Health Status of North African Adolescent and Young Adult Migrants in Europe
More than five million people from North Africa (NA) lived in Europe in 2019, including youth characterized by intense trans-border mobility, precarious living conditions and high-risk behaviours such as substance use, prostitution and illegal activities. This young population challenges health professionals and health service's ability to deliver medical care. The health literature about them remains scarce. This scoping review aims to map the e…
Covid-19 pandemic-related changes in teleworking, emotional exhaustion, and occupational burnout
Decreased teleworking frequency and not having the possibility of telework were associated with higher emotional exhaustion and diagnosed burnout. As organizations reconsider their telework policies in a post-pandemic era, they should consider the impact of such organizational changes on employee wellbeing
Validation of French versions of the 15-item picker patient experience questionnaire for adults, teenagers, and children inpatients
Objectives: No French validated concise scales are available for measuring the experience of inpatients in pediatrics. This study aims to adapt the adult PPE-15 to a pediatric population, and translating it in French, as well as to establish reference values for adults, teenagers, and parents of young children. Methods: Cultural adaptation involved forward and backward translations, along with pretests in all three populations. Dimensional struct…
Effects of emotionally incongruent musical excerpts on memory retrieval
Music’s power to trigger memories has rarely been tested; in particular, it is not clear what mechanisms govern memory retrieval elicited by musical cues. Previous research has suggested that memory retrieval is underpinned by two mechanisms: (1) distinctiveness—the probability that a cue will retrieve a memory declines with the number of stimuli previously encoded with that same cue and (2) incongruence—a cue encoded with emotionally incongruent…
Successful Pre-Rewarming Resuscitation after Cardiac Arrest in Severe Hypothermia
The aim of our study is to investigate successful pre-rewarming resuscitation after hypothermic cardiac arrest (HCA). The hypothermic heart may be insensitive to defibrillation when core temperature is below 30 °C and after successful defibrillation, sinus rhythm often returns into ventricular fibrillation. Recurrent defibrillation attempts may induce myocardial injury. Discrepancy exists concerning pre-rewarming defibrillation between the guidel…
Dynamical System Modeling of Self-Regulated Systems Undergoing Multiple Excitations
This article proposes a dynamical system modeling approach for the analysis of longitudinal data of self-regulated homeostatic systems experiencing multiple excitations. It focuses on the evolution of a signal (e.g., heart rate) before, during, and after excitations taking the system out of its equilibrium (e.g., physical effort during cardiac stress testing). Such approach can be applied to a broad range of outcomes such as physiological process…
Back pain occurrence and treatment-seeking behavior among nurses
Does the single-item self-rated health measure the same thing across different wordings? Construct validity study
The three SRH forms were not equivalent in terms of construct validity. Studies examining the evolution of SRH over time with surveys using different forms should use the linear coding scheme to maximise equivalence between SRH forms
Do Welfare Regimes Moderate Cumulative Dis/advantages Over the Life Course? Cross-National Evidence from Longitudinal SHARE Data
Our research did not find evidence of cumulative disadvantage with aging in the studied life-course characteristics and age range. Instead, trajectories showed narrowing differences with differing patterns across welfare regimes
The role of adult socioeconomic and relational reserves regarding the effect of childhood misfortune on late-life depressive symptoms
Childhood socioeconomic disadvantage can be mitigated more easily over the life course than adverse childhood events and poor childhood health, especially in men. Perceived relational reserves work primarily as a protective force against late-life depressive symptoms and may be particularly important in the context of the cumulative effect of childhood adversities
Life Course Socioeconomic Conditions and Frailty at Older Ages
Findings suggest that CSC are associated with frailty at old age. However, when taking into account ASC, this association no longer persists. The results show the importance of improving socioeconomic conditions over the whole life course in order to reduce health inequalities in old age
Life-Course Circumstances and Frailty in Old Age Within Different European Welfare Regimes
These findings suggest that childhood misfortune is linked to frailty in old age. Such a disadvantaged start in life does not seem to be compensated by a person's life-course socioeconomic trajectory, though certain types of welfare regimes affected this relationship. Apart from main occupational position, our findings do not support the cumulative dis/advantage theory, but rather show narrowing differences
We Won't Retire Without Skeletons in the Closet
Physicians and nurses are expected to systematically provide high-quality healthcare in a context marked by complexity, time pressure, heavy workload, and the influence of nonclinical factors on clinical decisions. Therefore, healthcare professionals must eventually deal with unfortunate events to which regret is a typical emotional reaction. Using semistructured interviews, 11 physicians and 13 nurses working in two different hospitals in the Ge…
Differential impact of systemic lupus erythematosus and rheumatoid arthritis on health-related quality of life
The fear of dying and occurrence of posttraumatic stress symptoms after an acute coronary syndrome
The purpose of the study was to investigate whether experiencing fear of dying after acute coronary syndrome predicts later posttraumatic stress symptoms. We enrolled 90 patients hospitalized with main diagnosis of acute coronary syndrome and assessed baseline characteristics. One month after discharge, we collected the Posttraumatic Stress Scale. A total of 24 patients (26.7%) developed posttraumatic stress symptoms 1 month after the acute coron…

Mental health trajectories and their embeddedness in work and family circumstances
Mental health trajectories are known to be influenced by work and family circumstances. However, few studies have examined both of these influences simultaneously in a longitudinal manner. The life-course perspective stresses the importance of examining trajectories in terms of both stable and dynamic components. In this article we use structural equation models (latent state-trait, LST) to distinguish the stable and situational components of men…
Self-rated health
Validation of a 10-item Care-related Regret Intensity Scale (RIS-10) for Health Care Professionals
BACKGROUND: Regret after one of the many decisions and interventions that health care professionals make every day can have an impact on their own health and quality of life, and on their patient care practices. OBJECTIVES: To validate a new care-related regret intensity scale (RIS) for health care professionals. RESEARCH DESIGN: Retrospective cross-sectional cohort study with a 1-month follow-up (test-retest) in a French-speaking University Hosp…
Exploring Dynamics in Mood Regulation—Mixture Latent Markov Modeling of Ambulatory Assessment Data
OBJECTIVE: To illustrate how fluctuation patterns in ambulatory assessment data with features such as few categorical items, measurement error, and heterogeneity in the change pattern can adequately be analyzed with mixture latent Markov models. The identification of fluctuation patterns can be of great value to psychosomatic research concerned with dysfunctional behavior or cognitions, such as addictive behavior or noncompliance. In our applicat…
Psychometric properties of a computerized mobile phone method for assessing mood in daily life
Ecological momentary assessment is a method that is now largely used to study behavior and mood in the settings in which they naturally occur. It maximizes ecological validity and avoids the limitations of retrospective self-reports. Studies on the psychometric properties of scales administered via mobile phone ecological momentary assessment are lacking. Therefore, we collected data on a 4-item mood scale measuring well being on six occasions pe…
Can the distinction between intentional and unintentional interference control help differentiate varieties of impulsivity
Analyzing true change in longitudinal multitrait-multimethod studies
The authors show how structural equation modeling can be applied to analyze change in longitudinal multitrait-multimethod (MTMM) studies. For this purpose, an extension of latent difference models (McArdle, 1988; Steyer, Eid, & Schwenkmezger, 1997) to multiple constructs and multiple methods is presented. The model allows investigators to separate true change from measurement error and to analyze change simultaneously for different methods. The a…
