Introduction: Academic stress is a recurring phenomenon among university students, especially in demanding programs such as Nursing. It can trigger a range of physical, psychological, and behavioral symptoms that affect students' academic performance and mental health. Objective: To determine the relationship between academic stress factors and associated symptoms in nursing students at the National University of San Martín during the 2022-I academic semester. Methods: A basic, quantitative, descriptive-correlational study with a non-experimental cross-sectional design was conducted. The population consisted of 355 students, from which a sample of 183 was selected using simple random sampling. Two previously validated questionnaires were administered: the Academic Stressors Scale (ECEA) and the Questionnaire on Reactions to Stressful Stimuli. Results: The main stress factors identified were methodological deficiencies of the teaching staff, exams, and student overload. At the symptom level, average levels predominated for physical symptoms (43.2%) and psychological symptoms (53.5%), while low levels predominated for behavioral symptoms (55.2%). A significant correlation was found between academic stress factors and physical (r = 0.513), psychological (r = 0.584), and behavioral (r = 0.514) symptoms. Conclusions: There is a direct and significant relationship between academic stress factors and associated symptoms, highlighting the need to implement institutional strategies to prevent stress and promote student well-being.

The study examined assessing the awareness and use of ICT tools among university students in Nigeria: Implications for digital literacy. ICT tools in the case of higher education denote a vast array of technological tools utilized in communication, creation, dissemination, storage, and management of information. The research design used was a descriptive survey research. The study population consisted of undergraduate students in the Nigerian universities. Currently, according to the National Universities Commission (NUC) data, more than 2.3 million undergraduates study at 43 federal universities, 48 state universities, and 79 private universities of the country. A sample population of 585 respondents was picked out of an estimated population of 656 qualified students who had undergone or had access to institutional ICT facilities in the chosen universities, or participated in ICT-related courses. The findings indicate that ICT use in communication, internet use, and social networking were highly used by students and academic ICT use was less prevalent (data analysis, reference management, and e-library access). The results have wide implications on the development of digital-literacy in universities in Nigeria. The study concluded that ICT awareness among the Nigerian university students is high, but not evenly distributed among the institutions. Most students are conversant with the general ICT tools yet they have inadequate skills on academic-specific technologies that are vital in academics interaction. It was recommended that ICT cannot be isolated to be taught in computer science departments but it must be mainstreamed to all courses. The course evaluation may incorporate the Internet-based elements, online portfolios or e-projects submission to promote active ICT use.

Background: There is evidence that Mongolia did not maintain official nursing records to record nursing care provided to patients prior to 2013. In a review conducted by Finnish researcher Kaija S et al., 143 It is important to note that the nursing history should not only have a standard vocabulary, but also to have a common understanding of how to record information about daily activities and patient safety. Researchers B. Azjargal et al. considered that the complete implementation of the nursing history assessment using the Gordon index is moderately problematic. In addition, researchers D. Ariunaa et al . in their study evaluating the nursing history of patients with acute myocardial infarction determined that 80.5% of 36 patients with acute myocardial infarction had a nursing history. However, it is reasonable to study the nursing history recording of patients with specialized care such as hematology, blood cancer, chemotherapy, and bone marrow transplantation. Objective : Studying the characteristics of medical history taking in a hematology and bone marrow transplant center. Methods and methodology: The study used a qualitative research document method to analyze 50 nursing records maintained by the Center for Nursing Care of the National University of Mongolia (NUM). A total of 4 records maintained by nurses were analyzed using a qualitative research document method. The analysis was conducted using an 8-question assessment form based on the nursing record keeping instructions approved by the Minister of Health’s Order No. 611 of 2019. Statistical processing: The data from the survey, which assessed the nursing history of the participating health care institutions, were processed using the statistical software for social research, SPSS-22. Results: In the study of nursing history taking, 62% (50) of 20-30 and 38% (19) of 31-40 were found, 58% (29) of 31-40 were found, 42% (21) of 31-40 were found, 70% (35) of 31-30 were found to be male, 24% (12) of 31-40 were found to be female, 2% (1) of 31-40 were found to be male, 2% (1) of 31-40 were found to be female, 2% (1) of 31-40 were found to be male, 2% (2 % (41), #39-100% (50), #46-46% (23), #1-6% (3), #29-12% (6), #33-56% (28), #18-36% (3). The diagnosis was made according to the assessment 72% yes, no 28%, the plan was made according to the diagnosis 82% yes, no 18%, whether the most important plan was planned was yes 58% no 42%, the diagnosis choice is low when keeping the history of patients with blood disorders. Conclusion: In monitoring the nursing history, it is concluded that 80% of the diagnosis choices are recorded on # 6, which is a complication of blood disorders.

