“…The nursing sector is the sector with the highest rate of nonfatal occupational diseases and injuries, which causes an increase in sick leave [57]. Factors such as stress, poor health, and depression negatively affect WLB [58,59]. Regarding the psychological demands, nurses must make urgent and critical decisions that involve a vital risk for the patient [60]; thus, nursing professionals are continuously exposed to traumatic events [61].…”

The balance of personal life with professional life is a topical issue that is increasingly worrisome due to globalization, the rapid introduction of new technologies into all areas of human life, the overlap between time between work and family, new organizational systems, and changes in the nature of work. This problem is accentuated by professions subjected to intense labor demands, as is the case of nurses. Adopting the Job Demand–Control–Support model, the main purpose of this research is to analyze how these factors lead to a greater or lesser degree of work–life balance. The research proposes a logistic regression model, which was constructed with a sample of 991 nursing professionals from the V European Working Conditions Survey. The results obtained confirm, on the one hand, that there is a significant effect of physical demands (but not psychological demands) on work–life balance. On the other hand, the moderating effects of job control are partially confirmed for psychological demands, and those of supervisor support (but not co-worker support) are partially confirmed for physical demands. In conclusion, the present research shows that effective management of nurses’ work context can decisively contribute to finding the difficult balance between personal and professional time.

“…Another survey targeting adults showed that individuals who visited a dentist for regular dental checkup had almost half as many teeth missing as compared to those who visited the dentist only when they faced a dental concern. 10 In our study we investigated the reason behind the refrainment of regular dental checkups and it was concluded that major contributing factors were; the time consumed while visiting a dentist, dental anxiety to some extent and one of the major and highlighted factor was overall expenses during dental visitation. The participants were further questioned about the reason they thought dental visits were costly and it was observed that majority thought it was because dental equipment is expensive.…”

Abstract: Introduction: Routine dental examination is important for early diagnosis and treatment of dental problems in order to improve quality of life and avoid costly future treatments. Regular dental checkups also decreases dental anxiety among individuals. Methodology: This descriptive cross-sectional study was conducted at the department of Operative dentistry, Altamash institute of dental medicines from 15 August’2021 to 11 November’2021. 204 participants were interviewed using well-constructed questionnaire regarding factors associated with irregular dental checkups and refrainment from regular dental treatment. Objective: To identify factors associated with irregular dental checkups or refraining from regular dental treatment. Results: Among 204 participants, 79 (38.73%) were male and 125 (61.27%) were female. Results showed that 47.55% of individuals were aware that dental hygiene improved overall quality of life, only 42.6% of participants visited a dental clinic for a general check-up, whereas 57.35% only received dental treatment when they were in pain. Conclusion: Major factor leading to irregularity for dental checkup, is financial constraint. Keywords: Dental checkup, Dentist, Dental treatment, Oral health .

“…This has been a constant finding across many studies published from India and other lower and middle-income countries (LMICs) and has not witnessed major changes. 9 , 14 , 15 This highlights the need to have suitable institutional mechanisms in place to engage with this population group to address the underlying factors to prevent intentional consumption of poison. A disproportionately high proportion of males affected is also one of the consistent findings across the studies.…”

Aims and background Acute poisoning is one of the most common emergencies in India and around the world. Understanding the factors associated with mortality can aid us in devising appropriate preventive strategies to curtail deaths due to poisoning. Purpose of this study is to find various factors that determine the mortality among acute poisoning cases admitted in a tertiary care center. Materials and methods A retrospective hospital records-based study was conducted at Chengalpattu Medical College Hospital. The study included 2,123 cases of various poisoning cases admitted for a year from January to December 2022. Cases of bites, stings, drowning, and hanging were excluded. Information on sociodemographic profile, type of poison, time since ingestion and admission, and treatment outcome were collected using a structured pro forma. Results The mean age of the study population was 29.90 ± 14.98 years. Poisoning was found to be predominantly among males (56.42%) and residents of rural areas (58%). Insecticide consumption (27.0%) was the most common modality, followed by oleander poisoning (20%), corrosive poison (17%), rat poison (15%), tablet poison (13%), and other poisons. The overall case fatality rate (CFR) was 5.2%, with the highest CFR of 12.25% with insecticide poisoning. In multivariate analysis, Glasgow coma scale (GCS) score at admission is the only parameter showing a statistically significant association with mortality (adjusted odds-ratio 0.271(0.2–0.38, p -value < 0.01). Conclusion Acute poisoning primarily affects the young and economically productive population. In the south Indian population, pesticides are still the major contributor though corrosives are a major contributor among children. Mortality is still significant, and GCS status admission is the only predictor of mortality.
