the Netherlands, absenteeism and reduced productivity due to work disability lead to high yearly
costs reaching almost 5% of the gross national product. To reduce the economic burden of sick leave and reduced
productivity, different employability interventions for work-disabled employees or employees at risk of work
disability have been developed. Within this study, called ‘CASE-study’ (Cost-effectiveness Analysis of Sustainable
Employability), five different employability interventions directed at work disabled employees with divergent health
complaints will be analysed on their effectiveness and cost-effectiveness. This paper describes a consistent and
transparent methodological design to do so.
Work-Related Musculoskeletal Disorders among Office Workers in Shahid Behesh...Health Educators Inc
Background: Work-related Musculoskeletal Disorders (WMSD) is one of most prevalent health
problems among individuals with limited physical activity. This study aimed to assess this problem
among office workers in Shahid Beheshti University of Medical Sciences in Tehran, Iran.
Methods and Material: Totally, 42 eligible office workers from three health centers related to
Shahid Beheshti University of Medical Sciences (SBUMS) between May, 2016-September, 2016
were recruited in this cross-sectional study. Of all these individuals, 420 office workers (response
rate 99.2%) were satisfied to participate in this study. In Standard Nordic questionnaire were used to
collect data. Collected data were entered into SPSS 16 and analyzed through descriptive and
analytical tests.
Results: Totally, 420 office workers with a mean age of 37.1 ± 8.03 were examined in this study. The
most prevalent WMSPD was lower back pain (N = 56, 13.3%) followed by neck pain (N = 46, 11.0%),
wrist pain (N = 43, 10.2%), hip pain (N = 6, 1.4%) and pain in heel of foot (N = 17, 4%). The variables
such as age (χ2 = 24.99: P = 0.003); gender (χ2 = 0.544; P = 0.028); employment status (χ2 = 9.837: P =
0.007); duration of pain (χ2 = 1.55l P = 0.001) and duration of treatment (χ2 = 1.006; P=0.001) were
significantly related to WMSD.
Conclusions: Since the WMSD are prevalent among office workers of SBUMS, designing proper
interventional studies are recommended. However, doing more researches to confirm the results of this
study is guaranteed.
Abstract— If job satisfaction is there in employees, work done by these employees is usually of better quality in comparison where the employees are not satisfied with their jobe. So this study to assess job satisfaction and influence of demographic variables on job satisfaction, this study was carried out on 105 doctors of teaching hospitals. Questionnaire method of data collection was adopted. Job satisfaction was measured by six domains: Organizational functioning, Interpersonal relationship, Financial incentives, Non-financial incentives, Physical facilities and Working conditions. Study observed that over all, doctors were moderately satisfied with their job. Domains such as Interpersonal relationship and Working conditions, doctors were highly satisfied, whereas rest of the domains: Organizational functioning, Financial incentives, Non-financial incentives, and Physical facilities doctors were moderately satisfied. It is important to note that even though overall satisfaction is moderate, there were few components, where doctors were highly satisfied were - Communication system between patients and doctors, Involvement in decision making in the department, Rules and regulations of the institution, relationship between the department colleagues and other department colleagues, Provision for leave encashment, reward given for research work, workload of clinical aspect and workload of teaching aspect. Age and sex both shown significant association on level of satisfaction where as experience, designation and marital status of the doctors have not shown significant association.
A cross-sectional study was performed on 422 nursing and midwifery personnel of Zahedan training hospitals in 2016 to determine the occupational stress and its related factors. Data were collected by a demographic questionnaire and HSE Job Stress Questionnaire. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, independent t-test, one-way ANOVA and Pearson correlation coefficient. The software used to analyze the data was SPSS 17. The findings showed that the mean ± standard deviation occupational stress was 114.45 ± 16.16. 4% of subjects had moderate stress, 79.6% had normal stress and 16.4% had no stress. There was no significant relationship between age, gender, education, work experience, job position, ward and employment status with occupational stress, but there was a significant relationship between marital status and occupational stress. Based on the results of this study, the occupational stress level in nursing and midwifery personnel working in educational hospitals in Zahedan was relatively favorable and only a small percentage of people suffered from moderate stress.

A Persuasive mHealth Behavioral Change Intervention for Promoting Physical Ac...Sanaul Haque
Background: Employees in an office setting are more likely to remain physically inactive. Physical inactivity has become one of the major barriers to overcoming the risk factors for anxiety, depression, coronary heart disease, certain cancers, and type 2
diabetes. Currently, there is a gap in mobile health (mHealth) apps to promote physical activity (PA) for workers in the workplace. Studies on behavior change theories have concluded that health apps generally lack the use of theoretical constructs.
Objective: The objective of this study was to study the feasibility of a persuasive app aimed at encouraging PA among employees and to understand the motivational aspects behind the implementation of mHealth apps among office workers.
Methods: A 4-week study using a mixed methods (quantitative and qualitative) design was conducted with office-based employees in cities in 4 countries: Oulu, Finland; Carlow, Ireland; London, United Kingdom; and Dhaka, Bangladesh. Of the 220 invited participants (experimental group, n=115; control group, n=105), 84 participated (experimental group, n=56; control group, n=28), consisting of working-age volunteers working in an office setting. Participants used 2 different interventions: The experimental group used an mHealth app for PA motivation, and the control group used a paper diary. The purpose was to motivate employees to engage in healthier behavior regarding the promotion of PA in the workplace. A user-centered design process was followed to design, develop, and evaluate the mHealth app, incorporating self-determination theory (SDT) and using game elements. The paper diary had no specific theory-driven approach, design technique, nor game elements.
Results: Compliance with app usage remained relatively low, with 27 participants (experimental group, n=20; control group,
n=7) completing the study. The results support the original hypothesis that the mHealth app would help increase PA (ie, promoting daily walking in the workplace) in comparison to a paper diary (P=.033). The mHealth app supported 2 of the basic SDT psychological needs, namely autonomy (P=.004) and competence (P=.014), but not the needs of relatedness (P=.535).
Conclusions: The SDT-based mHealth application motivated employees to increase their PA in the workplace. However,
compliance with app usage remained low. Future research should further develop the app based on user feedback and test it in a larger sample.

