Article Abstract

Employment instability is increasingly recognized as an organizational stressor, yet its combined effect on nurse burnout, humanized care, and work engagement is poorly quantified. This study investigates those relationships and tests a serial mediation model linking contract instability, burnout, humanization, and engagement in Spanish hospital nurses. A nationwide cross-sectional survey was completed by 400 fixed-term nurses between March and May 2025. The data included demographics, number of contracts signed during 2024, and scores on the Maslach Burnout Inventory (MBI), Utrecht Work Engagement Scale (UWES), and Health Professionals' Humanization Scale (HUMAS). Spearman coefficients described the bivariate relations. Burnout correlated positively with both contract count (r = 0.42, = 0.039) and years of experience (r = 0.74, = 0.040). Work engagement was inversely associated with instability (r = -0.62, = 0.018). Humanized care was strongly and negatively related to burnout (r = -0.61, = 0.032), particularly in sociability and self-efficacy dimensions. Contractual precarity elevates burnout, erodes perceptions of humanized care, and, through this erosion, suppresses nurse engagement. Stabilizing workforce arrangements and strengthening empathy-centered skills may mitigate these effects and foster a socially sustainable nursing workforce.

Language learning and use relies on domain-specific, domain-general cognitive and sensory-motor functions. Using fMRI during story listening and behavioral tests, we investigated brain-behavior associations between linguistic and non-linguistic measures in individuals with varied multilingual experience and reading skills, including typical reading participants (TRs) and dyslexic readers (DRs). Partial Least Square Correlation revealed a main component linking cognitive, linguistic, and phonological measures to amodal/associative brain areas.

Background And Objectives: Explore whether community social capital measures (system of resources available to individuals through community engagement) are related to surgical outcomes among intracranial tumor patients.

Methods: Adults who underwent resection at a single medical center for intracranial tumor was identified and their zip codes were matched to three variables derived from the Social Capital Atlas: economic connectedness, volunteering rate, and civic organizations. The economic connectedness score quantifies the degree to which low-income and high-income community members are friends with each other, the volunteering rate is defined as the proportion of a given community engaged in community organizations and the civic organization score is defined as the number of local civic organizations within a given community.

Background: Conventional top-down health interventions often exclude adolescents and community stakeholders from service design and implementation, resulting in low uptake and a mismatch with young people's needs. The CAFFP-PAC initiative in Northern Uganda sought to explore how a community-led, adolescent-centered inception process could support integration of adolescent-friendly family planning and post-abortion care into primary healthcare services.

Methods: A participatory qualitative design was employed during an inception meeting in Lira City on April 1, 2025, guided by principles of community-based participatory research and citizen science.

Background: Sexual and gender diverse adolescents and young adults (SGDAYA) experience mental health disparities, yet few empirical investigations into the long-term impact of affirmative treatments on their well-being exist.

Methods: This study explored the longitudinal effects of a brief affirmative cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) group intervention (AFFIRM) on the depression and anxiety of SGDAYA (N = 202), as well as how pre-treatment and mid-intervention change mechanisms contributed to their improved mental health. Participants' age ranged from 14 to 29 years old at baseline (M = 22.
