Experiences of Staying Healthy in Relationally Demanding Jobs: An Interpretative Phenomenological Study of Work-Engaged Nurses in the Hospital

Background: Based on the experience of hospital nurses, the aim of this study is to explore the phenomenon of how work-engaged nurses stay healthy in relationally demanding jobs involving very sick and/or dying patients. Method: In-depth interviews were conducted with ten work-engaged nurses employed at the main hospital in one region in Norway. The interviews were interpreted using the Interpretative Phenomenological Analysis method (IPA). Results: The results indicate the importance of using the personal resources: authenticity and a sense of humour for staying healthy. The nurses’ authenticity, in the sense of having a strong sense of ownership towards their personal life experiences, and a sense of having a meaningful life in line with their own values and interests, was an important element when they considered their own health to be good in spite of repetitive strain injuries and perceived stress. These personal resources seem to be positively related to their well-being and work engagement, which serves as an argument for including them among other personal resources, often conceptualized in terms of Psychological Capital (PsyCap). The results also showed that the nurses worked actively and intentionally with conditions that could contribute to safeguarding their own health. Conclusion: The results indicated the importance of stimulating the nurses’ area of knowledge about caring for themselves in order to enable them to maintain good physical and mental health. A focus on self-care should be part of the agenda as early as during nursing education.

Online Peer Advice: Giving Advice on Chinese Social Networking Sites

This study investigates advice-giving in peer-to-peer comment sections on Chinese social networking sites. The results show that advice, explanation, experience, and assessment are the four most frequent discursive moves in Chinese advice given by peers on social networking sites. Involvement, mitigation, and face-threatening strategies are also utilized frequently by those peers to give directives and express empathy and solidarity on Chinese online sites, thereby building supportive relationships among them in online communities. The online peer advice-giving in this study is influenced by multiple aspects of the platform, participants, and language use, presenting distinctive characteristics that differ from other studies.

On Answering the Question Related to the Legal Regulation of Working Hours in the New Era:Western Experience and Chinese Approach

The popularity of flexible working hours around the world has slowed down the historical trend of reducing working hours.It even shows signs of regression.Whether and how to guide the cur-rent society with flexible working hours to return to the historical track of reducing working hours,improve the quality of working hours,and promote a smooth transition from the era of traditional standard work-ing hours to the era of flexible working hours has become a question related to the legal regulation of working hours in the new era.In this regard,although Western countries have proposed new regulatory concepts and carried out legislative practices with distinctive charac-teristics,the limitations of legal regulation capabilities have prevented them from proposing a package of institutional solutions.The advan-tage of China in the ability of legal regulation of working hours has been gradually formed in the legislation on working hours unnder the leadership of the CPC in the past century.It enables China to break through the limitations of the West and propose a Chinese approach to answer the question of the legal regulation of working hours in the new era from three aspects:limiting the extension of working hours,improving the quality of flexible working hours,and optimizing the funnctions of the multi-funnctional regulatory system for working hours.

关系主义视角下学校社会工作者入场路径研究

实现在场域中的“入场”是社会工作专业发展的关键议题。已有“入场”研究多从整体主义出发,难以明晰场域内多重关系对社会工作者的影响。本文尝试突破整体主义,从关系主义出发讨论社会工作者入场问题。研究将学校社会工作实践场域拆分为管理子场域、业务子场域和人际子场域,讨论社会工作者进入不同子场域的顺序、路径和方式。首先,社会工作者需要识别实践场域中存在的不同子场域及其关系,并根据当下的资本情况选择进入的子场域。其次,在每个子场域的实践中,社会工作者都需要识别场域的游戏规则,并通过调试自身行动来缴纳入场费,进而开展场域游戏。此外,在每个子场域的实践中,社会工作者都可能积累新的资本,并推动社会工作者识别和进入更多的子场域。

Beyond Stitches: Analysis of Disease Burden in a Bangladeshi RMG Factory

Introduction: Bangladesh has experienced remarkable growth in RMG over the past 25 years. With the knitwear industry providing more than 4 million direct jobs, providing better occupational health and safety of workers remains a challenge. Aim of the study: The aim of the study was to analyze the disease burden of a RMG factory, and to highlight occupational health risks. Methods: A cross-sectional study design was employed for this analysis. A 17-month data entry (January 2020 - May 2021) was gathered from the factory in-house clinic. The socio-demographic and clinical diagnosis entries of 8421 entries were analyzed. Result: The population of the factory workers is 5370, where 40% (2148) are female workers and 60% (3222) are male workers. The mean age of respondents is 30 years, with a SD of ±7 years.

The average cost of medicine for each respondent is BDT 36. The factory covered costs of all medication for 99% (8380) of respondents. Only 0.5% (37) was referred to a tertiary hospital for further evaluation. Conclusion: Garments workers suffer mostly from long-term occupational health hazards. Factory owners and policy makers can contribute in various ways to improving primary healthcare options for workers.

关系主义的艺术作品本体论

在探讨艺术作品本体论时,关系主义模型及其“作品”概念比传统的本质主义模型及其“文本”概念更适于从共时和历时方面揭示艺术作品的根本存在方式。关系主义是一种与本质主义相对立的、把存在视为关系性存在的思想。本质主义坚持内在本质,关系主义主张外部关系;本质是单一本质,而关系是多重关系。关系主义哲学正式形成于20世纪,现象学可视为关系主义的第一个表现。在方法论上,关系主义的艺术作品本体论主要借鉴现象学,坚持现象学的本体论理解。在观点上,关系主义的艺术作品本体论认为,艺术作品并不是斯宾诺莎式的实体,而是一些关系的凝聚点或联结点;艺术作品所联结的关系主要有三重:主客间关系、主体间关系、作品间关系。以往的美学家都只注意到这三重关系中的一两重,迄今尚未见过同时探讨这三重关系的美学理论。
