“…In the multivariate regression analysis, we also observed that being a woman was positively associated with hs-CRP, which could be explained by the presence of menstruation, which was associated with hs-CRP (by the measurement of erythrocytes in urine), the more frequent presence of asymptomatic urinary infections found in this study, as well as with the presence of more reported diseases in comparison with men reported in previous studies [ 37 ]. In addition, the presence of menstruation (detected by the presence of erythrocytes in urine) and urinary infections (detected by the presence of leukocytes and leukocyte esterase in urine) was positively associated with hs-CRP in the global and/or sex-segmented multivariate analyses, which corroborate that these conditions are important contributors of inflammation.…”

In the last decades, it has been shown that inflammatory processes play a role in the development of mental and physical problems; although some studies have researched the relationship between inflammation and psychological variables, the inclusion of biochemical variables as possible confounders has been limited. Therefore, the aim of this study was to determine whether psychological variables are associated with the inflammatory marker, highly sensitive CRP (hs-CRP), after controlling for personal and biochemical variables in the Mexican population. The study was performed at the University of Guadalajara facilities, during the second half of 2022. Healthy subjects were invited to participate in the study, which consisted of the measurement of personal, psychological, and biochemical variables. We included 172 participants, 92 (52.9%) of which were women; the median (range) of age of the whole sample was 22 (18–69) years old. In the bivariate analysis, significant positive correlations were observed between hs-CRP and body mass index (BMI) and waist/hip ratio (WHR) in both sexes, together with leukocytes, uric acid, low-density lipoprotein (LDL), triglycerides, and the liver enzymes gamma glutamyl transferase (GGT) and alkaline phosphatase (ALP). In the multivariate regression analysis of the global and men’s samples, anxiety was positively associated with hs-CRP, while depression and positive relations with others were negatively associated with hs-CRP. In conclusion, psychological variables influence inflammation mainly in men, and anxiety was the main contributor; in addition, positive relation with others is a variable that should be further explored as a psychological protector of inflammation in both sexes.

“…Stress‐coping strategies are behavioural approaches taken by individuals to deal with stress through modulating their physiology and emotion and reducing discomfort (Brambila‐Tapia et al, 2022; Deklava et al, 2014; Guo et al, 2020). Prior findings showed that nurses adopt various coping strategies when suffering from occupational stress (Hasan et al, 2018; Kim & Kim, 2020).…”

Aims This study aims to investigate the association between stressors, coping strategies and intention to leave the nursing profession among nurses. Background Job stressors and coping strategies are believed to affect turnover intention among nurses, but no large‐scale study has been conducted on these associations in China yet. Method A cross‐sectional secondary analysis was conducted among 51,406 nurses from 1858 hospitals. Univariable and multivariable logistic regression analyses were carried out, and odds ratios were reported. Results Overall, 49.58% nurses had an intention to leave the profession. It is found that stress from health condition, family, occupational injuries, nurse–patient tension, high job demands, strict leaders and colleague relationships were significantly associated with higher intention to leave. Coping strategies such as talking to family and friends, talking to leaders, doing outdoor activities, engaging in hobbies and attending on‐the‐job training were significantly associated with lower intention, but social gathering, psychological counselling and suffering in silence had an opposite effect. Conclusions Our study provides new insights into the association between stressors, coping strategies and turnover intention among nurses in China. Implications for Nursing Management Evidence from this study indicates that policies promoting a safe and supportive work environment should be developed to help nurses cope with stress.

ObjectiveThe aim of this study is to discern the challenges and coping experiences encountered by nursing staff in long-term care facilities in China. This will be achieved through the identification, evaluation, and qualitative synthesis of comprehensive data.DesignThis is a qualitative meta-analysis.MethodsThe research systematically examined relevant literature sourced from six databases, concluding the search in August 2023. The inclusion criteria encompassed qualitative and mixed-methods studies in both Chinese and English, focusing on challenges faced by nursing staff in long-term care facilities and their corresponding coping strategies. The application of the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) framework facilitated the qualitative meta-integration process. Three independent researchers meticulously screened and assessed the quality of the chosen studies. The synthesis process sought to amalgamate and structure analogous findings into novel categories through multiple readings of the original literature. These categories were subsequently distilled into comprehensive themes.ResultsAnalyzed 15 articles revealed 14 sub-themes and 4 overarching analytical themes. These encompassed Sources of Challenges such as multitasking, clinical emergencies, workplace conflict, demand exceeding resources, and occupational discrimination. Psychological impacts included suppressed emotion, compassion fatigue, and self-doubt. Practical consequences involved damaged health, imbalanced life, and occupational disappointment. Coping strategies identified were self-adjusting, feeling validation and belonging, and finding support.ConclusionOur research identified the challenges faced by nursing staff in Chinese long-term care facilities and their coping experiences. We found that most challenges could be mitigated through appropriate adjustments in managerial strategies, such as reasonable human resources planning, and providing resource support, including material, emotional, and informational support. Similarly, institutions should have offered necessary emotional and psychological support to nursing staff to overcome the negative impacts of challenges and encourage them to adopt positive coping strategies.
