Abstract

Objectives: We investigated salivary biomarkers of stress, more specifically, cortisol and alpha-amylase, to evaluate effects of individualized music listening (IML) in people with dementia. Method: Participants were N = 64 nursing home residents with dementia (meanage = 83.53 ± 7.71 years, 68.8% female). Participants were randomly assigned to either listening to their favorite music every other day for a period of six weeks (intervention), or standard care (control). Using the Saliva Children's Swab (SCS), saliva was collected before, after, and 20 min after IML sessions at the beginning and end of the intervention period for the analysis of salivary alpha-amylase and cortisol. Results: Using the SCS was feasible in people with dementia. Nevertheless, there was no effect of IML on salivary stress markers. Discussion: Although using SCS was feasible, active patient engagement is required. Future studies need to corroborate findings in larger samples. Trial registration: German Clinical Trials Register: DRKS00015641, ISRCTN registry: ISRCTN59052178. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

21. When You Get What You Want, but Not What You Need: Digital Versus Traditional Resources.

Author

Abstract

Drawing on the conservation of resources theory, this study delves into the influence of digital versus traditional resources on employee stress during the execution of novel tasks. In a controlled field experiment involving frontline employees from a German manufacturing firm, we examine the impact of resource gain (providing either traditional or digital resources) and resource loss (withdrawing both types of resources) on stress levels. Results indicate that digital resource gains, with their ability to reduce cognitive load, outperform traditional resource gains in stress reduction. They are what we want in production. However, both digital and traditional resource losses lead to increased stress levels. More importantly, the magnitude of stress increase linked to the loss of digital resources exceeds that associated with the loss of traditional resources. These findings point toward the importance of leveraging available resources to develop the knowledge, skills, and abilities necessary for novel task performance. In this context, digital resources reflect what we want in production, but not necessarily what we need. This research expands our understanding of how different resources contribute to work-related stress, emphasizing the need to distinguish between their immediate and enduring effects.

Abstract

A physical or mental illness affects not only patients but also their family environment. The immediate (caring) relatives are of particular importance in coping with the illness. However, they are often overlooked as invisible patients in the second row. Using selected diseases such as cancer, dementia and pain as examples, the following article will illustrate the special importance of working with relatives and couples. The focus in this article is on adult relatives. The group of children as relatives requires separate consideration., Competing Interests: Erklärung zu finanziellen InteressenForschungsförderung erhalten: nein; Honorar/geldwerten Vorteil für Referententätigkeit erhalten: ja, von einer anderen Institution (Pharma- oder Medizintechnikfirma usw.); Bezahlter Berater/interner Schulungsreferent/ Gehaltsempfänger: ja, von einer anderen Institution (Pharma- oder Medizintechnikfirma usw.); Patent/ Geschäftsanteile/Aktien (Autor/Partner, Ehepartner, Kinder) an im Bereich der Medizin aktiven Firma: nein; Patent/ Geschäftsanteile/Aktien (Autor/Partner, Ehepartner, Kinder) an zu Sponsoren dieser Fortbildung bzw. durch die Fortbildung in ihren Geschäftsinteressen berührten Firma: nein.Erklärung zu nichtfinanziellen InteressenDie Autorinnen/Autoren geben an, dass kein Interessenkonflikt besteht., (Thieme.
