Work‐Related Intimate Partner Violence (WIPV): A Systematic Review and Feminist Conceptual Analysis
Authors: Kauzlarich Laura , Greenwood Michelle 
Published: November 2024

ABSTRACTIntimate partner violence (IPV) is a long‐standing and egregious social issue that inherently impacts and is impacted by work and workplaces. Work‐related intimate partner violence (WIPV) is a pattern of IPV that both directly and indirectly undermines victim‐survivors' employment, work, and careers, yet scant attention has been paid in management studies to workplace responses and responsibilities regarding this form of violence. Hence, we conduct a systematic review and conceptual analysis of 111 WIPV‐focused papers utilizing three well‐established feminist lenses to ascertain and conceptualize what we know and do not know about the WIPV domain and, more importantly, to outline an agenda for what we should know from a gendered perspective about WIPV. We develop a gender‐sensitive, multilevel framework with which we investigate and challenge the WIPV research agenda from individual, interactionist, and structural viewpoints, including the interaction between these perspectives. A key purpose of this paper is to extend debate about WIPV beyond the current focus of human resource management (HRM) research and practice on micro‐level employment issues to include meso‐level organizational and macro‐level societal issues. A second and connected purpose is to draw attention to the need to address big societal challenges related to workplaces and to highlight the pivotal role of HRM in fostering ethical and socially sustainable workplaces. Thus, we advance the vital debate about WIPV, provide a template for how gender can be conceptualized in HRM and workplace research, and challenge the boundaries for organizational involvement in areas traditionally deemed as private or societal.

Published: November 2024

ABSTRACTBackground and AimsIntimate partner violence (IPV), perpetrated by male partners, inflicts physical, sexual, or psychological harm on women. During pregnancy, it becomes a significant public health concern and human rights violation, especially in conflict‐affected areas, affecting both mother and fetus negatively. Research in Ethiopia often overlooks nonusers of antenatal services, primarily conducted in health facilities. This study addresses this gap, aiming to provide valuable insights into community dynamics. Hence, this study assessed the prevalence and factors associated with IPV during pregnancy in the conflict‐affected district of Northeast Ethiopia.MethodsA community‐based cross‐sectional study surveyed 603 postpartum women in the Argoba district, Amhara region Northeast Ethiopia, from March 26 to April 25, 2023, utilizing a multistage sampling technique. Data collection employed a structured questionnaire, coded, and entered into Epi‐data 4.6, then analyzed using SPSS version 26. Descriptive and Binary logistic regression analyses were conducted. Adjusted odds ratios were computed at a 95% confidence interval [CI], with a significance level set at p < 0.05. Model fit and multicollinearity were assessed for validity.ResultThe study found an overall prevalence of 45.1% (95% CI: 41.1–49.1) for IPV during pregnancy, with psychological violence being the most prevalent (38.0%), followed by physical (24.7%) and sexual violence (18.6%). Factors significantly associated with IPV included unwanted pregnancy (AOR = 1.94; 95% CI: 1.10–3.47), women's acceptance of violence (AOR = 2.39; 95% CI: 1.64–3.48), having a partner who chews khat (AOR = 1.99; 95% CI: 1.31–3.03), and spouse's engagement in multiple sexual partners (AOR = 1.63; 95% CI: 1.03–2.58).ConclusionThe study's findings indicate a higher prevalence compared to others, with key factors including unwanted pregnancy, acceptance of violence, khat chewing, and multiple sexual partners. Recommendations include comprehensive sex education, awareness campaigns, relationship counseling, community engagement, improved healthcare access, stronger legal frameworks, and empowerment programs.

