A Pilot Study on the Freelisting Method Among Adolescents with Chronic Musculoskeletal Pain
Background/Objectives : To assess the feasibility and acceptability of freelisting for adolescents with chronic musculoskeletal pain (CMP) and use freelisting to identify how adolescents with CMP cope with pain. Methods : This was a mixed-methods cross-sectional single-center study of patients 12-18 years old, diagnosed with CMP. Twenty-seven subjects participated in an interview which included the freelisting exercise, probing questions, Connor-…
Exploring Residents’ Well-Being and Burnout via Qualitative Ecological Momentary Assessment
PURPOSE: Most of what is known about resident burnout and wellness comes from cross-sectional snapshot surveys. The purpose of this study was to elicit qualitative perspectives on wellness from a cohort of internal residents over time using ecological momentary assessment. METHOD: Drawing on principles of ecological momentary assessment, 13 different open-ended survey prompts were delivered between October and March during the 2019-2020 academic …

Is the twin‐singleton difference in BMI related to the difference in birth weight? A register‐based birth cohort study of N orwegian males
OBJECTIVE: The aim was to test the hypothesis that the difference in body mass index (BMI) between twins and singletons may be attributed to a difference in birth weight. METHODS: Data from the Medical Birth Registry of Norway were linked with data from the Norwegian Conscript Service. This study used data on 411,186 males who were born in single or twin births in Norway during 1967 to 1984, and who were examined at the mandatory military conscri…
Birth weight and the risk of overweight in young men born at term
There is a positive within-family association between birth weight and the odds of overweight in young Norwegian men born at term
Paternal age at birth and the risk of obesity in young adulthood
OBJECTIVES: The aim of this study was to determine the relationship between paternal age at birth and the risk of obesity in young adulthood. METHODS: Data from the medical birth register of Norway were linked with register data from the Norwegian National Conscript Service and the national statistics agency, Statistics Norway. This study used the data on 346,609 registered males who were born at term in single birth without physical anomalies du…
Are stepfathers' education levels associated with the intelligence of their stepsons? A register-based study of Norwegian half-brothers
We examined the relationship between the parents' education levels and the adult intelligence of their children in a population-based, nationwide sample of Norwegian half-brothers with different fathers (2,016 pairs of half-brothers). In a family where the mother has two children with different men, the firstborn child usually lives with the younger child's father during a period of their childhood. This makes it possible to study the non-genetic…
Work factors and psychological distress in nurses' aides
The study suggests that work factors explain only a modest part of the psychological distress in nurses' aides. Exposures to role conflicts and threats and violence at work may contribute to psychological distress in nurses' aides. It is important that protective measures against violent patients are implemented, and that occupational health officers offer victims of violence appropriate support or therapy. It is also important that health servic…
Practice area and work demands in nurses' aides
The demands and control experienced by Norwegian nurses' aides at work vary strongly with the practice area. Preventive workplace interventions should be tailored each area
Work factors and smoking cessation in nurses' aides
There seems to be a negative association between hours of work per week and the odds of smoking cessation in nurses' aides. It is important that health institutions offer workplace-based services with documented effects on nicotine dependence, such as smoking cessation courses, so that healthcare workers who want to stop smoking, especially those with long working hours, do not have to travel to the programme or to dedicate their leisure time to …
