Article Abstract
Background: The novel medical model of "Internet Plus continuous nursing" has received much attention under the dual background of aging and digitalization in China. However, there is a scarcity of studies that report on the potential barriers and challenges associated with the implementation of this practice.
Objective: This study aimed to investigate and understand nurses' experience regarding barriers to providing Internet Plus continuous nursing.
Methods: A sequential mixed methods design was adopted. In the first phase, a self-made questionnaire was used to quantify the barriers and challenges into 3 domains: management, relational, and information continuity. In the second phase, nurses who participated in the Internet Plus continuous nursing program were invited to attend semistructured interviews to further explore, explain, and understand the complexities behind these data, obtaining more detailed information on participants' experiences, perspectives, and meanings.
Results: A total of 4638 participants from 312 hospitals were selected for the final analysis; the adjusted mean score of the survey was 3.49 (SD 0.83). Among the 3 domains, management continuity had the lowest score (mean 3.32, SD 0.97), followed by relational continuity (mean 3.44, SD 0.9) and information continuity (mean 3.62, SD 0.92). The results of the multivariable analysis showed that age, education level, and a greater number of working years were predictors of continuity for Internet Plus continuous nursing (P<.001). Following the qualitive study, 8 subthemes emerged from 72 initial codes and were grouped into 3 themes: organizational changes, practice changes, and future directions.
Conclusions: This mixed methods study revealed that Chinese nurses may have differential challenges when providing Internet Plus continuous nursing, particularly in management continuity. To better benefit patients and improve health care delivery, health care organizations and policymakers should implement strategies to improve interdisciplinary relationships, establish and perfect organizational management, and enhance communication.

Background: Telehealth use, including video visits and secure messages, expanded significantly in Veterans Health Administration (VHA) primary care during the COVID-19 pandemic. However, primary care provider (PCP) burnout also increased during this period. Each modality may have affected primary care workloads differently (either by substituting for or complementing in-person visits) and thereby had varying effects on PCP burnout.

Background: Content creators (CCs), like any other worker, are exposed to various occupational hazards that can affect their physical, mental, and social well-being, with psychosocial and ergonomic risks being particularly relevant. The combination of prolonged work hours, sedentary lifestyles, excessive public scrutiny, and often job insecurity and unpredictability (manifested as continuous connectivity and anticipation of sporadic tasks) presents a significant risk for the development of health issues.
Objective: This study reviews the scientific literature to identify the potential pathological processes affecting CCs on social media.