ABSTRACTBackground and AimThis study aims to compare the mortality rate, length of stay (LOS), and hospitalization cost in patients with and without healthcare‐associated infections (HCAIs).MethodsThis prospective cohort study is conducted on 396 matched patients admitted to a tertiary teaching hospital with 800 beds in the southwest of Iran from July 2021 to January 2022. The cases were patients admitted during the study period who had, at minimum, one type of HCAI. For a comparison group, we considered all patients without HCAIs who hospitalized in the same ward and at the same time with the same age and gender in a ratio of one case to three controls. Descriptive analyses were done based on direct medical costs, LOS, and mortality rate in patients. The magnitude of the relationship between potential risk factors and HCAI was quantified using logistic regression.ResultsThe most common HCAI and microorganisms were urinary tract infection (UTI) and Escherichia coli, respectively. The mean LOS for infected patients was 20.3 (±16) days, compared to 8.7 (±8.6) days for noninfected patients (p value ≤ 0.05). Lengths of stay (odds ratio [OR] = 1.09; 95% CI = 1.06–1.19; p value = 0.000), ICU lengths of stay (OR = 1.08; 95% CI = 1.02–1.15; p value = 0.003), presence of central Catheter (OR = 0.127; 95% CI = 0.51–0.319; p value = 0.000), and urinary catheter (OR = 0.225; 95% CI = 0.122–0.415; p value = 0.000), mechanical ventilation (OR = 0.136; 95% CI = 0.57–0.325; p value = 0.000), receipt of immunosuppressors (OR = 1.99; 95% CI = 11.12–3.56; p value = 0.01), were Significantly associated with HCAI. Patients with infections had a more costly hospital stay than noninfected patients (mean diff: $2037.46 ([SD]: 482.25$) (p value = 0.000). The highest cost component was the cost of medication expenditure (mean: $1612.66 ([SD]: $2542.27).ConclusionsUTI was the most common HCAI in our study. An infection acquired during a hospital stay may be associated with higher hospitalization costs, prolonged hospitalization, and an increase in the rate of mortality. Longer lengths of stay, presence of central and urinary Catheters, receipt of immunosuppressors, use of mechanical ventilator were common risk factors for HCAI. This study reveals that the median reimbursement cost per hospitalization of patients with HCAIs was higher than patients without HCAIs. This highlights the necessity for implementation of HCAI prevention and control measures.

ABSTRACTBackground and AimsApplying the clinical scenario teaching method using approaches such as group discussion facilitates the possibility of learning and developing creativity in a real clinical learning environment. However, few studies have been done in this field. The present study aimed to evaluate the effect of scenario‐based group discussion training on the creativity level of nursing students.Material and MethodsThis study was a randomized controlled educational trial from January to October 2019 conducted on nursing students at Shiraz University of Medical Sciences. Nursing students were randomly assigned into intervention and control groups (22 per each group). The students in the intervention group participated in a training program consisting of three 60‐min sessions per week for two consecutive weeks. In each session, 2–3 scenarios were presented, and the students discussed about it. Each student was asked to submit a practical activity in a written story. In the control group, the training was conducted in the usual way (Students' presentation and discussion of presented content without scenario presentation). Data were collected using a validated creativity questionnaire. Data were analyzed in SPSS software, version 22, using Chi‐square and t‐test and the significance level was considered p < 0.05.ResultsThe results showed that immediately after the intervention, a difference was observed between the groups concerning the mean score of fluency (p = 0.02) and originality (p = 0.03), but there was not a significant difference between the groups concerning the overall score of creativity (p = 0.09).ConclusionIt can be concluded that scenario‐based group discussion training is effective for improving the dimensions of the fluency and originality creativity of nursing students. It seems that scenario‐based education is an appropriate radical method for traditional education methods.Trial Registration: IRCT Registration Number: IRCT20140503017546N13; Registration Date: 09.05.2018.

ABSTRACTBackground and AimsGiven the importance of social determinants on health outcomes, training medical sciences students in addressing social determinants of health can enhance their effectiveness and social accountability. The aim of this study was to assess the effect of an educational program on the knowledge and attitude of medical sciences students regarding social determinants of health.MethodsUsing a one‐group pretest‐posttest quasi‐experimental design, this study selected 200 students from a medical university in Iran through simple random sampling. A tailored educational intervention, grounded in the conceptual framework for action on social determinants of health, was implemented. To assess the program's effect, data were collected using a validated questionnaire that measured the students' knowledge and attitudes towards social determinants of health both at baseline (pretest) and 1 month following the intervention (posttest).ResultsThe application of the Wilcoxon Signed‐Ranks Test revealed a significant increase in the median scores for knowledge and attitude postintervention. Specifically, the posttest median scores were significantly elevated compared to the pretest knowledge score (Z = −11.89, p < 0.001) and attitude score (Z = −11.60, p < 0.001). This indicates that the educational intervention significantly improved the students' knowledge and attitudes concerning social determinants of health.ConclusionThe study outcomes suggest that educational interventions focused on social determinants of health effectively improve students' knowledge and attitudes. We recommend integrating such programs into the medical sciences curriculum and experiential training. By doing so, we can better prepare future healthcare professionals to address social determinants of health‐related issues. This approach has the potential to reduce health disparities and also addresses broader social challenges affecting population health.

