The first study assessed the current state of the literature on the implications to N removal in wetlands in the presence of pesticides and antibiotics. 181 primary studies were identified.

The purpose of utilizing an appreciative inquiry lens was to push past problem-focused ideas and highlight transition supports that have been successful.

Relationship Between Cognitive Distortions And Burnout Among Primary Care Physicians, Wilson Albarracin

PCOM Psychology Dissertations

Burnout is a depleted state characterized by three components: emotional exhaustion, depersonalization, and low personal accomplishment (Wong et al., 2020).

Burnout associated with the recent pandemic may have led to medical malpractice lawsuits and even jeopardized patient safety (Sung et al., 2020). Along with burnout, physicians are at a greater risk of developing psychiatric disorders and committing suicide than the general population (Ofei-Dodoo et al., 2021; …
