AAPA 2022 POSTER SESSION ABSTRACTS PURPOSEDuring the COVID-19 pandemic, more than 10,000 physician associates/assistants (PAs), about 7% of the PA population, were redeployed to EDs, ICUs, and other medical specialties. Because of increased patient volume, healthcare workers experienced greater degrees of stress than the general population. A cross-sectional study found a positive correlation between resilience and one's wellbeing. Another found that gritty individuals are less vulnerable to the effects of stressful events. This exploratory study examined whether a relationship exists between grit (defi ned as perseverance and passion for goals) and well-being (defi ned as overall happiness) in PAs redeployed during the peak of the pandemic. METHODSThis study was approved by the Wagner College institutional review board. An a priori power analysis (G*Power 3.1.9.7) revealed a minimum sample size of 136 respondents at 0.8 power and 0.05 alpha. Inclusion criteria were certifi ed PAs who fi nish the survey; redeployed from their original specialty into EDs, ICUs, COVID-medical units from March 2020 to December 2020; and worked there for more than 2 weeks. They were recruited by email and social media platforms to answer an electronic survey of 17 demographic items, 12 grit items (validated Duckworth Grit Scale, measures interest consistency
As result of the adverse effects caused by climate change, the nations have decided to accelerate the transition of the energy matrix through the use of non-conventional sources free of polluting emissions. One of these alternatives is green hydrogen. In this context, Chile stands out for the exceptional climate that makes it a country with a lot of renewable resources. Such availability of resources gives the nation clear advantages for hydrogen production, strong gusts of wind throughout the country, the most increased solar radiation in the world, lower cost of production of electrical supplies, among others. Due to this, the nation would be between the lowest estimated cost for hydrogen production, i.e., 1.5 USD/kg H2 approximately, scenario that would place it as one of the cheapest green hydrogen producer in the world.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