ABSTRACTBackgroundThe quality of the healthcare system and the achievement of specific patient outcomes rely on the contentment of pharmacy experts working in both public and private pharmacies. This study aims to evaluate and compare the levels of job satisfaction among pharmacy professionals employed in public and private medication retail outlets in Gondar town, northwest Ethiopia.MethodA cross‐sectional survey was conducted to assess job satisfaction and associated factors among pharmacy professionals in public and private pharmacies in Gondar town from July 20 to August 1, 2022. All pharmacy professionals were included in the study and no sample size was calculated. Bivariable and multivariable binary logistic regression analysis was used to identify the factors associated with job satisfaction and a p < 0.05 was considered significant with 95% CI.ResultA total of 217 private and public pharmacy professionals were included in the study, and 183 volunteered to participate with a response rate of 84%. Among the study participants, 52.5% were dissatisfied with their job. The majority of the respondents (92.3%) believed that the job has a good future, 72% of them received good recognition from the community for their job and more than half (57.3%) received a good salary. Private pharmacy workers were found to be more satisfied than public pharmacy workers (AOR: 2.770), pharmacy professionals who had good salaries and benefits, (AOR: 0.302), and individuals who were closeness of their workplace to home (AOR: 0.298) were significantly associated with job satisfaction levels.ConclusionIn this study, more than half of participants were disatisfied with their job. Pharmacy professionals working in private medication retail outlets, who had good salaries and benefits, and lived close to their homes were significantly associated with job satisfaction levels.

Published: November 2024

ABSTRACTBackground and AimsRates of psychosis in the homeless population are markedly higher compared to the general population. Understanding potential psychological mechanisms underpinning links between psychosis and homelessness is important for the development of effective care pathways for this highly marginalised group. This study aimed to examine the housing status of a sample of people with psychosis admitted to psychiatric inpatient hospital in one UK mental health trust. We further aimed to examine the presence and relevance of symptoms which were directly related to housing (e.g., persecutory beliefs about neighbours).MethodsA cross‐sectional study was conducted using an electronic healthcare database, containing anonymised patient records (Clinical Record Interactive Search). Information on housing status, symptoms, and content of symptoms relating to housing were extracted and independently double‐coded from clinical notes at the person's admission.Results351 service users were in the sample, which covered discharges over a 12‐month period (1st April 2021 to 31st March 2022). There was a higher proportion of individuals living without a fixed address in the sample (10%) compared to population estimates (1%–2%). Housing‐related thematic content of symptoms was evident in 34% of the sample (e.g., attributing voices to neighbours, feeling under surveillance at home). The only variable significantly associated with housing status was gender, with men at higher odds of unstable housing compared to women. Individuals with concerns directly related to their housing or housing instability were no more likely to have a longer length of admission than those without housing‐related concerns.ConclusionA significant proportion of individuals with psychosis admitted for psychiatric inpatient treatment, experienced housing instability. For some of the sample, symptom content directly related to housing. This raises important considerations for how social needs are assessed on admission to psychiatric hospital. Further research in this area is encouraged.

ABSTRACTBackground and AimsPrevious studies describe the occurrence of unacceptable behaviors reported by students pursuing health professional education in Aotearoa, New Zealand and across the globe. These include, but are not limited to, experiences of verbal abuse, sexual harassment, and discrimination based on race/ethnicity, religious beliefs, gender, and sexual orientation. University of Otago teaching staff across the various health professional programs often receive anecdotal reports of these phenomena from their clinical students. Our study will investigate the extent and sources of unacceptable behaviors, whether students report those events, and possible institutional responses to these behaviors.MethodsA student codesign panel was formed alongside the research team to guide study design and data collection. This study will use a sequential two‐phase mixed methods design. The first phase will include a cross‐sectional survey using a modified version of a validated online questionnaire administered to all clinical students across the seven health professional programs at the University of Otago. The second phase will recruit students to participate in semi‐structured interviews. Descriptive and thematic analysis will be applied.ConclusionThis novel mixed‐method study may offer valuable insights into the prevalence and impact of unacceptable behaviors on health professional students at the University of Otago, while ensuring student perspectives are incorporated into both the research design and the university's response strategies.
Coparenting conflict moderates the association between maternal prenatal depressive symptoms and infant regulatory capacity