As students increasingly take responsibility for their own development, graduate attributes have become more prominent in higher education. However, research often overlooks students’ perspectives. This study examines how undergraduate physiotherapy students at the Maldives National University (MNU) perceive, understand, and acquire GA(s), with a focus on lifelong learning and professionalism. The study employs a mixed-methods approach to investigate undergraduate students’ perceptions of graduate attributes, focusing on their understanding, perceived importance, and processes of acquisition within higher education. A total of 16 participants completed the quantitative survey, and five took part in a focus group discussion. The mean age was 24.75 ±5.6 years, with 75% female participants. The discussions were recorded and transcribed. The quantitative data was analysed using descriptive statistics, while qualitative data was thematically analysed. Descriptive data analysis revealed that 56.3% (n=9) participants were not familiar with the graduate attributes while 25% (n=4) reported they were aware of it, and 18.8% (n=3) answered that they were not sure whether they knew about it. Through iterative coding and thematic categorisation, emergent themes highlighted the importance of attributes such as critical thinking, communication, teamwork, adaptability, and ethical decision-making. Furthermore, the thematic analysis identified factors that shape the development of graduate attributes. In conclusion, this research contributes to the ongoing discourse on enhancing undergraduate education by presenting crucial perspectives from students as the primary stakeholders. Educators and policymakers need to understand students’ perspectives and experiences with graduate attributes to better prepare students for their future roles as professionals, leaders, and citizens in a dynamic world. This understanding can guide the design of interventions and programs that foster holistic development.

This qualitative study examined the teamwork development process among graduate students participating in the International Development Cooperation Expert Training Program at Seoul National University’s Department of Human Systems Medicine. The three-semester program comprised theoretical coursework, mixed methods research, and a field practicum in Cambodia. The curriculum was deliberately structured with progressively increasing levels of difficulty across semesters. Ten participants, including a professor, a teaching assistant, and graduate students from various disciplines, were recruited. Data were collected through semi-structured interviews and analyzed using thematic analysis. The teamwork development process emerged as a five-phase sequence: team building, adjustment, rule setting, implementation, and adaptation. The initial phase involved overcoming unfamiliarity through task-oriented collaboration. The adjustment phase centered on negotiating role conf licts and task-related conf licts. During the rule setting phase, psychological safety was crucial, enabling members to acknowledge knowledge gaps without fear of judgment. This phase also included the establishment of communication norms and stabilization of leadership. Implementation was marked by efficient role allocation based on expertise and creative problem-solving. In the adaptation phase, teams adjusted rapidly to field conditions, embraced f lexible role execution, and strengthened trust through active knowledge exchange. The findings highlight that trust-based psychological safety, clear role definition, conflict mediation, autonomous collaboration, and adaptability are central to effective teamwork in medical education. The study underscores the need for structured, process-oriented approaches in teamwork education for global medical contexts that cultivate psychological safety, incorporate gradually increasing difficulty, and require sufficient time investment.

