Purpose: The primary objective of this systematic analysis is to investigate the impact of parenthood on depressive symptomatology, with a focus on understanding how this relationship varies across different parental scenarios, considering factors such as the number of children and various elements within the physiological, psychological, social, socio-economic, and professional domains. Methods: The study encompassed a review of 12 relevant articles published between 2000 and 2023. The research involved adult samples, and the inclusion criteria were determined using the PICO framework. Additionally, the PRISMA guidelines were followed to ensure methodological rigor. Comparative analysis was conducted across five key domains: physiological, psychological, social, socio-economic, and professional, to discern patterns and variations in the impact of parenthood on depressive symptomatology. Results: The analysis revealed that parents with a single child (PA) demonstrated lower levels of depression compared to childless adults (CLA). However, this difference was not observed when parents had 2 or more children. The comparative analysis across physiological, psychological, social, socio-economic, and professional domains indicated multifaceted influences on parental and childless adult depression. Factors such as lack of sleep, fatigue, self-assessment of parental competence, quality of romantic relationships, social responsibilities, resources, financial concerns, and work-home balance were identified as key contributors to parental depression. Childless adults, on the other hand, were influenced by factors including medical conditions, fertility issues, personal expectations, freedom of choice, romantic relationships, social pressures, expectations, socio-economic status (SES), living conditions, and professional growth prospects. Conclusions: In conclusion, the study provides a comprehensive understanding of the nuanced relationship between parenthood and depressive symptomatology. The findings underscore the importance of considering the number of children as a critical factor. The analysis of physiological, psychological, social, socio-economic, and professional domains contributes to a holistic comprehension of the complex interplay between parenthood and mental well-being. These insights can inform interventions and support systems tailored to address the unique challenges faced by parents and childless adults.

Purpose: The aim of the present study is to investigate how age discrimination affects successful aging, but also whether internalizing negative attitudes towards old age explains the relationship between the two variables.
Materials and Methods: The study involved 391 people aged between 35 and 90, 315 women and 76 men. The tools used were The Fraboni Scale of Ageism, Attitudes to Aging Questionnaire, and Successful Aging Inventory.
Outcomes: According to the results, there was no statistically significant correlation between perceptions of age discrimination and successful aging. Also, there was a statistically significant negative correlation between negative attitudes towards aging and successful aging. Finally, there was a statistically significant positive correlation between the perception of age discrimination and negative attitudes towards aging.
Conclusions: The approach in the present study allows for a deeper understanding of subjective perceptions of one’s own aging. The study investigated two variables that may have relevance in understanding subjective successful aging - perceived age discrimination and negative attitudes toward aging. The results allow us to better understand the antecedents of successful aging and their importance.

Objectives: The aim of the study was to estimate the economic value of job crafting interventions for the Romanian medical field. Materials and Methods: The utility analysis was used, representing the evaluation of the economic impact of human resource management solutions based on mathematical formulas. Meta-analytical data show that job crafting interventions have a positive impact on the performance of healthcare workers. We estimated the financial value of these psychological interventions in three ways: monetary increase in productivity, percentage
increase in productivity, and reduction in labor costs. Outcomes: The results indicate substantial benefits for the healthcare field as a result of job crafting interventions, as measured by monetary increases in productivity. The percentage increase in productivity was estimated at 14% for a period of three months. The reduction in labor costs was estimated at 12% over a three-month period. Conclusions: Job crafting interventions could have a significant economic value for the Romanian medical sector.