Background: This study explored the relationship between work stress, workload, and quality of life (QOL) among rehabilitation professionals. Methods: This study applied a cross-sectional design. A questionnaire was distributed to rehabilitation professionals—comprising physicians in the rehabilitation department, occupational therapists, physical therapists, speech-language pathologists, and audiologists—working in teaching hospitals. A total of 152 valid responses were collected, yielding a valid response rate of 93.8%. Results: For female respondents, factors affecting the QOL were educational level, type of professional license, length of service, average leisure hours per week, expense on leisure per week, work stress, and workload (all p < .01). For male respondents, no factor reached statistical significance (p > .001). Conclusion: This study provides the following suggestions to hospital administrators: establishing a stress-relief helpline, evaluating employees’ workload, regularly arranging stress management training courses, implementing employee health promotion programs, and promoting proactive strategies to improve employee physical and mental health.

Abstract
Objective: To evaluate an e-mental health (EMH) approach to workers’ health surveillance (WHS) targeting work functioning
(WF) and mental health (MH) of healthcare professionals in a randomised controlled trial.
Methods: Nurses and allied health professionals (N = 1140) were cluster-randomised at ward level to the intervention (IG) or
control group (CG). The intervention consisted of two parts: (a) online screening and personalised feedback on impaired WF
and MH, followed by (b) a tailored offer of self-help EMH interventions. CG received none of these parts. Primary outcome
was impaired WF (Nurses Work Functioning Questionnaire), assessed at baseline and after three and six months. Analyses
were performed in the positively screened subgroup (i) and in all participants (ii).
Results: Participation rate at baseline was 32% (NIG = 178; NCG = 188). Eighty-two percent screened positive for at least mild
impairments in WF and/or MH (NIG = 139; NCG = 161). All IG-participants (N = 178) received part (a) of the intervention, nine
participants (all positively screened, 6%) followed an EMH intervention to at least some extent. Regarding the subgroup of
positively screened participants (i), both IG and CG improved over time regarding WF (non-significant between-group
difference). After six months, 36% of positively screened IG-participants (18/50) had a relevant WF improvement compared
to baseline, versus 28% (32/115) of positively screened CG-participants (non-significant difference). In the complete sample
(ii), IG and CG improved over time but IG further improved between three and six months while CG did not (significant
interaction effect).
Conclusions: In our study with a full compliance rate of 6% and substantial drop-out leading to a small and underpowered
sample, we could not demonstrate that an EMH-approach to WHS is more effective to improve WF and MH than a control
group. The effect found in the complete sample of participants is not easily interpreted. Reported results may be useful for
future meta-analytic work.

