Psychological Capital and Perceived Stress in Nurses: The Mediating Role of Need for Recovery and Recovery Experiences.

AIM: To examine whether recovery experiences and need for recovery mediate the association between psychological capital and perceived stress in nurses. DESIGN: Cross-sectional online survey. METHODS: A total of 184 nurses currently practicing in France completed an anonymous online questionnaire administered in January 2023. Participants completed the French versions of the Psychological Capital Questionnaire, the Recovery Experience Scale, the Need for Recovery Scale, and the Perceived Stress Scale. Two mediation models were estimated using ordinary least squares regression with percentile bootstrap inference for the indirect effects. RESULTS: Psychological capital was positively associated with recovery experiences and negatively associated with need for recovery. Need for recovery was strongly and positively associated with perceived stress, while psychological capital showed no direct association with perceived stress. The indirect effect of psychological capital on perceived stress through need for recovery was statistically detectable, whereas a complementary indirect effect through recovery experiences was in the expected direction but did not meet the bootstrap criterion for statistical significance. CONCLUSION: In this cross-sectional sample, psychological capital was associated with lower perceived stress primarily through its association with reduced need for recovery rather than through a direct association with stress. Interventions intended to protect nurse well-being should therefore be conceived as combining individual resource-building with organizational architectures that enable effective recovery. IMPLICATION FOR NURSING PRACTICE: Psychological capital should be seen as one element in integrated interventions rather than a stand-alone solution to nursing stress. Brief recovery-focused interventions for nurses need to be combined with scheduling practices and organizational policies that protect rest and make recovery feasible, a configuration that appears more promising than psychological capital training alone. REPORTING METHOD: The study followed the STROBE Statement for the reporting of cross-sectional studies. NO PATIENT OR PUBLIC CONTRIBUTION: This study focused on nurses as study participants. No patient or public stakeholder was involved in the design, conduct, or interpretation of the research, since the research question concerns occupational psychological resources rather than clinical practice or care delivery.

Renal outcome after ciclosporin-induced nephrotoxicity.

BACKGROUND: Renal outcome after ciclosporin (CsA) is not clear in most studies involving patients with many renal comorbid conditions. We first report on renal function recovery after CsA in previously healthy kidney patients. METHODS: Uveitis patients, enroled in a unique single centre cohort follow-up study initiated in 1987, were prospectively evaluated for plasma creatinine and glomerular filtration rate (GFR) before, during (>2 years) and after (>6 months) CsA therapy. We hypothesized that CsA alters renal function progressively over time according to two additive exponential components (irreversible and reversible) and used a mixed linear model with exponential speed parameters maximizing the likelihood. RESULTS: Twenty-seven patients treated for 60+/-34 months (CsA 5.1+/-2.5 mg/kg/day) were followed up for 56+/-42 months after CsA withdrawal. Baseline creatinine was 0.92+/-0.15 mg/dl. The reversible effect of CsA was quantified as a 0.11+/-0.07 mg/dl increase in creatinine/100 mg CsA/day (P<0.001) and a 6.0+/-3.7 ml/min/1.73 m(2) decrease in GFR/100 mg CsA/day (P<0.0001). The irreversible effect was quantified as a 0.03+/-0.05 mg/dl increase in creatinine/100 g cumulative CsA received (P<0.007) and a decrease of 3.3+/-3.9 ml/min/1.73 m(2) GFR/100 g CsA. CONCLUSIONS: Although significant decrease in GFR is induced by low-dose CsA therapy in previously healthy kidney patients, renal function recovery is possible after CsA withdrawal and best predicted by CsA daily dosage. Irreversible loss in GFR is correlated to cumulated CsA exposure. The lowest CsA dosage and shortest exposure time effect as well as unlimited renal monitoring are required in order to provide the best long-term renal outcome.

Tubular transporters and clearance of adefovir.

Adefovir is transported by the organic anion transporter (OAT1) and the multidrug resistant protein (MRP2, 4 and 5). We studied adefovir clearance in rat after inhibition of transporters by probenecid and in mutant transport-deficient (TR-) rats, in which MRP2 is lacking. After treatment by probenecid or placebo, pharmacokinetics of adefovir 10mg/kg was studied via population nonlinear mixed effect modeling. The fraction of drug excreted in the urine was low. Renal clearance of adefovir was significantly lower (P < 0.05) in probenecid TR- rats (0.03+/-0.02l/h) than in normal control (0.09+/-0.05l/h), in normal probenecid (0.10+/-0.07l/h) and in TR- control rats (0.13+/-0.07l/h). In vivo in rats MRP2 mutation alone did not affect adefovir clearance suggesting that MRP2 does not play a critical role in the secretion of adefovir. Additional pharmacological inhibition of transporters decreased renal clearance, which may reflect inhibition of compensating transport mechanisms activated when MRP2 is lacking.

