Article Abstract
Objective: While the relationship between career calling and its impact on organisations and employees has been well-documented, the connection between career calling and presenteeism remains unclear. This study aims to elucidate the positive relationship between career calling and presenteeism, as well as explore potential mitigation strategies. By drawing on work as calling theory and self-compassion literature, we investigate the mediating role of workaholism and the moderating effect of self-compassion in the relationship between career calling and presenteeism.
Methods: A time-lagged cross-sectional questionnaire was administered in three waves, with two-week intervals between each wave. A total of 218 valid responses were collected from nurses working in three hospitals located in northern China. Initially, confirmatory factor analysis was performed to establish discriminant validity. Subsequently, the SPSS macro Process 3.0 was utilised to test the mediating hypothesis, employing 5,000 bootstrap iterations to obtain 95% bias-corrected confidence intervals. Simple slope analysis was conducted to evaluate the moderating hypothesis. Finally, the estimated indirect effect and moderated mediation coefficients were calculated at both high and low values of the moderating variable to assess the moderated mediation hypothesis.
Results: Our research reveals the underlying mechanism of workaholism and the mitigative effects of self-compassion in the career calling and presenteeism linkage. The results indicate a positive indirect relationship between career calling and presenteeism via workaholism, and that this indirect effect is weaker when individuals exhibit higher levels of self-compassion.
Conclusion: The study sheds light on the relationship between career calling and workaholism and presenteeism among nurses, suggesting that self-compassion plays a pivotal role in the above relationship.

Early-career researchers (ECRs) play a key role in conducting animal experiments in academic research. However, they face considerable challenges, including poor working conditions, and inadequate strategies for managing distress. These difficulties are often amplified in animal research, where a lack of consensus on the 3Rs (replacement, reduction, and refinement), challenges to navigate complex regulations and ethical dilemmas can further complicate the situation.

The author examines the impact of academic medicine's rigid definition of success on the authenticity and well-being of medical students. Through a reflective analysis grounded in personal experience, the author highlights the discrepancy between institutional success metrics-such as perfect grades, prestigious publications, and competitive research grants-and the value of community advocacy, health equity work, and authentic expression. The narrative illustrates how success in medical education often adheres to an unspoken curriculum, promoting assimilation over inclusion and forcing students to choose between authenticity and conformity to advance in their careers.

Background: The glass ceiling, a metaphorical barrier hindering women's career advancement, is prevalent across various sectors, including healthcare. Women have proved their competence as successful senior-level leaders. Despite this, there is still a striking under-representation of female prosthetists and orthotists in leadership positions as managers and business owners.

Background: Dysmenorrhoea affects many adolescents and often goes untreated for various sociocultural reasons. Dysmenorrhoea frequently co-occurs with other chronic pain conditions, and adult women with dysmenorrhoea have greater sensory sensitivity compared with controls. We aimed to test the hypothesis that adolescent dysmenorrhoea leads to the development of general chronic pain, including pain outside the pelvis, by estimating the risk of chronic pain in adulthood following the experience of dysmenorrhoea at age 15 years.