Caring has been the cornerstone of nursing since the time of its
conception. It has been the legacy that each nurse has been instilled
to all those they have interactions with. Many nursing experts have
looked into caring as a science of nursing. It has been well studied
by many nursing experts. All of these prove that nurses’ best asset
is to make others feel that they are ‘cared for’. However, very few
have stated that behaviors that nurses possess [1].
Occupational Health Nurse’s in Champagne County from the Occupational Health ...Crimsonpublisherscojnh
The Early XXIth marked the beginning sof a new era for nurses
working in Occupational Health Ward. They won’t come any more
to this service to end up their career by only doing routine analysis
or vaccinations. In France, it was as from as 20 years ago, that a
specific occupational health diploma was created for nurses. Work
evolution and nurse skills’ recognition have never stopped growing.
The permanent decline of demographics in occupational
health physicians was the subject of considerable discussion
since ten years. The best solution has been to recruit nurses in the
occupational health wards. The aim of occupational health services
is to assess and identify risks for employees at their workstation
and then, to put forward new ideas to the company so it could
improve by job adjustment. In the past, there were only medical
consultations by physicians. Nowadays, occupational health nurses’
consultations may take stock, at first, on the state of employees’
health. These nurses’ consultations identify the risks of the job
and ensure that the company can offer personal and collective
protective equipment (primary prevention). Furthermore, the
nurse’s “paramedical” skills enable to search effectively for
symptoms suggestive of disorders that are likely to be related to job
exposures (secondary prevention).
The occupational health physician must accomplish many tasks.
Then, he cannot ensure alone, in particular, all the appointments. In
fact, he needs to refocus on its main functions, with an emphasis on
the missions that require a high degree of medical expertise.
The missions entrusted to nurses have evolved as much as the
doctor-nurse duo has improved in this particular societal context.
The nurse must perform these consultations according to a protocol
established by the doctor. Therefore, occupational health physician
and nurse must share and exchange informations on employee
files. They also study together the implementation of actions in the
workplace environment.
The Risk Factors that Affecting the Anterior Cruciate Ligament (ACL) Injury i...Crimsonpublisherscojnh
The purpose of the present study was to determine of some risk factors influencing of non-contact Anterior Cruciate Ligament (ACL) injury in Soccer, basketball and Taekwondo players. If an athlete injured anterior cruciate ligament the most important thing is to identify factors that affect the injury. However, a growing research implicates hormonal, anatomical, environmental and neuromuscular factors that may predispose athletes to these injuries. For this research selected 510 athlete for assess ACL injury factors by two different methods
a. Questionnaire and
b. Interview that information collected among athletes who were play soccer, basketball and taekwondo.
Our results indicate 61.4% of ACL injury occurred in practice time and 38.6% of ACL injury was during competition. Also our finding showed that 69% mechanism of injury was non-contact, 4.7% via accident and 26.3% with unknown reason. Furthermore dynamic alignment at the time of the injury included: Knee-in & Toe- out 44%, Knee-out & Toe-in 22.5 and Hyperextension 11.1%.
The ACL prevents the femur from moving forward during weight bearing. It also helps to prevent rotation of the joint. Injury of the ACL most often occurs when an athlete is pivoting, decelerating suddenly or landing from a jump. The injury can also be caused by another player falling across the knee. ACL injuries are, probably, the most common devastating knee ligament injuries amongst sports persons. Usually these injuries are isolated, mainly in non-contact sports, but many often are a part of more complex ligamentous injuries. They occur more often in contact sports, such as soccer, basketball or taekwondo. In conclusion, our study produced strong evidence in support of a significant some factors influencing of ACL injury in Soccer, basketball and Taekwondo players.

Nurses in today's dynamically evolving health care profession are expected to have the knowledge and expertise for caring for the wide diversity of people that comprise the patient populations in the hospitals and clinical environments around the globe. This article presents a unique and special international program that promotes the acquisition of knowledge by novice nursing students concerning the care of a diversity of pediatric patients through having the mentoring and guidance of nursing clinical leaders. The program has been established for eleven years and is based with two university schools of nursing and two children's hospitals in the United States and the United Kingdom. The purpose of this article is to showcase this program and introduce a vehicle for introducing nursing students to caring for diverse people through successful programs such as this one
The profession of nursing has become globally based and nurses are now expected to practice with a wealth of knowledge regarding the increasing diversity of the world's population and emerging cultures. Nurses that practice both in the United States, as well as abroad throughout the world, are learning about the customs of people of multiple cultures and emerging diversities. The Sullivan Report on diversity in the health care professions additionally showcased the need for an increase in diversity of the members in the health professions, as well as for those in the health professions to engage their knowledge in learning and becoming culturally competent in understanding the world's dynamically changing population [2]. Nurses in today's dramatically evolving health care environment must be aware of cultural differences and similarities in patient populations and be prepared for caring for patients from a wealth of cultures, as well as unique backgrounds

Multiple Chemical Sensitivity (MCS) and Electromagnetic Hypersensitivity (EHS...Crimsonpublisherscojnh
Multiple chemical sensitivity (MCS) and electromagnetic hypersensitivity are disabling conditions hallmarked by adverse reactions to chemicals and electromagnetic frequencies at levels generally considered safe. MCS is underpinned by a vicious cycle of escalating sensitivity initiated by exposure to seven classes of neurotoxicants. Our case study concerns a family sensitized to foods, chemicals and electromagnetic radiation after heavy exposure to phenoxy herbicides and organophosphate pesticides. Also addressed are a number of conditions frequently co-morbid with MCS, which also frequently involve an environmental sensitivity component-which include migraine, rheumatoid arthritis, irritable bowel syndrome, ADHD, hypertension and certain cardiac problems.
Multiple chemical sensitivity (MCS) and electromagnetic hypersensitivity (EHS) are disabling medical conditions with ramifications for not only affected individuals and their families but for wider society as well. Sensitised individuals react adversely to everyday chemicals and/or electromagnetic frequencies at levels customarily considered innocuous; indeed, their reactive threshold may be orders of magnitude below the norm. In one instance the difference in electromagnetic sensitivity was estimated at 1010 [15]. This woman also reacted to minute traces of lemon oils picked up by a family member; he had merely been in a room with a bowl of lemons, yet hyperosmia-a hallmark of MCS-allowed her to detect their presence, and hypersensitivity to react to it

