Although the interplay between workaholism and work engagement could explain several open questions regarding the Heavy Work Investment (HWI) phenomenon, few studies have addressed this issue. Thus, with the purpose of filling this literature gap, the present study aimed at examining a model where job-related negative affect mediates the relationship between the interplay of workaholism and work engagement, and anxiety before sleep. Since gender could have a role in the way the interplay would impact on the theorized model, we also hypothesized a moderated role of gender on the specific connection concerning the interplay between workaholism and work engagement, in relation to job-related negative affect. Conditional process analysis was conducted on a sample of 146 participants, balanced for gender. Results supported the mediating model and indicated the presence of a moderated role of gender, such that engaged workaholic women reported significantly less job-related negative affect than disengaged workaholic women. On the contrary, the interplay between workaholism and work engagement did not seem significant for men. Results are discussed in light of the limitations and future directions of the research in this field, as well as the ensuing practical implications.

Purpose: This study aims to investigate medical physicist job status during the COVID-19 pandemic in California and collect community feedback on strategies to alleviate job burnout and stress to improve overall work-life balance.
Methods And Materials: The online survey platform SurveyMonkey was used to generate a 14-question survey, enabling data collection from a large pool of respondents. The 14 survey questions were designed to assess respondent demographics, measuring eight different variables related to medical physicist job status, and collecting feedback regarding burnout and job stress.

Introduction: Burnout is said to affect a quarter of health workers globally and this rate is said to be higher in resource-constrained settings like those in sub-Saharan Africa. Burnout does not only affect employees' work output, but it is linked with physiological dysregulation and cardiovascular diseases (CVDs). Cardiovascular diseases are now at epidemic levels in almost all regions of the world, and this is particularly serious in sub-Saharan Africa (SSA) where infectious diseases are already taking a major toll on the less-resourced health care system.

Growth differentiation factor 15 (GDF15) is a biomarker of energetic stress related to aging, disease, and mitochondrial defects. We recently showed that GDF15 is quantifiable in saliva and acutely inducible by psychosocial stress. To date, the associations between GDF15 and biopsychosocial factors and individual characteristics remain unknown.

People living in rural communities are more likely to receive opioid prescriptions, partly due to job-related injuries. State-level interventions have reduced opioid prescribing; however, rural/urban disparities persist due to differences in demographics and prescribing practices, particularly in states with large rural populations like Indiana. While spatiotemporal analyses have explored aspects of the opioid crisis, spatiotemporal patterns of opioid prescribing have not been sufficiently studied.

The COVID-19 pandemic created a crisis in healthcare throughout the world, which may have influenced perioperative nursing roles and responsibilities. The aims of this study were to assess the perioperative nurse's work experience during the COVID-19 pandemic and to evaluate the impact of their perceived stress, burnout, and job satisfaction on their intent to stay (ITS) in the workforce. A descriptive, exploratory design was conducted using an electronic survey methodology.