Changing electrolyte and acido-basic profile in HIV-infected patients in the HAART era.

BACKGROUND: HIV-infected patients may develop a variety of underreported metabolic abnormalities that may be classified into HIVAN, specific HIV abnormalities, coincidental renal disorders and anti-retroviral-treatment-induced side effects. METHODS: Our descriptive cross-sectional study evaluates the prevalence of electrolyte and acid base disorders in HIV patients in the HAART era in a tertiary care teaching hospital. All consecutive HIV-infected patients (n = 1,232) presenting at our Department of Infectious Disease over 3 months were included. MEASUREMENTS: All available biochemical data obtained at admission or on the day of the visit were analyzed. We identified risk factors for electrolyte and acid base disorders with univariate regression analysis and multivariate stepwise regression analysis. Variables tested for significance included age, sex, absolute CD4 and CD8 counts, hepatitis B and C antibodies, and use and type of anti-retroviral medication. RESULTS: Most frequent and clinically relevant abnormalities were hyperuricemia in 41.3%, hypophosphatemia in 17.2% and low bicarbonate level in 13.6% of HIV-tested patients. Plasma magnesium was out of the normal range in 38.9% and blood glucose in 25.3% of the tested patients. When CD4 count was below 200/mm3, 9.2% of tested patients experienced low serum calcium (vs. 0.5% if CD4 count >200/mm3, p < 0.002), 11.4% increased creatinine plasma level (vs. 2.3% if CD4 count >200/mm3, p < 0.0001) and 24.5% low serum bicarbonate (vs. 13.7% if CD4 count >200/mm3, p < 0.0001). Protease inhibitor treatment was a significant risk factor of hyperuricemia (p < 0.003). Non-nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitor therapy was significantly associated with less hyperuricemia (OR = 0.6, 95% CI 0.38-0.96) and with hypophosphatemia (OR = 2.0, 95% CI 1.1-3.4). CONCLUSIONS: The profile of biochemical abnormalities in HIV-infected patients has changed, hyperuricemia and hypophosphatemia being the most prevalent. Causes are poorly understood. Interpretation of drug-induced side effects in the HIV patient is only meaningful if performed versus a control group of patients.

[Tubular transporters OAT1 and MRP2 and clearance of adefovir].

Adefovir is transported by the organic anion transporter (OAT1) and the multidrug resistant protein (MRP2, 4 and 5). We studied adefovir clearance in rat after inhibition of transporters by probenecid and in TR- rats, in which MRP2 is lacking. After treatment by probenecid or placebo, pharmacokinetics of adefovir 10 mg/kg was studied via population modeling (NONMEM). The fraction of drug excreted in the urine was low. Renal clearance of adefovir was significantly lower (P < 0.05) in probenecid TR- rats (0.03 +/- 0.02 l/hour) than in normal control (0.09 +/- 0.05 l/hour), in normal probenecid (0.10 +/- 0.07 l/hour) and in TR- control rats (0.13 +/- 0.07 l/hour). In vivo in rats MRP2 mutation alone did not affect adefovir clearance suggesting that MRP2 does not play a critical role in the secretion of adefovir. Additional pharmacological inhibition of transporters decreased renal clearance, which may reflect inhibition of compensating transport mechanisms activated when MRP2 is lacking.

Herbs and the kidney.

The use of herbal therapy has increased dramatically in past years and may lead to renal injury or various toxic insults, especially in renal patients. In most countries, herbal products are not regulated as medicines. Herbal poisoning may be secondary to the presence of undisclosed drugs or heavy metals, interaction with the pharmacokinetic profile of concomitantly administered drugs, or association with a misidentified herbal species. Various renal syndromes were reported after the use of medicinal plants, including tubular necrosis, acute interstitial nephritis, Fanconi's syndrome, hypokalemia or hyperkalemia, hypertension, papillary necrosis, chronic interstitial nephritis, nephrolithiasis, urinary retention, and cancer of the urinary tract. It seems critical that caregivers be aware of the potential risk of such often underreported therapy and carefully question their patients about their use of this popular branch of alternative medicine.

The renal tolerance of low-dose adefovir dipivoxil by lamivudine-resistant individuals co-infected with hepatitis B and HIV.

