Report Piepoli, in 10 anni è cambiata l’immagine dello psicologo

Objectives
To study whether early and enhanced cooperation within the primary care centres (PCC) combined with workplace cooperation via a person-centred employer dialogue meeting can reduce days on sick leave compared with usual care manager contact for patients on sick leave because of common mental disorders (CMD). Secondary aim: to study lapse of CMD symptoms, perceived Work Ability Index (WAI) and quality of life (QoL) during 12 months.

Design
Pragmatic cluster randomised controlled trial, randomisation at PCC level.

Setting
28 PCCs in Region Västra Götaland, Sweden, with care manager organisation.

Participants
30 PCCs were invited, 28 (93%) accepted invitation (14 intervention, 14 control) and recruited 341 patients newly sick-listed because of CMD (n=185 at intervention, n=156 at control PCCs).

Intervention
Complex intervention consisting of (1) early cooperation among general practitioner (GP), care manager and a rehabilitation coordinator, plus (2) a person-centred dialogue meeting between patient and employer within 3 months. Control group: regular contact with care manager.

Main outcome measures
12 months net and gross number of sick leave days at group level. Secondary outcomes: 12 months depression, anxiety, stress symptoms, perceived WAI and QoL (EuroQoL-5 Dimensional, EQ-5D).

Results
No significant differences were found between intervention and control groups concerning days of sick leave (intervention net days of sick leave mean 102.48 (SE 13.76) vs control 96.29 (SE 12.38) p=0.73), return to work (HR 0.881, 95% CI 0.688 to 1.128), or CMD symptoms, WAI or EQ-5D after 12 months.

Conclusions
It is not possible to speed up CMD patients’ return to work or to reduce sick leave time by early and enhanced coordination among GP, care manager and a rehabilitation coordinator, combined with early workplace contact over and above what ‘usual’ care manager contact during 3 months provides.

Objective
This study was aimed to determine the relationship between job stress and work-related quality of life (WRQoL) among emergency medical technicians (EMTs) in Lorestan province, Western Iran.

Design
This was a cross-sectional study.

Methods
Totally 430 EMTs who had been engaged in their respective units for more than 6 months from all emergency facilities in Lorestan province were selected using single stage cluster sampling method. Data were collected from April to July 2019 using two standard questionnaires: job stress (Health and Safety Executive (HSE)) and WRQoL. The OR with 95% CI was used to declare the statistical association (p≤0.05).

Results
All participants were exclusively males, with a mean age of 32±6.87 years. The overall average score of job stress using the HSE scale was 2.69±0.43; while the overall quality of working life score was 2.48±1.01. The type of working shift was found to have a significant impact on the HSE-average score (F(3,417)=5.26, p=0.01); and on the WRQoL-average score (F(3,417)=6.89, p

Objective
This study aimed to understand experiences with stress and coping strategies used among families in the COVID-19 pandemic.

Design/Setting
This qualitative study took place in the paediatric outpatient clinics of a large academic medical centre in the USA between March and July of 2021.

Participants
Parents (over the age of 18 years) of children under the age of 18 years were invited to complete a 30-minute semistructured interview.

Primary and secondary outcome measures
Participants were asked about types of stressors experienced during the COVID-19 pandemic and coping strategies used. All interviews were audio recorded and transcribed. In the grounded theory tradition, transcripts underwent thematic analysis.

Results
A total of 26 participants completed interviews, including 88% (n=23) women, 85% (n=22) reported having children under the age of 10 years and 65% (n=17) were 30–50 years of age. Themes that emerged included the compounding effect of COVID-19 stressors, in which participants described multiple, intersecting sources of stress. One parent noted, “I worked two different jobs, since the other job I had counted on working, I lost because of COVID. And so, working from home, also with the kids, was stressful.” The second theme reflected the challenges for children with virtual schooling due to decreased educational support. The third theme was the need for parental self-care. The fourth theme was finding the silver lining in which parents noted unforeseen opportunities for resilience by spending time in nature and activities promoting family bonding.

Conclusions
Parents indicated need for self-care, connecting with their child(ren) and spending time in nature. Future work should develop approaches to support families in these areas when facing complex stressors, especially during a pandemic or other times of crisis.

Introduction
Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) symptoms in youth are influenced by parental anxiety and stress. When parents have high levels of stress or have developed PTSD themselves, children tend to show more anxiety symptoms. Parental stress can affect the severity of children’s PTSD and lower the success of recovery. However, the influence of parental stress on the effectiveness of trauma-focused therapies (eye movement desensitisation and reprocessing and cognitive behavioural therapy) has not yet been investigated to our knowledge. Hence, we will measure parental stress (using both validated scales and vocal acoustic markers) and investigate how it influences children’s PTSD recovery.

