Abstract

Occupational stress is a critical concern among healthcare personnel, as it directly affects both their psychological well-being and the overall quality of patient care. Excessive stress may lead to burnout, decreased job performance, and adverse emotional outcomes. Understanding the prevalence and determinants of occupational stress is therefore essential for developing effective intervention strategies. This study aimed to assess the level of occupational stress among healthcare personnel at Maiwand Teaching Hospital in 1404 H.S. (2025 Gregorian calendar) and examine variations across demographic and professional characteristics, including gender, age, marital status, department, education level, and years of experience. A descriptive cross-sectional design was adopted, and a total of 174 healthcare personnel were selected through simple random sampling, with 168 completing the standardized HSE Job Stress Questionnaire. Data were analyzed using SPSS version 26, and findings were presented through descriptive statistics and graphical illustrations. The results revealed that 78% of participants experienced moderate stress, 20.8% reported low stress, and only 1.2% experienced high stress. Higher stress levels were more common among males, younger staff, nurses, and personnel in high-intensity departments, particularly the ICU. While moderate stress was also observed among staff in the Dermatology Department, the number of respondents reporting high stress in this department was minimal (0.6%), suggesting that workload and patient volume may contribute to moderate but not severe stress levels. Marital status, educational attainment, and professional experience also influenced stress distribution patterns. In conclusion, occupational stress remains a prevalent issue among healthcare personnel, with the majority experiencing moderate stress. Targeted interventions—such as stress management training, improved workload distribution, and enhanced professional support systems—are recommended to foster a healthier work environment and improve both staff well-being and healthcare delivery quality.

Abstract

This study investigates the hydroclimatic drivers of soil moisture decline in South-South Nigeria from 2000 to 2020, emphasizing implications for sustainable agriculture in rain-fed systems. Utilizing satellite-derived datasets including CHIRPS for precipitation, ERA5 for temperature, and SMAP/AMSR-E for soil moisture, integrated with GIS and statistical analyses (Mann-Kendall trends, Sen's slope, cross-wavelet coherence, and correlation), we reveal a consistent warming trend with maximum temperatures peaking at 28.38°C in 2020, erratic precipitation patterns with highs of 7.01 mm/day in 2015, and a ~6% soil moisture reduction (from 0.325 to 0.305 m³/m³). Correlations indicate a weak positive link between soil moisture and precipitation (r=0.124) and a strong inverse relationship with temperature (r=-0.614), highlighting a temperature-driven evapotranspiration as a primary deficit mechanism. Data limitations, such as satellite biases in vegetated tropics (RMSE 0.04–0.06 m³/m³ for SMAP), were addressed through literature-based validation and cross-referencing with regional benchmarks. These trends pose risks to staples like cassava and rice, projecting 10–25% yield losses. Actionable recommendations include adopting drought-resistant cultivars, conservation agriculture for enhanced retention (15–30%), community water harvesting, and satellite-based early-warning systems. This research informs climate-smart policies to bolster food security and ecosystem resilience amid escalating variability in tropical Africa.

Abstract

Rainfall and groundwater variability are critical for sustainable water-resource management in arid and semi-arid regions like Afghanistan. This study investigates the relationship between precipitsation and groundwater levels in the North River Basin, using long-term rainfall data (1979–2022) from 13 meteorological stations and groundwater observations from 216 wells across five sub-river basins during 2022–2023. Descriptive statistics and the Precipitation Concentration Index (PCI) were applied to assess temporal rainfall patterns, seasonal variability, and rainfall concentration. Groundwater trends were analyzed by comparing monthly and annual fluctuations in water-table levels. Results indicate a decline in precipitation from 1979–1999, followed by gradual recovery after 2000, with rising rainfall concentration in recent decades, particularly in the dry season. Groundwater data reveal significant fluctuations across the sub-river basins, with some areas experiencing drawdown, likely due to over-extraction or insufficient recharge. Correlation analysis highlights the influence of rainfall variability on groundwater levels, demonstrating the importance of understanding seasonal recharge dynamics. These findings provide insights into the coupling between rainfall and groundwater, offering valuable information for water-resource planning, drought mitigation, and sustainable management of aquifers in the North River Basin.
