Effects of cognitive adaptation on the expectation-burnout relationship among nurses.

Burnout has traditionally been thought to result from unrealistically high expectations although research has provided only equivocal support. We explored the impact of cognitive adaptation disposition, including mastery, optimism, and self-esteem, on the expectations-burnout relationship. Nurses (N = 341) who were recruited at professional conferences completed questionnaires that assessed cognitive adaptation, burnout, and initial and current expectations of control. As expected, cognitive adaptation predicted fewer unmet expectations of control, which in turn predicted lower burnout. In addition, optimism and self-esteem predicted lower burnout regardless of perceived initial expectations, whereas mastery lessened the negative consequences of initially high expectations on burnout.

Recurrent aphthous stomatitis.

The cause of recurrent aphthous stomatitis (RAS) remains unknown despite considerable research. This article reviews the evidence for current theories regarding this disorder, including possible suspected relationships with microbial and immunologic factors, and presents medical diseases that mimic RAS lesions in certain patients. Topical management of the common form of minor RAS is described along with systemic therapy currently available to patients with severe forms of this disease.

Property crime victims' decision to notify the police: social, cognitive, and affective determinants.

Previous research suggests that 3 general processes underlie the decision of property crime victims to notify the police: One that is cognitively driven by reward/cost considerations, one that is affectively driven, and another that is socially driven. This study is the first to employ a community sample of crime victims to compare the 3 processes within a single study. Computer-assisted interviews were conducted with 422 property crime victims (n = 129 burglary, n = 293 theft) located via a random digit dialing procedure. Logistic regression analyses showed that each process independently accounted for a significant amount of the variance in victim reporting, and that there were no interactions among the three processes in predicting reporting. Of the 3 processes, social influence was the best predictor of reporting. Analysis of the affect-driven process showed that reporting was primarily a function of the level of fear rather than anger or the level of generalized arousal upon discovering the crime.

Update on herpesvirus infections.

Herpesviruses are responsible for many illnesses that affect the oral and maxillofacial region. The most common of these are primary or recurrent HSV infection, but knowledge of the manifestations of the eight herpesviruses that cause infections in humans will provide clinicians with a better understanding and basis for diagnosing and managing patients with these diseases. Immunocompromised patients are at greater risk for serious illness: therefore, clinicians treating transplant patients, patients receiving cancer chemotherapy, or HIV-infected individuals should be aware of the various clinical manifestations of infection with herpesviruses.

Seizure disorders: update of medical and dental considerations.

Seizure disorders and epilepsy represent neurologic conditions that commonly are seen among patients requiring dental treatment. When dentists possess a working knowledge of seizures, in addition to an understanding of updated therapies for seizure management and oral complications associated with pharmacological therapy, they are able to treat patients with these disorders more effectively. Neurologic consultations and selecting an appropriate venue for treatment may need to be addressed prior to treatment, depending on the level of seizure control. Laboratory tests designed to evaluate medication levels, leukocyte counts, and clotting ability also may be required. Frequent recall visits may be necessary for seizure disorder patients who display adverse oral complications from medication, such as gingival hypertrophy, xerostomia, and oral yeast infections.
