An Orchestrated Negotiated Exchange: Trading Home-Based Telework for Intensified Work
In this paper, we explore a popular flexible work arrangement (FWA), home-based telework, in the Indian IT industry. We show how IT managers used the dominant meanings of telework to portray telework as an employee benefit that outweighed the attendant cost—intensified work. While using their discretion to grant telework, the managers drew on this portrayal to orchestrate a negotiated exchange with their subordinates. Consequently, the employees consented to accomplish the intensified work at home in exchange of telework despite their opposition to the intensified work in the office. Thus, whereas the extant studies consider work intensification as an unanticipated outcome of using FWAs, we show how firms may use FWAs strategically to get office-based intensified work accomplished at home. While the dominant argument is that employees reciprocate the opportunity to telework with intensified work, we show a discursively orchestrated negotiation that favors management. A corrective policy measure is to frame telework as an employee right.
Current advances in digital cognitive assessment for preclinical Alzheimer's disease
There is a pressing need to capture and track subtle cognitive change at the preclinical stage of Alzheimer's disease (AD) rapidly, cost‐effectively, and with high sensitivity. Concurrently, the landscape of digital cognitive assessment is rapidly evolving as technology advances, older adult tech‐adoption increases, and external events (i.e., COVID‐19) necessitate remote digital assessment. Here, we provide a snapshot review of the current state of digital cognitive assessment for preclinical AD including different device platforms/assessment approaches, levels of validation, and implementation challenges. We focus on articles, grants, and recent conference proceedings specifically querying the relationship between digital cognitive assessments and established biomarkers for preclinical AD (e.g., amyloid beta and tau) in clinically normal (CN) individuals. Several digital assessments were identified across platforms (e.g., digital pens, smartphones). Digital assessments varied by intended setting (e.g., remote vs. in‐clinic), level of supervision (e.g., self vs. supervised), and device origin (personal vs. study‐provided). At least 11 publications characterize digital cognitive assessment against AD biomarkers among CN. First available data demonstrate promising validity of this approach against both conventional assessment methods (moderate to large effect sizes) and relevant biomarkers (predominantly weak to moderate effect sizes). We discuss levels of validation and issues relating to usability, data quality, data protection, and attrition. While still in its infancy, digital cognitive assessment, especially when administered remotely, will undoubtedly play a major future role in screening for and tracking preclinical AD.

PO:31:163 | Safety and tolerability of home-based prostacyclin analogue therapy in vascular manifestations of the scleroderma spectrum: results of a monocentric study
Background. To evaluate the safety and perceived efficacy of home-based prostacyclin analogue infusions compared with hospital administration in patients with vascular manifestations of the Scleroderma Spectrum.   Methods: In 2019, a pilot program for home-based Iloprost infusions was launched at the Local Health Authority (ASL) of Pescara. We performed a retrospective 6-year analysis including patients receiving home therapy for at least 6 months. Patients completed a structured questionnaire assessing: • frequency of vascular manifestations, • comparison between home (EL) and hospital (DH) administration in terms of side effects, • acceptability and overall impact of home treatment. Blood pressure values were collected before, during, and after each home infusion.   Results. Thirty-four patients were included. Most reported subjective improvement of Raynaud’s phenomenon. A moderate positive correlation (ρ ≈ 0.47) was observed between the duration of home treatment and perceived benefit. Among the 5 patients with active digital ulcers, 4 reported improvement. Only two patients had pulmonary arterial hypertension; therefore, no conclusions were drawn for this subgroup. Eight side effects were evaluated on a 0–3 scale. Nausea, flushing, and headache were significantly reduced during home treatment (p < 0.05), while hypotension and diarrhea showed no significant differences. Elastomer pump acceptability was high: 100% of patients judged it easy to handle, 97% felt safe using it, and 88% reported improved quality of life. Regarding hemodynamic effects, systolic blood pressure showed a significant reduction during infusion (−4.6 mmHg; p = 0.0015) followed by recovery afterwards (+3.1 mmHg; p = 0.011). Diastolic pressure changes were milder, with a slight decline during infusion (−1.5 mmHg; p = 0.083) and a significant increase at the end (+2.8 mmHg; p = 0.026). Mean arterial pressure varied transiently and was well tolerated. Only one patient showed marked variability, suggesting the need for individualized monitoring in unstable cases.   Conclusions. Home-based prostacyclin analogue infusions appear safe, well tolerated, and associated with high patient acceptance in the Scleroderma Spectrum. These findings support the implementation of home Iloprost therapy as an integral component of vascular management in this population.

