Menopause in the French Workplace
Menopause remains largely invisible in workplace discussions, despite its impact on women's wellbeing and careers.

The aim of the study is to investigate the relationship between passion for work (harmonious and obsessive), flow at work (as a mediator) and exhaustion in a sample of Italian nurses. About 270 nurses participated in the study: this profession is charact…