Nurses' Spiritual Well-Being and Patients' Spiritual Care in Iran by Sepideh ...Crimsonpublisherscojnh
Spirituality is known to play a significant role in patients' well-being and quality of life. Responding to patients' spiritual needs is considered to be an essential element of high quality medical care. Consequently, it seems logical that there is a professional requirement for nurses to achieve competence in the delivery of spiritual care. This study aims to examine the impact of nurses' spiritual well-being on patients' spiritual care. A total of 210 nurses working in critical care units completed Basic Psychological Needs questionnaire and Spiritual Care Competence Scale. 5.8% of nurses provided spiritual care at a poor level; 53.4% at an optimal level; and 39.8% at a highly desirable level. There were negative significant relations between the average scores of spiritual well-being with: age (p<0.04); and clinical experience (p<0.02).
There were positive significant relations between the receipt of training by nurses in the principles of spirituality with: the level of spiritual well-being (p<0.003); and the level of spiritual care (p<0.02). Overall, a significant relationship was observed between spiritual well-being and spiritual care (p<0.001). The study has demonstrated that there was a positive relationship between nurses' spiritual well-being and the provision of spiritual care. Implementation of strategies that might develop spiritual well-being in nurses would be of great benefit in catering for the spiritual needs of patients

Analysis of Relationship Between Associate Degree Nursing Student’s Self-Conf...Crimsonpublisherscojnh
Increasing patient acuity and complex health care demand the need for preparing competent graduate nurses. However, reduced availability of clinical setting exists translating to difficulties obtaining patient care experiences for nursingstudents. This ongoing issue demands nurse educators to seek alternative teaching strategies. High-fidelity simulation experiences can provide learning environment very similar to the clinical setting. The purpose of this descriptive co-relational quantitative research study was to examine what relationships, if any, existed between associate degree nursing students' self-confidence in learning and their perceived presence of five instructional design characteristics in a high-fidelity simulation learning experience.
The nursing students' perceived experiences were measured by the NLN (National League for Nursing) Self-Confidence in Learning and Simulation Design Survey instruments. Study participants were asked to rate the level of importance of each variable (Self-Confidence and Simulation Design Instruments) on a Likert scale with the following rating: 1= strongly disagree to 5= strongly agree. The results of this study identified students' perceptions on the importance of realism and debriefing (feedback/guided reflection) in a simulation experience. Additional findings highlighted the importance to students of definitive objectives and information, which influence their self-confidence in learning within a simulation learning environment.
It is evident the use of simulation as an educational tool is becoming more prevalent in the health care settings. This is especially important in response to the growing shortage of accessible clinical sites and available faculty. The findings of this study support the need for more quantitative research to evaluate the use of high-fidelity simulation experiences on nursing students learning outcomes

Drinking water distribution system biofilms were investigated for the presence of hygienically relevant microorganisms. In this study we collected four PVC pipes from different Drinking water and studied the biofilm morphology, Characterizing the formation of biofilm on Polyvinyl chloride (PVC) pipe lines were analyzed by using the techniques, X-ray diffraction (XRD), Raman microscopy (RMS), X-rayfluorescence spectroscopy (XRF), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), and Scanning electron microscopy (SEM EDAX). Biofilm formation in drinking water PVC pipelines is due to many factors including pH, temperature, salt etc. In this study, microbiological aspects of biofilm formation and their role on electrochemical studies are presented.
We report the design and evaluation of PCR primers 63f and 1387r for amplification of 16SrRNA genes from bacterial isolates, Phylogenetic analysis of partially sequenced 16SrRNA gene sequences revealed the diversity of bacterial and fungal strains in the PVC pipeline 7 different bacterial phyla were detected. In addition, localized biofilm of the PVC pipeline in the presence of the consortia was observed by scanning electron microscopy analysis and morphology was seen in EPI fluorescence microscopy, The dominant bacterial species identified in the PVC pipeline biofilm samples were Sphingobacterium sp respectively, several types of bacteria may be involved in biofilm arising and the potential role of each species in biofilm formation is discussed. Therefore, calcium carbonate and the allied calcium compounds are responsible for the biofilm formation in PVC pipes and these inferences may lead to develop effective water purification measures

Cardiorespiratory Arrest Associated with Propranolol use in Thyrotoxic Heart ...Crimsonpublisherscojnh
Beta-blockers are commonly used to treat tachyarrhythmia's in thyroid storm. However, there have been several cases in which cardiovascular collapse has been reported after administration of Propranolol [1]. This phenomenon seemed to be more common in Chinese [1]. The article presented an unusual case. A 14-year-old girl with thyrotoxicosis presented with wide complex tachycardia in an electrocardiogram (ECG). The rhythm was converted to a trial tachycardia after cardio version. Propranolol was started to control atrial tachycardia. The girl developed cardiorespiratory arrest soon after taking Propranolol. She required high-dose inotropic support and the use of an intra-aortic balloon pump after resuscitation. Propranolol should be used highly cautiously in patients with thyrotoxic heart failure; cardiac assessment can be performed before medication prescription; short-acting beta-blockers may be a safer option for these patients.

