Turning Everything Upside Down
Illnesses are often associated with fundamental changes in relationship dynamics. Yet, little is known about how different acute and chronic conditions distinctly impact both partners' well-being. This study analyzed the reciprocal associations between different illnesses on life satisfaction and relationship satisfaction in partnerships. Based on data from the Family Demographic Panel (FReDA), 14,426 people were analyzed in a two-stage analysis …
Improving mental health and well-being of hospital staff
Health workers experience high levels of occupational stress. There is a lack of knowledge about moderators and active ingredients of interventions aiming to reduce occupational stress in health workers. This paper presents results of the mixed-methods process evaluation of the SEEGEN (“SEElische GEsundheit am Arbeitsplatz KrankeNhaus) randomised controlled trial. Employees of three hospitals in Germany were recruited for this trial between 10/20…
Is it okay to be not okay? The role of health and mental well-being in life satisfaction
This study examines how health, depression, and relationship dynamics contribute to both relationship satisfaction and life satisfaction among couples, using data from 7213 German couples.

In contrast, life satisfaction is primarily shaped by personal …

To date, little is known about the impact of age stereotypes and potential factors on nurses' intent to leave (ITL). Therefore, the aim of our study was to assess intention to leave and potential predictors (eg, sociodemographic characteristics and age …

Loneliness as a gender-specific predictor of physical and mental health-related quality of life in older adults
HRQOL in elderly women and men is predicted by different biopsychosocial factors. Loneliness predicts decreased MCS after three years in both genders, but decreased PCS after three years only in women. Thus, a greater impact of loneliness on the health of older women can be surmised and should therefore be considered in the context of their medical care

The aim of the study was to investigate significance and costs of biopsychosocial health care needs in elderly people. METHODS: Data were derived from the 8-year follow-up of the ESTHER stud…