BACKGROUND: Adefovir (ADV), an orally administered nucleotide analogue active against hepadnaviruses, retroviruses and herpes viruses was shown to be effective in HIV-infected patients, but the prevalence of nephrotoxicity with doses of 60-120 mg/day was considered unacceptable. Recently, lower doses of ADV were shown to be effective for the treatment of HIV-1 patients with chronic lamivudine (LAM)-resistant hepatitis B. METHODS: In a cohort of 35 patients infected with both HIV-1 and LAM-resistant hepatitis B virus, we investigated the renal tolerance of a once-daily dose of ADV 10 mg over 52 weeks. Their mean baseline creatinine clearance was within the normal range (105 +/- 3 ml/min/1.73 m(2)). No patient had significant changes in renal function or electrolyte balance secondary to ADV treatment. RESULTS: Transient increases in serum creatinine, which resolved by the end of the study were noted in two patients and three developed proteinuria, which was felt to be unrelated to ADV treatment. The cohort's mean serum phosphate level, 2.45 +/- 0.09 mg/dl at baseline, did not change significantly under treatment (2.66 +/- 0.12 mg/dl at week 52, P = NS). CONCLUSIONS: Our study shows that ADV dosed at 10 mg/day for the treatment of LAM-resistant chronic hepatitis B in patients co-infected with HIV is not associated with renal tubular dysfunction or a significant change in renal function.

Bone mineral density and fracture prevalence in long-term kidney graft recipients.

BACKGROUND: Renal transplantation triggers an early bone loss that increases the subsequent risk of osteoporosis and fractures. Little is known about the long-term outcome of bone status and fracture prevalence several years after transplantation. Therefore, we conducted a cross-sectional evaluation of bone status to find out the frequency and predictors of osteoporotic fractures in late kidney graft patients. METHODS: Changes in spinal, hip, and total body bone mineral density were assessed using a DEXA Hologic QRD 1000 scanner, and fractures were quantified in all kidney graft patients presenting for routine evaluation with a minimal follow-up of 5 years after transplantation (with a mean follow-up 8.5+/-3.1 years). We measured biochemical markers of bone metabolism and collected clinical and dietary intake data. RESULTS: Fifty-nine renal graft recipients were enrolled in the study within 9 months. Osteoporosis, according to the World Health Organization definition, was observed in 31 patients (53% of the total population) and fractures occurred in 26 patients (44% of the total population and 51.6% of patients with osteoporosis). Femoral neck bone mineral density was positively correlated with patient's weight and cyclosporin current dosage. Steroid cumulative dosage correlated only to lumbar spine Z score. Dietary calcium, serum 25 hydroxyvitamin D, parathyroid hormone, and urinary N-telopeptides excretion were normal. CONCLUSIONS: These data emphasize the substantial prevalence of osteoporosis and fractures among very long-term kidney graft recipients. Therapeutic intervention in these patients is urgently needed.

Long-term renal effects of low-dose cyclosporine in uveitis-treated patients: follow-up study.

Cyclosporine (CsA), a widely used immunosuppressive drug, is an effective treatment of sight-threatening posterior idiopathic uveitis. CsA's main side effect is nephrotoxicity. The aim of this single-center prospective cohort study (conducted in a tertiary care teaching hospital in Paris, France) was to assess the long-term renal tolerance of a low-dose CsA treatment in patients with previously healthy kidneys on clinical, biologic, and pathologic criteria. Forty-one patients treated with 4.3 +/- 1.6 mg/kg body wt per day CsA for 44.9 +/- 3.6 mo were included. Mean follow-up was 55.4 +/- 0.2 mo. BP, CsA trough level, and renal function were prospectively monitored together with blood urea, creatinine clearance, GFR, and effective renal plasma flow. Eleven patients underwent serial kidney biopsies before and after 2 yr of a 4 +/- 0.9 mg/kg daily CsA treatment. Sustained low-dose CsA treatment induced a significant increase in plasma creatinine (P < 0.0001), a significant decrease in creatinine clearance (P < 0.0001), and isotopic GFR (P < 0.0001) over time. The highest dose induced more severe alterations in any of the renal parameters than the lowest dose. Prevalence of hypertension was particularly high. Histopathologic data showed significant interstitial fibrosis (P < 0.003) and tubular atrophy (P < 0.003) after 2 yr. Low-dose long-term CsA treatment induces significant renal impairment and a high incidence of hypertension. Our study suggests that lowering daily dosage may prevent CsA-induced nephrotoxicity if a daily dose of < or =3 mg/kg is used. Whether once established it is reversible is still prospective, although the occurrence of interstitial fibrosis in the kidney would argue against reversibility.
