Article Abstract
Purpose: Integration of evidence-based innovations, such as serum neurofilament light chain (sNfL) measurement into routine practice represents a pivotal opportunity to advance personalized care in multiple sclerosis (MS) management. This study assessed neurologists' openness to adopting healthcare innovations (sNfL testing), focusing on individual characteristics and structural factors like workplace environment and resources.
Methods: An observational, cross-sectional study was conducted in partnership with the Spanish Society of Neurology. Neurologists caring for patients with MS completed an e-survey assessing openness to innovation using the Openness subscale of the Evidence-Based Practice Attitude Scale (EBPAS), alongside measures of empathy, healthcare-related regret, risk preferences, burnout, and workplace communication. Logistic and linear regression models were conducted to identify predictors of openness to innovation.
Results: One hundred and sixteen neurologists were studied. Mean age (SD) was 41.9 (10.1) years, 53.4% were male. Mean experience as neurologists was 16.0 (9.2) years and 96.6% worked in an academic hospital. Median (IQR) EBPAS-Openness score was 3.0 (2.5-3.5), with 54.3% (n=63) of participants demonstrating openness to innovation. Participants fully dedicated to MS care, managing higher patient volumes, engaged in research publications, with access to serum neurofilament light chain testing, and a greater propensity for risk-taking, were more open to adopting innovations than their counterparts. Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that access to sNfL testing and higher empathy levels were significant predictors of openness (OR=3.52, CI 95%: 1.3-10.3; p=0.016 and OR=1.09, CI 95%: 1.0-1.2; p=0.005, respectively). Complementary linear regression reinforced the significant positive association between higher EBPAS-Openness scores and empathy (estimate=0.024, p=0.001).
Conclusion: Neurologists exhibited a varied openness to innovation. Implementing initial innovative strategies in clinical practice should prioritize neurologists with specific profiles to support the integration of emerging tools and personalized healthcare approaches in MS care.

Based on the concept of urban vitality and the unique geographical location of border areas, an evaluation framework for urban vitality in border areas was constructed from four dimensions: economy, society, openness, and culture. The entropy weight method was used to calculate the urban vitality levels of 45 border cities in 2000, 2010, 2019, and 2022, and the influencing factors were quantitatively analyzed. The results indicated that from 2000-2022, the vitality level of China's border cities continued to rise, from 1.

Employee creative behavior (ECB) is vital for innovation and competitiveness in hospitality firms, yet its antecedents remain underexplored in non-Western contexts. This study investigates work happiness (WH) encompassing engagement, satisfaction, and affective organizational commitment as a predictor of ECB, mediated by personal values (PV) and moderated by corporate social responsibility perception (CSRP). Grounded in Schwartz's Theory of Personal Values, we propose that PV, specifically openness to change and self-transcendence, channel WH into ECB, with CSRP amplifying this pathway by fostering value alignment and psychological safety.