The aim of the study was to investigate the impact of a paracetamol (PCM)- and additive-containing pharmaceutical (Infulgan) on growth characteristics of the seeds and seedlings of Triticum aestivum L. and Lepidium sativum L., phytotoxicity for L. sativum and on microbial contamination of seeds for T. aestivum. Methods. Winter soft wheat (T. aestivum) variety Bogdana and garden cress (L. sativum) variety Afrodita were used as test plants in laboratory conditions (Problematic Research Laboratory of "Ecological Biochemistry, Ichthyology and Biocorrosion" of T.H. Shevchenko National University "Chernihiv Colehium"). Aqueous solutions of Infulgan were used, which contained from 0.1x10^-5 (10 mg/L) to 0.2% w/v (2,000 mg/L) PCM. In a growth test, the germination energy (%), germination (%) of T. aestivum and L. sativum seeds (3rd day), and some biometric and morphometric indices of seedlings were evaluated: T. aestivum: coleoptile length, number of roots on the 7th day; L. sativum roots and shoot on the 5th day, simplified vitality index, relative root growth percentage. Phytotoxic indices were estimated for L. sativum only. The seed contamination incidence percentage (CIP) was also estimated. The results were analyzed using mathematical and statistical methods. Results. It was established that: 1) germination energy and seed germination rate did not change in all treatments with all concentrations of PCM investigated, when using the pharmaceutical Infulgan; 2) the growth indices of wheat and garden cress were statistically significantly impaired by a solution containing 0.05-0.2% PCM. Moreover, wheat seed was affected considerably by undetermined microbial contamination. A statistically significant decrease (1.2-2.5-fold) in the length of the wheat coleoptile compared to the control was recorded, along with an increase in the number of roots per seed (from 5.9±0.1 to 6.0±0.4 compared to 4.4±0.2 in the control). A significant increase in wheat root formation (5.2±0.2 roots per seed) was also recorded for PCM at 0.025%, PCM concentrations of 0.025%, 0.002%, 0.25x10^-4% and 0.1x10^-5% did not negatively impact plant growth indices. Conclusions. The germination energy and seed germination rate did not change under the influence of PCM as formulated in the pharmaceutical Infulgan at any concentration tested, however, the biometric indices of seedlings changed significantly. A substantial toxicity of Infulgan solutions was observed for L. sativum, at concentrations higher than 0.025%. Infulgan at a 0.05-0.2% PCM concentration enhanced root formation with 36%, where not only PCM, but also the excipients of the drug could have played a (so far unexplored) role. In wheat seed with higher PCM concentrations a substantial (so far undefined) microbial contamination of 77-100% was observed. Therefore, the ecotoxicity of PCM and its formulations should be assessed more comprehensively, taking PCM and its excipients (as formulation and as separate compounds) into account. At present known PCM concentrations characteristic of wastewater and environment appear not to pose a risk to the germination and growth of wheat and water cress.

Occipital condylar canals (OCCs) and associated condylar emissary veins contribute to brain thermoregulation, waste clearance, and venous outflow, particularly in an upright posture, supporting intracranial pressure regulation and cerebral homeostasis. When present, OCCs are critical landmarks in posterolateral skull base approaches, including the far lateral and transcondylar surgical routes. Their identification is useful for avoiding neurovascular injury during craniovertebral junction procedures. Despite their potential surgical relevance, the variability in OCCs (presence, associated symmetry or asymmetry, and morphometry) remains poorly documented. This study aimed to provide a detailed identification analysis of the inconsistent OCCs [the posterior condylar canals (PCCs) and paracondylar canals (PCs)], emphasizing their morphometry to enhance applied anatomic knowledge and improve surgical planning. A total of 113 dried adult European skulls were examined at the National and Kapodistrian University of Athens to determine the prevalence of PCCs and PCs. When present, morphometric evaluations were performed according to laterality using metal wire probes to confirm patency. The prevalence of presence and absence was recorded based on laterality. All variables were additionally analyzed by sex, and significance was assessed using Fisher's exact test (P < .05). PCC was identified in 74.3% of the specimens (bilateral, 44.2%; unilateral left-sided, 13.3%; and unilateral right-sided, 16.8%). Females showed a higher prevalence of PCC (80%) than males (58.6%). PC was observed in 9.7% of specimens. In the authors' experience, when present, the PCC and the corresponding condylar emissary veins served as useful anatomic landmarks during the far-lateral approach. This study highlights the anatomic variability and surgical relevance of the PCC, PC, and their emissary veins. Though not consistently reliable landmarks, their identification and variation assessment may aid preoperative planning and intraoperative safety by reducing bleeding risk and preserving craniovertebral junction stability.

The preliminary results of spectralpolarization observations of a large sunspot on August 17, 2024, observed on the Echelle spectrograph of the horizontal solar telescope of the Astronomical Observatory of Taras Shevchenko National University of Kyiv are presented. Direct measurements of the magnetic field in this spot were performed by splitting the bisectors of the profiles of ten spectral lines, mainly the Fe I lines, as well as three lines of Fe II, Cr II, and Sc II ions. The magnetic field, measured by splitting the sigma components of the Fe I 5250.2 line, reached 3400 G, however, the field magnitude by other lines with smaller Landé factors was significantly smaller, apparently reflecting the longitudinal component BLOS of the magnetic field, rather than its intensity modulus. The shape of the bisectors of the I ± V profiles generally corresponds to a homogeneous field only for the Fe I lines, while for the ion lines these bisectors have a rather peculiar appearance, with a minimum splitting at approximately half the depth of the profiles and a maximum in the core of such lines or in their wings. If the magnetic field averaged over the entire profile is determined based on the average splitting of the bisectors at different depths of each spectral line, the following main effects are revealed: (a) the ion lines show 300–1200 G weaker magnetic fields than the neutral atom lines, (b) the measured BLOS value increases with the Landé factor for the neutral atom lines, but for ions, the corresponding dependence is obviously the opposite, (c) for the neutral atom lines the BLOS value decreases with increasing excitation potential EP of the lower term of the line. Effect (b) for the neutral atoms can be explained by the significant inclination of the field lines to the line of sight, while effects (a) and (c) indicate that the magnetic field strength in the spot decreased with depth. However, it remains unclear what role thermodynamic effects and the subtelescopic structure of the magnetic field might play here.

