The questionnaires included MBI and Carlson work-family conflict questionnaires, and the data were analyzed using SPSS 17.Results: A total of 71.6% of nurses worked over 8 h per day during the last two months before the reevaluation. The total score of burnout of nurses was 66.84 ± 12.60, and the proportion of heavy work burnout was 44.2%. The personal accomplishment takes the heaviest portion(80.0%). The total score of work-family conflict is 55.19 ± 9.27. The scores of work-to-family conflict are all higher than that of family-to-work conflict. The time dimension had the highest score.Conclusions: During the preparation period, nurses suffered from a heavy workload and intense job burnout, and many aspects of work-family conflict existed.展开更多

Methods: This postmarketing surveillance was a prospective, observational, 24-week study that complied with the pharmaceutical affairs law and the ministerial ordinance of “Good Post-Marketing Study Practice (GPSP)” in Japan. Safety, efficacy and patient-reported outcomes (PROs);patients’ satisfaction with treatment (DTSQs and DTSQc) and patients’ self-reported health (EQ-5D and EQ-VAS) of combination therapy of insulin glargine and OADs were evaluated. Results: A total of 2,630 patients were enrolled. Of the 2,602 patients in the safety analysis population, 161 patients experienced 175 cases of adverse drug reactions, and the major adverse drug reaction was hypoglycaemia (140 patients, 5.38%). Out of those with hypoglycaemia, 11 patients (0.42%) had severe hypoglycaemia and the incidence rate (episodes per patient-year) was 0.019. Basal supported oral therapy (BOT) with insulin glargine substantially reduced the HbA1c, FPG and 2 hour-PPG levels for 24 weeks by -1.61%, -54.4 mg/dL and -74.5 mg/dL respectively. The mean weight was increased, however the change was +0.50 kg. In addition, the treatment satisfaction scores of DTSQs (mean treatment satisfaction score increased 3.6 from baseline to last observation) and DTSQc, EQ-5D index scores and EQ-VAS scores were significantly improved. Conclusion: Insulin glargine and OADs combination therapy was suggested to be effective and well tolerated. Patients’ satisfaction with treatment and their self-reported health improved in spite of the addition of injections to oral agents. The combination therapy of insulin glargine and OADs including DPP-4 inhibitors is likely to be considered an important therapeutic option in the diabetic patients.展开更多
