Article Abstract

Background: There is a need to examine the psychological traits that impact the "personal quality of life" and "personal well-being" of caregivers in the workplace.

Purpose: This research proposes the resource-based reflective risk assessment model using a "at risk" framework to integrate mental health traits, producing a "portrait" of nursing quality of life and well-being.

Methods: Cross-sectional surveys on the quality of work life of nurses in Australia and Mexico were used to collect data.

Findings: Significant differences based on the ProQOL "at-risk" categories were found in all the 10 constructs with a similar pattern between the 2 countries. The proposed model was shown to be a useful framework for integrating mental health constructs that have a "draining" and "gaining" effect on nurses' well-being.

Discussion: The proposed model provides framework for understanding nursing well-being as well an integrating structure to add additional constructs to construct a comprehensive portrait of nurses' quality work life and personal well-being.

Accurate determination of the parameters of each high purity germanium, HPGe detectors ensure the precision of quantitative results obtained from spectrum analysis. This study presents a comprehensive performance evaluation and long-term quality control assessment of a high-purity germanium (HPGe) gamma spectrometry system that has been operational for over 15 years. Key spectrometric measures were recorded, including energy resolution, peak shape ratios, asymmetry, peak-to-Compton ratio, relative efficiency, electronic noise, minimum detectable activity (MDA), and repeatability and reproducibility of the system.

Background: Frailty is defined as a biological syndrome characterized by a decreased reserve and resistance to stressors. Frailty is closely related to lifestyle, and improving lifestyle can effectively reduce the incidence of frailty and related adverse events. Multi-component interventions were an effective mean of improving lifestyle, which has been validated in studies of other populations.

Background: Major Depressive Disorder (MDD) is a leading cause of global disability, contributing to substantial individual, social, and economic burdens. While antidepressant therapy remains the cornerstone of treatment, complementary lifestyle-based interventions, such as multimodal exercise and mindfulness, have shown promise in alleviating mood symptoms. However, their specific impact on sleep quality, a critical therapeutic target in MDD, remains underexplored.