The review article presents the results of a content analysis of the educational programs for training future teachers at the bachelor’s level, focusing on the content of psychological and pedagogical disciplines using the examples of three higher education institutions: Poltava V.G. Korolenko National Pedagogical University, Yuriy Fedkovych Chernivtsi National University, and Vasyl Stefanyk Carpathian National University. It has been found that higher education institutions are purposefully updating psychological and pedagogical training in accordance with new educational standards, the needs of the New Ukrainian School (NUS), and the realities of wartime. Each university demonstrates experience in maintaining academic traditions, systematic approaches, practical orientation, and resilience to challenges, innovation, and digital integration. The content of psychological and pedagogical training of future bachelor-level teachers is characterized by the following essential features: adaptation to modern educational challenges; integration of classical pedagogical heritage, modern technologies, wartime requirements, and the values of reformed school education; competence-based structure of the curriculum; focus on partnership pedagogy, reflection, and emotional intelligence; institutionally supported digitalization of education; attention to teaching methods aligned with NUS educational areas; introduction of new modules and topics on safety, inclusion, and first aid, among others. Recommendations for updating the content of psychological and pedagogical training in light of modern challenges include: ensuring a Ukraine-centered orientation of educational content; integrating trauma-informed approaches and psychological support into training programs; developing digital competence and readiness for effective online teaching; strengthening the practical orientation of methodological disciplines under crisis conditions; maximizing the use of innovative forms and teaching methods; emphasizing the development of research competence among future teachers; structuring the content of psychological and pedagogical training in accordance with NUS educational areas and specialized upper secondary education; and actualizing the educational and scientific heritage of prominent Ukrainian educators.

Orthorexia nervosa, characterized by obsessive healthy eating habits, has been reported in nursing students, implying that extensive health-related knowledge is a risk factor. This study aimed to investigate the difference in level of orthorexia nervosa and its association with psychological distress between students of nursing, medical, and non-health-related departments. This cross-sectional study included Japanese national university students, aged 18–25 years, who responded to an online questionnaire survey conducted in April 2024. Orthorexia nervosa traits were assessed using the Teruel Orthorexia Scale, autistic traits were assessed using the Autism Spectrum Quotient, and psychological distress was assessed using the Kessler 6-item Scale. We performed multiple linear regression analyses. The 211 participants included 54 (25.6%) nursing students, 52 (24.6%) medical students, and 105 (49.8%) students from other departments. After controlling for gender and autistic traits, nursing students did not differ in traits of orthorexia nervosa from either medical students or other students. The between-group difference was also non-significant in level of psychological distress. Students with orthorexia nervosa were more likely to present greater psychological distress; however, the level of strength of association did not vary according to type of department. Extensive health-related knowledge may not always trigger or escalate obsessive healthy eating among university students. Further investigation is warranted to identify risk factors for orthorexia nervosa among nursing students.

