary: The objective of this study was to evaluate the cardiotoxicity caused by anthracyclines in rats treated with Carvedilol and Dexrazoxane. The results showed that the combination treatment did not have significant advantages in terms of cardiac function, morphology, biochemical changes, and systemic toxicity. Therefore, there is no justification for using a simultaneous treatment of Dexrazoxane and Carvedilol in Doxorubicin-induced cardiotoxicity.