A Concept Analysis of Interdisciplinary Collaboration in Mental Healthcare by...Crimsonpublisherscojnh
Given the complexity of bio-psycho-social-spiritual influences, people with mental illness should be provided with multifaceted treatment and multi-system intervention. Mental health care teams are therefore expected to achieve interdisciplinary collaboration (IDC) to ensure delivery of safe, high-quality and well coordinated health care. There is increasing evidence to suggest that IDC leads to better patient outcomes. A growing body of research has shown that IDC is more effective than standard care in terms of clinical outcomes such as improved quality of life and alleviated depressed mood in people with mental disorders-with reducing healthcare costs. Despite advances in research, there is still a lack of conceptual clarity of IDC, resulting in inconsistent models of care and inconsistent findings. The ambiguous conceptualization of IDC impedes the standardisation of evidence-based practice and also limits practical applicability and comparability. Thorough understanding of the meaning of IDC in the context of mental healthcare is of vital importance in guiding further studies and evidence-based practice

i3 Health is pleased to make the speaker slides from this activity available for use as a non-accredited self-study or teaching resource.
This slide deck presented by Dr. Kami Maddocks, Professor-Clinical in the Division of Hematology and
Associate Division Director for Ambulatory Operations
The Ohio State University Comprehensive Cancer Center, will provide insight into new directions in targeted therapeutic approaches for older adults with mantle cell lymphoma.
STATEMENT OF NEED
Mantle cell lymphoma (MCL) is a rare, aggressive B-cell non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL) accounting for 5% to 7% of all lymphomas. Its prognosis ranges from indolent disease that does not require treatment for years to very aggressive disease, which is associated with poor survival (Silkenstedt et al, 2021). Typically, MCL is diagnosed at advanced stage and in older patients who cannot tolerate intensive therapy (NCCN, 2022). Although recent advances have slightly increased remission rates, recurrence and relapse remain very common, leading to a median overall survival between 3 and 6 years (LLS, 2021). Though there are several effective options, progress is still needed towards establishing an accepted frontline approach for MCL (Castellino et al, 2022). Treatment selection and management of MCL are complicated by the heterogeneity of prognosis, advanced age and comorbidities of patients, and lack of an established standard approach for treatment, making it vital that clinicians be familiar with the latest research and advances in this area. In this activity chaired by Michael Wang, MD, Professor in the Department of Lymphoma & Myeloma at MD Anderson Cancer Center, expert faculty will discuss prognostic factors informing treatment, the promising results of recent trials in new therapeutic approaches, and the implications of treatment resistance in therapeutic selection for MCL.
Target Audience
Hematology/oncology fellows, attending faculty, and other health care professionals involved in the treatment of patients with mantle cell lymphoma (MCL).
Learning Objectives
1.) Identify clinical and biological prognostic factors that can guide treatment decision making for older adults with MCL
2.) Evaluate emerging data on targeted therapeutic approaches for treatment-naive and relapsed/refractory MCL and their applicability to older adults
3.) Assess mechanisms of resistance to targeted therapies for MCL and their implications for treatment selection

Flu Vaccine Alert in Bangalore Karnatakaaddon Scans
As flu season approaches, health officials in Bangalore, Karnataka, are urging residents to get their flu vaccinations. The seasonal flu, while common, can lead to severe health complications, particularly for vulnerable populations such as young children, the elderly, and those with underlying health conditions.
Dr. Vidisha Kumari, a leading epidemiologist in Bangalore, emphasizes the importance of getting vaccinated. "The flu vaccine is our best defense against the influenza virus. It not only protects individuals but also helps prevent the spread of the virus in our communities," he says.
This year, the flu season is expected to coincide with a potential increase in other respiratory illnesses. The Karnataka Health Department has launched an awareness campaign highlighting the significance of flu vaccinations. They have set up multiple vaccination centers across Bangalore, making it convenient for residents to receive their shots.
To encourage widespread vaccination, the government is also collaborating with local schools, workplaces, and community centers to facilitate vaccination drives. Special attention is being given to ensuring that the vaccine is accessible to all, including marginalized communities who may have limited access to healthcare.
Residents are reminded that the flu vaccine is safe and effective. Common side effects are mild and may include soreness at the injection site, mild fever, or muscle aches. These side effects are generally short-lived and far less severe than the flu itself.
Healthcare providers are also stressing the importance of continuing COVID-19 precautions. Wearing masks, practicing good hand hygiene, and maintaining social distancing are still crucial, especially in crowded places.
Protect yourself and your loved ones by getting vaccinated. Together, we can help keep Bangalore healthy and safe this flu season. For more information on vaccination centers and schedules, residents can visit the Karnataka Health Department’s official website or follow their social media pages.
Stay informed, stay safe, and get your flu shot today!
Recomendações da OMS sobre cuidados maternos e neonatais para uma experiência pós-natal positiva.
Em consonância com os ODS – Objetivos do Desenvolvimento Sustentável e a Estratégia Global para a Saúde das Mulheres, Crianças e Adolescentes, e aplicando uma abordagem baseada nos direitos humanos, os esforços de cuidados pós-natais devem expandir-se para além da cobertura e da simples sobrevivência, de modo a incluir cuidados de qualidade.
Estas diretrizes visam melhorar a qualidade dos cuidados pós-natais essenciais e de rotina prestados às mulheres e aos recém-nascidos, com o objetivo final de melhorar a saúde e o bem-estar materno e neonatal.
Uma “experiência pós-natal positiva” é um resultado importante para todas as mulheres que dão à luz e para os seus recém-nascidos, estabelecendo as bases para a melhoria da saúde e do bem-estar a curto e longo prazo. Uma experiência pós-natal positiva é definida como aquela em que as mulheres, pessoas que gestam, os recém-nascidos, os casais, os pais, os cuidadores e as famílias recebem informação consistente, garantia e apoio de profissionais de saúde motivados; e onde um sistema de saúde flexível e com recursos reconheça as necessidades das mulheres e dos bebês e respeite o seu contexto cultural.
Estas diretrizes consolidadas apresentam algumas recomendações novas e já bem fundamentadas sobre cuidados pós-natais de rotina para mulheres e neonatos que recebem cuidados no pós-parto em unidades de saúde ou na comunidade, independentemente dos recursos disponíveis.
É fornecido um conjunto abrangente de recomendações para cuidados durante o período puerperal, com ênfase nos cuidados essenciais que todas as mulheres e recém-nascidos devem receber, e com a devida atenção à qualidade dos cuidados; isto é, a entrega e a experiência do cuidado recebido. Estas diretrizes atualizam e ampliam as recomendações da OMS de 2014 sobre cuidados pós-natais da mãe e do recém-nascido e complementam as atuais diretrizes da OMS sobre a gestão de complicações pós-natais.
O estabelecimento da amamentação e o manejo das principais intercorrências é contemplada.
Recomendamos muito.
Vamos discutir essas recomendações no nosso curso de pós-graduação em Aleitamento no Instituto Ciclos.