BackgroundCaregiving for individuals with dementia often results in significant psychological and emotional burden, which varies widely among caregivers. Personality traits are critical factors that may influence how caregivers perceive and cope with caregiving challenges, potentially moderating the impact of dementia severity and behavioral symptoms on caregiver burden. This study aims to examine these moderating effects, providing insights to inform targeted interventions for caregivers.MethodWe analyzed 215 caregiver‐care recipient dyads from Chungnam National University Hospital. Dementia severity (CDR), behavioral symptoms (NPI), caregiver burden (ZBI), and caregiver personality (BFI‐5) were assessed. Moderation analyses included covariates (age, sex, cohabitation)ResultCare recipients had a mean age of 77.04 ± 7.06 years (42.33% female), while caregivers had a mean age of 65.23 ± 17.34 years (61.9% female). Among caregivers, 91 were spouses, 104 were children, and 20 were other relatives. Global CDR was significantly associated with ZBI_total (β = 14.678, p < .001). Extraversion (β = ‐6.837, p = .047) and neuroticism (β = 7.594, p = .023) showed significant moderating effects. Simple slope analysis revealed that the effect of global CDR on ZBI_total was stronger at low extraversion (‐1SD, β = 17.8, p < .001) compared to high extraversion (+1SD, β = 11.7, p < .001), and stronger at high neuroticism (+1SD, β = 17.36, p < .001) compared to low neuroticism (‐1SD, β = 8.87, p = .001). Other personality traits, including conscientiousness, openness, and agreeableness, did not show significant moderating effects. NPI severity × frequency was significantly associated with NPI distress (β = 0.982, p < .001); however, no personality traits moderated this relationship.ConclusionThese findings highlight the moderating effects of extraversion and neuroticism on the relationship between dementia severity and caregiver burden, with higher extraversion buffering and higher neuroticism amplifying the burden. Additionally, BPSD severity strongly predicted caregiver distress, independent of personality traits. These results underscore the need to incorporate personality assessments into caregiver support programs to address individual differences and improve outcomes in dementia care.

On January 9, 2025, the Government issued Resolution No. 03/NQ-CP on the Action Program for implementing Resolution No. 57-NQ/TW of the Politburo, which mentions the commercialization of research outcomes and the effective exploitation of intellectual property assets (IPAs) at higher education institutions. A survey conducted across 11 universities and 3 research institutes under Vietnam National University, Hanoi (VNU) reveals that while basic and applied research activities have achieved encouraging results in recent years, the commercialization of IPAs—derived from applied research—has not yet been commensurate with their potential. Based on the survey findings, this paper proposes the development of an “innovation ecosystem” to support the commercialization of IPAs in higher education institutions in general and at VNU in particular. The proposed model aims to promote scientific research, enhance the commercial exploitation of university intellectual assets, and contribute to the knowledge-based economy, thereby advancing the implementation of Resolution No. 57-NQ/TW dated December 22, 2024, of the Politburo on breakthroughs in science, technology, innovation, and national digital transformation. Keywords: Commercialization of Intellectual Property; Innovation Ecosystem; Innovation Startup Incubator.

BackgroundCognitive decline, particularly in indigenous populations, is a significant concern for public health. The Shipibo‐Konibo community in the Peruvian Amazon faces challenges such as limited access to healthcare and education, which may impact cognitive health. This study aims to develop a predictive model for cognitive function in older adults from this community to inform preventive measures and interventions for Alzheimer's disease and other cognitive disorders.MethodA cross‐sectional study was conducted with 79 older adults (aged 60+) from the Shipibo‐Konibo community. Data collection was part of the CUMIS (Multidisciplinary University Research and Service Camp), organized by the Society of San Fernando and the Faculty of Medicine at the National University of San Marcos in December 2023. Cognitive function was assessed using the Mini‐Mental State Examination (MMSE). Diabetes and hypertension were self‐reported or confirmed through medical records, physical activity was measured using the International Physical Activity Questionnaire (IPAQ), depressive symptoms were assessed using the Geriatric Depression Scale (GDS), and nutritional status was evaluated using the Mini Nutritional Assessment (MNA). A linear regression model was used to develop a predictive model for cognitive performance, evaluating sociodemographic factors, lifestyle factors, medical history, and nutrition.ResultThe predictive model revealed that age negatively impacted cognitive function (p = 0.047), with older participants showing lower MMSE scores and higher GDS stages. Education emerged as the strongest positive predictor (p < 0.001), indicating that higher education levels protect against cognitive decline. Additionally, physical activity significantly enhanced cognitive function (p = 0.0017), and nutritional status showed a positive relationship with cognitive health (p = 0.035). Chronic conditions such as diabetes, hypertension, and substance use (alcohol/tobacco) did not significantly impact cognitive performance. The model explained over 60% of the variance in cognitive function, providing a robust tool for predicting cognitive decline.ConclusionThe study emphasizes that age, education, physical activity, and nutritional status are critical predictors of cognitive function. These findings suggest that interventions promoting education, physical activity, and nutrition could mitigate cognitive decline in older adults, especially in underserved communities like the Shipibo‐Konibo. The model offers a valuable tool for personalized care and health interventions aimed at preventing Alzheimer's disease.