Non-standard work in unconventional workspaces
This article looks into the new production dynamics and workspaces related to urban change by examining a rising group of workers: self-employed women who have started their own businesses or freelance activities from home or coworking spaces. This empirical study applies an intersectional approach to examine the job satisfaction and work–life balance of home-based workers according to employment status, gender and generation by means of a mixed-method approach, combining the statistical analysis of a dataset of 43,850 workers from the European Working Conditions Survey with in-depth interviews. The findings reveal that work intensity, working time quality and prospects depend more on an individual being self-employed than on being home-based; however, earnings and time devoted to care work are strongly shaped by working from home. Moreover, the profiles of home-based self-employed workers were completely different by gender and age. Although millennials (i.e. those born between 1980 and 1995) differ significantly from previous generations, gender inequality also prevails among the young. Combining working at home with coworking could be a solution to offset the lack of interactions and social capital of home-based entrepreneurs and to increase their earnings. 本文研究一个不断增长的工人群体:在家里或共享工作空间自己创业或开展自由职业的自雇妇女,从而探讨与城市变化相关的新的生产动态和工作空间。本实证研究采用混合方法,将对欧洲工作条件调查 (European Working Conditions Survey) 中43,850名工人数据集的统计分析与深入访谈相结合,根据就业状况、性别和世代,采用交叉方法来研究在家工作的工人的工作满意度和工作-生活平衡。调查结果显示,工作强度、工作时间质量和前景更多取决于自雇人士个人,而不是在家工作这种模式;然而,在家工作极大地影响了收入和照料家人的时间。此外,在家工作的自雇人士的情况因性别和年龄而完全不同。虽然千禧一代(即1980年至1995年出生的人)与前几代人有很大不同,但性别不平等在年轻人中也很普遍。将在家工作和共享工作空间结合起来可能是一个好的解决方案,可以弥补在家创业的企业家缺乏互动和社会资本的问题,并增加他们的收入。

Advantages and Challenges of Using Telehealth for Home-Based Palliative Care: Systematic Mixed Studies Review
Owing to the increasing number of people with palliative care needs and the current shortage of health care professionals (HCPs), providing quality palliative care has become challenging. Telehealth could enable patients to spend as much time as possible at home. However, no previous systematic mixed studies reviews have synthesized evidence on patients' experiences of the advantages and challenges of telehealth in home-based palliative care. In this systematic mixed studies review, we aimed to critically appraise and synthesize the findings from studies that investigated patients' use of telehealth in home-based palliative care, focusing on the advantages and challenges experienced by patients. This is a systematic mixed studies review with a convergent design. The review is reported according to the PRISMA (Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses) statement. A systematic search was performed in the following databases: Allied and Complementary Medicine Database, CINAHL, Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials, Embase, Latin American and Caribbean Health Sciences Literature, MEDLINE, PsycInfo, and Web of Science. The inclusion criteria were as follows: studies using quantitative, qualitative, or mixed methods; studies that investigated the experience of using telehealth with follow-up from HCPs of home-based patients aged ≥18; studies published between January 2010 and June 2022; and studies published in Norwegian, Danish, Swedish, English, Portuguese, or Spanish in peer-reviewed journals. Five pairs of authors independently assessed eligibility of the studies, appraised methodological quality, and extracted data. The data were synthesized using thematic synthesis. This systematic mixed studies review included 41 reports from 40 studies. The following 4 analytical themes were synthesized: potential for a support system and self-governance at home; visibility supports interpersonal relationships and a joint understanding of care needs; optimized information flow facilitates tailoring of remote caring practices; and technology, relationships, and complexity as perpetual obstacles in telehealth. The advantages of telehealth were that patients experience a potential support system that could enable them to remain at home, and the visual features of telehealth enable them to build interpersonal relationships with HCPs over time. Self-reporting provides HCPs with information about symptoms and circumstances that facilitates tailoring care to specific patients. Challenges with the use of telehealth were related to barriers to technology use and inflexible reporting of complex and fluctuating symptoms and circumstances using electronic questionnaires. Few studies have included the self-reporting of existential or spiritual concerns, emotions, and well-being. Some patients perceived telehealth as intrusive and a threat to their privacy at home. To optimize the advantages and minimize the challenges with the use of telehealth in home-based palliative care, future research should include users in the design and development process.