Ethanol (CH3CH2OH), or beverage alcohol, is a two-carbon alcohol
that is rapidly distributed in the body and brain. Ethanol alters many
neurochemical systems and has rewarding and addictive properties. It
is the oldest recreational drug and likely contributes to more morbidity,
mortality, and public health costs than all illicit drugs combined. The
5th edition of the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders
(DSM-5) integrates alcohol abuse and alcohol dependence into a single
disorder called alcohol use disorder (AUD), with mild, moderate,
and severe subclassifications (American Psychiatric Association, 2013).
In the DSM-5, all types of substance abuse and dependence have been
combined into a single substance use disorder (SUD) on a continuum
from mild to severe. A diagnosis of AUD requires that at least two of
the 11 DSM-5 behaviors be present within a 12-month period (mild
AUD: 2–3 criteria; moderate AUD: 4–5 criteria; severe AUD: 6–11 criteria).
The four main behavioral effects of AUD are impaired control over
drinking, negative social consequences, risky use, and altered physiological
effects (tolerance, withdrawal). This chapter presents an overview
of the prevalence and harmful consequences of AUD in the U.S.,
the systemic nature of the disease, neurocircuitry and stages of AUD,
comorbidities, fetal alcohol spectrum disorders, genetic risk factors, and
pharmacotherapies for AUD.

