Nowadays, there are plenty of programs and resources to prevent caregiver burden of patients with Alzheimer’s disease. In spite of that, many caregivers suffer high levels of burden and stress, which leads to an earlier institutionalization of patients. This study aimed to explore the predictors of burden in relative caregivers of patients attending day-care centers and the moderating role of caregiver kinship in these associations. A sample of a hundred and two patient–caregiver dyads was recruited. Burden was measured with a Zarit Burden Interview. Measures of patients’ cognition, insight, depression, behavioral disturbances, functional ability and overall physical health were considered as predictors. We found that apathy, irritability and delusions and, patients’ mobility are the main determinants of caregivers’ burden. The strength of relationship between delusions and irritability was higher in spouse caregivers. Interventions to reduce burden should be adapted to the specific needs of a particular type caregiver.

The study focused on the emergence of workplace spirituality as an outcome of calling, among medical professionals in Pakistan. Some of the main determinants of calling identified in this research were passion, occupational self-efficacy and work meaningfulness. The data was collected from a sample of 200 participants by using questionnaires. Results showed that calling was positively related with workplace spirituality and passion. On the other hand, calling was not found to be associated with occupational self-efficacy and work meaningfulness. Calling was found to be mediating the relationship of passion, occupational self-efficacy and work meaningfulness with workplace spirituality. However, career commitment was not found to be moderating the relationship of calling with workplace spirituality.

In Reply.— We appreciate Dr Fenster's letter, especially since it underscores issues raised by the possibility of having human immunodeficiency virus(HIV)-infected children in day care centers. There are three issues raised by the letter: (1) the question of parent rights; (2) the role of physicians and public health institutions to assess health risks posed by individuals for the population as a whole; and (3) the content of the educational message that should be provided
