(1) Background: Both employees and organizations benefit from a work environment characterized by work engagement and job satisfaction. This study examines the influence of work-group social capital on individuals’ work engagement, job satisfaction, and job crafting. In addition, the mediating effect of job crafting between social capital on the one side and job satisfaction and work engagement on the other side was analyzed. (2) Methods: This study used data from 250 health-care employees in Sweden who had completed a questionnaire at two time points (six to eight months apart). Analyses of separate cross-lagged panel designs were conducted using structural regression modeling with manifest variables. (3) Results: Social capital was predictive of both job satisfaction and work engagement over time. The results also indicated that higher degrees of social capital was predictive of more cognitive and relational, but not task-related job crafting over time. There was no clear evidence for a mediating effect of job crafting for social capital to work engagement or job satisfaction. (4) Conclusion: It would be beneficial for the health-care sector to consider setting up the organizations to promote social capital within work groups. Individual workers would gain in well-being and the organization is likely to gain in efficiency and lower turnover rates.

Patients who call for an ambulance but only have primary care needs do not always get appropriate care. The starting point in this study is that such patients should be assigned to as basic of care as possible, while maintaining high levels of patient trust and patient safety. To evaluate patient trust and patient safety among low-priority ambulance patients referred to care at either the Community Health Centre (CHC) or the Emergency Department (ED). This randomized controlled trial pilot study compared the level of patient trust and patient safety among low-priority ambulance patients who were randomized into two groups: CHC (n = 105) or ED (n = 83). There was a high level of trust in the care received, regardless of whether the patient received care at CHC or ED. Overall 31% fulfilled one or more of the given criteria for potentially jeopardizing patient safety. Patient selection for the trial indicated a potential limit in patient safety. There was a high level of trust in the care received regardless of whether the patient received care. The accuracy of patient selection for the new care model needs to be further improved with the intention to enhance patient safety even further.

Mothers who have negative breastfeeding experiences due to initial breastfeeding difficulties are in demanding existential situations. Therefore, it is important for healthcare professionals to identify and address such breastfeeding problems. The aim of this study was to develop an instrument designed to assess existential aspects of mothers' initial breastfeeding difficulties and evaluate its psychometric properties. This study reports on the development of a new instrument and was carried out in three steps: (1) a questionnaire about various existential aspects of initial breastfeeding difficulties, based on 66 items derived from two phenomenological studies, was developed; (2) information was collected using the questionnaire; (3) and the resulting data were statistically analysed. Spearman's correlation coefficient was used to assess comparative validity; exploratory factor analysis with principal axis factoring and varimax rotation were used to assess construct validity; and Cronbach's alfa was used to assess internal consistency and reliability. Three hundred and nine Swedish-speaking mothers aged 20-46 participated in the study. Correlation and factor analysis of the 66 items revealed that 16 of the items were of psychometric value and valid. Factor analysis generated three factors that accounted for 62.9% of the total variance: Mother-Child Interdependency, Exposure and Vulnerability and Security and Trust. The instrument shows adequate sensitivity to identify existential aspects of mothers' initial breastfeeding difficulties. The instrument satisfactorily assesses existential aspects of initial breastfeeding difficulties and can be used as a sensitive tool by healthcare professionals to screen for and identify mothers who have negative breastfeeding experiences.

The authors, with Swedish elementary school students (N = 201), 9–12 years old, examined the potential significance to self-perceived academic competence of students' cross-ethnic friendship ties and prosocial behavior to better understand education's minority achievement gap. A crossed-lagged panel model was tested to investigate potential relationships between these variables over time, while controlling for temporal associations. The results revealed that higher levels of prosocial behavior were related to more positive academic performance six months later. However, higher levels of cross-ethnic friendship did not. The findings further establish the predictive influence of prosocial behavior on academic competence, indicating that this over-time relation is applicable also in the North European context, with its increasingly diverse ethnicity.

Patients in intensive care suffer from severe illnesses or injuries and from symptoms related to care and treatments. Environmental factors, such as lighting at night, can disturb patients’ circadian rhythms. The aim was to investigate whether patients displayed circadian rhythms and whether a cycled lighting intervention would impact it. In this pilot study (N = 60), a cycled lighting intervention in a two-bed patient room was conducted. An ordinary hospital room functioned as the control. Patient activity, heart rate, mean arterial pressure and body temperature were recorded. All data were collected during the patients’ final 24 h in the intensive care unit. There was a significant difference between day and night patient activity within but not between conditions. Heart rates differed between day and night significantly for patients in the ordinary room but not in the intervention room or between conditions. Body temperature was lowest at night for all patients with no significant difference between conditions. Patients in both conditions had a natural circadian rhythm; and the cycled lighting intervention showed no significant impact. As the sample size was small, a larger repeated measures study should be conducted to determine if other types of lighting or environmental factors can impact patients’ well-being.

It is known that intimate partner violence (IPV) negatively affects both parental capacity and children’s well-being, but few studies have focused on the experiences of those taking part in family interventions focused on IPV. In this study, 26 parents (16 mothers and 10 fathers) with a history of IPV participated in focus groups concerning their attachment-based group intervention experience in the program Parenting and Violence. The transcripts, subjected to thematic analysis, showed that participants experienced the intervention as supportive and confirming of their role as parents. Parents described feeling more in control, more self-confident, more skilled in communicating, and more able to provide security for their children. However, they also expressed a need for continuing support to maintain their improved parenting strategies.

Intimate partner violence (IPV) can negatively affect children's wellbeing and development, but few studies have looked specifically at parenting as experienced by IPV victims and abusers. Such knowledge could contribute to IPV interventions focused on parenting. The aim of this study was to gain understanding of parenting difficulties and needs of victims and perpetrators of IPV. Focus groups conducted with 16 mothers and 10 fathers showed after analysis that these parents had difficulty controlling aggression toward their children and wished to be better able to provide security for them. Insecurity about their children's reactions to the IPV also emerged. Parents seemed to seek a “roadmap” to help them interpret whether their children's behaviors were “normal.” They also wanted to share their concerns in a group of parents in the same situation, but feared being shown to be “worse” than the others or having to confront sensitive issues between group sessions.