Method and analysis
Sixty children between the ages of 7 and 15 years who experienced type 1 trauma will be recruited at the Nice Pediatric Psychotrauma Center in France. We plan to measure stress using two different approaches. We will ask parents to answer validated scales of stress and mood in general. Stress will also be measured using vocal acoustic markers. Parents will be recorded while narrating their child’s trauma and during the narrative of a positive and neutral recall of events. Child participants will have to complete anxiety, PTSD and depression scales before the beginning of the trauma-focused therapy and after 3 months of treatment.
Linear mixed effects models and differential statistics, such as significance testing corrected for multiple testing, will be used to determine the validity of speech features for the proposed hypotheses. Repeated measures analysis of variance will be performed on the clinical scales scores according to parental stress. Correlations will be performed between clinical scales of parents and children according to time of assessment.

Ethics and dissemination
This study was approved by the Committee for the Protection of Individuals of the University of Nice Sophia Antipolis (CERNI) on 21 February 2022, under the number CER2022-015.
All participants will be informed that this is an observational study and their consent taken prior to the experiment. Participants will be informed that they can withdraw from the study at any time and that it would not affect the care provided.

Stroke, Ahead of Print. Background:Bone or cartilage anomalies with affection of brain supplying arteries are a potential structural cause for ischemic stroke. In the following, we termed this entity bony stroke. Due to rarity of their description, there is no standardized workup and therapy for bony strokes.Methods:Retrospectively, we extracted diagnostic and therapeutic workup of all patients considered to have had a bony stroke between January 2017 to March 2022 at our comprehensive care center.Results:In total, 6 patients classified as a bony stroke were identified among 4200 acute patients with ischemic stroke treated during the study period. Each patient had recurrent ischemic strokes in the dependent vascular territory before diagnosis. Diagnosis was achieved by a combination of imaging devices, including sonography, computed tomography, and magnetic resonance imaging. In addition to conventional static imaging, the application of dynamic imaging modalities with the patients’ head in rotation or reclination confirmed a vessel affection following head movements in 3 patients (50%). Treatment options were interdisciplinary assessed and included the following: conservative treatment (n=1), endovascular stenting (n=2) or occlusion (n=2), surgical removal of bone/ cartilage (n=2), and surgical bypass treatment (n=1). In follow-up (mean 11.7 months), no patient experienced further ischemia.Conclusions:As a differential diagnosis, bony strokes may be considered in patients with recurrent ischemic stroke of unknown cause in one dependent vascular territory. Interdisciplinary evaluation and treatment may eliminate risk of stroke recurrence.

Objective
This scoping review aims to identify the COVID-19-related stressors and the corresponding coping strategies among emergency physicians during and following the pandemic.

Introduction
In the midst of an unprecedented COVID-19 crisis, healthcare professionals confront a diverse set of difficulties. Emergency physicians are under immense pressure. They must provide frontline care and make quick decisions in a high-pressure environment. This can lead to a variety of physical and psychological stressors, including extended working hours, increased workload, personal risk of infection and the emotional toll of caring for infected patients. It is critical that they be informed of the numerous stressors they face, as well as the various coping methods accessible to them, in order to deal with these pressures.

Inclusion criteria
This paper will summarise the findings of primary or secondary investigations on emergency physicians’ stressors and coping strategies during and following the COVID-19 epidemic. All journals and grey literature in English and Mandarin published after January 2020 are eligible.

Methods
The Joanna Briggs Institute (JBI) method will be used to conduct the scoping review. A thorough literature search will be performed on OVID Medline, Scopus and Web of Science to find eligible studies, using the keywords related to emergency physicians, stress and coping strategies. Two reviewers will independently revise all of the full-text articles, extract data and evaluate the study quality. A narrative overview of the findings from included studies will be given.

Ethics and dissemination
This review will involve secondary analysis of published literature, and therefore ethics approval is not required. The Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic reviews and Meta-Analyses checklist will be used to guide translation of findings. Results will be disseminated through peer-reviewed journals and presented in conferences via abstract and presentation.

Although small patient subsets benefit from current targeted strategies or immunotherapy, gemcitabine remains the first-line drug for pancreatic cancer (PC) treatment. However, gemcitabine resistance is widespread and compromises long-term survival. Here, we identified ubiquitin-conjugating enzyme E2T (UBE2T) as a potential therapeutic target to combat gemcitabine resistance in PC.