involving others” coping profile [10]. Avoidance and suppression
coping profile was found to be correlated with depression, somatic
symptoms, negative thoughts among persons who had irritable
bowel syndrome [11], and low back pain with nurses was found to
be associated with the “changing point of view” profile [6].
People spend much of their life time at work. Working
conditions and environments have strong influences on job stress.
In that regard, it is vital to know how workers cope with stressors.
Therefore, basic data about the coping profiles of workers are
needed to plan intervention programs at the work place for
improving effective coping strategies. Also, this data is essential
for the development of valid and reliable measurements. Generally,
there are variety scales or questionnaires that measure coping
strategies which are used internationally but seldom in Turkey. For
example, the ways of coping questionnaire, COPE inventory, the
coping flexibility scale, the perceived ability to cope with trauma
[12] and Coping with Harassment Questionnaire [7] have been
used abroad. The Brief COPE scale also has been used widely in
research to assess coping strategies which contains 28 items and
14 two-item subscales [9,13-15]. Among coping measurements,
the Coping style scale has been used in Turkey which was derived
from Lazarus and Folkman’s Ways of Coping Inventory. However,
the main purpose of the scale was assessing students’ profiles but
it also has been used with a variety of members of the community
except workers. It contains 30 items and 5 subscales [16-22].
Among the coping profiles’ measurements, The Brief Stress Coping
Profile (BSCP) scale was developed with the purpose of measuring
coping profiles of workers. It has been used widely internationally
in many different studies [4,6,10,23,24]. The BSCP consist of 18
items and corresponds to various coping profiles [25].
Due to the lack of a well-established short recent coping profile
scale in Turkey, the study investigated the reliability and validity of
the Turkish version of the BSCP in the textile factory workers.
Method
Procedures and participants
The population group of the study consisted of 553 textile
workers from three textile factories in Istanbul, Turkey. The scale
was conducted in the factories by a researcher in February 2016.
Initial recruitment targeted all workers who were older than 18
years, had no diagnosed psychological or psychiatric diseases and
who were literate. However, only 540 workers fully completed the
questionnaire because 2 workers declined to participate, 3 of them
had a diagnosed psychological health problem, 3 workers submitted
incomplete questionnaires, 3 workers were illiterate and 2 workers
were on sick leave on the days that the data was collected. The
final sample included 294(54.4%) males and 246(45.6%) females.
The mean age of the participants was 33.34±10.22 years. Almost
79% of them graduated from elementary school and 19% of them
graduated from high school. Over 67% of them expressed their
economic condition as “good” and 25.6% of them expressed it as
“bad”. The average of daily working hours was 11.46±1.36.
Ethical consideration: The Ethics Committee of Istanbul
Medipol University approved the study procedure (approval no:
10840098-299).
Instrument
The brief stress coping profile
The BSCP consisted of 18 items rated on a 4-point scale (often,
sometimes, seldom, or never). It is a self-rating scale for assessing
workers’ coping profile. It was developed by Kageyama, Kobayashi,
Kawashima, & Kanamaru (2004) [25]. It has 6 subscale which are;
“Active solution (the item 1,2,3)”, “Seeking help for solution (the
item 4,5,6)”, “Changing mood (the item 7,8,9)”, “Changing a point
of view(the item 10,11,12)”, “Emotional expression involving
others(the item 13,14,15)” and “Avoidance and suppression(the
item 16,17,18)”. Each of these sub scale has 3 items and has a
score range of 3-12 points. If a respondent shows a high score for a
subscale, this means he/she frequently chooses that kind of coping
method [4].
The Cronbach’s alpha coefficients in the original BSCP scale
ranged from 0.64 to 0.77 (0.71 for Active solution, 0.69 for Seeking
help for solution, 0.77 for Changing mood, 0.71 for Changing a point
of view, 0.64 for Emotional expression involving others, 0.72 for
Avoidance and suppression). A principal axis factor analysis yielded
a six-factor structure [25].
Translation Procedure
The BSCP was first translated from English into Turkish by a
bilingual language expert and an occupational health professional.
Then, the scale was translated back into English by two translators
(medical physician and psychologist consultant). The English,
Turkish and “back-translated” versions were discussed by an
expert panel on occupational health. The preliminary version
of the Turkish BSCP scale was formed after this discussion and
comparison of the versions (Appendix1-2). In a pilot study, the
textile workers (N: 25) found this version to be understandable,
meaningful and relevant.
Statistical Analyses
This study aimed to investigate the psychometric properties
of the BSCP. First of all, translation of the scale was completed.
Then, validity and reliability of the scale was investigated. Content
validity index was used for evaluation of the BSCP’s validity.
Construct validity of the BSCP was investigated with exploratory
and confirmatory factor analysis. Reliability of the BSCP was
computed with Cronbach’s Alpha which determines the internal
consistency of the items.
Content Validity Procedures
Content validity was conducted to assess the clarity, correlation
and comprehensiveness of the developed Turkish version of the
BSCP. The content validity index (CVI) used was developed by
Waltz & Bausell in 1983 [26]. The content validity was assessed by
an expert panel of 6 academics, with three from the field of public

health nursing, one from psychiatric nursing, one from public
health (physician) and one from the psychology field. The panelists
rated the relevance and feasibility of each item on a scale from 1
(least relevant) to 4 (highly relevant). The CVI scale was calculated
by dividing the number of each item rated either3 (relevant but
needing minor revision) or 4 (very relevant) by the total numbers
of items. It is indicated by many researchers that a CVI scale of 0.80
score or higher is acceptable for confirming expert validity [27].
Result
The results of validity and reliability of the BSCP is given below.
Content validity
Content validity was analysed with the CVI index. In the present
study, the CVI was computed to be 0.88.Construct validity of BSCP
was investigated with exploratory and confirmatory factor analysis
and reliability of the scale was computed with Cronbach’s Alpha.
FactorstructureoftheBSCPwasdeterminedwithexploratoryfactor
analysis. The scale was administered to 540 people. Exploratory
factor analysis was examined with 180 of them and Confirmatory
factor analysis was examined with 360 of them.
Construct validity
Exploratory factor analysis: First of all, Kaiser-Meyer-Olkin
(KMO) value and Bartlett’s Test was investigated. According to the
results, the KMO index was 0.703 and the Bartlett Test’s value was
smaller than 0.05 (p=0.000). For accepting the sample adequacy,
KMO and the Bartelett’s test played an important role. Because the
index of KMO was over 0.06 and the Bartlett’s Test of Sphericity
was less than 0.05, the sampling adequacy was accepted as suitable
for factor analysis [28]. The number of significant factors was
investigated with the table of the Total Variance Explained. The
six factors have eigenvalues greater than 1.0 (which is a common
criterion for a factor to be useful).
Figure 1: Scree Plot of the Turkish Version BSCP.
For determining the number of the factors, one of the important
criteria is the screen plot [29] which shows the eigenvalues on the
y-axis and the number of factors on the x-axis. It always displays a
downward curve. The point where the slope of the curve is clearly
leveling off (the “elbow) indicates the number of factors that should
be generated by the analysis. According to the scree plot the last
big drop occurred between sixth and seventh components, so six
components were chosen (Figure 1).
The table of component matrix shows the factor loadings for
each variable and the loadings (extracted values of each item under
6 variables) of the eighteen variables on the six factors extracted
(Table 1).

Confirmatory factor analysis: According to the results of the
exploratory factor analysis, the BSCP had six factors and the results
were similar with the original scale. In addition to this, the factor
structure of the scale was also investigated with confirmatory factor
analysis (CFA). The model which consisted of six factors provided a
good model fit. The CFA fit indices of the model are given in Table 2
and the path diagram of the model is given in the Figure 2.

