“…Studies have found that poor economic status and underlying disease were negatively associated with self-rated health. 27, 28 The inability to access health resources due to financial hardship aggravates psychological distress and causes deterioration of overall well-being, making it more challenging to afford medications. 29 This may explain our findings that respondents from high-income households were more likely to be adherent compared to lower-income families irrespective of their disease status or the risk factor groups.…”

Introduction In the US, cardiovascular diseases (CVD) are the leading cause of death and disability. Cost-related non-adherence (CRMN) can have serious consequences and worsen CVD outcomes. We examined the relationship between CVD risk factors and CRMN among US adults. Methods CDC?s 2019-2021 National Health Interview Survey (NHIS) data was used to examine CRMN among adults, categorized into three groups based on reported risk factors. We used chi-square tests, logistic regression to determine factors associated with CRMN. Results Among 49,464 participants, young, unmarried individuals, females, less educated, and participants from South had higher CRMN than older, married individuals, males, and those with higher education residing in the other regions. Current smokers and those with more CVD risk factors also had a higher CRMN than former smokers and never-smokers. Conversely, those aged 65 or older, with high-income, and excellent self-rated health had lower CRMN than younger participants, low-income families, and those with poor self-health. Public insurance and Medicaid participants had lower CRMN than uninsured (OR 0.13, 95% CI, 0.04-0.45, and OR 0.24, 95% CI, 0.15-0.36). Stratified regression analysis by disease status, i.e., diabetes, hypertension, and hyperlipidemia, revealed participants with high-income had lower odds of CRMN (OR 0.38, 95% CI 0.28-0.50; OR 0.39, 95% CI, 0.28-0.58; OR 0.37, 95% CI 0.27-0.51 respectively) than those with lower incomes. Conclusion Adults under 65 with more CVD risk factors are at higher risk of CRMN. Hence, robust prescription drug coverage and targeted interventions are necessary to lower CRMN in those with CVD risk factors.

“…In this study, nursing professionals self-assessed health through the selection of symptoms present in the past week, which offered data to relate them to illness. Health self-assessment refers to the individual's perception of their general health status (14) . In this regard, Iranian (14) and Brazilian (13) research identified good health assessment in nursing professionals.…”

“…Nursing is a challenging profession, which requires physical and emotional resilience, a condition that can determine the efficiency at work and the quality of care provided to the patient (14) . Thus, being in constant exposure to risk situations, it is important to (re)cognize symptoms and signs presented by the nursing worker that may be related to their illness.…”

Objective: To relate self-reported health symptoms and the impacts of work in terms of physical, social, and psychological illness in nursing professionals. Method: Cross-sectional, correlational study carried out in a public hospital in the southern region of Brazil. A sample of nursing professionals who worked in direct care participated in the study. A social-occupational questionnaire of self-reported health symptoms and the Work-Related Damage Assessment Scale were used. The analysis was descriptive and analytical. Chi-square test and Spearman’s correlation coefficient were used, with a significance level of 5%. Results: A total of 308 professionals participated, with a prevalence of physical illness and higher means for pain in the body, legs and back. Significant relations were identified among the social-occupational variables, health symptoms, and physical, social or psychological illness. High and moderate correlations among the factors investigated were evidenced. Conclusion: The impact of work on nursing professionals’ health is evidenced by the association between self-reported health symptoms and illness, especially the physical or social one, and reinforces the need for professional awareness over situations that are harmful to health.

“…Procrastination is often described as a failure of self-regulation,2 and the behaviour is associated with stress, symptoms of depression and anxiety,3 4 poorer academic performance5 and negative effect on overall health and well-being 6. Previous research on procrastination has mainly focused on examining mechanisms behind the behaviour, for example, why people procrastinate and associations with personality traits such as impulsivity,7 and to a lesser extent on evaluating support that could be helpful in changing procrastination behaviours 8.…”

IntroductionThe concept of procrastination can be described as a conscious, yet irrational, postponement of important tasks or decisions—despite awareness that the delay may lead to negative consequences. Procrastination behaviours are common among university students and is often described as a failure of self-regulation, and the behaviour is associated with stress, symptoms of depression and anxiety, poorer academic performance and negative effects on overall health and well-being.Methods and analysisA two-arm, parallel groups (1:1), single-blind randomised controlled trial will be conducted to assess the effectiveness of a brief digital procrastination intervention (Focus) among university students in Sweden. The intervention consists of a screening and feedback component based on Pure Procrastination Scale (PPS) score, allowing intervention participants to assess their current procrastination behaviours and receive behaviour change advice. Participants in the control group will be shown their total PPS score without any further feedback. Monte Carlo simulations (assuming a standardised effect of 0.35 Cohen’s d of the intervention on the primary outcome, to at least 80% of the time estimate a posterior probability of effect of at least 95%) indicated that data from 1000 participants are required for analysis, meaning that 2000 participants are required to be randomised when assuming a 50% attrition rate. The primary outcome will be procrastination behaviour measured at 2 months postrandomisation. Secondary outcomes will be anxiety and stress symptoms and lifestyle behaviours. Outcomes will be analysed using multilevel regression models estimated using Bayesian inference.Ethics and disseminationThe study was approved by the Swedish Ethical Review Authority on 2022-08-24 (dnr 2022-00353). Students will be asked to give informed consent before participation and after having been given information about the study. The results will be submitted for publication in open access, peer-reviewed journals.Trial registration numberISRCTN13533793
