Perceptions of psychological safety in high-containment laboratories: mixed method survey of community members and industry experts.

Background: In high-reliability organizations (HROs), where safety is paramount, psychological safety is crucial for maintaining operational integrity and mitigating potential risks. The interdependence between HROs and surrounding communities necessitates examining the perceptions of conditions for safe and transparent operation from both community residents and subject matter experts (SMEs). This study aims to understand community residents' perceptions of psychological safety in the operation of a high-containment laboratory (HCL), how incident reporting reflects the psychological safety of a facility, and the alignment in community residents and SMEs' assessments of psychological safety in these laboratories.

Examining the Relationship Between Nurse Fatigue, Alertness, and Medication Errors.

Background: Working for extended hours in a physically and mentally demanding profession has subjected nurses to occupational fatigue. Limited evidence exists about nurse fatigue and alertness changes throughout shift work and their relationship with medication errors and near misses.

Purpose: The purposes of this study were to: (1) assess the relationship between nurses' fatigue and alertness, (2) evaluate nurses' fatigue and alertness changes throughout their shift, and (3) examine the relationship between nurses' fatigue, alertness, and medication errors and near misses.

Physical Activity Among Rural Men: Barriers and Preferences.

Introduction: Physical activity positively affects health. Although 94% of Americans know the health benefits of regular physical activity, more than 75% do not achieve recommended levels. The objective of our study was to identify and define the key components of a physical activity intervention tailored to rural American men.

Internal but Not External Building Design Associated With More Occupational Physical Activity.

Background: Few studies have explored the impact of internal building design features on physical activity. The purpose of this study is to determine building design features associate with physical activity and sedentary behaviors.

Methods: Full-time workers ( = 114) wore an ActivPal monitor for 4 work days to measure physical activity and sedentary behaviors.

Leisure but Not Occupational Physical Activity and Sedentary Behavior Associated With Better Health.

Objective: This study explores relations between occupational and leisure-time physical activity (OPA, LTPA) and sedentary behavior (OSB, LTSB) and several health outcomes.

Methods: A total 114 full-time workers had their body composition, waist circumference, height, weight, resting heart rate, and resting blood pressure measured. ActivPal monitor measured physical activity behaviors.

Usefulness of Intracoronary Brachytherapy for Patients With Resistant Drug-Eluting Stent Restenosis.

In-stent restenosis (ISR) remains a concern even in the drug-eluting stent (DES) era and carries a high risk of recurrence. Brachytherapy is being used as an alternative treatment for resistant ISR, yet the safety and efficacy of this approach has not been well studied. We analyzed the outcomes of 101 patients who underwent coronary brachytherapy for resistant DES ISR.
