ABSTRACT
Compassion fatigue and anxiety derived from continued exposure to trauma and death greatly impact nurses' quality of care and quality of life, increasing their desire to leave work. The aim of the study is to assess compassion fatigue and anxiety prevalence and their association with secondary variables. A multicenter, cross-sectional study in nurses from four high-risk units, Emergency, Intensive Care, Oncology, and Pediatrics, was carried out in 14 hospitals in Catalonia (Spain) between 2015 and 2016. The primary endpoints were compassion satisfaction and compassion fatigue (burnout and secondary traumatic stress), which were assessed by Professional Quality of Life (ProQOL), and anxiety, assessed with the State-Trait Anxiety Inventory (STAI). Multivariable logistic regression analyzed the association of sociodemographic, training, working, and psychological factors. Of a total of 1302 nurses, 18.6% presented low compassion satisfaction; 19.7%, high burnout; and 36.4%, high secondary traumatic stress. Trait anxiety scored high in 7.2%. Although compassion satisfaction was present, it did not protect sufficiently against the high level of compassion fatigue or anxiety present in nurses in all centers. The working conditions in the units and variables showed a strong association with nurses' desire to leave. This corroborates the global challenge of healthcare professionals' shortage. Participants expressed the need for better training in emotional management.

Objectives: The growing interest in minimally invasive surgery, together with the possibility of fitting prostheseswith immediate function, have led to the development of software capable of planning and manufacturing a surgicalguide and prosthesis that can be placed upon conclusion of the implant surgery step.The present study evaluates the surgical and prosthetic complications of implant treatment with the guided surgerytechnique, together with patient comfort during and after treatment.Patients and methods: A retrospective observational study was made of 19 patients with partially or totally edentulousupper and/or lower maxillae, involving the placement of a total of 122 implants. All cases were planned andoperated upon with the guided surgery technique.Results: A total of 122 implants were placed in 14 males and 5 females. The intraoperative surgical complicationscomprised a lack of primary stability, while the postoperative complications consisted of infections and a lack ofimplant osteointegration. Ten implants failed. The prosthetic complications in turn comprised loosening of theprovisional prosthesis screws, prosthesis tooth fracture, and a lack of passive fit of the immediate prosthesis. Thedegree of patient satisfaction was evaluated using a verbal scale.Conclusions: Implant restoration with the guided surgery technique and immediate functional loading is a predictableprocedure, provided patient selection and the surgical technique are adequate, affording lesser postoperativemorbidity and increased patient satisfaction thanks to the immediate restoration of esthetics and function (AU)

OBJECTIVES: The growing interest in minimally invasive surgery, together with the possibility of fitting prostheses with immediate function, have led to the development of software capable of planning and manufacturing a surgical guide and prosthesis that can be placed upon conclusion of the implant surgery step. The present study evaluates the surgical and prosthetic complications of implant treatment with the guided surgery technique, together with patient comfort during and after treatment. PATIENTS AND METHODS: A retrospective observational study was made of 19 patients with partially or totally edentulous upper and/or lower maxillae, involving the placement of a total of 122 implants.
