Furthermore, aggression at work had a direct effect on physical somatisation, which in turn acted as a mediator in the level of anxiety of nursing professionals. Thus, aggression increased the level of anxiety of nurses through the appearance of somatic symptoms. CONCLUSIONS The results are discussed based on some of the consequences that appeared after episodes of aggression in the healthcare sector and their relationship. © Author(s) (or their employer(s)) 2020.

SETTING Data from a cross-sectional study of deceased residents, conducted in LTCFs in Belgium, England, Finland, Italy, the Netherlands and Poland. PARTICIPANTS All residents aged 65 years and older at admission who died in a 3-month period residing in a proportional random sample of LTCFs were included. PRIMARY AND SECONDARY OUTCOME MEASURES The primary outcome was length of stay in days, calculated from date of admission and date of death. Resident, facility and country characteristics were included in a proportional hazards model. RESULTS The proportion of deaths within 1 year of admission was 42% (range 32%-63%). Older age at admission (HR 1.04, 95% CI 1.03 to 1.06), being married/in a civil partnership at time of death (HR 1.47, 95% CI 1.13 to 1.89), having cancer at time of death (HR 1.60, 95% CI 1.22 to 2.10) and admission from a hospital (HR 1.84, 95% CI 1.43 to 2.37) or another LTCF (HR 1.81, 95% CI 1.37 to 2.40) were associated with shorter lengths of stay across all countries. Being female (HR 0.72, 95% CI 0.57 to 0.90) was associated with longer lengths of stay. CONCLUSIONS Length of stay varied significantly between countries. Factors prior to LTCF admission, in particular the availability of resources that allow an older adult to remain living in the community, appear to influence length of stay. Further research is needed to explore the availability of long-term care in the community prior to admission and its influence on the trajectories of LTCF residents in Europe. © Author(s) (or their employer(s)) 2020.

PDA is useful only if the user understands the content to make personalised decisions. Cultural adaptation is a process of adjusting health messages so that the information is accurate, relevant and understandable to users from a different population. A PDA has been developed to assist Malaysian patients with secondary drug failure to initiate insulin therapy to control their type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). Likewise, patients with T2DM in neighbouring Singapore face similar barriers in commencing insulin treatment, which a PDA may facilitate decision-making in selecting personalised therapy. [https://www.selleckchem.com/CDK.html CDK inhibition] OBJECTIVE The study aimed to explore the views and perceptions of Singaporean primary care providers on the Malaysia PDA to initiate insulin therapy and described the cultural adaptation process used in the design and development of a new PDA, which would be trialled in a Singapore primary healthcare institution.

DESIGN Prospective cohort study to estimate EAD using a model with 27 established risk factors, categorised into four groups (1) sociodemographic background and medical history, (2) lifestyles, (3) life satisfaction, and (4) biological risk factors. We apply a Poisson regression model on the survival data split into 1-year intervals. PARTICIPANTS Total of 38 549 participants aged 25-74 years at baseline of the National FINRISK Study between 1987 and 2007. PRIMARY OUTCOME MEASURES Register-based comprehensive mortality data from 1987 to 2014 with an average follow-up time of 16 years and 4310 deaths. RESULTS Almost all risk factors included in the model were statistically significantly associated with death. The largest influence on the EAD appeared to be a current heavy smoker versus a never smoker as the EAD for a 30-year-old man decreased from 86.8 years, which corresponds to the reference values of the risk factors, to 80.2 years. Diabetes decreased EAD by &gt;6.6 years. Whole or full milk consumers had 3.4 years lower EAD compared with those consuming skimmed milk. Physically inactive men had 2.4 years lower EAD than those with high activity. Men who found their life almost unbearable due to stress had 2.8 years lower EAD. CONCLUSIONS The biological risk factors and lifestyles, and the factors connected with life satisfaction were clearly associated with EAD. Our model for estimating a person's EAD can be used to motivate lifestyle changes. © Author(s) (or their employer(s)) 2020. Re-use permitted under CC BY-NC. No commercial re-use.

DESIGN The design of this cross-sectional study involves a qualitative content analysis of semistructured interviews. SETTING Participants were consecutively recruited in clinical settings throughout Germany. PARTICIPANTS Forty-nine parents (59% female) of 31 cancer survivors (aged 0-17 at diagnosis of leukaemia or central nervous system tumour) were interviewed approximately 16-24 months after the end of intensive cancer treatment (eg, chemotherapy). RESULTS During treatment, more than 70% of parents reported difficulties reconciling paid work, household and family responsibilities and caring for the ill child. Couples spent little time with each other and approximately 25% reported dispute and burden.
