An impact model to understand and improve work-life balance in early-career researchers in radiation oncology.
Get PDFPurpose
The COVID-19 pandemic had a substantial effect on mental health and work productivity of early-career researchers working in Radiation Oncology (RO). However, the underlying mechanisms of these effects are unclear. The aim of the current qualitative study was therefore to achieve a better understanding of how these effects arose and could be managed in the future.
Methods
This study was conducted jointly by RO and qualitative health researchers. Data was collected in four online Focus Groups with 6-11 RO researchers (total N = 31) working in Europe. The transcripts were analysed through a qualitative cross-impact analysis.
Results
Causal relations were identified between seventeen variables that depict the impact of disrupted working conditions. Mental health and work productivity were indeed the most important affected variables, but relations between variables towards these impacts were complex. Relations could either be positive or negative and direct or indirect, leading to a cascade of interrelated events which are highly personal and could change over time. We developed the model 'impact of disrupted working conditions' depicting the identified variables and their relations, to allow more individual assessment and personalised solutions.
Conclusion
The impacts of disrupted working conditions on RO researchers varied due to the complexity of interrelated variables. Consequently, collective actions are not sufficient, and a more personal approach is needed. Our impact model is recommended to help guide conversations and reflections with the aim of improving work/life balance. The participants showed high levels of personal responsibility towards their own mental health and work productivity. Although being an individual issue, a collective responsibility in developing such approaches is key due to the dependency on organizational variables

Probing ISM Structure in Trumpler 14 and Carina i Using the Stratospheric Terahertz Observatory 2
No full textWe present observations of the Trumpler 14/Carina I region carried out using the Stratospheric Terahertz Observatory 2. The Trumpler 14/Carina I region is in the western part of the Carina Nebula Complex (CNC), which is one of the most extreme star-forming regions in the Milky Way. We observed Trumpler 14/Carina I in the 158 μm transition of [C ii] with a spatial resolution of 48″ and a velocity resolution of 0.17 km s-1. The observations cover a 0.25 by 0.28 area with central position l = 297.34, b = -0.60. The kinematics show that bright [C ii] structures are spatially and spectrally correlated with the surfaces of CO clouds, tracing the photodissociation region (PDR) and ionization front of each molecular cloud. Along seven lines of sight (LOSs) that traverse Tr 14 into the dark ridge to the southwest, we find that the [C ii] luminosity from the H ii region is 3.7 times that from the PDR. In the same LOS, we find in the PDRs an average ratio of 1 : 4.1 : 5.6 for the mass in atomic gas : dark CO gas : molecular gas traced by CO. Comparing multiple gas tracers, including H i 21 cm, [C ii], CO, and radio recombination lines, we find that the H ii regions of the CNC are well described as H ii regions with one side freely expanding toward us, consistent with the Champagne model of ionized gas evolution. The dispersal of the GMC in this region is dominated by EUV photoevaporation; the dispersal timescale is 20-30 Myr.QN/Gao La

Appropriate leadership in nursing home care:A narrative review
Get PDFPurpose The purpose of this paper is to synthesize the existing evidence on leadership that best matches nursing home care, with a focus on behaviors, effects and influencing factors. Design/methodology/approach A narrative review was performed in three steps: the establishment of scope, systematic search in five databases and assessment and analysis of the literature identified. Findings A total of 44 articles were included in the review. The results of the study imply that a stronger focus on leadership behaviors related to the specific context rather than leadership styles could be of added value in nursing home care. Research limitations/implications Only articles applicable to nursing home care were included. The definition of “nursing home care” may differ between countries. This study only focused on the academic literature. Future research should focus on strategies and methods for the translation of leadership into behavior in practice. Practical implications A broader and more conceptual perspective on leadership in nursing homes – in which leadership is seen as an attribute of all employees and enacted in multiple layers of the organization – could support leadership practice. Originality/value Leadership is considered an important element in the delivery of good quality nursing home care. This study provides insight into leadership behaviors and influencing contextual factors specifically in nursing homes
Structurally embedding patient involvement in the health research system: an ongoing quest
Get PDFThe health research system faces critique for insufficiently matching patients’ needs. To combat this, patient involvement in health research decision-making has been advocated for. Such involvement requires a new way of thinking (culture), organising (structure) and working (practice) for all systems actors. Such a change is hard to achieve: despite patients being involved in various research phases, it is not standard practice and many difficulties remain. This thesis explores the state of the transition towards a system in which involvement is embedded in culture, structure and practice; investigates which factors influence this transition; and experiments with tools and strategies to support transition. I conducted three action-oriented projects. Case one explored child participation in guideline development. We found difficulties around involvement of adults in guideline development appear heightened for children: it hardly happens and children are not taken seriously, child participation is deemed difficult, the structure is rigid and a systems transformation seems not considered urgent by dominant actors. Case one appears in the predevelopment stage, as limited niche experiments by frontrunners have not yet impacted the dominant system. In case two we co-designed a tool stimulating and supporting health researchers to meaningfully involve patients in research design and conduct. Frontrunners and early adaptors are increasingly involving patients. However, involvement is not standard practice, and when it is done it is not always meaningful; it can easily become a checkbox action and impact on decision-making is limited. The traditional, positivistic research culture and rigid structures remain largely unaltered. Prerequisites from funders have not been accompanied by sufficiently accommodating structural changes. This case appears in the take-off phase; some changes to the dominant system appear, but the status quo remains unaltered. In case three, we experimented with the development of a uniquely broad innovation agenda. Patients perspectives not only were important in grounding our broad innovation agenda, this broad approach lead to insights into the issues that hinder the impact of research (agendas). This lead me to critically assess current involvement in agenda-setting. Literature indicates a systems transition for patient involvement in agenda-setting may be reaching the stabilisation phase, as a new culture, structure and practice start to cement. Involvement in agenda-setting has become common practice, and many systems actors have embraced it. Various standardised methods exist, with seemingly little radical innovation. Simultaneously, studies indicate that the impact of such research-agendas on research practice is limited. Thus, stabilisation of the current culture-structure-practice might be undesirable. Despite promising developments, involvement remains an add-on to the traditional system. Interestingly, collective discussion about the functionality of the current health research system, with regards to patient involvement, appears limited. A shared vision of a system in which meaningful involvement is embedded, or the changes that are needed is absent. Consequently, there is little sense of urgency for systems change. Patient involvement risks becoming an ‘intervention’ that must be ‘implemented’, instead of entailing a fundamentally new way of thinking, working and organising. Therefore, transition arenas are required, where different actors collectively discuss the fundamental beliefs, rationales and aims underpinning the health research system. Consequently the role of patient involvement herein and the structural changes required to make this meaningful, should be scrutinized. Experimental new practices and structures should complement this arena. Additionally, case one and two showed that professionals need support to acquire the new competencies required for meaningful involvement. We designed two support tools that stimulate an open and reflexive attitude and stimulate action. In the predevelopment stage, such tools can support frontrunners in experimentation. In later transition stages, they can support a wider group of professionals. However, tools must be accompanied by additional support structures