Published: November 2024

AbstractAs a development‐enhancing or a risk‐promoting environment, coparenting may shape the association between maternal prenatal depressive symptoms and infant regulatory capacity. This study aimed to analyse the moderator role of coparenting cooperation and conflict in the association between maternal prenatal depressive symptoms and infant regulatory capacity at 3 months. The sample comprised 103 primiparous couples (N = 206 parents) and their 3‐month‐old infants (53.7% female). Mothers reported on depressive symptoms at the first trimester of pregnancy, and both parents reported on coparenting, and infant regulatory capacity at 2 weeks and 3 months postpartum. Higher levels of maternal prenatal depressive symptoms and higher levels of coparenting conflict reported by parents at 2 weeks postpartum were associated with lower infant regulatory capacity at 3 months. Coparenting conflict at 2 weeks postpartum accentuated the association between maternal prenatal depressive symptoms and infant regulatory capacity at 3 months. The results support a view of coparenting conflict as a risk‐promoting environment that can accentuate the association between maternal prenatal depressive symptoms and infant regulatory capacity. Infants in families with mothers with elevated prenatal depressive symptoms and with high levels of coparenting conflict may be at high risk of low regulatory capacity.

ABSTRACTBackgroundThe pediatric community is considered a suitable target for controlling the spread and mortality of viral diseases. In late December 2019, a respiratory disease due to the novel coronavirus, later COVID‐19, hit the globe. The COVID‐19 global disruption had direct and indirect impacts on different aspects of child health. Therefore, surveillance, preventive approaches, and treatment plans for children came into the spotlight.ObjectiveThis study aims to discuss the clinical pictures as well as laboratory and radiological findings of the infected children during the COVID‐19 pandemic. The focus of this study is to express the clinical manifestations of respiratory disease in pediatric SARS‐CoV‐2, available therapeutic options, vaccine recommendations, and long COVID sequelae in affected children. This review could serve as a hint for upcoming challenges in pediatric care during future pandemics.ResultsThe clinical presentation of COVID‐19 in pediatrics can range from mild pulmonary disease to acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS). Supportive care is a crucial component of the management of pediatric COVID‐19. However, the importance of specializing in how to treat patients with more severe conditions cannot be overstated. Additionally, clinicians must consider prevention strategies as well as potential complications.ConclusionAlthough the infected patients are dipping day by day, there is a lack of clinical guidelines for pediatric SARS‐CoV‐2‐associated pulmonary diseases. Understanding of the physicians about all aspects of pediatric care during the COVID‐19 pandemic could lead to enhanced quality of future patient care and safety, reduced costs of health policies, and surveil the risk that patients with respiratory viruses can expose to society.

Published: November 2024

ABSTRACTIn recent years, the exploration of sustainable alternatives in the field of bone tissue engineering has led researchers to focus on marine waste byproducts as a valuable resource. These marine resources, often overlooked remnants of various industries, exhibit a rich composition of hydroxyapatite, collagen, calcium carbonate, and other minerals essential to the complex framework of bone structure. Marine waste by‐products can emit gases such as methane and carbon dioxide, highlighting the urgency to repurpose these materials for innovative tissue regeneration solutions, offering a sustainable approach to address environmental challenges while advancing medical science. Using these discarded materials offers a promising pathway for sustainable development in regenerative medicine. This review investigates the distinctive properties of marine waste byproducts, emphasizing their capacity to be recycled effectively to contribute to the rebuilding of bone and cartilage tissue during regeneration processes. We also highlight the compatibility of these resources with biological materials such as platelet‐rich plasma (PRP), stem cells, exosomes, and natural bioproducts, as well as nanoparticles (NPs) and polymers. By using the natural potential of these resources, we simultaneously address environmental challenges and promote innovative solutions in skeletal tissue engineering, initiating a new era of environmentally green biomedical research.