First of all, fit indices were examined to evaluate the overall fit.
The chi-square goodness-of-fit statistic was statistically significant
but the chi-square statistic is sensitive to the sample size, so it is
rarely used as a sole index of the model fit. An adjunct discrepancy-
based fit index is the ratio of chi-square to degrees of freedom
(χ2/df). If that ratio is in the range of 2 to 3, it is indicative of an
acceptable fit between the hypothesized model and the sample
data [30]. According to Table 2, this value was computed as 1.753
and the model demonstrated an acceptable fit. In addition to these,
several indices of fit (CFI (0.96), NFI (0.92), NNFI (0.95), IFI (0.96),
GFI (0.94)) were examined. All these incremental indices are
scaled from 0 (no fit) to 1 (perfect fit). Researchers [30,31] advise
that values close to 0.95 are indicative of a good fit. According to
the results of the study, all indices were close to 0.95. Finally, the
root mean square error of approximation (RMSEA) is a population
discrepancy function that compensates for the effects of the model’s
complexity. The closer the RMSEA coefficient is to 0, the better the
fit of the model. The RMSEA value of .05 or less indicates a close fit
of the model in relation to the degrees of freedom, whereas a value
of .08 or less indicates a reasonable error of approximation. In this
study RMSEA was computed as 0.046. According to all these results,
the model which had six factors, demonstrated a good fit (Table 3).

Reliability (Internal consistency): The reliability of the BSCP’
factors was determined with the Cronbach Alpha coefficient. Such
as, the reliability of the “Active solution” factor was computed as
0.692, the reliability for the “Seeking help for solution (the item
4,5,6)” factor was 0.712, for the “Changing mood” was 0.661, for the
“Changing a point of view” was 0.756, for the “Emotional expression
involving others” was 0.786 and “Avoidance and suppression” was
0.777.
Discussion
The present study investigated the validity and reliability of
the Turkish version of the BSCP for assessing stress coping profiles
in textile workers. The BSCP, originally developed for Japanese
workers, is documented to assess coping profiles and consists of
6 different subscales covering a broad domain of coping strategies
of workers’ job stress experiences. The six subscales can be used
separately. It does not have a total score [25]. It is short and easy to
implement at work (Table 4).

Validity
The CVI score (0.88) indicated that the BSCP had good content
validity. The KMO index and Bartelett’s test results shows that the
sampling adequacy was accepted as suitable for factor analysis.
According to the results of the total variance explanation and
scree plot, the Turkish version of the BSCP has six factors too and
the present results of this study were supported by the original
BSCP [25]. The six subscales explained 67.8% of variance. The
Exploratory factory analysis (EFA) found that the item factor
loadings ranged from .54 to .86. However, the item factor loading
in the original development of the BSCP was between .49 and .84
[25]. After the EFA evaluation in the present study, Confirmatory
Factory Analysis (CFA) was conducted for assessing the scale. The
CFA indicated that the Turkish BSCP had a good fit index [32].
Reliability
The reliability analysis in this study indicated an acceptable
internal reliability of the BSCP scale, as Cronbach Alpha scores of all
sixsubscales wereover0.66.Theinternal consistencyoftheoriginal
study, the Cronbach Alpha scores for each sub-scale was as follows:
Active solution=0.71, Seeking help for solution= 0.69, Changing
mood=0.77, Changing a point of view=0.71, Emotional expression
involving others=0.64 and Avoidance and suppression=0.72. The
Cronbach Alpha score indicated that the reliability of the Turkish
version of the BSCP had an acceptable index [33]. Compared to
findings in the original Japanese version of the BSCP, four subscales
showed better reliability in the present study. Tomutsune et al. [4]
used the BSCP scale for assessing employees in educational and
scientific institutions in Japan. Active solution (r=0.86), Seeking
help for solution (r=0.80) and Changing mood (r=0.78) subscales
had higher Cronbach Alpha’s scores when compared to the present
and the original BSCP studies [4]. However, “Changing a point of
view”, “emotional expression involving others” and “avoidance and
suppression” subscales internal consistency in the present study
was better than both studies above in Japan.
Conclusion and Recommendations
The current study translated and assessed an internationally
recognized brief measurement tool for stress coping profiles of
workers, the BSCP, into Turkish. The results showed that the scale
has acceptable validity and reliability. The Turkish version of the
BSCP is the first adapted scale in Turkey for evaluating workers’
coping strategies. More than one third of Turkey’s population

is actively engaged with work. Thus, the measurement can be
a good option to be used for assessing coping profiles with job
stressors by occupational health nurses, physicians, psychologist
and safety experts in Turkey. It is short and easy to conduct at the
workplace. The scale will be a good option to provide basic data
about workers’ coping profiles which may be used for prolonging
stress management skills and health promotion programs. The
sample of the study does not represent all the workers in Turkey.
Therefore, the results should not be generalized to all workers in
Turkey. In addition, further testing of the Turkish version of the
BSCP with different sector’s workers and socioeconomic class is
recommended.