The rapidly growing processes of digitalization of world societies imply the need to prepare universities that can create highly skilled Information Systems (IS) professionals with both technical expertise and strong analytical skills as well as ethical decision-making abilities. This paper considers the academic, technological, and institutional processes that enable the Al-Farabi Kazakh National University (KazNU) to develop future IS experts that are engaged in digitalization of the country, building of intelligent systems, cybersecurity, and policy formulation presented by data. Basing the study on empirical findings, institutional analysis, and other academic materials, it is manifested as the research framework, interdisciplinary-oriented curriculum, innovation ecosystems, and international cooperation of Al-Farabi Kazakh National University.

Environmental health is an important factor for the well-being and sustainability of the educational environment. The purpose of this study was to identify the factors associated with the environmental health of secondary school students at the Faculty of Education Sciences of the National University of the Altiplano. A cross-sectional design with a descriptive-explanatory approach was used, which is suitable for describing the current reality and analyzing causal relationships in a limited period. The methodology included the application of Pearson's correlation and multiple linear regression analysis to evaluate the predictive power of environmental health perception based on variables such as environmental education, environmental awareness, environmental responsibility, and forest awareness. The results showed that the model explained 75.4% of the variability in environmental health, highlighting environmental education (β = 0.419) and, especially, environmental awareness (β = 0.529) as significant predictive factors (p &lt; 0.001). It is concluded that both formal environmental education and sensitivity and commitment to the ecosystem are key determinants for improving environmental health in future teachers, highlighting the importance of strengthening environmental awareness to promote sustainable practices.

BackgroundBurnout in healthcare workers results in higher staff turnover and poorer patient care. Knowledge of burnout and its associated factors among polyclinics’ (public primary care clinics) healthcare workers in Singapore is lacking. This study aims to evaluate the extent of burnout and identify associated factors in polyclinic staff.MethodsThis was a cross-sectional study conducted in Singapore’s National University Polyclinics. From 11 July to 4 September 2024, an anonymous self-administered online questionnaire was sent to eligible doctors, nurses, and allied health staff. The Maslach Burnout Inventory Human Services Survey (MBI-HSS) with domains of emotional exhaustion, depersonalisation, and personal accomplishment was used to measure extent of burnout and tested for associations with staffs’ demographics, working-related factors, patient-related experiences, lifestyle, resilience levels (measured by the Brief Resilience Scale), and intention to quit using multivariable linear regression.ResultsOf the 228 participants, 82 were doctors, 79 were nurses, and 67 were allied health. Mean total MBI-HSS scores were 25.98 (SD = 12.40, min-max = 1–53) for emotional exhaustion, 10.22 (SD = 7.24, min-max = 0–30) for depersonalisation, and 31.69 (SD = 8.33, min-max = 8–48) for personal accomplishment. Emotional exhaustion was associated with being a doctor (B = 4.55, SE = 1.60, p = 0.005) and nurse (B=-4.16, SE = 1.70, p = 0.015) compared to allied health workers. Emotional exhaustion was also associated with fewer average hours of exercise a week (B=-0.51, SE = 0.22, p = 0.024), and lower levels of resilience (B=-4.44, SE = 1.12, p < 0.001). Depersonalisation was associated with being a doctor (B = 2.56, SE = 0.97, p = 0.009) and perception of less recognition by patients (verbally or in writing) (B=-6.25, SE = 2.56, p = 0.016 for neutral; B=-8.99, SE = 2.54, p < 0.001 for agree; B=-8.69, SE = 2.82, p = 0.002 for strongly agree). Personal accomplishment was associated with being male (B = 3.38, SE = 1.37, p = 0.015), having full-time domestic help (B = 3.12, SE = 1.17, p = 0.008), being a member of a teamlet (B = 3.02, SE = 1.33, p = 0.024), perceiving greater recognition by patients (B = 8.60, SE = 3.21, p = 0.008 for agree; B = 12.46, SE = 3.55, p < 0.001 for strongly agree), and higher levels of resilience (B = 0.60, SE = 0.13, p < 0.001).ConclusionsThe study highlighted the extent of burnout in healthcare workers in Singapore’s public primary care and its associated factors. Strategies that could potentially manage burnout include improving patient-provider relationships, improving work environment, increasing resilience in healthcare workers, and optimising team-based care models.Supplementary InformationThe online version contains supplementary material available at 10.1186/s12875-025-03093-5.
